I am prototyping paper airplanes usinge the idea of 3D-printing directly to thin paper and then cutting the parts for assembly. I also tried using a 3D-pen. Both ways work and the planes fly pretty well. Next up: bigger plane + supercap-motor unit. The idea is inspired by a recent video of Tom Stanton. #paperplanes #diy #stemeducation #mint #FediLZ #3dprint #3dprinting #PaperPlane #engineering #RCplanes

The maintenance cost nobody budgets for is other people’s incompetence-hours spent decoding bad decisions, fixing shortcuts, and absorbing the friction of someone else’s corner-cutting. It bleeds your calendar and your sanity faster than any broken pipe. #software #engineering #management

Over the past series of posts, I’ve been exploring how systems fail—and how some persist. Across engineering, biology, and digital systems, the same structural patterns keep appearing. This post brings them together. It’s a simple index of ten case studies, each showing a different way a system can fail, adapt, or disappear. No new theory here—just the map. “The Boundary Failure Series — A Master Index of Systemic Persistence” https://substack.com/@hybridmind42/note/c-249620403?r=75c2ac #SystemsThinking #ComplexSystems #BoundaryDynamics #BFPF #HybridMind42 #FailureAnalysis #Resilience #Engineering #Biology #Physics #StructuralAnalysis #Adaptation

Hello Fediverse! It's been a while — about 5 months since I last touched FreeCAD. Today I got an order for medical equipment and updated straight to version 1.1. Honestly? It feels more powerful and stable. The new feature that shows hole depth visually before cutting? Game changer. Saves so much guesswork. The photos show titanium trauma plates for orthopedics. Used for bone fixation in severe fractures. I can't share most of the dev work until patents clear, but here's a glimpse of what's allowed. Big thanks to the FreeCAD team. You're the only ones doing this not for profit, but for the people. #FreeCAD #CAD #MedTech #OpenSource #Orthopedics #Engineering #FOSScad #Titanium

The Tokaido Shinkansen continues operating in conditions that would shut down most rail systems.

Engineering behind it: 🔹 Advanced snow detection sensors 🔹 Heated track switching systems 🔹 Aerodynamic design prevents snow buildup 🔹 Real-time monitoring & predictive maintenance 🔹 Automated de-icing systems

Since 1964, the Shinkansen has maintained a perfect safety record while running at 320 km/h.

Atari ST Enthusiast announces the MiniST with FPGA, MiSTeryNano Core & black TKL Case. Yes, you’ve guessed it, the Atari ST 16-bit home computer is getting some mini-love at last, albeit in a very limited initial batch of five units at “approximately 350 euros” [~$400]. Information shared by [Dennis Shaw] in the Atari ST and STe users Facebook group indicates that this cute black TKL encased computer will be powered by a Tang Nano FPGA running the MiSTeryNano core. https://www.facebook.com/groups/133161394213/ #atari #minist #tangnano #fpga #engineering #media #diy #retrocomputing #artist #tech #maker #art #news

4/5 West India Quay Impounding Station Focusing in on the control panel for one of the pumps used to top up the docks on the Isle of Dogs in E London. I always like a bespoke control system. #fourthirds Olympus 7-14mm f4 on #OMsystemsOM1 #photography #industry #engineering #OMsystemsOM1

2/5 West India Quay Impounding Station Details of a crane/hoist inside the pump house used to top up the docks on the Isle of Dogs in E London. The facility dates from the 1920s but nearly everything will have been updated at some stage I suspect. @canalrivertrust. PL12-60mmf2.8-4 #OMsystemsOM1 #photography #industry #engineering

1/5 West India Quay Impounding Station The docks on the Isle of Dogs in E London are all connected and all lose water. These pumps top them up when needed. You can visit on occasional open days run by the Canal & River Trust @canalrivertrust. #fourthirds Olympus7_14mmf4 #OMsystemsOM1 #photography #industry #engineering #pump
