- When doing press fits, calibrating the machine and material is critical for proper tolerancing.
- Try to avoid lots of tolerance stackup in design.
- When something fails, be calm. Drive to the root cause of failure instead of trying to implement band-aid fixes.
- Make sure CAD assembilies are fully defined to avoid iterference in the physical build.
- Plan for issues/delays in the build.
- Try to have fun when building. It's less stressful that way.
