May 1, 2015 5:19 AM - jbigler1986: ya but still
May 1, 2015 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: the facebook guys are cool though
May 1, 2015 5:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: if you can afford a 35mm home selling it at a loss should be a rounding error on the year
May 1, 2015 5:19 AM - jbigler1986: idc if i have 500mil. losing 32mil would not be fun
May 1, 2015 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: honestly, the sellers are just not about money

May 1, 2015 5:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: bill aren't you almost 80
May 1, 2015 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: how do you define "almost"?
May 1, 2015 5:25 AM - Stargrove1: Hi, someone here using Solidworks? Is there a keyboard shortcut for rotating the model by the mouse?
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: ctrl?
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Stargrove1: No
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Stargrove1: Also not shift or alt
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: the arrows keys
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: booting it up now
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: i know it can be done
May 1, 2015 5:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: i just don't even think about
May 1, 2015 5:27 AM - Stargrove1: arrow key directly rotates
May 1, 2015 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm doing it right now
May 1, 2015 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe: model is spinning like a russian supply capsule
May 1, 2015 5:27 AM - Stargrove1:
May 1, 2015 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: for the mouse, just push the third button
May 1, 2015 5:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: those capsules only spun because of the vodka
May 1, 2015 5:28 AM - Stargrove1: I was using Freecad, with ctrl it was possible to rotate, with alt to move, was quite good
May 1, 2015 5:29 AM - Bill Monroe: ok back in a bit
May 1, 2015 5:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: each cad program is a little different
May 1, 2015 5:29 AM - Stargrove1: Right third button works, but that my wheel, kind of hard to use that
May 1, 2015 5:29 AM - Stargrove1: Thanks for helping out
May 1, 2015 5:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: you get used to it
May 1, 2015 5:30 AM - Stargrove1: The wheel has also the function to move left and right, its difficult not to add that extra klick
May 1, 2015 5:31 AM - JeffTheMess: Good morning Robonauts
May 1, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: go home
May 1, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: jk. morning

May 1, 2015 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
May 1, 2015 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: pretty boring though
May 1, 2015 5:40 AM - JeffTheMess: (ofcourse its live what am i thinking)
May 1, 2015 5:40 AM - Stargrove1: I think its comparable to labor day
May 1, 2015 5:41 AM - jbigler1986: gonna use almost a full spool of filament
May 1, 2015 5:41 AM - Stargrove1: What are you printing?
May 1, 2015 5:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: that is scary
May 1, 2015 5:42 AM - Stargrove1: Cool to see the live stream
May 1, 2015 5:42 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45347
May 1, 2015 5:42 AM - jbigler1986: this is the last part. the main body
May 1, 2015 5:43 AM - Stargrove1: labour day, not labor day
May 1, 2015 5:43 AM - Stargrove1: That thing is big!
May 1, 2015 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: you were right the first time
May 1, 2015 5:44 AM - Stargrove1: Oh really?
May 1, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: yep
May 1, 2015 5:45 AM - Stargrove1: I don't need to spell it that often. I think I learned in school like that, might it be in British English differently?
May 1, 2015 5:46 AM - jbigler1986: probably
May 1, 2015 5:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: because of this guy > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Webster
May 1, 2015 5:47 AM - Stargrove1: Good to know
May 1, 2015 5:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: in an effort to help create separation from england he formalized some spelling changes so that they are a bit more phonetic
May 1, 2015 5:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: so england and canada will spell theatre, labour, etc
May 1, 2015 5:48 AM - jbigler1986: and make things more confusing
May 1, 2015 5:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: and australia for that matter
May 1, 2015 5:48 AM - Stargrove1: You should hear the cassettes (yes I am old) the used to play during the English lessons ... sounded very British ;-)
May 1, 2015 5:49 AM - jbigler1986: i think most people here are older
May 1, 2015 5:50 AM - jbigler1986: i think me and MK are about the only ones under 30
May 1, 2015 5:50 AM - JeffTheMess: everyone here is married with kids and have steady careers
May 1, 2015 5:50 AM - Stargrove1: Then I'm in good company
May 1, 2015 5:51 AM - jbigler1986: that is true. i would hope someone isn't buying a 3d printer that can't afford it
May 1, 2015 5:51 AM - Stargrove1: Got the Robo used for around 400€ .... the owner couldn't get it running properly
May 1, 2015 5:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: so far so good for you?
May 1, 2015 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: So I was trying to call Robo yesterday and I called Braydon's cell phone. woops
May 1, 2015 5:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: haha
May 1, 2015 5:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: that is one way to get what you need out of them
May 1, 2015 5:53 AM - JeffTheMess: go straight to the source
May 1, 2015 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: true that
May 1, 2015 5:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: an old boss of mine had a favorite tactic to get other people to do their job when he needed something of them.
May 1, 2015 5:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: he would just call every hour asking if it was done yet.
May 1, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: it went to voicemail and said his name. i was like. "ughhh"
May 1, 2015 5:55 AM - JeffTheMess: sounds like a kid in the back seat "are we there yet"
May 1, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: that is so annoying
May 1, 2015 5:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: should have left a long rambling message
May 1, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: lol. should have
May 1, 2015 5:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: it was very effective for when things were past due
May 1, 2015 5:56 AM - JeffTheMess: jb, you went back to the spool in the back, you didn't like the top?
May 1, 2015 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: i made my own holder. did you see it?
May 1, 2015 5:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: you didn't hear about the bent heat break?
May 1, 2015 5:57 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah i did but didn't know he went back to the...back
May 1, 2015 5:58 AM - JeffTheMess: if it were tangled it shouldn't matter if the spool was on top or the back, right?

 

May 1, 2015 5:58 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/QPCV94Z
May 1, 2015 5:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: but the spool could fall and break the glass
May 1, 2015 5:58 AM - jbigler1986: bingo
May 1, 2015 5:59 AM - JeffTheMess: oh ok thanks for clearing that up,
May 1, 2015 5:59 AM - jbigler1986: which i got lucky the holder didn't break
May 1, 2015 5:59 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, you did
May 1, 2015 5:59 AM - JeffTheMess: you design the spool holder?
May 1, 2015 6:00 AM - jbigler1986: it was bowed out like crazy. should have taken pics of the whole event
May 1, 2015 6:00 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I did jeff
May 1, 2015 6:00 AM - JeffTheMess: nice, you are getting the hang of it

May 1, 2015 6:09 AM - jbigler1986: i have corel video studio but not sure if you guys have a better suggestion
May 1, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: as a 30 hours print with that would be like a 500gb file
May 1, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: 4 hour football game was like 10gb
May 1, 2015 6:11 AM - JeffTheMess: i thought you can record on ustream?
May 1, 2015 6:13 AM - jbigler1986: you can but it loses connection a lot
May 1, 2015 6:14 AM - jbigler1986: not sure if that just stops the stream or both
May 1, 2015 6:18 AM - JeffTheMess: ah...ok

May 1, 2015 7:17 AM - jbigler1986: MK do you suggest a webcam recording software?
May 1, 2015 7:17 AM - daniel871: I'm a little worried I may have broken my Robo with this thing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:515365/#instructions
May 1, 2015 7:17 AM - jbigler1986: How did you break it?
May 1, 2015 7:17 AM - daniel871: Printed that, put it on with the m8 nut. Ran Z Home and Z axis jogs up about 10mm and stops like it's done.
May 1, 2015 7:18 AM - jbigler1986: What are you using that for?
May 1, 2015 7:19 AM - daniel871: The threaded rod was visibly waving around at the top whenever the printer was running something at speeds higher than 20mm/s
May 1, 2015 7:20 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't really have a good suggestion on webcam recording
May 1, 2015 7:20 AM - daniel871: To be clear: Robo isn't dead, I'm just thinking that Z-axis stabilizer doesn't work as intended for whatever reason.
May 1, 2015 7:21 AM - Mike Kelly: are your z_min endstops making contact with anything
May 1, 2015 7:21 AM - daniel871: Nope, this was about halfway up the rods.
May 1, 2015 7:23 AM - Mike Kelly: the autolevel sensors need to make contact with the idler
May 1, 2015 7:23 AM - jbigler1986: Yep
May 1, 2015 7:24 AM - daniel871: Dial it down near the bed, then?
May 1, 2015 7:24 AM - jbigler1986: Check your switches, check if the x axis is level
May 1, 2015 7:26 AM - daniel871: Will do when I get home from work.
May 1, 2015 7:26 AM - JeffTheMess: I love how everyone online now is at work trying to solve problems for there robo
May 1, 2015 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: Ikr

May 1, 2015 7:28 AM - jbigler1986: Not for me. Committed
May 1, 2015 7:28 AM - Bill Monroe: not everyone
May 1, 2015 7:28 AM - JeffTheMess: im busy at work and im on lol
May 1, 2015 7:28 AM - daniel871: But can't just go home early, because a customer might have an emergency rush job or something.
May 1, 2015 7:28 AM - JeffTheMess: your in a class of your own bill lol
May 1, 2015 7:28 AM - Bill Monroe: ya. steerage

May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - JeffTheMess: i will not be getting a 10k robo sorry
May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm trying to install the latest solidworks 2015 update so i can't work
May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Kelly: yay!
May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: Just moon them like you like to do
May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Kelly: wait no
May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Kelly: that sucks!
May 1, 2015 7:30 AM - Bill Monroe: I dont want to ruin them for all other guys
May 1, 2015 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: Mike maybe that will help with the rendering times
May 1, 2015 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: It runs good on the crap laptop I use 2015 on
May 1, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Kelly: bah keeps failing trying to run the toolbox updater
May 1, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm really hoping updating to 2015 will solve my loading issues
May 1, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Kelly: i lose so much of my day to that crap
May 1, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Kelly: but that means my manager needs to convince the pres to drop 5k on software
May 1, 2015 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: That's a tough one
May 1, 2015 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: Can you uninstall and then install 2015 instead of running an update
May 1, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i can but then i'd need to download the dvd image which takes a day
May 1, 2015 7:34 AM - daniel871: Maybe you can convince the manager to drop 1k on a workstation build that can run it?

 

May 1, 2015 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: Ouch
May 1, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: my workstation was 2.5k
May 1, 2015 7:35 AM - daniel871: What were the specs?
May 1, 2015 7:35 AM - Mike Kelly: it shouldn't have any issues
May 1, 2015 7:35 AM - JeffTheMess: i was just going to ask that, with that much spent should run clean
May 1, 2015 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: He had a pretty beefy workstation. I never ran 2014 so no clue how well it runs
May 1, 2015 7:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i7 3.5ghz overclocked to 4.3, 32gigs of ram, 256ssd, nvidia quadro K2000
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm still running on 2013
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah his pc isn't the issue.
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - daniel871: You paid too much.
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: apparently 2014 really reduced the file size
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - JeffTheMess: shit thats a beast it must be solidworks
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - daniel871: I got the same thing on my home PC for about $700.
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: this PC is 2 years old
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: you do not have a quadro
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - daniel871: But Newegg had some crazy bundle deals.
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: they're workstation graphics cards
May 1, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: they command a high price tag
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: because businesses are pretty exclusive buyers
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - daniel871: PNY KS2000, but still.
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - JeffTheMess: what year you running on solidworks mike?
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a software issue
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: i said 2013
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah a gaming graphics card can do really well for a workstation too
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - daniel871: Too many zeroes.
May 1, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: gaming cards do just fine but workstation cards really excel
May 1, 2015 7:38 AM - daniel871: Hang on, I take that back.
May 1, 2015 7:38 AM - Mike Kelly: this has nothing to do with my graphics
May 1, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah if the company wants to spend the money on it. Go ahead. I personally wouldn't
May 1, 2015 7:38 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 1, 2015 7:38 AM - JeffTheMess: i hope it work for u mike
May 1, 2015 7:39 AM - Mike Kelly: me too, i really want to upgrade to 2015 but it's kinda slow moving since i have no budget
May 1, 2015 7:39 AM - jbigler1986: Download the image over the weekend
May 1, 2015 7:39 AM - daniel871:
May 1, 2015 7:39 AM - daniel871: K2000, not KS2000
May 1, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: how bout that
May 1, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: that shut me up
May 1, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: but yeah i don't remember how much we paid
May 1, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i think it was like 2k but that was a year or so ago
May 1, 2015 7:40 AM - daniel871: It was a lucky break on catching sales on Newegg for me though.
May 1, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 1, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: quadro k2000's still sell for freaking $400
May 1, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: i have no idea how they haven't dropped in price
May 1, 2015 7:42 AM - daniel871: Motherboard, case, processor, HDD and RAM were $300, the quadro was the rest.
May 1, 2015 7:42 AM - jbigler1986: Probably going to do dual processors within the next year. Jerry aka nerdgasm just pushed me over the edge
May 1, 2015 7:43 AM - jbigler1986: How did that print go with the R1 mike
May 1, 2015 7:44 AM - JeffTheMess: did mike ever get that second r1?
May 1, 2015 7:46 AM - jbigler1986: It's his first R1. But yeah he got it
May 1, 2015 7:47 AM - jbigler1986: Pretty sure his other one is a kickstarter. Could be wrong though
May 1, 2015 7:48 AM - Mike Kelly: the naming convention has always been a bit weird, but yes i got my second R1
May 1, 2015 7:48 AM - JeffTheMess: we can say his second robo, yeah his first robo was a kickstarter
May 1, 2015 7:48 AM - JeffTheMess: you like it so far?
May 1, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i only had time to run one print
May 1, 2015 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: It's already tore apart.
May 1, 2015 7:49 AM - JeffTheMess: hahaa
May 1, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: heh nope
May 1, 2015 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: was just the printer though so i had to scrounge up a usb cable and power cable
May 1, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: Did the part turn out fine
May 1, 2015 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: you should see my "spool holder" lol
May 1, 2015 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: yup it was a good print
May 1, 2015 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: uploading pictures now
May 1, 2015 7:50 AM - JeffTheMess: cool
May 1, 2015 7:51 AM - JeffTheMess: good to know they appreciate your work
May 1, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: yup it was a nice birthday gift from them
May 1, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: so what do you guys think would be better, a bunch of short videos going over 1 topic
May 1, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: or one longer "advanced unboxing" video that goes over all the common gotchas
May 1, 2015 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: Did you have to change the firmware?
May 1, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
May 1, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: i actually forgot to check but it printed to spec
May 1, 2015 7:52 AM - jbigler1986: Wonder if they made sure yours was good
May 1, 2015 7:53 AM - JeffTheMess: i think short vids so you wont lose people's attention or have a long vids with "chapters" you can go straight too
May 1, 2015 7:54 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'll have like timestamp links in the description for jumping to topics
May 1, 2015 7:55 AM - JeffTheMess: good
May 1, 2015 7:56 AM - JeffTheMess: can't wait to see it
May 1, 2015 7:57 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/p0WXtQv.jpg some resonance artifacts
May 1, 2015 7:59 AM - JeffTheMess: not to bad
May 1, 2015 7:59 AM - jbigler1986: You should print a part with the wrong firmware
May 1, 2015 8:00 AM - JeffTheMess: what he should do is make a vid with this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:704409/#comments and show how something can be fixed
May 1, 2015 8:00 AM - JeffTheMess: food for thought
May 1, 2015 8:01 AM - Mike Kelly: alright i give up trying to update my 2015 install, i'll worry about that later
May 1, 2015 8:02 AM - jbigler1986: I printed that with .6 actually turned out really good
May 1, 2015 8:03 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah i remember you did that... it was good
May 1, 2015 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: Uninstall and install. Sucks though
May 1, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: it has something to do with our toolbox
May 1, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: and i think i can't update it unless no one is accessing it
May 1, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: so it'll have to be the day when we're ready to update all our seats
May 1, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: and kick everyone off
May 1, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: i will tell it to download the dvd image at least
May 1, 2015 8:05 AM - daniel871: Run it between shifts/right before you go home for the day, then it should be ready when you come back the next day?
May 1, 2015 8:05 AM - JeffTheMess: tell everyone to
May 1, 2015 8:05 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm worried that if i update the toolbox it'll cause compatibility issues with 2013
May 1, 2015 8:05 AM - Mike Kelly: so i'm just gonna wait
May 1, 2015 8:05 AM - daniel871: That's pretty much guaranteed if not everyone is on the same version.
May 1, 2015 8:05 AM - Mike Kelly: i only wanted to do it yesterday to be sure i got that update on my license since it expired last night
May 1, 2015 8:06 AM - daniel871: Only thing I don't like about Solidworks is that there is no "Save in previous version" function for people using a newer version of the software than you.
May 1, 2015 8:06 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that drives me crazy
May 1, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: bah god dammit
May 1, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: can't download
May 1, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: i give up
May 1, 2015 8:08 AM - daniel871: Don't bother updating, run the Repair tool.

 

May 1, 2015 8:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm just not doing anything until we get our new licenses
May 1, 2015 8:10 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/UrQKevv.jpg shows the side profile
May 1, 2015 8:10 AM - Mike Kelly: first layer was a bit too high
May 1, 2015 8:12 AM - jbigler1986: Run a bootleg version. Lol
May 1, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: seriously, less of a damn hassle
May 1, 2015 8:12 AM - jbigler1986: On ur work pc. Sure they will love it
May 1, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: legit owning software should not be this complicated
May 1, 2015 8:14 AM - daniel871: Did they pay for the support contract?
May 1, 2015 8:14 AM - daniel871: Because I know SW loves the support contract.
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - daniel871: Might as well send in a support ticket and get the rep to handle it.
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what we're trying to renew
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: my license expired yesterday
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - daniel871: Hahaha.
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - daniel871: It was coded to fail after the license expired.
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: probably
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: "now you have to pay us for the renewal and $500 to 'reinstate' your license
May 1, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: schmucks
May 1, 2015 8:16 AM - daniel871: Whatever happened to the software license not expiring and the support contract being a separate thing.
May 1, 2015 8:16 AM - JeffTheMess: isn't the legit world wonderful
May 1, 2015 8:16 AM - Mike Kelly: they realized they could make more money by screwing over businesses
May 1, 2015 8:16 AM - daniel871: The 2013 license we have at work never expires, we just no longer have support.
May 1, 2015 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i mean i don't lose my existing licenses but i can't update the software anymore
May 1, 2015 8:17 AM - daniel871: Yeah, updates are part of the support contract.
May 1, 2015 8:17 AM - daniel871: Even if the updates are for the version you're using and you aren't trying to get the latest/greatest.
May 1, 2015 8:18 AM - daniel871: Like, we're stuck at SP0.0 because we never downloaded the service packs.
May 1, 2015 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 1, 2015 8:18 AM - daniel871: *That* is why your updates are failing, more likely.
May 1, 2015 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: at best we'll be able to run sp 2.1 on 2015 now because that's as high as this license got before it expired
May 1, 2015 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: na it should have worked last night but failed
May 1, 2015 8:19 AM - daniel871: Did you do it as an "Update" or as a "Repair"?
May 1, 2015 8:19 AM - daniel871: They're apparently different enough in the installation manager to affect how they work.
May 1, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: Like, if the license is expired, "Update" will fail, but "Repair" for something you've already downloaded will work.
May 1, 2015 8:20 AM - Mike Kelly: i was trying an update
May 1, 2015 8:21 AM - daniel871: Try doing it under the "Repair this installation" function in the Installation manager. I can't remember if there is an option to include service pack updates after it does the repair or not though.
May 1, 2015 8:22 AM - Mike Kelly: ok i'll try that when i'm ready to update
May 1, 2015 8:40 AM - Bill Monroe: http://ustre.am/1o197
May 1, 2015 8:41 AM - JeffTheMess: thats a big gear
May 1, 2015 8:41 AM - Bill Monroe: yes, it is
May 1, 2015 8:41 AM - JeffTheMess: whats it for
May 1, 2015 8:42 AM - Bill Monroe: sort of a mechanical art piece
May 1, 2015 8:42 AM - JeffTheMess: cool
May 1, 2015 8:44 AM - Bill Monroe: think I might switch to wood though
May 1, 2015 8:55 AM - jbigler1986: new camera bill?
May 1, 2015 8:56 AM - jbigler1986: or did you just switch from vaugn to ustream
May 1, 2015 8:58 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/aRjM0zr just got these in.
May 1, 2015 9:01 AM - Bill Monroe: it's not new.. I used to use it for showing docs on video conferences
May 1, 2015 9:01 AM - Bill Monroe: jb, you use ustream yes?
May 1, 2015 9:01 AM - jbigler1986: pretty clear
May 1, 2015 9:01 AM - jbigler1986: yes i do
May 1, 2015 9:01 AM - Bill Monroe: free?
May 1, 2015 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
May 1, 2015 9:02 AM - Bill Monroe: how? I didnt see an option
May 1, 2015 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: ustream producer
May 1, 2015 9:02 AM - Bill Monroe: oh.. bradcaster is different?
May 1, 2015 9:02 AM - Bill Monroe: broadcaster
May 1, 2015 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: you can upgrade and pay but no reason to
May 1, 2015 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: i think it's ustream producer. let me check
May 1, 2015 9:04 AM - Bill Monroe: ya found it. but it still has fees
May 1, 2015 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: uhhh
May 1, 2015 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: let me send you the version i have
May 1, 2015 9:05 AM - Bill Monroe: thanks!

May 1, 2015 9:23 AM - jbigler1986: i like esun clear spools
May 1, 2015 9:23 AM - Bill Monroe: thanks
May 1, 2015 9:23 AM - Bill Monroe: better than colorfabb?
May 1, 2015 9:24 AM - jbigler1986: i have only had one of their spools and that was a while ago
May 1, 2015 9:24 AM - jbigler1986: looks really nice
May 1, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: let me grab a pic
May 1, 2015 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah esuns spools are really top notch
May 1, 2015 9:29 AM - daniel871: Ugh. Have to go out to get lunch and my options are Taco Bell, Arby's and Wendy's.
May 1, 2015 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: arby's is the healthiest
May 1, 2015 9:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: thats brutal
May 1, 2015 9:30 AM - Bill Monroe: Arbys
May 1, 2015 9:30 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/9yjc3qi
May 1, 2015 9:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: i'd starve
May 1, 2015 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd eat any of them
May 1, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm addicted to wendy's spicy chicken sandwich
May 1, 2015 9:31 AM - daniel871: Wendy's is in one of those "Corner of a red light intersection" lots that's a pain to get in and out of, so it'll probably be Arby's.
May 1, 2015 9:32 AM - jbigler1986: spicy chicken is the bomb
May 1, 2015 9:32 AM - daniel871: Plus somebody put a bunch of Arby's coupons on the wall in the breakroom.
May 1, 2015 9:33 AM - Stephen Capistron: best part of the esun spools are the free bolts
May 1, 2015 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: although i rarely eat fast food. that shit is horrible for you
May 1, 2015 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i see those inside there
May 1, 2015 9:33 AM - Stephen Capistron: free included
May 1, 2015 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i really need to change my diet
May 1, 2015 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i've got some left over himalayan food for lunch
May 1, 2015 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: i really shouldn't say much, i just ate leftover chinese
May 1, 2015 9:34 AM - daniel871: I'll just have to run an extra mile when I work out this evening or something.
May 1, 2015 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: just because you are over 5,000 feet that doesn't make it himalayan
May 1, 2015 9:34 AM - jbigler1986: no need to workout. just eat good enough and be active enough
May 1, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: heh
May 1, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: chicken chow chow
May 1, 2015 9:35 AM - daniel871: No need to work out just work out
May 1, 2015 9:35 AM - daniel871: Have to work out to make up for a desk job.
May 1, 2015 9:36 AM - jbigler1986: i have a desk job as well. kids keep me active enough
May 1, 2015 9:36 AM - daniel871: No kids here, can't have 'em.
May 1, 2015 9:37 AM - daniel871: Stupid chemo

 

May 1, 2015 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: sorry to hear that
May 1, 2015 9:37 AM - jbigler1986: ^
May 1, 2015 9:37 AM - daniel871: (not really that big of a deal considering anybody I date is liable to already have kids of their own)
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - daniel871: What with living in The South and being in my 30s.
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: heh
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: hopefully this thermistor fits inside the v6 heat block
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: it won't
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: those are epcos
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: can put it in the m3 spot
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: suppose that's true
May 1, 2015 9:39 AM - daniel871: So did anybody have any thoughts about that poster's idea to just re-use the stock heater with the E3D v6?
May 1, 2015 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i've suggested doing that before
May 1, 2015 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: i have some m3 screws now anyways.
May 1, 2015 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: you could do a make your own stud thermistor
May 1, 2015 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: ?
May 1, 2015 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: drill out an M3 set screw then run the thermistor legs through it
May 1, 2015 9:41 AM - daniel871: Screw in the M3 screw, attach the thermister legs to the screw?
May 1, 2015 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: wonder if i still have the screw from the threaded one
May 1, 2015 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: think i tossed it
May 1, 2015 9:41 AM - Mike Kelly: really should be a set screw
May 1, 2015 9:41 AM - Mike Kelly: i can throw in a couple when i mail your the bowden adapters
May 1, 2015 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: i would have to order it right?
May 1, 2015 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: fastenal maybe?
May 1, 2015 9:42 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah they should have them
May 1, 2015 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: let me check
May 1, 2015 9:43 AM - jbigler1986: https://www.fastenal.com/products/d..."|~ ~|categoryl3:"600049 Socket Set Screws"|~
May 1, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: lol 12mm holy shit
May 1, 2015 9:43 AM - daniel871: What about Mcmaster-carr?
May 1, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.fastenal.com/products/d...Socket Set Screws"|~ ~|sattr04:^"M3 - 0.5"$|~
May 1, 2015 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: yeah just the first one i looked at
May 1, 2015 9:45 AM - daniel871: Ooh. http://www.mcmaster.com/#91979a691/=wzri5y
May 1, 2015 9:45 AM - daniel871: Vented.
May 1, 2015 9:45 AM - jbigler1986: no answer. those sluts
May 1, 2015 9:46 AM - daniel871: Could you run the thermistor thru one of those vented set screws?
May 1, 2015 9:46 AM - jbigler1986: wonder if i can pick them up from the corporate office
May 1, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
May 1, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: you'd probably still need to expand the hole a bit
May 1, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: depending on the vent diameter
May 1, 2015 9:47 AM - daniel871: 1.2mm vent hole
May 1, 2015 9:47 AM - daniel871: 1.5mm hex
May 1, 2015 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: that would be good
May 1, 2015 9:48 AM - daniel871: I love how easy it is to find whatever on McMaster. Search functions on MSC and other sites suck real hard in comparison.
May 1, 2015 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah agreed
May 1, 2015 9:49 AM - Mike Kelly: MMC has the best search tool of any hardware supplier
May 1, 2015 9:49 AM - daniel871: Also the 3D models for just about everything except the goofy ones where the manufacturer refuses to share.
May 1, 2015 9:49 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah though it's frustrating when they don't have something it seems like they should
May 1, 2015 9:50 AM - jbigler1986: 1/8th is to big right
May 1, 2015 9:50 AM - daniel871: They sent me a sample piece and their 2d template drawing for a part they didn't have a model of when I used that feedback page for for a pipe connection
May 1, 2015 9:51 AM - daniel871: NPT cam-and-groove pipe connectors.
May 1, 2015 9:51 AM - daniel871: That was pretty cool.
May 1, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: heh i modeled those myself
May 1, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess i never considered that
May 1, 2015 9:52 AM - daniel871: It was kind of a "What the hell? Worth a shot" and clicked "No." on the "Was this page helpful" link when looking at the specific part I needed.
May 1, 2015 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: very cool, i'll have to try that next time i run across something that I need
May 1, 2015 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: the cams were easy but the groove locks were kind of a pain to model
May 1, 2015 9:53 AM - daniel871: BBL, off to get heartburn/lunch
May 1, 2015 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: enjoy
May 1, 2015 10:00 AM - jbigler1986: mike mike mike mike mike, guess what day it is? woot woot
May 1, 2015 10:02 AM - Bill Monroe: http://ustre.am/1o197
May 1, 2015 10:03 AM - jbigler1986: looking good
May 1, 2015 10:03 AM - jbigler1986: what's in the center?
May 1, 2015 10:03 AM - Bill Monroe: just some holes
May 1, 2015 10:05 AM - jbigler1986: gotcha
May 1, 2015 10:05 AM - Bill Monroe: I made one of these in Jelutong years ago... my ex smashed it as she was storming out the door
May 1, 2015 10:05 AM - jbigler1986: is that shaxon black or something else
May 1, 2015 10:06 AM - Bill Monroe: it made a very satisfactory hollow clunking sound each time the escapement triggered
May 1, 2015 10:06 AM - Bill Monroe: it's colorfabb PLA/PHA
May 1, 2015 10:08 AM - jbigler1986: why spend so much. tisk tisk tisk
May 1, 2015 10:08 AM - Mike Kelly: what day is it?
May 1, 2015 10:09 AM - jbigler1986: friday! woot woot
May 1, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: yes it is
May 1, 2015 10:09 AM - Bill Monroe: the only shaxon I have is blue
May 1, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: apparently we're going to happy hour with some friends but i just wanna go home and play with my toys
May 1, 2015 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: tell the wife
May 1, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah well i can't be antisocial all the time
May 1, 2015 10:11 AM - jbigler1986: why not
May 1, 2015 10:12 AM - jbigler1986: your robos will talk to you
May 1, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: the new one is quite loud
May 1, 2015 10:13 AM - jbigler1986: mine was at first
May 1, 2015 10:13 AM - jbigler1986: lube it up
May 1, 2015 10:15 AM - Mike Kelly: yup gonna
May 1, 2015 10:15 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to look around the office and see if we have any lithium spray, the door by me is crazy squeeky
May 1, 2015 10:15 AM - jbigler1986: mine is so quiet now that i literally forgot it's on sometimes
May 1, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i should replace some fans
May 1, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Kelly: the psu fan seems really loud
May 1, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: i might swap in my old power supply, that thing is dead silent i forget it's even on'
May 1, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: yeah psu fan and ramps fan are the loudest things on mine. I plan on fixing that at some point
May 1, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i think the ramps fan is also a bit loud
May 1, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Kelly: the 25mm fan has a decent buzz to it as well
May 1, 2015 10:20 AM - jbigler1986: at least you know they are working.
May 1, 2015 10:22 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 1, 2015 10:22 AM - Mike Kelly: still quieter than robostein
May 1, 2015 10:24 AM - jbigler1986: LOL
May 1, 2015 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: magnetic mount?
May 1, 2015 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: for a few cookies
May 1, 2015 10:26 AM - Mike Kelly: magnetic mount?
May 1, 2015 10:26 AM - jbigler1986: the one to hold the hotend
May 1, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: oh yeah that thing
May 1, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll add it to my project list
May 1, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: gotta love my companies documentation method "Go out there and figure out what they did"

 

May 1, 2015 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: that is probably a mile long
May 1, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: >=(
May 1, 2015 10:28 AM - Mike Kelly: at least a mile
May 1, 2015 10:32 AM - jbigler1986: you missed some fun convo's while you were gone
May 1, 2015 10:35 AM - jbigler1986: ignore these 2 links i'm about to post

May 1, 2015 10:42 AM - jbigler1986: well someone is busy
May 1, 2015 10:42 AM - jbigler1986:
May 1, 2015 10:42 AM - jbigler1986: lol
May 1, 2015 10:43 AM - Mike Kelly: got a lot of catching up to do
May 1, 2015 10:43 AM - Mike Kelly: what should i call my youtube channel
May 1, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: nah. it was just a couple people that issues with a single extruder that they can't firgure out and they are going to dual now
May 1, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: mkelly....
May 1, 2015 10:44 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah sounds right
May 1, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: just made me laugh
May 1, 2015 10:45 AM - Mike Kelly: dual extrusion is no cake walk
May 1, 2015 10:45 AM - jbigler1986: that's what me and bill were trying to explain
May 1, 2015 10:46 AM - jbigler1986: just trying to go single bowden was a pain
May 1, 2015 10:46 AM - Mike Kelly: just a lot of things to consider
May 1, 2015 10:47 AM - Bill Monroe: I adopted the immortal words of Beaver CLeaver's Mom when she said "Chump dont want no hep, chump don't get no hop"
May 1, 2015 10:47 AM - Bill Monroe: err hep
May 1, 2015 10:47 AM - jbigler1986: who would want hepatitis
May 1, 2015 10:48 AM - Bill Monroe: later... my jello has arrived
May 1, 2015 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: god i hate this 40' trailer design, everything is so freaking cramped
May 1, 2015 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: we should have just built the 48' version
May 1, 2015 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: but that costs thousands extra. maybe lots and lots of thousands
May 1, 2015 10:50 AM - Bill Monroe: starting at 1:20
May 1, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: actually the 40' trailer is more expensive than the 48'
May 1, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: because it's custom and 48' is standard
May 1, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: we'd spend a bit more on the frame materials but steel is cheap
May 1, 2015 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: the rest is near identical, just more room to work in and service in
May 1, 2015 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: whatever
May 1, 2015 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: seems like shits about to hit the fan anyways
May 1, 2015 10:53 AM - Mike Kelly: who knew it was important to do economic analysis before developing a product!
May 1, 2015 10:53 AM - jbigler1986: people don't think about that
May 1, 2015 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: especially not a scientist playing businessman
May 1, 2015 10:55 AM - jbigler1986: we go through the same kind of crap. "hey lets make this as cheap as possible""oh shit it broke and we need to send a new one""now we are losing money"
May 1, 2015 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: our business model made more sense when we were just going to sell the system and let them deal with it
May 1, 2015 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: then we found out no one wants to buy it, they're rather rent it
May 1, 2015 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: so we get to be the owners and operators
May 1, 2015 10:57 AM - jbigler1986: that does suck
May 1, 2015 11:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: i got a couple friends in the energy biz
May 1, 2015 11:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: they don't like being owner operators either
May 1, 2015 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/6ApObL5
May 1, 2015 11:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: fund it, make it, sell it
May 1, 2015 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: ignore that
May 1, 2015 11:04 AM - jbigler1986: that was before i shimmed the bed. it wasn't perfect. but not bad
May 1, 2015 11:07 AM - jbigler1986: are the little gaps in between the infill and perimeter a slicing thing?
May 1, 2015 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
May 1, 2015 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm. what would fix it
May 1, 2015 11:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: more overlap?
May 1, 2015 11:40 AM - daniel871: Is there any particular reason why Simplify3d would never realize bed temp has been reached and just keeps on heating? Tried using it last night and the print just wouldn't start.
May 1, 2015 11:47 AM - daniel871: Like, "Actual Temperature" reaches and continues to climb past "target" temperature. Was going to print some T-glase with Simplify 3D and it just kept "preheating bed" and never started heating the extruder.
May 1, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd try a new profile
May 1, 2015 11:51 AM - daniel871: I'm thinking something was just wonky yesterday evening and I should have shut down and restarted both the PC and the Robo at the first sign of trouble.
May 1, 2015 11:53 AM - Mike Kelly: also a good plan
May 1, 2015 11:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: it is depressing how often, turn it off and turn it back on works
May 1, 2015 11:56 AM - jbigler1986: that's why lcd is so nice. stop the print
May 1, 2015 11:56 AM - jbigler1986: i start and stop so many prints when trying to get the offset perfect
May 1, 2015 11:56 AM - daniel871: Yeah, I'm definitely keen on getting the LCD/SD card setup going. I think most of my consistency/running issues are because of the USB and the SD card in the printer randomly disconnecting mid-print.
May 1, 2015 11:57 AM - daniel871: As in, I start an SD card print, get a "SD card not found" error while the preheating is going on. Card is definitely in it's slot on the printer because I loaded the program from there.
May 1, 2015 11:58 AM - jbigler1986: what software
May 1, 2015 11:58 AM - daniel871: Both Matter Control and Simplify 3D have the same error. I'm thinking the SD card bit that came with the Robo is damaged or something.
May 1, 2015 11:58 AM - Mike Kelly: might be worth contacting s3d, they know their software best and are really quick to respond
May 1, 2015 11:59 AM - jbigler1986: take the bottom cover off and see if it is loose
May 1, 2015 12:06 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm really not interested in going back to work...
May 1, 2015 12:07 PM - Stephen Capistron: i'm working from home today
May 1, 2015 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: i haven't done shit the past 2 hours
May 1, 2015 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i should just work from home
May 1, 2015 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd probably get less frustrated
May 1, 2015 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: don't plan on it for the next 2 either
May 1, 2015 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622 gonna use this to test my new R1
May 1, 2015 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: my camera needed angled higher and i guess it wanted to do it all by itself
May 1, 2015 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: i like it

May 1, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: lol his printer fails
May 1, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i just have a million steps lying around
May 1, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: want to try something new
May 1, 2015 12:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: can just sand it, it was laywood
May 1, 2015 12:13 PM - Mike Kelly: not really the point of a torture test
May 1, 2015 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: i like that it's a test and after i can give it to my kids
May 1, 2015 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: i think i'm good with torture tests
May 1, 2015 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: MK do you think there is enough space to get a small shroud on the dual fan mount

May 1, 2015 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: "try mtter controll to do the same thing without needing a probe. " wtf
May 1, 2015 12:51 PM - jbigler1986: quote of the day right there
May 1, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah that's a good joke
May 1, 2015 12:56 PM - jbigler1986: can't believe someone actually posted that as a comment on that video

May 1, 2015 12:59 PM - Wraith: hey guys, get my printer delivered next Tuesday...anywhere to look besides thiniverse for prints?
May 1, 2015 12:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: grabcad has some
May 1, 2015 1:00 PM - Wraith: ok, thanks
May 1, 2015 1:00 PM - JeffTheMess: print some of the recommended stuff first
May 1, 2015 1:00 PM - jbigler1986: myminifactory
May 1, 2015 1:01 PM - Wraith: i will, just like browsing
May 1, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Kelly: youmagine

May 1, 2015 1:02 PM - Stephen Capistron: robos still ship with that flyer about Robos sharing space?
May 1, 2015 1:02 PM - Wraith: wont know until Tuesday
May 1, 2015 1:03 PM - JeffTheMess: i think so
May 1, 2015 1:04 PM - Mike Kelly: according to carautotech's video they do
May 1, 2015 1:06 PM - Wraith: anyone made their own 3d scanner?
May 1, 2015 1:07 PM - daniel871: I've got a list of stuff to print and order, but haven't actually done it yet.
May 1, 2015 1:07 PM - daniel871: It seems that the home made ones are never accurate enough for a mechanical assembly of any kind, but will be good enough for artistic stuff.
May 1, 2015 1:08 PM - Wraith: ah, ok. I kinda like the isense scanner
May 1, 2015 1:08 PM - daniel871: The one for the iPad?
May 1, 2015 1:09 PM - daniel871: Just googled, n/m, yeah.
May 1, 2015 1:09 PM - jbigler1986: this is a great idea

May 1, 2015 1:09 PM - Mike Kelly: i so need that
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - jbigler1986: which one
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: not the hat
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: the torque wrench
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: the hat is dreadful
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - jbigler1986: yeah the torque looks awesome
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - JeffTheMess: lol
May 1, 2015 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: "This idea, it is horrible"
May 1, 2015 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: i am so printing that torque wrench after this candy dispenser is done
May 1, 2015 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: i really need that for the cyclops
May 1, 2015 1:14 PM - jbigler1986: wonder if i have enough of this taulman 910 for it
May 1, 2015 1:14 PM - jbigler1986: probably not
May 1, 2015 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: glad i stumbled on that. thanks for reminding me of youmagine
May 1, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i wish it had better features
May 1, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: really is a better option than thingiverse but it just lacks the niceties

May 1, 2015 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: mike do you think that could be adapted to the robo
May 1, 2015 1:25 PM - Mike Kelly: anything is possible
May 1, 2015 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: i was just curious. not messing with bowden for a little while
May 1, 2015 1:27 PM - bamhm182: Hey everyone, how's it going?
May 1, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Kelly: oh you know, livin large
May 1, 2015 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: gonna print that torque wrench on the rep2x
May 1, 2015 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: never thought about a torque wrench. i will use that forsure
May 1, 2015 1:33 PM - Mike Kelly: i wish the hexagon used a standard shape nozzle
May 1, 2015 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: yeah not a fan of that
May 1, 2015 1:51 PM - Mike Kelly: ugh i feel like such a mushroom at work
May 1, 2015 1:51 PM - jbigler1986: never heard that one
May 1, 2015 1:51 PM - Mike Kelly: "kept in the dark and fed shit"
May 1, 2015 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: haha
May 1, 2015 1:55 PM - bamhm182: Haha, that's awesome. Going to have to remember that one
May 1, 2015 1:56 PM - bamhm182: Found something to use all my random little bits of leftover filament on
May 1, 2015 1:56 PM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:393289
May 1, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: emmett is awesome
May 1, 2015 1:58 PM - jbigler1986: hope he does good things with microsoft
May 1, 2015 1:58 PM - bamhm182: The gyroid uses about 5g, the stick uses about .6g, so you could make a few gyroids and sticks out of the material that is too short to do anything else with
May 1, 2015 1:58 PM - bamhm182: Plus it's modular so you can always use more, and mismatching colors is half the fun
May 1, 2015 1:58 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, that would be sweet, especially considering how they're trying to add more and more support for 3D printing
May 1, 2015 2:01 PM - bamhm182: I seriously need to finish printing his cube, or just reprint it all together. I tried printing it WAY before I should have, so my prints kept failing or turning out wrong and I never came back to it
May 1, 2015 2:03 PM - bamhm182: Just kinda skimming through what I missed, noticed there was some talk about people switching over to bowden/dual and it being a huge PITA.
May 1, 2015 2:05 PM - bamhm182: I know it's going to be difficult, so I'm planning on doing this over a longer period of time, making sure to get all the kinks worked out of each step before moving onto the next one. So far this is the order I'm thinking for my process
May 1, 2015 2:06 PM - bamhm182: 1. Single Bowden Extruder, no hot end
May 1, 2015 2:06 PM - bamhm182: 2. Get the single Bowden to work with the standard Hex and Mike's modular carriage
May 1, 2015 2:07 PM - bamhm182: 3. Dual bowden, no hot end
May 1, 2015 2:08 PM - bamhm182: 4. Replace hex with Cyclops, plug one end and get it to extrude well with one color
May 1, 2015 2:08 PM - bamhm182: *from one spool
May 1, 2015 2:08 PM - bamhm182: 5. Work on getting two spools working with the Cyclops
May 1, 2015 2:09 PM - bamhm182: I wouldn't move from one step onto the next without a good bit of testing and configuring. Basically, I would want everything working "perfectly" on the current step before moving onto the next step. Thoughts?
May 1, 2015 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: quite a bit of steps
May 1, 2015 2:19 PM - bamhm182: Think it's too many? I mean, if I just take it step by step like that, I think I would be able to do it with less headaches than if I just threw it all together
May 1, 2015 2:21 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess 1-2 and 3-4 are one step for me
May 1, 2015 2:21 PM - bamhm182: Obviously each step wouldn't take the same amount of time, like I imagine once I got step 1 done, step 2 would be pretty simple, then step 3 is basically step 1, but with a couple tweaks
May 1, 2015 2:22 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, that makes sense, but considering I've never done bowden before, yet alone two of them, there are going to be a few surprises in setting those up that I'm going to have to work through. I'd rather know exactly where the problem lays
May 1, 2015 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: for playing with bowden i'd suggest keeping the stock carriage and just using plate to mount the e3d
May 1, 2015 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: or hexagon if that's what you're using
May 1, 2015 2:27 PM - bamhm182: I'm confused about how I could do bowden with the stock carriage
May 1, 2015 2:31 PM - Stephen Capistron: This is the most terrible extruder idea i can come up with. A left hand and right hand nut sandwich one on top of the other rotating in opposite directions with the filament passing through the center. The nuts would be fixed in space so the filament is driven like a lead screw
May 1, 2015 2:34 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 1, 2015 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: You can go bowden with stock carriage without issues
May 1, 2015 2:43 PM - jbigler1986: Looking beautiful http://imgur.com/3TyMMtf
May 1, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: real nice

May 1, 2015 2:45 PM - jbigler1986: Forgot I turned it down to 90 percent FR the other day. Afraid to change it though
May 1, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: stephen i think that's how stratasys drives their filament
May 1, 2015 2:45 PM - bamhm182: I'm just trying to figure out how. I can't think of anywhere to put the bowden tube
May 1, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: like a screw charger
May 1, 2015 2:45 PM - Stephen Capistron: fix it till it is broken
May 1, 2015 2:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: it
May 1, 2015 2:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: do it

 

May 1, 2015 2:46 PM - bamhm182: And what is that that you're printing, jb? Parts for your vending machine?
May 1, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: you need an M6 to 4mm ptc fitting
May 1, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: at least i think it's m6, i forget
May 1, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: might be m7
May 1, 2015 2:47 PM - bamhm182: Dang, I bought a few m5s, but I don't have any m6/7
May 1, 2015 2:48 PM - bamhm182: Ooooh, now I see it!
May 1, 2015 2:48 PM - bamhm182: It has been a while since I have taken apart the carriage. I forgot that the motor and its plastic is basically just bolted on there
May 1, 2015 2:48 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
May 1, 2015 2:52 PM - bamhm182: It looks like it's an M6
May 1, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i think that's correct, i believe i had accidentally told someone before it was m5 when it was actually m6
May 1, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: m7 is kinda a weird size
May 1, 2015 2:58 PM - bamhm182: Alright, got some M6 coming in now too
May 1, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Kelly: ugh i don't wanna make being sociable cause i kinda hate everything right now
May 1, 2015 3:13 PM - bamhm182: Haha, yeeeah
May 1, 2015 3:13 PM - bamhm182: Good luck
May 1, 2015 5:53 PM - bamhm182: Turns out I'm pretty bad at emmett's Gyroid construction set. Haha
May 1, 2015 5:53 PM - bamhm182: Printed off a handful of them and can't for the life of me figure out how they're supposed to go together
May 1, 2015 6:28 PM - jbigler1986: Back
May 1, 2015 6:30 PM - bamhm182: Welcome back
May 1, 2015 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: Did I miss anything
May 1, 2015 6:31 PM - bamhm182: Not as far as I know
May 1, 2015 6:32 PM - bamhm182: Turns out Amazon has no idea what they're doing, because guess what is in stock again, haha
May 1, 2015 6:32 PM - bamhm182: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J0GMMP6
May 1, 2015 6:32 PM - bamhm182: Make up your mind, Amazon!
May 1, 2015 6:32 PM - bamhm182: Wait, but now it's not Prime eligible...
May 1, 2015 6:33 PM - jbigler1986: Got my esun earlier. I'm good on filament for a week or 2. Maybe
May 1, 2015 6:34 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 1, 2015 6:34 PM - jbigler1986: Wtf. Better be prime eligible again
May 1, 2015 6:34 PM - bamhm182: I got a spool of HIPS earlier, so now I just need to get my Cyclops up and running
May 1, 2015 6:34 PM - bamhm182: I'm sure it probably will be
May 1, 2015 6:34 PM - jbigler1986: Might switch to esun if it prints good
May 1, 2015 6:35 PM - bamhm182: Keep me posted. I don't plan on switching from Hatchbox, but it's good to have backups
May 1, 2015 6:35 PM - jbigler1986: This part probably won't be done until Sunday.
May 1, 2015 6:36 PM - bamhm182: Which part is that?
May 1, 2015 6:37 PM - bamhm182: I think I finally figured out how to put together these Gyroids, but I need more sticks. Good thing I'm printing 10 right now
May 1, 2015 6:38 PM - jbigler1986: It's the main body of the vend machine
May 1, 2015 6:39 PM - jbigler1986: The last part I have
May 1, 2015 6:39 PM - bamhm182: I also need to print off this pegboard sign. I made something that should be able to hang onto 2 rows of 5 columns on my pegboard, which should be more than enough for two bowden extruders, but I don't know how sturdy it will be, so I'm printing off a sign to test its strength before I go waste a bunch of filament
May 1, 2015 6:40 PM - bamhm182: Nice! How far into it are you? Didn't you say it was going to take like 50 hours?
May 1, 2015 6:40 PM - jbigler1986: Probably more like 60 something. It's like 33 hours into it
May 1, 2015 6:42 PM - bamhm182: wow, haha
May 1, 2015 6:43 PM - jbigler1986: Depends if the pegboard is solid. I printed a solid plate to mount greg's Wade on which is heavy and it was sturdy
May 1, 2015 6:46 PM - bamhm182: I'm not worried about the pegboard as much as I am the way I'm connecting it to the pegboard
May 1, 2015 6:46 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah that might be an issue q
May 1, 2015 6:46 PM - bamhm182: The pegboard itself, while it isn't the most industrial, is more than sturdy enough
May 1, 2015 6:50 PM - bamhm182:
May 1, 2015 6:51 PM - bamhm182: I was going to see how well this hangs onto the pegboard and how much it moves around
May 1, 2015 6:51 PM - bamhm182: I'm currently using the same design, but with two hooks on top and no pegs on bottom for some bolt/nut holders on the board and they seems sturdy enough
May 1, 2015 6:51 PM - bamhm182: but at the same time, they're not moving...
May 1, 2015 6:54 PM - bamhm182: I might end up just bolting it on there. That would probably be easier and more secure
May 1, 2015 7:10 PM - jbigler1986: MK the thermistors I got fit in the thermistor spot on the e3d heatblock
May 1, 2015 7:14 PM - bamhm182: He's been gone for a minute. Said something about being forced to be social, one can only assume that while that took place, he went insane and ran into the plains never to be seen again
May 1, 2015 7:14 PM - bamhm182: You know, like normal people do when forced to be social
May 1, 2015 8:06 PM - bamhm182: I really wasn't expecting the pegboard to work as nicely as it does on the first try, but with those bottom nubs, it is SNUG. I think it'll work just fine to mount some steppers on, but we'll find out
May 1, 2015 8:25 PM - Mike Kelly: lol heyo
May 1, 2015 8:25 PM - Mike Kelly: can i get your pegboard file?
May 1, 2015 8:28 PM - bamhm182: No problem
May 1, 2015 8:28 PM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:793856
May 1, 2015 8:29 PM - bamhm182: I'm going to upload my new version there real quick
May 1, 2015 8:32 PM - bamhm182: New one should be on there now
May 1, 2015 8:36 PM - bamhm182: By the way, my holes are 7mm and the centers are 25mm apart

 

May 1, 2015 9:34 PM - bamhm182:
May 1, 2015 9:36 PM - bamhm182: Any thoughts? I'm kind of thinking that I might want to add a tray under the steppers in order to support them and take some weight off the current contact points. I might also extend it to 8 pegs.
May 1, 2015 9:37 PM - bamhm182: 8 pegs would allow it to be symmetrical, and also would allow me to put a bit more support for the motors
May 1, 2015 9:38 PM - bamhm182: Also thinking that it's 12:30 and I really should have gone to bed hours ago since I've got a 12 hour work day tomorrow. *facepalm*
May 2, 2015 3:28 AM - jbigler1986: Morning fellas
May 2, 2015 6:41 AM - Bill Monroe: dangit, slept half the day way...
May 2, 2015 6:41 AM - Bill Monroe: away
May 2, 2015 7:51 AM - donhuevo: morning gents
May 2, 2015 8:23 AM - Mike Kelly: Morning everyone
May 2, 2015 8:27 AM - jbigler1986: Back
May 2, 2015 8:27 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
May 2, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: Brewing a beer today
May 2, 2015 8:31 AM - jbigler1986: Nice. I will take one
May 2, 2015 8:32 AM - jbigler1986: I'm wiring the hotend with the connector today. Can't do it on the actual machine yet
May 2, 2015 8:33 AM - jbigler1986: Is there a good way to use nema 17 as a cold end without buying a bunch of parts. That aren't readily available that is
May 2, 2015 8:36 AM - Mike Kelly: Hmm. So you have the nema 17 already?
May 2, 2015 8:37 AM - Mike Kelly: The gregs wade is pretty cheap but it does require a bunch of bits
May 2, 2015 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I have 2 from the ones I bought on Amazon
May 2, 2015 8:38 AM - jbigler1986: Buying screws and bolts isn't a big deal.
May 2, 2015 8:38 AM - Mike Kelly: Dons cold end uses very minimal amount of parts but he reused them from the ezetruder
May 2, 2015 8:39 AM - jbigler1986: Greg's Wade just seems so bulky as a cold end
May 2, 2015 8:39 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah the gregs wade isn't too bad. It uses quite a few bearings
May 2, 2015 8:40 AM - Mike Kelly: Oh it is but for a Bowden cold end having that added torque is nice
May 2, 2015 8:40 AM - Mike Kelly: You could build the hercustruder
May 2, 2015 9:11 AM - donhuevo: that is an outright lie. My cold end is all new. Nothing left of the ezstruder
May 2, 2015 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: Eoah
May 2, 2015 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: Woah*
May 2, 2015 9:20 AM - donhuevo: hey there jb
May 2, 2015 9:26 AM - donhuevo: so tell me about these NEMA 17's you got. Are they just motors or did you get geared motors?
May 2, 2015 9:48 AM - jbigler1986: Let me get the link
May 2, 2015 9:50 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JTSEFQY
May 2, 2015 9:51 AM - donhuevo: your z motors. I thought you bought new cold end motors. sorry. misread it
May 2, 2015 9:51 AM - jbigler1986: Well I can use those for the cold end right?
May 2, 2015 9:52 AM - jbigler1986: The threaded rods are out of them
May 2, 2015 9:53 AM - donhuevo: your old z motors or those linear steppers you just linked. I'm already feeling a headache coming on from the confusion
May 2, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: I thought you used the bearing spring and Hobbed pulley
May 2, 2015 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: Oh now I get where you got the motors
May 2, 2015 10:01 AM - donhuevo: nope. got new springs & the hobbed pulley isn't supplied with the ezstruder. I bought a couple 6mm ones from that company before they went under
May 2, 2015 10:05 AM - donhuevo: Trinity Labs!
May 2, 2015 10:06 AM - donhuevo: and it was 8mm bore not 6
May 2, 2015 10:07 AM - donhuevo: on another note... the oogoo molded golf ball marker was a total fail
May 2, 2015 10:08 AM - donhuevo: thought I would have a high coefficient of friction and it turns out I have almost none. Would make for a great robotic hip joint though
May 2, 2015 10:21 AM - jbigler1986: The linear steppers I bought. Took the rod out of it and installed it into the old z stepper
May 2, 2015 10:23 AM - jbigler1986: So the gear and shaft from the old z stepper motor is in the ones I linked to not being used for anything
May 2, 2015 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: Sounds confusing I know
May 2, 2015 10:28 AM - donhuevo: yeah it does. I'm looking for the Advil
May 2, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: If you look at my thread on it, it might make more sense
May 2, 2015 10:32 AM - donhuevo: what's the link?
May 2, 2015 10:32 AM - bamhm182: Hey guys
May 2, 2015 10:32 AM - jbigler1986: http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...more-couplers-instructions-not-finished.5083/
May 2, 2015 10:35 AM - bamhm182: So do the geared motors use gears instead of electromagnets?
May 2, 2015 10:35 AM - donhuevo: it's a motor with a planetary gear attachment. http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...rque-nema-17-stepper-17hs191684spg5-p-40.html
May 2, 2015 10:36 AM - bamhm182: Gotcha
May 2, 2015 10:37 AM - donhuevo: jb, I have to ask... Why didn't you just swap the motors?
May 2, 2015 10:37 AM - bamhm182: Kind of wish I had looked into that before buying a standard Nema 17 for my upcoming project. Oh well. Maybe next time
May 2, 2015 10:40 AM - jbigler1986: Wiring was an issue. Tried a direct swap.
May 2, 2015 10:41 AM - jbigler1986: Me and Stephen both had the same issue. No clue why. If we plug it into any other connection other than the z it worked fine
May 2, 2015 10:42 AM - bamhm182: What was it doing?
May 2, 2015 10:43 AM - bamhm182: Also, do either of you have any input on the extruder setup I'm thinking about?
May 2, 2015 10:43 AM - bamhm182: It's the last set of pictures
May 2, 2015 10:44 AM - bamhm182: I feel like the motors might weigh too much and might eventually deteriorate the mounts, so I was thinking about adding some sort of platform to help support their weight
May 2, 2015 10:45 AM - donhuevo: are you married to the peg board mount?
May 2, 2015 10:46 AM - jbigler1986: That's not me on that
May 2, 2015 10:46 AM - bamhm182: I was wanting to mount it there because that's where I'm planning on mounting my spools, but if you're completely against it, I might try to think of something else
May 2, 2015 10:47 AM - donhuevo: no, not against it at all. I like the idea. I would say yes to a motor 'shelf'
May 2, 2015 10:49 AM - bamhm182: Alright, cool
May 2, 2015 10:50 AM - bamhm182: I made sure that the mount would be stable by printing it without the motor mounts, and it's VERY snug, so I don't see that being an issue, but we'll find out
May 2, 2015 10:50 AM - donhuevo: I might consider building the shelf and the pegboard hooks under the motors as they'll screw to the extruders. Just thinking out loud
May 2, 2015 10:52 AM - bamhm182: What do you mean by the second statement?
May 2, 2015 10:53 AM - bamhm182: Oh, those ones basically just align it while providing a little support, the ones that actually hold it in place and prevent it from moving aren't really shown in that picture
May 2, 2015 10:54 AM - donhuevo: let me see if I can sketch something up quick. gimme a few...
May 2, 2015 10:54 AM - bamhm182: If you scroll up a little bit past the first picture, you can see some straight plugs that actually hold it snug. I might consider making it three rows
May 2, 2015 11:03 AM - donhuevo: http://i.imgur.com/n4WNHOT.jpg Peg board stuff on the back, motors on top
May 2, 2015 11:03 AM - donhuevo: or did you mean the part where my inner monologue leaks out into the chatroom?
May 2, 2015 11:07 AM - bamhm182: I meant the part about the pegboard hooks being under the motors
May 2, 2015 11:07 AM - jbigler1986: Is a bench vise easier than a c clamp to press bearings. I did some with a c clamp and it was a pain getting them straight
May 2, 2015 11:08 AM - bamhm182: I was thinking about something like that, but making it part of the same print
May 2, 2015 11:08 AM - bamhm182: I imagine it might be a bit easier just because the c-clamp seems like it would move more
May 2, 2015 11:09 AM - donhuevo: I've only ever used a c-clamp
May 2, 2015 11:09 AM - donhuevo: but a vise would probably work better
May 2, 2015 11:10 AM - bamhm182: Anyways, I have to get back to work. I'll see you all around
May 2, 2015 11:12 AM - tesseract: hey everyone
May 2, 2015 11:12 AM - tesseract: how are you doing
May 2, 2015 11:12 AM - jbigler1986: Good. You?
May 2, 2015 11:12 AM - donhuevo: hey stranger
May 2, 2015 11:13 AM - tesseract: good, yeah don it has been a while
May 2, 2015 11:13 AM - donhuevo: how's everything going?
May 2, 2015 11:13 AM - tesseract: I have peeked in now and again but family duties took precedence
May 2, 2015 11:13 AM - donhuevo: understood
May 2, 2015 11:13 AM - tesseract: not too bad migrating to the chimera/cyclops right now
May 2, 2015 11:14 AM - donhuevo: Mike's pretty far down that road
May 2, 2015 11:14 AM - tesseract: but noticed an intersting thing and did not see much on it in the forums so I thought I would check here
May 2, 2015 11:14 AM - tesseract: yeah I know his stuff is really nice
May 2, 2015 11:14 AM - tesseract: but this is about the autolevel routines
May 2, 2015 11:15 AM - tesseract: I run them and get fairly consistant numbers at all the points
May 2, 2015 11:16 AM - tesseract: and as I understand it consistancy is much better than actual values since calculations should take care of discrepancies is that how you see it as well
May 2, 2015 11:16 AM - donhuevo: is it checking 9 points?
May 2, 2015 11:16 AM - tesseract: yeah
May 2, 2015 11:16 AM - tesseract: like I said it is consistant but the thing is
May 2, 2015 11:17 AM - tesseract: when I print a large circular object like a cylinder that is 6-7 inches across

 

May 2, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: tight on the left side?
May 2, 2015 11:18 AM - tesseract: I see one side it is a nice first layer but in different areas it varies significantly
May 2, 2015 11:18 AM - tesseract: with that big an object it is on both sides
May 2, 2015 11:19 AM - donhuevo: I recently drew up a putting cup and it pretty much filled the square on the bed. It ran tight on the left side. scraping the glass tight for the first layer.
May 2, 2015 11:19 AM - tesseract: say for instance on the far right (high x value) the nozzle is almost too high but on the low x side or back it is almost non existant
May 2, 2015 11:19 AM - donhuevo: I wrote it off to the glass deflecting on the right before the switch opened because of the weight of the x stepper
May 2, 2015 11:20 AM - tesseract: I believe the carraige is level and I use bowden with my dual setup so weight should not really be a factor
May 2, 2015 11:20 AM - donhuevo: I'm bowden too but the right side has the weight of the x stepper motor on it
May 2, 2015 11:20 AM - tesseract: but is there a way to adjust the parames of the bed compensation routines
May 2, 2015 11:21 AM - tesseract: true
May 2, 2015 11:21 AM - donhuevo: maybe. I was going to see if I could reposition my right switch to make it more 'sensitive'
May 2, 2015 11:21 AM - tesseract: -0.566666667 -0.623333333 -0.81 -1.283333333 -0.926666667 -0.79 -0.446666667 -0.766666667 -1.116666667
May 2, 2015 11:21 AM - donhuevo: during auto level, stops 3,6 & 9 all bend my glass a little
May 2, 2015 11:22 AM - tesseract: those are teh averages of the nine points
May 2, 2015 11:22 AM - donhuevo: and I don't imagine Mike would have that issue as he has a carriage-mounted bed probe now
May 2, 2015 11:23 AM - Mike Kelly: nope it's awesome
May 2, 2015 11:23 AM - donhuevo: you're awesome
May 2, 2015 11:23 AM - tesseract: the points with the most variance are front and back right side
May 2, 2015 11:23 AM - Mike Kelly: i know
May 2, 2015 11:23 AM - tesseract: hes modest too
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - tesseract: but just barely
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - donhuevo: I just decided that a carriage-mounted bed probe is my next project. Mike, where's the tutorial?
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - Mike Kelly:
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - tesseract: that is what I was looking for as well
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - Mike Kelly: i did one
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - tesseract: location???
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - Mike Kelly: uh i'd need to pull it from my thread list
May 2, 2015 11:24 AM - tesseract: and can it be used with the new x carriage plate setup
May 2, 2015 11:25 AM - Mike Kelly: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/mike-kellys-solenoid-auto-level-for-stock-r1.3864/
May 2, 2015 11:25 AM - donhuevo: if you were truly awesome, you'd have all these links memorized.
May 2, 2015 11:25 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that would be a lot to remember though
May 2, 2015 11:25 AM - tesseract: yep I kand agree with don on that one
May 2, 2015 11:26 AM - tesseract: truly awsome with idetic memory (not even sure if I spelled that right)
May 2, 2015 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: according to google it's eidetic
May 2, 2015 11:26 AM - donhuevo: my uncle man's a checkpoint every year at the iditarod
May 2, 2015 11:27 AM - donhuevo: he's an ecclectic man
May 2, 2015 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: i really like the new leaf spring approach
May 2, 2015 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: i have a whole bunch if someone wants me to mail them a couple
May 2, 2015 11:29 AM - donhuevo: I didn't see any leaf spring pictures in there, did I?
May 2, 2015 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: nope that hasn't been updated with that information
May 2, 2015 11:30 AM - tesseract: damn I missed alot explain the leaf spring approach
May 2, 2015 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/+MikeKelly04/posts/9iPDQKuHP9F
May 2, 2015 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a very simple switch
May 2, 2015 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: picture 5 shows the jig and 6 is a video showing it's response
May 2, 2015 11:33 AM - Mike Kelly: alright i'm gonna get ready to brew, i'll be in and out
May 2, 2015 11:34 AM - tesseract: looks really nice
May 2, 2015 11:34 AM - tesseract: remodle time I guess
May 2, 2015 11:35 AM - donhuevo: same here
May 2, 2015 11:35 AM - jbigler1986: Just make sure your bed is level and you should be fine
May 2, 2015 11:35 AM - jbigler1986: I had to shim mine on 3 corners. Used a dial indicator. No issues at all
May 2, 2015 11:36 AM - jbigler1986: Maybe it was just 2. I don't remember
May 2, 2015 12:23 PM - jbigler1986: Anyone printing anything
May 2, 2015 12:23 PM - jbigler1986: @don did you get the chess set complete
May 2, 2015 12:24 PM - donhuevo: still cleaning up the chess board pieces so they'll snap together. I'm picking at it here and there. I wanted to cover it in that clear acrylic stuff when it's done
May 2, 2015 12:32 PM - jbigler1986: That x3 whatever
May 2, 2015 12:40 PM - donhuevo: this is what I ended up getting... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018N9E3M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
May 2, 2015 12:50 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/hraB8ky one step closer

May 2, 2015 12:51 PM - toy: i know right.... its milled so flat that when i put the pillow blocks on it creates a vacuum seal

May 2, 2015 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: Interesting
May 2, 2015 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: $31. No thanks
May 2, 2015 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: Hatchbox has been one of the best I have tried out of 5 brands
May 2, 2015 1:22 PM - JeffTheMess: hatchbox is good really good
May 2, 2015 1:25 PM - jbigler1986: Next on the list is esun
May 2, 2015 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/aJzvZ9P 52 hours in
May 2, 2015 1:33 PM - JeffTheMess: wow
May 2, 2015 1:44 PM - jbigler1986: Should be done tomorrow morning
May 2, 2015 1:59 PM - daniel871: I'm cracking up over willis graham's status update in the profile posts.
May 2, 2015 2:25 PM - donhuevo: that's beautiful JB. Loving the total lack of z artifacts. Baby's bottom comes to mind.
May 2, 2015 2:28 PM - jbigler1986: I know. A lot of work into that. Very proud of my robo
May 2, 2015 2:29 PM - jbigler1986: Thanks for the compliment
May 2, 2015 2:43 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/40Z089P that is what the inside is looking like
May 2, 2015 3:34 PM - bamhm182: Looks great, jb. What resolution are you printing at? .1?
May 2, 2015 3:35 PM - jbigler1986: Nope. 2
May 2, 2015 3:35 PM - bamhm182: Still looks fantastic
May 2, 2015 3:35 PM - bamhm182: I don't even want to know how long it would take at .1
May 2, 2015 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: Ikr. 1 week. Let me slice it at .1 and see
May 2, 2015 3:39 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 2, 2015 3:39 PM - bamhm182: My bet is that it will say somewhere around 80 hours
May 2, 2015 3:39 PM - bamhm182: Based on nothing other than a random guess
May 2, 2015 3:41 PM - jbigler1986: My guess is 93
May 2, 2015 3:43 PM - jbigler1986: 113 hours and 54 minutes

 

May 2, 2015 3:43 PM - bamhm182: Jesus
May 2, 2015 3:44 PM - jbigler1986: 2,822,836 lines of gcode
May 2, 2015 3:44 PM - bamhm182: And the crazy thing is that those always underestimate
May 2, 2015 3:44 PM - bamhm182: Unless you're me and crank your Robo 3D up to 200%
May 2, 2015 3:44 PM - jbigler1986: This current one had like 1.4 million lines of gcode
May 2, 2015 3:45 PM - bamhm182: Wow, that's insane
May 2, 2015 3:45 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I don't mind printing slower. Plus my prints don't lie. So no reason to change anything
May 2, 2015 3:54 PM - bamhm182: Fair enough, I'm too impatient
May 2, 2015 4:05 PM - jbigler1986: I usually let prints go overnight or while at work
May 2, 2015 4:09 PM - bamhm182: My printer is in my bedroom, so I'm not too big of a fan of letting it go overnight
May 2, 2015 4:45 PM - bamhm182:
May 2, 2015 4:45 PM - bamhm182: Just about to start that print
May 2, 2015 4:49 PM - jbigler1986: Gonna need a lot of support
May 2, 2015 4:52 PM - bamhm182: Yeah
May 2, 2015 4:54 PM - bamhm182: Couldn't find a great orientation to print it at, but I figure with enough support it will be fine
May 2, 2015 5:14 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. That's what I said about this print. I said screw it and didn't care how much support
May 2, 2015 5:14 PM - Bill Monroe: back
May 2, 2015 5:27 PM - Mike Kelly: and a beer is fermenting
May 2, 2015 5:49 PM - jbigler1986: Nice
May 2, 2015 5:51 PM - jbigler1986: Send me one with the bowden adapter
May 2, 2015 5:51 PM - jbigler1986: Hi bill
May 2, 2015 5:53 PM - jbigler1986: About time to get some candy
May 2, 2015 6:02 PM - jbigler1986: How is the new robo going mike
May 2, 2015 6:29 PM - Bill Monroe: they update to google earth pics of my place up here... first time you can see my truck on the property
May 2, 2015 6:39 PM - bamhm182: Nice!
May 2, 2015 6:40 PM - bamhm182: Can't see my car out in front of where I live
May 2, 2015 6:44 PM - Bill Monroe: I've had this place for a decade and never been caught by the satellites OR the car..
May 2, 2015 6:46 PM - jbigler1986: Nice
May 2, 2015 6:47 PM - Bill Monroe: street car pic is three years old though....
May 2, 2015 6:48 PM - jbigler1986: Anybody watching the fight?
May 2, 2015 6:48 PM - jbigler1986: Definitely not me
May 2, 2015 6:48 PM - Bill Monroe: gawd no
May 2, 2015 6:50 PM - jbigler1986: Crap is fixed
May 2, 2015 6:54 PM - bamhm182: My money is on the guy with the fists
May 2, 2015 7:08 PM - Bill Monroe: my hiking buddy:
May 2, 2015 7:09 PM - Bill Monroe: back later.. time for a walk in the national park
May 2, 2015 7:09 PM - bamhm182: Sounds like fun
May 2, 2015 8:47 PM - Bill Monroe: got real windy

 

May 2, 2015 at 11:03 PM - bamhm182: Turns out my pegboard template works great for 5 wide, not so much for 6 wide. :/
May 2, 2015 at 11:04 PM - bamhm182: Should be able to fix it with my handy engineering recalibration tool though
May 2, 2015 at 11:37 PM - deeph: What happened with Simlify3D website? I can't open it.
May 2, 2015 at 11:40 PM - bamhm182: This is news to me
May 2, 2015 at 11:41 PM - bamhm182: It's probably nothing to worry about though
May 2, 2015 at 11:50 PM - bamhm182: Did you need the installer, or were you visiting it for something else?
May 3, 2015 at 12:06 AM - deeph: Want to update my S3D, my version is 2.2.2. Is there a newer version?
May 3, 2015 at 4:45 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
May 3, 2015 at 4:45 AM - jbigler1986: 67 hours later the part is finished
May 3, 2015 at 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: that's an expensive candy machine
May 3, 2015 at 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: dawn breaks in the desert.. quail are crowing, mountain sheep heading for shady places....
May 3, 2015 at 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: and my sprinklers are going full tilt!!!
May 3, 2015 at 6:26 AM - jbigler1986: Gotta add some space filler inside the drum. Gives out way to much candy
May 3, 2015 at 6:26 AM - jbigler1986: Should be an easy fix
May 3, 2015 at 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: go get em
May 3, 2015 at 6:33 AM - jbigler1986: Wanna do me a favor
May 3, 2015 at 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: if I am able
May 3, 2015 at 6:34 AM - jbigler1986: I need a printed nut and bolt.
May 3, 2015 at 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm away from all my stuff for a few days
May 3, 2015 at 6:35 AM - Bill Monroe: planned downtime with 2.0
May 3, 2015 at 6:35 AM - jbigler1986: Is there bolt tool in SW or does it need to be from scratch
May 3, 2015 at 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: the toolbox has them.. do you have it installed?
May 3, 2015 at 6:36 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure
May 3, 2015 at 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: ok, lets find out
May 3, 2015 at 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: got sw started?
May 3, 2015 at 6:37 AM - jbigler1986: Just a second
May 3, 2015 at 6:38 AM - jbigler1986: Ok
May 3, 2015 at 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: ok tools:addins
May 3, 2015 at 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: K
May 3, 2015 at 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: checkboxes for toolbox and toolbox explorer
May 3, 2015 at 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: the hit ok
May 3, 2015 at 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: then hit ok
May 3, 2015 at 6:40 AM - jbigler1986: Don't see em
May 3, 2015 at 6:41 AM - jbigler1986: Let me see if I can install them
May 3, 2015 at 6:41 AM - Bill Monroe: which version of solidqorks do you have?
May 3, 2015 at 6:42 AM - jbigler1986: 2015
May 3, 2015 at 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: no, I mean basic? professional?
May 3, 2015 at 6:42 AM - jbigler1986: I think pro. Let me see if I can install it
May 3, 2015 at 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. if you have pro, it's there..
May 3, 2015 at 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: alternatively, I can send you a part file
May 3, 2015 at 6:43 AM - jbigler1986: Premium edition
May 3, 2015 at 6:44 AM - Bill Monroe: um i dont know if toolbox is in the premium edition or not.. what size bolt do you need?
May 3, 2015 at 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: you can also download cad files from McMaster-Carr. but I've never tried printing one .. threads might be dicey
May 3, 2015 at 6:46 AM - jbigler1986: 9.5 mm outside diameter. 32mm long
May 3, 2015 at 6:47 AM - jbigler1986: Hex head is fine
May 3, 2015 at 6:48 AM - jbigler1986: Can be pretty course threads. Doesn't matter really
May 3, 2015 at 6:48 AM - Bill Monroe: stand by
May 3, 2015 at 6:48 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm not sure there is such an animal in standard sizes
May 3, 2015 at 6:50 AM - jbigler1986: Diameter can be a little smaller as long as the head is like 10mm so I don't have to use a washer
May 3, 2015 at 6:50 AM - Bill Monroe: waitl.. you want a 10mm wrench to fit it?
May 3, 2015 at 6:52 AM - jbigler1986: No. Not using a wrench. Just gonna be finger tight. It's for the vend machine
May 3, 2015 at 6:53 AM - Bill Monroe: ok so the hole it's going in is 9.5mm?
May 3, 2015 at 6:54 AM - jbigler1986: It's a little bigger than that. Just wanted some room to play
May 3, 2015 at 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: ok
May 3, 2015 at 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: hang on..
May 3, 2015 at 6:56 AM - jbigler1986: Looks like I need to download professional version today
May 3, 2015 at 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2vwuy5eqy6e1a5/93810A485.SLDPRT?dl=0
May 3, 2015 at 6:57 AM - Bill Monroe: that's a 8mm x 35mm closest thing in standart sizes that will fit
May 3, 2015 at 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: good luch though, even your machine will have difficulty printing a usable one I think
May 3, 2015 at 7:02 AM - jbigler1986: oh i will be the judge of that.
May 3, 2015 at 7:03 AM - Bill Monroe: i want to see a pic when you're done..
May 3, 2015 at 7:04 AM - jbigler1986: threads don't need to be fine
May 3, 2015 at 7:04 AM - jbigler1986: is there a nut with that?
May 3, 2015 at 7:04 AM - Bill Monroe: I gotta drive to stateline today.. pick up my winnings
May 3, 2015 at 7:04 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. he's trying to print it
May 3, 2015 at 7:04 AM - Bill Monroe: oh, you meant a hardware nut
May 3, 2015 at 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: we;ve now come to the "teach a man to fish" moment
May 3, 2015 at 7:05 AM - jbigler1986: that right. lol
May 3, 2015 at 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: ok.. go to www.mcmaster.com
May 3, 2015 at 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: haha
May 3, 2015 at 7:07 AM - Bill Monroe: serious.. do it
May 3, 2015 at 7:07 AM - Bill Monroe: you're going to learn to fish today
May 3, 2015 at 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: oh. i thought you telling me to buy one from there
May 3, 2015 at 7:07 AM - Bill Monroe: no no no but that's the best idea..
May 3, 2015 at 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: i'm there
May 3, 2015 at 7:08 AM - Bill Monroe: ok. in their search window.. enter; 90685A045
May 3, 2015 at 7:08 AM - jbigler1986: done
May 3, 2015 at 7:09 AM - Bill Monroe: ok. pick any M8 and click on the part number in blue
May 3, 2015 at 7:09 AM - jbigler1986: k
May 3, 2015 at 7:09 AM - jbigler1986: details?
May 3, 2015 at 7:09 AM - Bill Monroe: a little drop box opens.. in the upper left of the box there';s a little CAD symbol
May 3, 2015 at 7:11 AM - Bill Monroe: now you have a drawing... to the right of the drawing you see where you can save it as a cad file.. pick solidworks 3d and hit save
May 3, 2015 at 7:11 AM - Bill Monroe: now you know how to fish
May 3, 2015 at 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: nice
May 3, 2015 at 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: thanks.
May 3, 2015 at 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: save a lot of time that way
May 3, 2015 at 7:11 AM - Bill Monroe: and I fear I've unleashed a printing monster onto the McMaster website
May 3, 2015 at 7:13 AM - Bill Monroe: I have an account with McMaster, they have their largest distribution center 90 mins from me so, most of the time I get stuff overnight
May 3, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Bill Monroe: you have to see the place to believe it... they have everything.
May 3, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Bill Monroe: in stock
May 3, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Bill Monroe: in mass quantities
May 3, 2015 at 7:15 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm
May 3, 2015 at 7:15 AM - jbigler1986: about to start the print
May 3, 2015 at 7:15 AM - jbigler1986: 2 hours. blah
May 3, 2015 at 7:15 AM - Bill Monroe: try it anyway...
May 3, 2015 at 7:16 AM - Bill Monroe: or you could go to home depot and get a 5/16 bolt..
May 3, 2015 at 7:17 AM - jbigler1986: never. gonna try it
May 3, 2015 at 7:17 AM - Bill Monroe: look at the result in the slicer
May 3, 2015 at 7:17 AM - jbigler1986: honestly it looks like it will be ok
May 3, 2015 at 7:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i want to see a pic

 

May 3, 2015 at 7:18 AM - jbigler1986: sequential printing it too
May 3, 2015 at 7:18 AM - Bill Monroe: you printing it vertical?
May 3, 2015 at 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
May 3, 2015 at 7:20 AM - Bill Monroe: if that comes out usable.. I'll put those integrated Z motors in my machine
May 3, 2015 at 7:25 AM - jbigler1986: I will let you know
May 3, 2015 at 7:26 AM - Bill Monroe: pictures, or it didnt happen
May 3, 2015 at 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: Always
May 3, 2015 at 7:29 AM - Bill Monroe: i gotta get some homework done while 2.0 is at the spa
May 3, 2015 at 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: the nut is almost done. i will pop it off when it is
May 3, 2015 at 7:38 AM - Bill Monroe: k do you have an M8 tap?
May 3, 2015 at 7:44 AM - jbigler1986: no
May 3, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Bill Monroe: looks like I wont be putting new screws on my Z
May 3, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Bill Monroe: honestly, I hope it works for you
May 3, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: nut looks great
May 3, 2015 at 7:57 AM - Bill Monroe: threads too?
May 3, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Trying to take a picture
May 3, 2015 at 8:06 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/n7h5WTw
May 3, 2015 at 8:07 AM - jbigler1986: Best I could get at the moment
May 3, 2015 at 8:13 AM - Bill Monroe: that does look real nice... ok, I need details.. tip size, temps, speeds, materials, etc.. of just your fff
May 3, 2015 at 8:14 AM - Bill Monroe: or, just your fff and material type
May 3, 2015 at 8:14 AM - Bill Monroe: and, I'll break out the screws when I get back to my lab
May 3, 2015 at 8:14 AM - Bill Monroe: you're not bowden, right?
May 3, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: nope
May 3, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: give me a minut
May 3, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: Morning
May 3, 2015 at 8:57 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
May 3, 2015 at 8:58 AM - jbigler1986: Bill the threads on the bolt are looking awesome too
May 3, 2015 at 9:00 AM - Mike Kelly: To answer your question. The new ROBO is pretty good. I did notice a trace amount of z ribbing
May 3, 2015 at 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: Only way I could solve mine was the new rods
May 3, 2015 at 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: Well I didn't try to print solid couplers
May 3, 2015 at 9:20 AM - Mike Kelly: I have some ideas I want to try
May 3, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: Just hope I don't make things worse
May 3, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Bill Monroe: .fff
May 3, 2015 at 9:28 AM - jbigler1986: Let me get it Bill
May 3, 2015 at 9:31 AM - jbigler1986: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6rm34opi95bmlha/jbiglerrobo.fff?dl=0
May 3, 2015 at 9:31 AM - jbigler1986: Hatchbox PLA. Shaxon I just drop a few degrees on temp and it prints just as well
May 3, 2015 at 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/yYsiCtJ There you go bill
May 3, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: Gah I want that quality
May 3, 2015 at 9:38 AM - jbigler1986: I love my robo I must say
May 3, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: I bet
May 3, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: I hope I can convince robo to let me do a 'how to install linear stepper motors' video
May 3, 2015 at 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: That would be awesome
May 3, 2015 at 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: is 5/16th equavalent to 3mm
May 3, 2015 at 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: i mean 3m bolt
May 3, 2015 at 10:07 AM - jbigler1986: looks like m8. nevermind
May 3, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah 5/16" is like 7.95mm
May 3, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Mike Kelly: 3mm is close to 1/8"
May 3, 2015 at 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I failed on that. Lol
May 3, 2015 at 10:43 AM - jbigler1986: How long does your beer need to ferment
May 3, 2015 at 10:44 AM - bamhm182: Hey everyone, how's it going?
May 3, 2015 at 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: Good. You
May 3, 2015 at 10:45 AM - bamhm182: Nice bolt, jb, but I think the real reason we're all here is for the vending machine. Toss that bolt in and upload some pictures.
May 3, 2015 at 10:45 AM - bamhm182: Not too bad. Just woke up... At 2 PM
May 3, 2015 at 10:48 AM - Bill Monroe: awesome jb.. hatchbox?
May 3, 2015 at 10:48 AM - bamhm182: I'd assume so
May 3, 2015 at 10:49 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
May 3, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Bill Monroe: robo should fly you in
May 3, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Bill Monroe: you can print-shame them
May 3, 2015 at 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: Gotta print a new knob in grey because I don't like the looks of the white one on it
May 3, 2015 at 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: Hahaha
May 3, 2015 at 10:51 AM - jbigler1986: And you didn't think my robo could do it
May 3, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Bill Monroe: did they thread together?
May 3, 2015 at 10:52 AM - jbigler1986: Nope. Think I printed the wrong nut. Woops. Printing new ones of each now
May 3, 2015 at 10:52 AM - jbigler1986: Made sure they were right
May 3, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: the beer will sit in primary for a week, then dry hopped and seconday for a week
May 3, 2015 at 10:53 AM - jbigler1986: What are you calling it
May 3, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Mike Kelly: it's for a friends wedding so i'm calling it Bootuffel Colorado Common
May 3, 2015 at 10:54 AM - bamhm182: So it might be the newbie in me talking, but why not import the bolt, increase it a hair, then add a hexagon the right size, intersect them, then cut the hexagon
May 3, 2015 at 10:54 AM - bamhm182: Seems like that should give you a pretty accurately sized nut
May 3, 2015 at 11:03 AM - jbigler1986: It will be fine ones I print these. I printed the wrong one
May 3, 2015 at 11:08 AM - bamhm182: Gotcha
May 3, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: jb iirc you wanted a fan shroud for the v6 dual fan and then the greg's wade base w/ magnetic holder
May 3, 2015 at 11:09 AM - bamhm182: I originally took this pegboard design from thingiverse, but I've spent so much time tweaking it that it isn't anything like the original, haha
May 3, 2015 at 11:09 AM - jbigler1986:
May 3, 2015 at 11:10 AM - jbigler1986: MK that would be awesome if you have the time
May 3, 2015 at 11:12 AM - jbigler1986: See what I meant about the knob. It's needs a little contrast
May 3, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: Also going to print a bigger jar. I don't like how it's proportioned
May 3, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Kelly: nice candy machine
May 3, 2015 at 11:17 AM - bamhm182: Looks great, jb!
May 3, 2015 at 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: A few little fixes. Nothing that is going to take more than a few hours though
May 3, 2015 at 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: Only way I can do another 60
May 3, 2015 at 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: Hour print is if I'm gone.
May 3, 2015 at 11:25 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, haha
May 3, 2015 at 11:26 AM - bamhm182: That's an insane amount of time
May 3, 2015 at 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: Yes it is. Or just buy another robo. Lol
May 3, 2015 at 11:27 AM - bamhm182: That could work too
May 3, 2015 at 11:29 AM - jbigler1986: Just do the same upgrades and I would be good to go.
May 3, 2015 at 11:33 AM - jbigler1986: Build volume is just so big compared to other printers.
May 3, 2015 at 11:41 AM - bamhm182: Do you happen to have a list of the upgrades you've done? That's a list I'd like to get my hands on, haha
May 3, 2015 at 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: Dual parts fans, e3d v6, new linear steppers (only used the rods), new lead screw adapters, printed feet, full graphics controller
May 3, 2015 at 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: Make sure bed is level using dial indicator from front to back on the bed. Then paper level left and right side. Calibrated extruder
May 3, 2015 at 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: Make sure ramps fan is working. That a
May 3, 2015 at 11:50 AM - bamhm182: Well, I've got the feet and graphics controller
May 3, 2015 at 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: Is a big one for large parts
May 3, 2015 at 11:52 AM - jbigler1986: I would have solved my problems sooner if I wasn't arrogent and thinking I plugged in the ramps right. I didn't check it for a while thinking that it was working when it wasn't.
May 3, 2015 at 11:52 AM - bamhm182: I'm tossing in a new parts fan as we speak. I dropped a screwdriver in the old one and broke off a blade. I got a 40mm that looks REALLY nice and is supposed to be silent. If I like it, I might buy 2 more, one for the RAMPS and one for a second parts fan
May 3, 2015 at 11:53 AM - bamhm182: I think the loudest fan by far though is the heatsink fan
May 3, 2015 at 11:53 AM - jbigler1986: 2nd parts fan really helps with PLA. Which is all I use
May 3, 2015 at 11:54 AM - jbigler1986: Gotta thank MK and others to my quality of prints too. If it wasn't for them I would not have solved it this fast
May 3, 2015 at 11:55 AM - jbigler1986: Oh and new sleeved cable for my wires. The stock one sucks

 

May 3, 2015 at 11:58 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, I agree. I just bought some new sleeving too
May 3, 2015 at 12:09 PM - bamhm182: Fixed the spacing on my pegboard template. I don't think it will be QUITE as snug as it was before, but it should still work. Printing out another "sign" to see
May 3, 2015 at 12:38 PM - bamhm182:
May 3, 2015 at 12:38 PM - bamhm182: Got it to fit snug and completely on the board with a bit of dremmel work
May 3, 2015 at 12:39 PM - bamhm182: Now to figure out my next problem. It's a bit harder than I thought it would be to get a good angle on the screw. I think I'm going to whip up a 90 degree screwdriver handle that I can toss my current screwdriver bits into.
May 3, 2015 at 12:41 PM - donhuevo: 1/4 inch socket ratchet?
May 3, 2015 at 12:42 PM - bamhm182: I feel like a ratchet would also be too fat to fit in there
May 3, 2015 at 12:43 PM - bamhm182: I'm thinking more of an allen wrench type design
May 3, 2015 at 12:43 PM - donhuevo: ah! gotcha
May 3, 2015 at 12:44 PM - donhuevo: Is it too late to suggest hobs out and wires in?
May 3, 2015 at 12:46 PM - donhuevo: if you want to call me a dick, it's ok
May 3, 2015 at 12:46 PM - bamhm182: That would have been a better design, but since I've already got this one printed, I think I'm going to stick with it for a minute
May 3, 2015 at 12:46 PM - bamhm182: That would also allow me give them a better look with the sleeving
May 3, 2015 at 12:47 PM - donhuevo: sleeving?
May 3, 2015 at 12:47 PM - bamhm182: I want to sleeve it
May 3, 2015 at 12:47 PM - donhuevo: my attendance has been poor recently.
May 3, 2015 at 12:48 PM - bamhm182: It's not a problem. I think I said it like once, so I'd be surprised if anyone caught it
May 3, 2015 at 12:48 PM - donhuevo: That's a plain old NEMA 17 with no gear reduction?
May 3, 2015 at 12:48 PM - bamhm182: Right
May 3, 2015 at 12:49 PM - bamhm182: I didn't know any better when I bought it. I just went "Nema 17? Hey, that's a Nema 17!"
May 3, 2015 at 12:49 PM - donhuevo: You're probably going to have torque issues and even with a NEMA w/ a 5:1 planetary gear, I found I had to put a fan on my motor
May 3, 2015 at 12:49 PM - bamhm182: It was getting that hot?
May 3, 2015 at 12:49 PM - donhuevo: Mine was yes, but I'm pushing my print speeds
May 3, 2015 at 12:50 PM - donhuevo: so I'm trying to squirt plastic out like a fire hose
May 3, 2015 at 12:51 PM - donhuevo: When I have Cura on 'Fast', my infill gets up to 150
May 3, 2015 at 12:52 PM - bamhm182: 150mm/s?
May 3, 2015 at 12:52 PM - donhuevo: yup
May 3, 2015 at 12:52 PM - bamhm182: Damn
May 3, 2015 at 12:53 PM - bamhm182: Mine's set to Simplify 3D's 60mm/s, if I'm feeling impatient, I'll crank it up to 90mm/s and RARELY 120mm/s
May 3, 2015 at 12:53 PM - donhuevo: Your x carriage only has a fraction of the inertia it did with that stepper riding around on it
May 3, 2015 at 12:54 PM - bamhm182: Those speeds are with the stepper. I like to live dangerously. haha
May 3, 2015 at 12:55 PM - donhuevo: As soon as you're officially bowden, you'll be able to go faster and it'll still print clean but you'll run into those other issues I mentioned
May 3, 2015 at 1:06 PM - bamhm182: It's alright, I've grown tired of not having any issues.
May 3, 2015 at 1:07 PM - jbigler1986: That's rare though
May 3, 2015 at 1:08 PM - donhuevo: this is going to be one of those, 'I can't print' issues though.
May 3, 2015 at 1:09 PM - jbigler1986: That's true. Bowden for me was a disaster. Although I didn't put much time and effort into it
May 3, 2015 at 1:09 PM - jbigler1986: I will just play the waiting game for prints. No biggie
May 3, 2015 at 1:09 PM - donhuevo: it took me a while to dial it in and also figure out why it would stop extruding mid print
May 3, 2015 at 1:10 PM - donhuevo: but yeah... I'm about to break my printer again with Mike's z probe setup
May 3, 2015 at 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: That probe is nice
May 3, 2015 at 1:11 PM - bamhm182: Yeah it is
May 3, 2015 at 1:11 PM - bamhm182: So it would stop extruding mid-print because the motor would overheat?
May 3, 2015 at 1:12 PM - donhuevo: or there wasn't enough torque to push enough filament and then jam and then chew filament.
May 3, 2015 at 1:12 PM - bamhm182: Good to know
May 3, 2015 at 1:13 PM - donhuevo: for the moment, you may want to work out a cold end that uses the Gregs Wade gears
May 3, 2015 at 1:14 PM - jbigler1986: I tried it with greg's Wade. I think most of my issue was the printed bowden adapter
May 3, 2015 at 1:14 PM - donhuevo: what's that look like?
May 3, 2015 at 1:14 PM - bamhm182:
May 3, 2015 at 1:15 PM - bamhm182: What do you think about my distance?
May 3, 2015 at 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: Let me find a pic of how I had it setup
May 3, 2015 at 1:16 PM - bamhm182: Most the things I've read suggest keeping the length of the tube as short as possible, and all of the pictures I've seen have had the steppers mounted to the printer
May 3, 2015 at 1:16 PM - donhuevo: the shorter the tube, the more it has to bend going near, far, up and down. It needs a gentle curve more than a shorter length
May 3, 2015 at 1:17 PM - bamhm182: Alright
May 3, 2015 at 1:17 PM - donhuevo: At one point I thought it would be a good idea to tie my tube to my carriage wiring harness to neaten things up. Didn't realize that was why I was jamming in one of the corners of the bed
May 3, 2015 at 1:18 PM - bamhm182: And how rigid should the tubing be? I bought some from McMaster-Carr, but then when I got it and my Cyclops, I noticed that the tubing that came with the Cyclops was a LOT more rigid
May 3, 2015 at 1:19 PM - jbigler1986:
May 3, 2015 at 1:19 PM - donhuevo: As long as it's PTFE, I don't think it matters
May 3, 2015 at 1:19 PM - bamhm182: Alright
May 3, 2015 at 1:19 PM - donhuevo: As close as your cold end is to the top of the lid, I might consider putting a loop in the tube before it passes thru the lid slit
May 3, 2015 at 1:20 PM - jbigler1986:
May 3, 2015 at 1:20 PM - bamhm182: Just to make sure it doesn't snag?
May 3, 2015 at 1:21 PM - donhuevo: what the hell jb
May 3, 2015 at 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: ?
May 3, 2015 at 1:23 PM - donhuevo: your pics aren't showing up. At least not for me
May 3, 2015 at 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: The last one didn't either?
May 3, 2015 at 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: http://i.imgur.com/onhAzI8.jpg
May 3, 2015 at 1:25 PM - donhuevo: how was that misbehaving?
May 3, 2015 at 1:27 PM - donhuevo: bam, you need to make sure the tube doesn't bend too much at the connections on the ends.
May 3, 2015 at 1:27 PM - jbigler1986: It kept binding. Pretty sure it was the printed adapter. Kept jamming. The hole from the extruder to the plate /adapter didn't line up perfectly
May 3, 2015 at 1:27 PM - donhuevo: couldn't drill it out some?
May 3, 2015 at 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Probably. I was being to lazy and the knurled bolt to hold the ptfe tube in place was screwed up.
May 3, 2015 at 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: I spent about 2 days on it. Just wanted to start printing again so I just went back to normal
May 3, 2015 at 1:30 PM - donhuevo: been there. sucks the most when you can't print and need to print a part to be able to print again
May 3, 2015 at 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: That's how I was
May 3, 2015 at 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: Didn't know I needed to print a adapter to hold the hotend onto the carriage until I had it all setup. Had to zip tie the hotend in place
May 3, 2015 at 1:33 PM - donhuevo: I thought about publishing my cold end but there's more than a couple weird parts in it.
May 3, 2015 at 1:35 PM - jbigler1986: I only plan on going bowden if I'm doing dual which I doubt
May 3, 2015 at 1:39 PM - donhuevo: understandable. In the end, it was definitely worth the heartache to me
May 3, 2015 at 1:40 PM - donhuevo: but I went a little beyond just switching to bowden
May 3, 2015 at 1:45 PM - bamhm182: New pegboard layout works great without the need to dremmel.
May 3, 2015 at 1:45 PM - donhuevo: cool!
May 3, 2015 at 1:54 PM - bamhm182: Now I just need to print out a couple spool holders
May 3, 2015 at 2:28 PM - donhuevo: http://i.imgur.com/nCFFU4K.jpg?1
May 3, 2015 at 2:28 PM - donhuevo: http://i.imgur.com/nV2TKZ3.jpg
May 3, 2015 at 2:33 PM - bamhm182: That looks fantastic, Don
May 3, 2015 at 2:33 PM - bamhm182: I really like that shade of green, against the black
May 3, 2015 at 2:34 PM - bamhm182: What resolution did you print the pieces at? How much post did you do on them?
May 3, 2015 at 2:40 PM - donhuevo: no post on the pieces. and I can't remember if I did .2 or .1. Probably .1
May 3, 2015 at 2:41 PM - jbigler1986: What green is that
May 3, 2015 at 2:42 PM - donhuevo: MatterHackers Lime Green ABfnS
May 3, 2015 at 2:43 PM - donhuevo: there was a ton of post on the board to get it to fit together.
May 3, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Droid: is there a thread on here that has step by step directions on changing extruder steps/mm andz offset in the firmware?
May 3, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Droid: right not I have the z offset in mattercontroller set at .84 and i had to change Esteps/mm because I was underextruding
May 3, 2015 at 3:01 PM - bamhm182: I don't think I've seen anything like that, but at the same time, I haven't seen every single post
May 3, 2015 at 3:02 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah there is a video on the esteps. I will find it in a minute unless someone beats me to it. The offset you just change in whatever slicer you use
May 3, 2015 at 3:03 PM - bamhm182: http://www.instructables.com/id/Calibrating-your-3D-printer-using-minimal-filament/
May 3, 2015 at 3:03 PM - bamhm182: Not the video jb is talking about, but that should give you a good starting point
May 3, 2015 at 3:06 PM - bamhm182: ??
May 3, 2015 at 3:06 PM - Droid: i alreadys figured out the amount i need to change my Esteps/mm i just want to know where in arduino I need to change the value so I dont have to keep changing the value every print with lcd controller
May 3, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Droid: would it be this line of code? just wanna make sure i dont F!!! anything up

 

May 3, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Droid: #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,723.38} // default steps per unit for RoBo 3D R1
May 3, 2015 at 3:08 PM - donhuevo: that's the one. change the last number
May 3, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Droid: and change the 723.38 value
May 3, 2015 at 3:09 PM - donhuevo: yep
May 3, 2015 at 3:09 PM - Droid: on and as for the Z offset i just have to do that in the slicer
May 3, 2015 at 3:09 PM - donhuevo: yep again.
May 3, 2015 at 3:09 PM - Droid: ok thx
May 3, 2015 at 3:10 PM - donhuevo: welcome.
May 3, 2015 at 3:16 PM - bamhm182: So I'm assuming you guys have replaced the stock bit that holds the cable running to the hotend out of the way, right?
May 3, 2015 at 3:16 PM - bamhm182: I need a better solution than what I am currently using
May 3, 2015 at 3:17 PM - donhuevo: the wiretie on the underside of the lid?
May 3, 2015 at 3:17 PM - bamhm182: Yeah
May 3, 2015 at 3:17 PM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:423354
May 3, 2015 at 3:17 PM - bamhm182: I'm currently using that
May 3, 2015 at 3:18 PM - bamhm182: It slides around too much and gets in the way
May 3, 2015 at 3:18 PM - donhuevo: neat.
May 3, 2015 at 3:20 PM - bamhm182: What do you guys use?
May 3, 2015 at 3:21 PM - jbigler1986: Can I scale up a nut to make it fit. It's to tight on the bolt and needs scaled bigger a little. Next size up will be to big
May 3, 2015 at 3:21 PM - donhuevo: I don't use my lid anymore
May 3, 2015 at 3:22 PM - bamhm182: Fair enough
May 3, 2015 at 3:23 PM - jbigler1986: It's a M8 nut and bolt. The nut is just to tight and it snaps the bolt when I get it about halfway through the nut
May 3, 2015 at 3:24 PM - jbigler1986: I just used a zip tie and expandable cable
May 3, 2015 at 3:27 PM - jbigler1986: Would just scaling it up by like .1 do the trick?
May 3, 2015 at 3:29 PM - bamhm182: You can try
May 3, 2015 at 3:30 PM - bamhm182: I would assume it could work, but I've never tried it
May 3, 2015 at 3:30 PM - Bill Monroe: scaling might help
May 3, 2015 at 3:30 PM - Bill Monroe: it also increases the pitch slightly though
May 3, 2015 at 3:31 PM - Bill Monroe: just scale the nut
May 3, 2015 at 3:31 PM - donhuevo: or re-tap the nut
May 3, 2015 at 3:31 PM - Bill Monroe: he has no tap
May 3, 2015 at 3:31 PM - Bill Monroe: i mean, even harbor freight has tap
May 3, 2015 at 3:32 PM - Bill Monroe: i think
May 3, 2015 at 3:32 PM - donhuevo: they do. We just got a Harbor Freight too. Not that that would do JB any good
May 3, 2015 at 3:33 PM - Bill Monroe: wait jb, I do think this means I dont have to put the screws in my machine now...
May 3, 2015 at 3:34 PM - jbigler1986: Well the bolt wasn't at 100 percent infill so.
May 3, 2015 at 3:34 PM - jbigler1986: I will do it at 100 next
May 3, 2015 at 3:34 PM - donhuevo: Is this stuff you drew or picked up on thingiverse?
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: Mcmaster
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - Bill Monroe: hand salute!
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - Bill Monroe: ready... two
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: Or whatever it's called
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: High five
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - Bill Monroe: McMaster-Carr
May 3, 2015 at 3:36 PM - Bill Monroe: any mention of McMaster-Carr deserves a salute
May 3, 2015 at 3:37 PM - Bill Monroe: along with Taco Bell and any nudie bar
May 3, 2015 at 3:37 PM - donhuevo: I wouldn't agree with ANY nudie bar
May 3, 2015 at 3:37 PM - Bill Monroe: any is better than none.. although i was in one in ohio once that still gives me nightmares
May 3, 2015 at 3:38 PM - donhuevo: that's what I'm sayin'
May 3, 2015 at 3:38 PM - Bill Monroe: 300 pounders there
May 3, 2015 at 3:38 PM - Bill Monroe: i thought it was a joke
May 3, 2015 at 3:39 PM - Bill Monroe: OK.. change any to most
May 3, 2015 at 3:39 PM - donhuevo: better.
May 3, 2015 at 3:39 PM - Bill Monroe: south texas... woohoo.....
May 3, 2015 at 3:39 PM - jbigler1986: Infrared grill for the win
May 3, 2015 at 3:40 PM - Bill Monroe: between houston and galveston..
May 3, 2015 at 3:42 PM - donhuevo: I spent 5 years between Dallas & Ft Worth
May 3, 2015 at 3:43 PM - Bill Monroe: Flower Mound?
May 3, 2015 at 3:43 PM - donhuevo: Que?
May 3, 2015 at 3:43 PM - Bill Monroe: Roanoke?
May 3, 2015 at 3:43 PM - donhuevo: Irving
May 3, 2015 at 3:43 PM - Bill Monroe: town between dallas & ft worth
May 3, 2015 at 3:45 PM - Bill Monroe: the plane in my avatar i bought at the Northwest Regional Airport
May 3, 2015 at 3:46 PM - donhuevo: cool!
May 3, 2015 at 3:46 PM - Bill Monroe: same airport where the student pilot slammed into the car on landing
May 3, 2015 at 3:46 PM - donhuevo: any interest in a MIG?
May 3, 2015 at 3:47 PM - Bill Monroe: you got one?
May 3, 2015 at 3:47 PM - donhuevo: I do not but found one for 70k
May 3, 2015 at 3:47 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. they're available cheap if they have the original engine
May 3, 2015 at 3:48 PM - Bill Monroe: slip a Pratt in there and they go up 10 fold
May 3, 2015 at 3:48 PM - Bill Monroe: which mig? 15? 17?
May 3, 2015 at 3:49 PM - donhuevo: it was a 21. Most likely sold. it's off the site now
May 3, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Bill Monroe: bah.. 21 be junk
May 3, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Bill Monroe: 17 is the most live-with one..
May 3, 2015 at 3:49 PM - donhuevo: I'll keep my eyes open
May 3, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Bill Monroe: you need a 9000 ft runway with a 21
May 3, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Bill Monroe: if you're at sea level
May 3, 2015 at 3:50 PM - donhuevo: but supersonic-capable, yes?
May 3, 2015 at 3:50 PM - Bill Monroe: not if you're smart
May 3, 2015 at 3:51 PM - donhuevo: I couldn't find the smart line when they were handing out smarts
May 3, 2015 at 3:53 PM - Bill Monroe: they used a magnesium counter balance on the flying tail. you learn you have dissimilar metal corrosion issues then the tail flutters, then departs
May 3, 2015 at 3:54 PM - donhuevo: perfect time to try the ejection seat. Also on my bucket list with going supersonic
May 3, 2015 at 3:55 PM - Bill Monroe: well, ya gotta leave the coutry then.. both are illegal here
May 3, 2015 at 3:56 PM - donhuevo: gotcha
May 3, 2015 at 3:56 PM - Bill Monroe: the simulators are a hoot though... they should be at county fairs
May 3, 2015 at 3:59 PM - bamhm182: Think I made a solution
May 3, 2015 at 3:59 PM - bamhm182:
May 3, 2015 at 4:00 PM - bamhm182: Basically the same design, a little simpler, but this one forms to the Robo's case shape and lets you torque it down, so it shouldn
May 3, 2015 at 4:00 PM - bamhm182: *shouldn
May 3, 2015 at 4:00 PM - bamhm182: god! I can't type
May 3, 2015 at 4:00 PM - bamhm182: *shouldn't move around like my current oen
May 3, 2015 at 4:00 PM - bamhm182: You know what I mean, I'm done typing. Haha
May 3, 2015 at 4:03 PM - donhuevo: found you a MIG15 Bill for 60K http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MIKOYAN-MIG-15/MIKOYAN-MIG-15/1361609.htm
May 3, 2015 at 4:04 PM - donhuevo: I like it bam. How quick and easy will it be to remove your lid?
May 3, 2015 at 4:05 PM - Bill Monroe: they've been trying to sell that wreck for 10 years
May 3, 2015 at 4:06 PM - donhuevo: damnit. I'll keep looking
May 3, 2015 at 4:06 PM - donhuevo: MIG23?
May 3, 2015 at 4:06 PM - Bill Monroe: 15
May 3, 2015 at 4:07 PM - Bill Monroe: oh dont know much about the 23 other than it takes a gold card to start the engine
May 3, 2015 at 4:07 PM - bamhm182: Super easy
May 3, 2015 at 4:07 PM - donhuevo: http://www.controller.com/listingsd...AN-MIG-23ML/1981-MIKOYAN-MIG-23ML/1354915.htm

 

May 3, 2015 at 4:07 PM - Bill Monroe: find me an a-4 with new avionics
May 3, 2015 at 4:07 PM - bamhm182: That peg in the bottom should just pop in and pop out, but provide enough resistance that it doesn't do it on its own
May 3, 2015 at 4:08 PM - donhuevo: don't know how I feel about that bam
May 3, 2015 at 4:08 PM - bamhm182: Why not?
May 3, 2015 at 4:09 PM - donhuevo: gimme some A-4 manufacturers
May 3, 2015 at 4:09 PM - bamhm182: It's the same setup that the one I linked on thingiverse uses
May 3, 2015 at 4:09 PM - donhuevo: that bothered me too. That it could work itself loose
May 3, 2015 at 4:09 PM - donhuevo: I liked it till I saw they didn't screw the two together
May 3, 2015 at 4:09 PM - bamhm182: I printed that out shortly after I got my Robo and it hasn't been an issue
May 3, 2015 at 4:10 PM - bamhm182: I was going to throw a bolt in there instead of a peg, but I don't have the right size bolt
May 3, 2015 at 4:10 PM - donhuevo: have jb print you one
May 3, 2015 at 4:10 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 3, 2015 at 4:11 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, I guess I could just make the peg slide through one side and twist into the other
May 3, 2015 at 4:11 PM - Droid: so... im getting a error: temp fail when i try printing abs, it gets up to temp, does auto leveling starts skirt, then gives error
May 3, 2015 at 4:12 PM - bamhm182: How hot are you printing it?
May 3, 2015 at 4:12 PM - Droid: hot end temp 230
May 3, 2015 at 4:12 PM - bamhm182: Hmn
May 3, 2015 at 4:13 PM - Droid: E3dV^ with studded thermistor
May 3, 2015 at 4:13 PM - bamhm182: I haven't had that issue, so I'm probably not of much help...
May 3, 2015 at 4:13 PM - donhuevo: did you raise your max temp in firmware?
May 3, 2015 at 4:14 PM - Droid: this line? #define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 300 //robo
May 3, 2015 at 4:14 PM - donhuevo: ah. they raised it for you with the hex.
May 3, 2015 at 4:14 PM - Droid: no I changed that value already
May 3, 2015 at 4:15 PM - Droid: left other two values the same, which from what I gather is correct
May 3, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Droid: #define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 300 //robo
May 3, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Droid: heater 1 & 2 are 275
May 3, 2015 at 4:17 PM - donhuevo: one of those has to be wrong because one of them is the bed
May 3, 2015 at 4:18 PM - donhuevo: sorry. I'm wrong again
May 3, 2015 at 4:19 PM - donhuevo: #define BED_MAXTEMP 115
May 3, 2015 at 4:21 PM - donhuevo: only found 1 A-4 and they want 3 million for it
May 3, 2015 at 4:27 PM - donhuevo: here you go Bill... one A-4 with modern avionics... http://www.planecheck.com/index.asp?ent=da&id=19202&cor=y
May 3, 2015 at 4:27 PM - Droid: exact error is ERROR: TEMP FAIL ERROR
May 3, 2015 at 4:28 PM - Droid: it gets to temp, starts printing and then temp starts dropping and throws error code
May 3, 2015 at 4:28 PM - donhuevo: loose wire or something on the thermistor?
May 3, 2015 at 4:28 PM - bamhm182:
May 3, 2015 at 4:29 PM - bamhm182: Got my spool holders printed out
May 3, 2015 at 4:29 PM - donhuevo: looks like an old reel to reel tape deck. I like it!
May 3, 2015 at 4:30 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 3, 2015 at 4:31 PM - bamhm182: It also looks like a face if you pretend the spools are eyes and the cold end mount is a mouth
May 3, 2015 at 4:35 PM - jbigler1986: I hope that peg board is in the wall good. Lol
May 3, 2015 at 4:36 PM - bamhm182: It seems sturdy enough
May 3, 2015 at 4:37 PM - bamhm182: It's got 5 1" screws in it, so the weight is distributed well enough, IMO
May 3, 2015 at 4:38 PM - donhuevo: 5 screws just into the drywall?
May 3, 2015 at 4:38 PM - donhuevo: are you mad?
May 3, 2015 at 4:38 PM - bamhm182: No good?
May 3, 2015 at 4:39 PM - donhuevo: at the very least, get some of those 1/4inch plastic anchors to screw into
May 3, 2015 at 4:39 PM - bamhm182: Or better yet, I wonder if they have those on Thingiverse
May 3, 2015 at 4:40 PM - donhuevo: these are by far the best drywall anchors there are... http://www.amazon.com/Red-Head-EZPP...696412&sr=8-9&keywords=plastic+drywall+anchor
May 3, 2015 at 4:40 PM - donhuevo: unfortunately, you'd need to print them w/ support
May 3, 2015 at 4:42 PM - bamhm182: I'll make a trip down to home depot tomorrow
May 3, 2015 at 4:44 PM - donhuevo: they have those anchors. they drill themselves into the drywall
May 3, 2015 at 4:44 PM - donhuevo: and... AND you already have all your holes marked
May 3, 2015 at 4:45 PM - bamhm182: That I do, haha
May 3, 2015 at 4:46 PM - bamhm182: Main reason I didn't put those in before was because I'm leaving this place in a month and didn't want to make the holes any bigger than I had to
May 3, 2015 at 4:50 PM - donhuevo: if it's only gonna be hanging a month, it'll probably hold but still, it's sacreligious
May 3, 2015 at 4:50 PM - bamhm182: Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgiiiiiive meeeee
May 3, 2015 at 4:50 PM - bamhm182: I'm going to the store, I'll be back in a bit
May 3, 2015 at 4:50 PM - donhuevo: aight then
May 3, 2015 at 4:55 PM - Mike Kelly: jb lemme know if this works https://www.dropbox.com/s/9o41leindxzql8n/Fan Shroud Dual v6.STL?dl=0
May 3, 2015 at 5:27 PM - bamhm182: Printed out my cable hanger.
May 3, 2015 at 5:28 PM - bamhm182: It takes a good deal of effort to pop that pin out of place, so I don't think it's going anywhere, but we'll find out
May 3, 2015 at 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: I will print that after this knob
May 3, 2015 at 5:31 PM - Droid: not a temp fail error its a temp fall error im having
May 3, 2015 at 5:34 PM - jbigler1986: Fans cooling the heatblock/nozzle to much?
May 3, 2015 at 5:38 PM - Droid: ill check that, with it just sitting there it will hold temp just fine, as soon as i start a print though it goes through the leveling and starts printing as soon as it starts laying the skirt down the temp starts dropping and then it stops and gives me the temp fall error
May 3, 2015 at 5:40 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have the fans on or off when the print starts
May 3, 2015 at 5:44 PM - Droid: extruder fan is on i think the parts fan is also on( need to turn off)
May 3, 2015 at 5:45 PM - Droid: gonna try it again
May 3, 2015 at 5:49 PM - jbigler1986: Turn off parts fan and see what happens
May 3, 2015 at 6:02 PM - Droid: parts fan was on, kicked in as soon as print started, shut it off and temp stabilized and so far so good
May 3, 2015 at 6:13 PM - bamhm182: Still going good?
May 3, 2015 at 6:13 PM - jbigler1986: You need it on for PLA though. Do you have dual fans or single that came with the robo?
May 3, 2015 at 6:22 PM - Droid: just the single fan with a duct on it
May 3, 2015 at 6:22 PM - Droid: print is still going good
May 3, 2015 at 6:24 PM - bamhm182: Well, it looks like we know what the problem is then. I wouldn't have thought the parts fan would cool off the hotend enough to cause issues
May 3, 2015 at 6:25 PM - Droid: side note. with abs, ive used blue tape with glue stick and had the print pulling up the tape, before i go to the abs slury i thought I'd try Kapton tape with a glue stick.
May 3, 2015 at 6:26 PM - Droid: I may have to make a new duct I think the one I have is blowing to close to the hotend
May 3, 2015 at 6:48 PM - daniel871: Okay, so I've got this weird situation with slicer software. MatterControl that came with the Robo seems to be the only one to successfully print.
May 3, 2015 at 6:48 PM - daniel871: I hate how it slices the STL files, though.
May 3, 2015 at 6:50 PM - daniel871: Same exact speeds and temps in three different softwares, but for some reason the same job will lose hold of the table in Cura and Simplify 3D both. It's like there's a hesitation somewhere on the 1st layer in MatterControl to let the material stick that isn't in the other two.
May 3, 2015 at 6:50 PM - daniel871: (somewhere during the skirting runs before the actual part is started)
May 3, 2015 at 6:51 PM - daniel871: Also Matter control goes straight from the skirts to the part while the other two retract on Z and retract the filament before starting the part, which may be the problem (retraction may be going too far).
May 3, 2015 at 7:18 PM - Mike Kelly: jb do you intend to swap between the hexagon and v6 or will it just be for removing the v6 easy

 

May 4, 2015 2:39 AM - jbigler1986: It will be jus for v6. I have 2 of them but it will be to fix jams and stuff
May 4, 2015 4:56 AM - jbigler1986: morning
May 4, 2015 4:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: morning

May 4, 2015 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe: allowed two to stay L(
May 4, 2015 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe:
May 4, 2015 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: naw.. i just pick them up and carry them over to the rock hill
May 4, 2015 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: except for the boas, they're cool
May 4, 2015 5:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: so they are either non-poisonous or your nuts
May 4, 2015 5:15 AM - Bill Monroe: heh two were rattlers.. 1 gopher and 3 coachwhips
May 4, 2015 5:16 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 hates the coachwhips cuz they eat the bird eggs... we have nests all over the place right now
May 4, 2015 5:16 AM - jbigler1986: make boots out of them
May 4, 2015 5:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i get snakes all the time certain times of the year.. this is the first time that so many showed up.. i think it's because of the sprinklers
May 4, 2015 5:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: i thought you aren't allowed to have sprinklers anymore?
May 4, 2015 5:19 AM - jbigler1986: he is a rebel
May 4, 2015 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: <-- tapped the aquifer
May 4, 2015 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: naw, I just had the well made deeper..
May 4, 2015 5:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: you need to conserve water so the middle of your state can grow me some cauliflower to eat
May 4, 2015 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: oh ya, and everyone knows how important cauliflower is
May 4, 2015 5:21 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 grows lavender bushes for the flower seeds, she grinds them for the oil so she can use it in her soap
May 4, 2015 5:22 AM - Bill Monroe: and me, I'm the underpaid labor that makes it happen
May 4, 2015 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: so, deeper well, gold course rainbirds, etc.,
May 4, 2015 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: and apparently an attractive oasis for indiginant reptiles
May 4, 2015 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe: jb, did growing the nut work?
May 4, 2015 5:28 AM - jbigler1986: i printed the bolt at 100 percent. that made it strong enough thread all the way
May 4, 2015 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
May 4, 2015 5:28 AM - jbigler1986: it was the first threading that was a pain. after that it was good
May 4, 2015 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: the how its made episode starting right now will have a 3D printer segment
May 4, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: probably stupid makerbot
May 4, 2015 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: the preview showed some open-frame unit
May 4, 2015 5:38 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning roboneers

May 4, 2015 5:48 AM - JeffTheMess: they call...*
May 4, 2015 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: well, you might be surprised to know there are some folks who want to print parts, and not spend their lives trying to make the one they got work
May 4, 2015 5:56 AM - JeffTheMess: anybody got any cool ideas to print for mothers day?
May 4, 2015 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: well 2 months of fooling around isn't to bad
May 4, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: not at all
May 4, 2015 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: Jeff, I do not. Maybe a bouquet of roses

May 4, 2015 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: dissapated?
May 4, 2015 6:44 AM - jbigler1986: yeah not sure how to spell it myself
May 4, 2015 6:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: no one likes lightning as much as this guy
May 4, 2015 6:46 AM - Stephen Capistron:
May 4, 2015 6:48 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, he should seek a mental health professional
May 4, 2015 6:59 AM - daniel871: dissipated
May 4, 2015 7:00 AM - daniel871: Attempting a wine glass with Cura. 6 hours and 45 minutes to print, sheesh.

May 4, 2015 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm. not sure if ace had them that long.
May 4, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: though i guess you were intending on using magnets
May 4, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: just wanting a quick way to remove it. doesn't have to be magnets
May 4, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: jusy figured that would be easiest
May 4, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: ok just trying to decide how to capture the nuts
May 4, 2015 7:53 AM - jbigler1986: i crashed before printing the shroud. i will tonigh
May 4, 2015 7:53 AM - jbigler1986: did you print that torque wrench?
May 4, 2015 7:57 AM - Mike Kelly: nope i tried to print it on the 2x on friday but the filament ground down, i think it was too low
May 4, 2015 7:58 AM - jbigler1986: damn makerbot
May 4, 2015 7:59 AM - Mike Kelly: i might try again
May 4, 2015 8:02 AM - jbigler1986: kick it. that will fix it
May 4, 2015 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: dangle money over it and i bet it works
May 4, 2015 8:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: It has a coin slot just like your vending machine
May 4, 2015 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: that's for sd cards silly
May 4, 2015 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: robo prsent has arrived

May 4, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: heh i know that feeling
May 4, 2015 8:36 AM - jbigler1986: they sent me a whole nex hex minus the wiring
May 4, 2015 8:38 AM - Mike Kelly: slick
May 4, 2015 8:39 AM - jbigler1986: so a new bed with all wires, polo shirt and hex for $30. good deal
May 4, 2015 8:40 AM - Mike Kelly: they take care of their customers
May 4, 2015 8:40 AM - jbigler1986: i guess so
May 4, 2015 8:44 AM - donhuevo: hola muchachos
May 4, 2015 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: hola senor
May 4, 2015 8:45 AM - donhuevo: ordered the solenoid yesterday
May 4, 2015 8:45 AM - jbigler1986: buenos dias
May 4, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: sweet
May 4, 2015 8:45 AM - donhuevo: we'll see. I don't think I want to have to print another carriage.
May 4, 2015 8:46 AM - Mike Kelly: make an add on
May 4, 2015 8:46 AM - donhuevo: yes. minor surgery is preferred
May 4, 2015 8:51 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:328569 who is going to do it?
May 4, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Kelly: hellova project
May 4, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe once i finish the engine and transmission
May 4, 2015 8:54 AM - donhuevo: that does look like fun
May 4, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.alephobjects.com/jobs.html should i apply?
May 4, 2015 8:55 AM - donhuevo: it's in your back yard
May 4, 2015 8:56 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah just a short 1hour 20 minute commute :\
May 4, 2015 8:56 AM - donhuevo: is that on the bike or in a car?
May 4, 2015 8:57 AM - Bill Monroe: jb, I have this queued up to make in woodfill for 2.0's xmas gift: http://www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/floatingwheelpage1.htm
May 4, 2015 8:58 AM - Mike Kelly: lol car
May 4, 2015 8:59 AM - donhuevo: well, you do have a team of scientists that could help you move
May 4, 2015 8:59 AM - donhuevo: Bill, did you see that A4 I found you in Los Angeles
May 4, 2015 9:00 AM - jbigler1986: lol
May 4, 2015 9:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: apply. tell them you'll commute in two days a week.
May 4, 2015 9:04 AM - donhuevo: sorry, it's in AZ http://www.planecheck.com/index.asp?ent=da&id=19202&cor=y

 

May 4, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: that would be nice
May 4, 2015 9:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: the worst that happens is they say no thanks
May 4, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: from the description it sounds like there's day to day office work
May 4, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: but we'll see
May 4, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll apply and who knows what will happen
May 4, 2015 9:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: for JBs quick release hot end. What about a toggle clamp?
May 4, 2015 9:10 AM - Mike Kelly: this is my current thinking: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcvosrrusmv2o71/Quick Release.PNG?dl=0
May 4, 2015 9:13 AM - bamhm182: Morning, everybody
May 4, 2015 9:15 AM - donhuevo: morning bam
May 4, 2015 9:16 AM - donhuevo: as for quick release, I'm happy with my clip
May 4, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: need a whole new carriage for your though right?
May 4, 2015 9:19 AM - donhuevo: yep.
May 4, 2015 9:19 AM - donhuevo: this is a really old pic but I was using the clip back then too... http://i.imgur.com/KLCfv3r.jpg
May 4, 2015 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: that must be ancient, you still have the lid on
May 4, 2015 9:22 AM - donhuevo: probably 4 carriages back
May 4, 2015 9:22 AM - bamhm182: Don's picture just reminded me. MK, on your modular carriage, I noticed you moved the X home switch onto the carriage. I was just curious as to why. Does it improve anything, or did you just like its placement there better?
May 4, 2015 9:22 AM - donhuevo: you can't see it but the HfnC's are still there too
May 4, 2015 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: placement preferance
May 4, 2015 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: now i just need 1 wire bundle running from the bottom of the printer
May 4, 2015 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: since i don't use the stock autolevel method anymore i don't have anything going to the x idler
May 4, 2015 9:24 AM - donhuevo: except the wires to the x stepper
May 4, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: technically i could run that in the same bundle
May 4, 2015 9:25 AM - donhuevo: true
May 4, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm not surrently but yeah
May 4, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: that was the design intent
May 4, 2015 9:25 AM - donhuevo: have them jump out on the way past
May 4, 2015 9:25 AM - bamhm182: Fair enough
May 4, 2015 9:27 AM - donhuevo: whoever invented regular expressions needs smacked.
May 4, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly:
May 4, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: click the arrows
May 4, 2015 9:31 AM - bamhm182: I didn't understand until you said to click the arrows, haha
May 4, 2015 9:31 AM - bamhm182: I was just watching a video with terrible quality and audio going "huh, is this a joke?"
May 4, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 4, 2015 9:32 AM - bamhm182: That's pretty cool though
May 4, 2015 9:32 AM - Mike Kelly: then "mind blown"
May 4, 2015 9:32 AM - bamhm182: Exactly, haha
May 4, 2015 9:33 AM - Bill Monroe: don, I did see that ad.. it's a TA-4.. the back seat really ruins it's performance, but it has a nice panel alright
May 4, 2015 9:33 AM - Bill Monroe: besides, I'm done with passengers barfing just because I might be upside down...
May 4, 2015 9:33 AM - donhuevo: 2.0 can ride along
May 4, 2015 9:34 AM - Bill Monroe: she likes to fly if we're going to someplace nice.. wine country B&B is her thing
May 4, 2015 9:34 AM - Bill Monroe: there's no way she'd get in that plane
May 4, 2015 9:35 AM - donhuevo: a little leather here and there, a cup holder...
May 4, 2015 9:35 AM - Bill Monroe: heh
May 4, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: jb did you want the part files to print that carriage or wait till i figure out what to do for the nuts
May 4, 2015 9:35 AM - Bill Monroe: ya know.. A4 would fit in my hanger, I dont think the TA4 would
May 4, 2015 9:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: you need a bigger hanger
May 4, 2015 9:36 AM - Bill Monroe: everyone does
May 4, 2015 9:37 AM - Bill Monroe: I have the biggest one available that isnt designated for business use.. the biz hangers are *very* pricey
May 4, 2015 9:37 AM - donhuevo: Mike, did you catch the chess set yesterday?
May 4, 2015 9:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: even these guys? > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangar_One_(Mountain_View,_California)
May 4, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: i missed it, lemme look at the log
May 4, 2015 9:38 AM - jbigler1986: i can wait
May 4, 2015 9:38 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm pretty sure that would be an expensive mancave
May 4, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: did you print the shroud
May 4, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: not yet. fell asleep
May 4, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: i am tonight
May 4, 2015 9:39 AM - Soupaboy: When did this turn into the pilot's discussion forums?
May 4, 2015 9:39 AM - donhuevo: Soup, you don't need a driver's license to fly a plane
May 4, 2015 9:40 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm pretty sure that expensive mancave/hanger would take a long time to print
May 4, 2015 9:40 AM - Bill Monroe: better?
May 4, 2015 9:41 AM - Soupaboy: its all about quadcopters people
May 4, 2015 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: couple years bill
May 4, 2015 9:41 AM - Bill Monroe: just a couple of years?? 2.0s xmas gift can wait
May 4, 2015 9:41 AM - Mike Kelly: http://projectegg.org/project-egg/ i expect weekly progress reports bill
May 4, 2015 9:42 AM - Bill Monroe: ya like that huh? theres a B&B up here you might like.. let me find it on google earth
May 4, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: stephen what's a good strength rating for toggle clamps
May 4, 2015 9:49 AM - Bill Monroe: 34°07'37.99" N 116°15'38.72" W
May 4, 2015 9:49 AM - Bill Monroe: i talked to these guys saturday, they're looking into making a concrete printer
May 4, 2015 9:50 AM - bamhm182: That project egg thing is pretty cool
May 4, 2015 9:50 AM - Bill Monroe: real close someone is building a shop similar to what I want to build
May 4, 2015 9:51 AM - Bill Monroe: with all the mysterious chemicals, I dont think I'd want to make a plastic house
May 4, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i volunteered to print a part for the egg, but was having a lot of printer issues so i couldn't ever get around to it
May 4, 2015 9:52 AM - bamhm182: With how hot it gets in the south, I don't think I'd want to make a plastic house
May 4, 2015 9:52 AM - bamhm182: "Honey, the wall is melting again!"
May 4, 2015 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: you could do it with ABS
May 4, 2015 9:52 AM - Bill Monroe: i dunno.. theres a lot of plastic drinking bottle litter out here.. they're doing ok
May 4, 2015 9:52 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, suppose that's true
May 4, 2015 9:53 AM - Mike Kelly: i've seen homes made from bottles as well
May 4, 2015 9:53 AM - jbigler1986: count me out with ABS
May 4, 2015 9:53 AM - donhuevo: I've seen some pretty swanky cardboard houses too
May 4, 2015 9:53 AM - Bill Monroe: outgassing kills it for me
May 4, 2015 9:53 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to try some ABS on the R1.6 and see how it does
May 4, 2015 9:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: hmm toggle clamps
May 4, 2015 9:54 AM - Bill Monroe: but a concrete printer... hmmm...
May 4, 2015 9:54 AM - bamhm182:
May 4, 2015 9:54 AM - bamhm182: 10/10. Would live in
May 4, 2015 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: concrete printers are cool
May 4, 2015 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i like that guys castle
May 4, 2015 9:54 AM - donhuevo: ranch style cardboard home. like it.
May 4, 2015 9:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: even the little ones are typically good for 100#s
May 4, 2015 9:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: so a 3D printed one could expect 25-50?
May 4, 2015 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah amazon sells a range, 500lb's are like $9 but 200lb's are $7
May 4, 2015 9:57 AM - Bill Monroe: ask matt to get some cardboardfill
May 4, 2015 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: i hate mondays
May 4, 2015 10:05 AM - Mike Kelly: ^
May 4, 2015 10:05 AM - Mike Kelly: monday monkey lives for the weekend
May 4, 2015 10:05 AM - bamhm182: I hate whatever day Monday happens to be. They've got me working random days. Whatever day is the day after the weekend sucks
May 4, 2015 10:06 AM - Mike Kelly: this weekend went by too fast, brewing beer is fun but it takes up a whole day
May 4, 2015 10:06 AM - bamhm182: By the way, I figured out how to get Emmett's Gyroids to work well for me. I scaled up his stick things to 110% (black) and 125% (orange) Using a combination of the 3 colors, they stay together pretty well
May 4, 2015 10:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: i was just hunting around a little and I'm surprised that no one has modeled a zip tie gun

 

May 4, 2015 10:09 AM - donhuevo: oooh
May 4, 2015 10:09 AM - donhuevo: that would be nice
May 4, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: that could totally work
May 4, 2015 10:10 AM - Stephen Capistron: its on the list. Right after i make a concrete dog bowl
May 4, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: why
May 4, 2015 10:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: my dog is afraid of her bowls
May 4, 2015 10:12 AM - bamhm182: Because can, Mike. Because can
May 4, 2015 10:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: they move too easily / make too much noise
May 4, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: bolts?
May 4, 2015 10:12 AM - bamhm182: My dog isn't afraid of her bowl, she's just not smart enough to realize that we try to give her food so she doesn't die and avoids them because people food is better
May 4, 2015 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: torque wrench is almost printed jb
May 4, 2015 10:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think you should print 30 and do a repeatability study on their torque limit
May 4, 2015 10:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: for science you know
May 4, 2015 10:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i do have like 6 spools of filament here that will probably never be used
May 4, 2015 10:21 AM - bamhm182: Well there you go, then!
May 4, 2015 10:23 AM - jbigler1986: let me know how it goes
May 4, 2015 10:23 AM - jbigler1986: you will get even more filament soon mike
May 4, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: sweet
May 4, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: trying to put it together right now
May 4, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: doesn't really fit...
May 4, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Kelly: got it
May 4, 2015 10:32 AM - donhuevo: yay!
May 4, 2015 10:33 AM - jbigler1986: sweet
May 4, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: probably not the best thing to print in abs
May 4, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: does take a decent amount of torque to get it to slip
May 4, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: can't do it by hand
May 4, 2015 10:36 AM - donhuevo: I don't think she said that
May 4, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure why she would
May 4, 2015 10:36 AM - jbigler1986: that good
May 4, 2015 10:36 AM - jbigler1986: or to much?
May 4, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: i think it's a good amount
May 4, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: just beyond hand tight is basically what you wnat
May 4, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: jb were you still trying to print bushings: http://www.igus.eu/wpck/13322/N15_04_12_iglidur_TriboFilament
May 4, 2015 10:48 AM - donhuevo: I wasn't happy with the results I got from the tribo sample they sent me
May 4, 2015 10:48 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. the bearings i have sound like shit
May 4, 2015 10:48 AM - donhuevo: very poor layer-layer adhesion
May 4, 2015 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: what temperatures did you try at
May 4, 2015 10:49 AM - donhuevo: what they recommended
May 4, 2015 10:49 AM - donhuevo: it was hot
May 4, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: but did you go to 11?
May 4, 2015 10:50 AM - donhuevo: twice
May 4, 2015 10:52 AM - bamhm182: 22!?! Dear god, man! Are you insane!
May 4, 2015 10:53 AM - donhuevo: the flange bushings may be the ticket. http://www.igus.com/iPro/iPro_02_0017_0000_USen.htm?c=US&l=en
May 4, 2015 10:53 AM - jbigler1986: bearings are the only thing keeping me from printing carriages
May 4, 2015 10:56 AM - donhuevo: how's come?
May 4, 2015 10:56 AM - jbigler1986: don't have the tools to clean them and such. bought a pack of 10 and they sound like crap
May 4, 2015 10:57 AM - donhuevo: clean them? they need cleaned?
May 4, 2015 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: http://makezine.com/2015/04/29/printrbot-announces-new-kid-friendly-3d-printer/ i like the looks of this
May 4, 2015 10:58 AM - jbigler1986: might help. maybe they are just shit
May 4, 2015 10:59 AM - Bill Monroe: cleaning is crucial to success with amazon lm8s
May 4, 2015 11:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i should invest in an ultrasonic
May 4, 2015 11:00 AM - Bill Monroe: no better money could be spent
May 4, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: can't stand the sound they make though
May 4, 2015 11:01 AM - Bill Monroe: get the $80 one from HF once the wife does her jewelery in it.. you'll be her hero
May 4, 2015 11:02 AM - Bill Monroe: jeesuz.. suck it up and push through it.. the sound is war on filth!
May 4, 2015 11:03 AM - Bill Monroe: once they're clean.. use it with light oil in it.. gets the lube in every nook and cranny
May 4, 2015 11:04 AM - Bill Monroe: dont blow air in them...
May 4, 2015 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: just denatured alcohol?
May 4, 2015 11:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: brake clean
May 4, 2015 11:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: i'm kidding
May 4, 2015 11:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: but it might work
May 4, 2015 11:05 AM - Bill Monroe: i use paint thinner first.. really dissolve whatever the chinese put in them and helps loosen the crap.. then denatured to clean out the pain thinner.. air dry/drain, then back in with oil
May 4, 2015 11:07 AM - Bill Monroe: i dunno about brake cleaner.. gotta be careful not to use something that might react with the cheapo plastics they use
May 4, 2015 11:08 AM - toy: on the ramps board i need to add all the jumpers for the a4988's?
May 4, 2015 11:09 AM - Bill Monroe: you also dont want to tap them on the counter ot anthing like that.. they balls will come out
May 4, 2015 11:09 AM - Mike Kelly: toy if you want 1/16 steps then yes
May 4, 2015 11:09 AM - toy: thought so... i wasnt sure if it was by default
May 4, 2015 11:10 AM - toy: does the ramps board auto change between micro stepping?
May 4, 2015 11:10 AM - Mike Kelly: uh what
May 4, 2015 11:10 AM - toy: i know my gecko540 does....
May 4, 2015 11:11 AM - toy: i was wondering if the ramps is always in 1/16 mode with the jumpers or if it switches between micro stepping mode

May 4, 2015 11:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: carb cleaner might actually work. it tends to be a bit gentler on the rubber seals so it should go easy on the crap plastic.

May 4, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: had to add a little filler inside the drum though
May 4, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: gave like a whole bag of candy on one turn
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: and the problem with that was ? ...
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - bamhm182: Hahaha
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - donhuevo: I prefer a generous machine to a stingy one
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - bamhm182: Depends on who the candy is for
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: if you want filler, just mix in some tootsie rolls
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - bamhm182: If it's on your desk for you, generous. If it's there for people who come into your office, stingy
May 4, 2015 11:41 AM - donhuevo: and candy corn
May 4, 2015 11:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: the only thing worse than those are made in a factory nearby. NECCO wafers

May 4, 2015 11:43 AM - bamhm182: "How's about we take chalk and make it taste kinda like soap and market it as a candy!"
