be careful spinning out there folks

Goo P-Nut Sack posted:

I've been printing fidget spinners for fun and practice with settings etc. Pro tip: don't chooch a PLA spinner up past ~4000 rpm with an air gun, I'm posting from the doc's office. The bearing on one of the legs absolutely exploded out and gave me a nice laceration.



(that style of bearing is good for like 20,000rpm, so i believe he's saying that the centrifugal force was too much for his 3d print and the printed frame exploded and that's what caused the injury)

the more i work with students in a shop the more i'm convinced that evolution just has not prepared us for the kinds of dangers that power tools create. you have to experience the unexpected ways that the tool can hurt you before you truly develop a sense of how to be safe. a fly cutter in a milling machine going 3000rpm just looks like a smooth gray blur, hardly frightening, but if you touch it you will remove your fingers.

a couple of semesters ago i had a student who got a laceration a lot like that one because he was drilling a hole in a CD-sized piece of sheet metal that he had just lopped out with tin snips, and he tried to hold the metal in place on the drill press with his hand. i wish i'd caught him before it happened, but now he'll never do that again.

when i was ~ four or five years old i learned how you could make a magnet by wrapping wire around a nail and connecting the wire to a battery. i also learned that you could make a motor with a magnet.

so i decided to make my toy truck motorized by wrapping wire around the axle. i didn't have a battery though so i plugged the ends of the wire into a wall socket

lol

i actually didn't get shocked but i did get showered with sparks and burned the wall a bit. it's one of my earliest memories for obvious reasons

that's because UK electricity needs a larger separation between the conductors for the higher voltage, and each plug must also have an internal fuse because of their incredibly dumb ring-main wiring that is marginally cheaper than the american system but also makes your house much more likely to burn down.
