VR NDT can now be done in you home! If you have a Quest 2, 3, or 3s, you can go to
https://abetterinspectorvr.com/
Register, get a 12 digit code, download the app, paste the code, and have fun!
Its on a server- so you can start your own private server or join another's. You may meet someone hours away from you. Goal is for a user to pick their own mentor and ask the silly questions one may not ask in class. Play, learn, grow.
I ordered JST GH 1.25mm with no luck.
Micro JST SH 1.0mm and not it either.
Seems like its a 1.25mm but tired of ordering the wrong things for it.
Now ordering "JST Molex PicoBlade 1.25 for Pixhawk" connector kit. Just got a thing im trying to make in batches and don't want to keep soldering connections.

Did this demo in my yard for the fun of it. Neat, but will grow.
3D printed low cost PMI demo for our STEM and outreach events.
Equipment costs thousands and we don't get paid. This sell the same effect without radiation. Kid friendly, and cheap.
I programmed the board/screen, and give it to my 12 year old son. He knows a lot about NDT and even more about legos, and wasn't difficult for him to know what to do here.
This was about geometric unsharpness. As the lego guy gets further away from the screen, the xray gets bigger and more out of focus.
Anyone got a VR headset handy and want to try out VR NDT, let me know. Videos of it have been posted here, and im trying a new way of demoing outside of the Meta store.
Works on Quest 2, 3 and 3S that I know of.
Sharing a project that I've made for when we go to schools and outreach events. As a small group of advocates who don't get paid for it- sometimes getting equipment is a pain.
Here, we can show how compression waves read wall loss. Laser is just a visual aid and not reading the distance. I have other samples that from the front they all look the same- but as you scan them you can see corrosion/Erosion, and lamination.
Some cheap electronics and about 1kg of filament.
Add some increments at the top and they could sketch the corrosion...
My son is making more stop motions and so far, he has 50 subscribers and its really fueling him to do more. If you can give it a watch, that would be great! Commenting would be great because he's trying to "stay active" with others. Hes a great kid, and loves watching Corridor Crew with me. A simple view will make him happy!
Thanks for the support that group has already provided.
He's 12, and can use some encouragement! Trying more creative things for summer than TV and Roblox.
Last video was the wrong video, my bad. Here is the demo.
Multiple IQIs, collimators, welds, lead numbers, Film speeds etc. Demo will be Sec 5 driven with different situations and limited equipment. Calculate the Barricade, shot time, STFD/UG. Any one can fail with one wrong piece picked up.
Here you can see a plate weld and pipe weld, A and B wire, film flexes, lead numbers, and there are 3 different collimators with different HVLs.
On the backend- 3 scenarios are baked in. 2" Contact, 2" Superimposed, then a plate shot. You will have to calculate shots times, barricades (not just make a big barricade) and UG, everything. I've already made a darkroom with chemicals to process film (older demo) but for every shot- a bunch can go wrong.
This will be a full Sec 5 demo with more than 3 situations. Pretty neat- just new boot goofing.
3D printed in ASA to last in Texas heat. Hidden couplant dispenser, and built for the Artio UT meter. Artio is the smallest I've seen and streams everything to your phone- keeping the device pretty small. 2.8lbs but can lift 5x it's weight. Pretty neat- my favorite part is knocking the back wheel off and driving like a hover board.
Working time is about 2-3 hours before you need to recharge.
No safety ratings just did it because it was a challenge.
A/B scan compatible.
Off to the next project...
