Ifyou are working with a hinge, assess the aspects of differentiation of self. Identify which skills they are struggling with, and help them grow in those areas. Signs of insufficient differentiation in hinges include:
If you are working with a hinge who is struggling, you have an opportunity to make a big difference in the relationship system. Depending on how the hinge handles things, they can bring a lot of stability to the system, or they can end up sowing tons of chaos. Provide your clients with psychoeducation about why differentiation is essential to successful polyamory. For more on building differentiation of self, check out these past posts:
Ive always drawn my hinge markers as per the example on the left, i was told today that a while back the standards had changed, and now the 'proper' way to draw them is the way on the right, but i couldnt find any info on this online.
For door elevations on the door schedule I always draw the door as if it is opening towards you, I'm not sure if that is a convention or not. A "Left hung" door is a door with the hinges on the left hand side when the door is opening towards you. Right hung the opposite.
Same situation here! I had always done it as method #1. I am U.S. based but was trained and worked with mostly European architects. However, upon starting a new job, I am just learning of convention #2.
Different countries having the opposite convention, in a world where it's increasingly common to have things supplied from or manufactured abroad, means that it's become a slightly useless notation that actually causes more problems than it avoids .... the world needs to come up with a new and different way to show hinge position that everyone can agree with, and get rid of this one.
Today, I noticed that there is a small gap between the display panel and the back case. When I contacted dell support via twitter and after sending lots of pictures from different angles, they informed that the gap is not covered under the warranty as it caused due to wear and tear. There is no physical damage anywhere on the laptop and I have been handling this device with care.
While doing a quick search on this forum for Inspiron 15 7579, I could find many users with the exact same issue of hinge/display panel separation. Yet, dell chooses to ignore this as "wear and tear" by the user.. I was advised to contact out of warranty support, but I know they will be charging a hefty amount to replace the display of a 3-year laptop.
I wonder how many laptops display gets separated due to wear and tear as this has not happened for 3 laptops I have used in past. This particular model is very fragile with ultra-slim design and 340-degree rotation which is not there many mid-range laptops especially on a heavy 15.6" form factor. Even though this was marked as a 2-in-1 tablet/laptop hybrid, no one can use it as a tablet due to the huge size and super heavy. The 2-in1 form factor just made this laptop more fragile.
I have to mention that you need some TOOLS at home and the procedure is several levels above other simple replacements (e.g. replace Battery). Also, you need to guard the original screws (the three screws that fall out of your laptop because of the broken connection). They don't come with the replacement part.
I opened it up after checking below youtube video. Earlier I couldn't comprehend why everyone was calling this a "hinge" issue when the display panel was separating. But I can understand it now after seeing this.
The plastic screw holes are all broken and all screws missing. The problem is down to low quality plastic holes taking a lot of pressure from opening/closing and 350-degree rotation of the lid. Also, the hinges are super tight requiring a lot of pressure to make it swing. If the screw holes were made out of metal or a stronger fiber, it might have held up better.
Dell should at least acknowledge this issue given how many users are having this issue and dell charging almost half price of the entire device to fix it. If you check the comments on below youtube videos, you can understand how widespread this issue is.
Maybe all laptops come with this cheap plastic screw hole design. The problem with Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 is that the hinge is super tight and it swings 350-degree putting a lot of pressure on the plastic screw holders causing it to break.
This is clearly a design flaw and a quick google search revealed that hundreds of users are affected by this. Yet Dell is not acknowledging or honouring their warranty. On the other hand, some manufacturers acknowledge their product defects(butterfly keyboard) and offer free replacement even without warranty.
I had the same problem and hardly opened and closed it very often since I use it as a desktop replacement when I move between NY and FL in the spring and fall. They refused to cover it and it cost me over $150 including the expedited shipping/repair. Shame on Dell since this is a common defect.
I have the exact same problem. Despite purchasing the premium extended warranty and clearly this is an internal failure. It looks like I will need to get an independent engineers report then pursue the matter in the small claims court.
This is not cheap engineering. Is it bad, on purpose engineering. Dell evolved, is not just a brand for cheap Chinese products. Now they has very old and imbecile project managers for this kind of complicated design. Those hinges is to complicated to be cheap. They invest a lot in this, only for making a protocol for denied warranty.
This nuts, is the secret. On every opening, become more tight. Is technically incorrect to mount a single nut, without a contra-nut. Dell invent this easy way for the hinge to become harder. In time, hinge become harder and harder till tear out the screws from the aluminium cover. To be sure, about this, Dell use plastic inside the aluminium.
We are experimenting with the usage of Flexible Parts in house recently, and trying to build a use case for utilizing this functionality instead of creating an assembly or many instances to essentially call out the same part in various positions (specifically a door hinge in this use case).
First off, I've tried utilizing a crude sketch to help control the position of the legs on the hinge as simply as possible. I left one leg essentially fixed and locked to a datum, then have the other one rotating off center from that one. Easy enough. I then modeled simply, and set the part to be flexible. Again, simple.
I have modeled this part in to both Creo 3.0 and 4.0, and essentially get the same result once i model this into an assembly. We like to set up some of our assemblies with mechanism's to test for clearances and such, so in a crude example, I modeled two place that will pivot using this "flexible" hinge. I modeled in the first place as fixed, and the second on a pin, then modeled in the hinge with its angle set to be the angle between the two plates. Now as i start to drag the moving part around, the hinge acts as expected as shown below in various positions.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have tried modeling this in many different ways and the result is always the same, even when I start to insert a large and detailed datum structure. Is there anything I can do to model this differently to prevent this from happening? Or does this appear to be a bug in both versions of Creo?
Additionally, is there a way to set limits on the flexible hinge model to prevent it from opening or closing too far? Reason I ask is that I plan to make a Gas Shock next, and would like it to only be able to work for certain limits. Same would apply for this hinge where it can go past the flat by a little, but eventually it will/can move to an impossible position.
Mike is right. You will forever be fighting sketcher. It doesn't allow 0 degrees and it will flip over at random values. You should build the moveable portion of the hinge with a coordinate system and rotate that instead. Just define the csys angle as your flexible dimension.
It's something in your Sketch feature. The angle can be modified up to 118.5 degrees before the behavior you described occurs. Think it might be something to do with the tangency of the line to the circle. It's just a guess - I've been using Flexible components for a long time and can't say that I've run into this problem before. Perhaps tying the straight line to a sketch point that moves along the circle, or maybe a second centerline that controls the angle?
I would create two sketches. One for one leaf with the circle and an axis point. The second with an embedded datum plane through the axis at an angle to the default datums and used as a horizontal reference, so the second leaf is horizontal and parallel to the datum plane. This limits the potential for alternative solutions because the second leaf doesn't move within its sketch.
With Pro/Program you could have a datum curve feature with warning text be resumed when the item is used out-of-limits. You could try relations that override dimensional changes but it can leave users mystified when the changes they ask for fail to happen.
By the hip hinge pattern, what do I mean? I mean the ability to hinge at the hips, to bend from the hips, while maintaining a neutral spine. Different than a squat where a squat we have a knee bend and hip bend. Hip hinge just focuses on the hip joint itself. Why is that important? Every time you do a deadlift, a kettlebell swing, an Olympic lift, exercises such as that, you go through that hip hinge pattern. And mastering this movement is crucial for glute development.
One of the hinges on one of the antenna "wings" on my RAX120 appears to have pulled out of the wing itself. Not sure how it attaches in there. In the first photo, you can see where the rectangular opening is at the bottom of the wing where the top of that hinge normally extends into. The second photo shows the hinge extended and the top part that is supposed to be up inside the wing.
