Mar 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Mike Kelly: indeed
Mar 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Mike Kelly: if going dual, there isn't a better option
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Leon Grossman: I've already got way too much into my delta, I figured another $200 couldn't hurt...
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Leon Grossman:
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Leon Grossman: Still just have the R3D?
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Mike Kelly: one of these days i should calculate how much i've spent on my robo
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Mike Kelly: kinda don't want to...
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah you can call it that
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm scared to do so as well.
Mar 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Mike Kelly: it's barely a robo anymore
Mar 26, 2015 6:44 AM - Leon Grossman: I have a very nice plastic frame and some motors that came from Kickstarter...
Mar 26, 2015 6:44 AM - Leon Grossman: I'd guess $1500 or so for my R3D
Mar 26, 2015 6:44 AM - Mike Kelly: heh same
Mar 26, 2015 6:44 AM - Leon Grossman: Pales in comparison to the $3K I have into my $1300 delta.
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Mike Kelly: don't think i've spent that much, but i have spent quite a bit
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i beta tested the cyclops so i got it for free
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Leon Grossman: That's cool.
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Mike Kelly: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/mike-kellys-printer.1681/
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Mike Kelly: my enclosure alone was like ~90
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Leon Grossman: The thing I like about the delta above everything else is that it homes to the top.
Mar 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm tired of accidentally hairspraying my X axis on the Robo
Mar 26, 2015 6:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i have a solenoid probe for auto leveling
Mar 26, 2015 6:46 AM - Leon Grossman: Looking good.
Mar 26, 2015 6:46 AM - Leon Grossman: I ripped the auto level probe off of the delta.
Mar 26, 2015 6:47 AM - Leon Grossman: I am anti-auto level.
Mar 26, 2015 6:47 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/HtgwxCRl.jpg?1 this took forever but was fun
Mar 26, 2015 6:47 AM - Leon Grossman: Of course, with the dial indicator, I can relevel my robo in 5 minutes and not touch it for months.
Mar 26, 2015 6:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i like autolevel granted the i'd rather have a way to manually tram my bed
Mar 26, 2015 6:48 AM - Leon Grossman: Ooh, nice.
Mar 26, 2015 6:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i also revised the hercustruder for duals: http://i.imgur.com/GlUw0u0.jpg
Mar 26, 2015 6:48 AM - donhuevo: Mike, how much does your carriage weigh these days?
Mar 26, 2015 6:48 AM - Leon Grossman: The DB connector is a nice touch for interchangability.
Mar 26, 2015 6:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i got tired of my ezstruders, they were like falling apart
Mar 26, 2015 6:49 AM - Leon Grossman: Interesting. I've had my EZ Struder for the entire time I've had my Robo and not had a problem.
Mar 26, 2015 6:50 AM - Mike Kelly: i think i took them apart too much or something
Mar 26, 2015 6:51 AM - Leon Grossman: Your new cold ends look nice, though.
Mar 26, 2015 6:51 AM - Mike Kelly: and didn't have a secure enough mount point
Mar 26, 2015 6:51 AM - Mike Kelly: it ended up cracking the clear plastic part and the tensioner arm got loose
Mar 26, 2015 6:51 AM - Leon Grossman: The novel feature on my delta is no mount point for the cold ends.
Mar 26, 2015 6:51 AM - donhuevo: my biggest complaint with the ezstruder was having to tie up one hand while loading.
Mar 26, 2015 6:51 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i like that designn
Mar 26, 2015 6:52 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah don's cold end is pretty sweet
Mar 26, 2015 6:52 AM - Leon Grossman: Yeah, sometimes the loading can be tricky.
Mar 26, 2015 6:52 AM - Mike Kelly: changing filament with the hercustruder is kind of difficult
Mar 26, 2015 6:52 AM - Leon Grossman: What is Don's cold end?
Mar 26, 2015 6:52 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm so out of the loop, I don't even know what happened to the R2
Mar 26, 2015 6:53 AM - donhuevo: http://i.imgur.com/62DPnDv.jpg
Mar 26, 2015 6:53 AM - Mike Kelly: R2 keeps getting delayed
Mar 26, 2015 6:53 AM - Mike Kelly: current est is july-ish
Mar 26, 2015 6:53 AM - Leon Grossman: Nice
Mar 26, 2015 6:53 AM - donhuevo: http://i.imgur.com/UjQR4hB.jpg
Mar 26, 2015 6:53 AM - Leon Grossman: Ah, glad to see they're continuing.
Mar 26, 2015 6:54 AM - Leon Grossman: I couldn't find a blog entry, announcement or anything when I went looking.
Mar 26, 2015 6:54 AM - Leon Grossman: Even whatever was announced today was completely unfindable to me.
Mar 26, 2015 6:54 AM - Mike Kelly: just like with their kickstarter, they get over zealous with their timeline
Mar 26, 2015 6:54 AM - Leon Grossman: However, I do know that an unemployed worker makes hands for people with a R1
Mar 26, 2015 6:54 AM - Leon Grossman:
Mar 26, 2015 6:55 AM - jbigler1986: What is a good way to hold spools for bowden?
Mar 26, 2015 6:55 AM - Leon Grossman: Yeah, they still haven't quite worked out the communication/timeline thing.
Mar 26, 2015 6:55 AM - Leon Grossman: On the upside, though, I'll give them marks for improvement compared to some companies.
Mar 26, 2015 6:55 AM - Leon Grossman: For example, solidoodle.
Mar 26, 2015 6:55 AM - Mike Kelly: i just have a bar mounted to my wall
Mar 26, 2015 6:56 AM - Mike Kelly: do you mean axislab?
Mar 26, 2015 6:56 AM - jbigler1986: Hmm. Time to get creative
Mar 26, 2015 6:56 AM - Leon Grossman: Yeah.
Mar 26, 2015 6:56 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah he's awesome, he's opening a 3d printing store
Mar 26, 2015 6:56 AM - Leon Grossman: There was no information actually about Robo3D in the recent blogs.
Mar 26, 2015 6:56 AM - Mike Kelly: if solidworks crashes 4 times in a row does that mean i get to go home
Mar 26, 2015 6:57 AM - Leon Grossman: The inspirational story is cool but gave me no info.
Mar 26, 2015 6:57 AM - Leon Grossman: Yes, I think so.
Mar 26, 2015 6:57 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Mar 26, 2015 6:57 AM - Mike Kelly: axis is playing with his ultimaker 2's these day
Mar 26, 2015 6:57 AM - Leon Grossman: @donhuevo, that's a pretty sophisticated cold end you have there.
Mar 26, 2015 6:58 AM - donhuevo: thank you
Mar 26, 2015 6:58 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/kBRrpuf.jpg did you see my aluminum middle plate
Mar 26, 2015 6:59 AM - Leon Grossman: That looks nice.
Mar 26, 2015 6:59 AM - donhuevo: I tried looking at it but the helical couplers were in my way
Mar 26, 2015 6:59 AM - Leon Grossman: hehe
Mar 26, 2015 6:59 AM - Leon Grossman: Did it make a difference in print quality?
Mar 26, 2015 7:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i have... no idea
Mar 26, 2015 7:00 AM - Leon Grossman: Right now, I'm getting Ultimaker 2 quality and I think I'm at the limit due to belt stretch.
Mar 26, 2015 7:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i did like 5 things at once so i'm not sure what did what
Mar 26, 2015 7:00 AM - Leon Grossman: The absolute worst case is you did not hurt anything...
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it prints better than ever
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Leon Grossman: I don't think frame rigidity is my issue.
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Leon Grossman: er
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Leon Grossman: an issue
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Leon Grossman: for the speeds I'm trying to run.
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Leon Grossman: Bowden and faster speeds may be a different issue.
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm still direct drive.
Mar 26, 2015 7:01 AM - donhuevo: robo speeds or delta speeds?
Mar 26, 2015 7:02 AM - Mike Kelly: crap crap crap i can't open my model without it crashing
Mar 26, 2015 7:02 AM - Leon Grossman: robo speeds.
Mar 26, 2015 7:02 AM - Leon Grossman: I haven't even tried pushing the delta yet.
Mar 26, 2015 7:02 AM - donhuevo: what have you gotten up to on the robo?
Mar 26, 2015 7:02 AM - Leon Grossman: I just run everything I print at 60
Mar 26, 2015 7:02 AM - Leon Grossman: I've done 80 but quality started to degrade.
Mar 26, 2015 7:03 AM - donhuevo: that stepper has a lot of inertia
Mar 26, 2015 7:03 AM - Leon Grossman: I'm running my delta at 60 right now.
Mar 26, 2015 7:03 AM - donhuevo: here's mine doing 120...

 

Mar 26, 2015 7:03 AM - Leon Grossman: the exterial walls of my parts are achieving quality that my Robo can't dream of.
Mar 26, 2015 7:04 AM - Leon Grossman: But, I've got subtle moire due to the delta approximations.
Mar 26, 2015 7:04 AM - Leon Grossman: Smoothie, here I come.
Mar 26, 2015 7:04 AM - Leon Grossman: As soon as Panucatt gets his X5 released.
Mar 26, 2015 7:04 AM - Mike Kelly: that smoothie looks nice
Mar 26, 2015 7:04 AM - donhuevo: I tried to win one of those free smoothies but didn't get one
Mar 26, 2015 7:05 AM - Leon Grossman: Everyone says it's better but I don't know anyone who's used one outside of Werner.
Mar 26, 2015 7:05 AM - Mike Kelly: did you see tom's review
Mar 26, 2015 7:05 AM - Leon Grossman: No
Mar 26, 2015 7:05 AM - Mike Kelly:
Mar 26, 2015 7:06 AM - Leon Grossman: I saw his review of the silentstepstick
Mar 26, 2015 7:12 AM - jbigler1986: Need to print a spool holder.
Mar 26, 2015 7:14 AM - jbigler1986: That clamp that you found works good
Mar 26, 2015 7:15 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
Mar 26, 2015 7:15 AM - Wikid: any here use Simplify3D?
Mar 26, 2015 7:15 AM - Mike Kelly: i use it yes
Mar 26, 2015 7:16 AM - Wikid: I am trying to fix an issue with my infill of solid layers. The first layer doesnt seem to fully fill in, there is a small gap between each pass. Extruder is calibrated
Mar 26, 2015 7:17 AM - Mike Kelly: whats your first layer width set to
Mar 26, 2015 7:18 AM - Mike Kelly: might be too high off the build plate as well
Mar 26, 2015 7:19 AM - Wikid: its not too high in fact it may be too low i can see it squish the layers a little. not sure on width, can i look at my settings when its printing?
Mar 26, 2015 7:20 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Mar 26, 2015 7:20 AM - Wikid: I think width and hight are set to 100% and 50% speed
Mar 26, 2015 7:22 AM - Wikid: so i can leave the little preview mode when its printing over USB?
Mar 26, 2015 7:23 AM - Mike Kelly: i believe so yes
Mar 26, 2015 7:24 AM - Wikid: well Don isnt on so if fails my print the complaint department is closed.....
Mar 26, 2015 7:24 AM - Leon Grossman: Alright. i'm out for the night. It was good checking in!
Mar 26, 2015 7:25 AM - Wikid: yes widht and hight are 100% of the nozzle which is @.4
Mar 26, 2015 7:25 AM - Mike Kelly: first layer width as well
Mar 26, 2015 7:25 AM - Mike Kelly: catch ya later leon, hopefully you stop by more often
Mar 26, 2015 7:26 AM - Wikid: yes
Mar 26, 2015 7:26 AM - Mike Kelly: no clue, i'd need a picture
Mar 26, 2015 7:28 AM - Wikid: hold that thought
Mar 26, 2015 7:30 AM - Wikid:
Mar 26, 2015 7:31 AM - Wikid: mainly the center area, its like each pass isnt wide enough to touch
Mar 26, 2015 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah too high, reduce your offset
Mar 26, 2015 7:31 AM - Wikid: ok
Mar 26, 2015 7:31 AM - Wikid: the Z offset correct
Mar 26, 2015 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: right
Mar 26, 2015 7:32 AM - Wikid: out of curosity, you cant incrase the width more than 100% right?
Mar 26, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Kelly: you can, not sure what would happen though, i wouldn't suggest it
Mar 26, 2015 7:32 AM - Wikid: haha
Mar 26, 2015 7:32 AM - Wikid: how do you like Simplify?
Mar 26, 2015 7:33 AM - Wikid: wow, i just realized I ran these parts with no support for the bridge, haha
Mar 26, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: What is max angle of the filament being fed to the extruder Mike?
Mar 26, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: Trying to figure out a good place
Mar 26, 2015 7:45 AM - Wikid: You just looking for a good place to put your spools?
Mar 26, 2015 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah pretty much. Extruder is going to be mounted on the side of the case for bowden
Mar 26, 2015 7:46 AM - Mike Kelly: it's more the bend radius
Mar 26, 2015 7:46 AM - Mike Kelly: you can smudge it a bit using feed tube
Mar 26, 2015 7:47 AM - jbigler1986: Thinking about printing a spool stand but I think the angle would be to big for the extruder
Mar 26, 2015 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: Would running some of the ptfe tube from it to the extruder help
Mar 26, 2015 7:55 AM - jbigler1986: Probably need to print a filament guide
Mar 26, 2015 7:57 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
Mar 26, 2015 7:58 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5893
Mar 26, 2015 8:07 AM - Wikid: Hey Mike, on the extrusion tab of S3D, do you keep your extrusion width at the same as your nozzele size?
Mar 26, 2015 8:13 AM - BryZad: hey what is the biggest pros for going boden and not direct drive ?
Mar 26, 2015 8:13 AM - Wikid: removes the weight from the carriage
Mar 26, 2015 8:14 AM - Wikid: Helps to reduce the wavyness you see on parts due to a heavy carriage
Mar 26, 2015 8:16 AM - BryZad: hmmm might be a good upgrade then
Mar 26, 2015 8:16 AM - Wikid: The only con that I have seen with bowden is trying to use flexable filaments
Mar 26, 2015 8:17 AM - Wikid: I think people also go to bigger filiment
Mar 26, 2015 8:19 AM - BryZad: 3mm filament more printing a spool ?
Mar 26, 2015 8:21 AM - Wikid: I think they use the 3mm for better stiffness becuase the feeder is has to push the material through the tube withouth binding
Mar 26, 2015 8:22 AM - Wikid: not sure how going to the bigger filiment would affect prints if your used to 1.75
Mar 26, 2015 8:22 AM - jbigler1986: I need to try and design a filament guide
Mar 26, 2015 8:23 AM - jbigler1986: You would need a new hotend too
Mar 26, 2015 8:23 AM - Mike Glass: not hard just a stick with a hole
Mar 26, 2015 8:24 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Need to angle the hole.
Mar 26, 2015 8:24 AM - jbigler1986: Should be easy enough
Mar 26, 2015 8:25 AM - Mike Glass: you can use the hex for bowden. it has a the top m6 screw that you can put an adaptor on.
Mar 26, 2015 8:26 AM - jbigler1986: I meant for 3mm filament
Mar 26, 2015 8:38 AM - BryZad: I have a V6 mike
Mar 26, 2015 8:39 AM - BryZad: and a hex
Mar 26, 2015 8:48 AM - jbigler1986: Can't make the filament guide until this spool holder is done.
Mar 26, 2015 8:48 AM - jbigler1986: Hey MK did that fix your flash drive
Mar 26, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: What r u up to MG
Mar 26, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: oh woops i forgot
Mar 26, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll try tomorrow
Mar 26, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Glass: Finishing reloading this computer, BF4 plays ok on it, but not as good as my i5 laptop.
Mar 26, 2015 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: that's funny
Mar 26, 2015 9:57 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hey all
Mar 26, 2015 9:57 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: quick question
Mar 26, 2015 9:58 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: does anyone know anyone that makes music for videos?
Mar 26, 2015 9:58 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have an amazing customer spotlight video and I need someone who can really pull it together with music
Mar 26, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd look on soundhound
Mar 26, 2015 10:02 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think I need someone professionally
Mar 26, 2015 10:02 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: there is very specific moments that I need the music to reach high points
Mar 26, 2015 10:03 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: its hard to just pick a song that is already out there
Mar 26, 2015 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: that's tricky then
Mar 26, 2015 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: you could find a style you like and contact the artist
Mar 26, 2015 10:08 AM - jbigler1986: I'm not good at video editing. Wish I was
Mar 26, 2015 10:08 AM - Mike Kelly: man i need a 3d scanner
Mar 26, 2015 10:09 AM - jbigler1986: That would be nice. R2?
Mar 26, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: i just can't decide how to model these safety glass
Mar 26, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: stupid complex curvatures
Mar 26, 2015 10:13 AM - jbigler1986: Solidworks is annoying me
Mar 26, 2015 10:13 AM - jbigler1986: blah
Mar 26, 2015 10:14 AM - Mike Glass: Braydon, I know an artist, that is amazing, he does really great remixes, I could ask him
Mar 26, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: Wow Jerry is even here, hey Jerry
Mar 26, 2015 10:18 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: mike that would be phenomenal

 

Mar 26, 2015 10:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I need this work done pretty quickly. We want to release this video
Mar 26, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Glass: Let me see if I can get him on the phone.
Mar 26, 2015 10:21 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: ok thanks
Mar 26, 2015 10:33 AM - BryZad: How you like Bf4 mike ?
Mar 26, 2015 10:35 AM - BryZad: did you see that a guy on mymini factory made a 3d printable rail gun that shoots airsoft ?
Mar 26, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Glass: Love it man,
Mar 26, 2015 10:36 AM - BryZad: from bf4
Mar 26, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Glass: that was cool
Mar 26, 2015 10:36 AM - BryZad: Add me on Origin Bryzad0
Mar 26, 2015 10:37 AM - BryZad: maybe go kill some red guys
Mar 26, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Glass: Well Im telling you know I just started so I SUCK
Mar 26, 2015 10:38 AM - BryZad: hey its more on just having fun
Mar 26, 2015 10:39 AM - Mike Glass: Sent you a request from CoolReactions
Mar 26, 2015 10:39 AM - BryZad: okay I will accept when I get home
Mar 26, 2015 10:40 AM - Mike Glass: Are you on the train..lol
Mar 26, 2015 10:40 AM - BryZad: ha ha nope just working
Mar 26, 2015 10:43 AM - Mike Glass: late shift eh.
Mar 26, 2015 10:44 AM - BryZad: normal shift really
Mar 26, 2015 10:45 AM - BryZad: usually don't get home till 7-8
Mar 26, 2015 10:46 AM - Mike Glass: Braydon, I think he's working a crowd tonight so probably wont hear from him till late. I will email and let you know, or you could send me the details and I could get it to him first thing in the morning, but im sure he could have it done this weekend.
Mar 26, 2015 10:53 AM - Mike Glass: are you west coast?
Mar 26, 2015 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: ok ok
Mar 26, 2015 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes I am west coast
Mar 26, 2015 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: thanks
Mar 26, 2015 11:17 AM - Mike Kelly: is BF4 a major step up from 3
Mar 26, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: Not sure Mike, never had 3..
Mar 26, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: Not huge. But different
Mar 26, 2015 11:39 AM - jbigler1986: I like 4 better. None are as good as bfbc2 though
Mar 26, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: wow is it quiet
Mar 26, 2015 12:27 PM - dbvanhorn: Question: Cloud monitoring in matter control
Mar 26, 2015 12:28 PM - dbvanhorn: How do I set up MC for this? the directions are not very clear.
Mar 26, 2015 12:30 PM - Mike Glass: did you set up an account?
Mar 26, 2015 12:30 PM - dbvanhorn: Yes, and I'm logged in through the browser.
Mar 26, 2015 12:31 PM - Mike Glass: and you not see anyting?
Mar 26, 2015 12:31 PM - dbvanhorn: "Select configuration" of MC or on the web page somewhere?
Mar 26, 2015 12:32 PM - Mike Glass: You have it enabled in MC
Mar 26, 2015 12:33 PM - dbvanhorn: Not yet. "Enable" gets me "Oops Please sign in to enable this feature"
Mar 26, 2015 12:34 PM - Mike Glass: see where it says sign in at the top right hand corner of the screen?
Mar 26, 2015 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. Mounting the extruder
Mar 26, 2015 12:35 PM - dbvanhorn: I never would have found that....
Mar 26, 2015 12:35 PM - Mike Glass: I know right?
Mar 26, 2015 12:35 PM - dbvanhorn: They could I suppose, have put it on the BACK of the monitor if they really wanted to hide it.
Mar 26, 2015 12:36 PM - dbvanhorn: Thanks!
Mar 26, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: No Prob
Mar 26, 2015 12:41 PM - dbvanhorn: This inland PLA filament is working great.
Mar 26, 2015 12:41 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
Mar 26, 2015 12:41 PM - jbigler1986: MK you here?
Mar 26, 2015 12:42 PM - dbvanhorn: Going to try some PETG soon.
Mar 26, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: yea JB
Mar 26, 2015 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: best way to mount the hotend?
Mar 26, 2015 12:48 PM - Kevin Nguyen: hello peoples
Mar 26, 2015 12:48 PM - dbvanhorn: hi
Mar 26, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: WHat do you mean JB
Mar 26, 2015 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: need to mount it to the carriage
Mar 26, 2015 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: What mount should I print?
Mar 26, 2015 12:50 PM - Mike Glass: For bowden?
Mar 26, 2015 12:51 PM - jbigler1986: yeah
Mar 26, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681916/#files
Mar 26, 2015 12:53 PM - jbigler1986: those are for the hex
Mar 26, 2015 12:53 PM - jbigler1986: or does it matter?
Mar 26, 2015 12:53 PM - Mike Glass: No, it has for e3d
Mar 26, 2015 12:53 PM - Mike Glass: it has all of them
Mar 26, 2015 1:00 PM - jbigler1986: missed that part. woops
Mar 26, 2015 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: I have this printed for about a month now..lol
Mar 26, 2015 1:55 PM - tatajer: is chattering along the Y axis normal when autoleveling the last row?
Mar 26, 2015 1:55 PM - tatajer: the bed seems like it's travelling too far but can't physically go that far.
Mar 26, 2015 1:56 PM - tatajer: also I think it's affecting the change filament option as it chatters when you initiate that too.
Mar 26, 2015 2:16 PM - jbigler1986: which jhead do i need
Mar 26, 2015 2:19 PM - TechSupportGo: Braydon, have you checked fiverr for audio yet? There are some real professionals there that have a quick turnaround and cheap!
Mar 26, 2015 2:32 PM - TechSupportGo: https://www.fiverr.com/mellownightz...5a9-0afd-4861-9d66-ef619c84c636&autoplay=true

Mar 26, 2015 2:44 PM - jbigler1986: My shit is a mess right now. Lol. Got my hotend ghetto rigged until this mount finishes. Lol
Mar 26, 2015 3:22 PM - toy: hi
Mar 26, 2015 3:23 PM - toy: can anyone convert a stl to a solid model for me?
Mar 26, 2015 3:23 PM - toy: like stl -> stp ?
Mar 26, 2015 3:31 PM - Wikid: Solid model for any specific program?
Mar 26, 2015 3:32 PM - toy: mastercam prefer
Mar 26, 2015 3:33 PM - toy: im tryin to create a toolpath out of a alien .stl file i got from thingsverse
Mar 26, 2015 3:33 PM - Wikid: I can if the part isnt too complex solidworks does a good job of making solids usually
Mar 26, 2015 3:34 PM - toy: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:579768
Mar 26, 2015 3:35 PM - Wikid: you running it on a CNC? or using the G code to print
Mar 26, 2015 3:35 PM - toy: can u try to convert that file into a stp
Mar 26, 2015 3:35 PM - toy: i have a bridgeport im converting to a cnc
Mar 26, 2015 3:35 PM - toy: so i am teaching myself mastercam
Mar 26, 2015 3:35 PM - Wikid: Cool though i was never a fan of mastercam
Mar 26, 2015 3:35 PM - toy: yeah....
Mar 26, 2015 3:36 PM - toy: i agree with u
Mar 26, 2015 3:36 PM - toy: but im not sure what cam software i should run
Mar 26, 2015 3:36 PM - toy: i got inventor/rhino
Mar 26, 2015 3:36 PM - Wikid: I did more complex stuff which is why i never liked it
Mar 26, 2015 3:37 PM - toy: im gonna set my bridgeport up for 4 axis
Mar 26, 2015 3:37 PM - toy: i got the 3 axis stuff pretty much down in mastercam
Mar 26, 2015 3:37 PM - toy: so i wanted to try somehting harder like the alien bust
Mar 26, 2015 3:37 PM - toy: run it as a 5 axis and output to 4 axis
Mar 26, 2015 3:39 PM - Wikid: step is the same as stp for you right
Mar 26, 2015 3:39 PM - toy: im just trynin to come up with a good work flow.... something like inventor/rhino -> tspline if needed -> zbrush if needed than cam
Mar 26, 2015 3:39 PM - toy: yes
Mar 26, 2015 3:40 PM - Wikid: Sorry no go, its too complext to turn it into a solid
Mar 26, 2015 3:40 PM - toy: do u have rhino?
Mar 26, 2015 3:40 PM - Wikid: Will it not import as an STL? negative

 

Mar 26, 2015 3:40 PM - toy: mastercam will import the stl
Mar 26, 2015 3:41 PM - toy: but it doesnt know what to do with the stl until its a solid
Mar 26, 2015 3:42 PM - Wikid: hmm
Mar 26, 2015 3:43 PM - toy: this is where i am right now...
Mar 26, 2015 3:43 PM - Wikid: yea solidworks will have nothing to do with changing this to a solid
Mar 26, 2015 3:43 PM - toy: i opened the stl file in rhino, reduced the mesh, converted to nurbs
Mar 26, 2015 3:43 PM - toy: saved as iges
Mar 26, 2015 3:43 PM - Wikid: Also i would recommend programming it as a 4 axis and running it that way, youll be happier
Mar 26, 2015 3:44 PM - toy: opened the iges in mastercam, tryin to run it as multiaxis curve
Mar 26, 2015 3:44 PM - Wikid: it should still do it with 4 axis but it will leave some material behind
Mar 26, 2015 3:45 PM - Wikid: same as if it was 5 axis but missing an axis
Mar 26, 2015 3:45 PM - toy: thats what im tryn to do =)
Mar 26, 2015 3:45 PM - Wikid: reason i say that is you could run into issues of crashing. the software will asume the head is somewhere else than where it really is
Mar 26, 2015 3:45 PM - toy: run it as a 5axis and output for a 4 axis
Mar 26, 2015 3:46 PM - toy: do u still have access to mastercam?
Mar 26, 2015 3:46 PM - Wikid: no
Mar 26, 2015 3:46 PM - Wikid: I used HyperMill when I did all my 5 axis work
Mar 26, 2015 3:47 PM - Wikid: doing multiaxis work in CAM software is alot of work especially if your just learning CAM
Mar 26, 2015 3:48 PM - toy: i see that lol
Mar 26, 2015 3:48 PM - toy: i was about to do some simple 4 axis stuff like making a cam
Mar 26, 2015 3:49 PM - toy: i wish i could attach files to thi schatbox
Mar 26, 2015 3:49 PM - toy: chatbox
Mar 26, 2015 3:49 PM - Wikid: hehe
Mar 26, 2015 3:49 PM - toy: skype > chat box lol
Mar 26, 2015 3:49 PM - Wikid: dropbox
Mar 26, 2015 3:50 PM - Wikid: Im trying to make solid models of stuff from a game i play
Mar 26, 2015 3:52 PM - toy: mill or print?
Mar 26, 2015 3:55 PM - Wikid: print
Mar 26, 2015 3:56 PM - toy: got dropbox installed how do i let people download my files?
Mar 26, 2015 3:57 PM - Wikid: if you thow a file in there then right click the file and there a share link button
Mar 26, 2015 3:57 PM - Wikid: then paste it where ever
Mar 26, 2015 3:58 PM - toy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m7ae83ivmvy0gz1/alien reduced.stl?dl=0
Mar 26, 2015 3:58 PM - toy: i reduced the mesh some, can u try to convert this one... thanks
Mar 26, 2015 4:00 PM - toy: do u use zbrush ?
Mar 26, 2015 4:00 PM - Wikid: no, Solidworks still doesnt like it too many surfaces
Mar 26, 2015 4:08 PM - toy: i need more than 16gig of ram lol
Mar 26, 2015 4:58 PM - Wikid: damn for what?
Mar 26, 2015 4:59 PM - Wikid: all those surfaces lol
Mar 26, 2015 5:04 PM - toy: yeah lol
Mar 26, 2015 5:04 PM - toy: converting all those surfaces to nurbs
Mar 26, 2015 5:05 PM - toy: mastercam is generating toolpaths...been about 5 mins ( i reduced the surfaces down to 5000)
Mar 26, 2015 5:23 PM - Wikid: hehe yea
Mar 26, 2015 8:50 PM - jbigler1986: Morning

 

Mar 26, 2015 at 9:10 PM - jbigler1986: Why won't pictures upload to threads?
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:21 PM - jbigler1986: Got it
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:24 PM - JeffTheMess: Good morning to all
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:26 PM - jbigler1986: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/jbigler1986s-printer-work-in-progress.4952/#post-43629
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:28 PM - JeffTheMess: how the bowden setup working out for you?
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:29 PM - jbigler1986: Look at the link I posted
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:30 PM - jbigler1986: I forgot to print a mount for the hotend. I didn't realize it until I had it all setup. I had to zip tie my hotend in place just so I could print the hotend mount, Lol
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:30 PM - JeffTheMess: I saw.. i didn't know you can setup the printer in that format, that must improve your speed
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:32 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. It sounds so smooth. Even without me cleaning up the wires and stuff. I love the cleaner look too. Gotta finish it tonight. I will print another mount too. So it looks better
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:34 PM - jbigler1986: My hotend was at like a 30 degree angle printing the hotend mount that you see in the picture. Heat block was loose. Filament was oozing. I didn't have my fans attached because the zip ties were in the way. It was a mess.
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:35 PM - JeffTheMess: excuse my dumbness but won't that effect the way it extrudes the filament? since your push it from far
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:35 PM - JeffTheMess: Hey, I bet it print better than the stock version
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:36 PM - jbigler1986: nope. not at all
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:37 PM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:38 PM - jbigler1986: there are different extruders that lots of people use for bowden setup. Wade's extruder works fine though
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:39 PM - jbigler1986: only thing i had to buy was the ptfe tube
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:41 PM - jbigler1986: I need to buy some lock nuts instead of the wing nut
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:41 PM - JeffTheMess: the e3d v6 wasn't hard to put on right Ive seen vids looks pretty simple
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:42 PM - jbigler1986: Not at all. The only issue was the wiring. They don't come with connectors attached
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:44 PM - jbigler1986: I like to solder so it wasn't a big deal
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:47 PM - JeffTheMess: I wanna see what the robo team is coming up with...they say the next gen might be better than the e3d v6
Mar 26, 2015 at 9:48 PM - jbigler1986: We will see. They need to have better assembly. The hex is good it's just usually assembled poorly.
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:14 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah thats what I hear aswell
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:15 PM - JeffTheMess: For the most part they do pretty well for a 12 man operation
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:24 PM - jbigler1986: I need a good spool holder that sits on the floor
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:25 PM - JeffTheMess: that should be pretty easy to design
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:28 PM - JeffTheMess: yumm...http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IqB3dJAB8Ws/U-fY4gKpxjI/AAAAAAAACk8/bDM083rZwQs/s1600/20140725_213029.jpg
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:29 PM - jbigler1986: what the hell did they do
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:30 PM - JeffTheMess: wrong power
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:30 PM - jbigler1986: wow
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:32 PM - JeffTheMess: yup always check voltage...ive seen people put 240ac into a 48dc device not pretty
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:36 PM - jbigler1986: I like this one V
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:36 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:683434
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:37 PM - JeffTheMess: thats actually nice
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:41 PM - jbigler1986: Looks like one of the best I can find
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:42 PM - JeffTheMess: how far down will it be? shouldn't matter too much though
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:43 PM - jbigler1986: How far away from the extruder?
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:44 PM - JeffTheMess: your floor to your extruder yead
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:44 PM - jbigler1986: 2 to 2 and a half feet
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:44 PM - jbigler1986: maybe 3 actually
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:45 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah just make sure nothing is in the way of the spool don't want to have it knocked over
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:46 PM - jbigler1986: It's clear of anything
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:48 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah i printed something while I wasn't home my daught thought it may be "cool" to take the spool off and roll it across the floor while printing....lucky she is only three
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:48 PM - jbigler1986: That sucks
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:48 PM - jbigler1986: My kids know better
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:49 PM - jbigler1986: But if they were younger I would have to block it somehow
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:49 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah that was my mistake now its locked up
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:52 PM - jbigler1986: It happens
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:59 PM - JeffTheMess: I wonder what applications robo has for wireless
Mar 26, 2015 at 10:59 PM - jbigler1986: Probably something Matterhackers/Mattercontrol related
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:00 PM - JeffTheMess: if its that mattercontrol touch crap..shaking my head
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:06 PM - jbigler1986: I really think it is. I hope not.
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:07 PM - JeffTheMess: mattercontrol basic has feature such as send text when the print is finished unless they have a live cam on the printer maybe something good
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:08 PM - jbigler1986: Cura or S3D should make a touch control tablet
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:09 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah cura has some really nice features to it
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:11 PM - jbigler1986: Or an app for android/ios
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:11 PM - jbigler1986: Repetier has one I think
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:13 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah that would be better...apps are so popular now it should have been first in line
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:14 PM - jbigler1986: Repetier app just sends messages
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:16 PM - JeffTheMess: honestly thats all you can really do...it not like it would benifit 3d printing
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:17 PM - jbigler1986: Control it
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: YOu can do that via octoprint so I'm sure you could do it with an app. Would need to have a pc or pi connected. But not a big deal
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:20 PM - jbigler1986: I can control my whole pc with teamviewer app. So it's possible
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:22 PM - JeffTheMess: your know about a volcano?
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:26 PM - jbigler1986: I think v6 is still better. Only reason I would want a volcano is to go to 1mm and 1.2mm nozzle
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:34 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah that true
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:48 PM - jbigler1986: I wonder the quality with 1.2 nozzle
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:50 PM - JeffTheMess: stronger but not more appealing depending on what you like
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:50 PM - Mike Kelly: mornin
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: I would only use it for stuff like spool holder and stuff
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: morning
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:51 PM - JeffTheMess: morning
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: You should have seen my ghetto rigged hotend last night mike
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:52 PM - jbigler1986: I have 4 zip ties holding it in place to print the hotend mount because I forgot to print that
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:56 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:56 PM - jbigler1986: Had*
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:56 PM - Mike Kelly: what mount did you go with
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:56 PM - jbigler1986: I think it was yours
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:57 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681916/#files
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:57 PM - jbigler1986: v6 saddle and v6 seat
Mar 26, 2015 at 11:59 PM - jbigler1986: I see you have dual fan holder for dual v6. Care to make one for a single extruder?
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:00 AM - jbigler1986: Single hotend that is
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:01 AM - Mike Kelly: those won't work on the stock mount
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:02 AM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. Duah
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:02 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:285851 these will work with the stock spacing
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:03 AM - Mike Kelly: also just use 2 fan holders
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:03 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:480350
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:03 AM - jbigler1986: Wait. I printed that jhead mount and then the v6 saddle
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM - Mike Kelly: that might work
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM - jbigler1986: I will print the saddle from that link too
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM - jbigler1986: It did work. Hole was just a tiny bit off
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:04 AM - Mike Kelly: gotcha
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:05 AM - jbigler1986: I need to reprint them anyways. Looks crappy bc the nozzle was at like 30 degree angle and I could attache my fans bc of the zip ties. Down and dirty
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:07 AM - jbigler1986: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?attachments/rps20150327_081400-jpg.6807/
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:07 AM - jbigler1986: That's how the mount turned out. Not to horrible considering. Plus it was like 2:30am
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:08 AM - Mike Kelly: heh
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:08 AM - Mike Kelly: you can flip over the seat if you want
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:09 AM - jbigler1986: It has the counter sinks on the top. I just didn't have any lock nuts at the moment

 

Mar 27, 2015 at 12:09 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah those aren't really for that, i mean it'll work but yeah
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:11 AM - jbigler1986: Here is the extruder with your plate http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?attachments/rps20150327_081311-jpg.6806/
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: looks nice
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: broke your cases virginity eh?
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:13 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I did. I said f it
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:14 AM - Mike Kelly: i know that feeling
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:17 AM - jbigler1986: I figured I was going all out so screw it. It was a late night forsure. Still have some cleaning up to do on the wiring
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:17 AM - Mike Kelly: modding is half the fun for me
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:18 AM - jbigler1986: I think i'm done now with modding. For a little while anyways.
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:19 AM - Mike Kelly: famous last words
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:20 AM - jbigler1986: X movements are more smooth and quiet for sure
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:24 AM - JeffTheMess: was that concept around when robo first started?
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:24 AM - Mike Kelly: bowden? yes
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:25 AM - JeffTheMess: I wonder why it was used since everyone that made it loves it...guess finances
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i wouldn't say it's universally loved
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: there's plusses and minuses to either approach
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: direct drive is more versatile so most people use it
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:26 AM - jbigler1986: I usually only print PLA and sometimes ABS so that's why I did it
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:27 AM - JeffTheMess: right it wouldn't work for example ninja flex right?
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:27 AM - Mike Kelly: correct
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:29 AM - jbigler1986: If I would have printed the mount before it actually would have been a very simple mod
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:29 AM - JeffTheMess: I assume jb that wont be using flexible material....or will you( in the future) have a seperate rig for it
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: I don't think there is enough room inside the robo to pull it off but I like the bowden motor mounted opposite the X axis drive
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:30 AM - jbigler1986: I highly doubt i will
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: keeps the weight on each z axis a lot more even
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26963
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: that's interesting but yeah that would be hard to do inside the case
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: Might be able to pull it off at the expense of Z height
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:45 AM - JeffTheMess: I dont think most people would sacrifice build space unless your going to get near perfect results every time with no special add on
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: well if you just got rid of the silly shell it would be easy as pie
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:50 AM - JeffTheMess: your right about that
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:51 AM - Mike Kelly: hey the shell is cool
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: but i'm with you, the main selling point on the robo is the print area
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:52 AM - JeffTheMess: the shell is nice but its just for looks...unlike robo mini design i think its fully enclosed which may help with printing abs
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:53 AM - Mike Kelly: mini won't have a heated bed
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:53 AM - JeffTheMess: ahh.. ignore what I said then
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:54 AM - JeffTheMess: see what Jb did he did an upgrade where no build space was sacrificed but improved on speed and stability
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:55 AM - Mike Kelly: provided you have the external volume and don't mind something sticking off the enclosure
Mar 27, 2015 at 12:57 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah that is true too...but its the inside that count
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:00 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:00 AM - Mike Kelly: you actually gain some build volume with bowden as well
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:08 AM - JeffTheMess: really how much?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:08 AM - JeffTheMess: see im learning something from you guys didnt know what the heck a bowden was before here
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:09 AM - Mike Kelly: not a whole lot, maybe 10mm
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: hey guys
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: Facing a very annoying issue
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: my prints.. after 3-4 hours
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: for a long print..
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: just stop
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: i mean printer doesnt move
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:18 AM - nikhil bhansali: i need to restart the printer, matter controller to get it to respond again
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:19 AM - nikhil bhansali: any idea what's wrong?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:19 AM - nikhil bhansali: thanks a lot for your help!
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:19 AM - nikhil bhansali:
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd suggest printing from SD for prints longer than 2 hours
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:19 AM - nikhil bhansali: is it happening to anyone else? the printer just stopping after long prints?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:19 AM - nikhil bhansali: oh
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Mike Kelly: http://wiki.mattercontrol.com/Export_to_SD
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - nikhil bhansali: why is that?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a computer issue
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - nikhil bhansali: as in?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Mike Kelly: they lose communication with the arduino for some reason
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - nikhil bhansali: oh
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Mike Kelly: not every computer does it
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Mike Kelly: hard to say exactly why
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - nikhil bhansali: but exporting to sd itself is so long.. I have a macbook air
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - nikhil bhansali: *itself takes a long time
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - Mike Kelly: na
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - Mike Kelly: it's easy
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - Mike Kelly: just follow the instruction
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - nikhil bhansali: ok
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:21 AM - nikhil bhansali: will try
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:22 AM - nikhil bhansali: thanks a lot again mike
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:22 AM - Mike Kelly: sure
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:22 AM - Mike Kelly: gl
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:24 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey mike on that subject is there a way to stop a print while using the sd card, for example on a failing print?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:25 AM - jbigler1986: Which software?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Mike Kelly: uh
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i dunno MC is a POS so i don't use it
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd just kill the power personally
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:25 AM - jbigler1986: MC yes. Just click cancel
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:26 AM - jbigler1986: Repetier the same. Click stop
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:26 AM - JeffTheMess: well if you have it connected directly to the laptop but that cant work with sd card
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:26 AM - JeffTheMess: no laptop conected
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:26 AM - jbigler1986: Another reason why you need an LCD screen
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:26 AM - Mike Kelly: ^
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:26 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah thats true
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:28 AM - Mike Kelly: someone on the facebook owners group posted this "Who has the largest bed on their Robo?"
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:28 AM - Mike Kelly: W-HAT
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:29 AM - jbigler1986: The same as everybody elses. Lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:29 AM - jbigler1986: Unless some one modified the crap out of it
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:29 AM - JeffTheMess: at that point its not a robo anymore
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:29 AM - Mike Kelly: seriously that would be a tremendous pita
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:29 AM - Mike Kelly: and you'd probably have a seasaw effect going on
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:30 AM - jbigler1986: It would not be worth it at all
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:31 AM - nikhil bhansali: they may be talking about some other robo not the robo 3d
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:31 AM - JeffTheMess: no other printer can have that honor
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:35 AM - jbigler1986: Or unless someone just put a bigger bed on it for some weird reason
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:35 AM - jbigler1986: By that I mean glass bed
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:36 AM - JeffTheMess: wait not a twin size!? lol

 

Mar 27, 2015 at 1:39 AM - jbigler1986: Lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:44 AM - jbigler1986: Hey MK how hard do you think it would be to make a quick release mount? Doesn't have to be spring loaded. Can be locked in with a lever or something
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:44 AM - Mike Kelly: not too hard
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:44 AM - Mike Kelly: just not something i've been interested in having
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: Quick release mount = electric driver
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:45 AM - jbigler1986: I was just curious if you thought it would be difficult or not
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:46 AM - Mike Glass: sup boyz
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:46 AM - Mike Kelly: na just need to find a way to mount it securely
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:46 AM - Mike Kelly: yo
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:47 AM - jbigler1986: Hello there
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:47 AM - Mike Glass: long time no see
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:47 AM - Mike Glass: at least 12 hours
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:48 AM - jbigler1986: nope
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:49 AM - Mike Glass: ohh toys are arriving today.
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:49 AM - jbigler1986: Anything besides LCD?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:50 AM - Mike Glass: 50 some bearings..lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:50 AM - Mike Glass: 3 rolls of filament
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:50 AM - Mike Glass: new lights for the robo
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:50 AM - jbigler1986: Nice
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:51 AM - jbigler1986: I forgot I ordered filament. Woops
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:51 AM - Mike Glass: Cant believe I blew through 2 rolls in three days
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:51 AM - JeffTheMess: wow
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:52 AM - jbigler1986: .8 nozzle will do that.
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:52 AM - Mike Glass: No that was with my .4
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:52 AM - jbigler1986: could you imagine 1.2
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:52 AM - jbigler1986: wow
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:53 AM - Mike Glass: I have 15 more parts to print for the cnc so probably another 2 rolls.
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:53 AM - jbigler1986: Hopefully no more fails
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:53 AM - jbigler1986: Here ya go MG http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?attachments/rps20150327_081311-jpg.6806/
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:53 AM - Mike Glass: Im not touching anything thats for sure
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:54 AM - Mike Glass: aahhh you case killer..lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:54 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. She is still breathing
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:55 AM - jbigler1986: I wish I took a pic of my zip tie hotend. You would have laughed
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:55 AM - Mike Kelly: 50 bearings? why
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:55 AM - Mike Glass: so bowden is working now?
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:56 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I printed the hotend mount with it. (with my zip tied hotend) http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?attachments/rps20150327_081400-jpg.6807/
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:56 AM - Mike Glass: The cnc requires 53 of them.
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:56 AM - Mike Kelly: geez
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:56 AM - jbigler1986: Well that makes sense
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:57 AM - jbigler1986: That is a crap ton of bearings though
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:57 AM - Mike Kelly: ^
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:57 AM - Mike Glass: cheap enough though, only $27
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:58 AM - Mike Kelly: what kind of bearings?
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:02 AM - jbigler1986: Did you get an email about your Robo on the way yet?
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:04 AM - Mike Kelly: lol yeah right
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:04 AM - jbigler1986: Question for you genius'
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:07 AM - Mike Kelly: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAiBU/etx0iwMyG0Q/w571-h859-no/DSC_0978.JPG
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:07 AM - Mike Kelly: neat
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:07 AM - jbigler1986: v6 comes with the screw for the thermistor. Could I tap the thermistor hole on the v5 block and use it with that
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:09 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:09 AM - Mike Kelly: sure
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:09 AM - Mike Glass: Mike they are 608Z bearings
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:10 AM - Mike Kelly: gotcha
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:10 AM - Mike Kelly: that's kinda what i was thinking for that price
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:11 AM - Mike Glass: just skateboard bearings
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:12 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:15 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.frys.com/product/8394507?site=sa:adpages page:P115_SUN date:032215
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:16 AM - jbigler1986: Could hide that is so many places
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:16 AM - Mike Glass: holy crap that is cheap
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:16 AM - Mike Kelly: man i really don't want to work today, wanna go home and make things
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:17 AM - Mike Kelly: that would be a nice HTPC
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:17 AM - Mike Glass: oh I Thought it said ssd..boooo
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:17 AM - Mike Glass: EWW MC
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:18 AM - Mike Kelly: fixed
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:18 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:19 AM - Mike Glass: with windows 8.1 that is still not a bad price
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:20 AM - Mike Glass: even comes with a mouse and keyboard
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:20 AM - jbigler1986: Nope. Not bad
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:21 AM - Mike Glass: Mount it on the side of the robo
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:21 AM - Mike Kelly: that would use a lot less power than my current desktop
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:21 AM - jbigler1986: would need a screen as well
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:23 AM - jbigler1986: I hate it when I find a good deal and then try and create uses for it. Lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:26 AM - jbigler1986: Wonder if I could get Ubuntu touch to work with octoprint
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:30 AM - jbigler1986: Or maybe I should just get a touchscreen for my pi
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:31 AM - Mike Kelly: all good options
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:37 AM - jbigler1986: or just leave it be and not create more projects. Lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:38 AM - jbigler1986: Probably the best option
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:38 AM - jbigler1986: Did you get your wiring yet?
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:39 AM - Mike Kelly: i did get the bits yesterday but spent the whole night designing
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:39 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to get some prototype designs off by the 31st
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:45 AM - jbigler1986: That doesn't sound like fun
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:46 AM - jbigler1986: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:724096
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:46 AM - jbigler1986: Pretty cool
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:46 AM - Mike Kelly: it's fun just kinda stressful
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:47 AM - BryZad: mike G are you around ?
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:47 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that fruit tree is fun
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:48 AM - BryZad: mike K I started another prop weapons build The DmR from reach you guys interested in that build ?
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:49 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm always interested to see what people are making
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:50 AM - BryZad: cool will post some updates
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:51 AM - Mike Kelly: so tired of seeing hydrogen (coal) powered vehicles
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:52 AM - BryZad: when I get internet back up at my house had my modem go out
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:52 AM - Mike Kelly: ouch
Mar 27, 2015 at 2:55 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: I don't know what toyota's fascination with hydrogen is
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:08 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a whole smoke and mirror tactic
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:08 AM - Mike Kelly: fuel cells are great, but you'd be better off running them with methanol
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:10 AM - Stephen Capistron: Methanol is pretty nasty stuff
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:10 AM - Mike Kelly: i disagree
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:10 AM - Mike Kelly: it's poisonous, but don't drink it
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: my favorite hydrogen source is natural gas, because for some reason it doesn't make more sense to just burn the natural gas?

 

Mar 27, 2015 at 3:11 AM - Mike Kelly: transporting gas is a pita and not worth it
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:11 AM - Mike Kelly: liquid fuels always win out
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: right. It is all about energy density
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: you can compress a gas to a liquid, but that process is not free
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:13 AM - Mike Kelly: methane is also very difficult to turn liquid
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:14 AM - Mike Kelly: then you need a specialized container
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:15 AM - Mike Glass: yea Bryzad
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:16 AM - BryZad: hey was going to accept you request on origin but got home and my internet modem died
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:17 AM - BryZad: just so you know that I am not ignoring you lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:18 AM - Mike Glass: lol no problem.
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:36 AM - Mike Kelly: don't let mike fool you, he was very broken up about this
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:38 AM - jbigler1986: by "was" he means "is"
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:44 AM - jbigler1986: Anybody tried sainsmart filament?
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:45 AM - Mike Glass: Yea, I have black abs, thats what I did my batman budah with.
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:45 AM - toy: just get that little guy from mad max to help u....
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:49 AM - toy: btw....my bearings came in http://www.sears.com/vxb-pack-of-4-...-SPM6088051604?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:50 AM - toy: and they seem to be alot better than the ebay lmu's
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:50 AM - jbigler1986: are those for your cnc?
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:51 AM - toy: for my all metal robo printer im making
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:51 AM - toy: and my legend pack is finally shipped after 3months =\
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:51 AM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. I remember seeing that picture. How much more stuff do you need
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:52 AM - toy: im gonna do some milling in a little bit once i drink my coffee
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:52 AM - toy: so most of the parts are custom
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:54 AM - jbigler1986: sounds like a hell of a project
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:54 AM - Mike Glass: haha they list those under auto safety.. WTF
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:54 AM - toy: sears =)
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:55 AM - toy: at least they stepped up their online game
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:55 AM - Mike Glass: jb, can you PM what changes for the grapics lcd I need.
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:55 AM - jbigler1986: they had to do something. B&M are not doing well
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:55 AM - jbigler1986: I sure can
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:55 AM - toy: and shipped pretty fast about 4 days from purchase to delivery
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:57 AM - Mike Glass: Why did you use LME8UU's is there nothing better, as I hate those things
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:57 AM - toy: price
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:57 AM - toy: i couldnt justify 25$ a bearing x 12
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:58 AM - toy: but so far they seem pretty smooth, havent really broken them in yet
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:58 AM - Mike Glass: I guess if you are building the same carriage setup as the robo
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:58 AM - toy: these bearings OD is 16mm
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:59 AM - toy: robo bearings OD 15mm
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:59 AM - Mike Glass: extra metal or extra plastic?
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:59 AM - toy: makes it easier to press fit with 16mm 5/8" drill
Mar 27, 2015 at 3:59 AM - toy: all aluminum
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:00 AM - toy: actuallly the carriage / x asis doesnt use shafting
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:00 AM - toy: but a miniature tsk linear rail
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:01 AM - toy: opps... thk linear rail
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:02 AM - jbigler1986: PM sent
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:06 AM - Mike Glass: things that make say hmmmmm. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:744006
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:08 AM - jbigler1986: I want one that detects jams too. Not just filament runout
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:09 AM - Mike Glass: I think this would as it actually detects movement
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:09 AM - toy: http://imgur.com/zlZmfPc soon to be x-axis
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:09 AM - Mike Glass: or maybe not..not sure
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:13 AM - toy: mike, what i will do is make an adapter plate to mount the legend pack to the slider (no need for carriage)
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:16 AM - Mike Glass: 1030?
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:16 AM - jbigler1986: MG does that PM make sense?
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:16 AM - toy: 1030 and 1010
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:17 AM - Mike Glass: What File do I need to Change. thats all I need to know.

Mar 27, 2015 at 4:18 AM - jbigler1986: configuration.h to be exact
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:19 AM - toy: http://stores.ebay.com/industrialpartsshop/ really good condition used motion parts
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:21 AM - Mike Glass: ok, thanks, still waiting for Fedex.
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:25 AM - jbigler1986: np
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:55 AM - Mike Glass: Woot stuff is here, im headed homebound.
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:56 AM - jbigler1986: let the fun begin
Mar 27, 2015 at 4:56 AM - toy: what did u get?
Mar 27, 2015 at 5:03 AM - jbigler1986: he got filament, lcd screen, white lights and I think bearings
Mar 27, 2015 at 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: and a makernot
Mar 27, 2015 at 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: jk
Mar 27, 2015 at 5:20 AM - Mike Kelly: i have no idea why my rep2 refuses to print ABS
Mar 27, 2015 at 5:20 AM - Mike Kelly: it's so frustrating,
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:02 AM - Mike Glass: its possesed
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:05 AM - jbigler1986: Mine warps like crazy. Damn ABS
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:05 AM - jbigler1986: I put a box over it and it still warped. To hell with ABS
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:08 AM - Mike Glass: ok what lcd mount do I need.
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: it's not even warping, just like under extruding
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if it needs a new hobbed gear
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:11 AM - Mike Glass: how do they go bad?
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:12 AM - Mike Kelly: no clue, but i just don't know what else would cause it to under extrude so badly
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:15 AM - Mike Glass: clog?
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:16 AM - Mike Kelly: perhaps
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:17 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm gonna try again with some PLA, see if it prints better
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish they didn't shut down the makerbot owners group on google
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:31 AM - jbigler1986: Before you print a mount hook it up and see how much play you have
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:34 AM - Mike Glass: Play?
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:35 AM - jbigler1986: Length of wire whatever you want to call it
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:35 AM - jbigler1986: I can't even mount mine on the front unless on the very bottom
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:36 AM - Mike Glass: Yea, going to extend the cables
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:47 AM - Mike Glass: its long enought to sit on the side that works for me.
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:47 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah that's how I have mine
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:48 AM - Mike Glass: yea my desk is long and I see that side from my chair
Mar 27, 2015 at 6:52 AM - Mike Glass: ok uploading now
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:05 AM - Mike Glass: ok where do I need to put the UG library
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:08 AM - jbigler1986: Go to file, libraries then add library
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:08 AM - jbigler1986: I think that's it
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:09 AM - Mike Glass: yea found it
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:09 AM - Mike Glass: still getting an error
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: What error?
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:15 AM - Mike Glass: Im reimporting it from the zip now see what happens
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:16 AM - Mike Glass: That worked, not sure if I imported the one I had before correctly.
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: Good
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:21 AM - jbigler1986: Should work right away
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:23 AM - Mike Glass: yep working now , what is the trim pot for?

 

Mar 27, 2015 at 7:23 AM - Mike Glass: the contrast sucks on this
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: Change the contrast. Mine is bright
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:29 AM - Mike Glass: I did, its bright but just a wierd angle to see it correctly
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: I have like a angled stand on mine
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:39 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if that's cause it's the cheap version
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: Mine is fine. I think he got the same one I do
Mar 27, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Mike Kelly: what are some forum features we want
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:02 AM - Stephen Capistron: bookmarking?
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Glass: members in chat box to stop updating every second.
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, just eliminate that thing
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: at least one new robo model distributed to at least one loyal forum member
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: then there will be at least one "expert" in each model
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:14 AM - jbigler1986: Ha. Let's keep pressuring them. Eventually he will get it
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: its not like they get nothing from MK getting one
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: instant expert in the R2
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: he'll have it in pieces on his workbench in no time
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: Agreed. If someone from Robo was in the forums and chat all of the time it would be different. But they aren't
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:18 AM - Mike Glass: Case for graphics is printing now
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: Which one did you go with
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:20 AM - Mike Glass: Im just printing the faceplate, havent decided on the back yet.
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:22 AM - jbigler1986: Did you get the right one? There are several different models of the full graphics
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:24 AM - Mike Glass: ?
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:25 AM - Mike Glass: yea it is
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Mike Glass: how thick is this thing, holy hell
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:31 AM - jbigler1986: Pretty thick
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: Got my hotend removed. About time to clean up the wiring
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Wikid: Anyone use Harringbone gears on their Robo?
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:20 AM - Mike Glass: I have them printed but not on yet
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Mike Glass: Wonder if I shouldn't done it at 100% infill JB
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Ben R: i use herringbone gears
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Ben R: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:678504
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: works great, real quiet.
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: pet is very quiet. no clack
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Bill Monroe: i have herringbone.. in PLA on thos extruders
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Bill Monroe: thos = both
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:39 AM - Bill Monroe: extruder gears dont move fast enough to make noise
Mar 27, 2015 at 9:56 AM - tatajer: any idea on how to solve the bed moving too far causing skipping/chattering when auto leveling?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:15 AM - tatajer: here's the Video of the issue:
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Ben R: in herringbone maybe they don't move enough to make noise.. my originals made a racket
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: That looks perfectly normal to me
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Ben R: yea... fix your y axis. Youre hitting the end stop
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Ben R: er.. not.. you're going past the end
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: I guess I didn't look close enough
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Ben R: prolly have your heat bed wire hitting your y axis switch
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Ben R: that would make your robo think you are a bit more back than you actually are. then when it goes all the way back... it runs into the end of travel
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Mike Glass: ouch
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:21 AM - tatajer: Not sure how to fix Y axis bed travel. when it homes it goes forward, hits the switch does the first 6 points fine. then just goes too far. This has been happening since I got it, thought it was normal until I tried the filament change, and did the same grind.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:26 AM - jbigler1986: Sounds like you have something loose too
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:27 AM - tatajer: prints are perfect, gone through almost a whole spool with no tweaks, so I don't think anything is loose.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Mike Glass: maybe the switch not working?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:29 AM - jbigler1986: You can hear something. Maybe the fan ducts are a little loose. I definitely hear something though
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:30 AM - tatajer: switch works at the start, there's no switch to stop it from going to too far? :
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:30 AM - tatajer: you can hear it click and stop the bed.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Mike Glass: what software your you using?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:32 AM - tatajer: Matter Control
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Glass: That doesnt suprise me
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Glass: Have you upgraded the firmware on your robo
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:34 AM - Mike Glass: and not talking through Matter Control
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:34 AM - tatajer: yes, and added the graphics display. Note that this was happening before and after firmware. I thought it was normal
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:34 AM - tatajer: printing directly from graphics display SD card slot does the same thing.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Glass: Hmm, I would set up a call with support, could be a bad y driver.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Glass: sounds like your steps are off
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:35 AM - tatajer: ok thanks, will do.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 AM - tatajer: Definitely want to get the change filament alarm going on this thing, and won't work until I fix this.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:37 AM - Mike Glass: I just hooked up display, printing case for it now.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:38 AM - jbigler1986: Convenience
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:38 AM - Mike Glass: I printed it perfect with abs
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:39 AM - Bradf80: tatajer is the ribbon cable pulled out from under the bed? I couldn't see it sticking out of the backside of the machine like mine is.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:40 AM - tatajer: @Bradf80: yes. pulled out not interferring at all.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:40 AM - Ben R: G 29 will not be effected by the software front end
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:40 AM - Mike Glass: wonder why the framerate is not reading the same on the LCD
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:41 AM - tatajer: this is what led me to Y-axis grind was not normal (tried a change filament): https://flic.kr/p/rvxDvx
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:43 AM - jbigler1986: Did you move the x axis during the change?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:44 AM - Ben R: looks like it
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Ben R: grinding anything is not normal
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Ben R: it should be quiet and smooth.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM - jbigler1986: Only do z up and down
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Ben R: just the whir of motors... quietlyish
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Bradf80: Mine kind of sings a few different musical notes as it's printing lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Ben R: I think that is dependent on the stepper/breakin of stepper and potentiometer
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Bradf80: tatajer, have you double checked the bed size is correct?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Ben R: bed size wouldn't matter
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Ben R: G29 doesn't care
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Ben R: I don't think it cares.. fairly certain it doesn't care
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Bradf80: It would if the machine thinks the center is not where it actually is I would think
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Ben R: cept g29 is being run by your firmware
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Ben R: not your software
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:48 AM - tatajer: bed size 228x254, print center 114,127
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:48 AM - Bradf80: good numbers, have you updated the firmware to the latest?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Ben R: #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 15 #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 200 #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION 240 #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 20
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Ben R: see... doesn't care
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Ben R: #define ABL_PROBE_PT_1_X 15 #define ABL_PROBE_PT_1_Y 15 #define ABL_PROBE_PT_2_X 220 #define ABL_PROBE_PT_2_Y 15 #define ABL_PROBE_PT_3_X 115 #define ABL_PROBE_PT_3_Y 240
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:50 AM - tatajer: updated it about 2-3 weeks ago so I could use the graphics display.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Ben R: Unless you changed the G29, your bed isn't working right
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Ben R: does it grind when you home it?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:51 AM - tatajer: grinds when it does the auto-level routing. when you home it in matter control (clicking the house icon) does not.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:51 AM - tatajer: routine*
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Ben R: and you're sure that there's nothing getting in the way.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Ben R: the hot bed wire isn't halting progress towards the rear
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - tatajer: 100%

 

Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Ben R: it does it all the time
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Bradf80: yeah that's what I asked him first
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Ben R: or towards the front rather
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - tatajer: i'll remove the bed and have another look
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Ben R: I mean, it has to be, unless the steps are wrong
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Bradf80: when they ship these things the ribbon cable is shoved under the bed
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Ben R: or you changed the G29 script or changed the bed physically
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Ben R: if it ever did. I suppose it could be assembled wrong
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Bradf80: It could be the drive belt slipping?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Ben R: it could, but why just there
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Bradf80: missing tooth?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Ben R: the y belt doesn't get tight at the end like the x belt does on the right side
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Ben R: yes.. it could be damaged at that point from a previous stripping
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Ben R: or loose and damaged
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Ben R: so.. 3 possibilities in reality
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Ben R: but the most likely is that it is not traveling the entirety of its distance due to the y switch being depressed too early.. such as by a bound cable.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Ben R: I have the old one with the wire loom not ribbon cable. it kinks over and hits the switch.. then it doesn't have 240mm to move.. it only has like 230
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:56 AM - tatajer: looking into it...
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Bradf80: I had the vertical movement jam on me the other day. I tore the machine down and didn't find anything, put it back together and it's been working perfect since. No idea what caused it. I guess sometimes they need a little dusting off, removal and reinstallation bahaha
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Ben R: it can get stuck.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Ben R: make sure your threaded rods are lubed with a light oil/grease (I push gun lube and 3 in 1)
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Ben R: if your axis is so crooked as to jam, you'd likely notice it.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Bradf80: I love 3in1 I use it for the PLA oiler too lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Ben R: hmm
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Ben R: is it good for that? I wonder. The idea on the canola is to season. 3 in one is probably too high a temperature for that
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Ben R: it would physically work.. but
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:00 AM - Bradf80: I dunno, I don't get any jams. Been printing non stop for days. Building under cabinet kitchen tablet mounts for people
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:00 AM - tatajer: removed/re-assembled... I finally see where it could get caught... it's not at the switch, but where the black base is. heating up and will try again.
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Ben R: cool
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Bradf80: You should just be able to use the manual controls to move the bed to wear it grinds no?
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Ben R: no..
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Ben R: he has to know where its going
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Ben R: he grinds when trying to find y240
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Ben R: grinds at like y235
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Bradf80: ahh gotcha
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:02 AM - tatajer: I feel like an idiot. it was the cable...
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Bradf80: $$
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Ben R: IDIOT...
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Ben R: yea.. its the little things
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Bradf80: No worries, when I first unboxed mine it took me like 3 days to figure out the ribbon cable was stuck under the bed too lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Ben R: occam's razor
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - tatajer: sweet thanks, guys! I can finally start messing around with the filament alarm
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Ben R: now.. on to bigger and better things...
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Ben R: you know
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Ben R: oh wait.. you mean for changing filament?
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Ben R: or for out of?
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Ben R: because, your slicer tells you how much you need.. and many kitchens have a filament measuring device
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM - tatajer: filament monitor.
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Ben R:
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Bradf80: has anyone tried the filament from alibaba? It's like $8-12/kg
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Ben R: weigh empty spool, weigh spool to be used... math
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Ben R: I am sure I have, but I don't know it. There's nothing new under the sun.. its all 99% resellers
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Ben R: buy a couple pallets and test it out. sell it on ebay
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Ben R: or on the robo home page
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Bradf80: That price is about 1/3 of Amazon's pricing lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Kevin Nguyen: i would use dirt cheap pla
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Ben R: I am a bit trigger shy on that stuff. I have one roll of no name ABS.. it is crap. Fails in every way imaginable. And I don't have fialures.
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:07 AM - tatajer: this is what i'm going to implement: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?attachments/marlin-filament-monitoring-201014-pdf.4710/
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Bradf80: yeah pla is the toying around filament anyways, I'm not looking to make structural parts with it by any means lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Kevin Nguyen: if it makes my nic nacs like the 25$ stuff id buy it
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Ben R: ah yea.. Ive seen that alarm. I've never had a break.. and I measure before i print
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Ben R: not a bad idea..
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:09 AM - tatajer: sorry here's the updated one: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/filament-monitor.3335/page-2#post-42914
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Ben R: yea, I have that post bookmarked already. its on the list
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Ben R: dual extruders first
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Ben R: then probably decide they suck, replace and do that.
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Kevin Nguyen: anyone ever try to design drywall anchors for mounting things?
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Ben R: Hopefully by monday I'll be all dual extruder'd up
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Ben R: I've seen expanding wall anchors for printing
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Kevin Nguyen: thingiverse?
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Ben R: prolly.. i do all my searching at yeggi
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Ben R: but its mostly thingiverse
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Kevin Nguyen: ill check yeggi for some. i want to test some more practial things
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Kevin Nguyen: practical
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Ben R: break out the cad
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Ben R: on shape... build something YOU need
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Ben R: I needed a replacement for the ashtray in my land rover
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Ben R: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:641857
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Ben R: then I decided it needed to be a switch box
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Ben R: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:664240
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Kevin Nguyen: nice i dont think im that skilled at cad yet
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Ben R: I haven't cadd'd in 25years
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Ben R: i just opened up free cad and started drawing shapes
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Ben R: you don't get good by not doing it
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Kevin Nguyen: just like coding
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Ben R: you can "CAD" in code too
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Ben R: just write it out
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:29 PM - TechSupportGo: Hello
Mar 27, 2015 at 1:51 PM - Wikid: Anyone have the Herringbone gears in solid file I can modify?
Mar 27, 2015 at 8:50 PM - jbigler1986: Morning

 

Mar 27, 2015 at 9:22 PM - JeffTheMess: goood morning
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:05 PM - Bill Monroe: dang, slept in again...
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:07 PM - JeffTheMess: stupid sleep always getting in the way
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:08 PM - Bill Monroe: dont you know it
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:26 PM - JeffTheMess: sucks when you come to work for nuttin
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Ben R: Just woke up... and I'm on the east coast... blah
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: if you're salaried you can come in to work for nothing.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: if you're hourly.. that's some of the best stuff
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:30 PM - JeffTheMess: im salaried with overtime incentive
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: interesting
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Ben R: if not a little blurring the lines
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Ben R: if you don't get in your "40" are you docked?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:31 PM - JeffTheMess: nope
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Ben R: ok...
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:32 PM - JeffTheMess: but i only clock in over time on weekend...i work 50-60 hrs during the week...(i know its wierd)
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:32 PM - Ben R: I work around a bunch of Governmernment workers. They are still called "salary" but they have a time sheet and are paid hourly. Many of them take exception to being called hourly. But by any definition they are.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:34 PM - JeffTheMess: I only have a time sheet to charge our customers
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:35 PM - Bill Monroe: I'm salaried, no tracking of time off.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:35 PM - Ben R: yup.. that's salaried.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Ben R: This week I worked probably 80 hours... week before something like 30
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: I've quit twice.. twice they bought be back
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: be=,e
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: argh
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM - JeffTheMess: lol
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: be = me
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Ben R: home row bill.. home row
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Ben R: I remember when it didn't hurt to get out of bed.
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:37 PM - JeffTheMess: as an engineer its like that but as a tech here you get overtime incentive
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:39 PM - Bill Monroe: eh.. they only did it becuase I built a bunch of their production machines and they're afraid they'll have a problem and wont be able to fix it
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:39 PM - Bill Monroe: they just refuse to get me someone to train on them...
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Bill Monroe: you know how some people can do their job, and others only act like they can?
Mar 27, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Bill Monroe: my company's management is merely a theater of thespians
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:32 PM - Mike Glass: mornin gents
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:32 PM - Bill Monroe: MG
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:33 PM - Mike Glass: go my lcd upa and running, now need to figure out a mount or angle stand
Mar 27, 2015 at 11:34 PM - Bill Monroe: welcome to 2009!
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:17 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:18 AM - Mike Glass: hey JB
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:20 AM - jbigler1986: I tried making one in solidsworks but it kept crashing on me after a few minutes
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:22 AM - jbigler1986: Filament guide that is
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:22 AM - jbigler1986: Could you make me one really quick?
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:25 AM - jbigler1986: I need it 150mm long. Then the hole I would like to be like 3mm in diameter and at a 35 degree angle
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:26 AM - Mike Glass: Picture?
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:27 AM - jbigler1986: I'm just going to mount it on the side of the case under the extruder. So it can be just a straight bar
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:28 AM - Mike Glass: where do you want the hole
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:29 AM - jbigler1986: Like a few mm away from the end
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:30 AM - Mike Glass: how thick
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:31 AM - jbigler1986: Um. 8mm
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:32 AM - Mike Glass: Width
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM - donhuevo: morning fellas
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM - jbigler1986: 8mm should be fine
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM - Mike Glass: man I love this new computer with SW, except I dont have my spacenavigator on it yet.
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM - jbigler1986: Morning don
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Don
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM - donhuevo: already hard at it I see.
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:36 AM - jbigler1986: Solidsworks is crashing on me right now. Ugggh
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:36 AM - Bill Monroe: bootleg?
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:37 AM - donhuevo: sounds like he's on MK's work computer
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:37 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. It was working fine. Idk what the issue is right now
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:38 AM - donhuevo: If I was an IT guy, I'd tell you to try restarting the machine first
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:38 AM - donhuevo: oh wait...
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:38 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: I just haven't looked in to it yet.
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:41 AM - Bill Monroe: i've been doing solidworks since 4am
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:42 AM - donhuevo: make fun all you want... I like my autocad
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:42 AM - Bill Monroe: bahahahah!! I love a good laugh in the morning
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:43 AM - Bill Monroe: j/k
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:43 AM - donhuevo: haha
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:43 AM - Bill Monroe: ive not used autocrud since 1995, when solidworks hit the scene
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:43 AM - Bill Monroe: it's probably improved
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:43 AM - donhuevo: I'm using 2014
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:44 AM - donhuevo: a nice one-eyed man gave it to me
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:45 AM - Bill Monroe: i know autocad is real good at topo maps, which I need to do now, but it's been so long I'm not even going to try
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:46 AM - donhuevo: this is where I'm at right now with my delta print platform... http://i.imgur.com/AFR7P37.jpg
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:47 AM - Bill Monroe: hey! didnt I see that hovering over Area 51?
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:47 AM - donhuevo: kinda what I was going for
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:47 AM - Bill Monroe: put some flashing LEDs on it
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:48 AM - donhuevo: underneath... http://i.imgur.com/zvWO38o.jpg
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:49 AM - Bill Monroe: needs a tiny stairway that folds out the bottom
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:49 AM - donhuevo: ooh the bed probe
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:49 AM - Bill Monroe: ya! there ya go
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:50 AM - donhuevo: anyway, just showing that autocad isn't just for drawing your back yard anymore
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:50 AM - Bill Monroe: you havnt seen my yard
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:51 AM - donhuevo: no I have not
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:51 AM - Bill Monroe: 3 acres on a slope..
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:51 AM - Bill Monroe: I need to make a topo model so I can demonstrate the "unconventional structure" I want to build meets codes
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:52 AM - Bill Monroe: usual land-use committee drill
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:52 AM - donhuevo: gotcha
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:52 AM - donhuevo: jb, how's the bowden work going?
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:58 AM - jbigler1986: It's all setup now. About to print a filament guide for it since my spool is on the floor.
Mar 28, 2015 at 12:58 AM - jbigler1986: That's what MG is doing me. I think anyways
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:08 AM - donhuevo: cool
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:10 AM - donhuevo: spool holder?
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:11 AM - jbigler1986: He is making me a filament guide. Very simple one.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:11 AM - Mike Glass: I have it done, I was over thinking it..lol
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:11 AM - jbigler1986: Lol.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:12 AM - Mike Glass: do you want an stl or the part
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:12 AM - jbigler1986: Either or
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:12 AM - donhuevo: I made a simple spool turntable a while back if you're interested. its on thingiverse
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:12 AM - jbigler1986: Link?

 

Mar 28, 2015 at 1:13 AM - jbigler1986: I just have a simple stand one right now
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:13 AM - Mike Glass: I want do a turntable with an old drive
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:13 AM - donhuevo: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:320630
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:14 AM - jbigler1986: Nice
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:14 AM - donhuevo: There's an option there to mount it to the top of your case but I wouldn't recommend doing that. A spool falling from the top of the case could break the glass bed
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:16 AM - Mike Glass: or a toe
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:16 AM - donhuevo: or that, yes
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:16 AM - jbigler1986: I can't do the top anymore with the bowden anyways. Well I probably could if I spent the time on it.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:19 AM - donhuevo: any pics yet? I'm curious to see where you put the extruder stepper
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:19 AM - Mike Glass: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw9Fe7LfIIUTQW1JVzMyVnFlSVE/view?usp=sharing
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:19 AM - Mike Glass: there ya go jb
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:19 AM - jbigler1986: I was toasting my filament earlier. Hooked up thermistor wire to fan wire. Woops. At least my heat block is nice and clean now. Lol
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:20 AM - jbigler1986: I added a few pics. I will take some more in a few minutes
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:26 AM - donhuevo: do you have a printer thread started?
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:28 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:29 AM - donhuevo: link?
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:29 AM - donhuevo: show me yours and I'll show you mine
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:29 AM - jbigler1986: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/jbigler1986s-printer-work-in-progress.4952/
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:29 AM - Bill Monroe: <hiding eyes>
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:30 AM - jbigler1986: hey MG can you add a little flat piece on the end so I can screw it into the case?
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:30 AM - jbigler1986: other than that it looks good. Thanks
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:30 AM - donhuevo: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/donhuevos-e3d-bowden-fed-x-carriage.2555/
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:32 AM - donhuevo: yep, that makes sense. cool!
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:33 AM - jbigler1986: Or you can give me the file and I can add it
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:37 AM - Mike Glass: not sure what you mean JB it is a flat piece..lol
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:38 AM - Mike Glass: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw9Fe7LfIIUTQV9wT1RCb2hERGs/view?usp=sharing here is the sw file
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:38 AM - donhuevo: Bill, it's ok, you can look now.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:42 AM - Mike Glass: much better now I have the space navigator hooked up.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:45 AM - dbvanhorn: Space navs ROCK! I have several at home, and the big one at work.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:46 AM - dbvanhorn: Good morning all! Printer is happily humming away churning out parts. I'm up to 30 small pieces in one job now, with no issues.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:46 AM - Mike Glass: Hey DB
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:47 AM - Mike Glass: they just released new software for them, nice changes
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:52 AM - dbvanhorn: cool. Mostly I use mine for Altium, PCB design to fit convoluted plastic enclosures. It's like putting a pipe organ in a submarine.
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:53 AM - jbigler1986: got it. printing now. thanks
Mar 28, 2015 at 1:59 AM - jbigler1986: Question. The carriage is to light on the left side and it's activating the switch before it touches the bed. How should I Fox this
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:00 AM - Mike Glass: get a new fox
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:00 AM - donhuevo: you need some kind of counterweight on the idler pulley end
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:00 AM - Mike Glass: I think if you look and dons and mikes they have an extra weight
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:04 AM - jbigler1986: How much weight would do the trick do you think
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:06 AM - Ben R: i don't know how much, but a hydraulic weight can help cut down on ringing.
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:07 AM - donhuevo: something approaching the weight of the stepper motor on the other side
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:10 AM - dbvanhorn: A spare stepper? Those are about the right weight.
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:10 AM - Bill Monroe: i weighted mine too, but not for ringing
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:11 AM - Bill Monroe: i discovered the xtra weight one one side caused the opposite side to lift off the limit switch easier, causing an error in the auto-level
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:12 AM - Bill Monroe: like JB said
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:13 AM - donhuevo: I don't think there's enough room on the pulley side for a stepper if you want to put the lid back on
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:16 AM - jbigler1986: It won't take much to weight it down. I just put a little piece of tape to keep it compressed until it hit the bed to activate it for a quick fix
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:20 AM - donhuevo: a rubber band may do it too
Mar 28, 2015 at 3:11 AM - jbigler1986: Didn't think about that. I would prefer the adding weight option though. It would probably be more accurate. I would say a half pound would be plenty
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:07 AM - Mike Glass: Installing the new lights JB almost done. I wish my connectors were here from the slow boat though
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:18 AM - jbigler1986: Pics
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:21 AM - Mike Glass: almost done I said..lol looking for my heat shrink
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:23 AM - Jerry RoBo 3D: has anyone ever encountered a problem with installing the driver onto a Vista system?
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:25 AM - Mike Glass: Who in their right mind would run vista?
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:26 AM - Mike Glass: I have run it on Win8 and Win 7 without issues.
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:38 AM - Brad T: I have Vista on my laptop because I am a masochist.
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:54 AM - Brad T: Does anyone know how to set up the Z offset in Repetier using Slic3r? I tried doing it through the slicer config but it never seemed to make a difference.
Mar 28, 2015 at 4:56 AM - Brad T: I tried -0.1, 0.1, -0.3, and 0.3 just to try a range and every time it just dragged the nozzle across the bed.
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: Works for me. Mine is at .65
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:02 AM - jbigler1986: Try a really high just to test it
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:03 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/DcqTrdq http://imgur.com/OL3ssIm
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:06 AM - Mike Glass: Brad you need to put it in your g-code M565 Z -.06 or whatever works for you.
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:06 AM - jbigler1986: Mine is in slic3r and it's working. But yeah if it doesn't work just add it to gcode start
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:14 AM - Mike Glass: ok Maintenance done on robo, not back to printing cnc
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:14 AM - Mike Glass: or now back to printing..
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:18 AM - Mike Glass: What ya think JB
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:23 AM - jbigler1986: Looks good. What's next for u
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:25 AM - Mike Glass: Nothing, Im good to go now.
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:34 AM - JeffTheMess: hi all....so I i finally decided to print the oiler...now the sprint screw is acting funny cant tell if its too tight or too loose any suggests?
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:35 AM - Mike Glass: the hobbed bolt screws?
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:36 AM - JeffTheMess: i think thats what it is its the two screws you gotta pull back in order to feed the filament
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:39 AM - Mike Glass: I screw in all the way then back off a few turns
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:39 AM - JeffTheMess: it makes a clicking noise when extruding like its too tight but if i loosen you wont extrude
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:39 AM - JeffTheMess: ill try that
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:42 AM - Mike Glass: The clicking is normal as it probably has some play in the gear, if you move it back and forth you will hear it.
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:43 AM - JeffTheMess: no good still doing it
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:43 AM - JeffTheMess: it one of those things that have to be just right
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:46 AM - Mike Glass: maybe you should clean your hobbed bolt then
Mar 28, 2015 at 5:47 AM - Mike Glass: see if you can manually push the filament through with it hot, may be a slight clog
Mar 28, 2015 at 6:00 AM - JeffTheMess: thanks MG
Mar 28, 2015 at 6:05 AM - jbigler1986: I tighten mine pretty tight. No issues. But that's just me
Mar 28, 2015 at 6:08 AM - jbigler1986: The damn flat piece didn't print on the filament guide. Weird. It shows it in the slicer. Oh well. Time to make a little mount for it I guess
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: Damn blockage. I think the insane hot temps on the hotend baked some filament in the heat break. What is a good way to clean it? Just soak it in acetone?
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:33 AM - Jerry RoBo 3D: I was trying to help a customer yesterday and we couldn't get the driver to install correctly on Vista. Was a shame.
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: Hello there. Did you disable driver signature verification
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: That fixed the same issue that someone else was having on the foeums
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Mike Glass: Vista was so poorly designed. To bad couldnt get it working, maybe they will get windows 8, it works perfect.
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:46 AM - jbigler1986: Alright. Doing some cold pulls
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:48 AM - Mike Glass: why were you running it so hot?
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:55 AM - jbigler1986: I hooked up the thermistor connecter to the part fan connection so it was reading the temp.
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:56 AM - Mike Glass: ohhhh
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: It was smoking like crazy. Woops
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:57 AM - jbigler1986: Cleaned my hotend and nozzle though on the outside
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:58 AM - Mike Glass: I had a weird one, I was printing a part in repetier using cura slicer and just wasnt comming out nice, switch to Cura, and it printed awesome. not sure why. exact same settings, but when looking at the layers it was missing some sections in repetier. Strange!
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:59 AM - jbigler1986: Different program code.
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:00 AM - jbigler1986: Is the S3D license code locked onto one pc?
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:02 AM - Mike Glass: I heard you can install it on at least two
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:02 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/pNTKWyH
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:02 AM - jbigler1986: Check out that quality. First part with bowden
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Mike Glass: nice

 

Mar 28, 2015 at 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: Looks way better than before
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:05 AM - Mike Glass: mine has been perfect since I added new HC and put a bearing under the threaded rods, then superglued them in.
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:06 AM - Mike Glass: I also replaced the threaded rods, the factory ones had a half inch differnce from top to bottom.
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Ben R: anyone got the ramps board pinout?
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: What are you needing it for
Mar 28, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/archive/c/ca/20131210184132!Arduinomega1-4connectors.png
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:41 AM - jbigler1986: Question for you guys
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:45 AM - jbigler1986: I can print a part fine. Then after it cools down and I try to start a new print it's jammed. After I heat it up and remove the filament this is what it looks like
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:45 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/d64CDJ4
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:49 AM - jbigler1986: What could be causing this
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:51 AM - JeffTheMess: is that smooth or rough
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:54 AM - jbigler1986: Smooth
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Ben R: thats the way mine always look when I pull them out.
Mar 28, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Ben R: unless I do it hot right afterwards.. but of course then it leaves filament in the nozzle.
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: Maybe I will just add retract to end gcode
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:03 AM - jbigler1986: retract like 20mm so I don't have the issue
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:08 AM - jbigler1986: G1 E-20 F100 is the correct gcode right?
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: Does it matter where I put it in the end gcode?
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Ben R: I don't think the F matters.. but looks right
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Ben R: it Fs at the default speed
Mar 28, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Ben R: it can go right at the end. it shouldn't matter

 

Mar 28, 2015 10:07 PM - jbigler1986: morning
Mar 28, 2015 10:55 PM - Mike Glass: morns
Mar 28, 2015 11:00 PM - jbigler1986: I think I need to tighten my left coupler. I have to relevel after like every 2 prints. The left side is always higher than the right
Mar 28, 2015 11:02 PM - Mike Glass: does it slip?
Mar 28, 2015 11:02 PM - jbigler1986: So it's obviously not spinning the same revolutions as the right side
Mar 28, 2015 11:03 PM - jbigler1986: It's not way off. Just like 2mm or so
Mar 28, 2015 11:04 PM - jbigler1986: If I print without releving the left side of a part won't adhere and the right side will
Mar 29, 2015 12:54 AM - TechSupportGo: hello all
Mar 29, 2015 12:55 AM - Mike Glass: yo
Mar 29, 2015 12:58 AM - TechSupportGo: about to start the soap saver project in onshape

Mar 29, 2015 2:23 AM - Mike Kelly: aquanet hairspray
Mar 29, 2015 2:23 AM - Mike Kelly: though blue painters tape works best for me
Mar 29, 2015 2:29 AM - TechSupportGo: I wanted you guys to see my latest addition to the dragon heads before I paint it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FWeUGKaHaxY2VQdW41WE1qamc/view?usp=sharing

Mar 29, 2015 3:26 AM - Mike Glass: How's Mike today
Mar 29, 2015 3:28 AM - Mike Glass: Why does thingiverse display your stl's goofy or backwords sometimes.
Mar 29, 2015 3:36 AM - jbigler1986: What's going on fellas
Mar 29, 2015 3:38 AM - Mike Glass: just building away in SW
Mar 29, 2015 3:38 AM - Mike Glass: just published 2 more things
Mar 29, 2015 3:43 AM - Mike Kelly: the front plane in solidworks is the top plane in STL
Mar 29, 2015 3:44 AM - Mike Glass: ok thanks
Mar 29, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Glass: Is it possilbe to move it? or not worth it?
Mar 29, 2015 3:51 AM - jbigler1986: Trying to figure out what weight and how I should attach it
Mar 29, 2015 3:57 AM - Mike Glass: 0.2 Kg
Mar 29, 2015 3:58 AM - Mike Glass: .44 lbs
Mar 29, 2015 3:59 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure what I should use or how to attach it
Mar 29, 2015 4:00 AM - jbigler1986: I have some 3oz fishing sinkers

Mar 29, 2015 5:24 AM - AJinFLA: hey guys, broke wire again from stepper motor, has been repaired b4 so need new 6 pin connector that has 4 wires in it. how do i find or measure mine to replace it please
Mar 29, 2015 5:24 AM - AJinFLA: extruder stepper
Mar 29, 2015 5:25 AM - AJinFLA: that stepper link, thats to go direct drive?
Mar 29, 2015 5:28 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Mar 29, 2015 5:28 AM - Mike Glass: you would lose an inch or so with 300 mm
Mar 29, 2015 5:29 AM - Mike Glass: I'd rather go taller
Mar 29, 2015 5:29 AM - jbigler1986: True. Where were those 4 being shipped from
Mar 29, 2015 5:32 AM - AJinFLA: is there a link to the parts of the robo, i think its jst connector but then i see 1.0 1.25mm etc, which i think is connector spacing but not sure, need replace extruder stepper motor 6 pin plug
Mar 29, 2015 5:32 AM - AJinFLA: please
Mar 29, 2015 5:33 AM - AJinFLA: also silicon cover for hex head
Mar 29, 2015 5:35 AM - Mike Glass: china shipping JB
Mar 29, 2015 5:35 AM - jbigler1986: Where did it break?
Mar 29, 2015 5:36 AM - Mike Glass: You may have to call support get parts other that what they have listed here. http://www.robo3d.com/collections/replacement-parts-upgrades
Mar 29, 2015 5:37 AM - AJinFLA: wires pulled right out of connector, plastic is burnt from repairs, got used
Mar 29, 2015 5:37 AM - AJinFLA: see some on ebay 10 for 6$ but not sure of size
Mar 29, 2015 5:37 AM - AJinFLA: ok ty mike
Mar 29, 2015 5:38 AM - Mike Glass: I have some on order but havent arrived yet, they are JST waterproof connectors
Mar 29, 2015 5:39 AM - AJinFLA: i see different sizes 1.0mm-2.25mm
Mar 29, 2015 5:41 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJVKKKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mar 29, 2015 5:44 AM - AJinFLA: i need the 6 pin extruder stepper plug, 6 pin but has 4 wires in it
Mar 29, 2015 5:47 AM - AJinFLA: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171361716283 looks just like this but i see 1.0mm - 2.25mm tried measuring wire spacing but so small i cant tell
Mar 29, 2015 5:52 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.robotdigg.com/product/195/4pin-1M-Long-RobotDigg-Stepper-Motor-Cables-w/-Dupont-Connector
Mar 29, 2015 5:53 AM - AJinFLA: still 4 pin the stepper has 6 pin plug built into it, the female mate to this is what i need
Mar 29, 2015 5:54 AM - Mike Glass: yes if you read it has a 4 for the ramps and 6 for the stepper.
Mar 29, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Glass: They all have 6 pin but use only 4, only on the bigger nema's use all the wires.
Mar 29, 2015 5:56 AM - AJinFLA: thank you very much mike, i appreciate you going out of your way to help, have great sunday all
Mar 29, 2015 5:57 AM - Mike Glass: Np you too
Mar 29, 2015 6:44 AM - jbigler1986: Went back to direct feed
Mar 29, 2015 6:45 AM - jbigler1986: The ptfe tube was a little to small inside diameter and kept binding. Need to do some more research and get a weight
Mar 29, 2015 8:02 AM - jbigler1986: Anyone printing anything cool?
Mar 29, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Glass: I was printing air
Mar 29, 2015 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: Sweet. Love that
Mar 29, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: I'm doing the negative space test right now. Got prints looking good.
Mar 29, 2015 9:46 AM - TechSupportGo: I have one of these chairs, thinking about printing replacement parts
Mar 29, 2015 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: How strong is that chair
Mar 29, 2015 10:22 AM - TechSupportGo: 320 lbs I actually have the REI version that is 250lbs I can move around good without it feeling like it will break
Mar 29, 2015 10:49 AM - jbigler1986: Nice. Never seen that
Mar 29, 2015 11:04 AM - Bradf80: Anyone use Skanect?
Mar 29, 2015 11:08 AM - jbigler1986: I think I have my printer nice and setup
Mar 29, 2015 11:08 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/kozNB9V
Mar 29, 2015 11:10 AM - jbigler1986: The first 3 literally just fell out when I picked up the part. Lol
Mar 29, 2015 9:00 PM - jbigler1986: morning

 

Mar 29, 2015 at 9:31 PM - JeffTheMess: goood morning
Mar 29, 2015 at 9:54 PM - jbigler1986: Anything interesting going on
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:00 PM - JeffTheMess: well I printed a stand for my webcam to go on the bed itself....but I designed the pivot point to small so no nothing for me
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:01 PM - jbigler1986: That sucks. I designed and printed my first part the other day. Felt good.
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:02 PM - jbigler1986: I'm back to direct feed now. Had to many binding issues with bowden. My ptfe tube inside diameter was a little to small.
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:02 PM - JeffTheMess: What was it
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:02 PM - JeffTheMess: was it a hassle to put back?
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:04 PM - jbigler1986: not at all. Literally took me 5 minutes total
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:06 PM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:06 PM - JeffTheMess: so what did you design and print...its cool to see what you designed come to life
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:07 PM - jbigler1986: My printer is printing beautifully now though
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:08 PM - jbigler1986: I printed the negative space test and I could remove every pin. I tried to print it like a month ago and I could only remove the first one and It was hard to remove
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:08 PM - jbigler1986: It was just a mount to hold a filament guide
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:09 PM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:15 PM - jbigler1986: I wont be on here until next Monday after today
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:15 PM - JeffTheMess: why is that
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:16 PM - jbigler1986: vacation
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:16 PM - JeffTheMess: hybrid design what most of us expected when starting is here.... http://www.engineering.com/DesignSo...ng-Software-Offers-Freedom-and-Precision.aspx
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:17 PM - JeffTheMess: probably gonna cost a shyt load though
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:19 PM - jbigler1986: scans prictures?
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:19 PM - JeffTheMess: its modeling mixed with cad
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:19 PM - jbigler1986: looks good
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:20 PM - jbigler1986: it's around $400\
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:20 PM - JeffTheMess: its a hybrid between the two different type of designing.....like a said when I first started learn this stuff I thought it would be like that
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:22 PM - jbigler1986: yeah it's weird that solidworks can export a stl but importing one and working with it is a pain
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:22 PM - jbigler1986: need to see if i can "download" that and try it
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:24 PM - JeffTheMess: it may be worth a shot...if the their community is big enough to have tutorials and books
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:27 PM - jbigler1986: Probably has built in tutorials
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:34 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah looks good to me
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:41 PM - JeffTheMess: inventor has a similar feature you should find out if solidworks does to "freeform modeling"
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:55 PM - Mike Kelly: mornin
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:56 PM - Mike Kelly: solidworks has freeform, it's under the surfaces set of tools
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:56 PM - jbigler1986: hello there
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:59 PM - JeffTheMess: morning
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:59 PM - Mike Kelly: how is everyone
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:59 PM - JeffTheMess: there you go jb you can try that if you want
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:59 PM - jbigler1986: I need to find a way to mount greg's better. Had way to much binding
Mar 29, 2015 at 10:59 PM - jbigler1986: Had to go back to direct feed
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:00 PM - Mike Kelly: bummer
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:01 PM - Mike Kelly: how was it binding
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:03 PM - jbigler1986: the ptfe tube needed to be bigger inside. It was a little to tight for the filament to move through smoothly
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:04 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:04 PM - Mike Kelly: strange
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:06 PM - JeffTheMess: would having an oiler help? since the oil can help it go through better
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:07 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i lube up my ptfe tubes every so often
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:08 PM - jbigler1986: I always use an oiler.
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:08 PM - Mike Kelly: was there a sharp bend?
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: There was yes. I made it shorter to remove the sharp bend but then it wasn't long enough to reach the far left side of the bed
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:10 PM - Mike Kelly: bummer
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:12 PM - jbigler1986: Not sure how to solve it honestly. Mounting it above the robo would probably bind it when the z axis gets high
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i make sure it has enough PTFE tube to make it to the bottom right side and no more
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:16 PM - jbigler1986: you have your on the left dont you?
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:17 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: I will figure out something. It's and easy switch now that I have the stuff for it. Need to get one of those adapters you showed me too.
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:19 PM - Mike Kelly: mine are still for sale
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:19 PM - jbigler1986: how much
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:19 PM - Mike Kelly: uh 18 shipped?
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:20 PM - Mike Kelly: unless you just want one
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:21 PM - jbigler1986: I think i may hold off. Some reason I'm having awesome prints right now after switching back
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:21 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:21 PM - jbigler1986: I printed the negative space test last night and I could remove all 5 pins
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:21 PM - Mike Kelly: i ship you one for 9 if you'd like
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:21 PM - Mike Kelly: snap nice
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:22 PM - jbigler1986: 3 of the pins just fell out when i removed the part. The 4th a just grabbed and it came out. The fifth a just had to wiggle a tiny bit
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:23 PM - JeffTheMess: where did you get that file for the negative test?
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:23 PM - jbigler1986: I tried that like a month ago and I could only remove the first one and it was a pain
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:23 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:533472
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:24 PM - jbigler1986: I printed an all in one ball bearing last night and it came out perfect
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:25 PM - Mike Kelly: jealous
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:27 PM - jbigler1986: I tightend the left coupler and adjusted the clamp on the lead screw nut that has the autolevel switch to match the one on the right side
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:28 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/kozNB9V
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:29 PM - Mike Kelly: i still see ribbing too, that's impressive
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:30 PM - jbigler1986: that's at .2 height as well
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:32 PM - JeffTheMess: pretty good
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:32 PM - jbigler1986: the green just makes the layers more visible. I printed a rose stem and it looks like a lot of ribbing but if you fell it it's pretty smooth.
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:33 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah pictures always make things seem worse
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:34 PM - jbigler1986: I couldn't believe that the bearing turned out great. Made my day
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:34 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/CHANNEL/JBIGLER1986
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:35 PM - Mike Kelly: i've been having printer issues, drives me crazy
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:35 PM - Mike Kelly: just slight imperfections
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:36 PM - jbigler1986: I am finally happy. I have been wanting to print that bearing for a while. Just to prove that I can. Plus it allows me to print lots of other things
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:38 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i've always been too nervous to try the bearing
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:39 PM - jbigler1986: My first one was a nightmare. Everything was attached. The balls weren't balls at all. It was laughable
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:39 PM - Mike Kelly: what are you printing now
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:39 PM - JeffTheMess: I should try that...see what a stock printer can do it
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: is slic3r support easy to remove? Never actually use it. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:109575
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: Printing the bowl part
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:40 PM - Mike Kelly: i haven't used slicer since .9
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:40 PM - Mike Kelly: v1 is supposed to be better
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:42 PM - jbigler1986: I guess I will find out tonight
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:42 PM - Mike Kelly: are you printing that bowl with support
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:43 PM - jbigler1986: yeah. Probably didn't need it but I said why not
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:44 PM - Mike Glass: morning
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:44 PM - Mike Glass: http://digg.com/video/cheese-whiz-is-definitely-not-the-future-of-3d-printing
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:45 PM - JeffTheMess: slic3r support isnt too bad, i always print with minimum support and i get into a little trouble with removing it
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:45 PM - JeffTheMess: good morning
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:45 PM - jbigler1986: lmao
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:46 PM - Mike Glass: I still think cura support is the best, never had an issue with removing.
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:47 PM - jbigler1986: Cheese whiz is awesome though
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:48 PM - JeffTheMess: *hits blunt* dude put some cheese wiz on that printer

 

Mar 29, 2015 at 11:51 PM - JeffTheMess: You can always export the gcode from cura and run it in mattercontrol....but at that point you might as well just used only cura

Mar 29, 2015 at 11:58 PM - JeffTheMess: jeez...hope that wasn't towards me
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:58 PM - Mike Kelly: it wasn't
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:59 PM - Mike Kelly: unless you feel like you fit under that category, then perhaps reevaluate your usage of google
Mar 29, 2015 at 11:59 PM - JeffTheMess: well you are right I haven't done no mods yet because you HAVE to understand how the printer works
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:00 AM - JeffTheMess: no im not a googler if that make sense

Mar 30, 2015 at 12:08 AM - JeffTheMess: guess not
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:08 AM - Mike Kelly: well if you have an error in a software, it's not hard to google said error
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:09 AM - JeffTheMess: your right
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:09 AM - Mike Glass: Tell that to my helpdesk staff, they walk into my office with questions all the time, first thing I ask is did ya google it, dumbasses
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:10 AM - Jerry RoBo 3D: Just want to make it very clear, that everyone one here, no matter their skill level, is completely welcome here and should always feel welcome here
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:14 AM - JeffTheMess: (not to brown nose) but jerry is right, the community grew because we want to learn how to best use 3d printers
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:15 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll find other outlets to vent i guess
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:17 AM - Mike Kelly: i also don't know how much the community is growing these days
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:18 AM - Mike Glass: Does this site have a stats page?
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:18 AM - JeffTheMess: rather a have a few loyal people than many phonies i guess
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:18 AM - jbigler1986: I'm sure they do
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:19 AM - JeffTheMess: I want to be more active in the forum because you guys helped me so much

Mar 30, 2015 at 12:20 AM - Mike Glass: Jerry whats the password to get to the stats page..lol
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:20 AM - Mike Kelly: jerry also doesn't have access
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:20 AM - Mike Kelly: no one but harry does
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:21 AM - Mike Glass: I bet he could get it
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:23 AM - Mike Glass: what cms software does this site use, ive seen a few others that have the same template
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:24 AM - Mike Kelly: no harry controls the server and all passwords
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:24 AM - jbigler1986: One one person has access? How does that make sense
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:25 AM - Mike Glass: Out of 26 and only one?
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i didn't say it made sense, that's just how things are right now
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:26 AM - Mike Glass: Sounds like my case. If I die tomorrow they are all screwed..lol
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:28 AM - Mike Glass: Oh and Mike you inherit my Robo, so you can finally have a newer model..

Mar 30, 2015 at 12:29 AM - Mike Glass: I like pretty pictures
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: i feel like since the latest printers have been relatively free from issue our registration rate has really dropped
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: same with discussion rate
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:31 AM - jbigler1986: I also think the stickies are helping a lot as well
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i hope so
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i always feel like stickies have like a 50/50 chance of being ignored
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: though that might be confirmation biase
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:33 AM - JeffTheMess: for some people once you have no problems why come back...unless you want to be proactive
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:37 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:38 AM - Mike Kelly: there's plans of making this more of an active and project based community
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:38 AM - Mike Kelly: though at the moment there's not much incentivization to do so
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:38 AM - Mike Kelly: interesting projects don't generate much conversation or likes
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:38 AM - Mike Glass: What no beta R2 to community memebers?

Mar 30, 2015 at 12:59 AM - Mike Kelly: I still give him the benefit of the doubt and say stratasys was going to sue them over the rep2x enclosure and he had to sell. Though he's still a tool
Mar 30, 2015 at 12:59 AM - JeffTheMess: formlab was being sued by 3d system they didn't give in (yet)
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:01 AM - JeffTheMess: Elon Musk said it best...patents are a money machine to sue people with
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:03 AM - jbigler1986: This country is sue happy. Although I can't blame some companies though
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:07 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:07 AM - Mike Kelly: patents without lawsuits are worthless
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:12 AM - jbigler1986: It's kind of like the Blurred Lines lawsuit. DO the songs sound alike? Yes. Are they identical? No. There will be a time when all songs sound like other songs that have been created at some point.
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:14 AM - Mike Glass: They let things get way out of control when is it going to stop, we need somebody to put an end to it all.
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:15 AM - Mike Kelly: we need a mind your business society first
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:16 AM - jbigler1986: Our justice system is a joke.
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:16 AM - Mike Kelly: 4% of the worlds population, 25% of the prisoners
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:16 AM - Mike Kelly: we'd rather incarcerate than reform
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:19 AM - JeffTheMess: people who go to jail love it in there...it isn;t what most expect
Mar 30, 2015 at 1:19 AM - jbigler1986: Hey this guy is behind on child support. Hey let's suspend his license so he can't drive to get a job or back and forth to work so he can pay his child support.

Mar 30, 2015 at 2:31 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah its pretty flat
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:33 AM - jbigler1986: Maybe I should do the overhang test and see my results.
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:35 AM - JeffTheMess: should should try a bridge test see how clean it comes out
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i suggest going through the gambit

Mar 30, 2015 at 2:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: There is a makerbot store on Newbury St
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:45 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i think we're going to a socks game at fenway on monday
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:46 AM - Mike Kelly: we'll probably do sam adams even though i'm not a big fan
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm going to ask them why they don't believe in using a different yeast

Mar 30, 2015 at 2:53 AM - jbigler1986: That sound like a blast
Mar 30, 2015 at 2:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: between the drunks and the legit crazy people those things happen

Mar 30, 2015 at 3:06 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm more of a fish kind of guy
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:07 AM - donhuevo: it looks more like they converted a popcorn machine which is ok too I guess.

Mar 30, 2015 at 3:23 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:24 AM - jbigler1986: I couldn't find a zip tie. I used them all for my bowden stuff

Mar 30, 2015 at 3:25 AM - Mike Glass: didnt know if something fell down from the top or what
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:25 AM - donhuevo: I'll say it again... Don't zip tie your wires to your bowden tube. I scratched my head for three days before I realized that's why I was chewing filament at the hob
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:26 AM - Mike Kelly: he moved back to direct drive, was getting binding
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:26 AM - jbigler1986: No I was using a zip tie bowdem clamp

Mar 30, 2015 at 3:26 AM - donhuevo: hmmm
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:28 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah there was a severe angle on the bowden tube going from the slot in the top of the case to the hotend. It was either that or it was to short and would allow the x axis to go all the way to the left
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:28 AM - jbigler1986: wouldn't
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:28 AM - donhuevo: so you need a longer tube
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:28 AM - Mike Glass: yaa just got my jst connectors, day late though, just rewired the robo with new lights..ugg
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to go home and clear a jam
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - Mike Kelly: i think some XT got stuck
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - jbigler1986: No. I had 5 feet of tubing to work with
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - Mike Glass: I love Xt.
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - Mike Glass: NOT
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - donhuevo: that's an interesting way to say 'I have to poop'
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:29 AM - Mike Glass: ahaha
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:30 AM - jbigler1986: well he would be clearing a jam either way. lol
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:30 AM - donhuevo: I actually thought it was code for I have to poop
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:30 AM - donhuevo: and I'd rather do it at home
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:31 AM - Mike Kelly: XT clear has been pretty good to me
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:31 AM - Mike Kelly: but it's the older formula
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:32 AM - Mike Glass: I heard that was way better stuff.
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:33 AM - Mike Glass: unlike the cheap overprices crap they have now
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:34 AM - donhuevo: what was the other stuff like XT? I can't remember
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:35 AM - donhuevo: PET+
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:36 AM - Mike Glass: Taulman is awesome, Xt I will never buy again.
Mar 30, 2015 at 3:37 AM - donhuevo: I have a couple rolls of PET+. Haven't used it much but it did seem to print smooth and creamy
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:05 AM - jbigler1986: My bowl looks like a flying saucer. Lol

Mar 30, 2015 at 4:07 AM - jbigler1986: Well. I just found a piece of filament poking me in the foot in my shoe.
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:07 AM - jbigler1986: That looks nice toy
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:09 AM - toy: its not the correct way of converting a mill but it is alot easier than replacing and mounting new ballscrews etc.
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:11 AM - jbigler1986: Hey whatever works and gets the end results you want
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: Figure some of you guys might find this stuff interesting

Mar 30, 2015 at 4:24 AM - toy: i wish they show how the z drive stepper/servo attached
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.centroidcnc.com/cnc_retrofit_images.html maybe somewhere in this section
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:31 AM - Mike Glass: how many oz are the robo steppers?
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:37 AM - toy: 60 oz.. around their i think
Mar 30, 2015 at 4:40 AM - Mike Glass: hmm they look smaller but not sure, on the replacements site they say 48 but that is for the holding torque, so not sure if thats were the number comes from.
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:04 AM - Mike Kelly: 48
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:06 AM - Mike Kelly: how much for the 3 axis kit stephen
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think it is like 12k
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.centroidcnc.com/controlpricing.htm
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: an old bridgeport is relatively cheap. It is al the accessories that get you. Vices, collets, bits, ...
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i think one of the mills we have at HQ is a bridgeport
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd need to go check
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:16 AM - Mike Kelly: only one axis is servo driven though
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:19 AM - Mike Glass: wow fastenal is cheap compared to Lowes, I got a whole order for under $24 at lowes it was $31 for a few bolts...
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: order a kit and make sure you buy the touch probe
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:20 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah buying hardware is tough
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:21 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah if only i had that kind of purchasing power
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: i hear that
Mar 30, 2015 at 5:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i can't even get 5k to upgrade our solidworks

Mar 30, 2015 at 8:04 AM - Printed Solid: I like the printer with the titanium hot end selling for under $200.
Mar 30, 2015 at 8:05 AM - Printed Solid: I wish them the best of luck, but
Mar 30, 2015 at 8:14 AM - jbigler1986: Thanks for the stuff. I got it today.
Mar 30, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Jerry, thanks for the package, they were perfect.
Mar 30, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Mike Glass: not were, but are.
Mar 30, 2015 at 8:39 AM - jbigler1986: Hey calm down MG
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:00 AM - Mike Glass: ?
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:16 AM - jbigler1986: It just felt right. Man this hatchbox red looks good
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Mike Glass: I like the t-red I have from them
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:26 AM - toy: ballscrews?
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: ?
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Mike Glass: ?
Mar 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: That support came off really easily
Mar 30, 2015 at 10:06 AM - Mike Glass: lets see a pic of the plate JB

Mar 30, 2015 at 10:11 AM - Mike Glass: yello

 

Mar 30, 2015 at 10:42 AM - jbigler1986: I stopped it. I was stringy. Same came off easily though
Mar 30, 2015 at 10:43 AM - jbigler1986: Support *
Mar 30, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Mike Glass: i suppose it would if it was stringy
Mar 30, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: mike you finally got replacements that you're happy with?
Mar 30, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Glass: yep, they are perfect.

Mar 30, 2015 9:02 PM - jbigler1986: morning
Mar 30, 2015 9:06 PM - Stephen Capistron: Tech I have those and am in the process of installing
Mar 30, 2015 9:07 PM - Stephen Capistron: The ones off amazon are a little shorter, but most of this can be overcome with creative x bracket designs
Mar 30, 2015 9:09 PM - jbigler1986: Let me know how that goes. I'm thinking abut do that upgrade myself
Mar 30, 2015 9:18 PM - Shank: Anyone know where I can get a dual extruder kit for the Robo 3d?
Mar 30, 2015 9:22 PM - Stephen Capistron: will do JB
Mar 30, 2015 9:24 PM - jbigler1986: it's not a Robo specified kit.
Mar 30, 2015 9:25 PM - jbigler1986: Look up chimera or cyclops from E3D
Mar 30, 2015 9:27 PM - Shank: Is there any x carriage adapters already out there? Or will I have to design one?
Mar 30, 2015 9:28 PM - jbigler1986: There are a few on athingiverse. Mike Kelly has some good ones
Mar 30, 2015 9:30 PM - Shank: so there is not really a kit that has everything. i will have to print parts at one point in time
Mar 30, 2015 9:32 PM - jbigler1986: What do you mean by kit? Like fan holders and all of that? Or just the electrical parts, hotends and stuff?
Mar 30, 2015 9:35 PM - JeffTheMess: good morning fellow roboteers
Mar 30, 2015 9:35 PM - Shank: everything i will need to add the dual extruders. (all electrical parts to hook up the new stuff, hotends, plastic parts like x-carriage adapters)
Mar 30, 2015 9:35 PM - jbigler1986: The E3D Chimera kit will come with everything you need as far as electronics and hardware. You will need to print parts like fan holders, x carriage and stuff
Mar 30, 2015 9:36 PM - Shank: will that effect my robo programming in anyway or can i just attach and go?
Mar 30, 2015 9:36 PM - jbigler1986: Every 3D printer is different. E3D makes their extruders to be universal. You just have to prints the parts to get it to fit on your printer
Mar 30, 2015 9:37 PM - JeffTheMess: I think mattercontrol has a dual extruder option
Mar 30, 2015 9:37 PM - jbigler1986: It will involve a lot of tweaking
Mar 30, 2015 9:37 PM - jbigler1986: All slic3rs have options for dual extruders. Its a matter of tweaking the settings to get it printing good
Mar 30, 2015 9:38 PM - JeffTheMess: yup
Mar 30, 2015 9:38 PM - Shank: That’s what I am afraid of I don’t have much programming experience
Mar 30, 2015 9:39 PM - JeffTheMess: I think Mike Kelly has a tutorial on it how it is all setup and everything, he's a smart guy, it was very detailed
Mar 30, 2015 9:39 PM - jbigler1986: Now if you go with the cyclops it is technically only 1 extruder so it should be less tweaking
Mar 30, 2015 9:40 PM - jbigler1986: You will also need to add another extruder like gregs wade too
Mar 30, 2015 9:41 PM - Shank: all the tweaking will be done in mattercontrol correct or will i have to do it in slicer
Mar 30, 2015 9:42 PM - JeffTheMess: mattercontrol, the slicer just does that slices
Mar 30, 2015 9:42 PM - jbigler1986: They are basically the same thing. You choose from 3 different slicers from within mattercontrol
Mar 30, 2015 9:43 PM - Shank: Is there any good video tutorials out there on mattercontrol
Mar 30, 2015 9:43 PM - JeffTheMess: like jb said before, depending on how your print works best choice between cura slic3r or mattercontrol
Mar 30, 2015 9:44 PM - jbigler1986: I would avoid mattercontrol though as most people don't use it so you won't get much help with it
Mar 30, 2015 9:44 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah
Mar 30, 2015 9:45 PM - jbigler1986: I suggest either using Repetier with slic3r or Cura as the slicer or use Cura standalone
Mar 30, 2015 9:45 PM - Shank: I guess my only reason behind wanting a dual extruder is for running support material
Mar 30, 2015 9:46 PM - jbigler1986: Repetier looks scary at first but once you start using it it's easy
Mar 30, 2015 9:47 PM - Shank: i have used it before on my delta printer but never really learned it
Mar 30, 2015 9:47 PM - JeffTheMess: if you are adventurous you can try meshmixer, and create your own support and avoid the whole dual extruder, but buidling the dual extruder you will learn alot from your printer
Mar 30, 2015 9:49 PM - jbigler1986: Cura support is supposed to be good and easy to remove. I havent tried it though
Mar 30, 2015 9:51 PM - Shank: At this point I just want to be able to print support material with least amount of hassle
Mar 30, 2015 9:51 PM - JeffTheMess: example of meshmixer support http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:594798
Mar 30, 2015 9:53 PM - jbigler1986: I was scared to mess up my printer but after upgrading hotend and messing with bowden I have no issues messing with it now
Mar 30, 2015 9:53 PM - jbigler1986: Did you manually add that jeff?
Mar 30, 2015 9:54 PM - Shank: jb do you still use mattercontrol or have you jump to repetier
Mar 30, 2015 9:54 PM - JeffTheMess: no someone else did that, but that goes to show there has to be a way to manually add support We just have found it yet
Mar 30, 2015 9:56 PM - jbigler1986: Repetier. Way less of a hassle and honestly easier
Mar 30, 2015 9:57 PM - JeffTheMess: http://i.imgur.com/tdfRIn8.png another example of meshmixer
Mar 30, 2015 9:58 PM - Shank: how hard is it to add the printer configurations to repetier
Mar 30, 2015 9:58 PM - jbigler1986: No I got to manually add support before. It just won't let me do it now. You hold shift and drag it where you want or control don't remember which one
Mar 30, 2015 9:59 PM - jbigler1986: Very simple
Mar 30, 2015 9:59 PM - jbigler1986: You just change the same settings that you use with mattercontrol. Only difference is that you have to manually add like bed size
Mar 30, 2015 9:59 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah...its an option for shank if he want to learn it
Mar 30, 2015 10:00 PM - Shank: alright i might have to try repetier...thanks for the help
Mar 30, 2015 10:00 PM - jbigler1986: Anytime
Mar 30, 2015 10:01 PM - jbigler1986: Jeff that bowl needed more support. Some it had think strings that didn't adhere on the outside layers
Mar 30, 2015 10:01 PM - jbigler1986: It had some strings*
Mar 30, 2015 10:02 PM - JeffTheMess: really? it was looking pretty good through ustream
Mar 30, 2015 10:03 PM - JeffTheMess: did you notice at what angle it needed it?
Mar 30, 2015 10:03 PM - JeffTheMess: its good to know so your know your printer limit
Mar 30, 2015 10:04 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah you couldn't see it on the stream. As soon as I got home you could see it. That was an extremer overhang though. The support on the bottom base came off clean and easy though
Mar 30, 2015 10:04 PM - JeffTheMess: thats good to know for next time, did you reprint?
Mar 30, 2015 10:07 PM - jbigler1986: I am printing this http://www.spyder3dworld.com/downloads/crash-stomp-beckett-ferguson/ and a 3ds game holder
Mar 30, 2015 10:09 PM - JeffTheMess: are you printing it as one piece or the four separate pieces he was saying
Mar 30, 2015 10:10 PM - jbigler1986: The skylanders guy is 3 pieces
Mar 30, 2015 10:10 PM - jbigler1986: my bad. 4
Mar 30, 2015 10:11 PM - JeffTheMess: im interested in seeing how the "fur" will look after printed
Mar 30, 2015 10:11 PM - jbigler1986: Me too. I should have done .1 height
Mar 30, 2015 10:12 PM - jbigler1986: My camera decided it wanted to get cockeyed
Mar 30, 2015 10:12 PM - JeffTheMess: the layer hieght may help it look more realistic
Mar 30, 2015 10:13 PM - JeffTheMess: lol my camera is like that too now I said screw it its already mounted on the bed
Mar 30, 2015 10:13 PM - jbigler1986: You got yours set up and working?
Mar 30, 2015 10:14 PM - jbigler1986: What should I use to get hair spray build up cleaned off of the bed? Windex?
Mar 30, 2015 10:14 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah I printed the a calibration cube just to see how it would hold up and it was good
Mar 30, 2015 10:14 PM - JeffTheMess: I use windex it works good
Mar 30, 2015 10:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: any general purpose cleaner will do and a plastic scraper
Mar 30, 2015 10:15 PM - JeffTheMess: and just because im paranoid i also use alcohol make sure everything is off
Mar 30, 2015 10:15 PM - Mike Glass: I use denatured alcohol
Mar 30, 2015 10:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: i rinse with water after
Mar 30, 2015 10:16 PM - Stephen Capistron: then i use my wine box to hose it all down in hairspray again
Mar 30, 2015 10:16 PM - Mike Glass: Morning
Mar 30, 2015 10:16 PM - JeffTheMess: I should be running a print of Baymax soon you can see how a bed mount camera looks like.. i like the way it look you see more of the part printing
Mar 30, 2015 10:16 PM - JeffTheMess: good morning
Mar 30, 2015 10:17 PM - JeffTheMess: I wish I would have got a cam with zoom and auto focus
Mar 30, 2015 10:18 PM - jbigler1986: Morning. I had m camera on the front of the bed for a while. I needed a wider lense to get the whole bed though
Mar 30, 2015 10:18 PM - Stephen Capistron: take it apart and find a wide angle lens that might fit
Mar 30, 2015 10:19 PM - Mike Glass: Jb do you want to try my new swivel mount?
Mar 30, 2015 10:19 PM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.optics-online.com/dsl.asp
Mar 30, 2015 10:19 PM - jbigler1986: Sure.
Mar 30, 2015 10:19 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah i got the whole printable part of the bed just angle wrong my printed swivel came out angled
Mar 30, 2015 10:19 PM - Mike Glass: Or are you using the same one.
Mar 30, 2015 10:20 PM - jbigler1986: I am using the same one
Mar 30, 2015 10:20 PM - jbigler1986: Is it in one piece or 2?
Mar 30, 2015 10:21 PM - Mike Glass: leaving for work now, 2 pieces
Mar 30, 2015 10:22 PM - jbigler1986: I may try to design one that's 1 piece since my negative space is perfecto
Mar 30, 2015 10:23 PM - JeffTheMess: if you are going to design it make sure you add a tolerance
Mar 30, 2015 10:24 PM - jbigler1986: If you make my stream fullscreen you can look at some of the "fur" on one of the hands
Mar 30, 2015 10:25 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah I can kind of see it....your printing all together right...have you ever tried print one at a time?
Mar 30, 2015 10:26 PM - jbigler1986: I tried it in Cura. It didn't work though. Didn't mess with it more. I need to though
Mar 30, 2015 10:27 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah it suppose to save time printing
Mar 30, 2015 10:29 PM - jbigler1986: let me search really fast. I might as well go home today. I'm in vaca mode already. Not getting anything done
Mar 30, 2015 10:31 PM - JeffTheMess: lol yeah
