How Gaudi figured out the arches for the Sagrada Familia. It makes a nice floor jellyfish shadow too.
Nikon D7100 mounted on a Manfrotto dual arm flash holder, two SB600 speed lights mounted to shoot from sides, ISO200, f/32, 1/200 sec using mirror up mode; 5 shots processed in Aperture and Topaz Denoise then output as TIFF and stacked together using Zerene, then tweaked with Topaz Adjust. Not as sharp as I'd like but I just got this setup going today. Will get better with time.

Why is Cassino considered a Premium plant?
Premium means something “of superior value, out
of the ordinary”...like an Alfa Romeo. Cassino is a premium plant because its innovative technologies, advanced processes and highly-qualified people enable it to produce exceptional cars.
What is Quadrifoglio Avenue?
Quadrifoglio Avenue is the road running along the main façade of the plant, where a series of installations tell visitors what we do and how we do it. They show the care, quality, beauty, perfection and passion that we dedicate to our products, our people and the Environment.
Where did the name come from?
“Quadrifoglio” is Italian for “four-leaf clover”, the good luck symbol that driver Ugo Sivocci had painted on his Alfa Romeo RL before the 1923 Targa Florio race. He won and Alfa Romeo adopted the four-leaf clover as
its official racing insignia. The brand also began using the insignia to designate its top-of-the-line performance models. So, the name Quadrifoglio Avenue was chosen because the four-leaf clover is symbolic of Alfa Romeo and is also suggestive of nature and the environment.

Productie FCA Cassino erg lean mede dankzij Samsung
18 mei 2017
Cassino levert tegenwoordig perfectie met de productie van de Alfa Romeo Giulia en Stelvio en Samsung is daarbij een belangrijke partner. De optimalisatie van het productieproces vindt namelijk plaats met behulp van talloze technische snufjes van de Koreaanse fabrikant. Van de Smartwatch (Samsung Gear S3 Frontier) om de pols van werknemers (voor communicatie met de teamleiders) langs de assemblagelijn, tot tablets en (touchscreen) monitoren rondom de productie. Maar ook buiten de fabriek is Samsung techniek te vinden, in de vorm van zonnepanelen. Op deze wijze weet FCA een hoge kwaliteit en efficiëntie neer te zetten in deze moderne fabriek in de provincie Frosinone.
Deze productielocatie nabij een Benedictijnse abdij, zag het daglicht in 1972 en heeft tot nu toe meer dan 7,3 miljoen geproduceerde auto’s op z’n naam staan. Inmiddels is het terrein 2 miljoen vierkante meter groot, waarvan 530.000 overdekt. De fabriek is door de jaren heen meermalen gemoderniseerd en produceerde voornamelijk middensegment modellen van de Fiat-groep. Inmiddels telt het personeelsbestand 4300 koppen. Sinds de productiestart van de nieuwe Alfa Romeo’s is er een nieuw tijdperk ingeluid, schoolvoorbeeld voor de moderne Italiaanse auto-industrie.
…with orange plastic to give a warmer light than usual. This is how they look in daytime.
Uploaded because of a guess - but picture taken because I've been meaning to capture their daylight look since I realized that, no, their light is usually NOT that orange.
The cubes that arrived from Tap Plastics were pretty, but weren't the kind of precise entities I would've preferred. They very much look hand-buffed, and in that I mean they have very untrue edges and corners. Some faces are significantly larger than others, some corners are close enough to 90°, and others are anything but. In practice, they work out quite well, especially with their heavily rounded edges and corners, which forgive much of their inaccuracy.
Playing around with the cube this way got me thinking about how the magnet cube lends itself to a new take on the cube - with the labels on the reverse sides of the cube, as though sunken backwards straight through. In this way, the 3 hidden faces of a corner could be seen by looking down through that face's clear "windows." The colors themselves would define the divisions between the cubes, rather than their outer faces.
When I came up with the idea for a magnetic version of the Rubik's Cube (and long before learning such things already exist), I used some dial calipers on an official black Assembly Cube from the Rubik's site, which worked out to about exactly 0.75" per piece. I have no way presently to machine any kind of cube, so I scoured the web, looking up cubes of all types of wood and finishes, "learning cubes" of all varieties, and plastic cubes in types such as PVC, ABS, delrin, and others, finally settling on these 3/4" cast acrylic cubes from Tap Plastics.
In that I used calipers to determine the sizes of a real Rubik's Cube (white Assembly Cube with PVC stickers shown here), I was able to order pieces in clear acrylic that matched this specification, and as such, I will have a Rubik's sticker compatible magnetic cube when I'm done. I have a bunch of excess PVC stickers for other cubes, so I'm good to go.
I finally get to see two of the cube pieces stick together by magnetic force. Hooray.
If you've followed the link from any of the next 23 pics back to here (or wherever, really), these are two 3/4" acrylic cubes from Tap Plastics, each with a 3/16" diameter x 3/32" thick neodymium disc magnet counter sunk flush into it via drill press and some glue. These are tests, with cheap, uncoated Radio Shack magnets. The final result, 27 cubes arranged in a 3x3x3 grid will contain 108 nickel-plated magnets from K&J Magnetics, each 2x the thickness of these magnets, creating a size-matched magnetic version of the standard Rubik's Cube.
Overall cubic in nature, but not very exacting. Many of the faces are tiny or oversized, rhomic or trapezoidal in nature. The resultant magnetic cube suffers little from these inaccuracies, however, so all is forgiven.
To help me prove it was accurate, I pressed the bit down onto the cube, making a tiny dent mark, then turned the cube 90º and did it again. I made adjustments to the square position until the marks created a tiny X. Good enough for me - it's not like the cubes are all that accurate anyway. I almost feel that their inaccuracy freed me up from thinking too precisely while building, which helped speed me along.
If you view this at larger sizes, you might notice the piece of paper I slipped under the square to add a light layer of protection and grip between the press table and square - not to mention the acrylic cubes - has PI wrapping out to some n digits. It's from a page of the first 1M digits, and this is 1 of about 22 pages - I didn't print past the first page. I just wanted to see this much at this certain font setting. None of this relates to the project, it's just extraneous info for those into that sort of thing.
The jig I set up for drilling is sadly lacking, but worked well enough. That's an uber-high tolerance, CNC-milled, accurate-to-like-.001" square from Woodpeckers. They're stuff definitely don't stink. Check 'em out if you like precision. I quick clamped it to the press after carefully eyeballing the drill to direct center over one of the cubes.
I'm likely going to build a second cube, as I'd like one with labels, and one without. The clear cube with no labels is quite attractive in its own way. The labels are compatible with the cube I'm making, as I ordered cubes that match the size of standard Rubik's Cube pieces.
27 pieces - 3 layers of 9 - leaves 3 from the 3 sets of 10 I got from Tap Plastics. In the end, I tested out drilling, gluing, and drill stopping techniques on these 3 remaining cubes, and so left myself no margin of error on the 27 I ended up using.
The magnets that came in later from K&J Magnetics were nickel plated, shiny, and nice and smooth. This wasn't necessary, as I made certain they all remained slightly below the surface of their respective cubes. I found from this test that when the magnets stick together, they're far more difficult to shear apart than when even only a paper-thick region of space remains between them, an effect to be avoided, as it would otherwise be amplified 8x when spinning a full face worth of cube pieces.
The thing I was most curious about was whether axially polarized (N on one face, S on the reverse) disc magnets could freely spin when stuck together face to face. I emailed the folks at K&J Magnetics, from whom I ordered the magnets that in this photo haven't arrived yet, and they replied that yes, they could work like that (as hinges). Score.
The proof of the rig was when I drilled a hole, then turned the acrylic cube 90°, and the bit fit back in without hitting the edges. That's some good eyeballing.
To get an idea before the magnets arrived of how the faces would spin against one another, I rubber banded some layers together. They slide smoothly, like butter.
