    Festive Greetings 2016

    Hey everyone! Been a while since I've stopped through... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to those that celebrate it. Otherwise, "Live Long and Prosper" should still cover the sentiment! :D

    Screw Selector-- The Return...

    Hi guys! Been a long, long while since I've been able to get back to any of this. With the advent of WizoScript, things have gotten a lot easier from a coding perspective. And now, after a free afternoon, I submit to you the first draft of the new Screw Selector... Right now only SHCS (Metric...

    Springs in assemblies

    While the helix is great for making springs, sometimes you'd like to see one compress or extend whilst constrained within the assembly. Since I just had to do one in SolidWorks, I though I'd do one up in GM and share it here. I'll do up a tutorial when time allows, but don't expect it to be too...

    Farewell...

    Well, it's been a good run. Unfortunately, my time has been spent in other directions and I, sadly, am having to put my resources elsewhere. :cry: On the bright side, though, it's great to see a whole bunch of new (comparatively speaking) faces around here on the forums. I know that things...

    Avatars and Imageshack Issues

    Anyone else have issues? Seems like some of my files aren't sticking. EDIT: rephrase that-- some of my newer files aren't sticking, while older files (a year old or so) seem to be okay.

    Button for Thinwall features... Now it's official!

    After looking back over my past year's worth of posts, I see I've never made this an official Enhancement Request! :shock: Notice there is not an option for calling me "monkey-boy" on this poll, keeping me out of ridicule's way-- maybe. And while this is one that's near and dear to my heart...

    Sensor for solar tracker

    Had an idea for a sensor to use in a 2-axis solar tracker, for guidance on solar panels or heaters. Ideally, when the tube is pointing at the sun, all four sensors (photocells) should have light falling on them, as the sun moves, a shadow should fall over one of the sensors, signalling the PLC...

    Robotic CNC

    Anyone see one of these in action? I could see where there would be a cost savings over a standard CNC mill. I haven't seen much in the way of software or compatability thereof, but it does seem to open up some interesting avenues. Plus, it really pushed my "geek" button. :wink...

    WAAAY off topic: Requesting homework help from the U.K.

    I don't normally start an off-topic post, but this is something that could combine my daughter's homework with a bit of family history. My eleven-year-old daughter's class have a "Nation Notebook" assignment. They drew names of countries out of a hat and create a report about it over the...
