Good design, as defined by Dieter Rams, a renowned German industrial designer, encompasses a set of ten principles that have left a lasting impact on the field of design across various disciplines.

Below is a concise overview of Dieter Rams' principles:

Manufacturing issues will almost always keep you busy.

Don't have a printer suggestion. I haven't even really used one yet. Haven't had the opprotunity. However, I do want to get one for 'shop' purposes!

No problem. That’s what I am here for. Cheers!

Good morning nostr!

You were designed to be creative, by the Good Lord.

It is inherent in all of us to use our creativity to better the world. In our own way.

To not do so goes against our very nature.

Peace be with you this morning!

Cheers!

That is a good question! You kinda answered it in your note.

The reason you can get an accurate measurement from a corner or an edge is because of the movement.

When you measure from a corner your measurement starts on the outside edge of the hook.

When you measure from an edge, the measurement starts on the inside side of the hook.

The hook is about 1/16" inch wide, so the error between the two measurements is 1/16".

If the hook moves, say 1/16" it will correct for that error.

Does that help?

Lol, Nothing is more ingrained into American carpenters than reading the tape measure and the fractions. We have a source of pride with that skill.

Why ruin that with your easy to use metic system?

Cheers!

s reading a tape measure... well, a mystery?

Well, here is what you need to know:

Reading a tape measure is a basic skill used in various DIY projects and construction work. Here's a brief guide on how to read a tape measure:

1 - Understanding the Parts:

- Blade: The metal strip of the tape measure.

- Hook: The metal piece at the end that moves for accurate measurements.

- Markings: The measurement markings on the blade.

2 - Start at Zero:

- When measuring, align the hook at the starting point, and the measurement begins from the zero mark.

3 - Whole Inches:

- The largest markings on the tape measure represent whole inches. Each inch is divided into smaller segments.

4 - Half-Inch Mark:

- Between each whole-inch mark, there's a smaller mark indicating half an inch.

Quarter-Inch Mark:

- Some tape measures have even smaller marks between the half-inch marks, representing quarter-inch measurements.

5 - Eighth-Inch and Sixteenth Mark:

- In some tape measures, you may find even smaller marks between the quarter-inch marks, indicating eighth-inch and sixteenth inch measurements.

6 - Reading the Measurement:

- Identify the whole-inch measurement first, then check for any additional markings indicating fractions.

7 - Adding Fractions:

- If you have multiple measurements, add the whole inches separately and then add the fractions.

8 - Measuring Length:

- When measuring length, ensure the tape is pulled straight for accurate results.

Recording Measurements:

Record your measurements as whole inches or a combination of inches and fractions.

Remember to use the appropriate side of the tape measure (imperial or metric) based on your project's requirements. Practice and familiarity with the markings will improve your accuracy over time.

Your part drawing may be wrong...

But here is the standard you need to use.

Avoid confusion and errors in production by mastering Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

Unlike traditional methods, GD&T offers precise communication through symbols, enhances accuracy in form and location, optimizes tolerances for cost savings, eliminates stack tolerance issues, simplifies inspections, and promotes Design for Manufacturing (DFM).

Upgrade to GD&T for more accurate and efficient technical drawings.
