Anginamahloni ukukusho. Ngifuna ukuthenga iloli, ukuze nje ngithenge i-Billy Box. Isekelwe e-Austin Billy Amabhokisi isanda kutholakala endaweni yesigameko sombhede weloli okwenza wonke umuntu kusukela kubasiki betailga kuya kubazingeli baphendule amakhanda.
Kuze kube manje, amabhokisi amathuluzi e-chunky abe isisetshenziswa sakudala esifanayo, kancane 'meh', entula ikhono lawo lokuvikela impahla yakho, iba indawo ethe xaxa yokufihla udoti wakho, inikeze umkhaya wama-raccoon indawo yokukhosela, noma kokubili. Ku-Billy Boxes kanye nomsunguli u-Levi Smith, ukwenza ngendlela oyifisayo nokuhleleka kuyigama lomdlalo we-truck-haulin', onezici zedizayini ezibeka lawa mabhokisi amathuluzi ahluke kuzo zonke ezinye izinketho. Sibe nethuba lokubuza u-Levi imibuzo embalwa, sithole mayelana nomklamo kanye nokuthi yini ayigcina kweyakhe i-Billy Box.
Ngemuva Komklamo: Billy Boxes
Akukho ukubhola okudingekayo ukufaka laba bafana ababi. Zibophe emagumbini okulala ngesethi efakiwe yamahange e-J-bolt futhi usuqedile. Ukukhanyisa kwe-LED okungangenwa yisimo sezulu okusebenza kuphakethe lebhethri lamaseli angu-8 AA kufakwe ngaphansi kwesivalo esinamaphaneli ahlukanisayo, ama-t-track, amabhande e-cinch, i-tape measure ehlanganisiwe namapadi ensimbi engagqwali zonke izici ezijwayelekile. Ungenza ngendlela oyifisayo umbala nesikhala sangaphakathi ukuze sivumelane nomdlali wegalofu, umlutha wamathuluzi, umkhempisi, umzingeli, umdobi wokudoba, nanoma ubani onothando olwanele lokuphatha izinto zakhe ngendlela ehlelekile. I-cushioning ye-rubber ye-rubber efakiwe, amapulaki okukhipha amanzi kanye nokukhetha kwakho kwemibala yejazi eliyimpuphu engu-25-textured, kukunikeza isizathu esanele sokufuna leli bhokisi. Isistimu yomsindo ozikhethela yona iyisikhuthazo esengeziwe. Ukukufingqa, ukwakhiwa kuyi-aluminiyamu yebanga elingu-12 elinomthungo (0.080″) eqinisekisa ukuthi wonke amagiya akho ahlala ephephile ezintweni, kanye nendlela yokukhiya enelungelo lobunikazi yensimbi engenasici ivikela ukweba.
I-SS: Kwakunjani ukukhulela epulazini lezinkomo eCentral Texas?
Levi Smith: Ngangikuthanda ngaleso sikhathi futhi ngikwazisa nakakhulu manje ngolwazi oluba yivelakancane. Ngangizithanda izilwane, indawo yokuhlola, ukusebenza esitolo, ukushayela ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ukudubula nokudoba. Uhlu luyaqhubeka, kodwa lwakha ngempela futhi lwaqinisa ilukuluku lami lokuthi izinto zisebenza kanjani kanye nesifiso sami esingapheli sokufunda amakhono amasha.
I-SS: Yini ehlukile nge-Billy Box? Kungani kwenziwa ngokwezifiso?
Levi Smith: Amabhokisi amathuluzi namuhla awashintshile emashumini eminyaka. Wonke angamabhokisi amakhulu angenalutho anethreyi eshelelayo yepulasitiki efanayo. Ayadingeka, ngoba ukuba neloli kusho ukuthi kufanele uxazulule inkinga yokugcina evikelekile ehambisana nomklamo wemoto, kodwa amabhokisi amathuluzi namuhla avele aba amadrowa emfucumfucu angasebenziseki. Bonke babukeka befana. Zonke zisebenza ngokufanayo. Bonke abantula ukulondeka okuhle. Sifuna ukunikeza abantu ithuba lokuziveza ngokukhetha imibala bese benza ngendlela oyifisayo ukuthi ibhokisi labo lisebenza kanjani futhi lihlelekile ukuze bakwazi ukugcina okwengeziwe kwalokho abakudingayo kodwa bagcine konke kufinyeleleka. Yilelo phuzu lokuhleleka okuhle - gcina okuningi endaweni efanayo ngenkathi usenza kufinyeleleke kalula. Noma ngabe ungusonkontileka, ungowangaphandle, ufuyi noma uyafana, lokhu kwenza umehluko omkhulu endleleni owenza ngayo imisebenzi yakho nokusebenzisa iloli lakho. Besifuna nokuthuthukisa kakhulu ezokuphepha ngoba lawo ma-hasp latches ayahlekisa. Wonke amabhokisi amathuluzi namuhla anamaleshi okuvimbela ukweba, kodwa awavikelekile ngempela.

I-SS: Yayinjani inqubo ye-prototyping? Yini obungayenza ngokuhlukile?
Levi Smith: Njengokukhiqiza okusha, ngangazi ukuthi kuningi okufanele ngikufunde ngesikhathi esifushane. Ngimangele nokho ukuthi bekunzima kangakanani ukuthola onjiniyela nabakhi ababezimisele ukucabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ngikhiqize i-prototype kanye nemiklamo ye-2D emihle ngokwanele ukuthi igxume iqonde kumklamo we-3D futhi ngingene ekukhiqizeni esikhathini esingamaviki, hhayi izinyanga. Iningi labantu engikhulume nabo embonini yokuklama yezimboni kanye neyokwakha bacabange ukuthi sidinga ukuqala kabusha futhi sidlule kunqubo yabo evamile yokwenza i-prototyping.
