OT: Looking for recommendations on 3D modeling software
This is off topic but the end result will be for HP products so please bear with me.
I am looking for recommendation on 3D modeling software (preferably freeware) and a company that I can then send the 3D model to? make a battery holder clamshells.? I propose to make half clamshell pieces that would then make a complete? battery holder by using 2 pieces that would fit together. Thank you, Victor |
Re: looking for a few knobs
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf you have any questions about 3D printers, feel free to contact me, also offlist!
We are quite happy with our RenkForce RF100v2 system after adding
a part cooler and an enclosure. Enclosures are a feature where the
printer house generally like to charge a lot of money, but you can
build one easily from a LACK table =>
I am quite happy with my design, albeit I regret not also making
the back openable to access the filament supply. Not having the
printer subject to winding, and being able to heat up its den, has
made my life easier and prints more constant. I think about adding
a little thermo heater to heat the build chamber up faster.
Another important advice: heated beds are a bad bet. Get a Pritt
gluestick...

Re: looking for a few knobs
I received the files for the Bezels. Thanks. Most of this is work that would have needed to be done, and with the way things are right now, he may lose the house so he isn't far from being ruined. He's had a series of jobs. He seems to keep getting hired not long before a company or location closes. The big problem is that the previous owner was too damned cheap to do anything right. All she did was bitch about all the money that her dead husband had spent to have the home remodeled. He worked for the school board, and it's obvious that some of what was used came out of schools when repairs were made. Two breaker boxes have burnt, in the last 21 years. One would have burnt the place down, if I hadn't heard the noise as the main breaker burnt off of the buss bars. The other was on a pole, in the yard, but it burnt during the night, and killed everything but the shop building. My main complaint is the difficulty of doing the work with one good hand. Old age isn't for sissies! On Sun, Sep 6, 2020 at 10:40 PM Dave McGuire <mcguire@...> wrote: On 9/6/20 8:19 PM, Michael A. Terrell wrote: |
Re: HP 1817A TDR sampling head
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Craig, ???? Glad to find a guy who knows about 1817A sampler. This state of the art equipment (for then time it was marketed) has fallen in the museum class but works perfectly when the rather fragile sampler diodes are in good condition. Your suggestion to use a beam lead microwave schottky diode is one of the solutions I envisaged to fix my 1817's. I also tried some very tiny microwave SMD diodes (0.3 x 0.6 mm), which are supposed to be very fast (SMS 7621-060 from Skyworks).? If I have the binocular microscope, I don't unfortunately possess the micro tweezers (clamps) necessary to manipulate the diodes and put them at the right place on the holder, and my attemps to getb them in place? and to fix them with soldering paste have failed up to now. May be beam lead diodes would be easier to handle ! ??? Another solution I'll try will be to machine an new holder, fitting in place of the original one, and using an old DO34 housed Germanium point diode, which also presents very small capacitance and offset voltage. It is slightly bigger than the genuine one, but that seems workable. I recall you that the assembly is composed of the diode, a series 2.2 K resistor, and a 2 pf capacitor towards 7mm line body. The new part would fit, but electrical performances (rise time, overshoot) might be degraded ! ??? Thank You anyway to help me renewing one of the most advanced equipment ever marketed by former HP firm. (joined two drawings of one of the sampling diode part - there are 2 opposed polarity diodes ). ???? Jean-claude

Re: HP 1817A TDR sampling head
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI was thinking in terms of a beam lead microwave diode ¨C but held back from suggesting it given the difficulty in handling, mounting and soldering/conductive epoxy/lead bonding such physically tiny devices. But given the bandwidth of the 1817A sampler, that would seem to be the only easily procurable (and cheap!) part family. And they have the correct sort of capacitance (0.2pF) and inductance (<250pH) needed. Just don¡¯t sneeze when handling them ¨C and a good stereo microscope is essential. ? Craig ?

Re: looking for a few knobs
Hi, Michael. In my area of Southern California, we had a similar problem with mid 1960's power wiring.? We kept having outages in our neighborhood every month or so, and San Diego Gas & Electric kept band-aiding the old wiring.? Until I posted a formal complaint to the Public Utilities Commission, squeaky wheel kind of guy that I am.? That lit a fire under their chair and got us new wiring within a few months.? That was probably 4 years ago, and we haven't had an outage since. So go ahead and file a complaint.? It worked for me and my neighbors.? Good luck! Jim Ford Laguna Hills, CA

Re: Agilent 54831M
Overall, the scope won't calibrate, but the two healthy channels will look calibrated after the procedure fails. The two bad channels will not work properly on the 1Meg input impedance after the failed calibration.
The failed 50ohm inputs are 99.9% due to bad input hybrids, it doesn't take much of DC to blow the input (even the 50ohm resistor is integrated). It appears there is a chinese guy on EBay, selling these hybrids (expect a chunk of PCB with the chip soldered? on it). I did not buy any and don't know anybody that did, so the risk is all yours if you decide to go for.? Or you may want to hunt for another 54831 as a part mule, this is what I did and now have spares for the rest of my life. |
