Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By guns762: Originally Posted By Ranxerox911: I've had good luck heating acrylic (plexiglass) in an oven, and then forming it over a mold - it's really malleable when it is heated up. I used a two part compression mold because the application I had in mind required the final part to be precise; basically a mold with a void in the middle in the shape of the part you want to produce. The tricky part is heating the acrylic: a little too much heat and bubbles form in the acrylic, way too much heat and you have a puddle of acrylic, etc., etc. The canopy has been giving me nightmares since we decided to do this project. Hopefully we can pull it off. I understand the nightmare thing - comes with the territory, lol. I use polyurethane tooling board to form the mold, it's easy to shape and can be repaired with Bondo. I have the benefit of CNC machines, but you could use that router I saw in some pics to machine "slices" that when stacked together would form the canopy (the router can cut 3d shapes, right?). Years ago, we used this approach to build the shark from Universal Studio's "Jaws" ride for some hydrodynamic testing. I have some pics around here somewhere, I'll see if I can dig them up. We did the aircraft carrier bow in a similar fashion, but shaped it by hand rather than CNC:  Attached File Attached FileThe Shark (apologies if I've posted before):  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cargo: Good Luck on the new crew in the new school year... How are the projects received by the parents and community that get to go through the school? Does it drive more support for your programs? It's pretty well received by the community and parents. Last year, especially well from many parents. I will see if I can find some of the letters that are sharable. Last year's crew and their parents were something else. Those will be tough shoes to fill. Several of the parents were very generous with their money and kind words of support. I've mentioned that the displays are also shown off to many visitors during the year. People from other districts, even athletes from other districts can often be found wandering around the hallways before events. It's pretty cool. |

Some sort of servo actuator for the bay doors would be cool as was stated earlier. Even cooler would be some kind of clear "hanger" to pop an 120 AMRAAM out and then back in...
Might be too complicated but that would be cool! |

Rechargeable compressed air rocket that recharges in the launch bay, then shoots off down the track, only to be retracted up again, bay doors close and the air compressor starts up again?  Get robotics AND the physics students involved. |

You don't have to buy one our totally awesome shirts. I've got a very nice donation to give credit to this week. I just need a little time at my desktop. Yes it was pretty cool and probably the best part of high school. The engagement in that got me into basically being the type of person that is more diy and convinced me i can do more then i thought i was capable of. It's that attitude that set me on my path into the military as well. So imo this type learning is much better for kids that age than regular boring classroom work. It gives them a goal to work towards and understand the reasoning behind what they're leaning and ways to apply it. I'll never forget constantly asking myself in math class, when will i ever use this stuff in real life? And it's a horrible detriment to overcoming a learning barrier. While i don't have checks to send since i basically do everything electronic these days, I'll be on the lookout for the t shirt sale to hear donate funds to. Or i can just order a t shirt with it and give it to my niece or nephew i guess lol |

Guns,
Didn't want to derail thread so I thought I would get this in before kids were back and project really got going. I just wanted to thank you because in late June I punch my Dad card for the second time. Shuttle shirt was again worn as it proved to be lucky for first born in 2018. Baby girl did not take nearly as long as her older brother to come out, so shirt didn't nearly smell as bead this time. Kira was born on June 23rd:  And for reference this was Calvin back in 2018:  Thank you again sir. |

So, this year might be a bit different....
I sold my sanity last spring. There are so many students that want to take Art 1(more than 60), I was asked to teach a "0" hour. I'd be paid 1/7 of my salary extra. Pretty decent amount of money, but it would be crazy. I would have given up my "prep" hour, or taught a class at 7am. I did that once. It was a long year. I decided to make a deal with my Principal. I'd teach the 3rd section of Art 1 instead of having a dedicated Art 3,4,5(advanced students), and then sprinkle them through out the day in their own sections, I would teach them at the same time I'm teaching my other sections.  This was essentially going on already. The only thing that is different, is I don't get my advanced kids all by themselves. This will suck a bit, as it was always probably my favorite hour to teach. Now, I will have two classrooms going at the same time. Most combinations of sections for each hour will be close to 30; 20 in my regular class, and about 10 advanced. This gives my total class numbers a bump from around 120-130 to around 170-180. My Principal agreed to spot us about $2000 extra in supplies. Hope my sanity was worth it.
