Where Projects Are Born: Factory Five Racing | Sheet Metal Roofing Screws

This quaint custom began when John Hansard, a senior Unilever official and his wife visited Rahimyar Khan. They were upset by the lack of availability of certain items of their daily diet.

The purpose is to show off their new products that are coming. Sure, they could you just have a paper that lists the features. But as people are physically there, they might like to see something too. If it’s not fully build yet, they have to make up a prototype to show. It doesn’t really change anything with the product – when it gets out, reviewers will tell if it sucks then.

Standing-seam metal roofs are awesome. They look good, they’re watertight, and they last for 50 years without much trouble. Oh, and those seams are the perfect place to clamp solar mounts, without drilling into the roof.

Little things matter. When designing hardware, when building software, getting those little details right helps prevent errors and failures later on. The ranting about the wood screws dominated the original post: failing to correct that would help make anyone else who repeated the rant look like, well, like someone who shouldn’t be trusted with a screwdriver.

Yeah, I remember running to Sears for replacements. Around 1970, I was a shop mechanic and had one long skinny Craftsman that was great for adjusting carburetors. I broke the tip doing something stupid, ground it back into usefulness and eventually took it back on on of my regular migrations for replacement.

The Tolomatic RSX080 actuator, with forces up to 18,000 lbf (80kN), can replace hydraulic cylinders. Designed and tested for 100% duty cycle, the RSX080 actuator is roller-screw driven for long, consistent life in demanding environments.

If you plan to do a lot of cutting, its best to get a V-shaped jaw one. For moderate pounding choose one with an anvil on the back.

One more point to consider is overhang when bolt holes do not align nicely with the print bed. We can help our printer bridge odd bolt head surfaces by creating a thin layer (2-3 print layer heights thick) covering the bolt hole which can be cleaned up with a drill after serving its purpose. These are easier to remove and consume less material than the typical solution of printing supports.

I’ve stopped these noises from happening in homes by adding diagonal bracing to the roof rafters or trusses. It’s best if you can incorporate 2-by-6 material and use large timber screws instead of nails. You want to place at least two four-inch-long timber screws through the 2-by-6 where it passes over the underside of the roof rafter or truss.

For the throttle, I lined it up with the handle in a way that felt comfortable and then used a large bolt which I screwed into the handle. The Cyclone is a nice kit to use because it can take any voltage up to 72v nominal so the 52v nominal Ego batteries worked just fine (they claim 56v but they are really 52v nominal). There is also an on-off button and some LEDs to show how full the pack is.

Those original prototype Amigas (with the 5.25" drives and the expansion chimney) were in metal cases, not wooden. These generally had the older chips, Portia instead of Paula, Daphne instead of Denise, as I recall.
