    So Simple... It's Beautiful

    HOT! 
    I hate to keep answering your question with more questions, but I think a few things need to be clarified. Call me over-analytical, but I have a hard time getting around it. How quickly do the paperclips need to be heated? Do they need to be held at the temperature for any length of time...

    Does it matter how the paperclips are heated? Radiation, conduction, induction?

    Moving into an Entrepreneur House?

    I don't think you can go wrong moving in with like-minded people who are equally, if not more, driven and creative as yourself. The benefits you mentioned above are all on-point, so if you were in the market for a new place to begin with, I say "go for it."

    A good takeaway from today: When someone offers to help you, make sure that you pay it forward. It's an invaluable habit to get into.

    What's In Your Shaker?

    I laughed out loud at this. I could only imagine.

    The important takeaway here is that I am learning something new with the program every day. As Wilddog mentioned, I have a decent grasp of CAD, so I have shifted my focus to creating value using what I already know well. For a case in point, I was able to help a friend (and former employer)...

    I started designing my own product yesterday to solve a problem that I've had for a few years. Than you for clarifying. I think it makes more sense to outsource the jobs that you can't do as well on your own. I also enjoy 3D modeling. It's cathartic, and it's my creative outlet. I wouldn't...

    I like your idea, and it was something I thought of when I created this thread. I'm going to put the blog on hold for now while I focus on this thread and other parts of the forum. I am not as productive when my attention is divided across too many projects.

    Well put! I am not the most articulate speaker, so you will have to be patient with me. ;) A collaboration sounds like fun and a great way to network. Let me know when you're ready, and we'll see if I can handle the task.

    This is an exercise in design, discipline, credibility, and confidence building for me. Each post makes me more comfortable with making my work public. Every design is different, and each time I use SolidWorks I find a new use for its tools. I find that part of the process empowering; it...

    Thank you for the feedback. I look forward to uploading more unique designs as my skills with the program improve. I searched for CAD forums and wasn't impressed with what I saw; there isn't a lot of activity. Are there any that you had in mind? It doesn't look like I can export files as an...

    After a few lessons on YouTube, I felt confident enough to use the loft and sweep tools. I free-handed the head of a golf club, so please excuse any wonky geometry. Shapes like this are hard to work with without any equations or dimensions to define the curvature. Total time: ~ 1 hour and 40...

    Day 2: Rancho Racing Intake Manifold Total time: 2 hours and 57 minutes Getting Started: Measuring the base was a major pain in the a$$. Nearly every hole and edge is skew. That is, none of them line up nicely, although they look parallel or perpendicular in some areas. Have a look...

    Bonus post: I decided to make the tire, bearings, and complete the assembly. That's all for today. Total time: 1 hour and 56 minutes. Bearing: Created a profile and revolved it 360 degrees for the races. Repeated the process using a semi-circle for the ball. Radial pattern for the ball...
