    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:37 AM - thesnomonster: lol...
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:37 AM - Mike Glass: First time I left it alone too..
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:37 AM - Mike Glass: but atleast I could stop the air printing
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:37 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah the monitor that ziggy made is for running out of filament. Not sure if it can detect a jam
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:38 AM - Mike Glass: nope, but there is one out there a guy made that senses filament movement.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:38 AM - Mike Kelly: it can't
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:39 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that only works with makerbot/flashforge
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah it's like $60 I think
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:39 AM - Mike Glass: This one he has the schematics if you want to build your own
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:39 AM - Mike Glass: over my tech skills im sure.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:40 AM - Mike Glass: In two years you can run to walmart and pick up a filement monitor 200 for cheap..lol
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:40 AM - jbigler1986: LOL
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i have a ~14" wide window in my office and i want to make something to put a plant on
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm kinda thinking just shelf brackets but it'd be cool to make something 3d printed
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:46 AM - Mike Glass: And I thought you wanted to work with wood..lol
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i do
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:47 AM - Mike Kelly: i can't quite pick a direction
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:49 AM - Mike Glass: anybody try this? http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2015/03/10/makerbot-desktop-3-6-better-remote-monitoring-easier-setup/
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:51 AM - Mike Kelly: doesn't that only work with gen 5
    Mar 24, 2015 at 6:54 AM - Mike Glass: probably
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:04 AM - Mike Kelly: god i've been staring at this section all day and cannot figure out a good way to design it
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:04 AM - Mike Kelly: too many criss crossing pipes
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:15 AM - jbigler1986: MK did I show you the tool holder?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:16 AM - Mike Kelly:
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:16 AM - Mike Kelly: e
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:16 AM - Mike Kelly: nope*
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: aghhh everything is being soooo slowwwwww
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: integra is the worst internet
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: can't even listen to music
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/DoC5G3c
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:42 AM - jbigler1986: Tool holder
    Mar 24, 2015 at 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: You or MG should post it on thingiverse
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Mike Glass: somebody help!
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Glass: apparently my hex failed today, its clogged like a mother. any suggestions? Its not the heat break or nozzle.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Ben R: hmm
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Ben R: heat soak?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Ben R: creep as some say?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:20 AM - Ben R: I have put a drill bit through the entire hex heat sink through the heat break. think it was a 1.86 or some strange size
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Ben R: plausible that some shreddings/foreign object, broken filament has you jammed
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Mike Glass: is it all metal inside the heatsink
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Mike Glass: can I just heat it up
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Ben R: thats usually the case.. but can you get the junk out gooey?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Ben R: If you have a good assortment of drill bits, probably so.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Mike Glass: you dont think I can heat it up enough
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Ben R: oh hell .. sure you can
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - jbigler1986: Usually you can heat it up and push filament through
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Ben R: It can take heat
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Ben R: but if you say its clogged above the heat break...
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Mike Glass: Yes
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Ben R: that's a bigger tube. you might have trouble cleaning it out
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Ben R: PLA or ABS?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Mike Glass: pla
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Ben R: pla tends to just run out like melted crayon
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Ben R: but it can also burn to a crisp easily.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Ben R: like I said... I made a mess of my hotend once. Heated it up... most everything came out. cleaned it up with drill bits.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Ben R: you know you can take out the brass end on the hex heat sink right?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Mike Glass: oK will try, thanks
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Mike Glass: on the top?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: technically you are supposed to be able to take out the heat break too
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: yea on the top
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: it reveals like a 3mm hole
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Mike Glass: yep that was loose
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: so might even see if you have a clog.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: I forced a piece of broken filament in there when I was brand new
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Ben R: thought I could force it through, but it just ran beside and jammed hard
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Ben R: three stooges effect
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - jbigler1986: Do you have a guitar wire
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Ben R: he says its not the heatbreak or nozzle
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Mike Glass: its only clogged on the last 1/4 inch or so.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Ben R: hmm.. strange
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Ben R: was your fan running?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: almost 1/2 inch of total blockage
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Ben R: your extruder fan
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: yep fan was working when I came home
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Ben R: hot end that is
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Ben R: heat break fan.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Ben R: if that stops... it can melt the plastic too far up... gets all wobbly and jams up
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Mike Glass: think it needed to be seasoned maybe
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Ben R: yea.. that's not a HUGE deal.. I mean, if your nozzle clogged I suppose and you had WAY too good a hobbed bolt
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Mike Glass: been printing 36 hours non-stop
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: I think it stopped
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Mike Glass: not just one thing, but little time in between
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: anyway.. I'd heat it up with some propane/butane... gently.. with the brass hole thing out. let any PLA flow out
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Ben R: then clean out with your appropriate sized tool du jour
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: wonder if that lower brass fitting will come out, The screw practically fell out
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Ben R: lower brass?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: yep that holds it in on the bottom
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Ben R: I'm talking about where the filament feeds into the heat break
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Ben R: hmm.. The heat break.. tiny tiny hex in the side?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: let me show you
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: if you can get the heat break off.. well.. it'd be a first for me.. but would likely make cleaning out the heat sink easier
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: tightening it back up... I dunno
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Ben R: cleeaning it up is the easy part.. finding out what caused it to fail is the fun part
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/76kNMJ0
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Mike Glass: see that hex it holds that brass tube collar
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Mike Glass: hex screw
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:35 AM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:37 AM - BryZad: hey anyone know a easy way yo make pins to hold large print together after printing ?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:37 AM - jbigler1986: I don't thing the heat break on the hex is supposed to come out
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Ben R: its stainless. I've been told that the heat break comes out. and that the tiny hex they give you is for that

    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Ben R: I can't make it work
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:39 AM - Ben R: rumor as far as I'm concerned
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Mike Glass: well Got the clog out, heating up and putting a hex wrench through it worked, now wonder if there is something I need to clean it all out.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:40 AM - BryZad: or should I just make pin cylinders that are hallow and use like a wood dowl
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Ben R: like I said.. drill bit
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Ben R: print round things.. w/e. I haven't seen too much of that, since, like.. just glue it or spin weld
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Mike Glass: it dont want to mar up the inside though
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Ben R: use a drill bit that is smaller than the opening :_
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Ben R: and don't worry too much,.. the filament shouldn't be touching the inside
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Ben R: inside of the heat sink anyway
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Ben R: its like 3-4mm
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Ben R: it just touches the heat break and nozzle
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Ben R: and the entry hole
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Ben R: but you shouldn't make noticable marks just spinning a drill bit in and pulling out junk
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Ben R: just got to pull any lumps out.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Ben R: does anything dissolve PLA easily? MEK I think does a bit.. but I can't remember hearing anything that dissolves it to liquid.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Mike Glass: gas?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Ben R: It will destroy it .. but I don't think it will actually enter solution
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: Its alcohol based
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: it wont stand up to much, but it wont actually dissolve either
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: it will eventually rot... microbes?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Ben R: here you go ... PLA solvent recipe
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Ben R: technical propan-2-ol (98%) but you can also use pure propan-2-ol, 8.3% Potassium hydroxide (w/w) and a small catalytical amout (<1%) of Aluminium hydroxide.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Mike Glass: yea just saw that..lol
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:47 AM - Ben R: clean it best you can... If it doesn't come out great... try some other hotends. the PTFE tubed ones will print ABS.. and the plastic ones will print PLA all day and shine
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Ben R: I've messed with some cheap hot ends from china. They all printed beautifully.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Ben R: I've destroyed them in stress tests or accidentally through modding. but for 10-20 bucks a pop.. if you're printing in only pla and ABS... you're wasting money on all metal
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Ben R: I have come to hate ABS and PLA doesn't do for me but for kids toys
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Mike Glass: I print PETT though
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:49 AM - jbigler1986: http://bukobot.com/nozzle-cleaning
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Ben R: .. isn't that cold PET... like 220?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:50 AM - Mike Glass: you can go down that low, but 250 is best
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:50 AM - Mike Glass: and the nylon is around 255
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:50 AM - Ben R: oh yea... like biggler says.. you can just try to pull some .065" string trimmer line through there
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:51 AM - Ben R: heat it up to like 120.. the nylon should get bendy, but not so bad that it won't go through. Course its not so frictional that it will clean great.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:51 AM - Ben R: I thought I printed hot.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Ben R: I do nylon around 230-250.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Ben R: depending on if it's got any dye in it
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Mike Glass: I have some taulman nylon
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Ben R: yea.. that's just clean string trimmer line
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Ben R: well.. maybe clean. I've never had a problem with my string trimmer line. I have had problems with taulman showing up soaking soaking wet.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: THis is bridge it super flexible
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Ben R: but they print identically when dried
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Ben R: oh
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Ben R: I haven't tried that
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: Me either..lol just got it last week
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Ben R: I have to push the eSun PETG on anyone that will listen. Its awesome and cheap
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Ben R: red melts much lower.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Ben R: clear at 250, red at 240
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Ben R: blue oddly seems to do either without issue
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Ben R: oh well... I guess i missed that boat.. all sold out
    Mar 24, 2015 at 9:58 AM - Mike Glass: wonder if I could season with olive oil, I dont have any other
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Ben R: shouldn't matter
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Ben R: also, if it's truly seasoning, eventually it will clog as well
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Ben R: I don't know as I necessarily believe in it. I've only had consistent clogs with certain rolls, not materials .. actually just one certain roll.. and its ABS.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Mike Glass: this is the first and I have had it for 3 months now.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Ben R: It certainly doesn't seem to hurt
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Mike Glass: about 300 hours on the machine
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Ben R: mid term anyway
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Ben R: but why did you get a clog above the heat break?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Ben R: ever print PC? Was thinking about buying some.... but.. what would it be like in an FDM
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Mike Glass: PC?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:10 AM - Ben R: polycarb
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:10 AM - Ben R: I saw it for sale.. I can't imagine its a great filament. super fragile and in layers... dunno
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:12 AM - Mike Glass: hmm, nope
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:13 AM - Mike Glass: maybe you could print bullet-proof toys..hmm
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:14 AM - Ben R: thats the thing. with current FDM, I don't think it would come out strong. and I hear it makes microfibres when printing.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Ben R: viscoelastic.. strings tiny little strings
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Ben R: like asbestos.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Ben R: I also would like to get my hands on some of these filaments with inclusions like CF.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Ben R: and that "lay brick" which i assume is just PLA with talc in it
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: thought it was sand
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Ben R: would have to be very small
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Ben R: silica powder
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Ben R: turns out its just chalk
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Mike Glass: interesting
    Mar 24, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Mike Glass: Ok looks like we are back up and running.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: http://vaughnlive.tv/jbigler1986
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: 3 hours left
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Mike Glass: hasnt fell off yet?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:18 AM - jbigler1986: Nope. Lol
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: I cant see the vid
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: Hold on
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: There
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Glass: holy crap
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: how much filament is that using up?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: A lot. Lol. About half a spool or a little more. Had to get another orange spool and switch it so it wouldn't run out. Might have been able to finish it without changing it but I didn't want to chance it
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: how did you pause it?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - jbigler1986: Lcd screen
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:34 AM - jbigler1986: Has a pause option
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: if you pause doesnt it just sit on the part?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:36 AM - jbigler1986: Raised it with repetier
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:37 AM - jbigler1986: As long as you only go up and down with z when you restart it starts from the same spot
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:37 AM - jbigler1986: Haven't figured out if I can actually control with lcd
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: oh ok, ive kinda tested that once, I actually moved the x and it worked
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:41 AM - jbigler1986: This part is huge
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:42 AM - Mike Glass: um yea
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: what nozzle and res are you using
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:43 AM - jbigler1986: Actually surprised it hasn't failed

    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:44 AM - jbigler1986: .8 and 4 layer height with 50 percent infill
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: your sound is on also..
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: why 50
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: aww my ears feel better
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:46 AM - jbigler1986: lol. how do disable audio
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: ok now I just hear your laptop sound..lol
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:47 AM - Mike Glass: I just mute it in the sound settings
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: better?
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:49 AM - Mike Glass: yup
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:49 AM - Mike Glass: you must of picked low res though
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:59 AM - jbigler1986: I guess. Oh well
    Mar 24, 2015 at 11:59 AM - jbigler1986: Don't feel like messing with it right now
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:03 PM - jbigler1986: Went back to ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:04 PM - insomniac_lemon: So did Hatchbox go out of business? All their stuff on Amazon is sold through "Fire sale merchant"
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:05 PM - insomniac_lemon: If so, that's sad because their stuff is really nice :(
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:05 PM - insomniac_lemon: I just found a double spool holder I think I'm going to use
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:06 PM - insomniac_lemon: Since metal has less friction I don't think it'd be an issue like with plastic/wood
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:06 PM - Mike Glass: I love there stuff.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:06 PM - jbigler1986: I just ordered filament from them
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:07 PM - insomniac_lemon: I'm thinking I might use my hex to make a prusa, too. I hear the new model is bigger and only costs $300.... having a hotend and some steppers will probably lower that price
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: damn blob just came of my heatbreak.. it loose as a goose..ugg
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OO...r=8-26&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=E3d+v6
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:14 PM - insomniac_lemon: Man, the 3D print news has been BLAZING lately
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: Cheap
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:16 PM - insomniac_lemon: continuous SLA, new high-strength taulman formula, new/cheaper printers, etc.
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:17 PM - Mike Glass: j heads suck
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:17 PM - Mike Glass: You need all metal to use nylon and pett
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:17 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00T2...r=8-27&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=E3d+v6
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:17 PM - jbigler1986: There
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:20 PM - insomniac_lemon: This was what I was talking about, the Mega Prusa i3, almost 16 inches on every dimension for $320: http://3dprint.com/50680/enormous-prusa-3d-printer/
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:20 PM - insomniac_lemon: That is if you make it yourself
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:21 PM - jbigler1986: I wonder if these cheap ones are any good. Just curious
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:21 PM - insomniac_lemon: I'm guessing you gotta 3D print some of the parts yourself
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:38 PM - insomniac_lemon: Wow, 99.9% metal prints by firing them later
    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:41 PM - insomniac_lemon: http://www.3ders.org/articles/20150...tal-filament-can-now-contain-up-to-metal.html
    Mar 24, 2015 at 8:53 PM - jbigler1986: good morning

    Mar 24, 2015 9:21 PM - Bill Monroe: jb
    Mar 24, 2015 9:26 PM - jbigler1986: hello. only 2 parts left for the vending machine
    Mar 24, 2015 9:32 PM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
    Mar 24, 2015 9:45 PM - jbigler1986: Printing anything?
    Mar 24, 2015 9:47 PM - Bill Monroe: not at the moment, Did a logo for my son's office yesterday
    Mar 24, 2015 9:48 PM - Bill Monroe: logo plaque I guess
    Mar 24, 2015 9:50 PM - jbigler1986: Nice. Do you have dual extruder?
    Mar 24, 2015 9:50 PM - Bill Monroe: yes
    Mar 24, 2015 9:51 PM - Bill Monroe: actually, I do have some tooling being printed on the Statrasys.. so I guess yes, I am printing something.. but the robo is idle
    Mar 24, 2015 9:57 PM - jbigler1986: Nice.
    Mar 24, 2015 10:00 PM - Bill Monroe: the Strat is cheating though... polycarbonate, absolutely no effort, always perfect prints.. always.
    Mar 24, 2015 10:03 PM - jbigler1986: Aren't those business grade printers? Or do they have a consumer model too
    Mar 24, 2015 10:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: Stratasys bought makerbot
    Mar 24, 2015 10:07 PM - jbigler1986: Did not know that
    Mar 24, 2015 10:13 PM - jbigler1986: Question for you
    Mar 24, 2015 10:13 PM - Bill Monroe: mine is a Fortus 380C and ya, it's a business model
    Mar 24, 2015 10:16 PM - jbigler1986: I ran this part through netfabb but it still printed holes on all 4 corners on where the color and the actual jar part start. How do I fix that http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/4d/f0/e9/54/85/VEND-Jar_preview_featured.jpg
    Mar 24, 2015 10:17 PM - Bill Monroe: got a link to the stl?
    Mar 24, 2015 10:20 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/download:124361
    Mar 24, 2015 10:21 PM - Bill Monroe: hang on..
    Mar 24, 2015 10:22 PM - Stephen Capistron: my guessis that the overhang is just a bit much in those corners
    Mar 24, 2015 10:24 PM - jbigler1986: It's just to thin there and made holes in all 4 corners
    Mar 24, 2015 10:25 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, it looks OK both in solidworks and S3D
    Mar 24, 2015 10:26 PM - jbigler1986: It's like it needs and extra wall there or something. I'm not good with modeling
    Mar 24, 2015 10:29 PM - jbigler1986: I showed red in those corners in netfabb. IDK how to fix it.
    Mar 24, 2015 10:30 PM - Bill Monroe: still looking at the model
    Mar 24, 2015 10:36 PM - Stephen Capistron: i see the holes in netfabb and FreeCAD
    Mar 24, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ixh4tpob7copb22/Vend Jar - Bill.SLDPRT?dl=0
    Mar 24, 2015 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: try that one
    Mar 24, 2015 10:37 PM - jbigler1986: Will do. Thanks
    Mar 24, 2015 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: oh wait..
    Mar 24, 2015 10:38 PM - Bill Monroe: dang.. cant get it to save
    Mar 24, 2015 10:38 PM - Bill Monroe: lemme try 2015
    Mar 24, 2015 10:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: Where'd you get the SW file of it?
    Mar 24, 2015 10:42 PM - Bill Monroe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v5njcunqjtdxh33/Vend Jar - Bill.stl?dl=0
    Mar 24, 2015 10:49 PM - jbigler1986: Had to stop my print. Looked like it quit extruding. Time to run home real fast
    Mar 24, 2015 10:53 PM - Bill Monroe: Nice! my housekeeper made meatloaf :)
    Mar 24, 2015 10:53 PM - jbigler1986: Yum
    Mar 24, 2015 10:53 PM - Bill Monroe: no kidding
    Mar 24, 2015 10:54 PM - Bill Monroe: she makes awesome meatloaf
    Mar 24, 2015 10:54 PM - jbigler1986: I love meatloaf
    Mar 24, 2015 10:54 PM - Bill Monroe: who doesnt? it's God's food
    Mar 24, 2015 10:54 PM - Bill Monroe: i like the way she makes bacon gravy for the potatoes
    Mar 24, 2015 10:56 PM - jbigler1986: o_O
    Mar 24, 2015 10:57 PM - Bill Monroe: I'd marry that girl if she wasnt the same age as my daughter
    Mar 24, 2015 11:00 PM - jbigler1986: Bacon gravy. Hmmm
    Mar 24, 2015 11:03 PM - Bill Monroe: holy light speed.. I ordered parts from Cessna 40 mins ago and they just sent an email that it's shipped
    Mar 24, 2015 11:03 PM - Bill Monroe: i love those guys
    Mar 24, 2015 11:04 PM - jbigler1986: Lot's of times that just means the label has been printed
    Mar 24, 2015 11:05 PM - Bill Monroe: naw.. these guys are amazing
    Mar 24, 2015 11:05 PM - Bill Monroe: i buy from them all the time
    Mar 24, 2015 11:06 PM - jbigler1986: Must have lots of USP/FedEx pickups then. Unless they drop them off
    Mar 24, 2015 11:07 PM - Bill Monroe: probably, they sell parts for their planes worldwide
    Mar 24, 2015 11:07 PM - Bill Monroe: it amazes me they have everything is stock
    Mar 24, 2015 11:08 PM - jbigler1986: I wonder how big their warehouse is
    Mar 24, 2015 11:08 PM - Bill Monroe: hmmm time for some google earth
    Mar 24, 2015 11:09 PM - Bill Monroe: I know they have more than one stocking location
    Mar 24, 2015 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: Huge companies usually do. Cheaper that way and faster
    Mar 24, 2015 11:16 PM - jbigler1986: Can someone model a nut and bolt that will work for this http://www.thingiverse.com/download:124374
    Mar 24, 2015 11:17 PM - Mike Kelly: morning
    Mar 24, 2015 11:19 PM - jbigler1986: morning
    Mar 24, 2015 11:20 PM - jbigler1986: Part finished without issue last night
    Mar 24, 2015 11:20 PM - Mike Kelly: sweet
    Mar 24, 2015 11:50 PM - Mike Glass: morning
    Mar 24, 2015 11:50 PM - thesnomonster: exporting from sketchup to stl any ideas?
    Mar 24, 2015 11:51 PM - Mike Kelly: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/sketchup-stl ?
    Mar 24, 2015 11:52 PM - thesnomonster: ^^^^ best person ever ^^^^
    Mar 24, 2015 11:53 PM - Mike Kelly: first hit on google :)
    Mar 24, 2015 11:53 PM - Mike Glass: <.>,<.>
    Mar 24, 2015 11:53 PM - jbigler1986: what did we do before google
    Mar 24, 2015 11:53 PM - Mike Glass: G<><>Gle is your friend
    Mar 24, 2015 11:54 PM - Mike Kelly: go through pages upon pages of bad hits and hope you didn't click one that gave you a virus
    Mar 24, 2015 11:54 PM - Mike Kelly: before that? the library
    Mar 24, 2015 11:54 PM - Mike Glass: Oh like facebook.
    Mar 24, 2015 11:56 PM - Mike Glass: Hey JB, did you know the guy hasn't finished printing his prototype for the VEND machine, I hope it works.
    Mar 24, 2015 11:57 PM - Mike Kelly: robo3d printed one
    Mar 24, 2015 11:57 PM - jbigler1986: Coin mechanism works. Everything fits good so far. Just printing the back hatch. Lots of others have printed it as well. I just don't think he has edited the page
    Mar 24, 2015 11:58 PM - jbigler1986: Oh and I need to reprint the jar that Bill edited. It had holes in 4 corners
    Mar 24, 2015 11:59 PM - jbigler1986: The jar works fine it jas has about a half inch hole in each corner
    Mar 25, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Glass: thats odd, wonder why it has holes.
    Mar 25, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Glass: I should print that with the tglase I got.
    Mar 25, 2015 12:15 AM - Mike Kelly: something something solidworks expert something something
    Mar 25, 2015 12:16 AM - JeffTheMess: Good morning all
    Mar 25, 2015 12:17 AM - Mike Glass: Morning Jeff
    Mar 25, 2015 12:17 AM - Mike Kelly: mornin
    Mar 25, 2015 12:22 AM - JeffTheMess: how are my favorite peeps
    Mar 25, 2015 12:23 AM - Mike Kelly: livin large
    Mar 25, 2015 12:25 AM - JeffTheMess: awsome
    Mar 25, 2015 12:27 AM - jbigler1986: Same. No complaints
    Mar 25, 2015 12:31 AM - JeffTheMess: I cheated on my CAD sw with a modeling sw :X I shouldn't have done it, it was a good experience
    Mar 25, 2015 12:31 AM - JeffTheMess: wasn't*
    Mar 25, 2015 12:34 AM - Mike Kelly: snow snow snow
    Mar 25, 2015 12:35 AM - jbigler1986: 60 degrees here
    Mar 25, 2015 12:36 AM - jbigler1986: I hate the weather here. 60 degrees one day and 20 the next
    Mar 25, 2015 12:36 AM - JeffTheMess: I got lucky I move from NY to NC missed all that snow
    Mar 25, 2015 12:36 AM - Mike Kelly: it's been beautiful here lately
    Mar 25, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Kelly: was 80 last week
    Mar 25, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Kelly: supposed to be 80 on saturday as well

    Mar 25, 2015 12:37 AM - jbigler1986: Lucky MK
    Mar 25, 2015 12:38 AM - Mike Kelly: it's been nice
    Mar 25, 2015 12:39 AM - jbigler1986: MK I have some tubing that came with my UP printer I had. Would that work?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:40 AM - Mike Kelly: for bowden? if it's 4mm od 2mm id ptfe, yes
    Mar 25, 2015 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: let me try and find the specs on it
    Mar 25, 2015 12:42 AM - jbigler1986: I can only see that it says :filament tube"
    Mar 25, 2015 12:43 AM - Mike Kelly: calipers
    Mar 25, 2015 12:44 AM - jbigler1986: https://thingiverse-production.s3.a...03072C-1489-000001EDE3BDDF85_preview_card.jpg You can see the tube there
    Mar 25, 2015 12:45 AM - Mike Kelly: probably not
    Mar 25, 2015 12:45 AM - Mike Kelly: ptfe tube is cheap though
    Mar 25, 2015 12:46 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah Looking now
    Mar 25, 2015 12:46 AM - Mike Kelly: god solidworks is so slow, i wonder if it would help to upgrade to 2015
    Mar 25, 2015 12:47 AM - jbigler1986: No B&M stores carry it do they?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:47 AM - Mike Kelly: doubtful
    Mar 25, 2015 12:47 AM - jbigler1986: didn't think so
    Mar 25, 2015 12:48 AM - jbigler1986: How much should I get
    Mar 25, 2015 12:48 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.filastruder.com/collections/e3d-spare-parts-and-accessories/products/ptfe-tubing
    Mar 25, 2015 12:48 AM - Mike Kelly: depends how you want to mount the motors
    Mar 25, 2015 12:49 AM - jbigler1986: I like your plate design
    Mar 25, 2015 12:51 AM - jbigler1986: Wonder if Printed has some
    Mar 25, 2015 12:53 AM - Mike Kelly: he doesn't stock bowden stuff
    Mar 25, 2015 12:53 AM - Mike Glass: damn that is sweet. http://www.filastruder.com/collections/e3d-spare-parts-and-accessories/products/e3dv6-bulldog-mount
    Mar 25, 2015 12:54 AM - Mike Glass: not for $30 though
    Mar 25, 2015 12:54 AM - Mike Glass: maybe $10
    Mar 25, 2015 12:54 AM - Mike Kelly: jb the guy i made that plate for said he needed 2x of those 750mm, minus a few inches
    Mar 25, 2015 12:54 AM - Mike Kelly: so like 1.5m or a bit less
    Mar 25, 2015 12:57 AM - jbigler1986: Damn. Is 5 feet for $17 expensive?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:57 AM - Mike Kelly: not really
    Mar 25, 2015 12:58 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/Fluorotherm-F...UTF8&qid=1427299099&sr=8-3&keywords=ptfe+tube
    Mar 25, 2015 12:58 AM - Mike Kelly: seems fine
    Mar 25, 2015 12:59 AM - jbigler1986: Is mounted on the side the best place to mount it?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:00 AM - Mike Kelly: that's entirely up to you
    Mar 25, 2015 1:00 AM - Mike Glass: mount it on the carriage is the best
    Mar 25, 2015 1:01 AM - jbigler1986: What are the advantages of bowden
    Mar 25, 2015 1:01 AM - Mike Kelly: theoretically a faster max print speed since you have less mass on the carriage, easier to go dual extruders without significant loss to build volume
    Mar 25, 2015 1:02 AM - jbigler1986: Would be nice to mount it on the top of the case under the spool holder
    Mar 25, 2015 1:03 AM - Mike Glass: do you think they can extrude as fast?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:04 AM - jbigler1986: I would still be using wades gear
    Mar 25, 2015 1:04 AM - Mike Kelly: that's hard to say
    Mar 25, 2015 1:05 AM - Mike Kelly: bowdens a bit 6 one way half dozen the other
    Mar 25, 2015 1:05 AM - Mike Kelly: it's not a clear advantage in my book
    Mar 25, 2015 1:05 AM - jbigler1986: I like the clean look plus easier to change filament and what not it would seem
    Mar 25, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: it's just different
    Mar 25, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Glass: The build volume would be my fav.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: you can go to it pretty easily if you wanna experiment
    Mar 25, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: but don't expect night and day difference
    Mar 25, 2015 1:07 AM - Mike Glass: for the money the best upgrade would be to build your own printer. IMO
    Mar 25, 2015 1:08 AM - Mike Kelly: depends how much money
    Mar 25, 2015 1:08 AM - Mike Glass: I rather have 2 printers then one that has all the bells and whistles.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:10 AM - Mike Kelly: 2 printers, twice the annoyance
    Mar 25, 2015 1:11 AM - Mike Glass: 2 Printer twice the speed?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: twice the machine down time
    Mar 25, 2015 1:12 AM - Mike Kelly: twice the parts to break
    Mar 25, 2015 1:13 AM - Mike Glass: lucky most of us have spare parts now.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:13 AM - Mike Kelly: if you own a robo, you'd better
    Mar 25, 2015 1:13 AM - Mike Glass: huwha
    Mar 25, 2015 1:20 AM - thesnomonster: i thnk bowdens the way to go..
    Mar 25, 2015 1:20 AM - Mike Kelly: what do you like about it most so far
    Mar 25, 2015 1:21 AM - thesnomonster: ease of filament change
    Mar 25, 2015 1:21 AM - thesnomonster: not having to worry about filament sliding through the little slot on top
    Mar 25, 2015 1:23 AM - thesnomonster: also 120mm print speed...
    Mar 25, 2015 1:23 AM - thesnomonster: ^^^^ not needed but was cool to attempt
    Mar 25, 2015 1:33 AM - JeffTheMess: shyt netfabb is 300 bucks!
    Mar 25, 2015 1:33 AM - thesnomonster: there is a free one
    Mar 25, 2015 1:33 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah but my model so screwed up it doesn't help
    Mar 25, 2015 1:35 AM - Mike Kelly: netfabb online does a good job
    Mar 25, 2015 1:35 AM - JeffTheMess: let me try it....(this is why I hate modeling)
    Mar 25, 2015 1:36 AM - Mike Glass: Your a model Jeff?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:36 AM - JeffTheMess: lol yeah cant you tell!?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:36 AM - Mike Glass: lol
    Mar 25, 2015 1:37 AM - Mike Glass: hey sno, how's that CNC machine comming along?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:37 AM - thesnomonster: sore subj
    Mar 25, 2015 1:37 AM - Mike Glass: :(
    Mar 25, 2015 1:38 AM - Mike Glass: The Wo in Men I assume.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:38 AM - thesnomonster: long story short i almost had a garage all to myself.. and the car... and the house.. and the support payments!! =D
    Mar 25, 2015 1:38 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like the snow finally stopped
    Mar 25, 2015 1:38 AM - Mike Glass: Its suppose to start here soon.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:39 AM - Mike Kelly: :-\
    Mar 25, 2015 1:39 AM - thesnomonster: wish i could get some this way
    Mar 25, 2015 1:54 AM - JeffTheMess: im trying to fix this and it comes with errors http://imgur.com/yYdyUlB
    Mar 25, 2015 1:55 AM - Mike Glass: sno yo should ban the spammer from your vaughn..lol
    Mar 25, 2015 1:56 AM - Mike Glass: what is it your trying to fix?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:56 AM - JeffTheMess: its the wierdiest thing I put it in mattercontrol and I simulate the print and a part towards the middle always cuts off.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:57 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a lot of faces
    Mar 25, 2015 1:57 AM - jbigler1986: Got her printing again. Had a killer jam.
    Mar 25, 2015 1:57 AM - jbigler1986: Like a knot in the filament
    Mar 25, 2015 1:57 AM - Mike Glass: join the club did ya
    Mar 25, 2015 1:57 AM - JeffTheMess: gotta make it look like ny in an apple
    Mar 25, 2015 1:58 AM - Mike Glass: no stream JB?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:58 AM - Mike Kelly: what did you model it in?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:58 AM - jbigler1986: Should be on ustream
    Mar 25, 2015 1:58 AM - Mike Kelly: no luck with the netfabb online tool?
    Mar 25, 2015 1:59 AM - jbigler1986: Got jammed in ptfe tube. Didn't even get to the nozzle
    Mar 25, 2015 1:59 AM - JeffTheMess: I didn't want to sign up for that right now at work
    Mar 25, 2015 1:59 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think you need to sign up
    Mar 25, 2015 1:59 AM - Mike Kelly: oh maybe you do
    Mar 25, 2015 2:00 AM - Mike Kelly: well try that, it's pretty powerful
    Mar 25, 2015 2:00 AM - JeffTheMess: its the "cloud" netfabb
    Mar 25, 2015 2:00 AM - JeffTheMess: I will at home
    Mar 25, 2015 2:00 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i forgot that part

    Mar 25, 2015 2:01 AM - jbigler1986: If it wasn't for the ptfe tube it would have been a bitch
    Mar 25, 2015 2:03 AM - Mike Kelly: god bless ptfe tubes
    Mar 25, 2015 2:05 AM - jbigler1986: First real defect in all of the cheap filament I used. Can't complain
    Mar 25, 2015 2:08 AM - jbigler1986: Damn. I guess I closed teamviewer. Woops
    Mar 25, 2015 2:24 AM - jbigler1986: do i need a bearing press to press the bearings into a new carriage
    Mar 25, 2015 2:28 AM - Mike Glass: nope just a big hammer
    Mar 25, 2015 2:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: bench vise?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: c-clamp?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: Maybe even a bar clamp
    Mar 25, 2015 2:29 AM - jbigler1986: i have c-clamps
    Mar 25, 2015 2:29 AM - Mike Glass: you have more of an issue getting the old ones out.
    Mar 25, 2015 2:29 AM - Mike Glass: and a vise works best for that
    Mar 25, 2015 2:30 AM - jbigler1986: i would probably order new ones since these apparently dont last long
    Mar 25, 2015 2:30 AM - Mike Glass: I have used the clamps for either , but I have the big ones that have a 2inch base
    Mar 25, 2015 2:31 AM - Mike Glass: I have like a case of them now..lol
    Mar 25, 2015 2:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: I bought a 12 pack of bearings a while ago when I was reading about everyone else having a bad run
    Mar 25, 2015 2:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i've used a bench vise
    Mar 25, 2015 2:35 AM - Mike Kelly: though a bearing press works way better
    Mar 25, 2015 2:36 AM - jbigler1986: I have access to one.
    Mar 25, 2015 2:38 AM - Mike Kelly: crap i'm already hungry and i still have like 2 hours till i can take lunch
    Mar 25, 2015 2:38 AM - jbigler1986: Thinking if I do go the bowden route I might as well go all out
    Mar 25, 2015 2:38 AM - Mike Kelly: are you going dual?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:39 AM - jbigler1986: No
    Mar 25, 2015 2:39 AM - jbigler1986: Not yet anyways
    Mar 25, 2015 2:39 AM - jbigler1986: Maybe in a few months
    Mar 25, 2015 2:39 AM - Mike Kelly: then don't
    Mar 25, 2015 2:39 AM - Mike Kelly: the stock carriage is fine
    Mar 25, 2015 2:40 AM - jbigler1986: Good to know
    Mar 25, 2015 2:43 AM - jbigler1986: Gonna fix my wiring when I'm done with this project
    Mar 25, 2015 2:45 AM - jbigler1986: MK how hard would it be to make a mount for the greg's wade on the top of the case?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:46 AM - Mike Kelly: it's more the issue of the buckling of the PTFE tube as the carriage gets too high
    Mar 25, 2015 2:46 AM - jbigler1986: True. Didn't think about that
    Mar 25, 2015 2:49 AM - jbigler1986: Ordered the PTFE tube
    Mar 25, 2015 2:49 AM - Mike Kelly: cool
    Mar 25, 2015 2:49 AM - jbigler1986: Will be here tomorrow. Gonna be a late night of finishing this project and fixing my wiring.
    Mar 25, 2015 2:50 AM - jbigler1986: Is that the same diameter of tube that came with the e3d
    Mar 25, 2015 2:50 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
    Mar 25, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: Awesome. Good to know I will have extra that I can use for that too
    Mar 25, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: Is your plate on thingiverse?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:52 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
    Mar 25, 2015 2:53 AM - jbigler1986: Could you send it to me por favor
    Mar 25, 2015 2:53 AM - Mike Kelly: people make the most annoying thread titles
    Mar 25, 2015 2:55 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. The (help) one?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:55 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/81agym4sejsb4bi/Dual Wade Adapter.STL?dl=0
    Mar 25, 2015 2:55 AM - Mike Kelly: pretty much any whiney thread title bugs me
    Mar 25, 2015 2:56 AM - Mike Kelly: it should really read "help i have no idea how to search and explain it like i'm 5"
    Mar 25, 2015 2:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: imagine being one of their co-workers and getting email from them
    Mar 25, 2015 2:56 AM - Mike Kelly: this is why it's nice i work with really smart people
    Mar 25, 2015 2:56 AM - jbigler1986: Thank you for that file
    Mar 25, 2015 2:56 AM - Mike Kelly: sure, i think that's the right one i don't remember
    Mar 25, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aswb4kygjdwmnle/Dual Wade.STL?dl=0 there's also this one
    Mar 25, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure which is which
    Mar 25, 2015 2:57 AM - jbigler1986: I will figure it out
    Mar 25, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Kelly: ok dual wade uses 1/8" BSPT to hold the tube
    Mar 25, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Kelly: the other you'd need something like the groove mount bowden adapter
    Mar 25, 2015 2:58 AM - Mike Kelly: which i actually have 2 spare of if you wanna buy them from me
    Mar 25, 2015 2:59 AM - thesnomonster: im going to jynx it but im soo glad i have a reliable printer now...
    Mar 25, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Kelly: that's one hell of a jynx
    Mar 25, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Kelly: i would never utter such words
    Mar 25, 2015 2:59 AM - jbigler1986: b&m have those fittings?
    Mar 25, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Kelly: lol no
    Mar 25, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Kelly: b&m is useless for 3d printing
    Mar 25, 2015 3:00 AM - jbigler1986: mostly
    Mar 25, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.filastruder.com/collecti...essories/products/groove-mount-bowden-adaptor
    Mar 25, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Kelly: these are what i mean
    Mar 25, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Kelly: they mount just like a hot end would
    Mar 25, 2015 3:02 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm
    Mar 25, 2015 3:03 AM - BryZad: I really hate abs
    Mar 25, 2015 3:03 AM - BryZad: can never get it bond well
    Mar 25, 2015 3:03 AM - BryZad: on Small parts
    Mar 25, 2015 3:03 AM - Mike Kelly: print slower and hotter
    Mar 25, 2015 3:04 AM - Mike Kelly: 250 worked well fo rme
    Mar 25, 2015 3:04 AM - Mike Kelly: but PLA in general bonds better
    Mar 25, 2015 3:04 AM - BryZad: that might be true I was printing at 253
    Mar 25, 2015 3:04 AM - BryZad: 235
    Mar 25, 2015 3:05 AM - jbigler1986: Damn. Don't feel like waiting for another part.
    Mar 25, 2015 3:05 AM - BryZad: seems brittle on some parts
    Mar 25, 2015 3:06 AM - Mike Kelly: who prints 2kg of filament without even trying to fix the issues
    Mar 25, 2015 3:06 AM - Mike Kelly: there's ways to hold the PTFE tube with a 4mm nut, but....
    Mar 25, 2015 3:06 AM - Mike Kelly: M4 nut
    Mar 25, 2015 3:07 AM - Mike Kelly: "Well this print sucked, surely the next one will be better" x100
    Mar 25, 2015 3:07 AM - jbigler1986: i'm listening
    Mar 25, 2015 3:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: Don't ever go work for a largish company
    Mar 25, 2015 3:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think i can
    Mar 25, 2015 3:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: stupidity is rampant
    Mar 25, 2015 3:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i can't stand beuracracy
    Mar 25, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: a company where it's more important to show you've done work than to actually accomplish things is not the place i want to be
    Mar 25, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: but that's why i mostly work for start ups
    Mar 25, 2015 3:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: Don't work for a consulting firm either, because those large companies are your customer. trust me, i know :eek:
    Mar 25, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh
    Mar 25, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd like to do private consulting
    Mar 25, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: but after i get these couple startups off the ground and have enough money
    Mar 25, 2015 3:10 AM - Mike Kelly: jb you'd have to look on thingiverse, i think it was like a rostock mount that i found in the past
    Mar 25, 2015 3:11 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29102 this is pretty clever
    Mar 25, 2015 3:11 AM - jbigler1986: Yes it is
    Mar 25, 2015 3:13 AM - jbigler1986: That's kinda what I was thinking. Just couldn't think of what they are called to look them up
    Mar 25, 2015 3:13 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:28400
    Mar 25, 2015 3:14 AM - jbigler1986: Even less parts. Lol
    Mar 25, 2015 3:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: You guys familiar with www.LMGTFY.com
    Mar 25, 2015 3:17 AM - jbigler1986: Google? I'm not familiar

    Mar 25, 2015 3:17 AM - Mike Glass: What is this google?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:18 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i don't like to use that to people
    Mar 25, 2015 3:18 AM - Mike Kelly: it's really dick
    Mar 25, 2015 3:19 AM - jbigler1986: I hope that guy was using cheap filament
    Mar 25, 2015 3:19 AM - Mike Kelly: probably makerbot because he's clearly a genius
    Mar 25, 2015 3:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: but for some of the questions in the forum i really want to
    Mar 25, 2015 3:20 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i definitely want to a LOT
    Mar 25, 2015 3:20 AM - Mike Kelly: but i try not to encourage the "Just search" mentality
    Mar 25, 2015 3:20 AM - jbigler1986: As soon as I see a print fcked up I stop that shit
    Mar 25, 2015 3:20 AM - Mike Kelly: i hate seeing those "answers" when i'm searching for answer
    Mar 25, 2015 3:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i did it to someone on the facebook owners group, cause that's not indexed
    Mar 25, 2015 3:21 AM - jbigler1986: Then keep starting it crossing my fingers that it will magically be fixed
    Mar 25, 2015 3:24 AM - jbigler1986: I feel like my webcam is a nanny cam making sure that my child doesn't get into any trouble
    Mar 25, 2015 3:24 AM - Mike Kelly: isn't it though
    Mar 25, 2015 3:25 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/FyPoZ98.jpg
    Mar 25, 2015 3:25 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. That show is hilarious. It was better with Drew
    Mar 25, 2015 3:29 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed
    Mar 25, 2015 3:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hey guys!
    Mar 25, 2015 3:40 AM - Mike Glass: lol really
    Mar 25, 2015 3:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: wanted to get a little feedback. Thought it would be cool to promote a day a week for an hour or so that I could come on here every week and anyone can ask questions
    Mar 25, 2015 3:41 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: about our company, their product, our development
    Mar 25, 2015 3:41 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: whatever it may be
    Mar 25, 2015 3:41 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: What do you think??
    Mar 25, 2015 3:41 AM - Mike Kelly: you should make your font red so it stands out
    Mar 25, 2015 3:42 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Good call
    Mar 25, 2015 3:42 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: thanks
    Mar 25, 2015 3:42 AM - Mike Glass: ther it is
    Mar 25, 2015 3:42 AM - Printed Solid: I think it's a great idea.
    Mar 25, 2015 3:42 AM - Mike Glass: what kind of questions
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Mike Glass: on did I just ask one?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haha
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: anything
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Mike Kelly: whatever questions you may have
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Mike Kelly: like a launch date for the R2 :)
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I just want to be able to have a time weekly that people can hear what we are doing
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and ask any questions/give feedback
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - JeffTheMess: oh yeah R2
    Mar 25, 2015 3:43 AM - Mike Glass: R2 is dead its now the R3
    Mar 25, 2015 3:44 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I also want to cultivate some collab communities on here for people who need help on projects
    Mar 25, 2015 3:44 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: R2 casing is being redesigned so we can scale it down simultaneously with the R2 mini without having to create two massive molds
    Mar 25, 2015 3:44 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but it works and the toggling dual extrusion is sweet
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Mike Glass: WHen, When, When
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the mega machine is printing as we speak
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 3 feet of build volume
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 3 feet cubed that is
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Mike Glass: That is effin crazy
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i thought it was 1m^3
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Mike Kelly: oh wait
    Mar 25, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: supposed to be
    Mar 25, 2015 3:46 AM - Mike Kelly: *math*
    Mar 25, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but we lost some a small amount of build space with some bracketry
    Mar 25, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: still going to try and get it there
    Mar 25, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: by extending some extrusions
    Mar 25, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: on the framework
    Mar 25, 2015 3:46 AM - Mike Kelly: what size rod are you using 10mm?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Glass: Do I hear a 12
    Mar 25, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Kelly: also 3*3*3 = 27ft^3
    Mar 25, 2015 3:47 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 12mm
    Mar 25, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
    Mar 25, 2015 3:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: So you are saying we can 3d print a yard
    Mar 25, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: a 3 foot yard yes
    Mar 25, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: or some fencing for your yard
    Mar 25, 2015 3:48 AM - Mike Glass: haha
    Mar 25, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and I know you meant a yard stick haha
    Mar 25, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: its pretty cool tho
    Mar 25, 2015 3:49 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are able to literally print a full sized replica of the R2 casing
    Mar 25, 2015 3:49 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: without it being in pieces
    Mar 25, 2015 3:49 AM - Mike Kelly: i should send you the R1 model and you could print it
    Mar 25, 2015 3:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: diameter of print nozzle?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Mike Glass: probably 1.2 or bigger
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: any bigger and should use 3mm filament no?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 1mm
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 3mm filament
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: still testing this
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Mike Kelly: are you gonna get like 10lb spools for it?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:50 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yup
    Mar 25, 2015 3:51 AM - Mike Glass: or its own grinder and just feed it pellets
    Mar 25, 2015 3:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 10 pound reels
    Mar 25, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but we have a customer of ours local working on a grinder
    Mar 25, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so we will see
    Mar 25, 2015 3:52 AM - Mike Kelly: are you sticking with that starter filament you've been sending out?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:52 AM - Mike Glass: def would be cheaper with pellets
    Mar 25, 2015 3:53 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have changed supplier for the starter filament
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - Mike Kelly: yay
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yeah it would be a lot cheaper with pellets
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I know. Starter filament quality was not up to par
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - Mike Kelly: how much weight can the megas build plate support
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - thesnomonster: where do i sign up to be a beta tester for R2/3
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: that filament gave a lot of people bad impressions
    Mar 25, 2015 3:54 AM - Mike Glass: Hey nothing wrong with the start stuff
    Mar 25, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Kelly: it just isn't as good as their regular filament
    Mar 25, 2015 3:55 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: do not have all the data on this yet. The first full part we are printing is about a 10 lb castle
    Mar 25, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Glass: I made my best warped parts with it.
    Mar 25, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Kelly: get some weights and see when it torque stalls
    Mar 25, 2015 3:55 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: We will have a sign up on the website thesnomonster when we get closer
    Mar 25, 2015 3:55 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and I will announce it in a newsletter if you are signed up for that
    Mar 25, 2015 3:57 AM - Mike Glass: So this summer?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: do you guys do all your own design work in-house?
    Mar 25, 2015 3:57 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes. we have 3 full time engineers working on it
    Mar 25, 2015 3:57 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: this summer is definitely our goal

    Mar 25, 2015 4:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: grub hub for everyone
    Mar 25, 2015 4:01 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yeah right? that would be amazing
    Mar 25, 2015 4:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: any thoughts to sanctioned upgrade kits for existing robos
    Mar 25, 2015 4:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: there has been multiple renditions of the machine so all we can do is sell the parts separately based on needs
    Mar 25, 2015 4:06 AM - Mike Kelly: i think he means like how you used to sell the y axis kits
    Mar 25, 2015 4:07 AM - JeffTheMess: you may notice alot of us have cams to watch our prints live, any thoughts on cam setup into a robo?
    Mar 25, 2015 4:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we still do this on a request basis
    Mar 25, 2015 4:08 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: just not advertised on our site
    Mar 25, 2015 4:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, i'm not thinking about moving from rev 1.7 to 1.8, but from 1.7 to 2.1
    Mar 25, 2015 4:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: dual print heads
    Mar 25, 2015 4:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: bowden
    Mar 25, 2015 4:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: ...
    Mar 25, 2015 4:08 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: there is dual print head upgrades and bowden that customers have done
    Mar 25, 2015 4:20 AM - Printed Solid: Braydon, are you thinking summer for the mini as well?
    Mar 25, 2015 4:22 AM - Printed Solid: By the way, I think you coming on here once a week or so on a scheduled basis is a great idea.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: The mini is going to be late summer
    Mar 25, 2015 4:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are coming out with a R1 pro which has our full color touch screen on it first and wifi
    Mar 25, 2015 4:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and then the mini and R2 will come simulataneously
    Mar 25, 2015 4:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and thanks Printed!
    Mar 25, 2015 4:26 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think it will be cool to talk to everyone as well
    Mar 25, 2015 4:26 AM - Mike Glass: me too, The pizza will be great
    Mar 25, 2015 4:26 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and just share whats happenin in HQ and anything else
    Mar 25, 2015 4:26 AM - Printed Solid: There was an email update on the pro a few days ago, right? I'm most interested in the mini.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:26 AM - Mike Glass: Hopefully your not using MC touch for those?
    Mar 25, 2015 4:27 AM - Printed Solid: I meet so many people that want to get started in printing, but can't stomach the price of a higher cost printer and aren't technical enough for a kit.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:27 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: no MC touch is just for now
    Mar 25, 2015 4:27 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and we will probably use it for the mega
    Mar 25, 2015 4:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: as an embedded screen
    Mar 25, 2015 4:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: one thing we are launching in a few days is a financing program for our 3D printer
    Mar 25, 2015 4:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: pay in 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months
    Mar 25, 2015 4:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think that will be interesting for online buyers
    Mar 25, 2015 4:29 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and people that can't stomach spending $800 on the spot
    Mar 25, 2015 4:29 AM - Printed Solid: should be interesting, although you can typically do that with the paypal pay me later thing already.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:29 AM - Mike Glass: I did when I bought my robo from amazon, so yea that would be great
    Mar 25, 2015 4:29 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: true but its not sexy enough
    Mar 25, 2015 4:29 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the paypal
    Mar 25, 2015 4:29 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: this is a checkout option right in the checkout menu
    Mar 25, 2015 4:30 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: company called affirm
    Mar 25, 2015 4:30 AM - Printed Solid: that does make a difference.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:30 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: actually founded by max, who was a co-founder of paypal
    Mar 25, 2015 4:31 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: it will be interesting to see if people will take the leap for a monthly price rather than upfront cost
    Mar 25, 2015 4:31 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think that is the wave of future purchasing decisions in general
    Mar 25, 2015 4:31 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: behavior I mean
    Mar 25, 2015 4:31 AM - toy: im a cash person myself =)
    Mar 25, 2015 4:31 AM - Mike Glass: has been for years, at least in the electronics home and car world.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:31 AM - Printed Solid: I use those 6 months same as cash whenever I can.
    Mar 25, 2015 4:33 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes it has for a lot of large purchasing decisions
    Mar 25, 2015 4:33 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but micro lending through ecommerce is attractive
    Mar 25, 2015 4:34 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: heading to lunch yall
    Mar 25, 2015 4:34 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: be back on here in a little
    Mar 25, 2015 4:34 AM - Mike Glass: thanks for the info Braydon
    Mar 25, 2015 4:34 AM - toy: cya dude
    Mar 25, 2015 4:34 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey Braydon, I saw that you guys starting selling with BestBuy (great,job), places like that will have added warranty will robo do the same? even though it "open source"
    Mar 25, 2015 4:34 AM - JeffTheMess: I was to late :(
    Mar 25, 2015 4:35 AM - toy: i think u should get a discount these days for paying in cash
    Mar 25, 2015 4:36 AM - Mike Glass: why cash has no value these days
    Mar 25, 2015 4:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: right, because the interest that would normally be charged is just baked into the price
    Mar 25, 2015 4:36 AM - jbigler1986: what did I miss
    Mar 25, 2015 4:36 AM - Mike Glass: unless your evading taxes
    Mar 25, 2015 4:36 AM - toy: cash is king =)
    Mar 25, 2015 4:37 AM - Mike Glass: maybe in the drug world but real world ...nah

    Mar 25, 2015 4:41 AM - jbigler1986: I fear for my kids if things get worse
    Mar 25, 2015 4:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: its only so the locals can get a little civil forfeiture going
    Mar 25, 2015 4:43 AM - Stephen Capistron:
    Mar 25, 2015 4:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: John Oliver if you have or have not seen it
    Mar 25, 2015 4:44 AM - jbigler1986: Hey printed did you happen to find any heating elements?

    Mar 25, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Glass: that is first layer, not sure you can do anything about that.
    Mar 25, 2015 8:26 AM - jbigler1986: Gay. Oh well. Almost done with the vending machine. Then on to wiring and printing parts for bowden

    Mar 25, 2015 11:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: bueller?
    Mar 25, 2015 11:51 AM - TechSupportGo: hello
    Mar 25, 2015 11:51 AM - thesnomonster: hi
    Mar 25, 2015 11:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: okay informal poll
    Mar 25, 2015 11:51 AM - TechSupportGo: anyone having any issues?
    Mar 25, 2015 11:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: one of the screws on my helical couplers head is all striped out
    Mar 25, 2015 11:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: i had to use a left hand drill bit on it
    Mar 25, 2015 11:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: figures that it is an M2.5, because i have those lying around
    Mar 25, 2015 11:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: So, just order some screws, $7.50 for a box of 50
    Mar 25, 2015 11:53 AM - TechSupportGo: yep, that happens :( I dont work for robo but what I did when it happened to me was screw the threaded rod in tight then I put a spot of super glue on it
    Mar 25, 2015 11:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: not sure what i'd do with 49 extra screws, but whatever
    Mar 25, 2015 11:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: I could order some new helical couplers
    Mar 25, 2015 11:54 AM - TechSupportGo: you can use hot glue also, you just dont want it to slip in the coupler at all
    Mar 25, 2015 11:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.amazon.com/5mmx8mm-Helic...id=1427337440&sr=8-1&keywords=helical+coupler
    Mar 25, 2015 11:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm not a huge fan of that style though as the rod is prone to being off center, and we know that is no good
    Mar 25, 2015 11:55 AM - TechSupportGo: use their replacment parts page it good for 6 months after purchase and takes about a week to get the parts.
    Mar 25, 2015 11:55 AM - TechSupportGo: the glue is a temp fix until you get the parts
    Mar 25, 2015 11:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: my other thought was to go full on upgrade
    Mar 25, 2015 11:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Scr..._indust_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=1X0W2YQDTK7JJZGD95WQ
    Mar 25, 2015 11:56 AM - TechSupportGo: http://www.robo3d.com/pages/replacement-part-request
    Mar 25, 2015 11:57 AM - TechSupportGo: if you buy that you will need to change your software
    Mar 25, 2015 11:58 AM - TechSupportGo: I mean firmware
    Mar 25, 2015 11:58 AM - TechSupportGo: to match the different thread depth
    Mar 25, 2015 11:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, that is understood
    Mar 25, 2015 11:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: i've mucked around with the firmware. Not as scary as one might think
    Mar 25, 2015 11:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: biggest hassle is the lack of formatting in notepad
    Mar 25, 2015 12:07 PM - Wikid: I like using Crimsion Editor, used it alot when I edited Gcode for CNC machines
    Mar 25, 2015 12:07 PM - TechSupportGo: I just use the arduino editor
    Mar 25, 2015 12:07 PM - Stephen Capistron: I will have to look into that
    Mar 25, 2015 12:08 PM - Wikid: yea for the firmware I just use the Arduino editor also
    Mar 25, 2015 12:08 PM - TechSupportGo: in fact, I know no other way to flash the firmware
    Mar 25, 2015 12:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: I've probably been doing this the hard way, open the .h file up in notepad
    Mar 25, 2015 12:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: CTRL + F to find the thing i want, make the change
    Mar 25, 2015 12:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: then open up the arduino software and flash it over
    Mar 25, 2015 12:11 PM - Wikid: hehe yea thats the long way to do it
    Mar 25, 2015 12:11 PM - Wikid: i like how you use CTRL+F to be efficient though
    Mar 25, 2015 12:11 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'm an ME and my programming knowledge stops at VB and HTML
    Mar 25, 2015 12:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: keyboard shortcuts are my favorite thing
    Mar 25, 2015 12:12 PM - Wikid: I was a programmer for CNC machines now im going to school for CS
    Mar 25, 2015 12:12 PM - Wikid: mine too
    Mar 25, 2015 12:12 PM - Wikid: I make scripts to use my macro keys
    Mar 25, 2015 12:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: I don't go that crazy, but I do have my background at work set as a table full of ALT code for inserting Greek characters and such
    Mar 25, 2015 12:14 PM - Wikid: I have scripts for having a button to shutdown or halt a shutdown in windows 8.1
    Mar 25, 2015 12:15 PM - Wikid: im trying to understand why the V2 firmware has an odd Z step set in it
    Mar 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Stephen Capistron: what do you mean?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Wikid: Been trying to find the V2 firmware that mattercontrol wants to update with
    Mar 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Wikid: i finally found it here on the forums from Mike
    Mar 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Wikid: the steps per MM for z are some odd value not 2560
    Mar 25, 2015 12:18 PM - Stephen Capistron: oh
    Mar 25, 2015 12:18 PM - Stephen Capistron: those were for the old 5/16 SAE rods
    Mar 25, 2015 12:19 PM - Wikid: its at 2267.72 is that the 5/16 rod?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:19 PM - Stephen Capistron: those were 18 revolutions per inch and the metric are a hair over 20
    Mar 25, 2015 12:19 PM - Stephen Capistron: yup

    Mar 25, 2015 12:19 PM - Wikid: 2560 is right for the 8mm correct?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: yup
    Mar 25, 2015 12:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: 2560 is for the M8 threaded rod
    Mar 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Wikid: you ever mess with jerk?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: story is that the supplier in china flashed over the old firmware onto a largeish order of units so a whole bunch of robos shipped with M8 rods installed, but had firmware for the 5/16th rods
    Mar 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: who you calling a jerk?
    Mar 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: but no
    Mar 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Wikid: I was having a hard time trying to find the firmware for the longest time kepts getting the old AutoV5
    Mar 25, 2015 12:22 PM - Stephen Capistron: I've dropped the acceleration way down, and that made the printer sound a lot nicer and seem more stable, but it messes with the printers ability to bridge big time
    Mar 25, 2015 12:22 PM - Wikid: Needed to adjust my E steps, i could do it in Cura but picked up simplify3d and I dont see an adjustment for it
    Mar 25, 2015 12:22 PM - Wikid: Ah
    Mar 25, 2015 12:23 PM - Stephen Capistron: Ziggy is the firmware guru around these parts
    Mar 25, 2015 12:24 PM - Wikid: Yea kinda picked that up from all his fancyness with firmware posts
    Mar 25, 2015 12:25 PM - Stephen Capistron: its late here so i'm off
    Mar 25, 2015 12:26 PM - Wikid: later
    Mar 25, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: Hey Tech!
    Mar 25, 2015 1:24 PM - TechSupportGo: gun was a fail
    Mar 25, 2015 1:24 PM - TechSupportGo: I had some gunk on the z rod :(
    Mar 25, 2015 1:27 PM - TechSupportGo: It printed about 4 inches high before the fail... what did print looks awesome
    Mar 25, 2015 1:28 PM - TechSupportGo: is it just me or does everyones post time say "a moment ago"
    Mar 25, 2015 1:46 PM - Wikid: just you
    Mar 25, 2015 8:29 PM - jbigler1986: Morning everyone

    Mar 25, 2015 10:12 PM - JeffTheMess: Good morning
    Mar 25, 2015 10:13 PM - JeffTheMess: Finally got a new webcam gonna design a mount for it to go on the bed itself
    Mar 25, 2015 10:13 PM - JeffTheMess: plus I now know how to view a live feed via mobile
    Mar 25, 2015 10:15 PM - jbigler1986: Nice. Ustream you don't need anything special to view on mobile. That's why I like it
    Mar 25, 2015 10:16 PM - jbigler1986: printing some bowden parts right now
    Mar 25, 2015 10:16 PM - JeffTheMess: really thats even better I had to download a serperate web browser to view flash
    Mar 25, 2015 10:16 PM - JeffTheMess: lets see it
    Mar 25, 2015 10:17 PM - jbigler1986: didn't have time to relevel this morning so front right part came loose. It's not a big part so it won't take long to reprint it. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
    Mar 25, 2015 10:19 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah it completely came off.. hope it dont mess with the other parts of the print
    Mar 25, 2015 10:20 PM - jbigler1986: well the big plate is almost done. Not gonna get much thicker.The others are small parts so if it does not a big deal
    Mar 25, 2015 10:21 PM - jbigler1986: I think the plate is actually done
    Mar 25, 2015 10:21 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah they look like fast prints...what gen is your robo?
    Mar 25, 2015 10:22 PM - jbigler1986: I have the latest one. Got it like a month and a half ago. I use .8 nozzle on most parts so they are very fast
    Mar 25, 2015 10:24 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah thats good
    Mar 25, 2015 10:24 PM - jbigler1986: Took like an hour and 15 for the plate. Lol
    Mar 25, 2015 10:25 PM - JeffTheMess: lol you been doing nothing but upgrades for your robo thats great
    Mar 25, 2015 10:25 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. After I do the bowden I think I'm done with upgrades. Lol
    Mar 25, 2015 10:26 PM - jbigler1986: Should be done tonight. Getting the tube today
    Mar 25, 2015 10:27 PM - JeffTheMess: lol....Wait no dual extruder!?
    Mar 25, 2015 10:27 PM - Bill Monroe: There is nothing better to start the day with, then a plate of meatloaf and potatos slathered in Bacon gravy..
    Mar 25, 2015 10:28 PM - jbigler1986: :p
    Mar 25, 2015 10:28 PM - jbigler1986: Nah. I wouldn't use dual honestly. If I need to I will just pause and change filament
    Mar 25, 2015 10:28 PM - Bill Monroe: Duals can be a challenger
    Mar 25, 2015 10:30 PM - JeffTheMess: I like the way MK does it he uses the second extruder for support material that can break off more easily, but with meshmixer may not be worth it
    Mar 25, 2015 10:30 PM - Bill Monroe: I just yesterday noticed that my stratasys' nozzles move down just a touch when they are in use
    Mar 25, 2015 10:31 PM - jbigler1986: meshmixer I haven't been able to manually add support for some reason
    Mar 25, 2015 10:32 PM - JeffTheMess: Im not a wiz like the rest the rest of these guys but maybe your nozzle may be loose when moving but appears to be right when still
    Mar 25, 2015 10:33 PM - Bill Monroe: you talking to me?
    Mar 25, 2015 10:33 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah
    Mar 25, 2015 10:33 PM - Bill Monroe: naw.. it's intentional.. keeps the other nozzle from kissing theprint as it moves around
    Mar 25, 2015 10:34 PM - Bill Monroe: i just never noticed it before
    Mar 25, 2015 10:34 PM - Bill Monroe: i will be ripping off that tech without delay :)
    Mar 25, 2015 10:35 PM - JeffTheMess: oh so you have a dual extruder, how do you use it just for color or different filament
    Mar 25, 2015 10:35 PM - jbigler1986: He has a business model printer.
    Mar 25, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: i've tried 2 color just for fun.. but the intest was to use the second nozzle for peelable support
    Mar 25, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: my robo that is
    Mar 25, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: the strat is already perfection
    Mar 25, 2015 10:36 PM - JeffTheMess: Lucky you....sounds like you print for more than just a hobby
    Mar 25, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: i also have a vintage Strat Prodigy Plus.. just for ABS
    Mar 25, 2015 10:37 PM - jbigler1986: Sound like your house keeper is perfection making that delicious food
    Mar 25, 2015 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: ohya.. been using 3D printing for work for about 12 years now
    Mar 25, 2015 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: oh my gawd.. she's perfection with food, and on the eyes
    Mar 25, 2015 10:37 PM - jbigler1986: Print prototypes? Or molds?
    Mar 25, 2015 10:38 PM - Bill Monroe: protos. tooling, marketing, etc..
    Mar 25, 2015 10:39 PM - JeffTheMess: really so how have you seen 3d printing through your eyes over the last 12 years...is it a real improvement or just small improvement(other than material just printing)
    Mar 25, 2015 10:39 PM - Bill Monroe: FDM is pretty much leveled off as far as tech knowledge, the trick is now to make it cheaper.. 3D manufacturing is the next beg target
    Mar 25, 2015 10:39 PM - JeffTheMess: alot of times its just bells and whistle from what ive seen
    Mar 25, 2015 10:40 PM - Bill Monroe: big
    Mar 25, 2015 10:40 PM - JeffTheMess: have you tried sla like the form1+?
    Mar 25, 2015 10:42 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, we have an sla machine in a different lab
    Mar 25, 2015 10:42 PM - Bill Monroe: the IV Pump guys use it more than I do
    Mar 25, 2015 10:42 PM - jbigler1986: I would be more interested in it if it was less messy
    Mar 25, 2015 10:43 PM - Bill Monroe: it's a lot more fiddly, the polymer is expensive and requires careful handling
    Mar 25, 2015 10:43 PM - Bill Monroe: BUT, it makes amaaaaaxong prints
    Mar 25, 2015 10:43 PM - Bill Monroe: amazing
    Mar 25, 2015 10:46 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. The prints look really good. As they should
    Mar 25, 2015 10:46 PM - JeffTheMess: http://www.engineering.com/3DPrinti...Liquid-Its-like-the-T-1000-in-Terminator.aspx
    Mar 25, 2015 10:47 PM - JeffTheMess: this is new tech 100x faster to print
    Mar 25, 2015 10:50 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. not new
    Mar 25, 2015 10:52 PM - jbigler1986: how the hell does that work. (didn't read it just watch the vid)
    Mar 25, 2015 10:52 PM - Bill Monroe: it's like sla just in reverse..
    Mar 25, 2015 10:54 PM - jbigler1986: Interesting
    Mar 25, 2015 10:54 PM - jbigler1986: Haven't really looked into how either one works really
    Mar 25, 2015 10:56 PM - Bill Monroe: uses a laser to solidify a polymer, one layer at a time... super fast, mechanically mush simpler
    Mar 25, 2015 10:57 PM - jbigler1986: No support needed?
    Mar 25, 2015 10:57 PM - Bill Monroe: the laser/mirror is uber expensive and so is the polymer so, quality machines are still a little out of reach of hobbists
    Mar 25, 2015 10:57 PM - Bill Monroe: no support at all
    Mar 25, 2015 10:57 PM - JeffTheMess: fromthe "TED" video it looks like no support needed
    Mar 25, 2015 10:57 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I saw the price of the stuff for the form1. Not sure how many parts you can get from 1 litter though
    Mar 25, 2015 10:58 PM - jbigler1986: I think it was like $60 a bottle
    Mar 25, 2015 10:58 PM - JeffTheMess: 150 bucks for one liter and you need two liters to fill a tank, this bottle is from their website
    Mar 25, 2015 11:00 PM - JeffTheMess: messy stuff
    Mar 25, 2015 11:01 PM - jbigler1986: That crazy. No thanks. Get the price to what it is for FDM and I might bite
    Mar 25, 2015 11:02 PM - Bill Monroe: needs to be kept dark or it expires
    Mar 25, 2015 11:04 PM - JeffTheMess: really in the dark, tooo fragile for my life
    Mar 25, 2015 11:05 PM - jbigler1986: I'm pretty happy with my robo right now. Can't complain about quality when I have it level
    Mar 25, 2015 11:05 PM - JeffTheMess: PLus I know form1 was being sued by 3d system on patents
    Mar 25, 2015 11:05 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah the robo is a great machine
    Mar 25, 2015 11:09 PM - jbigler1986: Bill can you edit another stl for me
    Mar 25, 2015 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/download:124369
    Mar 25, 2015 11:10 PM - JeffTheMess: thats a cool print
    Mar 25, 2015 11:11 PM - jbigler1986: after I slice them in the middle it's to thin and it doesn't print as one solid part
    Mar 25, 2015 11:12 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I have those pins left and thats it. I could use it without them but that takes away from some of the cool ness
    Mar 25, 2015 11:12 PM - jbigler1986: Coin lock pins is the part
    Mar 25, 2015 11:17 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/ilVuMLO
    Mar 25, 2015 11:18 PM - JeffTheMess: this realest thing ever!!!....
    Mar 25, 2015 11:24 PM - jbigler1986: That's pretty awesome
    Mar 25, 2015 11:31 PM - JeffTheMess: you should download blender you can edit stl files and its free
    Mar 25, 2015 11:33 PM - jbigler1986: HMM
    Mar 25, 2015 11:33 PM - Bill Monroe: it's perfect jb
    Mar 25, 2015 11:34 PM - JeffTheMess: to me it sounds you need to scale a certain area which can be in blender
    Mar 25, 2015 11:35 PM - jbigler1986: maybe it's just the way slic3r slices it
    Mar 25, 2015 11:38 PM - Bill Monroe: have you tried using STL Model Repair Service?
    Mar 25, 2015 11:38 PM - JeffTheMess: This is where software has to play catch up to the printer models are getting more complex
    Mar 25, 2015 11:39 PM - jbigler1986: i used netfabb
    Mar 25, 2015 11:40 PM - Mike Kelly: morning
    Mar 25, 2015 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: morning
    Mar 25, 2015 11:41 PM - JeffTheMess: morning
    Mar 25, 2015 11:44 PM - Mike Kelly: how are things
    Mar 25, 2015 11:45 PM - jbigler1986: good. got the plate printed and half of the bowden clamp

    Mar 25, 2015 11:48 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
    Mar 25, 2015 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: Do I need to make any firmware changes or anything
    Mar 25, 2015 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: Or will it just think that it's still direct drive
    Mar 25, 2015 11:54 PM - donhuevo: gone for two minutes and Mike gets demoted?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:06 AM - Mike Kelly: i demoted myself
    Mar 26, 2015 12:07 AM - Mike Kelly: to more accurately reflect what it is I do
    Mar 26, 2015 12:07 AM - Mike Kelly: so people don't think i'm actually an admin
    Mar 26, 2015 12:08 AM - donhuevo: so congrats then?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:10 AM - JeffTheMess: not to say I want to become one but how'd you become and admin or moderator or volunteer?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:11 AM - donhuevo: I think Tesseract knighted him
    Mar 26, 2015 12:11 AM - jbigler1986: Probably by being very active and helping/contributing alot
    Mar 26, 2015 12:11 AM - donhuevo: or deputized him
    Mar 26, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: they asked me to, just gotta be helpful and answer questions, people will take notice
    Mar 26, 2015 12:18 AM - JeffTheMess: nice... I guess you know the hardware alot
    Mar 26, 2015 12:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i've learned a lot about the robo
    Mar 26, 2015 12:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i had a pretty good understanding of robotics before i started on this
    Mar 26, 2015 12:22 AM - jbigler1986: Not me. Never used or messed with a stepper motor or anything until I got my robo
    Mar 26, 2015 12:23 AM - JeffTheMess: same here
    Mar 26, 2015 12:24 AM - Mike Kelly: i didn't ever use steppers, understood how they worked but never actually worked with them
    Mar 26, 2015 12:24 AM - jbigler1986: I'm starting to get more comfortable with it though. I was so afraid at first to mess something up. Now I realize that it's not a big deal
    Mar 26, 2015 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh wtf
    Mar 26, 2015 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: why did this route revert back
    Mar 26, 2015 12:27 AM - jbigler1986: I realize now that the most expensive part is the hotend. Other than that not 1 part is all that expensive (besides the heated bed)
    Mar 26, 2015 12:28 AM - Mike Kelly: the control board combo is kinda pricey
    Mar 26, 2015 12:29 AM - donhuevo: and the linear steppers
    Mar 26, 2015 12:29 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 12:29 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh this pisses me off, i have no idea why this reverted
    Mar 26, 2015 12:29 AM - donhuevo: you know why. Someone else had the file open too
    Mar 26, 2015 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: our PDM ensures that doesn't happen
    Mar 26, 2015 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: it must have been a conflict of names
    Mar 26, 2015 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if it's still on my disk
    Mar 26, 2015 12:30 AM - donhuevo: yep. Things are infallible until they aren't
    Mar 26, 2015 12:30 AM - jbigler1986: well the control board doesn't really get messed with unless you are using it to power something. I meant as far as upgrading/fixing issues
    Mar 26, 2015 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: says you
    Mar 26, 2015 12:32 AM - Mike Kelly: guess i'm rebuilding, super
    Mar 26, 2015 12:32 AM - jbigler1986: haven't touched mine besides plugging in the lcd
    Mar 26, 2015 12:33 AM - JeffTheMess: guess im the only one that havent done any upgrades yet
    Mar 26, 2015 12:34 AM - jbigler1986: no lcd?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:35 AM - JeffTheMess: Nuttin, first thing Im gonna do is the webcam right now... i wish i had more time to do so
    Mar 26, 2015 12:38 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I highly suggest that so you can stop a print if its messed up
    Mar 26, 2015 12:39 AM - jbigler1986: Just got my bowden tubing. Oh yeah
    Mar 26, 2015 12:41 AM - JeffTheMess: whats the tube for?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:44 AM - jbigler1986: feeding the filament. Moving the extruder from on top of the carriage to the outside of the case
    Mar 26, 2015 12:45 AM - JeffTheMess: ah ok
    Mar 26, 2015 12:45 AM - jbigler1986: need to use a new hotend. Don't think you can do it with the hex unless you modify it which not sure if that's possible or worth it
    Mar 26, 2015 12:48 AM - JeffTheMess: i hear the most important part to upgrade is the hotend...any truth to that?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:49 AM - Mike Kelly: you can get a m6 to 4mm ptc fitting for the hex
    Mar 26, 2015 12:49 AM - Mike Kelly: but the e3dv6 is the best hot end right now
    Mar 26, 2015 12:50 AM - jbigler1986: I have only had 1 jam since I installed mine. That's because the filament had something in the filament to where is bulged out to 2.2mm
    Mar 26, 2015 12:51 AM - jbigler1986: I had a spool of filament that averaged about 1.9mm and it wouldn't extrude at all with the hex. I have ran the entire spool through the e3d without any issues.
    Mar 26, 2015 12:52 AM - Mike Kelly: season?
    Mar 26, 2015 12:53 AM - jbigler1986: I have both seasoned and run oiler
    Mar 26, 2015 12:53 AM - JeffTheMess: really i must have been lucky with my stock hotend I print at 1.75
    Mar 26, 2015 12:54 AM - Mike Kelly: the hex is fine for the most part
    Mar 26, 2015 12:55 AM - jbigler1986: Robo needs to use threaded thermistor and remove that boot
    Mar 26, 2015 12:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah neither of those things would happen
    Mar 26, 2015 12:56 AM - JeffTheMess: so for you mike what you think is the most important
    Mar 26, 2015 12:56 AM - jbigler1986: I know. Would be very useful though. Lots of people don't notice oozing until it because a huge issue
    Mar 26, 2015 12:56 AM - Mike Kelly: most important what
    Mar 26, 2015 12:56 AM - Mike Kelly: the oozing just has to do with assembly
    Mar 26, 2015 12:56 AM - JeffTheMess: upgrade
    Mar 26, 2015 12:57 AM - Mike Kelly: if you print a lot of PLA adding a dual fan holder would be good
    Mar 26, 2015 12:58 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah that sounds good
    Mar 26, 2015 12:59 AM - jbigler1986: LCD for longs prints and other options. THat way incase you have a computer issue it won't affect it
    Mar 26, 2015 1:00 AM - Mike Kelly: lcd is nice but just learn to print from SD
    Mar 26, 2015 1:00 AM - JeffTheMess: I dont like much the sd card feature for me it works when it wants too
    Mar 26, 2015 1:00 AM - jbigler1986: You can do it that way as well. Just print from SD in general I suppose
    Mar 26, 2015 1:01 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
    Mar 26, 2015 1:01 AM - Mike Kelly: the lcd is nice though, good value added upgrade
    Mar 26, 2015 1:01 AM - jbigler1986: I need longer ribbon cables for mine
    Mar 26, 2015 1:02 AM - Mike Kelly: caution, there be dragons
    Mar 26, 2015 1:03 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I heard lots of people had issues with longer cables
    Mar 26, 2015 1:04 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah ribbon cable are the length they are for a reason
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: there was a post somewhere discussing the electrical issues with longer cables
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: no clue where
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: wish i had a bookmark feature....
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: but that means a certain someone would have to get off his lazy ass and care about improving the forums
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - donhuevo: if only you could administrate
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - Mike Kelly: what a concept
    Mar 26, 2015 1:06 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I was reading it when I was waiting for my lcd to arrive
    Mar 26, 2015 1:07 AM - donhuevo: so I'm finally getting around to experimenting with the sugru substitute. About to print the first mold I found on thingiverse (A minnow)
    Mar 26, 2015 1:07 AM - Mike Kelly: neat
    Mar 26, 2015 1:08 AM - donhuevo: we'll see
    Mar 26, 2015 1:08 AM - Mike Glass: Here comes the boom.
    Mar 26, 2015 1:08 AM - Mike Glass: morning
    Mar 26, 2015 1:08 AM - Mike Kelly: mornin
    Mar 26, 2015 1:08 AM - JeffTheMess: good afternoon
    Mar 26, 2015 1:09 AM - Mike Glass: My lcd will be here tomorrow...woot
    Mar 26, 2015 1:09 AM - jbigler1986: Shhhh. Don't let him know we were talking about him
    Mar 26, 2015 1:09 AM - jbigler1986: Did you get full graphics or XXL?

    Mar 26, 2015 1:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: amazon supply does
    Mar 26, 2015 1:22 AM - Mike Kelly: ok good, wasn't sure cause we're changing this HX design
    Mar 26, 2015 1:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: amazon bought "Small Parts" a few years ago to compete with McMaster
    Mar 26, 2015 1:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: But McMaster is the king. Their layout and search are super fantastic
    Mar 26, 2015 1:23 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah amazon search leaves a little something to be desired
    Mar 26, 2015 1:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: And in my area there are enough mcmaster distribution centers that "regular" shipping is next day to a business address
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - Mike Kelly: same
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - Mike Kelly: we get ours from chicago next day
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - Mike Kelly: "ground"
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - Mike Kelly: though their prices are too high for most things
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: agreed
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - Mike Kelly: we have a grainger rep that will price match pretty much anything
    Mar 26, 2015 1:24 AM - jbigler1986: Chicago to Denver next day is pretty fast
    Mar 26, 2015 1:25 AM - Mike Kelly: and so if we can source it from someone, just call up grainger and they'll get it for the same price
    Mar 26, 2015 1:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: the tools we've bought off mcmaster end up usually being a very good brand
    Mar 26, 2015 1:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: snap-on drivers
    Mar 26, 2015 1:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: bench grinder was a Jet
    Mar 26, 2015 1:26 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i have no complaints with mcmaster, but you almost always pay more than a different supplier for convenience
    Mar 26, 2015 1:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: the overall quality assurance is worth something
    Mar 26, 2015 1:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: i just wish i could buy less of some stuff
    Mar 26, 2015 1:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: what am i going to do with 48 extra screws?
    Mar 26, 2015 1:27 AM - donhuevo: when you have a hardware jones though... you need it right now
    Mar 26, 2015 1:27 AM - Mike Kelly: heh
    Mar 26, 2015 1:27 AM - jbigler1986: like your 50 screw
    Mar 26, 2015 1:27 AM - jbigler1986: You beat me to it. Lol
    Mar 26, 2015 1:27 AM - Mike Kelly: we do OEM so gotta cut all the costs down
    Mar 26, 2015 1:28 AM - Mike Kelly: we have an agreement with fastenel where they're supposed to restock our supplies, but the guys an idiot and takes a week to restock so we're out of parts for like 2 weeks at a time
    Mar 26, 2015 1:28 AM - jbigler1986: They are horrible. Have delt with them before
    Mar 26, 2015 1:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: set up a kanban and be done with him
    Mar 26, 2015 1:29 AM - Mike Kelly: our purchaser just needs to be less lazy
    Mar 26, 2015 1:31 AM - jbigler1986: My mother in law works for grainger (bought out E&R industrial) I am just impatient
    Mar 26, 2015 1:33 AM - jbigler1986: I will pay extra for convenience. I wish I was more patient so I can get stuff cheaper.
    Mar 26, 2015 1:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: i'm one zip code too far from Boston to get Google Express

    Mar 26, 2015 1:45 AM - jbigler1986: I have ordered something from amazon a few times around 8am and got it same day around 4pm
    Mar 26, 2015 1:45 AM - donhuevo: next week, the world
    Mar 26, 2015 1:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: they want the post office out of business with their target practice drones
    Mar 26, 2015 1:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish the post office w
    Mar 26, 2015 1:46 AM - Mike Kelly: would go private
    Mar 26, 2015 1:46 AM - Mike Glass: specially with the drones you can get it on a few hours
    Mar 26, 2015 1:46 AM - Mike Kelly: they do not deserve to be federal employees
    Mar 26, 2015 1:46 AM - jbigler1986: Although a huge warehouse that most of my stuff comes from is only 3 hours away. That helps
    Mar 26, 2015 1:46 AM - Mike Kelly: the chicago warehouse
    Mar 26, 2015 1:47 AM - Mike Kelly: main drawback of living in denver, nothing is close

    Mar 26, 2015 1:55 AM - jbigler1986: I like guinness. I don't drink much but when I do it has to have some flavor
    Mar 26, 2015 1:56 AM - donhuevo: I don't always drink beer but when I do, it's Dos Equis
    Mar 26, 2015 1:56 AM - jbigler1986: I was thinking about that. Never actually had one
    Mar 26, 2015 1:57 AM - Mike Kelly: mmm big sky

    Mar 26, 2015 1:58 AM - Mike Glass: its not quite like guinness, less ashtrayish taste.
    Mar 26, 2015 1:58 AM - Mike Glass: You would like this then Down
    Mar 26, 2015 1:59 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah guinness uses very little malt and they just add a ton of dark malts to give in that color without any of the flavor
    Mar 26, 2015 1:59 AM - Mike Kelly: one of the worst stouts
    Mar 26, 2015 2:00 AM - Mike Glass: I like every once in awhile but Drool is my fav by far any dark beer.

    Mar 26, 2015 2:05 AM - Mike Kelly: it really does
    Mar 26, 2015 2:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: just stick to the distilled stuff then
    Mar 26, 2015 2:09 AM - Mike Kelly: not as tasty
    Mar 26, 2015 2:12 AM - josh.2o: does anyone know how to print in ninja flex?

    Mar 26, 2015 2:16 AM - josh.2o: it wraps around the hobble bolt
    Mar 26, 2015 2:17 AM - Mike Kelly: add a feed tube
    Mar 26, 2015 2:17 AM - josh.2o: I made a pen guide witch wasn't strong enough so I made a metal guide witch I can't get to feed
    Mar 26, 2015 2:17 AM - Mike Kelly: for both sides?
    Mar 26, 2015 2:18 AM - josh.2o: yes
    Mar 26, 2015 2:18 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd suggest upgrading to the e3dv6
    Mar 26, 2015 2:18 AM - Mike Kelly: and running a notched PTFE tube
    Mar 26, 2015 2:18 AM - josh.2o: okay thanks for the advice
    Mar 26, 2015 2:19 AM - Mike Kelly: the ninjaflex thread might have some other ideas

    Mar 26, 2015 2:24 AM - Printed Solid: I print with wood on 3mm bowden all the time.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:25 AM - Printed Solid: Pretty sure a few of my customers use 1.75mm bowden.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:25 AM - Printed Solid: wood is fairly stiff and easy to push.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:25 AM - jbigler1986: Hello there.

    Mar 26, 2015 2:40 AM - Printed Solid: hm.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:40 AM - Printed Solid: at least it's a pretty inexpensive part to replace.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:42 AM - Mike Glass: why did you not heat it with a torch?
    Mar 26, 2015 2:42 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. That's why after trying to remove it gently went all out
    Mar 26, 2015 2:42 AM - jbigler1986: Don't have one available
    Mar 26, 2015 2:42 AM - Mike Glass: candle, lighter?
    Mar 26, 2015 2:43 AM - jbigler1986: Tried with a lighter.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:43 AM - jbigler1986: Grill lighter. Used it so long I used all of the fluid that was half full. Wouldn't budge
    Mar 26, 2015 2:43 AM - Mike Glass: did you take the hex screw out?
    Mar 26, 2015 2:44 AM - Mike Glass: all the way
    Mar 26, 2015 2:44 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Had to use an extracor
    Mar 26, 2015 2:44 AM - Mike Glass: wonder if it squashed it in the heatbreak
    Mar 26, 2015 2:44 AM - jbigler1986: Drilled the hole out just to make sure because at that it was fucked anyways
    Mar 26, 2015 2:45 AM - jbigler1986: the thermistor was a pain to remove as well
    Mar 26, 2015 2:47 AM - Mike Glass: I might order a hex to have a backup.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:47 AM - jbigler1986: Plastic seeped into every possible nook and cranny
    Mar 26, 2015 2:47 AM - Mike Glass: Mine did too the other day what a mess that was.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:47 AM - jbigler1986: WHole hex kit or just the main components?
    Mar 26, 2015 2:48 AM - Mike Kelly: I'm teeth are our and in -blam!-er up. Seeing wY or everything. The hate reuse z4. Hitch it's a four. Butch bricking. Live you.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:48 AM - Mike Kelly: this is the best thing i've ever read
    Mar 26, 2015 2:48 AM - jbigler1986: WTF did I just read
    Mar 26, 2015 2:48 AM - Mike Kelly: guy had broken wisdom teeth removed
    Mar 26, 2015 2:48 AM - Mike Glass: then I seasoned it after i cleaned it and it ran another 12 hours no issues.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:49 AM - jbigler1986: Seasoning is a must
    Mar 26, 2015 2:50 AM - jbigler1986: I might as well poured oil on my glass bed the first time I did it. Lol.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:50 AM - Mike Glass: I just dipped a pice in olive oil the put it in a few times, no mess or anything.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:51 AM - Mike Glass: piece of **** typing
    Mar 26, 2015 2:51 AM - Mike Kelly: bet that was smokey
    Mar 26, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: I added an oiler with a cotton swap. I had way way way way to much oil on the cotton swab
    Mar 26, 2015 2:51 AM - Mike Kelly: shit?
    Mar 26, 2015 2:51 AM - Mike Glass: Was extra virgin so no smoke at all
    Mar 26, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: swab*
    Mar 26, 2015 2:52 AM - jbigler1986: they have low smoking point
    Mar 26, 2015 2:52 AM - Mike Kelly: smoke point of 207
    Mar 26, 2015 2:52 AM - Mike Glass: I had it 240 so it just flashed
    Mar 26, 2015 2:53 AM - Mike Glass: some kirkland brand I think
    Mar 26, 2015 2:54 AM - jbigler1986: I used avocado oil
    Mar 26, 2015 2:54 AM - jbigler1986: Smoke point is like 270 I believe
    Mar 26, 2015 2:54 AM - Mike Glass: I tried chucky peanut butter but that didnt work so well.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:55 AM - Mike Kelly: same
    Mar 26, 2015 2:57 AM - jbigler1986: I wonder how good chocolate would do
    Mar 26, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Kelly: my abs prints would taste better
    Mar 26, 2015 2:58 AM - Mike Glass: Hey I want to edit my text.
    Mar 26, 2015 2:58 AM - Mike Glass: how com you can Mike
    Mar 26, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Glass: repus mida
    Mar 26, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Kelly: because i'm special
    Mar 26, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Glass: nimda repus?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Kelly: nimda ekaf
    Mar 26, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Glass: haha
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - jbigler1986: What is happening here
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hello all
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - jbigler1986: Hello
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - Mike Kelly: sup braydon, is it that time?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I guess this will kick off the premier of ask me anything
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: :)
    Mar 26, 2015 3:01 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: it is that time Mike
    Mar 26, 2015 3:02 AM - Mike Glass: How do we get Mkelly a newer model of Robo so he can troubleshoot better?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:02 AM - jbigler1986: Do you plan on adding threaded thermistor of some kind?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:02 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Mike, we can most certainly do this
    Mar 26, 2015 3:03 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: to mkelly. I understand that a lot of the issues may be from previous models and we have made a lot of changes to the machine throughout the process
    Mar 26, 2015 3:03 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: based on customer feedback
    Mar 26, 2015 3:03 AM - Mike Kelly: he secretly just wants it so i stop bugging him for pictures
    Mar 26, 2015 3:03 AM - Mike Glass: Im exposed
    Mar 26, 2015 3:03 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 3:03 AM - Mike Glass: err my printer is
    Mar 26, 2015 3:04 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have talked about threaded thermistor, but the current hot ends we use do not have them
    Mar 26, 2015 3:04 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have been redesigning a hot end for a while now that should solve all major problems
    Mar 26, 2015 3:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: MK is always asking for pictures from weird angles
    Mar 26, 2015 3:04 AM - jbigler1986: The boot is just killer for a lot of people
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: what is the major issues that you all are having?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - jbigler1986: Myself included. I didn't see oozing until it was to late
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: id like to know so I can send this over to my guys and everything can be solved
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: z-ribbing / wobble
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think we have a grasp on a majority of them
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - jbigler1986: ^^^
    Mar 26, 2015 3:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: but i don't think we want to go down that road
    Mar 26, 2015 3:06 AM - jbigler1986: Change the blue leds to white
    Mar 26, 2015 3:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the oozing we found was a slight inconsistency in the hot end. The angles of the hot end tubing meeting the threaded hot end head were not up to standards
    Mar 26, 2015 3:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: not a huge problem, but we redesigned them with an experienced engineer here and the new hot ends will be sealed perfectly
    Mar 26, 2015 3:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: blue LEDs will be white from now on
    Mar 26, 2015 3:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: had that a lot
    Mar 26, 2015 3:07 AM - jbigler1986: Good. Looks cool but not very useful
    Mar 26, 2015 3:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are actually converting to lead screws now and cutting into our margins
    Mar 26, 2015 3:07 AM - Mike Glass: Or make it so you can change the color to white for video
    Mar 26, 2015 3:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: it makes the most sense
    Mar 26, 2015 3:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: The lead screws will eliminate the couplers, which is a reason for wobbling over time
    Mar 26, 2015 3:08 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: or anytime
    Mar 26, 2015 3:08 AM - jbigler1986: Easier access to the extruder without having to remove the case. Like a hatch or something
    Mar 26, 2015 3:08 AM - Mike Kelly: how will you be connecting the lead screws to the steppers?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Glass: dont say HC's
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - JeffTheMess: When will these upgrades be available for gen 1 and 2 users?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: they are attached already
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the lead screws to the steppers
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: ohh, linear steppers, don will be happy
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: they will be available in may
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Glass: linear sweet
    Mar 26, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Kelly: www.omc-stepperonline.com/threaded-rod-nema-17-external-linear-stepper-motor-48mm-body-300mm-t635-x-2-p-225.html like these
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yup

    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: that is it
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Mike Kelly: quite pricey but a hellova upgrade
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yeah in bulk the price comes down
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - jbigler1986: Order enough and they won't be to bad
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Mike Kelly: are you gonna do a mold modification to attach the delrin nuts?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but it is costing us a bit more to our BOM
    Mar 26, 2015 3:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but worth it in terms of reliability and quality
    Mar 26, 2015 3:11 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: which is what we care about most moving forward as a company
    Mar 26, 2015 3:11 AM - Mike Kelly: they're definitely the highest value added upgrade you can do right now
    Mar 26, 2015 3:11 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: correct jbigler1986. everything comes down in price with larger order quantities
    Mar 26, 2015 3:11 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: most definitely. And I think it will solve a lot of customer service issues with quality
    Mar 26, 2015 3:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: actually not think, I know it will
    Mar 26, 2015 3:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: which is worth the extra cost to me
    Mar 26, 2015 3:12 AM - Mike Glass: So hopefully you will sell parts for discount for existing customers?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:13 AM - JeffTheMess: good thinking MG
    Mar 26, 2015 3:13 AM - jbigler1986: My ears are open (well eyes)
    Mar 26, 2015 3:13 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes we will
    Mar 26, 2015 3:13 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we will pass along the discount to current customers
    Mar 26, 2015 3:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: as a thank you for sticking around with us through the craziness of our startup
    Mar 26, 2015 3:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haha
    Mar 26, 2015 3:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we truly do appreciate you all
    Mar 26, 2015 3:15 AM - Mike Glass: We love our Robo's :)
    Mar 26, 2015 3:15 AM - jbigler1986: I sure love me
    Mar 26, 2015 3:15 AM - Mike Glass: I think JB is gonna marry his.
    Mar 26, 2015 3:15 AM - Mike Kelly: that's how you keep the 73% brand loyalty
    Mar 26, 2015 3:15 AM - JeffTheMess: I co-sign that MG
    Mar 26, 2015 3:15 AM - Mike Glass: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 3:16 AM - Robb: What is the exact release date on the R2?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:16 AM - jbigler1986: I don't think my wife would be to happy. She gets mad sometimes as it is. THen I just print here something
    Mar 26, 2015 3:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Thanks guys!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:17 AM - JeffTheMess: I never got an answer last time about warranties will you have protection plans even though its open source for certain parts?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:17 AM - JeffTheMess: I see a lot of 3d companies are starting this
    Mar 26, 2015 3:18 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I wish I can tell you an exact release date for the R2 but according to our project timeline, it will be in July
    Mar 26, 2015 3:18 AM - jbigler1986: Don't use Mattercontrol for R2.
    Mar 26, 2015 3:18 AM - JeffTheMess: Just aswell as bestbuy has it for the robo for their store
    Mar 26, 2015 3:18 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: may take preorders before
    Mar 26, 2015 3:18 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have a 6 month part replacement warranty right now Jeff
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: did you mean additional extended warranties?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, Im the type to buy extra for stuff i love
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - jbigler1986: Extended is a good idea
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - JeffTheMess: even if i dont use the warrenty
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - Robb: will the lead screws be available to order in a kit to upgrade the current printer?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - JeffTheMess: its safe to have
    Mar 26, 2015 3:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yeah ofcourse. We actually have written out a plan for extended warranties through retail channels
    Mar 26, 2015 3:20 AM - Mike Kelly: robb he said they would
    Mar 26, 2015 3:20 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes the lead screws will be available in a kit with a video of how to install. Should be a simple change
    Mar 26, 2015 3:20 AM - Robb: Sorry Mike. Jumpped on a little late
    Mar 26, 2015 3:20 AM - Mike Kelly: definitely curious how the lead screws delrin nuts will transition from the autolevelers/hex nut
    Mar 26, 2015 3:21 AM - Mike Kelly: didn't mean for that to be snarky, robb
    Mar 26, 2015 3:21 AM - Robb: Excited to do that upgrade. Do you have a time frame on when those kits will be available?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:21 AM - Robb: No worries Mike...
    Mar 26, 2015 3:21 AM - JeffTheMess: So what about direct buy from the website here? having 6 months is okay but like many other I am here to stay with robo
    Mar 26, 2015 3:21 AM - Mike Glass: What are your current ties with Costco, any direction or just testing waters?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:22 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like may-ish robb
    Mar 26, 2015 3:22 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are using the lead screw combo now and it works famously
    Mar 26, 2015 3:22 AM - BryZad: Hi Braydon you might have touched base on it bought my RoBo for prop making is there a upgrade to smooth out the Z stryations
    Mar 26, 2015 3:23 AM - Robb: AWESOME!!!! Shut up and take my money!!!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:23 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: direct buy from the website is something we want to do as well and presumably will have it when we release the next machines
    Mar 26, 2015 3:23 AM - Robb: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 3:23 AM - Mike Kelly: yup bry that's the lead screw upgrade we're talking about
    Mar 26, 2015 3:23 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haha robb, I expect the upgrade to be available in May
    Mar 26, 2015 3:23 AM - BryZad: hate when I come in the middle of a convo and feel lost
    Mar 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Mike Glass: Bry that is everyday
    Mar 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Bryzad, email our tech support and they can get out some new couplers to you
    Mar 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Mike Kelly: click the shoutbox at the top and you can read from the start
    Mar 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: should help solve the problem
    Mar 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Mike Kelly: how much do you think the centerness of the Z motors affects ribbing braydon?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Mike Glass: I think the big problem is the HC do not fit the threaded rods
    Mar 26, 2015 3:25 AM - BryZad: I printed some coulper supports seem to help a little
    Mar 26, 2015 3:25 AM - JeffTheMess: are you guys planning to stick with mattercontrol?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: well with the new setup, the tolerances are being way more carefully monitored in manufacturing
    Mar 26, 2015 3:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so I think that will be solved
    Mar 26, 2015 3:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but I do believe right now the centerness of the z motors does affect ribbing slightly
    Mar 26, 2015 3:26 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: We have a software production team in Poland working on our own software but I just do not know how long production will take. We have talked to other software companies but their pricing is incredibly high
    Mar 26, 2015 3:26 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: wouldnt make sense for us
    Mar 26, 2015 3:27 AM - BryZad: what should I email tech support to get couplers
    Mar 26, 2015 3:27 AM - Mike Kelly: bry do a replacement part request
    Mar 26, 2015 3:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: just email them that you are experiencing z ribbing and that you would like to test additional couplers or ask about reccomendations to solve this
    Mar 26, 2015 3:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: they will take care of you
    Mar 26, 2015 3:28 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: or you can do a replacement part request on the website yes
    Mar 26, 2015 3:28 AM - BryZad: cool beans
    Mar 26, 2015 3:28 AM - JeffTheMess: you should expand on your parts replacement page to more than what you guys have that way we can order direct instead of sending emails
    Mar 26, 2015 3:30 AM - JeffTheMess: Last thing a person like myself wants is to go to 5 different vendors to get a part for the robo
    Mar 26, 2015 3:30 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: okay that is a good suggestion Jeff
    Mar 26, 2015 3:30 AM - JeffTheMess: Thanks ;)
    Mar 26, 2015 3:30 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we sometimes solve the problem without having to send a replacement
    Mar 26, 2015 3:30 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but I think adding additional information in there with some pics would be a good experience for the customer
    Mar 26, 2015 3:31 AM - JeffTheMess: right
    Mar 26, 2015 3:31 AM - jbigler1986: Or if people just want to purchase extra parts
    Mar 26, 2015 3:31 AM - JeffTheMess: such as the new
    Mar 26, 2015 3:31 AM - JeffTheMess: e3d v6
    Mar 26, 2015 3:31 AM - Mike Glass: Good parts also, the last 2 times I got rods they were not usable
    Mar 26, 2015 3:32 AM - jbigler1986: To expensive
    Mar 26, 2015 3:32 AM - jbigler1986: Would be nice though
    Mar 26, 2015 3:33 AM - JeffTheMess: the more profit robo gets the better product they will release
    Mar 26, 2015 3:33 AM - Mike Glass: Kracken?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:34 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Mike, what were the issue with the rod
    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - jbigler1986: show the pic
    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think our new hex hot end design will be better than the E3D
    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and have less issues

    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - jbigler1986: will it be able to go bowden?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I truly believe that we have solved any and all of the leaking problems
    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - JeffTheMess: well i just put that as an example im sure you guys are doing great things
    Mar 26, 2015 3:35 AM - Mike Glass: its ugly, I Talked to Harry about the issues, he is aware and is getting it taken care of.
    Mar 26, 2015 3:36 AM - jbigler1986: What will the filament tolerances be?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:36 AM - JeffTheMess: has there been any improvements to the ramps?( just in general, not to say there is anything wrong with it)
    Mar 26, 2015 3:37 AM - Mike Glass: 8825 drivers?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:37 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: +/- 0.03 filament tolerances
    Mar 26, 2015 3:37 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: that is what we are aware of
    Mar 26, 2015 3:38 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: there have been improvement to the ramps
    Mar 26, 2015 3:38 AM - jbigler1986: So anything over 1.78 will be an issue?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:38 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: it should still be fine
    Mar 26, 2015 3:39 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: ramps improvements are just better quality and plugablity
    Mar 26, 2015 3:39 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: more for wiring manufacturing
    Mar 26, 2015 3:39 AM - jbigler1986: That's what I meant with my question. Sorry if it wasn't clear. Would say a filament that had spots up to like 1.85 diameter still extrude?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:40 AM - Mike Glass: I would get a refund on that roll.
    Mar 26, 2015 3:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the nozzle hole is about 2mm
    Mar 26, 2015 3:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so you should be fine
    Mar 26, 2015 3:41 AM - Robb: lol - mike
    Mar 26, 2015 3:41 AM - jbigler1986: Good. That's what I wanted to know
    Mar 26, 2015 3:41 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but our filament tolerances have to be much tighter than that
    Mar 26, 2015 3:41 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: from our supplier
    Mar 26, 2015 3:41 AM - Mike Glass: it was bug in his filament
    Mar 26, 2015 3:41 AM - jbigler1986: Well in a perfect world yes. But shit happens
    Mar 26, 2015 3:42 AM - jbigler1986: I had a spool that averaged 1.9 Mike
    Mar 26, 2015 3:42 AM - JeffTheMess: What you guys doing for wireless?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:42 AM - Robb: yeah... 1.9, i would return that
    Mar 26, 2015 3:42 AM - Mike Glass: Like I said refund
    Mar 26, 2015 3:42 AM - jbigler1986: E3D ran it without issues
    Mar 26, 2015 3:43 AM - Robb: Still a bad filament...
    Mar 26, 2015 3:43 AM - jbigler1986: Even with the .8 nozzle
    Mar 26, 2015 3:43 AM - jbigler1986: Yes it was a bad spool but printed fine
    Mar 26, 2015 3:44 AM - Robb: How many people work for Robo now?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: wireless is almost done actually
    Mar 26, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: want to get it going for the R2 and any future models and possibly as an upgrade for the R1
    Mar 26, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: 12 of us at ROBO
    Mar 26, 2015 3:45 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: now
    Mar 26, 2015 3:46 AM - Mike Glass: So Braydon, what is the best way us as users can promote your product? Shirts, Stickers?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:46 AM - Robb: Great deal on the Wireless... Also congrats on continuing to grow!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:46 AM - JeffTheMess: (if you need compliance work contact me) :)....thats all good stuff
    Mar 26, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I did see the picture of the bug. I have never seen that before!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: craziness
    Mar 26, 2015 3:46 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Thanks Mike for wanting to promote us! Yes shirts and stickers would be great
    Mar 26, 2015 3:47 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah that would be nice
    Mar 26, 2015 3:47 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: send me an email braydon@robo3d.com and I will hook you up. We need to make some more
    Mar 26, 2015 3:47 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: thanks Jeff! We will contact you for the next machine for compliance
    Mar 26, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Glass: Wish you had polo shirts that would rock
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure if it was a bug or not but I will just say it was because I want to think that. Lol
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - Robb: agree on the polo
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - Mike Kelly: mike, harry doesn't really have control over replacements
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we actually do have some extra polo shirts that came off the line not perfect
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and they gave them to us
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - jbigler1986: I would take one for sure
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so that would work
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: email me
    Mar 26, 2015 3:48 AM - JeffTheMess: Or a nice hat would do
    Mar 26, 2015 3:49 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hats would be cool though
    Mar 26, 2015 3:49 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: too*
    Mar 26, 2015 3:49 AM - jbigler1986: How many Robo's have been sold?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:50 AM - Mike Glass: all raise your hands if you own a robo!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:50 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: unfortunately I cannot publicly say exactly how many
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - jbigler1986: Kinda what I figured
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - jbigler1986: Didn't hurt to ask
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: but we have done thousands of machines
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: pretty exciting stuff
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - JeffTheMess: you guys are planning to stay open source
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - Robb: That
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - Shank: Braydon will there be a dual extruder update in the future
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - Robb: that's fantastic!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we will stay open source. There may have to be a shift at some point in the future in order to compete with some of the big guys
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: to bring price points down
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: this will be a pivot down the line if necessary
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: based on the market
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Shank,
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the R1 already has a few dual extruder open source upgrades
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah just dont be snakes like makerbot (did I say that out loud!?)
    Mar 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: from our customers
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - jbigler1986: As long as your software that you use is as good as the open souce ones I would be ok with it
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haha
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: not by any means our plan
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Mike Glass: dont pull a Bree
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - JeffTheMess: please dont pull a bree!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Mike, we would not do that to the degree they did
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - jbigler1986: it's "Makernot"
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Mike Glass: That was harsh!
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: there would be many parts open source and some controlled
    Mar 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Mike Kelly: will you get matt the thingiverse login so he can upload some of the latest parts?
    Mar 26, 2015 3:54 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: matt, email me directly and we can discuss what parts
    Mar 26, 2015 3:54 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and then move from there
    Mar 26, 2015 3:54 AM - JeffTheMess: robo should have there own "thingiverse"
    Mar 26, 2015 3:55 AM - Robb: Roboverse
    Mar 26, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Glass: I thought they were working on it
    Mar 26, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Kelly: they have one in progress
    Mar 26, 2015 3:55 AM - JeffTheMess: the robolab
    Mar 26, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Kelly: makable iirc
    Mar 26, 2015 3:56 AM - Mike Glass: yea the flyer they send with your robo
    Mar 26, 2015 3:57 AM - jbigler1986: R2 should come with a marriage certificate
    Mar 26, 2015 3:57 AM - jbigler1986: That was for you MG
    Mar 26, 2015 3:57 AM - Mike Glass: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 3:57 AM - Mike Glass: and divorce papers..haha

    Mar 26, 2015 3:58 AM - jbigler1986: Hopefully that wouldn't be the case
    Mar 26, 2015 3:59 AM - jbigler1986: I keep seeing this damn ptfe tube on the corner of my desk. Wants me to change my email to out of office
    Mar 26, 2015 4:00 AM - Ravindu:
    Mar 26, 2015 4:00 AM - Robb: Great talking with everyone. Thanks Braydon for setting this up.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:01 AM - Robb: Very excited about the lead screw upgrade...
    Mar 26, 2015 4:01 AM - jbigler1986: You can do that now
    Mar 26, 2015 4:02 AM - jbigler1986: It will be easier with their kit i'm sure. Just saying
    Mar 26, 2015 4:03 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Sorry guys, our internet went down for a few minutes
    Mar 26, 2015 4:03 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: makable.com is near beta
    Mar 26, 2015 4:03 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: will be a freelance platform for consumers to connect with designers
    Mar 26, 2015 4:04 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so if you all have the CAD chops, then you can make some extra dough on the side
    Mar 26, 2015 4:04 AM - JeffTheMess: awsome
    Mar 26, 2015 4:04 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: it will also have a marketplace
    Mar 26, 2015 4:04 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: trying to focus on highlighting the designers more
    Mar 26, 2015 4:04 AM - Mike Glass: nice
    Mar 26, 2015 4:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yeah its a really nice UI
    Mar 26, 2015 4:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think people will be excited to get in there and build out their portfolios
    Mar 26, 2015 4:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: then we can drive consumers to you all for services
    Mar 26, 2015 4:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: heading to a meeting you all. Thanks again for everyone who joined!
    Mar 26, 2015 4:06 AM - jbigler1986: kinda like myminifactory?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I will be popping in here every now and then too but this time every week we will make a tradition
    Mar 26, 2015 4:06 AM - jbigler1986: Thanks
    Mar 26, 2015 4:06 AM - JeffTheMess: great I like that
    Mar 26, 2015 4:06 AM - Mike Glass: Thanks Brydon, awesome news.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:07 AM - jbigler1986: Yes. Nice to see someone from Robo in here
    Mar 26, 2015 4:07 AM - Robb: Thanks Braydon
    Mar 26, 2015 4:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I also want to start cultivating some collab groups on the forums
    Mar 26, 2015 4:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so people can start building things together
    Mar 26, 2015 4:07 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: maybe we can spawn some companies within the forums
    Mar 26, 2015 4:08 AM - JeffTheMess: good idea
    Mar 26, 2015 4:08 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: utilize crowdfunding to help create some success stories
    Mar 26, 2015 4:08 AM - jbigler1986: Like yourself
    Mar 26, 2015 4:08 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we learned a ton from crowdfunding that I think would be beneficial in helping others
    Mar 26, 2015 4:09 AM - jbigler1986: It's a wonderful thing
    Mar 26, 2015 4:09 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah you dont see that everyday thats is really good
    Mar 26, 2015 4:09 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I really think with 3D printing, crowdfunding, the amount of talented designers on the forums, product based companies could be launching from here pretty quickly
    Mar 26, 2015 4:09 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: shapeways to produce final prototypes
    Mar 26, 2015 4:09 AM - jbigler1986: You need a retail store
    Mar 26, 2015 4:09 AM - JeffTheMess: Yes!
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we considered a retail store for a new office...
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: should have made the leap
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hopefully soon!
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: thanks guys
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - jbigler1986: Agreed. Never to late
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: have a wonderful day
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - jbigler1986: You too. THanks again
    Mar 26, 2015 4:10 AM - JeffTheMess: tanks
    Mar 26, 2015 4:14 AM - JeffTheMess: sooo....what should we build first
    Mar 26, 2015 4:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: another 3d printer, duh
    Mar 26, 2015 4:15 AM - jbigler1986: You have it all wrong
    Mar 26, 2015 4:16 AM - jbigler1986: a new and better dildo-generator.com of course
    Mar 26, 2015 4:16 AM - JeffTheMess: you know thats a thing right it was at maker faire last year
    Mar 26, 2015 4:16 AM - Mike Kelly: he literally said the URL
    Mar 26, 2015 4:16 AM - JeffTheMess: they beat you to it jb
    Mar 26, 2015 4:18 AM - jbigler1986: A quick release hotend would be awesome if we could get it secure enough
    Mar 26, 2015 4:18 AM - JeffTheMess: makerbot has that
    Mar 26, 2015 4:19 AM - Mike Kelly: MAGNETS
    Mar 26, 2015 4:20 AM - jbigler1986: Yes
    Mar 26, 2015 4:20 AM - jbigler1986: Wait. My Up Mini used magnets
    Mar 26, 2015 4:21 AM - jbigler1986: But it wasn't just the hotend
    Mar 26, 2015 4:21 AM - donhuevo: my hot end is quick release
    Mar 26, 2015 4:21 AM - jbigler1986: ?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:24 AM - donhuevo: this is a couple incarnations ago, but I'm still using the same clip system... http://i.imgur.com/KLCfv3r.jpg
    Mar 26, 2015 4:25 AM - jbigler1986: Fan still attached to heatsink?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:25 AM - jbigler1986: Or to the carriage?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:26 AM - donhuevo: one on each end of the carriage
    Mar 26, 2015 4:27 AM - donhuevo: this is current...
    Mar 26, 2015 4:28 AM - JeffTheMess: thats pretty fast
    Mar 26, 2015 4:29 AM - donhuevo: taking all that weight off the carriage helps
    Mar 26, 2015 4:29 AM - jbigler1986: Is your Y movinf slow enough. Lol
    Mar 26, 2015 4:31 AM - jbigler1986: Care to share that carrriage design?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:32 AM - donhuevo: it's hard to see but the belt is underneath instead of behind. It would mean replacing both idler ends as well. And my idler ends are set up for dual z rods
    Mar 26, 2015 4:32 AM - JeffTheMess: how much faster can you go
    Mar 26, 2015 4:33 AM - donhuevo: it's hard to see but the belt is underneath instead of behind. It would mean replacing both idler ends as well. And my idler ends are set up for dual z rods
    Mar 26, 2015 4:33 AM - donhuevo: probably not much faster. That's probably 120
    Mar 26, 2015 4:34 AM - JeffTheMess: thats double what I do
    Mar 26, 2015 4:35 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah nevermind. To much work. Lol
    Mar 26, 2015 4:35 AM - donhuevo: haha.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:35 AM - jbigler1986: The one in the picture has the belt behind
    Mar 26, 2015 4:36 AM - donhuevo: older incarnation. That one is on thingiverse. Lemme find it.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:36 AM - donhuevo: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:343995
    Mar 26, 2015 4:38 AM - jbigler1986: Oh man. Not another project
    Mar 26, 2015 4:38 AM - donhuevo: I'll hurry up and delete it
    Mar 26, 2015 4:39 AM - jbigler1986: Lol
    Mar 26, 2015 4:39 AM - jbigler1986: To late anyways
    Mar 26, 2015 4:39 AM - donhuevo: dangit
    Mar 26, 2015 4:41 AM - jbigler1986: I was trigger happy
    Mar 26, 2015 4:42 AM - jbigler1986: Did you buy new bearings or use Robo's?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:42 AM - JeffTheMess: jb probably printing it now
    Mar 26, 2015 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. Nope. Gotta get bowden setup before I do anything else
    Mar 26, 2015 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: That's my project for tonight
    Mar 26, 2015 4:43 AM - donhuevo: I know I reused the original robo bearings but I've gone through probably 6 different carriages now and bought lots of linear bearings along the way.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:44 AM - jbigler1986: I plan on ordering some at some point. Don't know which ones though
    Mar 26, 2015 4:45 AM - donhuevo: oh but wait... That carriage is designed around the E3D v5. No other hot end will fit it.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:46 AM - jbigler1986: v6 won't?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Mike Kelly: v5 is smaller
    Mar 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Mike Kelly: err
    Mar 26, 2015 4:46 AM - donhuevo: nope. the 6 is smaller
    Mar 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Mike Kelly: v6 is smaller
    Mar 26, 2015 4:47 AM - jbigler1986: oh well

    Mar 26, 2015 4:47 AM - jbigler1986: Probably a good thing anyways. I don't need another project.
    Mar 26, 2015 4:47 AM - donhuevo: down the road inspiration then
    Mar 26, 2015 4:47 AM - JeffTheMess: is the 6 thinner and shorter or just shorter?
    Mar 26, 2015 4:48 AM - Mike Kelly: both
    Mar 26, 2015 4:48 AM - donhuevo: tinier every which way
    Mar 26, 2015 4:48 AM - Mike Kelly: check my e3d v6 thread
    Mar 26, 2015 4:48 AM - Mike Kelly: well the heater block is bigger
    Mar 26, 2015 4:48 AM - donhuevo: Mike has a thread for everything
    Mar 26, 2015 4:48 AM - jbigler1986: sits lower than hex though
    Mar 26, 2015 4:49 AM - JeffTheMess: well it may be good pratice for jb on how to modify a design to fit his needs...just saying
    Mar 26, 2015 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Haven't had time to mess with solidworks lately
    Mar 26, 2015 4:53 AM - jbigler1986: might try blender since you can edit stl files
    Mar 26, 2015 4:54 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah but it wont work for precision...its more for looks and fun....If cad had a way it would be great be cad and polygons dont mix
    Mar 26, 2015 4:55 AM - jbigler1986: Surprised you can't with software like solidworks
    Mar 26, 2015 4:56 AM - JeffTheMess: I thought so to when I first started
    Mar 26, 2015 4:56 AM - JeffTheMess: they "are ways" but its a grand hassle to do
    Mar 26, 2015 4:58 AM - donhuevo: I'm more than happy to share the dwg file for it
    Mar 26, 2015 4:59 AM - JeffTheMess: There you go jb
    Mar 26, 2015 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: That would be helpful
    Mar 26, 2015 5:01 AM - donhuevo: just added it to the thingiverse page.
    Mar 26, 2015 5:01 AM - JeffTheMess: well fellas gotta go talk to y'all tomorrows hope we get better ideas than dildos generator
    Mar 26, 2015 5:03 AM - Mike Kelly: body safe plastic...
    Mar 26, 2015 5:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: PEEK
    Mar 26, 2015 5:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: at $700/kg that would be one expensive tool
    Mar 26, 2015 5:04 AM - Mike Kelly: haha agreed
    Mar 26, 2015 5:05 AM - jbigler1986: That's madness
    Mar 26, 2015 5:09 AM - Mike Glass: is it time to go home yet?
    Mar 26, 2015 5:10 AM - jbigler1986: 50 minutes
    Mar 26, 2015 5:10 AM - Mike Glass: your 2 hours ahead of me
    Mar 26, 2015 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: yep
    Mar 26, 2015 5:11 AM - Mike Glass: im still trying to cope with the hour I lost form DST
    Mar 26, 2015 5:12 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
    Mar 26, 2015 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: That kills me for a week
    Mar 26, 2015 5:13 AM - Mike Kelly: i was in vegas when that happened, don't think i'll ever recover
    Mar 26, 2015 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: Only been changing our clocks for like 3 or 4 years. Didn't change them before
    Mar 26, 2015 5:14 AM - Mike Kelly: i hate DST, stupidest thing
    Mar 26, 2015 5:14 AM - Mike Glass: think is like a month for me, I only get 5-6 hours of sleep.
    Mar 26, 2015 5:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i couldn't live like that
    Mar 26, 2015 5:16 AM - Mike Glass: I dont live, Half Zombie
    Mar 26, 2015 5:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: coffee

    Mar 26, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: Curious as to why some people don't come here for easy solutions
    Mar 26, 2015 5:54 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure people really know this exists
    Mar 26, 2015 5:54 AM - donhuevo: where do they go?
    Mar 26, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: some people create a thread when they could get a quick and easy answer here
    Mar 26, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Kelly: tech support
    Mar 26, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: how is the tech support? I have yet to contact them
    Mar 26, 2015 5:56 AM - donhuevo: does Costco have a Geek Squad?
    Mar 26, 2015 5:56 AM - Mike Kelly: i think it's getting better
    Mar 26, 2015 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: Funny story about costco
    Mar 26, 2015 5:58 AM - jbigler1986: Went there to buy a mattress for my son. Sticker said to ask customer service about delivery. I went up there and asked them about it and the lady reaches down and hands we to pieces of paper with random guys' names and number that do delivery on the side. No info about the stores delivery at all. I was like wtf
    Mar 26, 2015 5:59 AM - donhuevo: that is funny. Probably her brother
    Mar 26, 2015 5:59 AM - jbigler1986: I literally just walked out
    Mar 26, 2015 6:06 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 6:06 AM - Mike Kelly: don you saw the announcement about the change coming to the robo right?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:08 AM - donhuevo: no. I've been totally out of touch for a while now.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:09 AM - Mike Kelly: it was from earlier today
    Mar 26, 2015 6:09 AM - Mike Kelly: they're going to linear stepper motors
    Mar 26, 2015 6:09 AM - donhuevo: ha!
    Mar 26, 2015 6:09 AM - donhuevo: love it
    Mar 26, 2015 6:09 AM - Mike Kelly: so your wish has been granted
    Mar 26, 2015 6:09 AM - donhuevo: my wish?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:10 AM - donhuevo: my wish would have been that they were already in the one I bought
    Mar 26, 2015 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: to get rid of HC's
    Mar 26, 2015 6:10 AM - donhuevo: HfnC's

    Mar 26, 2015 6:10 AM - donhuevo: silver lining
    Mar 26, 2015 6:11 AM - Mike Kelly: yup

    Mar 26, 2015 6:11 AM - Mike Kelly: less z ribbing is less troubleshooting
    Mar 26, 2015 6:11 AM - jbigler1986: Would it be ok to zip tie the ptfe tube to the wires or should I let it be on its own
    Mar 26, 2015 6:11 AM - donhuevo: when is that supposed to happen?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:11 AM - donhuevo: ya, don't do the zip tie
    Mar 26, 2015 6:12 AM - donhuevo: tried it and the wires would bend the ptfe enough to bind
    Mar 26, 2015 6:13 AM - Mike Kelly: may
    Mar 26, 2015 6:13 AM - Mike Kelly: he said they'd offer upgrade kits but we'll see on that
    Mar 26, 2015 6:14 AM - jbigler1986: I wonder for how much though
    Mar 26, 2015 6:15 AM - Mike Kelly: probably like 100
    Mar 26, 2015 6:18 AM - donhuevo: still, it's one of the biggest improvements they could've made.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:18 AM - donhuevo: so yay.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:18 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed, that'll make my life so much easier
    Mar 26, 2015 6:18 AM - Mike Kelly: anyone ever encounted a flash drive that isn't being detected anymore
    Mar 26, 2015 6:18 AM - donhuevo: blow the pocket lint out of it and try again
    Mar 26, 2015 6:19 AM - Wikid: I found a great way to help with the HCs, Fill the grooves with silicone
    Mar 26, 2015 6:20 AM - donhuevo: even better and less work... throw them away
    Mar 26, 2015 6:20 AM - Wikid: hehe right
    Mar 26, 2015 6:20 AM - jbigler1986: Yep. Usually the happens after not ejecting it. A format is the only thing I have found to fix it. Should work on another computer though
    Mar 26, 2015 6:20 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i kinda figured, it was weird though
    Mar 26, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: it's not seen on any of the computers i've tried on
    Mar 26, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i've pulled thumb drives bunches of times, never ruined one before
    Mar 26, 2015 6:21 AM - donhuevo: it's clean down inside the plug?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:21 AM - Wikid: how old is it?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: like 2 years
    Mar 26, 2015 6:22 AM - Mike Kelly: i can't find it right now but last i checked it was clean
    Mar 26, 2015 6:22 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's clean
    Mar 26, 2015 6:22 AM - Wikid: Ive had a couple fail but they were all like 2-3 years old and well used
    Mar 26, 2015 6:22 AM - donhuevo: that or broken connection pads is the only thing ive seen stop them from being seen
    Mar 26, 2015 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: Could just be corrupted
    Mar 26, 2015 6:23 AM - Wikid: corrupted would still show up though
    Mar 26, 2015 6:24 AM - jbigler1986: Download mini partition wizard and see if that detects it
    Mar 26, 2015 6:24 AM - donhuevo: you were overdue for a new one anyway... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m_re=adata_flash_drive-_-20-211-764-_-Product
    Mar 26, 2015 6:24 AM - donhuevo: 64Gb and usb3.0
    Mar 26, 2015 6:25 AM - jbigler1986: Corrupt doesn't always show up in Windows
    Mar 26, 2015 6:25 AM - Wikid: NA this is way better http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-DataTraveler-Predator-1TB-DTHXP30/dp/B00E65QM8O
    Mar 26, 2015 6:25 AM - Mike Kelly: eh i don't really mind if it's dead, i have a bunch, just curious
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - Wikid: did you let the smoke out?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - Wikid: lol
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - donhuevo: if you can't see it in diskmgmt.msc, its definitely dead
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - jbigler1986: That doesn't always show it
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i pulled it from a computer, hasn't worked since
    Mar 26, 2015 6:26 AM - jbigler1986: Try partition wizard
    Mar 26, 2015 6:27 AM - donhuevo: only 860 bucks? AND prime! just ordered two
    Mar 26, 2015 6:27 AM - Wikid: used to be a grand for 1
    Mar 26, 2015 6:27 AM - Wikid: its on sale
    Mar 26, 2015 6:27 AM - jbigler1986: Had an external recently that would show up on a pc at all. Partition wizard showed it and I reformatted it
    Mar 26, 2015 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: Wouldn't
    Mar 26, 2015 6:29 AM - Mike Kelly: downloading, slow ass internet
    Mar 26, 2015 6:30 AM - Leon Grossman: Stopping in to say hi. It's been awhile.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:31 AM - Mike Kelly: hey man
    Mar 26, 2015 6:31 AM - Mike Kelly: how's life in chitown
    Mar 26, 2015 6:31 AM - Leon Grossman: Pretty good. I
    Mar 26, 2015 6:32 AM - Leon Grossman: I've spent the last few months proving that, yes, a company could botch a China manufacture of a 3D printer worse than R3D did... ;)
    Mar 26, 2015 6:32 AM - Leon Grossman: I haven't been here much because, the R3D mostly just works now.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:32 AM - Mike Kelly: sweet man
    Mar 26, 2015 6:34 AM - Leon Grossman: In exactly the same way I had to rebuild the R3D from the ground up, I had to rebuild my delta.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:34 AM - Leon Grossman: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:685778
    Mar 26, 2015 6:34 AM - Leon Grossman: R3D was able to improve, I don't think the BI guys have a chance. :(
    Mar 26, 2015 6:34 AM - Leon Grossman: How's Denver?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:35 AM - donhuevo: Werner seems like a good guy
    Mar 26, 2015 6:35 AM - Leon Grossman: He is.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:35 AM - Mike Kelly: it's been good
    Mar 26, 2015 6:35 AM - Leon Grossman: He's put way, way more work into helping me out than he should have.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:35 AM - donhuevo: he's not publicly selling parts is he?
    Mar 26, 2015 6:35 AM - Leon Grossman: Yeah, he is.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:36 AM - Leon Grossman: www.shopspt.com
    Mar 26, 2015 6:36 AM - Mike Kelly: cool delta, though that wiring leaves something to be desired
    Mar 26, 2015 6:36 AM - donhuevo: sweet
    Mar 26, 2015 6:36 AM - Leon Grossman: I literally got it to usable state last weekend. Cut me a break on the wiring. :p
    Mar 26, 2015 6:36 AM - Leon Grossman: Yeah, you're right, that's on the to do list.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Leon Grossman: 6 months from delivery to usability.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Mike Kelly: just gotta bust chops, you should see the underside of my printer
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Leon Grossman: The R3D was about 3.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Mike Kelly: rats nest is an understatement
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Leon Grossman: Hehe. But that's hidden so it doesn't count.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Leon Grossman: The underside of mine is beautiful.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:37 AM - Mike Kelly: except the wires kinda poke out the bottom sometimes...
    Mar 26, 2015 6:38 AM - Leon Grossman: Because that's the only part of my printer I didn't rip apart yet.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:39 AM - Leon Grossman: I've got a Chimera/Cyclops kit on order. Looking forward to seeing how that works out.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:39 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm having trouble justifying the effort of maintaining two printers now.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:39 AM - Leon Grossman: For some reason my R3D doesn't like to reach 240C anymore. I swapped out hot ends.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:39 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm guessing mosfet or power supply.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Leon Grossman: I don't want to spend the money to fix it.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Mike Kelly: could be, or a loose thermistor
    Mar 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Leon Grossman: Nope, I had a spare Pico hot end lying around.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i like the chimera/cyclops, the cyclops is pleasant to use even if it has some nuances
    Mar 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Mike Kelly: oh yeah your pico
    Mar 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Leon Grossman: The new one behaves exactly like the old.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Mike Kelly: gotcha
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Leon Grossman: The only reason I'm dumping the pair of Picos on my delta is that vertical alignment of two nozzles is a PITA
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Mike Kelly: that's whats so nice about the cyclops
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Leon Grossman: That and I want to play with the stainless PLA more and I can get stainless steel nozzles for the E3D
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Leon Grossman: Yeah.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Leon Grossman: You've had yours for awhile.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Mike Kelly: the chimeras pretty good too but just isn't as nice to use
    Mar 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Leon Grossman: I take it, would recommend.
    Mar 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Mike Kelly: granted i was having some extrusion issues with HIPS on my cyclops
