An Engineer's Weekend
Добавлен 19 мар 2024
I am a multi-discipline design engineer that likes to make videos on the weekends! I like to make videos primarily on projects that I worked on, but there will also be tech related and product review videos.

3D Printed Vise - Design Engineering
Просмотров 1383 месяца назад
I go through the design process and making of a vise! The vise uses a combination of 3D printed parts and metal hardware to create a product with good versatility and strength. Try the project for yourself! I do recommend upgrading to a 1/2 inch, 13 mm, threaded rod for reduced deflection in the threaded rod. You'd have to update the model and change some hardware to accommodate. Check it out o...

Can It Handle the Stress?! - Testing Plastic Welds
Просмотров 1576 месяцев назад
In this video I stress test the plastic welding method that I used in my plastic welding videos, as well as two other common methods for adhering plastic. At the end there are some stress strain curves that may or may not have surprising results. Apologies for the audio being slightly out of sync, Adobe Premier Pro shifted the audio while exporting.

can you put a cleaning solution in with the clean water or no?

one reason to go amd ryzen is for bifurcation for things like hba pcie cards to add more sata ports or m.2 nvme ssds. bifurcation depends on what the mobo supports. the amd mobos tend to support this, check the mobo page for the dets.
Hey man, nice video. I am about to upgrade/downgrade (depending on how you look at it) from Proliant DL380 G9 to DIY Ryzen 7600/7700. I am still wondering if I should go with gaming or server grade motherboard , but most likely I will choose one of the ASRock server B650 boards and benefit from the DDR5 ECC. But my bigger concern is migrating the pool. I want to upgrade from Core to Scale, but I wonder if first I should upgrade the current HP Proliant to Scale,then move the physical hard drives to the new machine... I don't know, any advices on that ?
Hi nice video review. Does it take more time to clean compared to ones with cleaning solution like regular s5? I feel to steam out dirts u need to go slow on floors ensuring that stains are cleaned thoroughly, comparatively solution based mops may not need so slow passes??
Buongiorno posso chiedere come secondo te il lavapavimenti me li consigli o meglio uno senza fili
Really good idea
Looks good! You would never over engineer something. :) Hope you are doing well.
Hey you are the perfect person to answer my question!! It specifically says its not compatible with any cleaning solutions (pinesol has been known to break machines you are supposed to use only machine floor cleaners in the compatible machines) They tell you specifically to only use water even for the non steam mode but i have to wonder if this isnt to encourage people to purchase 2 vacuums or the very expensive one that is says does all 3 Especially because they have one that does all 3 and i cant find any info on how its buit differently that would make it incompatible with machine cleaning solution Any ideas on why it might be harmful?
That is difficult to judge without tearing both machines apart or having a complete model or engineering document. All I can do is guess at this point. The most basic issue may come from the dirty water (optical) sensor. Even liquids that may look completely translucent to a human may not to the sensor. Also, soap bubbles can make the sensor think the water is dirty, and the waste water tank would fill rapidly in volume and complete the circuit of the full tank sensor. There is also the question of what material the machine is made of internally. There very likely could be a component that could rapidly degrade while in contact with some cleaners. Chemically resistant materials can be significantly more expensive than materials that aren't rated for chemical resistance. Lastly, the way they heat the fluid for steam can affect what chemicals can safely be used with the machine. In the machine I tested in this video, the cleaner would have to be mixed with the water, there is no way to separate them within the machine. They appear to be nearly flash hearing the water, meaning the water comes into contact with a small but very high energy heating element. It is possible that the flashpoint of a cleaning solution is low enough that it could start a fire.
@@AnEngineersWeekend thanks for responding!
Can it clean vertical surfaces?
I have not tested that. Although, probably not. Gravity likey is needed to properly pull water from the water tank. So if you invert the machine it could have issues pumping water. This is just a guess, you'd have to ask Tineco.
PLEASE HELP MY STEAM IS NOT WORKING!!.. it's only been used for 1.5 months, had contacting customer service but they asked me to send the unit to their warehouse which mean high cost of shipping. Have tried all troubleshooting I could think of, but the problem still presist!. Internet please help!
They will send you a rma, andxa new machine
Does it trapped long hair at the side of the rollers like most vacuum cleaner?
Ive heard it doesnt. It sucks it up and may get clogged up in the tubes, but other than that it's not been a problem for my friend that has one.
great video thanks
80 bucks? you just need a coupler andideally a metal extruder. thats like $15
Sorry there wasn't a whole lot of detail. The hot end was no longer heating properly, the Y-axis belt was showing a lot of wear. Also, if I'm going to take the time, I would have preferred to upgrade it to direct drive.
I’d recommend getting a new printer, if you have the budget for it I’d say get a Bambu labs A1/A1 mini, roughly $400 for the A1 (unsure of a1 mini) and another $140 for the a1 combo, which comes with the ams which is their multicolor system and a few other cool things. I bought one recently from your exact printer and couldn’t be happier. Great quality, VERY fast (like 400mm/s fast) and it can do multicolor for a very affordable price (for what it gives)
Just buy yourself a ender 3 V3 SE and enjoy stressless printing
I actually got a notification from Amazon for a flash sale for the Ender 3 V3 KE a couple hours after posting this. Amazon and Creality were suspiciously on point and I spent $238.
I like the way you have proceeded with your plan, and reasoning. But these would serve a home server. For a NAS you don’t need all that power. Just hard drives and wired Ethernet, with the least power consuming CPU.
I'm attempting to build an all-NVME NAS, and I selected my motherboard based on the number of Gen3x4 or Gen4x4 connection points. The reason for this is a device from OWC called the U2 Shuttle which can fit 4 Gen3 NVME drives in a 3.5" HD form factor enclosure. You connect it to your motherboard via U.2 which requires 4 PCIe lanes that you can get either from a PCIe slot, an M.2 slot, or by other connectors not generally available on consumer motherboards (all via adapters). The Shuttle does this using a PCIe switch, but it should still get you speeds faster than your network connection. If you search around for the right motherboard, you can connect up to 8 or 9 U2 Shuttles, for a frankly ridiculous 36 NVME drives on one consumer PC. Motherboards eg. ASRock X670E Steel Legend (9 Shuttles), Asus Prime Z790-P WIFI (8 Shuttles). I'm still scraping up the funds to populate just the one Shuttle...
Nice review, but let me ask you a question that is bothering me on this machine, i dont know if it is only mine (because i bought it cheaper, as was probably a returned item) but i find the self propelling system to be too strong and makes it harder to manouver, what is your experience on this?
I do not have that problem, although it sounds like it could depend on the person.
Thanks for this great video! I love the part on objectives and interfaces vs justification - it’s a good way of helping me make up my mind about getting this cleaner. In fact, I did buy it on Amazon yesterday solely because of the video 😊
Love the build, my nas is currently a thinclient with a m.2 hba connecting 6x16tb drives, I'm still kinda scared having so much data on such a janky setup, but it's honestly pretty safe, even losing all your configuration, truenas can figure the layout of your vdev out and restore the configuration. One thing I would definately have done differently in your build though, is using a ryzen 8000 apu, due to their monolithic design, they have a way lower idle power draw and also quite a bit more GPU power if you ever want to run compute / ml tasks.
I have the concept 2 cage, it's as bad as you might expect. Holds 5 drives though!
Well, cool video so far. One flaw still: the comparison of power consumption on AMD vs. Intel platforms is not sufficient for average users, I'd say. What weighs much more than TDP or maximum power draw is the average power consumption at idle state because NAS (and home servers) are sitting at idle by far most of the time instead of doing high load. So quantification of these idle state draw would be a blast. My old Core i9-9900K e.g. at idle takes 6 W from the wall while my Ryzen 7 7800X3D never goes below 30 W at idle. Taking into account that the NAS (or server) CPU will be in idle 90% of the time this will make a huge difference in power draw and on your bill during a year. Good luck with AMD! They all are bad at idle, while Intel CPUs with an ideal CPU-Mobo combination in idle might just suck 0.1-0.2 W from the wall (like my 6500 in a Lenovo mini pc does...) 😆
Can this be used to mop the floor without the steam as well?
Yes
Subscribed. Looking forward to a video on how to use a cache drive on truenas
This video is BRILLANT. I was blind, but now I see. Building a new NAS and this sorted me out. Thank you!
This was a great video, informative and care taken to develop the configurations fully with very good recommendations and considerations. I really felt informed once I finished the video. I will keep this handy. I am retired as a network engineer, but I keep a hand in the game. I need to shatter my cloud storage dependence, so I keep this video and your channel handy! Thank you did a good job!
I don't know if anybody mentioned this yet but Intel is the go to option if IDLE power is what you're worried about. Something like i3 12100 or i5 12400 sips much less power at idle than 7600 for example (Ryzen 5000 has even worse idle power usage). If you expect to be writing/reading from your NAS at all times (for example editing daily) then AMD could be the better option. Also things like older NIC's and HBA's don't always support lower "C-states" which can prevent your CPU from going to deeper "C-states" (power saving modes). P.S. before anybody calls me an Intel shill, most of my homelab servers are AMD based so I have had to experienced this first hand... :P
not helpful. 8plus minutes talking about pcie bandwidth -- not helpful. the most important thing , at least for me , is the number of sata ports available NAS. (the #sata ports on the mobo) here is my NAS (FreeNAS) ===================================================================== Version 11.1.0.4 - Atomics (revision 5017) Compiled Sunday December 10 10:33:21 CST 2017 Platform OS FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6 #0 r326737M: Sun Dec 10 00:45:11 CET 2017 Platform x64-full on AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 450 Processor System ASRock 970DE3/U3S3 System BIOS American Megatrends Inc.

(pice lanes is the last thing , if ever , that you will think about when building a NAS) as for motherboards , the newer boards seem to be focused on gaming and few sata ports , so good luck finding a board with 8sata ports. Even 6sata ports get diminished to 4sata , cuz the nvme ssd slot rob you of 2sata ports on most of the boards I've looked at. bottom line , you can play around with pcie bandwidth nonsense , or just build a very reliable NAS without worrying (who cares) about pcie bandwidth.
NICE
Ive used JB Weld plastic epoxy a few times successfully for patching holes in those ribbed hoses for a pool filter and a washing machine drain, but ive never had any success with it outside of that singular application. Great video, great channel. Thanks for doing it.
You recommend amd over intel. While intel uses more power when it is used amd usually has much higher idle power. If you know your system is going to idle most of the time intel is usually the better choice unless you go for a modt (mobile on desktop) motherboard.
Power consumption should have been an important factor to consider with your build. Yes you don't pay a monthly fee. However running it 24/7 like many of us use a NAS would certainly add a considerable amount to the electricity bill. This should have been factored in to the comparison of the different solutions. Making the build more power efficient would have increased the upfront cost.
I bought a Supermicro MB. Both their Server boards and Workstation boards have most of what you need for a server.
They do, but they can require higher end equipment to accommodate their server centric focus. Often their power considerations have been more data center level than home user level as well. But their boards are good but somewhat different from consumer boards, it just depends on what you think is best for your device machine build! There is usually a cheaper resource for used equipment also that can be a consideration if you wish to build Supermicro!
Awesome video! Very easy to follow, and custom animations are amazing. Must be a lot of work to make though. Gj
this guy crushes my hopes and dreams and tells me to get a paper and pen within 5 minutes... and so I do :(
Great video and very well explained. One minor correction: SATA uses 8b/10b encoding: thus 6 Gbps SATA is not 750 MB/s, but 600 MB/s. In the examples, 220 MB/s = 2.2 Gbps (not 1.76 Gbps) & 560 MB/s = 5.6 Gbps (not 4.5 Gbps). Thus a SATA SSD is truly nearly exhausting the available data rate. The overhead is minimal (560 MB/s achieved, 600 MB/s theoretically).
How did you calculate those
@@notaras1985 It is confusingly written, apologies. 220 MB/s, as delivered via SATA, is 2.2 Gbps. SATA includes the overhead in their MB/s numbers. This is mandatory overhead because it's used in parity; it's not like a "more optimized" SATA controller will reduce this overhead. That's why the maximum real data rate of SATA III is set to 600 MB/s; there's no way to "find" that 150 MB/s. That 150 MB/s was used for parity and did not contain any actual data. So the calculation is to divide by 10. 6 Gbps = 600 MB/s. The SATA specs: SATA III: 6 Gbps = 600 MB/s SATA II: 3 Gbps = 300 MB/s SATA I: 1.5 Gbps = 150 MB/s We need 1.0 Gigabit to deliver 100 MB/s with 8b/10b encoding. This is a physical specification, so we need to take into account encoding / decoding.
Damn man you are one of those channels that will become millionaires. Keep up the good work. I hardly have implemented hand based calculations i learned as mechanical engineer and usually just simulate stuff but damn i missed that part of engineering.
I bought my computer 3 years ago, had a guy build it to my specs cheaper than I could source all the parta, he must have access to price discounts that I dont. 2 nvme drives 2 hdd 2 2.5gb ports. Its been serving me well. Rtx 2080 video card its not top of the line anymore but It was closer a few years ago when I bought it.
Great work, I personally would have purchased a used machinest vice and a load cell and called it a day. Vices have huge ratings already, are made of solid metal, are cheap and readily available and would require minimum modification to function in this capacity. But hey, it was a cool project anyway. Just my thoughts.
Yeah but then we won't have this cool contraption and won't have to perform all these calculations. Something something we mechanical engineers do😁
well, I think that CWWK Q670 Gen 5 NAS Board will also do the job. in much cases
Does the roller head spin when using the steam mode?
Yes
The edge cleaning is needed since that is where most hair accumulates (at least in my home). Did it leave any watermarks after the floor dried?
It did not leave water marks on my floor, but I also only used filtered water.
if this is your main issue i think you just should get a regular broom and sweep the edges that you need, is not a huge inconvenience
Wow! I did not realize this channel was so small until after the video when I went to like. Great work!
There are 5 common types of PCIe slots and cards: x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16. The numbers represent the number of lanes on the card or slot
the music is WAY too loud, making it harder to hear what you are saying - and why is it even there in the first place? 🤮
Great video! I am a solidworks user myself with 5950x, 64gb ram and 3tb storage. I use keyshot for visualization which is cpu intensive application mostly. Since none of my work involves gpu intensive load yet, I am cruising along with an old 1660ti. But for large assemblies rhe vram falls short so might upgrade in near future.
Thanks, I appreciate your work. I am actually testing a home server on a raspberry pi and thinking of building a proper setup for storage, streaming service and a Minecraft server. Now I know what to look for. All the best
The death of SLI made it super hard/expensive to find boards with dual 8x pcie slot configuration. 14 years ago you could easily get that for less than 150$ now 400$ if you're lucky
I would look for used server gear, preferably by Supermicro they are less locked down in the bios.
Well done. A lot of weekend warriors have no idea what they're doing, and guides like this are extremely helpful.
