3D Scan to 3D Print due to a random online needing this cover and it is out of stock at Canyon. After doing so many of these reverse engineering projects as an unskilled hobbyist, you can see why the patent/IP system is so flawed and not founded on current technology and the advancement of manufacturing capabilities.
A small project to reverse engineer a small Canyon aluminum part to continue testing my 3D scan workflow. 3D printed it to check dimensions and fit before CNC’ing it. So far so good.
Reflecting on the past year, I remember several memorable moments. One of the smaller yet most impactful opportunities was sharing the “Why” behind a great Mobile Experience with approximately 100 new SAP employees during their onboarding. This experience reinforced the importance of understanding the rationale behind our mobile initiatives and how it shapes our work within the company hashtag#LifeAtSAPhashtag#Mobilehashtag#EnterpriseMobilityhashtag#Applehashtag#AppleAtSAP
Squirrels nests are commonly known as “Dreys”. I have spent 20 odd years wondering what types of nests these were in the trees, and on a beautiful walk at Goat Island with the family, Claude helped to identify them 🙂
Another cyclical pattern of my like back into photography. My Dad and sister inspired me along time ago to get into the hobby and its always more meaningful when you have a subject or interest which draws you in. In this cycle, it’s the girls Volleyball and sporting events/matches which have me intrigued along with capturing some shots for their social media accounts. I quickly learned shooting VB indoors requires a really good low light lens and the 70-200 2.8 seemed like a good choice. I have not shot video with it yet but hopefully soon (which was my primary motivation for the T2i years ago).
Nice comparison between the lens speeds for similar shots/situations:read more
I wish I could call myself a collector, but at this stage it’s simply an enthusiast. This is slightly personal and sentimental, but in our home life my dad never wore his shirt, it was general always hot, muggy, beach like weather in East London and therefor slipslops (optional) and shorts outside of work were the norm. But there was one thing he did wear religiously, and that was his Omega Speedmaster Mark II.
He originally purchased it while in Switzerland in around 1973. He had it serviced once (that I can remember) because it kept getting moisture under the glass. When he passed away, I didnt want to ask for the watch, but it was always on my wish list. On my 40th birthday I purchased the same watch (Make/Model) as a keepsake and as a simple reminder. After a few years, my mom offered me the watch and I now have two 🙂 I wold like to “collect” more, and while I do also have my grandfathers Seiko and a few more cool watches, I would not call myself a horologist or collector just yet 🙂read more
One benefit of owning multiple Canyon bikes is that the majority of them have had the same style/shape of stem caps. From my very first one until now, I have printed, CNC’ed, laser cut, and layed up over a dozen, each with some unique design or nuanced variation depending on the manufacturing method. This version was no different 🙂 I have been waiting to streamline the design to have it fit closer to the bar profile on my MTB. So this time I set out to CNC a mold, wet lay carbon into the mold, and then CNC the shape.
Variant 1: Failed 🙁 the shape worked quite well but the finish was ugly and would be a nightmare to CNC accurately.
Variant 2: Failed 🙁 I CNC’ed the shape using Aluminum, wet layed the carbon, but it cured into the mold and was unable to demold it successfully with delaminating/damaging the part.read more
