We have a Whirlpool WDT750SAHZ that's been nothing but trouble ever since we bough it. A failed pump just after the warranty expired, the horrible spray arm design that gets blocked by debris, stops spinning, and causes leaks if it stopped in a particular position (#1 complaint with them). Now it leaks around both door corners like a sieve (unrelated to arm location). I am done fixing it, I want a new one.

What is a good 24" dishwasher in $700 range? I am a little hesitant to get a German or Korean brand because of horrible CS and expensive parts, but I'd really consider anything.

I did try to find an answer but am probably missing something basic.

I padded a sketch. I split the solid in the middle. I can see the split line. I want to move one half so I could insert a section in between. However, it still behaves as one solid. What am I missing?

(Well, *the* biggest thing… forgot to edit the full title after I changed the end of it lol).

This is likely not a revelation to anyone familiar enough with FreeCad, just my personal note.

As someone who just got into 3D design for personal projects a few months ago and have been getting along with Fusion pretty well, I found FreeCad to be pretty frustrating. I did try watching Mango Jelly’s tutorials, but it’s a project in itself.

The hardest thing to replace from Fusion was auto snapping to solids when sketching. If I have a solid cube and start drawing a sketch on a face of that cube, Fusion would automatically snap to the corner or midpoint of an edge. Drove me nuts that FreeCad wouldn’t do that.

So what I needed to learn was the External Geometry tool. Instead of snapping directly to the corner of a solid body formed by two edges, you use that tool to create a 2D line in your sketch, by picking one of the edges. You can then use that line as a reference.

This tool really ought to be a lot more heavily promoted to users more familiar with other 3D software.

I ran into some behavior with Fillets that I can’t explain. Curious if that’s something that I am doing wrong, or a bug.

I’m at work so cant take a screenshot, but it’s easy enough to explain.

I drew a 2.2 mm tall by 60 mm wide rectangle and padded it to 138mm. So I get a long, wide, 2.2mm thick cube.

Now, looking at the front of that cube (facing the 60 mm wide face) I apply a 1mm fillet to the top and bottom edges adjacent to the right face, middle face (the one I am looking at) and the left face.

The fillets work just great on the right and middle faces. But on the left, which is exactly the same as the right, it will create one 1mm fillet (bottom) but it won’t let me create the 2nd one (top) unless I reduce the fillet size to .9mm. It seems to think that it’s running out of space on the left even though it didn’t on the right.

Is Wealthfront a good place to park emergency cash (no investing, just for HYSA)?

I know they are "FDIC Insured" but I have a hard time figuring out how this works when you give funds to a fintech and they give it to banks. Who is the insured party, and what happens in case of Wealthfront's theoretical bankruptcy?

Also, how easy / quick are transfers in / out?

TIA!
