Surface Model for Pan Handle

2 0 Intermediate
In this video, I made a drawing of a pan handle made of injection plastic process. Because this is a plastic product, determining the position of the parting line is important. There are several surface commands that I use, including: - Loft surface - Swept Surface - Planar surfaces - Extend surface - Surface Trim - Knit Surface - Thickened Surface Enjoy following. Hope it is useful.

SOLIDWORKS - ⚙️ Animate 2D Sketches in PART

1 0 Intermediate
🔑 In this video, you will learn how to make blocks in drawings in the part environment and how to move the sketch using these blocks. By doing such studies, you can make prototypes of mechanism movements and prevent errors that may occur. With this method, you can design your complex mechanism movements in their simplest form. In the future, we will also show you how to move and animate sketches in the assembly environment.

"Failsafe" ESPHome Fireplace Controller

0 0 Intermediate
When asked what smart switch to use to control their gas fireplace, you see a lot of replies "do you want to be one software bug away from your fireplace turning on?" Granted, modern gas fireplaces have safeties in place to prevent un-lit open valves, runaway heating, etc., but some people would still rather have a hardware switch standing between them and fire. This project aims to be the best of both worlds: by running 5v power to the low-voltage switch box holding my fireplace wall switch (in my case, this involved pulling 5-conductor thermostat wire using the existing 2-conductor wire), you can power an ESP board running ESPHome. By running the actual thermostat switch signal through both a DPST and a (ESPHome-controlled) 3v relay, we can be sure that the fireplace is only "active" if the manual switch is turned on.
