Looking for 3d printable gears? Started watching tutorial on making double helical in fusion and decided something like this would be way easier.

Why Nothing Works Anymore

#Technology has its own purposes.

Ian Bogost, February 23, 2017

"The contemporary public restroom offers an example. Infrared-sensor flush toilets, fixtures, and towel-dispensers are sometimes endorsed on ecological grounds—they are said to save resources by regulating them. But thanks to their overzealous sensors, these toilets increase water or paper consumption substantially. Toilets flush three times instead of one. Faucets open at full-blast. Towel dispensers mete out papers so miserly that people take more than they need. Instead of saving resources, these apparatuses mostly save labor and management costs. When a toilet flushes incessantly, or when a faucet shuts off on its own, or when a towel dispenser discharges only six inches of paper when a hand waves under it, it reduces the need for human workers to oversee, clean, and supply the restroom.

"Given its connection to the hollowing-out of labor in the name of efficiency, automation is most often lamented for its inhumanity, a common grievance of bureaucracy. Take the interactive voice response (#IVR) telephone system. When calling a bank or a retailer or a utility for service, the IVR robot offers recordings and automated service options to reduce the need for customer service agents—or to discourage customers from seeking them in the first place.

"Once decoupled from their economic motivations, devices like automatic-flush toilets acclimate their users to apparatuses that don’t serve users well in order that they might serve other actors, among them corporations and the sphere of technology itself. In so doing, they make that uncertainty feel normal.

"It’s a fact most easily noticed when using old-world gadgets. To flush a toilet or open a faucet by hand offers almost wanton pleasure given how rare it has become. A local eatery near me whose interior design invokes the 1930s features a bathroom with a white steel crank-roll paper towel dispenser. When spun on its ungeared mechanism, an analogous, glorious measure of towel appears directly and immediately, as if sent from heaven."

Volunteering at school. Pencil sharpener wasn’t spinning. Brought home. Took apart and saw that white gear was slipping back out of contact. Put collar on shaft to maintain gear position. I suppose super glue could’ve worked. Hopefully uneven weight doesn’t wear out motor. #electricmotor #diy #mechanical #handyman #gears

Today I tried putting my boots on,
But too painful to walk.
Tried the old knackered boots,
They fitted and then started disolving.
We packed a few tools,
And took the oak chair back to Levenshulme Repair Cafe.
The tools were to donate,
They have a library of things there.
I returned the chair to the client,
She was so very happy.
Annoyingly I brought back another chair,
One I tried repairing before.
I warned them it would break again,
And it has.
Did a lot less this afternoon,
Only measured the trailer axle.
Had dinner with Mum,
Sausage and Mash tonight.
Caught up on some videos,
Now tired out.

Robot omni wheel. Now with two stepper motors. Any tips on how to get rid of that terrible gear/motor noise? #robot #3dprinting #gears

Holy shit - I'm dying laughing right now!!! #Gears

Docela geniální nápad, na tomhle kole: dva paralelní řetězy končí vzadu na pastorcích a vepředu na talířích o různém průměru, žádná složitá přehazovačka a sesmykání řetězu z převodů. Převody se přehazují prostě krátkým šlápnutím dozadu - žádné bowdeny, žádné ovládací prvky na řídítkách...

Ještě mi napadá, že toto by bylo výhodné uspořádání pro karbonové řemeny místo řetězu - tam přehazovačka z principu nejde použít, takže se používají pouze v kombinaci s drahými (a těžkými) nábojovými převodovkami (nevím, kolik váží tohle, ale nejspíš je to jen volnoběžka či torpédo s nějakým posuvným prvkem, tedy žádná ozubená kolečka uvnitř...)

Německý text jsem si nechal přeložit do angličtiny (ano, jsem stárnoucí a přirozeně konzervativní muž, takže mi trvalo léta, než jsem si na tohle zvykl a přestal preferovat zdroje v angličtině, ze kterých se ale prostě některé věci nedozvím)

For years I wanted a simple program to help me choose #gears on my #bike .

Is the gap between 4 and 5 on the rear #derailleur much bigger?

Are my front 2 and 3 gears overlapping?

With "Biegi", I know:
yes, 18% is the biggest change,
and no, I can fill some gaps with half-gears.

Should take like an hour with #QML, right?
(It took 6.)

Hey, Mastodon! I reverse-engineered Lego's orbit model of the Earth and Moon, in case any of you wondered how accurate it is:

I didn't know that truckers had to go through 10 gears -- just to reach highway speeds!

What happened after the Lightmass Bombing in #GearsOfWar and how did the Locust react to this devastating weapon

This 2009 graphic novel bridges the gap between the first and second installment in the franchise.
