Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

In the world of cheaty foods, broccoli cheese soup has always seemed like one of the cheatiest. There's nothing wrong with owning it: Cheese is delicious, and not every single lunch has to be virtuous. Still, I sometimes wish that the broccoli part of the whole thing was taken a little more...

I made a platform for our (Absolutely, batshit-f-ing crazy) husky so that she can get treats from my neighbor Joyce. Our beloved dog Annie (RIP baby) used to be able to get pettins from Joyce without needing a platfom. Skye the (Absolutely batshit-f-ing crazy) husky isn't as tall so she needed a lil lift. Any time Joyce is in her yard, Skye, the (Absolutely batshit f-ing crazy) husky, jumps on the platform ad looks for treats. As you can see, the fence takes a rather dramatic step downward. This is because when I was replacing the fence I had planned to make it taller. Joyce basically cried and so I changed plans and made it so she could still pet the doggies. The platform is pure shite in terms of quality, but I used left over pieces of wood and cut nothing. It works though. :D

Dogs absolutely love these things.

They love having something they can stand on and look over the fences.

Of course, our dog, tried to make the leap from the platform over the fence (to wit we came home to him with blood all over his leg, and his knee torn open -- with a big, stupid grin on his face). So, make sure they can't launch from it. But boy, do they love to look over.

We could always tell when our Mom was coming home, because our dog heard the car and would jump on to look over and see her coming.

Always fun driving around down to see other dogs doing similarly.
 
BTW, I had to dig through four or so pages to find this thread. Let's keep it going, I know you guys are still makin shit. Post it up!!
 
Dude bro! I am an aspiring 3D modelling guy. Using Solid Edge because that's what we use here. It's hard for an old manufacturing guy but I'm trying!!
 
I'm happy you went right to the modeling part, because that's really what 3d printing is, imo. People naturally think 3d printing is about buying the right machine, or tuning settings, material type....pffft...that stuff is all nonsense. The effort surrounding 3d printing, is modeling.

I'm using OnShape, but my projects are really simple, squares and circles and whatnot.

Why are you splicing orings?
I didn't even know that was a thing

Pretty much all large and/or non-standard size orings are "custom" made, where you buy linear stock and then glue or melt them together depending on the material type. The orange polyurethane is nice because you just use a lighter to melt the ends and stick them together, but the regular buna material is normally glued, which if you ever have to do that, the black max from loctite works well.

I just had to do this, fixing out the pneumatic booster on the drawbar system for our shops Akira Seiki. non-standard 100mm o-ring 6mm thick got some cord stock off mcmaster and glued away. 3-d printed jigs are a great idea for that and would have made my life easier had I seen this earlier. That being said, my shop doesn't have a printer for me to readily whip up jigs.
