JoshTheEngineer | 3D Printing: How To Level the Bed @JoshTheEngineer | Uploaded August 2016 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
In this video I go through how to level the bed of your MP Select Mini 3D printer. I'll show you how I do it from startup to finish. I'm new to the whole 3D printing thing, so if you have better methods of doing this, I'd love to hear them and learn something new.

We went through the derivations of the normal velocity geometric integral (Iij) and the tangential geometric integral (Jij). The Iij term is used in the expression to solve for the source panel strengths. The Jij term is used in the expression to solve for the velocity of the flow on each panel. In order to compute the flowfield around the airfoil (off the airfoil), we need to know the X and Y components of the velocity at arbitrary grid points (similar to a CFD solution).
In this video, we go through the derivation of the X and Y velocity geometric integrals (Mx(ij) and My(ij)). These will allow us to compute the flowfield pressure coefficients and the streamlines around the airfoil. Much of this derivation is exactly the same as the Iij derivation, so I will refer you to that video for those details.

![Explained: Linear Interpolation [Math]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cvc-XalN_kk/hqdefault.jpg "Explained: Linear Interpolation [Math]
In this video, I explain how to obtain the equation for linear interpolation between two points. I then go through a simple example.
Linear interpolation can be useful when you need data at points where data does not exist. This happens a lot when looking at tabulated data. Here are some examples of tabulated data where linear interpolation can come in handy:
- Steam/vapor tables in thermodynamics
- Property tables in heat transfer
- Normal shock tables and isentropic relations tables in gas dynamics
In the video linked to below, I show you how to program this equation into a graphing calculator (TI-83), so you can use it on exams or whenever you need a quick estimate.

The airfoil chord is a vital part of understanding the angle of attack of an airfoil, as well as other aerodynamic parameters in aircraft design. The definition of the chord line is straightforward, while the definition for the leading edge (LE)/trailing edge (TE) are a little more ambiguous.
Second of All Comment
The first of all comment (that I made in the video) was that the angle of attack actually changes based off of where you define the leading edge to be. The comment I forget to say in the video is that the chord length also changes based on the LE location. For the minimum x value LE, the chord line is longer than the minimum radius of curvature LE.")
