1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

So, there are only very few dimensions that are "must-haves" being the overall height of 20" and overall length of 12"

Aside from that, certain parts can vary in length as long as we use the same base parts IE 1/8" thick flat bar and 4" square tubing, etc.

For instance, a close-up of my drawing here -



One of the guys achieved the overall length of 12" by using a longer straight piece versus my 2.825" piece, and shorter angled piece versus my 6.750"

I chose to find even, easier to cut dimensions.

 

It's by Solidworks, but is in 2D only.

See above post.

 

Ignore the lines that extend past any and all edges of the project itself.

Those are phantom lines, and I use those to reference dimensions when I make a top view or side view.

 

My brain had a long day. That information is effecting my productivity tomorrow. lol. That is super complicated shit!

 

It's really easy actually.

There are commands to create a specific radius, find a tangent, create a fillet, and more.

You can also simply "inquire" or straight up add dimensions to parts if you're breaking down an assembly and want to find out what angle is what for 'fabricating' something.

You can choose custom lines, or utilize those that are 'standard' in the industry, to create solid object lines, construction lines, hidden lines, and more.

Stupid useful stuff!

 

Yeah. I've had some friends tell me it's some TikTok thing now. I'm only 23 but this stuff makes me feel old. I hate high school kids.

 

Oh, yeah, but you have all that figured out command wise. Design software is something that I don't have the patience for. I operate like a 9 year old. Cardboard and scissors. Or just point at something and Ill make that thing. I am a badass on excel though. haha

 

Did they hurt though? Curious For reasons

 

CAD or for some cardboard aided drafting/design

 

No. Although one gun being used was an actual airsoft gun which hurt a bit.

It was more the fact that they ruined my run following me around. Can't hold a pace/stride, mental state, and general vibe for the run when you have those jerks following you around.

 

Yep! Mostly I don't even use cardboard. Freestyle!

 

Yea I can see that being frustrating.

We’re just thinking about getting some to shoot each other with

 

Oh yeah. I could see shooting friends with them being fun. They felt like the Walmart-grade budget air soft guns and didn't leave red marks on me.

 

I hate Tik Tok so much. Shit should be banned.

All its gonna take is for some dumbass to grab a high velocity pellet gun instead of an airsoft rifle and seriously hurt or kill someone

 

Texas teen to receive new truck after tornado flipped it in viral video
Riley Leon, 16, was driving home on U.S. Highway 290 from an interview with Whataburger when his truck was flipped on its driver side by a tornado.

I saw that earlier, that was nuts. Talk about lucky (them being OK)

 

Yep. A grim reminder tornado season is here. It's been unseasonably cool this spring as well.

 

What's up with the dog avatar? Is that yours?

 

wait, I thought @CS_AR was a dog

 

Wish my dog could work a computer!
