Updates for 10-28-2019

It’s the last Monday in October. Boy has this year flown by.

Last week was a busy week for me, we’ve been working on the design evaluation and redesign of the 3D printer before we start making chips. Here’s a write up covering that:

The VZ-58 Build is wrapping up, we are installing the last few components in the fire control group. We started with the magazine hardware

For those who are interested more in the manufacturing of ammunition, we kicked off a series of write ups on Variation. This one is an introduction to much of the terminology and measurements use to quantify variation within a data set.

Thanks for taking the time to subscribe. You may have noticed there’s a lot of frying pans in the fire, which is good. It allows me to work on a few different things while I wait for parts to arrive.
