Title: Project wrTie: Intro to my mechanical pencil build
Post by: thecogwheel on November 23, 2016, 08:33:23 PM: I thought I would introduce my newest project (with my first post), a titanium mechanical pencil:

I use a mechanical pencil everyday and I thought it would be interesting to document a build using video. I'm hoping it will be an educational video series, I will certainly be learning a lot and I hope others will be able to learn a few things from what I learn. It will be a full build, from start to finish. Currently I only have a few sketches for the mechanism. I'll be designing it in Autodesk's Fusion and I will release the CAD as I go. Once I get going I'll post the link for the CAD here, and on my blog as well.

I'll try to keep this thread updated as well once I get going.

Episode 2 will be posted much quicker!

Edit: Here is the direct link as well just in case the video doesn't directly show up in the forum.

Sigh!
Anyway, looks like you have an interesting - fiddly project to keep you and us amused.

Edit: Well here it is about an hour later and on my desktop PC that also uses F/Fox and all is working fine. Laptop was the previous machine whilst sitting in the recliner rocker. Blankety Blank computers.

I'm not getting the movie, just a big empty space!

If I right click in that empty space I get a window that says 'movie not loaded'. The same thing happens on Doc's thread.

Me too Pete. I got the same message on my Laptop but as I said, worked fine on the desktop. Only difference I am aware of is that the Laptop is Win XP, Desktop, Win 7. Both run Fire-Fox of same build AFAIK. (As Far As I Know)
