Jun 29, 2015 at 6:26 PM - jbigler1986: The actual thing. Atleast im not seeing how to adjust the tension if you can
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:27 PM - jbigler1986: The yellow one i just posted i modified for the robo. Just need to print 2 parts and use a few parts from gregs wade
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:28 PM - daniel871: It looks to me tension adjusts by putting oblique pressure on the filament as it goes into the gears.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:29 PM - daniel871: Which doesn't look very good for brittle filaments if things aren't going just perfect.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:29 PM - daniel871: (for the thingiverse one I linked to).
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:30 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah sometimes you need to loosen the tension or tighten it for various reasons
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: Just like using gregs wade. Sometime you need to adjust the spring tension bolts
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:31 PM - daniel871: The gears themselves look like they simply run directly on each other and your filament better be able to go through that opening.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:32 PM - daniel871: Ordered one of the regular motors and one of the geared ones so I can do things either way.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:33 PM - daniel871: What I may do is put the regular motor on the Wade and then print your modified one if you send me the STL files (not sure how I'd pay you for the physical parts anyway).
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:35 PM - Stephen Capistron: Should give Daniel the link to the $4 drive gears I dug up the other day
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:38 PM - daniel871: this one? http://www.amazon.com/Extruder-Driv...pebp=1435628403697&perid=1WKD67TFNKZRFJRRR85N
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:38 PM - Stephen Capistron: Twelvepro.com
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:38 PM - daniel871: What's their shipping speed like?
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:39 PM - Stephen Capistron: In my, and Don's, opinion the mk8 kind of sucks for Bowden applications as the diameter is too small
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:39 PM - jbigler1986: I got them today. Ordered them thursday i believe
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:40 PM - daniel871: Not planning to try bowden given how much trouble people that have done more fiddling than me have had getting it set up.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: Not a big enough contact patch between the filament and the drive gear so it needs a lot of pressure to push through the tube which causes the filament to become oblong . Then everything goes to hell
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:41 PM - Stephen Capistron: Ask JB, he lived it
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:41 PM - daniel871: Good enough for Direct Drive or Wade setups though, right?
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:41 PM - jbigler1986: My issue was the damn drive gear i was using
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:41 PM - jbigler1986: As soon as i used a different one i have had no issues
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:42 PM - Stephen Capistron: Right, if you are driving from the carriage you'll be fine
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:42 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah direct drive my shitty drive gear worked
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:44 PM - jbigler1986: Sc find me a link to buy stepper wires that have the 4/6 pin connector that goes into the stepper then the other goes into the ramps. Dont care about length bc i cwn extend it
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:48 PM - daniel871: Gold plated? http://www.amazon.com/Feedstock-Ext...sbs_328_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=1P5F1KXE2VGZ69V6MKDF
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:50 PM - jbigler1986: Had that one until i broke it. Worked gook
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:50 PM - jbigler1986: Good*
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:50 PM - daniel871: Must not make 1st joke that came to mind.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:50 PM - jbigler1986: Make sure you get one that fits your gear stepper shaft
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:52 PM - daniel871: Ugh. 6mm shaft with a flat.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:53 PM - jbigler1986: Order the MK7 from twelvepro and bore it out. Thays what im doing.
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:53 PM - jbigler1986: It has a thick enough wall to bore it out
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:54 PM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-motor-plug-wire-six/1279365_32290991173.html
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:54 PM - jbigler1986: $33?
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:54 PM - Stephen Capistron: And it is 304ss so it machines pretty easy
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: You said to find them, not find cheap ones
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:55 PM - jbigler1986: Lol. True
Jun 29, 2015 at 6:59 PM - jbigler1986: May just solder to the points on the stepper board
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:02 PM - Stephen Capistron: I was going to say just pop it open and trace the wiring using your multimeter and solder right to the coils
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.lektrix.org/abstractTwister.html
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Stephen Capistron: Little ways down the page. 6eu
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:08 PM - jbigler1986: no details. what the heck
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: https://www.simplestep.com/StaticPages/Home.aspx Could email them and ask. They sell a few different harnesses, but not the right one
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:27 PM - jbigler1986: https://www.simplestep.com/Products/ItemDetail.aspx?ProductID=16
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:31 PM - Stephen Capistron: I think that is a 4 pin plug
Jun 29, 2015 at 7:32 PM - jbigler1986: for the stepper part itself
Jun 29, 2015 at 8:29 PM - toy: ugh.. volcano jammed also
Jun 29, 2015 at 8:34 PM - jbigler1986: do what i suggested
Jun 29, 2015 at 8:47 PM - toy: u have a pic...
Jun 29, 2015 at 8:49 PM - toy: it seem to get jammed in the small shaft connecting the heatsink and heatbreak
Jun 29, 2015 at 8:54 PM - toy: with the amount of force the bondtechs drive the filament i cant see how some teeth marks on the filament can stop it
Jun 29, 2015 at 8:59 PM - jbigler1986: You would be surprised
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:01 PM - jbigler1986:

 

Jun 29, 2015 at 9:01 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:01 PM - jbigler1986: Zoom in and you can see the teeth marks
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:01 PM - toy: my teeth marks are nothing like that
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:02 PM - jbigler1986: That was with a geared stepper too. It was causing it to jam. Screwed with it for 3 days
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:02 PM - toy: what do u have now?
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:02 PM - jbigler1986: Change drive gear and havent jammed since. Its worth a try. At least it would rule it out of it didnt fix it
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:03 PM - jbigler1986: MK8
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:03 PM - toy: have u seen the bondtechs
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:03 PM - jbigler1986: Used gregs wade with this bowden as well. No issues
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:03 PM - jbigler1986: I have yeah.
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:04 PM - jbigler1986: Not worth the price to me honestly
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:04 PM - jbigler1986: Its not to be able to assemble it and go. I like to troubleshoot though.
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:04 PM - toy: it barely cuts any teeth marks into the filament
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:05 PM - jbigler1986: I meant to say. Its nice to be able to assemble it and go
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:05 PM - toy: its getting jammed in the stem part of the v6
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:06 PM - jbigler1986: The heatbreak?
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:06 PM - toy: the stem that connects the break and heatsink
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:06 PM - jbigler1986: What retraction distance are you using?
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:07 PM - toy: 1mm
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:08 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm. Ran a drill through the whole heatbreak to clean it?
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:10 PM - jbigler1986: I gotta catch som z's. I will try and help more tomorrow if you are on
Jun 29, 2015 at 9:10 PM - toy: np thx
Jun 30, 2015 at 3:36 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Jun 30, 2015 at 4:04 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jun 30, 2015 at 4:09 AM - Shank: Morning

Jun 30, 2015 at 4:43 AM - Bill Monroe: dont worry.. I called 911
Jun 30, 2015 at 4:44 AM - Shank: 911 what is your emergency
Jun 30, 2015 at 4:44 AM - Bill Monroe: I got voicemail
Jun 30, 2015 at 4:45 AM - Shank: did you get put on the spam caller list again?
Jun 30, 2015 at 4:46 AM - Bill Monroe: I dont think so.. they woudnt do that to me I'm sure they were just busy
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: to busy for Bill? Never
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: I cant believe how much stuff I've thrown out in the past few days
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:03 AM - JeffTheMess: morning folks
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:04 AM - Bill Monroe: JTM
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:04 AM - JeffTheMess: how are we doing today
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:07 AM - jbigler1986: good. gotta design a jhead mounting plate and mount for my desk all in one piece
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:08 AM - JeffTheMess: Jb always upgrading
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:10 AM - jbigler1986: yep
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:10 AM - jbigler1986: hard to stop
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:10 AM - JeffTheMess: addiction
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: wired up 4 pin connectors last night for my steppers and stepper wires running to the ramps. easy to swap steppers now
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: what kind did you use?
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:13 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:29 AM - Shank: so i think my printer is bipolar
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: Your steppers are
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:30 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:31 AM - Shank: nicely done
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:33 AM - jbigler1986: what problems now?
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:34 AM - Shank: alot lol...well all depends on how it feels at the moment.
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:36 AM - daniel871: Ugh, I'm not looking forward to fighting with the safety enclosure while running wires for the new stepper motor for my Wade extruder.
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:40 AM - Stephen Capistron: Take the whole lid off
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: Shank, if your printer is being temperamental then either som
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: Something is overheating or a connection is loose
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:42 AM - Shank: i was running a test cube on it last night and getting sink on the bottom sort of like when the bed is to hot...so i turn off the bed, and was getting beautiful laying and finish until I notice my cooling fans weren’t running so I connected them (about 3/4ths the way through the part) and it tapers out in size and the surface finish turns to trash….so then I run two test programs after that. one with the fans on all the way through the program a
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: Material?
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:43 AM - Shank: one with the fans on all the way through the program and one with the fans off all the way…..the program with fans on had bad surface finish like before and the program with fans off failed half way through. Both with sink problems at the bottom.
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:44 AM - Shank: new material
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:45 AM - Shank: hatchbox pla
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: Like elephants foot? That means the bed is too hot
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: Fans
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:50 AM - Shank: what about the fans?
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: Also offset to low
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: My phone is misbehaving
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: Fans should be off for the first couple of layers
Jun 30, 2015 at 5:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: After that if your surfaces don't look good you are printing too hot
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:00 AM - Shank: offset is at 1 and normally have fans off first 2 layers
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:14 AM - jbigler1986: ok SC. another search for you
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:15 AM - jbigler1986: find me cheap 4 pin wiring for the ramps. just need to be 4 pin and have some wiring. US reseller too
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:16 AM - jbigler1986: i no longer need it to have the connecter that plugs into the stepper
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:30 AM - jbigler1986: is the heater cartridge connected to the ramps with a connector?
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:31 AM - Shank: No
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:35 AM - jbigler1986: nevermind. didn't see D10
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:36 AM - JeffTheMess: what has the world come to https://www.yahoo.com/health/the-imminent-leap-second-thats-stressing-122782504058.html
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: to bad this wasn't on prime http://www.amazon.com/10pcs-Female-...=1435671538&sr=8-2&keywords=4+pin+jumper+wire
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:42 AM - jbigler1986: just ordered a set of 10
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:44 AM - JeffTheMess: http://www.instructables.com/id/Paintball-Minigun-HK-1/
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:45 AM - jbigler1986: nice
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:49 AM - Shank: dont the robo r1 have nema 17?
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:49 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:50 AM - jbigler1986: has 5
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:50 AM - Shank: http://www.matterhackers.com/store/printer-accessories/nema-17-stepper-motor
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:50 AM - Shank: look at the answer to question 1
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:52 AM - Mike Glass: .9, is that even right?
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:52 AM - jbigler1986: yeah the degree is above me. i do not know enough about it
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:52 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:53 AM - Mike Glass: Guess it is common /half of 1.8. morning JB
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:54 AM - jbigler1986: how are things in your neck of the woods
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:55 AM - Mike Glass: well, guess we had a user get hit with the crypto virus, so tracking how that go into our system.
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:56 AM - Mike Glass: she got 9 gigs of files locked, we had to restore.
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:56 AM - Shank: they get a email anytime soon they opened?
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:56 AM - daniel871: Tell her to stop browsing porn at work.
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:57 AM - Mike Glass: nobody seems to know, i think it was off a sharing site, as she has access to personal storage sites and others dont.
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:57 AM - jbigler1986: well MG sent her the link
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:57 AM - Mike Glass: I was gone yesterday too...lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:57 AM - jbigler1986: she just clicked on an ad that was on MG's porn link
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:58 AM - jbigler1986: not Mike's fault
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:58 AM - daniel871: Ads are driven by what people look at prior to going to a given site nowadays, though. So still, stop browsing porn at work.
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:58 AM - daniel871: Like, all of my FB ads are now for MK8 drive gears and stepper motors.

 

Jun 30, 2015 at 6:59 AM - jbigler1986: kinda crazy when you think about it
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:01 AM - Mike Glass: hmm do you think amazon does any ad tracking..
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:01 AM - daniel871: Probably.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:02 AM - Mike Glass: every site I go to know has the last items i looked at on amazon..lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:02 AM - daniel871: I think it's mostly browser-side cookies though.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:03 AM - daniel871: And not any real direct communication between Amazon and other sites.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:20 AM - Mike Kelly: mornin
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:22 AM - jbigler1986: hello
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:23 AM - Shank: morning
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:26 AM - Mike Glass: yo,,bbl meeting time.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:29 AM - daniel871: Hm, PrintedSolid.com is undergoing construction. Haven't seen a page that said that in a long time.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:29 AM - jbigler1986: yep. he is redoing his site. moving up
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:29 AM - jbigler1986: it needed it
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:30 AM - daniel871: I liked the convenience of having a "Pay for this with my Amazon.com payment options" button.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:30 AM - daniel871: Hopefully that stays there.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: i did half of the work here http://lilfan.com/
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:32 AM - jbigler1986: it's not hard to do. just time consuming
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm starting breaking ground on my portfolio
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: forgot how complex that stuff can be
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:34 AM - daniel871: Way back in the days of "everyone has a website" I had one as well. HTML coding to make weird shit happen was fun back in the day.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: i love html coding
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: idk why. i hate programming though. it's weird
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: php coding is fun as well
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:36 AM - jbigler1986: MK you should take the ramps from 1.6 and put it in the hybrid to see if that solves it
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:36 AM - daniel871: I'm going to be weirdly relieved if it turns out the reason my exotic filament clogs kept happening was because the extruder stepper motor was always fucking up and needed fixing.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: what's wrong with ur stepper
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: i really just need to try something, been having motivation issues
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:38 AM - daniel871: Contacts with the wiring are bad between the ramps and the motor itself.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: then you would know what the issue is
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:38 AM - daniel871: As in, the plug end at the motor itself just had the wires sitting loosely in the plug instead of firmly fixed like they should be.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:39 AM - daniel871: If I hadn't done so much other shit to my Robo I'd take it up with a support ticket, but between the E3D hotend changes and it being 3 months down the road I don't think they'd send me anything.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: they probably will. i got stuff not long ago and i literally told them my upgrades. although they probably know me by now. lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: daniel they absolutely will
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: i mean unless you did something to cause the damage
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: but if shit's not working and it's not your fault they'll honor it
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:43 AM - daniel871: Already pulled the trigger on some motors (one regular, one geared since I'm going to experiment with a direct drive setup) on Amazon.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:44 AM - jbigler1986: MK sent you a PM
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Mike Kelly: so he actually responded
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:44 AM - jbigler1986: i ran direct drive for like 2 days. then figured I might as well go bowden since I was close enough already
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:45 AM - daniel871: I'm thinking that simply taking things apart to drill out the Wade extruder for the v6 could be argued as plenty of opportunity to cause the wires to come loose, which is why I don't think it applies enough to bother them with it.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: Harry did. Not Braydon
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: oh yeah he absolutely doesn't know anything
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: haven't heard from Braydon in like a month
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:46 AM - jbigler1986: Just email them. Jerry is very good at replying
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:46 AM - Mike Kelly: he's also in china so i'm not sure he'll reply
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:46 AM - daniel871: I'd need to get the serial number off of wherever it is on the Robo, right?
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:47 AM - Mike Kelly: inside the top lid
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:47 AM - daniel871: Think I saw a sticker with a number on it inside the top cover.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:47 AM - jbigler1986: Harry said he talked to Braydon about it. Who knows
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:47 AM - Mike Kelly: i never trust interns
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:47 AM - daniel871: If nothing else comes up I'll shoot a request off for the wires.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:48 AM - daniel871: Then I'll have a spare stepper I can use if I need it.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: u already will have a spare since you ordered 2
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:48 AM - daniel871: They aren't a 1:1 replacement for each other though. The geared on the Greg's Wade would be comical probably.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - daniel871: What would that be, 5x the current steps in the firmware?
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - daniel871: 5.18x, rather
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - daniel871: Super resolution if the power demand could keep up.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: 3729 lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: geared stepper on gregs would be insane and a waste
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: get a .1micron nozzle
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: would need to print slow
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: print MEMS
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:50 AM - daniel871: Super slow and delicate T-glase prints.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: MK gonna go dual gregs. to cheap to order another geared stepper right now
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:51 AM - daniel871: But yeah, the geared was meant for a direct drive setup.
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: good call
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: new hobbed bolt will be here tomorrow
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm really considering selling off my geared steppers and buying some new ones
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: though i'm not entirely convinced that's the issue
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:52 AM - jbigler1986: snapped my m4 tap using the hobbedmaker
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: shitty
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:52 AM - jbigler1986: go ahead and send me one of those geared steppers
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: did you buy the e3d one
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:53 AM - jbigler1986: no
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:54 AM - jbigler1986: i will buy a geared stepper from you for $5. lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:55 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: that's fair right?
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: shit. actually you still have those bowden adapters right?
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:57 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm about to use one of them though
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:58 AM - jbigler1986: send me the other? just realized i'm gonna need another
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:58 AM - Mike Kelly: i can probably do that
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:58 AM - Mike Kelly: won't be till monday at the earliest
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:59 AM - jbigler1986: i wont have everything setup for a week or so anyways
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:00 AM - Mike Kelly: ok just remind me when i get back
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i leave for SF tomorrow, get back sunday
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: nice
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: fun place
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: expensive as hell though
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:02 AM - daniel871: Is there a Robo mount for a Bowden setup so it can be mounted on the outside of the case or something
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: for gregs wade?
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:03 AM - daniel871: Thought I saw a picture of one in someone's printer thread, but no Thingiverse link or anything.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:03 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:04 AM - daniel871: How wobbly was that setup?
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: not at all
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: my issue was the shit bowden clamp i was using
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: wobbly? how dare you
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:05 AM - daniel871: Just looking at how much was sticking up in the air.

 

Jun 30, 2015 at 8:08 AM - jbigler1986: bowden is on his mind now. yep that will be happening soon
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:09 AM - daniel871: Well, if I don't like direct drive it'll be the next thing to try before just putting the original Wade back on and leaving things as-is.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:10 AM - daniel871: Don't think I want to try and tackle dual extruding though, because I'm having enough trouble with just the one.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:10 AM - jbigler1986: direct worked good but bowden quality was amazing
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:10 AM - daniel871: Did you have to adjust the bulletbox weight at all?
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: nope
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:13 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/29/bricasso-printer-makes-mosaics-out-of-lego-tiles/
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: plus printing parts at 130 is nice
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:13 AM - daniel871: Was halfway contemplating making sure the bulletbox was able to hold liquid and dumping Gallium into it until it balanced the stepper, but figured there were tons of ways that could go wrong.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:14 AM - daniel871: If the density of the stuff was anywhere near heavy enough to work.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: just melt up some lead
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:18 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=gallium
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:19 AM - daniel871: A gallium spoon seems like a wasted prank anywhere that has a Summer season.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:20 AM - jbigler1986: whats wrong with coins?
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:24 AM - daniel871: I've got a lot of quarters in mine right now.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:24 AM - daniel871: Said quarters could be used to buy a coke once in a while at work.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:24 AM - Mike Kelly: pennies...
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:25 AM - daniel871: Or go to my change jar until it's full enough to be worth cashing in.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:25 AM - jbigler1986: i have random different coins in mine
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:25 AM - daniel871: I don't get very many pennies for some reason.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: take 2 dollars to a bank, get a shitload of pennies
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:25 AM - jbigler1986: i rarely get any change bc i never have cash
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:26 AM - Bill Monroe: in my bullet box I put.. well.. bullets
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:26 AM - daniel871: I haven't set foot in a bank in over a year, probably.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:27 AM - daniel871: Direct Deposit, mobile banking, etc.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: ok well you probably drive by a bank on the way home
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: pretty sure georgia still has banks
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:27 AM - daniel871: Whenever they made it so you could deposit a check with your phone.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: hell doesn't even have to be your bank
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - daniel871: They do, but screw waiting in line for two bucks worth of pennies.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: ...
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: ok so imagine how much you use the bank
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: that's how much everyone else uses a bank
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: you could also do it at walmart
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - daniel871: You haven't been to Georgia much.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: yeah usually only on friday are there lines
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:29 AM - jbigler1986: and monday
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: grocery store as well
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:29 AM - daniel871: I have coworkers that are all "I can't believe you trust that technology not to screw you over" regarding the direct deposit and mobile banking stuff.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe even a gas station would but they're kinda weird about money
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: the tin foil hats are strong with them
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - jbigler1986: that they are
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - daniel871: May buy a coke and ask for the last two bucks in pennies after breaking a five.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: there ya go
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - daniel871: Make everyone in line behind me mad.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - daniel871:
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: na they'd only be mad if you bought a coke with pennies
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:31 AM - Mike Kelly: huh crazy so S3D 3.0 does the "line up front" at the beginning of rep2x prints now
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:31 AM - daniel871: LOL if you think the person behind the counter will be able to figure out they can just give me rolled pennies instead of counting them out.
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:33 AM - jbigler1986: i need 3.0
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:33 AM - jbigler1986: should probably actually buy it
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a pretty substantial update
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Mike Kelly: though for some reason my rep2 at home no longer reports a bed temperature to the control panel
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Mike Kelly: need to bug joey about that
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:44 AM - jbigler1986: burn it
Jun 30, 2015 at 8:58 AM - donhuevo: are you kids behaving?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:00 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:01 AM - donhuevo: ok then
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:01 AM - donhuevo: so your bed thermistor shit the bed or you have an open?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:02 AM - Mike Kelly: i've got a hot end thermistor that's jumping around more than michael j fox
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:03 AM - donhuevo: well that's a lot of jumping
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:03 AM - Mike Kelly: and i can't get it to do anything by hand
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:04 AM - donhuevo: are we still talking about the rep2?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: oh wait no
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: this is my robostein
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: my rep2 works fine it's just for some reason s3d's machine control panel isn't pulling the heated bed temperature
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:04 AM - donhuevo: ah... and ah...
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:05 AM - donhuevo: but the rep2 bed is heating?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:05 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:05 AM - Mike Kelly: i have to use the lcd on it
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:05 AM - donhuevo: might be looking at the wrong variable then
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:05 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i think it's a profile issue
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to compare it against 2.2.2 or w/e
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: see what changed
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:06 AM - donhuevo: as for the robostein, how many junctions, plugs, splices do you have between the thermistor and the ramps?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: it goes thermistor (solder) wire (JST Connector) wire (20pin molex) wire (ramps connector)
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to flip it over and look at the ramps connection
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i really hope it's as simple as that
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Mike Kelly: but i'm working on replacing my bondtech housing so the wiring issue is on hold
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:10 AM - donhuevo: if you don't have any spare thermistors, now would be the time to put a few on the shelf
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:10 AM - Mike Kelly: i have spares
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:10 AM - donhuevo: you're a good man Charlie Brown
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Mike Kelly: it's just not clear where the issue resides
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll probably make another one
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm out of the blue high temp wrap though
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:12 AM - donhuevo: I suppose the heater could be going bad and everything else is working perfectly
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:12 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess that's possible but the jittery nature leads me to believe it's something in the thermistor line
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:12 AM - Mike Kelly: though i am contemplating going to 24v on that rail
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:13 AM - donhuevo: I'm thinking about it now and jittery would look more like a bad heater than thermistor. Thermistor would drop to zero
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:13 AM - donhuevo: if there was an intermittent open anyway
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's confusing
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Kelly: i think because the arduino does a rolling average
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:14 AM - donhuevo: I'm thinking about the temp graphs in repetier
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Kelly: that's why you see odd numbers right before and after a short
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish i had taken a screen shot of the graph
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:15 AM - donhuevo: if you can still run that machine dual then maybe swap heaters and see how each extruder behaves
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Kelly: right
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:18 AM - Mike Kelly: i really think people don't know that retarded originated as a technical term
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Mike Kelly: that bearing is retarded
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:19 AM - donhuevo: you need to retard the timing on that engine

 

Jun 30, 2015 at 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: hello don
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:20 AM - donhuevo: hello jb
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Mike Glass: Esposito

Jun 30, 2015 at 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: Lopez booty is starting to get a little large for my taste
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM - donhuevo: at least it's not nicki minaj large yet
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Mike Glass: ewww
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM - donhuevo: that's unsettling
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM - donhuevo: circus sideshow freakish
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: yeah she is nasty
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Mike Glass: I dont get that. why get but implants like that.
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:43 AM - jbigler1986: brittany daniel is bomb
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:43 AM - donhuevo: I miss Brittany Murphy
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Mike Glass: yea what a suprise of her death
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: Brittany Daniel in Joe Dirt. OMG
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:45 AM - jbigler1986: On the actors note. I miss Chris Farley
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:45 AM - donhuevo: yep. him too
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:46 AM - jbigler1986: back to the hotties
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:46 AM - jbigler1986: very few women can pull off really short hair
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:47 AM - donhuevo: Erica Eleniak in Under Siege
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:47 AM - jbigler1986: here is a glorious booty Vida Guerra
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:47 AM - Mike Glass: oh your one of those.
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - jbigler1986: ?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Shank: sorry to dispute the hotties conversation but does anyone know of some good YouTube tutorials to teach programing and 3d printing
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Mike Glass: Seagal is like the worst actors alive
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - donhuevo: programming what?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - donhuevo: and ya he is
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Shank: robots
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM - donhuevo: even playing the same retired CIA/DEA/SEAL over and over again, he just can't seem to get it
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:49 AM - donhuevo: so you want tuts on arduino programming?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:50 AM - Shank: ya i watched jermey blums series
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:50 AM - jbigler1986: seagal is horrible
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:50 AM - donhuevo: is that Erica now?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:50 AM - Mike Glass: yea
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:51 AM - donhuevo: what the hell!
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:51 AM - Mike Glass: well 2010
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:51 AM - Mike Glass: Kirstie Alley syndrome
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:52 AM - jbigler1986: that's how don likes them. remember his stripper?
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:56 AM - donhuevo: haha... I'm running through all her google images and you had to look really hard to find that one fat one
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:56 AM - Mike Glass: was like the first one dude
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:56 AM - donhuevo: the one needle in an otherwise very nice haystack
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:57 AM - donhuevo:
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:58 AM - jbigler1986: meh. she is ok
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:58 AM - Mike Glass: that is just scary
Jun 30, 2015 at 9:58 AM - Mike Glass: the unibrow is a killer
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:02 AM - jbigler1986: i'm a big fan of the Jessica Simpson body type. Gotta have a little meat. Skin and bones no thanks
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:02 AM - donhuevo: she was another one hot wonder that pulled off short hair in a movie is all
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Mike Glass: Milla Jovovich now she can pull of short hair.
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:04 AM - donhuevo: Demi pulled off short hair in her day too
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:04 AM - donhuevo: saw something recently with Anne Hathaway with short hair that worked
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Mike Kelly: natalie portman wins that
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:04 AM - donhuevo: yum
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:05 AM - Mike Glass:
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: yeah she can pull it off
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:11 AM - donhuevo: Keira too...
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:11 AM - jbigler1986: not a fan
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:12 AM - donhuevo: I would never hold that against you jb
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:13 AM - jbigler1986: i wont cry if you do
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:15 AM - donhuevo: might have been Audrey that pulled it off first though...
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: may not be for work
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: 1
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: 2
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: 3
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:18 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:18 AM - jbigler1986: fail
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:18 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: sometimes i really worry
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: about
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: About?
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Mike Kelly: people mostly
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: did someone poop on your doorstep again?
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: Reminds me of two things, both mail service. One will send a bag of poop and another will send an envelope of glitter
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: Anonymously of course
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:28 AM - jbigler1986: add this as the return address
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:28 AM - jbigler1986: 20918 Bake Pkwy Suite 106, Lake Forest, CA 92630
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:30 AM - jbigler1986: I am going to take that V6 I got from you and turn down the fins 2mm, then it will be a direct replacement, that is except for the different thermistor it comes with. I will use the stock thermistor, I think it is a EPCOS, thermistor.I will also use the hex 30W heater in place of the V6 25W heater. JUST SOME THOUGHTS!
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: come one man
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Mike Kelly: where do people get the idea it's a 30W
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:33 AM - jbigler1986: no idea. and then to turn down the heatsink. really?
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: 25 days after asking for help what compels someone to come back to say the printer is garbage and they sold it
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: Why do you think i've been quiet in the forums lately
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: most people get burnt out after around 3-4 weeks
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:38 AM - Mike Kelly: the fact that you lasted this long is impressive
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:51 AM - donhuevo: although poop has it's uses, I'll take the glitter
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Mike Glass: Poopy glitter is cool
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:55 AM - donhuevo: it's funny what dogs will eat. That's how we learned my nephew was finally having sex. Found a rubber in the dog poop
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: that could be taken a very wrong way
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:56 AM - donhuevo: suppose so but we confirmed the dog got it out of the trash and had it as a snack
Jun 30, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Glass: haha, yea poor dog
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: well things got weird
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:01 AM - daniel871: Yeah I don't have a good follow-up comment to that.

 

Jun 30, 2015 at 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i haven't been as helpful on the forums lately either
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: marks keeping things afloat
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: to busy tearing my printer apart
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:02 AM - jbigler1986: if I could get a damn answer from robo i would have 1 printing all of the time
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Mike Glass: I will give you an answer JB
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: i see Harry is on
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:05 AM - daniel871: I don't suppose Robo would be willing to give me an RMega prototype on the stipulation that I post reviews and run jobs for them on it for a given amount of time? I can guarantee they'd get a lot of feedback for making it incompetent hobbyist resistant.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: good luck with that
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:05 AM - daniel871:
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: i can't even get a damn answer about buying a printer
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: no hobbiest would buy a mega
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Mike Glass: I would.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:06 AM - jbigler1986: i wouldn't say that
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:06 AM - daniel871: There are a lot of hobbyists with disposable income buying full-blown CNC mills.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:06 AM - daniel871: An RMega would be right up their alley.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:07 AM - jbigler1986: if i don't get an answer buy the end of this week it's official. i'm building one
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Glass: if it as an actual proven machine to my specs that is
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: JB i saw someone selling his complete kit for a herculien
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: he can't finish it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Glass: You gonna build an shperebot JB?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:08 AM - jbigler1986: no. no use for it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm. if you find a link or contact for him let me know
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Mike Glass: I thought he sold it already
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+SethMesser/posts/j3SPFd1TyGd?cfem=1
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Harry: Hey guys
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:11 AM - donhuevo: hi harry
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Glass: $1792.69 in parts..lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Glass: Jb you want spend that much?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Kelly: it's not a cheap printer to make
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Glass: My Bom I was around $1800 so pretty close
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - daniel871: 18K?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Glass: ?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - daniel871: Hah, edited.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Glass: naw your just on cracki
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Harry: JB we are waiting for the lead screws as I told you
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - jbigler1986: i would be fine with putting around $1400.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Harry: Hey Donhuevo
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Glass: offer him $1200 see what happens, you never know
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Kelly: you could offer that, he'd probably take it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: i know you are waiting for those. doesn't answer my question though
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Kelly: bugs me when people come in through the shop, i don't care who you are or where you're from, go to the front desk
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Harry: The one from your email this morning?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. which was basically the same as the original
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:15 AM - jbigler1986: and that i sent to Braydon like a month ago
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Harry: emailed you back
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:18 AM - daniel871: Hey Harry, I've got a question. Is it possible to order some stepper motor wires like what is apparently on an older version of the Robo than the ones currently sold? The extruder stepper on my robo has had the wires at the motor end work loose from the plug over the last few months and I need to replace that wire.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:18 AM - daniel871: It's the wire set with a white plug at the motor and a black plug at the controller.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: daniel just submit a replacement part request. if they won't just give you one straight up they'll sell you it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Mike Kelly: that's how they handle almost all replacement parts
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Harry: hmm
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Harry: We might have those i can check
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:19 AM - daniel871: Mainly asking in here if there would be a part number I should reference on the request.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:20 AM - daniel871: (and figure Harry would know)
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Harry: Its not a plug on the motor its wired straight into it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Harry: But we could send you a new motor
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Harry: Send a replacement part request and I'll have Brian get that sorted today hopefully
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Mike Kelly: daniel i'd just tell them it's the 6 pin connector for the nema 17 stepper motor
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Mike Kelly: if you want one with a connector instead of an integrated wiring
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Harry: We dont have any with a connector Mike
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure if you mean you don't have any spares but they are shipping with them in the printer
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Mike Kelly: brian probably knows better if they have any spare cables
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:24 AM - daniel871: I'll send in the request when I get home so I can put a picture of the cable I'm talking about on the request.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:24 AM - Harry: We dont have spare cables
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:24 AM - Harry: just send a request
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:25 AM - jbigler1986: gotta have ones with the connector. The extruder and x axis have the steppers with the connector
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:25 AM - jbigler1986: z axis is wired internally and not sure on the y
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Mike Kelly: y is probably internal as well
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Harry: Oh wait I misread what you said one second
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Harry: We can get one of those JB
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: they'd probably need to strip a stepper of the connector since they have a weird arrangement for replacement parts, thus it's probably easier just to send out a whole motor
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM - daniel871: Anybody see that kickstarter for the Gigabot with the bit about keeping the cat from getting inside and getting burned/pinched by the printer?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Harry: I didnt know you had a newer printer right now i thought u had the older ones from when it was all integrated
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Harry: Send us a replacement request
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Harry: well get that sorted today hopefully
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:27 AM - daniel871: Will do.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: there you go daniel
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:28 AM - jbigler1986: yeah they are not easy to find all in one piece
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:28 AM - jbigler1986: which is kinda weird bc i would think they get broken often
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm not sure what they'd even call them
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: me either. i tried forever last night
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: 6 pin nema 17 stepper motor connector is the best idea i can come up with
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: i did some sleuthing last night
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: $33 for a set of two from china
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/PHR-6/455-1162-ND/608604
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - jbigler1986: yes please
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: and some other dude in europe was selling them for like 6 euro
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: that's... too much
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - jbigler1986: trying to find the whole cable is not easy
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: I hate digikeys website
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SPH-002T-P0.5S/455-1127-1-ND/527358

Jun 30, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Mike Kelly: that's how you make one
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:32 AM - donhuevo: I found out the hard way how steep the crimping learning curve actually is

Jun 30, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Kelly: 5 cables for 10.66 with free shipping
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Kelly: you're welcome
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:35 AM - Mike Glass: How many do I need?

Jun 30, 2015 at 11:36 AM - jbigler1986: out of stock
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:37 AM - Mike Kelly: shit
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:39 AM - jbigler1986: good find otherwise
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:41 AM - daniel871: Is that website a pun on good luck actually buying it?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:41 AM - Mike Kelly: probably just some weird chinese translation
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish i knew why simplify3d was so bad at estimating times lately
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:43 AM - jbigler1986: mine has been as well
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:43 AM - jbigler1986: like an hour off of a 3 hour print
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Kelly: it said 1:30
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Kelly: it's been 1:45 and only 75% done
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:44 AM - Mike Kelly: ok seriously, what kind of person takes an 8 week old baby to the zoo
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - jbigler1986: i would
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - jbigler1986: why not?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - Mike Kelly: because what would the baby get out of it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - daniel871: Someone that wants to have plausible deniability when the kid gets eaten?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - jbigler1986: nothing. but i see nothing wrong with it
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i think they do have dingos there...
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM - daniel871: It's like how in Jurassic World the parents were trying to get rid of their kids.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:46 AM - daniel871: Or any of the Jurassic movies, really.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess i'd save the "first trip to the zoo" for when they're actually old enough to look at animals
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:46 AM - daniel871: (ever notice how all of the parents in the Jurassic movies are getting divorced)?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: i mean i get what ur saying. But I enjoy the zoo too
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i hear ya
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:49 AM - Mike Kelly: i just feel like my sister is trying way too hard to not let having a baby change her life
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:49 AM - daniel871: I'm not super bleeding-heart about it, but zoos always depress me.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:49 AM - Mike Glass: I took my baby to zoo when it was still in utero, is that wrong?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:49 AM - daniel871: You have a uterus?
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: as long as you didn't post a picture to facebook saying "Babies first trip to the zoo"
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: I have 3 of them at home Dan.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:51 AM - daniel871: I'd rather see videos of animals in the wild encountering a mirror and posing in front of it than go to a zoo.

Jun 30, 2015 at 11:54 AM - daniel871: I like the way the Printinz plate folks do business. Had someone from there send me an email the other day asking how my plate was working out, and when I told them how it worked for a little while then stopped went ahead and shipped me another one.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm a little late here, but crimping those little dupont connectors really tests the limits of my fine motor skills
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:55 AM - daniel871: I had enough trouble crimping the stud thermistor connectors, I can't imagine doing a good job of it with one like what's on the stepper.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Kelly: that's pretty sweet daniel
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah those mini jst are basically impossible for anyone with normal dexterity
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:55 AM - donhuevo: yep. I wasted so many of them until I figured out one little trick. take a pair of needle nose pliers and lightly squeeze the insulation arms so it sits still. then line up the crimpers and crimp
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AM - Mike Kelly: good idea
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.3dbenchy.com/stl-files-for-dual-and-multi-colour-3d-printing-available-soon/
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AM - daniel871: I used needle nose pliers for the whole thing. Then wrapped the wires and plastic with electrical tape to limit how much stress is put on them.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: right I pre-bend those little wings with my finger nails and go from there
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: Even then keeping the damn thing lined up on the anvil of the crimper is hard
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:57 AM - daniel871: Reminds me that I need to get some more clips to put that plate on with.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:58 AM - daniel871: Wish the little metal arms didn't interfere with the Y-axis travel, would make it easier to remove the plate and clean it between prints.
Jun 30, 2015 at 11:59 AM - Mike Kelly: they were trying to make the glass removable for a while but couldn't find a good enough connector
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:00 PM - daniel871: I mean for the Printinz, not the glass plate of the Robo.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:00 PM - daniel871: Would any of the Thingiverse clips work?
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: oh i see now
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:01 PM - daniel871: There are about four or five different ones. Guess what I really need to do is measure the gap and make one myself.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:02 PM - daniel871: When the new one comes in.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: there ya go
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:05 PM - jbigler1986: problem solved
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:05 PM - donhuevo: boom
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:06 PM - daniel871: Then upload it to Thingiverse for internet points.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:06 PM - donhuevo: #suckit clippy thing
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:06 PM - jbigler1986: lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:07 PM - daniel871: Need to make something similar to hold up the enclosure.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: If they ran the connector "through" the magnets apple would probably have sued
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: good ole apple
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:16 PM - jbigler1986: I like how harry didn't reply to my email until he saw i said something on here
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Harry: I hadnt had a chance to ask braydon, and right when you asked he walked in from a meeting actually
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Harry: Sorry about that JB

Jun 30, 2015 at 12:23 PM - Mike Kelly: i have one of them from a kit i got
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: i dunno
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: i figure the cheaper multi packs aren't real tool steel
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:25 PM - Stephen Capistron: and you can probably add $3-4 just because it says bosch
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:25 PM - donhuevo: even the non tool steel bits will strip a screw before the screw strips it

Jun 30, 2015 at 12:44 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: never did see shakes the clown.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: jb did they say if they'd give you a discount for not having that stuff?
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:47 PM - jbigler1986: nope. hell i even asked them if they could not assemble it and give me a price.
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: It's like pulling teeth
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:48 PM - Mike Kelly:
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: also told them they didn't have to include a hotend either
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:49 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: sweet shoes
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:49 PM - Mike Kelly: must be raining
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:56 PM - jbigler1986: I went to walmart the other day for the first time in like 3 months. I realized why i didn't go there. Never again
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: yup i haven't been there in years
Jun 30, 2015 at 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: better off for it
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:03 PM - jbigler1986: wow. weight limit reached
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:03 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:07 PM - daniel871: Still the best/worst one.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:08 PM - daniel871: Need some poultry for dinner but the only clothes available are some pajama pants. Screw it! Tuck the boobs in the waistband and go anyway.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:09 PM - Stephen Capistron: Please stop
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:09 PM - Stephen Capistron: you are making my eyes bleed
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:10 PM - jbigler1986: i only posted funny ones this time
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:10 PM - daniel871: Apparently there is an armless woman that qualified for a pilot's license.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:13 PM - daniel871: And could also kick my ass because she's also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:13 PM - daniel871: Hm.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:13 PM - daniel871: So much for feeling like I get anything done on a given day.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:15 PM - daniel871: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Cox
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: yeah that story is old
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: jeeze. where have u been
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:25 PM - daniel871: For a minute there I thought she was the armless woman that was denied service at McDonald's at the drive-thru a few years ago.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:27 PM - daniel871: http://consumerist.com/2007/07/11/lawsuits-armless-woman-refused-service-at-mcdonalds/
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:28 PM - daniel871: She popped up as trending on FB again, is why I'm even thinking about it.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:29 PM - daniel871: Well, her and all the crybaby government employees in the South that are quitting their jobs because gay people can get married now.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: i have no issues with it. if a man is happy with another man more power to them
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: same with a women
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: as long as they are not trying to hit on me i'm fine with it
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:30 PM - daniel871: I just think it's funny that someone with the kind of job that gives the kind of benefits a government job gives would quit over it.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:32 PM - daniel871: Stuff like this is pretty funny, too:
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:33 PM - daniel871: From some gimmick thing on the internet that's "Current events in videogames".
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:33 PM - daniel871: Needs to have Mario get arrested in front of the castle though.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:35 PM - Stephen Capistron: need to chamfer the ID on the heat break end of the ptfe tube on an e3d right?
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: no
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: just need to drill out the filament hole on gregs wade and counter bore the bottom a little
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:37 PM - daniel871: The chamfer goes on the input end, to make it easier to line up.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:37 PM - daniel871: Not the heatbreak end.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:37 PM - daniel871: Heatbreak end should be flush.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:37 PM - daniel871: If you have shaky hands or something.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: i didn't have the do that to the ptfe at all
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: it's not needed
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:41 PM - daniel871: Not needed, but only hurts things if you do it to the wrong end (like the heatbreak end, that's an inevitable clog right there)
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:42 PM - jbigler1986: yeah. i just cut it straight. then can stick it in either side.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:42 PM - jbigler1986: uhhhhhhhhhh
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:42 PM - daniel871: That's what she said?
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: didn't realized how that sounded until afterwards
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:44 PM - daniel871: It only really gets awkward if people start making jokes about certain object generators again.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:45 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'll be in business with this hot end now
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: I was getting a little too much heat creep up the heat break and the filament was getting all soft before it could get in there
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:47 PM - Stephen Capistron: Makes me want to mod the fan bracket to accept a fan with a higher cfm
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:47 PM - daniel871: Some people have done that.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:47 PM - jbigler1986: finally Stephen
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:48 PM - daniel871: I think there are some modified shrouds that taper down to the heat break.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:48 PM - jbigler1986: i really havent had any issues with my v6 that were not my own fault
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:49 PM - daniel871: Same here.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:49 PM - daniel871: May not know the exact reason, but I'm pretty sure it was something I did.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/alternative-um2-feeder-version-two
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: interesting
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:52 PM - daniel871: Semi-automatic spring tension.
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:52 PM - daniel871: ?
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:52 PM - daniel871: So that if the filament is inexplicably thicker the bearing will be pushed back a little?
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: just like gregs does. part of the reason why you use spring tension
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: here don https://www.youmagine.com/designs/smoothie-board just because
Jun 30, 2015 at 1:55 PM - Mike Glass: its really nice when they dont show the materials used. dumbasses.
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:05 PM - donhuevo: so I can print a fake one?
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:08 PM - Mike Glass: Anybody else get a card and stickers from 3d_hubs that have your name on them?
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:10 PM - daniel871: No.
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:10 PM - daniel871: What did you do?
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:10 PM - Mike Glass: nothin
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:12 PM - Mike Glass:
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: neat
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: have you printed anything for that yet?
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: no, you kidding, im in MT..lol
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Mike Kelly: i was gonna say i'm sure your market is... small
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:17 PM - Mike Glass: It will change this school year I have a feeling
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:18 PM - Mike Glass: Somebody asked about teaching some classes, so might look into that also.
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: I am not impressed with the maker geeks filament
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: this roll of abs has got air bubbles or water in it
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:25 PM - Stephen Capistron: You can watch it balloon up as it comes out the nozzle every now and again
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:37 PM - AxisLab:
Jun 30, 2015 at 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: well aren't you guys lucky!
Jun 30, 2015 at 3:00 PM - Mike Glass: yours are in the mail

Jun 30, 2015 at 6:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: A CFL draft is just bizarre
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:13 PM - Mike Kelly: yup i thought so too but w/e
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:13 PM - Mike Kelly: might be fun
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:18 PM - Stephen Capistron: I could see that being the case, know a lot less about the players so it is more random
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:19 PM - Mike Kelly: since i know dick all about NFL
Jun 30, 2015 at 6:19 PM - Mike Kelly: plus gives me something to do till CFB comes back

Jun 30, 2015 at 7:38 PM - jbigler1986: it's the mount and gregs combo piece
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:39 PM - jbigler1986: need to raise it like .02
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:40 PM - jbigler1986: u still printing the cnc parts
Jun 30, 2015 at 7:48 PM - jbigler1986: there we go. beautiful layers

 

Jul 1, 2015 3:14 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jul 1, 2015 3:16 AM - daniel871: How did the mount and Wade piece turn out?
Jul 1, 2015 3:17 AM - daniel871: Stream keeps failing on my internet connection.
Jul 1, 2015 3:19 AM - jbigler1986: Turned out great. Gotta remove some support
Jul 1, 2015 3:20 AM - daniel871: Cool.
Jul 1, 2015 3:20 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah ustream does that a lot for some reason
Jul 1, 2015 3:21 AM - daniel871: Plays ads just fine, then buffers stream until next ad.
Jul 1, 2015 4:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: Know what is the worst about being the first person into the office, days you have the wrong set of keys
Jul 1, 2015 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: That sucks
Jul 1, 2015 4:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: Yup. Oh well
Jul 1, 2015 4:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: And the parking lot is just far enough from the WiFi antenna that my phone wants to use it but the signal is just not robust enough
Jul 1, 2015 4:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: And the WiFi antenna on my laptop is even worse
Jul 1, 2015 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: uhhhh.. is this where the plastics anonymous groups meets?
Jul 1, 2015 5:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: Well in our case it isn't so anonymous

Jul 1, 2015 5:26 AM - jbigler1986: Sweet. Printer is messed up. No way to stop it at the moment. Woops
Jul 1, 2015 5:30 AM - jbigler1986: Son of a slut
Jul 1, 2015 5:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: I just got a cheap home automation outlet so I can shut down the printer from my phone remotely
Jul 1, 2015 5:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: You forget to setup remote desktop?
Jul 1, 2015 5:38 AM - jbigler1986: Yep. Fail
Jul 1, 2015 5:38 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah i was thinking about getting one of those
Jul 1, 2015 5:39 AM - jbigler1986: Gotta let it ride for 5 hours
Jul 1, 2015 5:40 AM - Stephen Capistron: or you could revisit octoprint with that Pi you have lying around
Jul 1, 2015 5:42 AM - jbigler1986: Meh. To much of a pain. Probably gonna install xbmc on it and use it on the living room tv
Jul 1, 2015 5:43 AM - Mike Kelly: 5am is not a time people are meant to be awake
Jul 1, 2015 5:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, what is going on?
Jul 1, 2015 5:49 AM - Mike Kelly: Just got to the airport. Flying to San Fran in an hour
Jul 1, 2015 5:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: ah
Jul 1, 2015 5:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: An IPA beer guy?
Jul 1, 2015 5:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: If so you got to try the Stone Brewing Enjoy by July 4th
Jul 1, 2015 5:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: It really is a tremendous beer
Jul 1, 2015 5:55 AM - daniel871: Wonder what happened to cause that, JB?
Jul 1, 2015 5:55 AM - daniel871: Looks like a clog or something.
Jul 1, 2015 5:55 AM - daniel871: (at least you won't come home to a huge bird nest of plastic)
Jul 1, 2015 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: Who knows what happened
Jul 1, 2015 6:00 AM - daniel871: Hm.
Jul 1, 2015 6:00 AM - daniel871: Looking over that Printinz Plate email from where they shipped another plate, they said they're sending the Zebra plate.
Jul 1, 2015 6:01 AM - jbigler1986: Probably at the extruder somewhere
Jul 1, 2015 6:29 AM - Mike Kelly: I do like IPA. I'll keep my eye out but I think we'll mostly be drinking local
Jul 1, 2015 6:31 AM - jbigler1986: Tons of great restaurants there.
Jul 1, 2015 6:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: My sister-in-law moved out there in february.
Jul 1, 2015 6:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: seems like it is like going back to college
Jul 1, 2015 6:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: we jokingly refer to it as never-never-land
Jul 1, 2015 6:56 AM - daniel871: Spit take of the morning.
Jul 1, 2015 7:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: There is no bridge there now you know
Jul 1, 2015 7:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: Only way across is a one car ferry
Jul 1, 2015 7:03 AM - Mike Kelly: ?
Jul 1, 2015 7:04 AM - daniel871: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chappaquiddick_incident
Jul 1, 2015 7:10 AM - daniel871: On another note, a "Lady and the Tramp" stamp:
Jul 1, 2015 7:18 AM - AxisLab: http://ultimaker.com/en/stories/view/16574-the-all-new-cura-with-all-new-features
Jul 1, 2015 7:22 AM - AxisLab: Looks like their locking it in pretty strong for just ultimakers though.... in the add new printer I don't see options for others.
Jul 1, 2015 7:24 AM - AxisLab: That's kind of BS... Oh well. Not sure how well it would still go up against the new S3D anyway.
Jul 1, 2015 7:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: it is still open source
Jul 1, 2015 7:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: you just might have to modify the print envelope dimensions and such
Jul 1, 2015 7:39 AM - daniel871: Hm.
Jul 1, 2015 7:39 AM - daniel871: Just got an email from Fandango about a giveaway contest for the $5k Makerbot if you buy Terminator tickets with Fandango VIP.
Jul 1, 2015 7:40 AM - daniel871: "Print your own Terminator!"
Jul 1, 2015 7:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: https://plus.google.com/115150406129882898848/posts/4PY77zE8eGF
Jul 1, 2015 7:41 AM - daniel871: Which version of the makerbot ballparks at about $5,000? Because they claim that's the value of the prize.
Jul 1, 2015 7:42 AM - daniel871: http://www.fandango.com/terminatorgenisys_173170/movieoverview
Jul 1, 2015 7:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: I dunno. The tall Z one?
Jul 1, 2015 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: They all suck
Jul 1, 2015 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: I would take one for free though
Jul 1, 2015 8:11 AM - daniel871: Worth taking in a prize if you're seeing the movie anyway?
Jul 1, 2015 8:16 AM - AxisLab: I'm still not sure about that even lol.
Jul 1, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Glass: Whud up Buttercups
Jul 1, 2015 8:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: Are you going to build me up?
Jul 1, 2015 8:23 AM - Mike Glass: hah
Jul 1, 2015 8:34 AM - Mike Glass: Someone want to help design the BAP, I have the frame done in SW.
Jul 1, 2015 8:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: What design you going with? Mendel, H-Bot, X-Y? ????
Jul 1, 2015 8:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: Belts or screws?
Jul 1, 2015 8:49 AM - Mike Glass: hmm maybe Eustathios
Jul 1, 2015 8:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: ok, so "simple" belt or screw setup
Jul 1, 2015 8:50 AM - Mike Glass: I want to use 12 mm rods
Jul 1, 2015 8:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: Hollow?
Jul 1, 2015 8:50 AM - Mike Glass: no
Jul 1, 2015 8:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: why not?
Jul 1, 2015 8:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: They are lighter
Jul 1, 2015 8:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: Could do them on the moving axis
Jul 1, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Glass: not as rigid for a 20" stretch
Jul 1, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Glass: I can get 12mm rod cheaper then anything right now.
Jul 1, 2015 8:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: ebay or local source?
Jul 1, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Glass: Amazon
Jul 1, 2015 8:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: that thomson stuff is crazy cheap huh
Jul 1, 2015 8:56 AM - Mike Glass: yeah it is
Jul 1, 2015 8:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: 20mm is a good price too

Jul 1, 2015 9:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: Just make a copy and modify the dimensions as needed
Jul 1, 2015 9:05 AM - Mike Glass: so painfully slow
Jul 1, 2015 9:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: There is a ton of detail in that thing
Jul 1, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: then it crashes..I have the steps files somewhere.
Jul 1, 2015 9:08 AM - Mike Glass: most of it will have to be redesigned because of the bigger rods
Jul 1, 2015 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: Print is looking great. Lol
Jul 1, 2015 10:07 AM - donhuevo: First of the month is like a spike in one temple and out the other
Jul 1, 2015 10:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: porque?
Jul 1, 2015 10:09 AM - donhuevo: I just have a bunch of month-end crap I have to get through. This was also quarter-end too
Jul 1, 2015 10:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: ah
Jul 1, 2015 10:11 AM - donhuevo: being a one-man IT show is a double-edged sword
Jul 1, 2015 10:21 AM - AxisLab: Whew! Just finished the final big piece. Can't believe I pulled this one off. http://imgur.com/a/36zmQ
Jul 1, 2015 10:21 AM - AxisLab: 168 hour print time right there at .1. And thats not including the 35 hour print failure that would put me over the 200 hour mark.

 

Jul 1, 2015 10:22 AM - daniel871: Does it have a compartment for slime to leak out of?
Jul 1, 2015 10:25 AM - AxisLab: We patch the leak with friction welding of course.
Jul 1, 2015 10:25 AM - donhuevo: very nice Axis!
Jul 1, 2015 10:26 AM - donhuevo: Once it's all together, I'm going to expect you to link some mp3's so we can hear it
Jul 1, 2015 10:26 AM - AxisLab: I'll get some video up for sure.
Jul 1, 2015 10:26 AM - donhuevo: so how have you been you bastard?
Jul 1, 2015 10:27 AM - AxisLab: Get drunk, rock the hell out, and smash it like a beast.
Jul 1, 2015 10:27 AM - AxisLab: Then cry, like a man.
Jul 1, 2015 10:27 AM - donhuevo: haha
Jul 1, 2015 10:27 AM - AxisLab: How it's done.
Jul 1, 2015 10:27 AM - AxisLab: Been good. Busy as crap.
Jul 1, 2015 10:28 AM - donhuevo: busy is good
Jul 1, 2015 10:28 AM - Mike Glass: I saw your video on the guitar, thats awesome
Jul 1, 2015 10:29 AM - donhuevo: how many machines do you have now?
Jul 1, 2015 10:29 AM - AxisLab: Thanks Mike. Number 6 just came in the mail yesterday.
Jul 1, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Glass: Now what did you get?
Jul 1, 2015 10:30 AM - AxisLab: Picked up a wanhao duplicator i3 for the early buy price of 375 shipped. Score.
Jul 1, 2015 10:31 AM - AxisLab: 2 robo's, 2 ultimaker2, one solidoodle 4, and the wanhao.
Jul 1, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Glass: hmm I wanno hoe too..lol
Jul 1, 2015 10:31 AM - AxisLab: Cost ya about the same
Jul 1, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Glass: looks like a nice one though
Jul 1, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Glass: you going to do a review?
Jul 1, 2015 10:33 AM - AxisLab: A big change from the crappy duplicator 4's. i'm actually really impressed.
Jul 1, 2015 10:33 AM - AxisLab: I made an unboxing yesterday, more reviews to come.
Jul 1, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Glass: shit $375 I would buy 2 if they are good.
Jul 1, 2015 10:34 AM - AxisLab: There up to 429 now. That was an early adopter price.
Jul 1, 2015 10:38 AM - jbigler1986: Hmmm. No Don? Must have gotten that strippers number
Jul 1, 2015 10:38 AM - donhuevo: I'm here
Jul 1, 2015 10:38 AM - donhuevo: dick
Jul 1, 2015 10:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.com/diy-kit/folger-tech < I know Printed kind of wants to buy one of the kits to see what they are like
Jul 1, 2015 10:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: There are a lot of kits / suppliers out of china
Jul 1, 2015 10:41 AM - AxisLab: Yeah, in the $200 range, that's almost worth it just for all the spare parts. Nice.
Jul 1, 2015 10:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: Part quality might not be great, but it will get your machine running again
Jul 1, 2015 10:44 AM - donhuevo: took a peek at the i3 and it looks well-built
Jul 1, 2015 10:48 AM - AxisLab: It's actually solid as hell. I used a duplicator 4 before, felt like I would break the damn thing, just felt flimsy. This one is much different. I'm impressed. They have a winner on their hands I think.
Jul 1, 2015 10:48 AM - AxisLab: But then again, ask me in a month. I just got it.
Jul 1, 2015 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: Sorry don.
Jul 1, 2015 10:51 AM - donhuevo: that's alright jb, the moment I called you a dick, I felt better.
Jul 1, 2015 10:51 AM - donhuevo: they used aluminum pillow blocks for the linear bearings?
Jul 1, 2015 10:54 AM - donhuevo: I like that they centered the x belt in between the two x rails
Jul 1, 2015 10:54 AM - AxisLab: Yes on the blocks.
Jul 1, 2015 10:54 AM - donhuevo: always bugged me that robo put it outside the rods
Jul 1, 2015 11:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: It is ok outside the rods, because you are not pushing against gravity so the load is really low
Jul 1, 2015 11:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: I agree that centered is generally better though
Jul 1, 2015 11:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.igus.com/wpck/6130/The_2_1_Rule_and_How_to_Define_Fixed_and_Floating_Bearings?C=US&L=en
Jul 1, 2015 11:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: The carriage is probably in violation of the 2:1 rule
Jul 1, 2015 11:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: Bearings are only 25mm center to center and the rods are some 83mm apart
Jul 1, 2015 11:08 AM - donhuevo: the problem with the x belt on the robo is the tighter you make it (and you want it tight), it squeezes the idler ends in the back but wants to open them on the front rod
Jul 1, 2015 11:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: Could put a dumby belt across the front as a band-aid
Jul 1, 2015 11:10 AM - donhuevo: yep that's one solution. I moved mine under so I could at least get half of it in between the rods
Jul 1, 2015 11:10 AM - Mike Glass: Axis have you printed on it yet?
Jul 1, 2015 11:11 AM - donhuevo: not the greatest angle but...
Jul 1, 2015 11:11 AM - AxisLab: It's printing right now, yeah.
Jul 1, 2015 11:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: If you had a 40mm drive gear you could straddle the hotend
Jul 1, 2015 11:13 AM - donhuevo: or 3 pulleys instead of one
Jul 1, 2015 11:15 AM - AxisLab: Here's the first test print Mike. I like cookie cutters as test prints, There more fun than cubes. http://imgur.com/a/B3AFr
Jul 1, 2015 11:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: https://sdp-si.com/eStore/Catalog/PartNumber/A 6A51M068NF0606
Jul 1, 2015 11:17 AM - Mike Glass: haha nice, how are the edges, no ringing?
Jul 1, 2015 11:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: https://sdp-si.com/eStore/Catalog/PartNumber/A 6A51M060DF0606 < has two flanges to keep the belt on
Jul 1, 2015 11:19 AM - donhuevo: not to change the subject but to go back to an earlier one for just a sec... I want Cura to update their Repetier plug-in damnit.
Jul 1, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: why not just use Cura?
Jul 1, 2015 11:21 AM - donhuevo: it's too user-friendly for me I guess. Just feel like I have more control with repetier although I'm sure that's just an illusion
Jul 1, 2015 11:21 AM - AxisLab: There's some ringing for sure, but on the wanhao google group, there are a dozen quick mods people are doing. For out of the box, it's a hell of a good start.
Jul 1, 2015 11:22 AM - donhuevo: what software are you using to run it?
Jul 1, 2015 11:22 AM - AxisLab: S3D
Jul 1, 2015 11:22 AM - donhuevo: can you slow the outside perimeter in that?
Jul 1, 2015 11:22 AM - Mike Glass: hell yeah
Jul 1, 2015 11:22 AM - donhuevo: also tighten your belts
Jul 1, 2015 11:24 AM - AxisLab: It's not enough ringing to be remotely close to a problem, I can just tell it's there.
Jul 1, 2015 11:24 AM - donhuevo: but yeah... an impressive first print
Jul 1, 2015 11:25 AM - Mike Glass: comes with an lcd right?
Jul 1, 2015 11:29 AM - Mike Glass: wonder what the fastest you could print with it.
Jul 1, 2015 11:29 AM - AxisLab: Yes, but the micro SD is a pain in the butt. I ordered an adapter to use full size SD instead of fighting that little bastard with my fingernail each time.
Jul 1, 2015 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: They should just use a normal usb drive for crying out loud
Jul 1, 2015 11:33 AM - donhuevo: just found MK's birthday present... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:63902
Jul 1, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: haha
Jul 1, 2015 11:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: You can get his address off 3dhubs ...
Jul 1, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Glass: lets submit those on his 3dhubs and see if he will print them..lol
Jul 1, 2015 11:43 AM - donhuevo: he'd blame me
Jul 1, 2015 11:56 AM - jbigler1986: Haha. Do it
Jul 1, 2015 11:56 AM - donhuevo: we need someone local to him though, right?
Jul 1, 2015 11:57 AM - jbigler1986: No. He can ship it
Jul 1, 2015 11:58 AM - jbigler1986: If he set it up that way
Jul 1, 2015 12:00 PM - jbigler1986: Boreing out the 5mm drive gear and trying it out tonight.
Jul 1, 2015 12:04 PM - donhuevo: cool
Jul 1, 2015 12:05 PM - donhuevo: the yoda cufflink isn't manifold. I hate when that happens
Jul 1, 2015 12:07 PM - Stephen Capistron: also looks pretty low poly
Jul 1, 2015 12:08 PM - donhuevo: still, works for joke purposes
Jul 1, 2015 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: That it does. Or get a regular yoda
Jul 1, 2015 12:20 PM - donhuevo: I'll poke around and see what other yoda head options there are
Jul 1, 2015 12:20 PM - donhuevo: who knows, maybe there's a yoda head egg cup sculpture
Jul 1, 2015 12:22 PM - Stephen Capistron: I was thinking someone needs to cut the parts such that it is hard to tell what it is and have him print them
Jul 1, 2015 12:22 PM - donhuevo: that would be funny too
Jul 1, 2015 12:27 PM - jbigler1986: Don did you see how amazing my print turned out today?
Jul 1, 2015 12:27 PM - donhuevo: I did not
Jul 1, 2015 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jul 1, 2015 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: lol
Jul 1, 2015 12:31 PM - donhuevo: wow!
Jul 1, 2015 12:31 PM - jbigler1986: Beautiful right?
Jul 1, 2015 12:31 PM - donhuevo: impressive

 

Jul 1, 2015 12:31 PM - donhuevo: some very very clear filament
Jul 1, 2015 12:31 PM - jbigler1986: Its home made
Jul 1, 2015 12:32 PM - donhuevo: so which extruder did that?
Jul 1, 2015 12:32 PM - jbigler1986: Gregs wade. No clue why. Will find out when i get home
Jul 1, 2015 12:32 PM - jbigler1986: Was a 6 hour print and failed like 20 minutes into it
Jul 1, 2015 12:33 PM - donhuevo: maybe a tangle?
Jul 1, 2015 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: Possible. We shall see. I would rather that than a huge ball of spaghetti
Jul 1, 2015 12:34 PM - donhuevo: I remember when the dude had that spool holder that mounted in the lid's slit and then it tangled and pulled the spool down onto the bed and shattered it
Jul 1, 2015 12:35 PM - jbigler1986: I had similar happen. Spool holder luckily just bowed really bad. Thermistor wire and extruder wires all snapped though
Jul 1, 2015 12:36 PM - jbigler1986: And bent the hell out of my hex heatbreak
Jul 1, 2015 12:37 PM - donhuevo: ya, it was something like this... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:216117
Jul 1, 2015 12:39 PM - toy: netfabb model repair cloud working for u guys?
Jul 1, 2015 12:40 PM - jbigler1986: Mine was a little different.
Jul 1, 2015 12:40 PM - jbigler1986: Havent tried it toy
Jul 1, 2015 12:42 PM - donhuevo: seems like it's failing on the upload
Jul 1, 2015 1:13 PM - Bill Monroe: ahh that was a nice nap what's the latest?
Jul 1, 2015 1:21 PM - jim3Dbot: Printed same holders donh, fell off after 15min into print, lucky the bed was towards the rear, spool shot across the floor, scaring the dog......no damage...printed offset holders next....
Jul 1, 2015 1:35 PM - daniel871: My steppers and MK8 drive gear have come in. So hopefully I'll have something up and running again by tomorrow evening.
Jul 1, 2015 2:07 PM - donhuevo: ya jim, it didn't happen to me but the guy it did happen to was heartbroken. It was also back when robo was taking forever getting parts out
Jul 1, 2015 2:25 PM - toy: thx, i wanted to make sure it wasnt me having problems with netfabb cloud service
Jul 1, 2015 2:28 PM - donhuevo: no problem
Jul 1, 2015 2:30 PM - jbigler1986: Looks like the spring tension bolts were not tight enough. Filament wasnt chewed threw which is bery surprising
Jul 1, 2015 2:30 PM - jbigler1986: Very*
Jul 1, 2015 2:33 PM - donhuevo: yep surprising.
Jul 1, 2015 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: There is a lot of material in the hobb teeth
Jul 1, 2015 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: I will take a pic in a few
Jul 1, 2015 2:40 PM - donhuevo: from a prior jam maybe?
Jul 1, 2015 2:41 PM - donhuevo: I say it all the time... brush your hob's teeth after every meal
Jul 1, 2015 2:45 PM - jbigler1986: I think it wasnt tight enough causing it to slip. Slowly filling the teeth full
Jul 1, 2015 2:45 PM - jbigler1986: Or to tight?
Jul 1, 2015 2:46 PM - donhuevo: I'm shrugging
Jul 1, 2015 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: Lol.
Jul 1, 2015 2:49 PM - daniel871: Just be glad you weren't using a woodfill.
Jul 1, 2015 2:51 PM - donhuevo: sawdust
Jul 1, 2015 2:51 PM - jbigler1986: New cura has wire printing mode. Interesting
Jul 1, 2015 2:54 PM - donhuevo: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/donhuevo-s-robo3d
Jul 1, 2015 2:55 PM - donhuevo: printing this hollow because, I don't know why... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:28469
Jul 1, 2015 2:56 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Jul 1, 2015 2:58 PM - Stephen Capistron: looks like something you should drill a small hole in and put a firecracker inside
Jul 1, 2015 2:59 PM - donhuevo: it is almost the 4th
Jul 1, 2015 2:59 PM - donhuevo: I need to find some shit to blow up
Jul 1, 2015 3:00 PM - donhuevo: if this turns out crappy, it'll be on the list.
Jul 1, 2015 3:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: Print a series of squinty heads at different perimeter counts. See which one gives the most impressive pop
Jul 1, 2015 3:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: because, you know, science
Jul 1, 2015 3:02 PM - donhuevo: yes, he'll be donating his head to science
Jul 1, 2015 3:02 PM - Stephen Capistron: I was already to complain about simplify and the volcano and just as I sat down to type It dawned on me that I forgot to put a fan on top of the RAMPS. The extruder driver was crazy hot
Jul 1, 2015 3:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: I wish the arduino could push back a simple error for something like that. "E axis over temp"
Jul 1, 2015 3:04 PM - donhuevo: there may be some extra pins. just need thermistors for each stepper driver
Jul 1, 2015 3:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: That is a lot of effort to prevent myself from being an idiot
Jul 1, 2015 3:12 PM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. Ramps overheating was an issue i had for like a month. I was sure the fan was working but was to lazy to actually check. Nope. It was plugged in backwards
Jul 1, 2015 3:12 PM - donhuevo: yep
Jul 1, 2015 3:13 PM - jbigler1986: Should probably add a second fan to it
Jul 1, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: with the robo feet and no bottom cover, it's easy to stick your fingers under there and let the fan bite you
Jul 1, 2015 3:13 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i didnt have feet at the time. Also the bottom cover was on
Jul 1, 2015 3:14 PM - jbigler1986: Anyone tried the new cura yet?
Jul 1, 2015 3:14 PM - donhuevo: yep, I'm running topless and bottomless
Jul 1, 2015 3:14 PM - donhuevo: and get that filthy picture out of your head jb
Jul 1, 2015 3:14 PM - jbigler1986: It wasnt actually
Jul 1, 2015 3:15 PM - donhuevo: I haven't tried the new Cura yet. d/l ing now
Jul 1, 2015 3:16 PM - Stephen Capistron: I was topless and bottomless for a while
Jul 1, 2015 3:16 PM - Stephen Capistron: Well still am, but I moved the power supply and arduino out from underneath
Jul 1, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: Let me know how support works out on it don
Jul 1, 2015 3:18 PM - donhuevo: could be a while. I'm in no rush to actually use it
Jul 1, 2015 3:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: Should I be a fatty tonight and get pizza or Chinese food? Wife is out of town ...
Jul 1, 2015 3:20 PM - jbigler1986: Chinese
Jul 1, 2015 3:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: Don, you might like craftware
Jul 1, 2015 3:21 PM - donhuevo: I may have grabbed an early version of that.
Jul 1, 2015 3:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: I couldn't get it to detect the robo, but there are a ton of settings in there and the support it pretty easy to remove
Jul 1, 2015 3:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: not as easy as S3D
Jul 1, 2015 3:24 PM - donhuevo: I try to avoid anything that requires support. Anything I'm designing, I plan on no support
Jul 1, 2015 3:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: but what about yoda's ears
Jul 1, 2015 3:30 PM - donhuevo: NEVER
Jul 1, 2015 3:47 PM - donhuevo: sorry about yelling... the pharmacy software we use always throws the caps lock on
Jul 1, 2015 4:11 PM - Stephen Capistron: eh, sometimes when I'm doing 2D CAD work I'll forget I turned caps lock on
Jul 1, 2015 4:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: A thunderstrom this morning tripped one of the GFCI outlets in my basement this morning and now I don't have any cold beer
Jul 1, 2015 4:13 PM - donhuevo: if the fridge is the only thing plugged into that and it also blocks people from plugging something else in, you can swap it for a regular receptacle
Jul 1, 2015 4:18 PM - Stephen Capistron: It is a daisy chain of outlets that wrap around the basement
Jul 1, 2015 4:19 PM - Stephen Capistron: each outlet alternates which circuit it is on
Jul 1, 2015 4:19 PM - donhuevo: well that changes things
Jul 1, 2015 4:20 PM - donhuevo: so fed by 12-3?
Jul 1, 2015 4:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: The GFCI outlet that tripped was actually on the other side of the basement (My basement is only about 20x24)
Jul 1, 2015 4:20 PM - donhuevo: one outlet black & white, the next red and white?
Jul 1, 2015 4:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: yup
Jul 1, 2015 4:21 PM - donhuevo: so the neutral is actually capable of carrying twice what it should
Jul 1, 2015 4:21 PM - donhuevo: If I was still inspecting, I'd have to fail that
Jul 1, 2015 4:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: The guy we bought the house from was an electrician, but I think he did all his work before standard codes were established
Jul 1, 2015 4:23 PM - donhuevo: well, just so you know the final leg of your neutral back to the panel could potentially reach 40A since I'm guessing the black is on a 20A and the red is also on a 20A
Jul 1, 2015 4:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: Probably 15s, but point taken
Jul 1, 2015 4:24 PM - Bill Monroe: Amps is gud <primal grunt>
Jul 1, 2015 4:25 PM - donhuevo: oh and depending on which buses the breakers are on, you have 240V potential in each of those boxes
Jul 1, 2015 4:26 PM - donhuevo: I almost want to stop squinty dude here and maybe use what's printed to serve shrimp
Jul 1, 2015 4:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: maybe a hot sauce cup
Jul 1, 2015 4:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: or wasabi bowl
Jul 1, 2015 4:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: something that kind of goes with a squinty face
Jul 1, 2015 4:31 PM - donhuevo: that works too. Shrimp would look like brains though
Jul 1, 2015 4:38 PM - Stephen Capistron: good call
Jul 1, 2015 4:38 PM - donhuevo: maybe pre-dress them with a little cocktail sauce
Jul 1, 2015 4:39 PM - donhuevo: alrighty... so what's the cheapest food-safe, dishwasher-safe filament?
Jul 1, 2015 4:39 PM - Stephen Capistron: serve with fava beans and a nice chianti
Jul 1, 2015 4:39 PM - donhuevo: haha!

 

Jul 1, 2015 4:39 PM - Stephen Capistron: t glase
Jul 1, 2015 4:40 PM - donhuevo: never played with it, but it might be time to
Jul 1, 2015 5:01 PM - jim3Dbot: The circuit is probably OK, If the red is on one bus & the black is on the other bus, then the nuetral will carry only 15/20amps since the two black & red are 180 degress out of phase. But the voltage between red & blk will be 240vac. That won't be a problem since red & blk will not be on the same outlet..
Jul 1, 2015 5:07 PM - donhuevo: I think I'd be ok with it if the wire was 12ga and the breakers were 15A
Jul 1, 2015 5:08 PM - jim3Dbot: Yep, 14awg with 20amp would be a bummer.......
Jul 1, 2015 5:11 PM - jbigler1986: Ok so it was to tight. The filament was getting cut into a little
Jul 1, 2015 5:12 PM - donhuevo: hmmm
Jul 1, 2015 5:13 PM - donhuevo: squinty has about 15 layers left. starting to get a little rough without support
Jul 1, 2015 5:16 PM - donhuevo: I'm at the very end of this roll too and my bowden tube is getting really angry at how curly the filament is
Jul 1, 2015 5:23 PM - jim3Dbot: How's the Squint???
Jul 1, 2015 5:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: Need a filament warmer / ironer to work out the kinks
Jul 1, 2015 5:24 PM - donhuevo: I'll take a pic...
Jul 1, 2015 5:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: Pass the filament under the bed and then into the extruder
Jul 1, 2015 5:26 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmmm
Jul 1, 2015 5:26 PM - donhuevo: he actually looks better than this...
Jul 1, 2015 5:27 PM - jim3Dbot: Squint is worth a Squat.....Nice
Jul 1, 2015 5:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: I know i'm bound to regret taking a low res picture some day, but I leave my phone on WVGA level resolution most of the time so pictures are more web friendly
Jul 1, 2015 5:28 PM - donhuevo: hmmm. hint taken
Jul 1, 2015 5:29 PM - Stephen Capistron: Better yet setup a "second" extruder block with heat break and no nozzle and run the filament through that before the extruder
Jul 1, 2015 5:29 PM - Stephen Capistron: Can set the temp for like 30-40 for PLA and crank it to 60 or something for ABS
Jul 1, 2015 5:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: Might need something complicated like, iron / dekink and then pass it infront of a fan so it has cooled a bit before the teeth on the drive gear
Jul 1, 2015 5:38 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 1, 2015 5:38 PM - donhuevo: iphone but large thumbnail chosen as the size in imgur
Jul 1, 2015 5:40 PM - jbigler1986: Apple. Never
Jul 1, 2015 5:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: I think it needs a firecracker inside
Jul 1, 2015 5:40 PM - jbigler1986: M80?
Jul 1, 2015 5:43 PM - donhuevo: the trick would be to drop the m80 in with a remote detonation device while it's printing before it closes up
Jul 1, 2015 5:48 PM - Stephen Capistron: But leave a tiny hole for a wick? And hope the wick doesn't ignite from the nozzle?
Jul 1, 2015 5:49 PM - donhuevo: should be able to feed the wick down thru a nostril
Jul 1, 2015 5:50 PM - jbigler1986: Wick doesnt need to be on the top
Jul 1, 2015 7:24 PM - daniel871: Well, case is off. Modified dual fan and direct drive assembly mounted with geared stepper. Just need the mk7 drive gear to come in so I can drill it to 6mm, mount it, then figure out the extruder settings for the firmware.
Jul 1, 2015 7:26 PM - jbigler1986: WHICH ONE DID YOU GO WITH
Jul 1, 2015 7:27 PM - jbigler1986: sorry about caps. i was sending gcode
Jul 1, 2015 7:27 PM - daniel871: The 5.18:1 geared stepper on Amazon.
Jul 1, 2015 7:27 PM - jbigler1986: extruder
Jul 1, 2015 7:27 PM - jbigler1986: which extruder
Jul 1, 2015 7:29 PM - daniel871: The e3d one on Thingiverse that can use geared or non geared steppers.
Jul 1, 2015 7:30 PM - daniel871: But with a dual volcano fan mount instead of the v6 one it had.
Jul 1, 2015 7:30 PM - jbigler1986: link?
Jul 1, 2015 7:30 PM - jbigler1986: there are tons out there
Jul 1, 2015 7:31 PM - daniel871: Hang on. Its the one without much adjustment in it.
Jul 1, 2015 7:31 PM - jbigler1986: still no clue. i have looked at hundreds and probably printed 10 or more
Jul 1, 2015 7:31 PM - jbigler1986: printing another one right now actually. lol
Jul 1, 2015 7:32 PM - Mike Glass: Heyo
Jul 1, 2015 7:33 PM - jbigler1986: what's up Mike
Jul 1, 2015 7:33 PM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:519320
Jul 1, 2015 7:34 PM - Mike Glass: just working on some wedding gifts for an order. finally not hot in the shop.
Jul 1, 2015 7:36 PM - daniel871: Wish that Tatsu v2 6mm bore gear was available.
Jul 1, 2015 7:36 PM - jbigler1986: i know
Jul 1, 2015 7:40 PM - jbigler1986: just use a drill press and vise
Jul 1, 2015 7:42 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jul 1, 2015 7:43 PM - daniel871: I will once it comes in.
Jul 1, 2015 7:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: The trick to keep it on center is to put the work piece in the drill and the bit in the vice
Jul 1, 2015 8:03 PM - daniel871: Oh! Tatsu is back in stock!
Jul 1, 2015 8:07 PM - daniel871: http://deezmaker.com/store/#!/Tatsu-v2-Drive-Gear-Hobbed-Filament-Drive-Gear/p/24043350/category=0
Jul 1, 2015 8:07 PM - daniel871: 6mm option

 

Jul 1, 2015 10:09 PM - Bradf80: Anyone know how to print from SD card with Simplify 3d? I saved it to the SD card but I'm having trouble figuring out how to print from it.
Jul 1, 2015 10:57 PM - Bradf80: Figured it out. Have to print from Machine Control Panel to print from SD
Jul 2, 2015 4:29 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jul 2, 2015 4:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: morning
Jul 2, 2015 4:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: Why are you guys so hot on the Tatsu?
Jul 2, 2015 4:38 AM - jbigler1986: Its at 6mm already. Im not buying it bc the price is crazy
Jul 2, 2015 4:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: Yeah $25 it kind of nuts
Jul 2, 2015 4:39 AM - jbigler1986: If it was $10 i would
Jul 2, 2015 4:40 AM - jbigler1986: Looks mean though
Jul 2, 2015 4:41 AM - daniel871: Someone else needs to make some at 6mm bore to compete with them.
Jul 2, 2015 4:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'll start buying twelve<whatever it is> and start drilling them out and reselling for double
Jul 2, 2015 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: do it
Jul 2, 2015 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: buy the ones from twelvepro
Jul 2, 2015 4:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: I love Printed's cartoon with the dude holding the wrench looking at the robo all puzzled
Jul 2, 2015 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: his site looks sooooooo much better
Jul 2, 2015 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: that is funny
Jul 2, 2015 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: his main picture is from the robo though
Jul 2, 2015 4:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: I think someone else actually made that if you scroll to the bottom
Jul 2, 2015 4:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: It is funny because it is true
Jul 2, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: Looks like Harry built the site for him
Jul 2, 2015 4:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: yup
Jul 2, 2015 4:59 AM - jbigler1986: it's just so easy to build a site now and he pretends like he is god
Jul 2, 2015 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: https://themes.shopify.com/themes/retina/styles/austin
Jul 2, 2015 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: bam. literally just install that script and then edit what you want if needed.
Jul 2, 2015 5:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: Hopefully he doesn't charge much
Jul 2, 2015 5:02 AM - daniel871: I just got a redirect loop error on Chrome trying to go to PrintedSolid.
Jul 2, 2015 5:02 AM - jbigler1986: hope not
Jul 2, 2015 5:03 AM - daniel871: Tried again and it loaded. Weird.
Jul 2, 2015 5:03 AM - daniel871: Hm. Looks like the used printers for sale page is gone.
Jul 2, 2015 5:06 AM - daniel871: And the Checkout with Amazon button is gone.
Jul 2, 2015 5:06 AM - daniel871: Paypal button is there, but no Amazon. That's dumb.
Jul 2, 2015 5:07 AM - jbigler1986: better add that
Jul 2, 2015 5:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: Amazon might take a big cut
Jul 2, 2015 5:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: relative to paypal
Jul 2, 2015 5:08 AM - jbigler1986: doubt it
Jul 2, 2015 5:08 AM - jbigler1986: but maybe
Jul 2, 2015 5:10 AM - jbigler1986: paypal was probably built in but amazon is probably to much work for harry
Jul 2, 2015 5:10 AM - daniel871: https://payments.amazon.com/help/201212280
Jul 2, 2015 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: 59 cents per $10
Jul 2, 2015 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: wonder what paypal is
Jul 2, 2015 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: wait. first $10 is 59 cents. then 29 cents for every other $10
Jul 2, 2015 5:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: Paypal appears to be exactly the same
Jul 2, 2015 5:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: Right, think of it as the first $10 is at 6% and anything after is at 3%
Jul 2, 2015 5:14 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i bet harry just hasn't figured it out yet
Jul 2, 2015 5:15 AM - daniel871: The actual tools page makes it look fairly easy to implement. https://payments.amazon.com/merchant/tools
Jul 2, 2015 5:15 AM - jbigler1986: sure it is. just install the plugin and change a few settings
Jul 2, 2015 5:16 AM - daniel871: https://payments.amazon.com/documentation/lpwa/201749840#201749840
Jul 2, 2015 5:17 AM - daniel871: Probably a lot of "I'm not reading all that to make sure I do it right, so I'm not doing it"
Jul 2, 2015 5:17 AM - jbigler1986: may not be a plugin for shopify
Jul 2, 2015 5:17 AM - jbigler1986: https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/shopify-discussion/t/amazon-payments-106266
Jul 2, 2015 5:17 AM - jbigler1986: that was from 2 years ago though
Jul 2, 2015 5:18 AM - jbigler1986: as of 3 months ago it still wasn't added
Jul 2, 2015 5:18 AM - jbigler1986: should have checked that before using shopify
Jul 2, 2015 5:18 AM - daniel871: https://www.cloudpipes.com/integrations/amazon-payments/shopify
Jul 2, 2015 5:19 AM - daniel871: Weird website altogether there though.
Jul 2, 2015 5:20 AM - jbigler1986: shopify was probably the easiest for harry to get runnnig
Jul 2, 2015 5:20 AM - daniel871: Probably, my mom doesn't know the first bit of HTML coding, but got a site running with Shopify by herself to sell her crafts and stuff.
Jul 2, 2015 5:21 AM - jbigler1986: yep. so simple now
Jul 2, 2015 5:22 AM - jbigler1986: i was going to get a degree in web design a while ago. I went for a year until life happened.
Jul 2, 2015 5:23 AM - daniel871: Funny thing about web design is that now there are all these SDK website backends now that automate things for people.
Jul 2, 2015 5:24 AM - daniel871: Remember DRUPAL and other things like it? Just load it up to a hosting space with a MySQL database for it to work with and you were ready to go.
Jul 2, 2015 5:24 AM - daniel871: Kind of like how Wordpress blog sites work now.
Jul 2, 2015 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: yep. it's so simple now. I like to html and php edit stuff. it's relaxing
Jul 2, 2015 5:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: Man I feel old. The last time I did any website stuff i had learned some dreamweaver, flash, and html and everything was just loaded up to a directory
Jul 2, 2015 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: i used wordpress for the site i posted yesterday
Jul 2, 2015 5:26 AM - jbigler1986: that's the way i like to do it stephen
Jul 2, 2015 5:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: That was 12+ years ago
Jul 2, 2015 5:29 AM - jbigler1986: i install XAMPP every once in a while just to mess around
Jul 2, 2015 5:30 AM - jbigler1986: I have like 5 domain names that i bought over the last 8 years. i don't even remember all of the actual domains
Jul 2, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: funny how people think websites are so complicated. it's just a file inside a folder inside of another folder
Jul 2, 2015 5:33 AM - jbigler1986: i also hate databases. they are a pain in the ass sometimes
Jul 2, 2015 5:34 AM - daniel871: Hm.
Jul 2, 2015 5:35 AM - daniel871: Not sure what whoever came up with that was thinking.
Jul 2, 2015 5:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: So today is going to be my last day at work
Jul 2, 2015 5:35 AM - jbigler1986: need to print a few cubes with different extrusion multipliers. needs turned down a tiny bit
Jul 2, 2015 5:36 AM - daniel871: Are you going to accomplish anything or just ride the clock?
Jul 2, 2015 5:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: I do have one meeting today
Jul 2, 2015 5:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: Going to archive some files
Jul 2, 2015 5:38 AM - daniel871: I just realized I didn't drill out the direct drive filament guide hole so that the PTFE tubing would go up against the drive gear. Argh.
Jul 2, 2015 5:38 AM - daniel871: Have to take it apart again, drill it and re-mount everything.
Jul 2, 2015 5:38 AM - daniel871: Not a huge deal since I'm waiting on a drive gear to also drill out, but still.
Jul 2, 2015 5:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: With my spare time I think I might make up a hotend mount so the screws at least face forward
Jul 2, 2015 5:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: Whether it be the jam screw style that is currently used or actually groove mount the thing is TBD
Jul 2, 2015 5:41 AM - jbigler1986: i always edit the extruders before i print them to allow the ptfe tube. cleaner look
Jul 2, 2015 5:42 AM - jbigler1986: tinkercad makes quick work of it
Jul 2, 2015 5:43 AM - jbigler1986: today is my friday. heck yeah
Jul 2, 2015 5:43 AM - daniel871: It has a clearance counterbore in the bottom already, I just want to have the PTFE tube there for if I ever get around to ninjaflex experimenting.
Jul 2, 2015 5:44 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i don't have to worry about the counterbore bc my bodwen adapter is reversed
Jul 2, 2015 5:44 AM - daniel871: ?
Jul 2, 2015 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: Yeah, I just drill that out. Simplify adds support in that hole anyhow
Jul 2, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 2, 2015 5:46 AM - daniel871: That seems like it could cause problems with disassembly.
Jul 2, 2015 5:46 AM - jbigler1986: ?
Jul 2, 2015 5:46 AM - daniel871: How is that attached to the heatsink/break?
Jul 2, 2015 5:46 AM - daniel871: Oh wait, Bowden, n/m.
Jul 2, 2015 5:46 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jul 2, 2015 5:47 AM - jbigler1986: yeah it's on the coldend
Jul 2, 2015 5:47 AM - daniel871: Man, the top cover and enclosure looks so sad sitting on the floor while the Robo's guts are all exposed.
Jul 2, 2015 5:48 AM - jbigler1986: i actually like it with the cover off
Jul 2, 2015 5:48 AM - daniel871: That's true for a lot of things.

 

Jul 2, 2015 5:48 AM - jbigler1986: just haven't thought of a easy way to stabilize the smooth rods
Jul 2, 2015 5:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: I got the cover off and the electronics on the side
Jul 2, 2015 5:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: I just let them be free for now. I also don't print that fast, 50mm/s
Jul 2, 2015 5:49 AM - jbigler1986: yeah well i'm printing at 130. soooooo
Jul 2, 2015 5:49 AM - jbigler1986: might not be to good
Jul 2, 2015 5:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: My go to layer height is .5mm
Jul 2, 2015 5:50 AM - jbigler1986: 1mm nozzle?
Jul 2, 2015 5:51 AM - jbigler1986: did you get the volcano kit too?
Jul 2, 2015 5:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: yup
Jul 2, 2015 5:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: I have the .8mm nozzle in now
Jul 2, 2015 5:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: the actual extrusion width is pretty close to 1mm
Jul 2, 2015 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: I haven't used my .8 in over a month
Jul 2, 2015 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: never spent the time to dial it in. .6 i used a lot
Jul 2, 2015 5:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: I kind of like the look of the big fat layers
Jul 2, 2015 5:56 AM - daniel871: Could you use the Z-stabilizers from the beta versions of the Robo where the smooth rods didn't go into the cover?
Jul 2, 2015 5:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: They need something to grab onto
Jul 2, 2015 5:56 AM - daniel871: The ones that attached to the smooth rod and basically had a guide that went around the threaded rod (that really only kept them parallel and not actually straight)?
Jul 2, 2015 5:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: All you could do is a prusa / mendel thing and have stabilizers that go down to the cover mounts
Jul 2, 2015 5:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: Then have another that goes from one rod to the other (left -to-right)
Jul 2, 2015 5:59 AM - jbigler1986: could make some kind of mount that goes from the bottom of the case to the top of the smooth rod that has a hole like the top of the case
Jul 2, 2015 6:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: One nice benefit to the volcano is that the thicker layers seem more resistant to warp
Jul 2, 2015 6:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: Though it has only been two days and I have not printed anything incredibly tall
Jul 2, 2015 6:09 AM - daniel871: The volcano is a PLA printing beast, that's for sure.
Jul 2, 2015 6:09 AM - jbigler1986: I love my PLA
Jul 2, 2015 6:10 AM - daniel871: Just had to make sure to turn the temps down to about 175 so as not to burn the filament.
Jul 2, 2015 6:11 AM - jbigler1986: 175 is low as hell. never been below 180
Jul 2, 2015 6:11 AM - daniel871: Was experimenting with the .4 nozzle for it.
Jul 2, 2015 6:12 AM - daniel871: Just couldn't push the filament fast enough at the regular 185-195 temps.
Jul 2, 2015 6:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm printing at 230 with ABS
Jul 2, 2015 6:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: Though I really should do a temp tower on it
Jul 2, 2015 6:12 AM - daniel871: That huge melt zone is kind of a double-edged sword if you want to attempt fine detail with a small nozzle.
Jul 2, 2015 6:13 AM - daniel871: (wonderful for printing T-glase though)
Jul 2, 2015 6:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: Heh. When i first had it hooked up I cranked the heat to 250 to properly seat the nozzle. The cooling fan couldn't keep up and the PLA I was trying to push in there would melt as soon as it hit the heat break and jam
Jul 2, 2015 6:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: The fan that comes with the E3D is surprisingly quiet
Jul 2, 2015 6:16 AM - jbigler1986: yeah it's not loud. it's the damn PSU fan that is loud as hell
Jul 2, 2015 6:16 AM - daniel871: How big a difference did going from the Wade to a direct drive make noise-wise?
Jul 2, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: not a ton. but you can tell
Jul 2, 2015 6:17 AM - daniel871: Most of the noise being from the steppers themselves?
Jul 2, 2015 6:18 AM - daniel871: Or the various carriages sliding along the rods?
Jul 2, 2015 6:18 AM - jbigler1986: steppers are quiet
Jul 2, 2015 6:18 AM - jbigler1986: i have to actually look at the drive gear to make sure it's on when moving filament throught the ptfe tube bc i acan't hear it
Jul 2, 2015 6:19 AM - jbigler1986: once you have the direct drive working you can use the same one with bowden as well.
Jul 2, 2015 6:19 AM - jbigler1986: that's why i say you will be using bowden very soon
Jul 2, 2015 6:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: That PSU fan is going to get replaced one day. One of the first things my wife commented on when the printer was new was that it is kind of loud
Jul 2, 2015 6:20 AM - daniel871: What size is the PSU fan anyway?
Jul 2, 2015 6:21 AM - jbigler1986: yeah that is by far the loudest fan
Jul 2, 2015 6:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: Might be ~60
Jul 2, 2015 6:21 AM - daniel871: Is there more than one inside the casing?
Jul 2, 2015 6:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: I only looked at the mounting hole pattern quickly and it seemed too large to be a 40mm, but I did not measure so I could be totally wrong
Jul 2, 2015 6:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: I believe there is only the one
Jul 2, 2015 6:22 AM - daniel871: You can kind of see one thru the floor of the Robo, but I may be getting the spatial bits backwards since I'm not looking at it.
Jul 2, 2015 6:22 AM - jbigler1986: 60 seems a little large. it could be though
Jul 2, 2015 6:22 AM - jbigler1986: there is the ramps fan then 1 inside the PSU
Jul 2, 2015 6:23 AM - daniel871: Must be thinking of the ramps fan.
Jul 2, 2015 6:23 AM - daniel871: PSU fans are usually integrated aren't they?
Jul 2, 2015 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: it is. it's inside of it
Jul 2, 2015 6:23 AM - daniel871: Probably SOL on that front then.
Jul 2, 2015 6:24 AM - jbigler1986: nope. just take apart the PSU case
Jul 2, 2015 6:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: If you look at the robo, the psu fan is in the back left corner and blows up into the build space
Jul 2, 2015 6:24 AM - daniel871:
Jul 2, 2015 6:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: Well unplug it first
Jul 2, 2015 6:25 AM - jbigler1986: well yeah
Jul 2, 2015 6:25 AM - jbigler1986: not sure if there is a plug for it or not. I imagine it would be hard wired inside though
Jul 2, 2015 6:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: Though this will probably terrify Don, but I do my best electrical work while it is live
Jul 2, 2015 6:26 AM - daniel871: I honestly haven't heard the fans on mine as being loud compared to the whirring and clicking of actually printing something.
Jul 2, 2015 6:27 AM - daniel871: The sound of things kicking into gear on the fans when you fire up the heating element is noticeable though.
Jul 2, 2015 6:27 AM - jbigler1986: as soon as i switch it on it's loud as hell
Jul 2, 2015 6:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: Yeah, set your bed for 95
Jul 2, 2015 6:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: and you will tell
Jul 2, 2015 6:28 AM - daniel871: Haven't taken the bed above 65 yet.
Jul 2, 2015 6:28 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jul 2, 2015 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: i have went up to 90
Jul 2, 2015 6:28 AM - daniel871: Wait, I take that back. PET+ was at 80 with the naked glass.
Jul 2, 2015 6:28 AM - daniel871: Just haven't printed PET+ in a while.
Jul 2, 2015 6:29 AM - jbigler1986: some day i will print this alloy 910
Jul 2, 2015 6:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, i got a whole spool
Jul 2, 2015 6:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: My plan is to print a small spool guide/box for the taulman first
Jul 2, 2015 6:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: The tiny spool just seems no bueno to me
Jul 2, 2015 6:30 AM - daniel871: I haven't had any spool problems with Taulman, other than the netting occasionally binding the filament.
Jul 2, 2015 6:31 AM - jbigler1986: justpla spools are wide as hell
Jul 2, 2015 6:31 AM - daniel871: I've started pulling the netting to one side of the filament holder once I've got the filament loaded in the extruder.
Jul 2, 2015 6:31 AM - daniel871: (i.e., off the spool and dangling from the holder arm itself)
Jul 2, 2015 6:32 AM - daniel871: Woo, 7.4% off on PrintedSolid for the grand opening of the new site.
Jul 2, 2015 6:33 AM - jbigler1986: to bad i don't need anything
Jul 2, 2015 6:33 AM - daniel871: Same here.
Jul 2, 2015 6:34 AM - jbigler1986: i do need another geared stepper but he doesn't have those
Jul 2, 2015 6:35 AM - daniel871: Parents got me the big steel cabinet at Sam's to store my filament and other 3d printer stuff in for my birthday, and I was glad to get it.
Jul 2, 2015 6:35 AM - daniel871: I'm getting old or something.
Jul 2, 2015 6:35 AM - jbigler1986: i have 20 stepper plugs that goes into the ramps 50mm length now
Jul 2, 2015 6:35 AM - jbigler1986: i love getting stuff like that
Jul 2, 2015 6:36 AM - daniel871: Now I just need to buy the matching work table and I'll be set.
Jul 2, 2015 6:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: Something like this so the filament can't unravel >
Jul 2, 2015 6:37 AM - daniel871: This cabinet. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/tall-storage-cabinet-stainless-doors/prod14570055.ip?navAction=push
Jul 2, 2015 6:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: 50mm, so short
Jul 2, 2015 6:37 AM - jbigler1986: well i have plenty of wires
Jul 2, 2015 6:38 AM - jbigler1986: plus the steppers need hard wired anyways
Jul 2, 2015 6:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: Right
Jul 2, 2015 6:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: I spent pretty much all day sunday making extension cords for everything
Jul 2, 2015 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: and to add my nice 4 pin connector
Jul 2, 2015 6:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: With crimp connectors on everything

 

Jul 2, 2015 6:40 AM - daniel871: I've been using bits from this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K7GRCI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01
Jul 2, 2015 6:40 AM - jbigler1986: i have been installing connectors on everything
Jul 2, 2015 6:40 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 2, 2015 6:40 AM - Mike Glass:
Jul 2, 2015 6:40 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jul 2, 2015 6:40 AM - daniel871: Mostly the wire-to-wire connectors.
Jul 2, 2015 6:41 AM - daniel871: Are those bad eeks or what?
Jul 2, 2015 6:41 AM - daniel871: Also these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJVKKKI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Jul 2, 2015 6:42 AM - daniel871: Because the heater cartridges and fans never come with the right plugs on them already.
Jul 2, 2015 6:42 AM - daniel871: (and also have long as hell wires on them)
Jul 2, 2015 6:43 AM - daniel871: I'm getting a little worried now.
Jul 2, 2015 6:43 AM - jbigler1986: i would not use those connectors. just solder the wires together
Jul 2, 2015 6:44 AM - Mike Glass: jst conn is what I use
Jul 2, 2015 6:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: Lineman's splice or crimp to a dupont plug
Jul 2, 2015 6:44 AM - jbigler1986: those are fine. was referring to the kit
Jul 2, 2015 6:45 AM - Mike Glass: off to the dump I go.
Jul 2, 2015 6:45 AM - jbigler1986: i buy pre crimped connectors the cut them and splice
Jul 2, 2015 6:45 AM - jbigler1986: have had 0 issues and no messing with crimping
Jul 2, 2015 6:46 AM - daniel871: The crimped connectors in that kit have worked pretty easily for me.
Jul 2, 2015 6:46 AM - daniel871: The straight tubes, haven't used any of the terminal bits.
Jul 2, 2015 6:47 AM - jbigler1986: those are fine for speaker wires/non moving parts. i wouldn't use them with moving parts
Jul 2, 2015 6:47 AM - jbigler1986: that's just me though. plus i enjoy soldering
Jul 2, 2015 6:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: JB likes the lead fumes
Jul 2, 2015 6:48 AM - donhuevo: morning
Jul 2, 2015 6:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: hola, como estas?
Jul 2, 2015 6:49 AM - daniel871: Is it time to go home yet?
Jul 2, 2015 6:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: Morning? it's almost 10. Damn near lunch time
Jul 2, 2015 6:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: Tonight is a scotchy scotch scotch night
Jul 2, 2015 6:50 AM - donhuevo: mmm scotchety
Jul 2, 2015 6:50 AM - daniel871:
Jul 2, 2015 6:50 AM - daniel871: Haha.
Jul 2, 2015 6:53 AM - jbigler1986: i use lead free damnit
Jul 2, 2015 6:53 AM - jbigler1986: hello Don
Jul 2, 2015 6:54 AM - jbigler1986: this looks like fun
Jul 2, 2015 6:54 AM - donhuevo: hola jb
Jul 2, 2015 6:56 AM - daniel871: Reminds me of the kid dressed as Spider-man sliding around on the floor.
Jul 2, 2015 6:56 AM - jbigler1986: actually ran a print with the geared stepper using your spacer. turned out good. need to adjust my multiplier a little
Jul 2, 2015 6:57 AM - daniel871: I like how the direct drive mount clamps the hotend in place vs. the Wade using the screws to sort of wedge it in place.
Jul 2, 2015 6:58 AM - donhuevo: so it didn't wobble! that's cool.
Jul 2, 2015 6:59 AM - jbigler1986: nope
Jul 2, 2015 7:00 AM - donhuevo: and no jamming?
Jul 2, 2015 7:03 AM - jbigler1986: none at all.
Jul 2, 2015 7:04 AM - jbigler1986: and if it did wobble it wasn't noticeable and the idler would compensate for it
Jul 2, 2015 7:06 AM - donhuevo: so are we done looking for a bowden cold end?
Jul 2, 2015 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: for now
Jul 2, 2015 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: you know me
Jul 2, 2015 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: give me a week or 2 and i will be trying to upgrade for no reason
Jul 2, 2015 7:07 AM - donhuevo: well you need to build another matching one so you can go dual
Jul 2, 2015 7:08 AM - jbigler1986: already printed it
Jul 2, 2015 7:08 AM - jbigler1986: gotta order another geared stepper
Jul 2, 2015 7:08 AM - jbigler1986: got my wiring for it yesterday to the ramps
Jul 2, 2015 7:09 AM - donhuevo: nice!
Jul 2, 2015 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: already have the 2nd v6 wired. just need to wire everything to the ramps
Jul 2, 2015 7:11 AM - donhuevo: and have you worked out a method where you can individually raise/lower the hot ends so they are exactly the same height at the nozzle?
Jul 2, 2015 7:12 AM - jbigler1986: using the exact same mounting pieces they should be
Jul 2, 2015 7:12 AM - jbigler1986: but nothing a little sanding/filing can't fix
Jul 2, 2015 7:13 AM - donhuevo: that's fine until you need to swap out one of the nozzles. Think about building in a method to fine tune their heights
Jul 2, 2015 7:14 AM - jbigler1986: yeah not sure how i would do that
Jul 2, 2015 7:15 AM - daniel871: Chimera and done?
Jul 2, 2015 7:15 AM - daniel871: Or is it Kraken?
Jul 2, 2015 7:16 AM - jbigler1986: already have the hardware except for a geared stepper. no reason to buy more
Jul 2, 2015 7:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: Even the chimera needs leveling
Jul 2, 2015 7:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: Nylock nuts and screws to adjust the height
Jul 2, 2015 7:17 AM - jbigler1986: to hold the v6 mount. that way it can be adjusted. hmmm
Jul 2, 2015 7:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: You would have two mounting plates that are independent in the Z
Jul 2, 2015 7:18 AM - jbigler1986: yeah they are seperate
Jul 2, 2015 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: it's 1 mounting plate for each one
Jul 2, 2015 7:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: One needs to be adjustable up and down just fractions of a mm
Jul 2, 2015 7:19 AM - donhuevo: maybe something as simple as lockwashers in between the plates and the carriage
Jul 2, 2015 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: very fine threaded bolt
Jul 2, 2015 7:20 AM - jbigler1986: using these to mount the v6
Jul 2, 2015 7:21 AM - jbigler1986: pretty sure its those. MK may have modified it a little. I would have to double check
Jul 2, 2015 7:25 AM - donhuevo: yep, I think the lockwashers ought to do it and still hold them stable
Jul 2, 2015 7:25 AM - jbigler1986: inbetween the carriage and the mount?
Jul 2, 2015 7:26 AM - donhuevo: yep. tighten both mounts all the way down. then paper test both of them and back off the long one til it matches
Jul 2, 2015 7:29 AM - jbigler1986: sweet. already have a bunch of those
Jul 2, 2015 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: how do you tell the slicer where you want to switch (tools) for a specific area
Jul 2, 2015 7:32 AM - donhuevo: that I can't help you with. I had plans for dual but never saw them through
Jul 2, 2015 7:33 AM - donhuevo: printed it but never installed
Jul 2, 2015 7:36 AM - daniel871: Which slicer?
Jul 2, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: s3d
Jul 2, 2015 7:41 AM - daniel871: There's a tutorial somewhere on their site for setting up a custom machine.
Jul 2, 2015 7:42 AM - daniel871: Hang on.
Jul 2, 2015 7:44 AM - daniel871: I think you'll have to trick S3D by picking a dual extruding machine profile and then modifying it to match the Robo's build area and the nozzle tool spacings.
Jul 2, 2015 7:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: Makerbot V5
Jul 2, 2015 7:47 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jul 2, 2015 7:49 AM - daniel871: Like, Process file with a different printer profile, then go to Tools and Options, then the Machine tab and alter the build area and tool locations. Should work, in theory.
Jul 2, 2015 7:49 AM - daniel871: Then you go through the Dual Extrusion Wizard with an actual model to test it.
Jul 2, 2015 7:49 AM - daniel871: (or two models, since it requires it)
Jul 2, 2015 7:58 AM - daniel871: Looks like the Tool Location is a toggle in the Machine Settings vs. having multiple rows you fill out. Fill out Tool 0's location relative to the center of the carriage, then select Tool 1 for the second nozzle and do the same, I think.
Jul 2, 2015 7:58 AM - jbigler1986: I will have to dive into that soon
Jul 2, 2015 7:59 AM - daniel871: Just confirmed it looking at the Leapfrog Creatr processes for comparison.
Jul 2, 2015 7:59 AM - daniel871: Tool 0 is in the center on 0/0, Tool 1 when selected shows a 34mm offset on X.
Jul 2, 2015 8:00 AM - daniel871: Since both nozzles would be offset in the Y-direction on the Robo, it might get tricky determining exactly what that offset is.
Jul 2, 2015 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: they would be offset in x not y
Jul 2, 2015 8:01 AM - daniel871: Unless MK has it written down somewhere if you're using his models.
Jul 2, 2015 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: y would be the same
Jul 2, 2015 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: they are side by side not front to back
Jul 2, 2015 8:02 AM - daniel871: Same deal on determining the spacing though.
Jul 2, 2015 8:02 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. just measuring. shouldn't be that difficult

 

Jul 2, 2015 8:03 AM - daniel871: Probably some room for forgiveness as well as long as your overall distance between the two is accurate (being off-center a little won't kill your print, just move it on the bed a little)
Jul 2, 2015 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: good thing i don't get pissed easily
Jul 2, 2015 8:05 AM - daniel871: Why?
Jul 2, 2015 8:08 AM - jbigler1986: bc dual is gonna take some time to get figured out
Jul 2, 2015 8:08 AM - jbigler1986: lots of the headache is figuring out bowden itself
Jul 2, 2015 8:11 AM - daniel871: I figure once I get the Robo set up in the shop (after the electrical and insulation is done), I'll tackle the dual/bowden setup myself.
Jul 2, 2015 8:11 AM - daniel871: Right now I'll be happy to just get running again next week.
Jul 2, 2015 8:11 AM - daniel871: Question: Is there a quick calculation for verifying extruder steps based on the stepper and drive gear somewhere?
Jul 2, 2015 8:12 AM - jbigler1986: yeah get single bowden going first
Jul 2, 2015 8:12 AM - daniel871: I figure the Bowden will have the Wade running wherever the cold end gets mounted. This is to make sure I don't have wrong settings for the direct drive.
Jul 2, 2015 8:13 AM - daniel871: (which I'll use to print the bowden mount for the Wade outside the cover)
Jul 2, 2015 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: i'm confused
Jul 2, 2015 8:15 AM - daniel871: Currently setting up direct drive with a 5.18:1 stepper. I know the steps in the firmware need to be adjusted, but I'm not sure how to calculate it.
Jul 2, 2015 8:16 AM - daniel871: Also I know the drive gear plays a role in the calculation along with the angle of rotation per step on the motor.
Jul 2, 2015 8:16 AM - jbigler1986: just like you did with gregs
Jul 2, 2015 8:17 AM - jbigler1986: my geared stepper with the drive gear right now is 479.6
Jul 2, 2015 8:17 AM - daniel871: I never adjusted the Greg's, that stayed the same since it was stock.
Jul 2, 2015 8:17 AM - jbigler1986: it's very simple
Jul 2, 2015 8:17 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 2, 2015 8:17 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm missing a sock
Jul 2, 2015 8:17 AM - jbigler1986: follow that daniel
Jul 2, 2015 8:18 AM - daniel871: Is it still in the washer/dryer, Bill?
Jul 2, 2015 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: been smoking the funny cig Bill?
Jul 2, 2015 8:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i think the washer ate it
Jul 2, 2015 8:22 AM - jbigler1986: i lose socks all of the time. No clue how it happens.
Jul 2, 2015 8:22 AM - Bill Monroe: it's the sock gnomes
Jul 2, 2015 8:22 AM - jbigler1986: i know i take 2 off when i take my shoes off
Jul 2, 2015 8:27 AM - daniel871: Do any of them have holes/thin spots in them? The wives may be trashing them as they encounter them.
Jul 2, 2015 8:27 AM - donhuevo: don't you have to wait 48 hours before reporting it missing?
Jul 2, 2015 8:27 AM - Bill Monroe: she'd take 2 at a time
Jul 2, 2015 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: nope. if they have holes i trash them
Jul 2, 2015 8:32 AM - Bill Monroe: i gotta drag one of my laptops out and set it up
Jul 2, 2015 8:32 AM - jbigler1986: for?
Jul 2, 2015 8:33 AM - Bill Monroe: son's fiancee'
Jul 2, 2015 8:34 AM - jbigler1986: gotcha
Jul 2, 2015 8:35 AM - jbigler1986: give her the purple one. i know you have it
Jul 2, 2015 8:35 AM - Bill Monroe: but I like the purple one!
Jul 2, 2015 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: anyone doing anything special this weekend?
Jul 2, 2015 8:37 AM - Bill Monroe: oh ya
Jul 2, 2015 8:38 AM - jbigler1986: care to enlighten us
Jul 2, 2015 8:38 AM - Bill Monroe: son coming home from Korea.. finacee moving in today... fly up to Joshua Tree now that the fires are out...
Jul 2, 2015 8:38 AM - Bill Monroe: took two weeks off
Jul 2, 2015 8:38 AM - Bill Monroe: lots to do
Jul 2, 2015 8:39 AM - Bill Monroe: you?
Jul 2, 2015 8:39 AM - jbigler1986: nothing special. cookout, fireworks. the usual
Jul 2, 2015 8:39 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
Jul 2, 2015 8:45 AM - donhuevo: I'm just looking forward to turning off my phone. it's one of only 5 days I truly have off
Jul 2, 2015 8:48 AM - jbigler1986: tomorrow off?
Jul 2, 2015 8:49 AM - donhuevo: the 4th
Jul 2, 2015 8:49 AM - jbigler1986: ahh. yeah today is my friday.
Jul 2, 2015 8:59 AM - donhuevo: might be time for a new career
Jul 2, 2015 9:00 AM - Mike Glass: Happy Friday
Jul 2, 2015 9:00 AM - Mike Glass: You work on the weekend Don?
Jul 2, 2015 9:01 AM - donhuevo: most of the pharmacies are open 7 days a week so my 'help desk' duties follow suit. Need to be available in case of hardware failure too
Jul 2, 2015 9:02 AM - Mike Glass: do you do it home?
Jul 2, 2015 9:02 AM - donhuevo: as often as possible ya. I can remote into every machine the company owns if need be.
Jul 2, 2015 9:04 AM - donhuevo: We do 6 holidays a year but I work New Years because of month end, quarter end and year end crap
Jul 2, 2015 9:05 AM - jbigler1986: the perfect storm
Jul 2, 2015 9:05 AM - donhuevo: yep, so 5 days truly off per year
Jul 2, 2015 9:06 AM - donhuevo: sorry. done bitching.
Jul 2, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: how many sick days?
Jul 2, 2015 9:07 AM - donhuevo: haha
Jul 2, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: oh really
Jul 2, 2015 9:07 AM - donhuevo: I was still on the dilaudid pain pump at the hospital remoting in to fix stuff
Jul 2, 2015 9:12 AM - donhuevo: so I'm taking suggestions for a new career
Jul 2, 2015 9:13 AM - donhuevo: and yes jb, I'd even consider dildo design
Jul 2, 2015 9:13 AM - jbigler1986: ha
Jul 2, 2015 9:14 AM - jbigler1986: yeah fuck working like that
Jul 2, 2015 9:16 AM - Printed Solid: hey all
Jul 2, 2015 9:16 AM - donhuevo: howdy Matt
Jul 2, 2015 9:16 AM - jbigler1986: heyoh
Jul 2, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: site looks good Matt
Jul 2, 2015 9:18 AM - donhuevo: finally got away from the Wordpress!
Jul 2, 2015 9:18 AM - Printed Solid: thanks jb. Could I bother you do send me the link to your pics again? I actually never loaded them
Jul 2, 2015 9:18 AM - Printed Solid: Yeah, it was time. It was probably time a year ago...
Jul 2, 2015 9:19 AM - Printed Solid: this will be a nice change for customers, but it also will make my life so much easier.
Jul 2, 2015 9:19 AM - jbigler1986: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ubqfzfy7p2grkp9/3D Parts for matt.rar?dl=0
Jul 2, 2015 9:19 AM - Printed Solid: Loading inventory is now on a single page instead of having to go into every product.
Jul 2, 2015 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: so a batch upload file?
Jul 2, 2015 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: that's how you should do it. create a spreadsheet. update what is needed. upload 1 file and be done
Jul 2, 2015 9:20 AM - Printed Solid: No need. there is a nice interface page for doing all of that.
Jul 2, 2015 9:21 AM - jbigler1986: working on adding amazon payments again?
Jul 2, 2015 9:22 AM - Printed Solid: It doesn't seem to be an option with shopify.
Jul 2, 2015 9:22 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 2, 2015 9:22 AM - Printed Solid: Which is a bit of a bummer as the developer of that plug in was a regular customer.
Jul 2, 2015 9:22 AM - Printed Solid: ya. we'll see. I'll talk to him about it.
Jul 2, 2015 9:26 AM - Printed Solid: just sent him an email. will let you know.
Jul 2, 2015 9:40 AM - donhuevo: so I ended up printing 3 squinty guys last night
Jul 2, 2015 9:42 AM - Mike Glass: gonna blow them up?
Jul 2, 2015 9:43 AM - donhuevo: I don't think but I definitely plan on editing the gcode to skip the top of his melon from printing.
Jul 2, 2015 9:46 AM - donhuevo: it's a nice size for a mixed drink too
Jul 2, 2015 10:01 AM - donhuevo:
Jul 2, 2015 10:18 AM - jbigler1986: yes
Jul 2, 2015 10:26 AM - BryZad: Hey all
Jul 2, 2015 10:26 AM - jbigler1986: hello
Jul 2, 2015 10:26 AM - BryZad: How things been going jb
Jul 2, 2015 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: you know. upgrading, breaking it, upgrading. the usual. u?
Jul 2, 2015 10:28 AM - BryZad: I am going to need your up grade list to start on mine
Jul 2, 2015 10:30 AM - jbigler1986: sure
Jul 2, 2015 10:34 AM - daniel871: Since I already have the Robo apart anyway, should I screw around with the Z-axis lead screws at all?

 

Jul 2, 2015 10:38 AM - donhuevo: if you didn't have any z artifacts, I wouldn't even breathe on them
Jul 2, 2015 10:39 AM - daniel871: Z seemed to be fine as best as I could tell once I figured out the layer heights I should use for a particular nozzle.
Jul 2, 2015 10:40 AM - daniel871: So no fn with the Z rods right now.
Jul 2, 2015 10:40 AM - donhuevo: I wouldn't
Jul 2, 2015 10:46 AM - jbigler1986: I would. those couplers suck. it's only a matter of time
Jul 2, 2015 10:48 AM - donhuevo: I agree but if you don't have linear steppers to replace them...
Jul 2, 2015 10:48 AM - jbigler1986: well daniel is on a buying spree. so go ahead
Jul 2, 2015 10:56 AM - BryZad: Do you guys think the R2 is going to be worth it ?
Jul 2, 2015 10:56 AM - jbigler1986: not by the time it actually gets released
Jul 2, 2015 10:57 AM - BryZad: Why's that ?
Jul 2, 2015 10:57 AM - jbigler1986: bc printers keep getting cheaper
Jul 2, 2015 10:58 AM - BryZad: Hope they drop the price and or add more features
Jul 2, 2015 11:00 AM - jbigler1986: you can build a bigger better printer for less than what they are going to charge
Jul 2, 2015 11:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: Eusthanios will run about 2k to build yourself
Jul 2, 2015 11:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: I butcher that name everytime
Jul 2, 2015 11:01 AM - BryZad: Looking into another printer for prop bulding
Jul 2, 2015 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: i would build one
Jul 2, 2015 11:13 AM - daniel871: I'm thinking after I get my Robo running and stable again I should just focus on either doing the Eustathios build or use it as the basis for what I want.
Jul 2, 2015 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: is that the spider v2
Jul 2, 2015 11:18 AM - jbigler1986: yes it is
Jul 2, 2015 11:29 AM - BryZad: What's the specs on the Spider V2
Jul 2, 2015 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: https://github.com/eclsnowman/Eustathios-Spider-V2
Jul 2, 2015 11:32 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Bry
Jul 2, 2015 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: Build Volume: 285x285x295mm
Jul 2, 2015 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: what an effin day, I hate domain changes
Jul 2, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: gave 3 years for people to change their address, and still most have not..
Jul 2, 2015 11:34 AM - jbigler1986: those are fun
Jul 2, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: oh well not going back now...ahahahahaha
Jul 2, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: so whats up for the next 3 day, fun in the sun relaxing drinking beers?
Jul 2, 2015 11:38 AM - daniel871: Rain, arthritic aches, being glad about not having to go to work and trying to relax in spite of said aches.
Jul 2, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Glass: I have 3 kids at home so relaxing is not an option. I come to work to relax..lol
Jul 2, 2015 11:41 AM - jbigler1986: i know how that is
Jul 2, 2015 11:42 AM - jbigler1986: or i relax at about 10PM
Jul 2, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Glass: getting better as they get older.
Jul 2, 2015 11:43 AM - jbigler1986: that is does. more independent which allows you to relax and not have to worry as much
Jul 2, 2015 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: untill they start driving..
Jul 2, 2015 11:44 AM - jbigler1986: oh god. and also the birds and the bees
Jul 2, 2015 11:44 AM - daniel871: Meh. That's what airbag systems and programmable driver restrictions are for in modern cars.
Jul 2, 2015 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: I cant afford a modern car.
Jul 2, 2015 11:45 AM - Mike Glass: remember I have 3 kids
Jul 2, 2015 11:45 AM - daniel871: I could program my car (2012) to limit the top speed, radio volume and even refuse to drive if the seatbelt isn't fastened.
Jul 2, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: My 64 dodge power wagon, I can restrict the air pressure in the tires
Jul 2, 2015 11:46 AM - daniel871: 3D print a wedge that attaches to the gas pedal and limits acceleration.
Jul 2, 2015 11:46 AM - daniel871:
Jul 2, 2015 11:47 AM - jbigler1986: lol MG
Jul 2, 2015 11:47 AM - Mike Glass: ah, I used to have that vehicle when I was young, the desiel I drive now, I wouldnt let them drive.
Jul 2, 2015 11:47 AM - jbigler1986: isn't ur oldest like 6?
Jul 2, 2015 11:47 AM - Mike Glass: 7 1/2
Jul 2, 2015 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: got the halfs going. sweet
Jul 2, 2015 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: my oldest is 7 and 1/3
Jul 2, 2015 11:49 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Jul 2, 2015 11:49 AM - Mike Glass: 2007 or 2008
Jul 2, 2015 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: 2008
Jul 2, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: pretty close
Jul 2, 2015 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: march
Jul 2, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: Nov
Jul 2, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: our son is a march they are 16 months apart
Jul 2, 2015 11:51 AM - jbigler1986: what day in Nov and March?
Jul 2, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: 14 and 7
Jul 2, 2015 11:52 AM - jbigler1986: My bday is Nov 14
Jul 2, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Glass: haha, cool, so is her cousins.
Jul 2, 2015 11:52 AM - jbigler1986: sons is MArch 16
Jul 2, 2015 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: her cousin is exactly 10 years older.
Jul 2, 2015 11:56 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i have a few friends with bday of Nov 14. is very odd
Jul 2, 2015 12:08 PM - daniel871: Nah.
Jul 2, 2015 12:11 PM - BryZad: Hey Mike G how you been
Jul 2, 2015 12:12 PM - daniel871: Hm. Another person on FB claiming there is no way S3D is worth $150 when there are free programs out there "that do the same thing".
Jul 2, 2015 12:18 PM - jbigler1986: the free ones really aren't bad (except for MC). But S3D support removal alone is worth it
Jul 2, 2015 12:18 PM - BryZad: Is there a trial version out ?
Jul 2, 2015 12:19 PM - jbigler1986: there is a full version one out there for free
Jul 2, 2015 12:19 PM - jbigler1986: just gotta search for it
Jul 2, 2015 12:22 PM - BryZad: Of s3d ?
Jul 2, 2015 12:25 PM - mark tomlinson: An uninformed person on FB???? No...
Jul 2, 2015 12:25 PM - mark tomlinson: Get the heck out of town.
Jul 2, 2015 12:43 PM - daniel871: Good grief, just checked the weather and yep, it's going to rain all damn weekend.
Jul 2, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Glass: I would love rain all weekend its been in the high 90's-100
Jul 2, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: Friday starts in 11 minutes, if they let me go.
Jul 2, 2015 1:04 PM - BryZad: Hell it is 112 out right now I will take 90s
Jul 2, 2015 1:11 PM - daniel871: I'm only aggravated because heavy thunderstorms all weekend means get ready for power outages and boredom.
Jul 2, 2015 1:11 PM - Bill Monroe: .... and conceptions
Jul 2, 2015 1:12 PM - daniel871: Have to be in a relationship for that.
Jul 2, 2015 1:13 PM - daniel871: Also not sterile.
Jul 2, 2015 1:15 PM - Bill Monroe: dan the buzzkiller
Jul 2, 2015 1:16 PM - daniel871: It's usually other people that are upset over that instead of me for some reason.
Jul 2, 2015 1:23 PM - Bill Monroe: in an hour, i'm gunna have TWO hawt brunettes living here
Jul 2, 2015 1:38 PM - daniel871: How is that?
Jul 2, 2015 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: Dont let 2.0 hear that
Jul 2, 2015 2:26 PM - Mike Glass: awe beer
Jul 2, 2015 2:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: If Bry is still around Printed will slice a model for you to try S3D
Jul 2, 2015 2:51 PM - Mike Glass: what up capistrono
Jul 2, 2015 3:01 PM - jbigler1986: What up
Jul 2, 2015 3:04 PM - Stephen Capistron: Waiting for my wife to land in boston
Jul 2, 2015 3:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: Then I can start drinking scotch because today was my last day at work
Jul 2, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Glass: you quit?
Jul 2, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Glass: or retired?
Jul 2, 2015 3:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: Quit
Jul 2, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Glass: patents gonna keep you afloat
Jul 2, 2015 3:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: Got tired of not having anything interesting to do at work
Jul 2, 2015 3:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: patents wife
Jul 2, 2015 3:13 PM - jbigler1986: Nice

 

Jul 2, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Glass: so you can now work on my Bap..lol
Jul 2, 2015 3:14 PM - jbigler1986: Time to build a legit enclosure
Jul 2, 2015 3:14 PM - Stephen Capistron: Right. Or our unfinished living room
Jul 2, 2015 3:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: Then prepare a delicious dinner every night
Jul 2, 2015 3:16 PM - jbigler1986: I would say the latter. Its more important
Jul 2, 2015 3:17 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'm going to try and limit myself to about an hour of robo time a day
Jul 2, 2015 3:18 PM - jbigler1986: Thats tough when you get started on something
Jul 2, 2015 3:19 PM - Mike Glass: its so lonely
Jul 2, 2015 3:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: It is. Some days it might just be set stuff up to print, others might be time spent reconfiguring, and yet others it might be some CAD work
Jul 2, 2015 3:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: All I see is a "?"
Jul 2, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Glass: imgur is effed
Jul 2, 2015 3:21 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I stay up way to late some nights. I dont like to leave mine apart overnight for some reason
Jul 2, 2015 3:21 PM - Stephen Capistron: Worth every penny though
Jul 2, 2015 3:22 PM - jbigler1986: Gonna be that orientation or standing up?
Jul 2, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Glass: that orientation, I want a big platform
Jul 2, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Glass: 15x20 is what Im shooting for
Jul 2, 2015 3:24 PM - Mike Glass: thats what my cnc is currently
Jul 2, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: I could use it to print but would be alot slower
Jul 2, 2015 3:26 PM - Stephen Capistron: So you'll have about 6" in z?
Jul 2, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Glass: should have at least 10
Jul 2, 2015 3:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: I see why you want to go with the 12mm rods
Jul 2, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Glass: more closer to 13wx18lx10h
Jul 2, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Glass: yea or bigger, Im not looking for lightniing speed, just a big as platform
Jul 2, 2015 3:29 PM - Stephen Capistron: Volcano and Bowden will be the way to go
Jul 2, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Glass: yep its on the BOM
Jul 2, 2015 3:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: That combo will get a lot of your speed back. As much as you probably don't want to stock 2 sizes of filament I'd consider 3mm
Jul 2, 2015 3:31 PM - Stephen Capistron: It is probably a bit more forgiving in a Bowden configuration
Jul 2, 2015 3:31 PM - Mike Glass: yea was thinking the same, but hate to go that route having a 1.75 printer already.
Jul 2, 2015 3:31 PM - Mike Glass: but maybe a dual feed 1.75..lol
Jul 2, 2015 3:32 PM - Stephen Capistron: Just get a 3mm head for that too
Jul 2, 2015 3:33 PM - Stephen Capistron: Build plate glass or aluminum or plastic?
Jul 2, 2015 3:33 PM - Mike Glass: I have a guy that wants me to build kids bow parts, I told I couldnt do it with my existing printer, I need at least 13" platform
Jul 2, 2015 3:33 PM - Mike Glass: alum
Jul 2, 2015 3:34 PM - Mike Glass: better heat displacement
Jul 2, 2015 3:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: Going to regrind the precision ground? MIC6 aluminum just isn't that flat
Jul 2, 2015 3:35 PM - Mike Glass: There is a place here in town that does billet so hopefully that will work.
Jul 2, 2015 3:37 PM - Stephen Capistron: Mic6 is .005 at best. If they can do .001 you'll be golden. Only other thing to watch out for with billet is slight warping from thermal cycling
Jul 2, 2015 3:38 PM - Stephen Capistron: You know from when you print in XT or ABS
Jul 2, 2015 3:38 PM - Stephen Capistron:
Jul 2, 2015 3:38 PM - Mike Glass: I wont be printing xt, abs however I love
Jul 2, 2015 3:39 PM - Mike Glass: abs prints like butter. and so fast
Jul 2, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Glass: I just wish I could print bridge with my robo
Jul 2, 2015 3:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: So you'll need an enclosure. Might I recommend rigid foam insulation
Jul 2, 2015 3:41 PM - Stephen Capistron: Why no bridge for you?
Jul 2, 2015 3:41 PM - Mike Glass: it always fails, not sure why, maybe a slicer issue. I dunno
Jul 2, 2015 3:42 PM - Mike Glass: the hex is not forgiving with size quality
Jul 2, 2015 3:42 PM - Stephen Capistron: Delaminates, or up sticks from the bed?
Jul 2, 2015 3:43 PM - Stephen Capistron: Oo, yeah and that can be an issue
Jul 2, 2015 3:43 PM - Mike Glass: No I use wood glue and works perfect for the bed, just half way through it print it stops extruding
Jul 2, 2015 3:44 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'd love a cylindrical shaver on the inlet of the extruder that could cut those off
Jul 2, 2015 3:44 PM - Mike Glass: I just prints everything else perfect, taulman, and abs, pla great so dont want to mess with it.
Jul 2, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Glass: I followed ziggy's guide and after that, for stock its a great printer for the money.
Jul 2, 2015 3:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: Might be able to lap the aluminum yourself if you can get your hands on a big flat piece of granite. Glue down some 800 grit, wet it and gently slide the plate around
Jul 2, 2015 3:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'm glad I bought it, but knowing what I know now I wish I built one
Jul 2, 2015 3:47 PM - Stephen Capistron: The robo forces you to learn so much
Jul 2, 2015 3:47 PM - Mike Glass: its not granite but that piece behind that picture is a manufactured top and its super flat
Jul 2, 2015 3:47 PM - Mike Glass: weights like 80 lbs
Jul 2, 2015 3:48 PM - Stephen Capistron: Could work
Jul 2, 2015 3:49 PM - Mike Glass: I make concrete tables as well in the summer and have a top thats level for that as well
Jul 2, 2015 3:49 PM - Stephen Capistron: With some of the questions in the forum either robo needs to deliver a better product or set peoples expectations properly
Jul 2, 2015 3:50 PM - Mike Glass: Biggest problem is the the effin firmware
Jul 2, 2015 3:50 PM - Stephen Capistron: That is why printed doesn't sell e3d assembled anymore. He wants his customer to learn what they are doing. It makes for a better customer in the long run
Jul 2, 2015 3:50 PM - Stephen Capistron: And the z limit switches
Jul 2, 2015 3:52 PM - Mike Glass: Yes that could change as well, I dont know how much I printed before I found out that the firmware was effed but now looking back everthing is to short. Like my lightsaber. after I updated the firmware everyting is perfect
Jul 2, 2015 3:52 PM - Mike Glass: ok that sounded bad..lol
Jul 2, 2015 3:53 PM - Stephen Capistron: So long as misses glass is happy
Jul 2, 2015 3:53 PM - Mike Glass: guess 3 kids later she should know.
Jul 2, 2015 3:53 PM - Stephen Capistron: Doing something right
Jul 2, 2015 3:54 PM - Mike Glass: I wish I would of put a bathroom in the shop..lol
Jul 2, 2015 3:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: Ha. Isn't that when you just step out the back door for number 1
Jul 2, 2015 3:55 PM - Mike Glass: no door that was another thing I didnt do, just the two garage doors.
Jul 2, 2015 3:56 PM - Mike Glass: I cheaped out and at the time we had alot of break-ins so I thought one less thing to worry about
Jul 2, 2015 3:57 PM - Mike Glass: the fuckers had the nerve to come in the dog door on the other garage and steal my effin beer.
Jul 2, 2015 3:58 PM - Stephen Capistron: What the f
Jul 2, 2015 3:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: That ain't cool
Jul 2, 2015 4:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: Get a few of the fake security cameras
Jul 2, 2015 4:00 PM - Mike Glass: yeah and the dogs didnt even hear anything, and im also a very light sleeper. but I was in my office when it happened.
Jul 2, 2015 4:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: Or real ones
Jul 2, 2015 4:00 PM - Mike Glass: No, I have a dvr and cameras now.
Jul 2, 2015 4:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: One on the inside of the fridge?
Jul 2, 2015 4:01 PM - Mike Glass: haha, it would go off every 5 min
Jul 2, 2015 4:01 PM - Stephen Capistron: You might want that when the kids get older
Jul 2, 2015 4:01 PM - Mike Glass: I have one that looks right at the fridge in the shop now.
Jul 2, 2015 4:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: I really need to do a better job tracking the amount of filament left on a spool. I just killed a print because my eyeball estimate was way off
Jul 2, 2015 4:03 PM - Mike Glass: the old garage I was turning into a family room, but my wife has it filled with furniture for her new venture.
Jul 2, 2015 4:03 PM - Mike Glass: Yeah I need to get a scale for filament
Jul 2, 2015 4:03 PM - jbigler1986: Same
Jul 2, 2015 4:04 PM - Stephen Capistron: I have one in the kitchen
Jul 2, 2015 4:04 PM - jbigler1986: Is s3d good at the calulated amount
Jul 2, 2015 4:04 PM - Mike Glass: yeah just like time!
Jul 2, 2015 4:04 PM - jbigler1986: Havent seen anyone actually test it
Jul 2, 2015 4:04 PM - jbigler1986: Ha. Time is not
Jul 2, 2015 4:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: I should upgrade from that one in the kitchen and donate the old one to me in the basement
Jul 2, 2015 4:05 PM - Mike Glass: there is a setting I think you can change in s3d to make it better
Jul 2, 2015 4:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: I wouldn't be surprised if it was accurate on filament. It is all tool path based
Jul 2, 2015 4:06 PM - Stephen Capistron: For print time s3d has no clue what your acceleration settings are
Jul 2, 2015 4:06 PM - Stephen Capistron: Those will drive the print time more than speed
Jul 2, 2015 4:08 PM - Mike Glass: I thought I saw something, but maybe it was on the version 3.0
Jul 2, 2015 4:09 PM - Stephen Capistron: Time for me to go to the airport. Later dudes
Jul 2, 2015 4:09 PM - Mike Glass: see ya

 

Jul 2, 2015 4:10 PM - Mike Glass: I think it was repetier that had that setting
Jul 2, 2015 4:59 PM - daniel871: Really dumb question time. How do I adjust voltage to the extruder stepper?
Jul 2, 2015 5:05 PM - Printed Solid: it actually has to be accurate for length of extruded filament. It is telling the printer how much to extrude.
Jul 2, 2015 5:06 PM - Printed Solid: time is never going to be accurate unless you happen to be running on a slicer made for that printer, i.e. makerware on a makerbot or cura on an ultimaker.
Jul 2, 2015 5:39 PM - jbigler1986: What do you trying to adjust voltage for
Jul 2, 2015 5:41 PM - jbigler1986: Gotta tweak the pot
Jul 2, 2015 5:47 PM - daniel871: Geared stepper thrums but doesn't turn.
Jul 2, 2015 5:49 PM - daniel871: Not the best word. It has power, can feel the little vibration you feel when an electric motor has power. But it doesnt turn. Spins with a little resistance by hand.
Jul 2, 2015 5:51 PM - daniel871: Use the LCD to tell it to turn and you hear the hum of it trying to turn, but not getting anywhere so it either isnt getting enough juice or is getting far too much and shutting off.
Jul 2, 2015 5:51 PM - daniel871: Hums louder for a second and then goes back to the regular hum.
Jul 2, 2015 5:52 PM - daniel871: (After spinning the knob to tell it to extrude 30mm, so one second wasn't near long enough)
Jul 2, 2015 5:59 PM - daniel871: Found a guide via Google so now I'm working through that. Not specifically for the robo but its a reprap guide so should be good enough.
Jul 2, 2015 6:26 PM - jbigler1986: I didnt habe to adjust mine
Jul 2, 2015 6:30 PM - Mike Glass: habe to too
Jul 2, 2015 6:47 PM - jbigler1986: Damnit. Have*
Jul 2, 2015 6:48 PM - Stephen Capistron: Boooo
Jul 2, 2015 6:51 PM - Mike Glass: lol
Jul 2, 2015 6:53 PM - Stephen Capistron: Who ever designed those little pots I want to kick
Jul 2, 2015 6:54 PM - Stephen Capistron: It is almost impossible to tell if you are actually turning the thing
Jul 2, 2015 7:04 PM - jbigler1986: i'm use to it. had to do it on xbox 360 lasers for years
Jul 2, 2015 7:25 PM - jbigler1986: Holy hell this geared stepper is hot as hell
Jul 2, 2015 8:21 PM - daniel871: What are the polarities on the Robos wires for the extruder motor? Apparently, the geared stepper uses different colors.
Jul 2, 2015 8:21 PM - daniel871: Coming from the ramps?
Jul 2, 2015 8:22 PM - daniel871: Need to figure out a/b +/- to match up to the geared stepper.
Jul 2, 2015 8:25 PM - daniel871: Stepper is Black(A+), Green(A-), Red(B+), Blue(B-) but I dont think that matches the robo.
Jul 2, 2015 8:47 PM - jbigler1986: I just matched colors
Jul 2, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: Didnt work at first. Then it started working. Has worked since
Jul 2, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: Change esteps to 500
Jul 2, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: Then try to move it
Jul 2, 2015 8:53 PM - jbigler1986: Pretty sure mine didnt move until i changed esteps for some reason
