Aug 1, 2015 at 3:31 PM - Mike Kelly: jb is it not like cura where you specify the carriage dimensions?
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:31 PM - Mike Kelly: https://www.simplify3d.com/support/tutorials/multi-part-printing/ this isn't very helpful
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:32 PM - Mike Kelly: so you only specify the max height? you don't do any sort of width? gotta define that yourself i guess?
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: doesn't seem to be working
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:35 PM - Mike Kelly: set it to 30mm and it's still printing the part layer by layer
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:38 PM - Mike Kelly: maybe you need multiple process...
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:39 PM - Mike Kelly: yup that worked
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:39 PM - Mike Kelly: that's pretty convoluted....
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:44 PM - Mike Kelly: also i'm not clear on what's happening with SD printing from simplify3d
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: if you do tell it to run a print from the machine control panel, is it actually loading the gcode onto the SD card or what
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:50 PM - daniel871: I think the program has to be on the card first.
Aug 1, 2015 at 3:51 PM - daniel871: Only way to find out is to start it and then unplug the USB cable after the print starts.
Aug 1, 2015 at 4:09 PM - PeterkSharma: do the wires matter on the heater cartidge for the e3d v6? mine are both blue wrapped
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:02 PM - jim3Dbot: No, just a heater..no polarity
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:06 PM - PeterkSharma: yeah so if it wont heat on the printer, prob a bad heater cartidge?
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:15 PM - daniel871: That or a bad connection.
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:26 PM - Mike Kelly: Measure the resistance of the cartridge
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: Sorry mk. Yeah you just specify height
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:32 PM - jbigler1986: You have to make a process for each part. Then select that model on the process
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:32 PM - jbigler1986: Oh nvm
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:33 PM - jbigler1986: Didnt read that you got it figured out. Yeah its confusing at first
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:33 PM - jbigler1986: But nice that you can have completely different settings for each part
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:41 PM - jim3Dbot: Low resistance...OK, open or infinity NFG....
Aug 1, 2015 at 5:47 PM - PeterkSharma: k thanks
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:02 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah jb, like all things with simplify3d, it's hugely powerful just super complex
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:04 PM - Michael DiFilippo: Hey Mike quick question for you! Is there any advantage to going with the dual E3D V6 vs the chimera? Obviously it would involve purchasing a chimera versus just another V6 (I have one already) but looking through everything I can find from you it looks like it is a more simplified and streamlined option
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: advantages of the v6: easier leveling of nozzles because of my design advantages of chimera: More rigidized mount for easier calibration and single heatsink fan
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: that said i think the chimera is the better option
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:06 PM - Michael DiFilippo: thanks Mike appreciate it! What style system are you running for the stepper motors, saw you reference hercustruder which I am checking out now
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm using bondtechs right now but i think the hercustruder is the way to go
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:07 PM - Michael DiFilippo: You are the man Mike. Hope all is well!
Aug 1, 2015 at 6:09 PM - Mike Kelly: thanks you too
Aug 1, 2015 at 7:52 PM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 1, 2015 at 8:01 PM - jbigler1986: Hercustruder is the bomb
Aug 1, 2015 at 8:04 PM - Bill Monroe: why?
Aug 1, 2015 at 8:04 PM - Mike Glass: cause they bomb out.
Aug 1, 2015 at 8:05 PM - Bill Monroe: once again, a burst of logic :0

Aug 2, 2015 5:28 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Morning
Aug 2, 2015 5:29 AM - jbigler1986: Printing anything?
Aug 2, 2015 5:29 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Not today...shopping for 3d printers for my classroom
Aug 2, 2015 5:30 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Did you get your printer back?
Aug 2, 2015 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Aug 2, 2015 5:36 AM - jbigler1986: I have not got it back yet. Attorney's are playing phone tag with each other all day friday.
Aug 2, 2015 5:37 AM - jbigler1986: Mine is going to hers office tomorrow to get it settled.
Aug 2, 2015 5:37 AM - jbigler1986: Bill. Is that 2.0 in your picture
Aug 2, 2015 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: it might be
Aug 2, 2015 5:52 AM - Bill Monroe: i *can* say that the plane is mine
Aug 2, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: Lol
Aug 2, 2015 6:11 AM - jbigler1986: Hired a model for the day.
Aug 2, 2015 6:12 AM - Bill Monroe: I love that plane, but it's turned into a financial parriah
Aug 2, 2015 8:38 AM - donhuevo: morning
Aug 2, 2015 8:39 AM - Bill Monroe: don
Aug 2, 2015 8:39 AM - donhuevo: howdy bill

Aug 2, 2015 8:42 AM - donhuevo: haha!
Aug 2, 2015 8:50 AM - jbigler1986: Party time
Aug 2, 2015 8:50 AM - jbigler1986: Did tou get your carriage installed
Aug 2, 2015 8:54 AM - jbigler1986: That was at don
Aug 2, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: I didn't. the new carriage is gonna need new idler ends because of where I had to put the belt
Aug 2, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: morning jb
Aug 2, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: scratch that... good afternoon
Aug 2, 2015 9:01 AM - donhuevo: so my youngest dog got a few bee stings the other day. Sad but funny... now every bug that touches him is a bee
Aug 2, 2015 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: Aww poor guy
Aug 2, 2015 9:23 AM - donhuevo: even gnats are scary right now
Aug 2, 2015 9:24 AM - donhuevo: I've never seen bees this aggressive before
Aug 2, 2015 9:38 AM - Bill Monroe: might be mildy africanized
Aug 2, 2015 9:41 AM - donhuevo: could be
Aug 2, 2015 9:47 AM - jbigler1986: African bees are no joke
Aug 2, 2015 9:48 AM - donhuevo: they've strategically placed their nest too so it's next to impossible to squirt anything on it.
Aug 2, 2015 9:53 AM - jbigler1986: Set the tree on fire
Aug 2, 2015 9:53 AM - donhuevo: more like set the concrete porch on fire
Aug 2, 2015 9:55 AM - jbigler1986: Make sure the stream is setup first
Aug 2, 2015 9:56 AM - donhuevo: definitely broadcast-worthy
Aug 2, 2015 9:59 AM - jbigler1986: If i dont have my printer by wednesday night. Im buying another printer
Aug 2, 2015 10:07 AM - Mike Kelly: if they're bees (not horners or wasps) call a local bee keeper, they'll want them
Aug 2, 2015 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: Hey you be quiet. I want to see fire
Aug 2, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: bees are threatened! gotta protect them
Aug 2, 2015 10:14 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.3ders.org//articles/2015...onmentally-friendly-3d-printing-filament.html
Aug 2, 2015 10:14 AM - jbigler1986: I see plenty of bees around. Fire away don
Aug 2, 2015 10:15 AM - jbigler1986: Met the coolest chick ever last night. So im in a great mood today
Aug 2, 2015 10:15 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 is always an upgrade
Aug 2, 2015 10:16 AM - donhuevo: I'm more than willing to protect the mild-mannered honey bees. these bastards have to die
Aug 2, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: My temp spool holder..lol
Aug 2, 2015 10:18 AM - jbigler1986: Nice. You all are welcome for my robo setup that you guys are going to.
Aug 2, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: I want to make it look better when i get it back. Not sure how yet though.
Aug 2, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: Want to hide the spools or something
Aug 2, 2015 10:19 AM - donhuevo: airbrushed flames
Aug 2, 2015 10:20 AM - jbigler1986: Ha. No. Thinking of some way to hide the spools. Might make it look horrible though.
Aug 2, 2015 10:21 AM - jbigler1986: Dont think its possible though
Aug 2, 2015 10:21 AM - Mike Glass: I just needed to this as when you get down to the nitty on these spools it gets really windy and filament can break with using the robo spool.
Aug 2, 2015 10:23 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah i dont like the feeding angle from their spool holder
Aug 2, 2015 10:26 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm putting mine underneath the printer and feeding to the extruder with the same tube as bowden
Aug 2, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Glass: plus it will keep the filament nice and warm
Aug 2, 2015 10:29 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, I was planning on ducting the air in the oven area down through there to keep it dry
Aug 2, 2015 10:30 AM - jbigler1986: Did you make a new idler to run the bowden tube to?
Aug 2, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: If not you should.
Aug 2, 2015 10:32 AM - Bill Monroe: not on the run to the extruder.. just ran the 4mm tube though some aircraft aluminum hydraulic tubing to keep the bends as gradual as possible
Aug 2, 2015 10:34 AM - jbigler1986: How far are ylu running it?
Aug 2, 2015 10:35 AM - Bill Monroe: i'd guess 26-27" or so
Aug 2, 2015 10:36 AM - Bill Monroe: hang on... i'll take a little measure
Aug 2, 2015 10:36 AM - jbigler1986: Hmmm. Trying to picture it
Aug 2, 2015 10:36 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, about 26 inches to the hob
Aug 2, 2015 10:37 AM - Bill Monroe: ever seen the inside of a Stratasys?
Aug 2, 2015 10:38 AM - jbigler1986: I think so. Dont remember what it looked like though
Aug 2, 2015 10:40 AM - Bill Monroe: ok well, the spool in in a cartridge on it's side underneath the work area.. feeds through a tube towards the back, then up and back in horizontally to the head
Aug 2, 2015 10:40 AM - Bill Monroe: they have the hob right at the head feeding horizontally back to front
Aug 2, 2015 10:41 AM - jbigler1986: Gotcha
Aug 2, 2015 10:41 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm doing it the opposite way so the cold section is in the front for easier access, but it's basically the same idea
Aug 2, 2015 10:43 AM - jbigler1986: On the robo or new printer?
Aug 2, 2015 10:44 AM - Bill Monroe: new.
Aug 2, 2015 10:44 AM - Bill Monroe: the robo will be expiring
Aug 2, 2015 10:52 AM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 2, 2015 11:10 AM - jbigler1986: Wow that part looks horrible. Jk
Aug 2, 2015 11:30 AM - jtn7040: has anyone been able to print with a .8 mm nozzle yet? i have one and i have so many issues. infill doesn't print properly adhesion isn't well at all. and temprature can't hold correctly anyone have simlar issues?
Aug 2, 2015 11:35 AM - donhuevo: is that .8 attached to a volcano?
Aug 2, 2015 11:47 AM - Mike Glass: I run a .8 on a hex without any issues.
Aug 2, 2015 11:48 AM - Mike Glass: make sure you change your slicer to use a .8 or you will have infill issues.
Aug 2, 2015 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: .8 on v6 i dont have any issues
Aug 2, 2015 11:51 AM - jbigler1986: Yep. As MG stated. Gott changed a few other settings besides just nozzle size.
Aug 2, 2015 12:24 PM - Mike Kelly: has anyone else printed eric lien's spool holder?
Aug 2, 2015 12:24 PM - donhuevo: I have not
Aug 2, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: ok how about windows 10, anyone make the jump yet?
Aug 2, 2015 12:53 PM - donhuevo: none of my machines has said the install is ready yet
Aug 2, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: i looked into that, you need to be sure to install 2 updates
Aug 2, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: For Windows 7 SP1: KB3035583 KB2952664 For Windows 8.1 Update: KB3035583 KB2976978

 

Aug 2, 2015 12:58 PM - Mike Glass: im downloading the iso, they finally showed up in the portal.
Aug 2, 2015 1:04 PM - jtn7040: yes it's .8 on a stock chimera, and simplify 3d has been updated to reflect the .8 nozzle. however i still have a lot issues on prints, what else do i need to change?
Aug 2, 2015 1:10 PM - Mike Glass: do you have some pictures
Aug 2, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: link mike?
Aug 2, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: whoa
Aug 2, 2015 1:23 PM - Mike Glass: they are kinda slow..lol
Aug 2, 2015 1:28 PM - Mike Glass: I cant link it as it needs a login to access our portal.
Aug 2, 2015 1:29 PM - donhuevo: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Aug 2, 2015 1:31 PM - Mike Glass: mine dont use product keys..heh
Aug 2, 2015 1:31 PM - Mike Glass: Anybody watch john wick yet?
Aug 2, 2015 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: ur face
Aug 2, 2015 1:32 PM - donhuevo: enjoyed the hell out of john wick
Aug 2, 2015 1:33 PM - Mike Glass: watched last night, man that was good.
Aug 2, 2015 1:34 PM - Mike Glass: New spool holder is working great, straight shot now.
Aug 2, 2015 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: i can shoot like that with my eyes closed
Aug 2, 2015 1:42 PM - Mike Glass: we dont want to hear what your shooting with.
Aug 2, 2015 1:45 PM - jbigler1986: didn't say i would hit the targets
Aug 2, 2015 2:11 PM - donhuevo: ok... new plan(s)
Aug 2, 2015 2:11 PM - donhuevo: open builds v-wheels leaving core xy and moving to robo for z movement in lieu of dual smooth rods
Aug 2, 2015 2:12 PM - donhuevo: scrapping the core xy and doing an Igus Eustathios instead
Aug 2, 2015 2:13 PM - Mike Glass: they didnt use igus did they?
Aug 2, 2015 2:14 PM - donhuevo: dunno. that type of xy setup but with Igus bushings and aluminum intersecting rods
Aug 2, 2015 2:15 PM - Mike Glass: aluminum?, that would last long would it?
Aug 2, 2015 2:16 PM - donhuevo: just the two rods that pass through the part that moves because they move too
Aug 2, 2015 2:19 PM - donhuevo: the hot end mount?
Aug 2, 2015 2:21 PM - Mike Glass: haha, I think were both confuseded
Aug 2, 2015 2:23 PM - donhuevo:
Aug 2, 2015 2:27 PM - Mike Glass: I know what the eustathios is and understand it uses brass bushings, but not aluminum rods.
Aug 2, 2015 2:27 PM - donhuevo: then I will stop calling mine by that name.
Aug 2, 2015 2:29 PM - donhuevo: henceforth... huevothios
Aug 2, 2015 2:29 PM - Mike Glass: I like it
Aug 2, 2015 2:30 PM - donhuevo: I'm always trying to cut inertia
Aug 2, 2015 2:31 PM - donhuevo: with the robo, I'm still limited by the glass bed and it's mass
Aug 2, 2015 2:31 PM - Mike Glass: Im telling you just go wireless it cuts down on everything..
Aug 2, 2015 2:32 PM - Mike Glass: The speed of the glass movement I assume.
Aug 2, 2015 2:32 PM - Mike Glass: makes sense I guess.
Aug 2, 2015 2:32 PM - donhuevo: yes. what happens when the bed changes direction
Aug 2, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Glass: it goes the other way
Aug 2, 2015 2:35 PM - donhuevo: it certainly does
Aug 2, 2015 2:35 PM - Mike Glass: haha
Aug 2, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: I would strongly advise against aluminum smooth rods
Aug 2, 2015 2:50 PM - bamhm182: Hey all, how's it going?
Aug 2, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Glass: hay bm
Aug 2, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Glass: bam
Aug 2, 2015 2:50 PM - bamhm182: Printer decided to break in a new and exciting way now. :/
Aug 2, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Glass: oh now
Aug 2, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Glass: what
Aug 2, 2015 2:51 PM - bamhm182: Got my new Mega 2560 and hooked it all up, but the screen just flickers and eventually turns off, then it turns back on when I hit the switch to turn it off
Aug 2, 2015 2:51 PM - bamhm182: It feels like it's being sent too much electricity
Aug 2, 2015 2:52 PM - bamhm182: If I plug it into the usb port, the screen turns on and works fine, it's just when it's powered via the PSU that it screws up
Aug 2, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Glass: yea my cnc one does that, I think I shoerted somethin out on it
Aug 2, 2015 2:53 PM - bamhm182: I was thinking that it was the PSU that may have been messing up, but my multimeter says it's right around 12 volts, so I don't think that's it
Aug 2, 2015 2:53 PM - Mike Glass: no its a voltage regulator or one of the polyfuses
Aug 2, 2015 2:53 PM - donhuevo: bamnit
Aug 2, 2015 2:54 PM - bamhm182: I feel like that's going to be a thing now, don, haha
Aug 2, 2015 2:54 PM - donhuevo: it's a thing with me anyway.
Aug 2, 2015 2:54 PM - donhuevo: it's what you say when you break your printer
Aug 2, 2015 2:55 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, haha
Aug 2, 2015 2:56 PM - bamhm182: What do we say when I finally get it working and don't touch it?
Aug 2, 2015 2:56 PM - Mike Glass: check the poly fuses on the board bam
Aug 2, 2015 2:56 PM - bamhm182: Eh, I wouldn't worry about it, it's not a phrase we're going to hear for a long time anyways.
Aug 2, 2015 2:56 PM - donhuevo: oh, it'll apply to anyone who breaks their own printer
Aug 2, 2015 2:58 PM - donhuevo:
Aug 2, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Glass: crap 30yards of filament per puzzle piece, not sure I have enough on this roll.
Aug 2, 2015 2:59 PM - donhuevo: you have two different 5v sources on the two plugs the LCD uses... check them both to see what they're putting out
Aug 2, 2015 3:00 PM - donhuevo: ignore the highlighting... it's from something else
Aug 2, 2015 3:03 PM - Mike Glass: the lcd works with the usb, so wouldnt it be a regulator or fuse issue, not sure?
Aug 2, 2015 3:04 PM - donhuevo: the usb puts out 5v but I'm curious what those pins supplying the LCD are putting out when the power supply is on
Aug 2, 2015 3:05 PM - bamhm182: Plugged into the PSU, I'm getting 3.4 volts off of those two pins
Aug 2, 2015 3:05 PM - bamhm182: Still looking into checking the polyfuses
Aug 2, 2015 3:06 PM - donhuevo: what are those same pins reading with PSU off and USB connected?
Aug 2, 2015 3:06 PM - Mike Glass: well if you get voltage the polyfuse is good. regulator is effed I bet.
Aug 2, 2015 3:07 PM - donhuevo: except the regulator is on the mega
Aug 2, 2015 3:07 PM - bamhm182: Let me run by you what I tried to do to test the polyfuses so you can tell me if I did it right
Aug 2, 2015 3:08 PM - bamhm182: I plugged the RAMPS into all 4 PSU leads, then turned my multimeter to read the voltage and turned on the power. Held the multimeter to both sides of the polyfuse and got 0 volts
Aug 2, 2015 3:08 PM - Mike Glass: 3.4 volts lol
Aug 2, 2015 3:09 PM - donhuevo: polyfuse is like a switch. you need each side of polyfuse to ground
Aug 2, 2015 3:09 PM - Mike Glass: just shut it off and meassure ohms
Aug 2, 2015 3:09 PM - Mike Glass: or continuity
Aug 2, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Glass: did you repace both the mega and ramps?
Aug 2, 2015 3:11 PM - bamhm182: Plugged it into the USB and it's getting 5v off those pins
Aug 2, 2015 3:11 PM - bamhm182: I just replaced the mega
Aug 2, 2015 3:12 PM - bamhm182: Since the only issues I was having is that I could no longer use the USB port on my mega
Aug 2, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: for some reason, the mega isn't putting out the 5V it's supposed to
Aug 2, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: 3.3 instead. weird
Aug 2, 2015 3:13 PM - bamhm182: The polyfuses seem good
Aug 2, 2015 3:13 PM - bamhm182: I'm going to plug it back into my old mega and see what it does
Aug 2, 2015 3:17 PM - bamhm182: My old mega gives both of them the 5V they want
Aug 2, 2015 3:17 PM - donhuevo: I'm wondering if they put the wrong regulator on the new mega
Aug 2, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Glass: its a firmware issue is what I just found. http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?13,455849
Aug 2, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Glass: which dont make sense really but ok
Aug 2, 2015 3:19 PM - bamhm182: They're both the same firmware
Aug 2, 2015 3:19 PM - bamhm182: Going to reflash it for S&Gs
Aug 2, 2015 3:21 PM - donhuevo: whatever you do, don't bamnit all to hell
Aug 2, 2015 3:24 PM - bamhm182: Eh, if I do, I have one of those AIO Sainsmart boards that I can move onto a break
Aug 2, 2015 3:27 PM - bamhm182: *and break
Aug 2, 2015 3:29 PM - donhuevo: k but lets not break any more stuff
Aug 2, 2015 3:30 PM - bamhm182: Now that's going to be a challenge, but let's see how this plays out, haha
Aug 2, 2015 3:33 PM - donhuevo: let's try and move from bamnit to bam straight
Aug 2, 2015 3:34 PM - bamhm182: Hahaha, yes!

 

Aug 2, 2015 3:37 PM - bamhm182: I'm going to go ahead and say something on this mega 2560 is broken
Aug 2, 2015 3:38 PM - bamhm182: Since the only thing that was broken on my old mega 2560 was the serial connection, which only mattered because I didn't have any DRV8825s left, I think I'm going to try and use the old mega 2560
Aug 2, 2015 3:42 PM - donhuevo: it's not broken, just supplying 3.3v instead of 5v. If you don't need the LCD to print, you're ok to go
Aug 2, 2015 3:43 PM - Mike Glass: so what can be replaced on the board to fix?
Aug 2, 2015 3:44 PM - donhuevo: http://www.instructables.com/id/Fix-a-fried-Arduino-Mega/
Aug 2, 2015 3:46 PM - bamhm182: The LCD is more important to me than the USB
Aug 2, 2015 3:48 PM - donhuevo: you can always return the new one for a replacement too
Aug 2, 2015 3:49 PM - bamhm182: True
Aug 2, 2015 3:49 PM - bamhm182: I feel like it is my regulator
Aug 2, 2015 3:50 PM - donhuevo: you can double-check that by powering just the arduino and testing it's 5v pin
Aug 2, 2015 3:50 PM - bamhm182: On that article you linked, don, it said on a working board, there is no continuity between pins 1 and 2, but when I check it, the multimeter is jumping around
Aug 2, 2015 3:52 PM - donhuevo: weird
Aug 2, 2015 3:52 PM - bamhm182: I'm getting 5v out of the 5v header
Aug 2, 2015 3:52 PM - donhuevo: if you can run off the original for now, get an RMA for the new one
Aug 2, 2015 3:53 PM - bamhm182: Oh, you kinow what, looking at the regulator, I can actually see that it is physically screwed up
Aug 2, 2015 3:53 PM - donhuevo: don't even think about harvesting the regulator off the old board
Aug 2, 2015 3:53 PM - donhuevo: don't do it
Aug 2, 2015 3:54 PM - donhuevo: get it right out of your bam head
Aug 2, 2015 3:55 PM - bamhm182: Wasn't in my head
Aug 2, 2015 3:55 PM - bamhm182: Although now that you mention it
Aug 2, 2015 3:55 PM - bamhm182: Juuuust kidding
Aug 2, 2015 3:56 PM - Mike Glass: so you get 5 volts off the mega regulator?
Aug 2, 2015 3:57 PM - bamhm182: Let me check
Aug 2, 2015 4:03 PM - bamhm182: With USB, it looks like it's 5v in and 0v out
Aug 2, 2015 4:04 PM - donhuevo: give it 12v dc with a transformer then measure it's 5v pins
Aug 2, 2015 4:06 PM - bamhm182: Turns out I was reading it wrong. It had 5v in and 5v out over usb
Aug 2, 2015 4:06 PM - donhuevo: usb is 5v
Aug 2, 2015 4:06 PM - bamhm182: yeah
Aug 2, 2015 4:07 PM - bamhm182: I don't know how to give it 12 volts and still be able to read the regulator
Aug 2, 2015 4:08 PM - donhuevo:
Aug 2, 2015 4:09 PM - Mike Glass: I have a 9 volt one for mine.
Aug 2, 2015 4:10 PM - donhuevo: that'll work too
Aug 2, 2015 4:10 PM - donhuevo: my hunch is we'll see 3.3 at the 5v arduino pin
Aug 2, 2015 4:10 PM - bamhm182: Let me see if I can find something
Aug 2, 2015 4:10 PM - donhuevo: just make sure it's + on the inside and - outside
Aug 2, 2015 4:11 PM - donhuevo: and DC and no more than 12V
Aug 2, 2015 4:17 PM - Printed Solid: are any of you guys avid ebay sellers? I've got a printer I want to get rid of and want to know when the best time to list it is
Aug 2, 2015 4:20 PM - bamhm182: I have nothing
Aug 2, 2015 4:20 PM - bamhm182: I'm guessing that you're going to want it to end at a time that most people would be home from work
Aug 2, 2015 4:21 PM - bamhm182: But not too late that people would be sleeping
Aug 2, 2015 4:22 PM - bamhm182: 10 PM EST should put you at 6 PM PST, so I'd say sometime around there
Aug 2, 2015 4:22 PM - bamhm182: Most people are willing to stay up until 10 PM, and that should give you descent coverage across America
Aug 2, 2015 4:23 PM - Printed Solid: ya. I'm thinking 10pm eastern on sunday.
Aug 2, 2015 4:23 PM - bamhm182: sounds good to me
Aug 2, 2015 4:24 PM - Printed Solid: you never know with this shoutbox. Someone might jump in that is an ebay superguru lol
Aug 2, 2015 4:30 PM - bamhm182: Alright, so I ended up saying screw trying to find a wall wart and hooked it up to my bench PSU
Aug 2, 2015 4:31 PM - bamhm182: Got 3.4v out of the 5v pin
Aug 2, 2015 4:31 PM - bamhm182: I'm thinking it is definitely this regulator
Aug 2, 2015 4:31 PM - donhuevo: yep
Aug 2, 2015 4:31 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, that is true, we are a pretty diverse group on nerds
Aug 2, 2015 4:31 PM - donhuevo: send it back
Aug 2, 2015 4:32 PM - bamhm182: Yeah
Aug 2, 2015 4:33 PM - bamhm182: Then again, I'd have to pay shipping and this board was like $10
Aug 2, 2015 4:33 PM - Mike Glass: you can get a new board for like $12..lol
Aug 2, 2015 4:33 PM - donhuevo: or that
Aug 2, 2015 4:34 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, haha
Aug 2, 2015 4:34 PM - Mike Glass: they are disposable i guess
Aug 2, 2015 4:36 PM - Mike Glass: bam did you see my new spool holder?
Aug 2, 2015 4:37 PM - bamhm182: I guess in the mean time, I've got a mega 2560 that works with the DRV8825s, which I have 6 of now and I have an arduino that I can power off of 5v for whatever else I want to play with
Aug 2, 2015 4:37 PM - bamhm182: No I haven't
Aug 2, 2015 4:37 PM - Mike Glass: scroll up to 11:17 in the chat.
Aug 2, 2015 4:38 PM - bamhm182: Oh, and I also have that Sainsmart AIO, so I think what I'm going to do is use the one with the bad USB to print out a mounting bracket for the AIO
Aug 2, 2015 4:39 PM - bamhm182: Then redo the wiring on the Robo so it looks better and just use the AIO
Aug 2, 2015 4:40 PM - bamhm182: That looks pretty sweet. My only questions are how big is that spool, it looks enormous. Also, why not center it over the Robo?
Aug 2, 2015 4:49 PM - Mike Glass: its centered enought I cant move the robo back anymore, and just a piece I had laying around, its just a 2.2lb roll, just a temp solution till I go bowden.
Aug 2, 2015 4:50 PM - donhuevo: what's taking so long on the bowden?
Aug 2, 2015 4:54 PM - donhuevo: for that matter, what's taking so long on the response?
Aug 2, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: lol, Im working on an anniversary gift..
Aug 2, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: I need a geared stepper for bowden
Aug 2, 2015 5:07 PM - donhuevo: isn't this one coming up the PTFE anniversary?
Aug 2, 2015 5:08 PM - donhuevo: or is it crystal. I can never remember
Aug 2, 2015 5:08 PM - donhuevo: no wait... it's the hackberry anniversary
Aug 2, 2015 5:08 PM - bamhm182: This just never ends...
Aug 2, 2015 5:09 PM - bamhm182: When I had the old mega and the RAMPS out of the printer and connected, the LCD screen would display things when powered by USB
Aug 2, 2015 5:09 PM - bamhm182: Now that it's in the printer, it won't
Aug 2, 2015 5:11 PM - donhuevo: bam you
Aug 2, 2015 5:12 PM - Mike Glass: its a steel anniversary
Aug 2, 2015 5:12 PM - donhuevo: are you SURE it's not PTFE
Aug 2, 2015 5:12 PM - Mike Glass: well thats what im telling her that she bought me..lol
Aug 2, 2015 5:13 PM - donhuevo: haha
Aug 2, 2015 5:18 PM - Mike Glass: I didnt even print anything yesterday, but now with the new spool I cranked out 2 pieces without failure.
Aug 2, 2015 5:18 PM - donhuevo: it's a puzzle
Aug 2, 2015 5:18 PM - Mike Glass: yes it is. on the 13th piece now
Aug 2, 2015 5:19 PM - Mike Glass: 79 to go
Aug 2, 2015 5:19 PM - Mike Glass: er 69
Aug 2, 2015 5:19 PM - Mike Glass: all running at 80mm/s
Aug 2, 2015 5:20 PM - donhuevo: maybe by next anniversary?
Aug 2, 2015 5:24 PM - bamhm182: Decided I would just have a go at putting the sainsmart board in, but if you notice, they have 4 jumpers for the microsteppers. I'm thinking I'm going to go into this with the mindset of "All 4 is 1/32 microsteps"
Aug 2, 2015 5:24 PM - bamhm182:
Aug 2, 2015 5:25 PM - donhuevo: is that what the documentation says? 1/32?
Aug 2, 2015 5:26 PM - bamhm182: Can't find any documentation
Aug 2, 2015 5:26 PM - bamhm182: http://rigidtalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=SainSmart_2in1
Aug 2, 2015 5:26 PM - bamhm182: Nevermind
Aug 2, 2015 5:28 PM - bamhm182: It still only mentions the 3 sets of pins
Aug 2, 2015 5:28 PM - bamhm182: Alright, it says the 4th pin is unused
Aug 2, 2015 5:29 PM - donhuevo: yep. just found that
Aug 2, 2015 5:37 PM - bamhm182: Do you happen to know why there are two 12v leads going to the original RAMPS?
Aug 2, 2015 5:38 PM - bamhm182: I've only got one connector for power on this board, and I'm trying to decide if I should plug both of them into it or just one
Aug 2, 2015 5:38 PM - bamhm182: I'm thinking the best idea would be to give it one and see how that works
Aug 2, 2015 5:40 PM - bamhm182: Nevermind, turns out one if 11 Amps, and one is 5 Amps

 

Aug 2, 2015 5:40 PM - bamhm182: I wonder if that could be what one of my problems was. I thought they were both the same...
Aug 2, 2015 5:41 PM - jbigler1986: boom
Aug 2, 2015 5:41 PM - bamhm182: Hey jb
Aug 2, 2015 5:41 PM - jbigler1986: what's up
Aug 2, 2015 5:42 PM - jbigler1986: holy shit it's almost 9
Aug 2, 2015 5:43 PM - bamhm182: Not much, and yup
Aug 2, 2015 5:43 PM - jbigler1986: get things running?
Aug 2, 2015 5:52 PM - bamhm182: Not yet
Aug 2, 2015 5:52 PM - bamhm182: About to go see if I can plug this All in One board in
Aug 2, 2015 5:54 PM - jbigler1986: what board?
Aug 2, 2015 5:55 PM - donhuevo: http://rigidtalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=SainSmart_2in1
Aug 2, 2015 5:56 PM - jbigler1986: looks nice
Aug 2, 2015 6:04 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, should allow for much better cable management too
Aug 2, 2015 6:07 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/rWNjGA1 actuator in place
Aug 2, 2015 6:09 PM - jbigler1986: what was wrong with the previous bed?
Aug 2, 2015 6:10 PM - toy: i can use a bigger bed
Aug 2, 2015 6:11 PM - jbigler1986: gotcha. didn't know if you had an issue with the other one
Aug 2, 2015 6:12 PM - toy: and i wanted to test a ballscrew out
Aug 2, 2015 6:12 PM - toy: i can print about 10 x 16
Aug 2, 2015 6:13 PM - toy: i still need to take dial indicator to it.... i need to make a mount tonight
Aug 2, 2015 6:14 PM - toy: the titanium is plate is really flat...i put the nozzle barely above the plate and moved it to all 4 corner.... looks really good by my eyes
Aug 2, 2015 6:16 PM - Mike Glass: nice Toy
Aug 2, 2015 6:16 PM - toy: i need to make a mounting bracket for the stepper to attach to the actuator
Aug 2, 2015 6:16 PM - Mike Glass: HfnC's though..lol
Aug 2, 2015 6:17 PM - toy: thx, hopefully i will be printing by tonight
Aug 2, 2015 6:17 PM - toy: i know... china screwed me, but these arnt toooo bad
Aug 2, 2015 6:17 PM - toy: very mininal wobble and 4 sets screws to hold the shaft
Aug 2, 2015 6:17 PM - Mike Glass: curious how fast you can go though, looks promising. I like it
Aug 2, 2015 6:18 PM - toy: its rock solid... u can take a bat to it ...lol
Aug 2, 2015 6:18 PM - Mike Glass: yea doubt you get any movement two smooth rods like that.. damn
Aug 2, 2015 6:18 PM - toy: and the frame is really really strong (8020)
Aug 2, 2015 6:19 PM - Mike Glass: how tall can you print?
Aug 2, 2015 6:19 PM - toy: about the same as the robo
Aug 2, 2015 6:20 PM - toy: 250ish i think
Aug 2, 2015 6:21 PM - toy: i plan on making it taller eventuality once i get it all dialed in and dual printing, etc
Aug 2, 2015 6:21 PM - toy: lesson learned lol
Aug 2, 2015 6:23 PM - Mike Glass: Im printing a chair now.
Aug 2, 2015 6:23 PM - Mike Glass: alot of pieces
Aug 2, 2015 7:21 PM - Bill Monroe: holy crap that's a coarse ball drive pitch
Aug 2, 2015 7:39 PM - toy: 20mm pitch
Aug 2, 2015 7:47 PM - bamhm182: So I got that Sainsmart All-In-One board working, so now I'm just back to my problem of driver calibration
Aug 2, 2015 7:49 PM - jbigler1986: Turn them down until the stepper skips. Then turn it up a tiny bit
Aug 2, 2015 7:56 PM - jbigler1986: And completely pull the power while adjusting if you need to
Aug 2, 2015 8:34 PM - donhuevo: better to use the ceramic screwdriver while the steppers are running
Aug 2, 2015 8:36 PM - Mike Glass: I tuned my with a metal one with a clip from the multimeter, to see the voltage

 

Aug 2, 2015 9:35 PM - bamhm182: Alright, so I think everything is good, I just have a new different problem (surprise surprise)
Aug 2, 2015 9:36 PM - bamhm182: The heat cartridge on my extruder never turns off
Aug 2, 2015 9:36 PM - bamhm182: The heat bed works just fine, but the extruder goes up to the 195 that I ask it to, then just keeps going and going
Aug 2, 2015 9:36 PM - bamhm182: Luckily I caught it before it did any harm, but I suspect it would never shut off until something broke if I were to let it
Aug 2, 2015 9:39 PM - bamhm182: It looks like the board may be labeled wrong. I'm going to see what happens if I move the thermistor to the T2 pins instead of T0
Aug 2, 2015 10:13 PM - toy: thats sucks
Aug 2, 2015 10:13 PM - toy: maybe u can make a firmware change also
Aug 2, 2015 10:54 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, I probably could and will probably end up taking a look at that, for now, using T2 works
Aug 2, 2015 10:56 PM - bamhm182: Now I'm running into yet another weird random problem that I've never seen before. The cables going to the bed are binding up and not going down the hole like they should be. That's probably just due to how I have the cables run right now. I'll have to play around with this some
Aug 2, 2015 11:00 PM - bamhm182: Also, for some reason my parts fan isn't kicking on even though my LCD screen says it should be at 255
Aug 2, 2015 11:07 PM - bamhm182: I may just hook the parts fan directly to an always on 12V pin. Can't really see that causing too many big issues since I always have it on for everything other than the first layer anyways
Aug 2, 2015 11:17 PM - bamhm182: So how I had thought that E0 and E1 were switched, it turns out that E1 is E0, and E0 is Fan. I'm assuming Fan is E1, but I haven't looked into it
Aug 2, 2015 11:21 PM - toy: nice, at least u got the extruder firing up under control now
Aug 2, 2015 11:22 PM - toy: i hooked a dial indicator up and got about +/- .001 across the y-axis
Aug 2, 2015 11:23 PM - bamhm182: Nice
Aug 2, 2015 11:23 PM - bamhm182: I really need to get a dial indicator
Aug 2, 2015 11:23 PM - toy: i paid almost 200 for this one
Aug 2, 2015 11:23 PM - toy: buy once cry once is my motto lol
Aug 2, 2015 11:24 PM - bamhm182: Damn, I've been putting off buying a $20 one, haha
Aug 2, 2015 11:24 PM - toy: i still need to attach the plate to the actuator lol... so my readings are probably off some
Aug 2, 2015 11:25 PM - toy: its just resting on it... so im not sure how much the pressure of the dial is pushing on the balanced plate
Aug 2, 2015 11:27 PM - toy: i got a pretty good way of tramming it.... i use 1x2x4 blocks on each side and lower the x-axis until it resting on top of the blocks
Aug 2, 2015 11:27 PM - toy: so once i have my x-axis leveled trammed to the base plate.... i use the dial indicator in 1 corner...(zero it out) than go to all 4 corners
Aug 2, 2015 11:28 PM - toy: shim where needed
Aug 2, 2015 11:30 PM - toy: before i made the mistake of leveling the nozzle to the bed... ( how do u know the bed is level), so know i tram the nozzle to the base plate first
Aug 2, 2015 11:32 PM - bamhm182: I've always just hoped that everything levels itself out. That's probably a terrible way to go about things though
Aug 2, 2015 11:33 PM - bamhm182: Every once in a while, I will raise the carriage all the way to the top, then spin the two rods until the same amount is poking out the top
Aug 2, 2015 11:34 PM - toy: maybe u should try lowering it onto something sitting on the base plate instead
Aug 2, 2015 11:36 PM - toy: u could probably print 2 blocks, put them on the base plate, then lower it until the plastic pieces touch the blocks
Aug 2, 2015 11:36 PM - toy: i hope that makes sense
Aug 2, 2015 11:37 PM - toy: do u still have couplers?
Aug 2, 2015 11:42 PM - bamhm182: I get what you're saying, and yes I do still have my couplers
Aug 2, 2015 11:42 PM - bamhm182: Thinking I should try to use those to level it?
Aug 2, 2015 11:43 PM - toy: no, by going off the top... how do u know your robs are the same length, or they are seated the same on both sides
Aug 2, 2015 11:43 PM - toy: rods
Aug 2, 2015 11:52 PM - bamhm182: Oh, I thought you meant if I still had my couplers around, no if I still had them on my Robo
Aug 2, 2015 11:52 PM - bamhm182: I did the upgrade
Aug 2, 2015 11:53 PM - bamhm182: I used the couplers to level my printer just now and it was WAY off
Aug 2, 2015 11:53 PM - bamhm182: Well, not really WAY off, but it definitely wasn't even
Aug 2, 2015 11:53 PM - toy: do u have calipers ?
Aug 2, 2015 11:54 PM - toy: make sure the couplers are the same height or use the same one for both sides
Aug 2, 2015 11:56 PM - bamhm182: I do have capilers, but I can't quite grasp the best way to use them to check if the bed is level
Aug 2, 2015 11:57 PM - bamhm182: Just using 1 wasn't tall enough, so I ended up just stacking the two of them and measuring that way
Aug 2, 2015 11:59 PM - toy: do your calipers have the depth guage that comes out the bottom?
Aug 3, 2015 12:01 AM - toy: u could rest the bottom of the calipers on the x-axis smooth rods and measure to the base plate
Aug 3, 2015 12:01 AM - toy: using the depth gauge
Aug 3, 2015 12:06 AM - bamhm182: I'll give that a try
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 AM - bamhm182: Seemed to work pretty well
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 AM - bamhm182:
Aug 3, 2015 12:37 AM - bamhm182: I'm going to have to rename my printer Robostein
Aug 3, 2015 1:57 AM - bamhm182: About time!!! Haha
Aug 3, 2015 1:57 AM - bamhm182: Now I just have to leave it as it is pictured above forever and never think about touching it again
Aug 3, 2015 2:06 AM - bamhm182: http://makezine.com/2015/04/30/turn-dremel-tool-plastic-welder/
Aug 3, 2015 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Aug 3, 2015 5:01 AM - Printed Solid: not bad bam. I've done the dremel repair thing. Works well with 3mm filament
Aug 3, 2015 5:17 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Aug 3, 2015 5:20 AM - jbigler1986: why the picture change?
Aug 3, 2015 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 asked me to
Aug 3, 2015 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: fair enough
Aug 3, 2015 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: that's a good reason
Aug 3, 2015 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: she gets pretty much everything she askes for
Aug 3, 2015 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: i bet you do to then
Aug 3, 2015 5:29 AM - Bill Monroe: how you holding up?
Aug 3, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: great. still don't have any of my stuff. custody isn't set yet. However. Got a new place i'm moving into soon and i met an amazing women.
Aug 3, 2015 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: great! watchout for rebound issues...
Aug 3, 2015 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: i wrote a pre-print gcode script to replace the autolevel until the repair parts arrive.. it's now printing better than it ever has before
Aug 3, 2015 5:38 AM - Bill Monroe: wierd thing though... I made a 50mm square model to calibrate my X & Y.. it was practically perfect. but when I print a 50mm circle, Y is .15mm smaller than X
Aug 3, 2015 5:41 AM - jbigler1986: that's weird. what does the pre-print code do differenct
Aug 3, 2015 5:42 AM - Bill Monroe: well, theres no autolever for one, so there's no Z swtich compensation.. had to do it differently
Aug 3, 2015 5:42 AM - donhuevo: it may be that the set screw on the y geared pulley isn't tight
Aug 3, 2015 5:42 AM - donhuevo: or the y steps are a little off
Aug 3, 2015 5:42 AM - Bill Monroe: it's not magic just a different process.. have to paper level first but only the first time
Aug 3, 2015 5:43 AM - jbigler1986: i usually paper level anyways
Aug 3, 2015 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe: Y steps are same but if they were off the swuare should be off too
Aug 3, 2015 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe: square

Aug 3, 2015 5:43 AM - donhuevo: if you're lucky enough to have the removable bed then the set screw is no problem to check
Aug 3, 2015 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: i do have the magnetic base
Aug 3, 2015 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm sure it's OK, with the square being the same and all
Aug 3, 2015 5:44 AM - JeffTheMess: morning robonauts happy monday
Aug 3, 2015 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: Jeff
Aug 3, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: yeah the ribbon cable makes it a pain in the ass to move though
Aug 3, 2015 5:46 AM - jbigler1986: i need to put a connector on it to make it easy to remove
Aug 3, 2015 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm just gunna live with it.. I'll wait for the new printer to be finished
Aug 3, 2015 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: I thought it might be fun to bust out my SCARA and hang on V6 on it.. becuase I'm a masochist and all...
Aug 3, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: get crazy with it
Aug 3, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: morning don and jeff

Aug 3, 2015 6:01 AM - jbigler1986: good. work is madness. you?
Aug 3, 2015 6:14 AM - JeffTheMess: not to bad my hobbed bolt was a killer, so I found out if the spool is too heavy it can cause problems at the bolt
Aug 3, 2015 6:14 AM - JeffTheMess: i love old training videos
Aug 3, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: pretty awesome video actually
Aug 3, 2015 6:18 AM - JeffTheMess: it really is

Aug 3, 2015 6:32 AM - Bill Monroe: dont have a pic.. i can take one later, gotta get it out of the safe..
Aug 3, 2015 6:32 AM - Bill Monroe: it looks like a generic .22 taget rifle really.. bolt, heavy barrel, large stock.. 9.5 pounds if i recall..
Aug 3, 2015 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: the team had army issue rifles.. marlins I think.. worked ok but I couldnt get a decent score during tryouts.. asked the SGT if I could bring mine and retry, made the team
Aug 3, 2015 6:34 AM - JeffTheMess: I just like them quality of them
Aug 3, 2015 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: i know.. just sliding the bolt told you everything
Aug 3, 2015 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: Mossberg.. that's what the army issued
Aug 3, 2015 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: i bought three of them from the CMP a few years back.. fine rifle but I just did better with the Stevens
Aug 3, 2015 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: M44US
Aug 3, 2015 6:43 AM - jbigler1986: how is your son doing in the civilian world
Aug 3, 2015 7:04 AM - jbigler1986: http://concreteprinter.tumblr.com/
Aug 3, 2015 7:09 AM - JeffTheMess: wonder how the concrete is made that wouldn't hold up right with normal concrete, right?
Aug 3, 2015 7:12 AM - Mike Glass: I need to make one of those, I could make some cool yard decor.
Aug 3, 2015 7:13 AM - JeffTheMess: morning Mike
Aug 3, 2015 7:13 AM - Mike Glass: whats up jeff
Aug 3, 2015 7:14 AM - JeffTheMess: living life at 60mm/s
Aug 3, 2015 7:17 AM - jbigler1986: no printer talk allowed. i'm jealous and hate you all
Aug 3, 2015 7:18 AM - JeffTheMess: noted
Aug 3, 2015 7:18 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Aug 3, 2015 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: this isn't a 3d printer form is it?
Aug 3, 2015 7:20 AM - Mike Glass: Im livin at 80mm/s these days with perfection..heh, love the new lead screws btw.
Aug 3, 2015 7:20 AM - jbigler1986: took you long enough to upgrade
Aug 3, 2015 7:20 AM - jbigler1986:
Aug 3, 2015 7:21 AM - daniel871: I may be living at some speed once I get the bed replaced. Had an even bigger chunk of glass come up over the weekend, to the point where I'm not going to bother attempting to print anything until that is fixed.
Aug 3, 2015 7:22 AM - daniel871: Basically anywhere that the "R" for Robo is located has shed glass.
Aug 3, 2015 7:22 AM - JeffTheMess: don't care about speed, just need good prints, i'm printing a 12 hour job now
Aug 3, 2015 7:22 AM - JeffTheMess: what happened?
Aug 3, 2015 7:22 AM - jbigler1986: i am not careful at all with mine and have yet to have that
Aug 3, 2015 7:23 AM - jbigler1986: guess i'm lucky
Aug 3, 2015 7:23 AM - daniel871: Bad glass is all I can figure.
Aug 3, 2015 7:23 AM - Mike Glass: thats why im using tape now dan.
Aug 3, 2015 7:23 AM - daniel871: Jerry told me that trying to put a smooth first layer down breaks the glass, which is bullshit according to everything anyone here and on any other forum says about it, but whatever.
Aug 3, 2015 7:24 AM - Mike Glass: what are you suppose to have a non-smooth layer.. wtf
Aug 3, 2015 7:24 AM - daniel871: Apparently.
Aug 3, 2015 7:24 AM - daniel871: Or Raft everything.
Aug 3, 2015 7:24 AM - daniel871: And then post-process it off.
Aug 3, 2015 7:26 AM - Mike Glass: I have a piece of glass im removing from an old bed scanner and going to use that on top for prints I need a smooth bottom.
Aug 3, 2015 7:26 AM - jbigler1986: yeah that's what you want with first layer. not sure why he told you that
Aug 3, 2015 7:27 AM - daniel871: Bullshit avoiding a warranty replacment is what I gathered, there was some language in there about "we only warranty beds that were damaged in shipment" and a bunch of other similar stuff in there.
Aug 3, 2015 7:32 AM - jbigler1986: they sent me one for $30. I told them mine wasn't damaged or anything. I just wanted a spare.
Aug 3, 2015 7:49 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Aug 3, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: you can try that daniel. just to see what they say
Aug 3, 2015 7:52 AM - daniel871: $40, no reply since I asked how I could go about actually purchasing it.
Aug 3, 2015 7:53 AM - daniel871: Last Friday, but they probably hadn't checked emails yet.
Aug 3, 2015 7:54 AM - jbigler1986: they will send you a paypal invoice
Aug 3, 2015 8:09 AM - daniel871:
Aug 3, 2015 8:18 AM - JeffTheMess: AMERRRica
Aug 3, 2015 8:19 AM - daniel871: That guy is hilarious.
Aug 3, 2015 8:24 AM - Mike Kelly: howdy
Aug 3, 2015 8:27 AM - jbigler1986: hello
Aug 3, 2015 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: why's it gotta be monday
Aug 3, 2015 8:29 AM - jbigler1986: i'm in a good mood. sooooo
Aug 3, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: heh
Aug 3, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: honestly simplify3d supports > dual extrusion
Aug 3, 2015 8:31 AM - jbigler1986: can you add a stick about checking the ramps fan if having print issues
Aug 3, 2015 8:32 AM - jbigler1986: unless you want dual color
Aug 3, 2015 8:34 AM - jbigler1986: i have seen the ramps fan issue so much lately
Aug 3, 2015 8:42 AM - Mike Glass: I just got a 60mm fan for my ramps
Aug 3, 2015 8:43 AM - Mike Glass: add some stability to your new printer build. http://reprap.org/wiki/Avery
Aug 3, 2015 9:02 AM - JeffTheMess: does anyone add fans to their power supply?
Aug 3, 2015 9:03 AM - JeffTheMess: i replaced my dead power supply ripped out the fan, still works want to put it to good use
Aug 3, 2015 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: it just needs replaced. it's loud as hell. MG uplugged his and added a new one to the outside I believe
Aug 3, 2015 9:06 AM - JeffTheMess: I might do the same, can't believe it hasn't been a year yet and had to replace it
Aug 3, 2015 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: i would just replace the one inside the psu. that's just me though
Aug 3, 2015 9:16 AM - JeffTheMess: https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/stratolaunch-soon-largest-plane-world-133041433.html
Aug 3, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: I flipped the psu and put a bigger quieter fan on the outside the case, also have to cut out the metal grill, thats where all the noise comes from.
Aug 3, 2015 9:38 AM - JeffTheMess: which fan did you use?
Aug 3, 2015 9:39 AM - Bill Monroe: that's a big plane
Aug 3, 2015 9:46 AM - JeffTheMess: its huge
Aug 3, 2015 9:47 AM - Bill Monroe: I dunno.. Paul Allen has a history of funding stuff that ulitmately fails... time will tell
Aug 3, 2015 9:48 AM - Mike Glass: I used a noctua 60x25
Aug 3, 2015 9:49 AM - Mike Glass: they are like $14 right now on amazon.
Aug 3, 2015 9:49 AM - Mike Glass: You need big feet under the robo though at least a 1 1/2 - 2" lift
Aug 3, 2015 9:54 AM - jbigler1986: so is it the grill or the fan itself inside the psu that is making the noise?
Aug 3, 2015 9:58 AM - Mike Glass: the grill
Aug 3, 2015 9:58 AM - jbigler1986: wonder how many satellites are in orbit
Aug 3, 2015 9:58 AM - Mike Glass: the fan by itself is not bad
Aug 3, 2015 9:58 AM - Mike Glass: mine was bad however, it would squeal until I smacked it
Aug 3, 2015 9:59 AM - jbigler1986: 2271 satellites in orbit.
Aug 3, 2015 10:08 AM - jbigler1986: How is the chair coming along?
Aug 3, 2015 10:17 AM - Bill Monroe: heh.. guy was just flying is huge 8 rotor drone annoying everyone in the neighborhood.. just fly into an ash tree and it's stuck.. i'd say 60 feet up and fenced
Aug 3, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: 2 rows done, more filament comming today, ran out.
Aug 3, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: haha, parts?
Aug 3, 2015 10:17 AM - Bill Monroe: i hope so.. but not for me..
Aug 3, 2015 10:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm sure he'll try to retrieve it.. i'm watcing to see if he hops the fence..
Aug 3, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Kelly: let's see a pic mike
Aug 3, 2015 10:25 AM - Mike Glass:
Aug 3, 2015 10:25 AM - bamhm182: Hey everyone
Aug 3, 2015 10:25 AM - Mike Glass: I cant put it all together yet, you have to start from the middle and work your way out I guess.
Aug 3, 2015 10:25 AM - Mike Glass: whad up Bam
Aug 3, 2015 10:26 AM - Mike Glass: 30 yards of filament per piece.

 

Aug 3, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Glass: well the smaller pieces take that much.
Aug 3, 2015 10:28 AM - jbigler1986: what infill
Aug 3, 2015 10:28 AM - bamhm182: Looks pretty cool, MG. What is it being held together with?
Aug 3, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Glass: 22%
Aug 3, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: random number. lol
Aug 3, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Glass: They are held simply like a puzzle, but the are angled to be able to distribute the weight, but they do recommend plastic glue.
Aug 3, 2015 10:32 AM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:932287
Aug 3, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Glass: I probably could of done 15 but it was the recommended on a UM
Aug 3, 2015 10:32 AM - bamhm182: Huh... Not what I thought it was at first glance
Aug 3, 2015 10:39 AM - Mike Kelly: why do you keep using yards
Aug 3, 2015 10:40 AM - jbigler1986: i have had enough of spreadsheets for the day. holy hell
Aug 3, 2015 10:57 AM - Mike Glass: what do you want MM,IN,FT, I can visualize 30yards alot better then 27,432mm.
Aug 3, 2015 10:58 AM - Bill Monroe: Leagues.. I like Leagues
Aug 3, 2015 11:00 AM - Mike Glass: ok bill it uses 0.00493736501 leagues of filament..lol
Aug 3, 2015 11:00 AM - Bill Monroe: wow, about as far as I can throw a football
Aug 3, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Glass: or how about this. 2.7432 × 1013 picometers
Aug 3, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Glass: 10 to the 13x doh
Aug 3, 2015 11:03 AM - Bill Monroe: naw 4.93 X 10 -3 leagues.. that's steampunk
Aug 3, 2015 11:05 AM - Bill Monroe: my truck gets 7 miles/gal
Aug 3, 2015 11:05 AM - Bill Monroe: nono 7 leagues
Aug 3, 2015 11:07 AM - bamhm182: 0.0170454545 miles
Aug 3, 2015 11:07 AM - bamhm182: Or 0.027432 km for our friends across the pond
Aug 3, 2015 11:14 AM - Mike Glass: hah, just got my transparent orange filament in.
Aug 3, 2015 11:19 AM - Blake Benefield: Now he's gonna set things on fire and blame the filament
Aug 3, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:930577 must make
Aug 3, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: Hey arent you suppose to be working?
Aug 3, 2015 11:21 AM - JeffTheMess:
Aug 3, 2015 11:21 AM - JeffTheMess: nice!
Aug 3, 2015 11:23 AM - bamhm182: That's awesome MG
Aug 3, 2015 11:23 AM - Blake Benefield: Aren't you?
Aug 3, 2015 11:24 AM - Blake Benefield: I am working... working on buying a damn printer...
Aug 3, 2015 11:24 AM - Mike Glass: haha, well work harder
Aug 3, 2015 11:25 AM - Mike Glass: I need a boat rc, all I have is a few quads and a pylon racer plane.
Aug 3, 2015 11:26 AM - Blake Benefield: I was told spend no more than $600... they listed the refurb units at $630.
Aug 3, 2015 11:26 AM - Blake Benefield: otherwise it would be on its way now
Aug 3, 2015 11:27 AM - Bill Monroe: gads... I bought some bearings from my favorite source online - VXB.com - that just arrived... they said they'd send a free gift, and they did.. a digital vote meter
Aug 3, 2015 11:27 AM - Bill Monroe: volt
Aug 3, 2015 11:27 AM - Bill Monroe: beats the heck out of some gummi bears
Aug 3, 2015 11:28 AM - Blake Benefield: they sent me a set of calipers last time lol. I love them.
Aug 3, 2015 11:28 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Aug 3, 2015 11:29 AM - bamhm182: Gummi Bears > Digital Vote Meter
Aug 3, 2015 11:29 AM - bamhm182: I don't buy into politics much
Aug 3, 2015 11:30 AM - Blake Benefield: LOL
Aug 3, 2015 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: mike just use meters
Aug 3, 2015 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: if you can visualize a yard you can visualize a meter
Aug 3, 2015 11:30 AM - Blake Benefield: I guess it does depend on the person. I was pretty happy with the calipers. they're just cheap harbor freight types but I didn't have to spend money on them
Aug 3, 2015 11:31 AM - Bill Monroe: HB calipers are fine for thge maker world
Aug 3, 2015 11:31 AM - Blake Benefield: just add 1 meter for every 10 yards and you're pretty close.
Aug 3, 2015 11:31 AM - bamhm182: So I'm convinced that it is impossible to get a transcript from the Community College of the Air Force. I sent and paid for a request in like mid-June and ASU hasn't received anything. Tried to call them multiple times and all I get is a machine asking me to put in a party's extension that I do not have
Aug 3, 2015 11:31 AM - Blake Benefield: think a meter is like .914 yards or something
Aug 3, 2015 11:32 AM - Blake Benefield: I just use them for blacksmithing stuffs mostly bill. Hand punched holes aren't that precise
Aug 3, 2015 11:32 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Aug 3, 2015 11:32 AM - Mike Glass: ahaha ok Meters..
Aug 3, 2015 11:33 AM - Blake Benefield: So who do I email at robo about potentially purchasing a refurb unit?
Aug 3, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: although in football they dont use meters, yards I know because of a football field.
Aug 3, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: you can email me
Aug 3, 2015 11:35 AM - Blake Benefield: you gonna send me your robo?
Aug 3, 2015 11:35 AM - Blake Benefield: Jodie's gonna be pissed
Aug 3, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: sure, but you wont get till december.
Aug 3, 2015 11:37 AM - Blake Benefield: LOL
Aug 3, 2015 11:37 AM - Blake Benefield: well that defeats the purpose
Aug 3, 2015 11:37 AM - Blake Benefield: coulda waited on the folgertech if I wanted to wait that long
Aug 3, 2015 11:38 AM - bamhm182: Alright, gotta head to work, later all
Aug 3, 2015 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: l8tr
Aug 3, 2015 11:38 AM - Blake Benefield: what's in December? New version?
Aug 3, 2015 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: Not a robo
Aug 3, 2015 11:40 AM - jbigler1986: bigbox printer?

Aug 3, 2015 11:40 AM - Mike Glass: see how much I get for my bday.
Aug 3, 2015 11:42 AM - Bill Monroe: they're a long way from goal with only 12 days to go...
Aug 3, 2015 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: they are way over their goal
Aug 3, 2015 11:43 AM - Bill Monroe: ohya.. read it backwards
Aug 3, 2015 11:44 AM - Bill Monroe: that's what I get for designing fake awesomeness while reading spurious websites...
Aug 3, 2015 11:45 AM - Mike Glass: unless R2 came out this fall, but doubt that will happen.
Aug 3, 2015 11:49 AM - Mike Kelly: do it mike
Aug 3, 2015 11:52 AM - Blake Benefield: LOL, Both are over my budget of $600 if I purchase new... Might have to save up some extra and just not mention it.....
Aug 3, 2015 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: Thats my motto, "Just dont mention it"
Aug 3, 2015 11:54 AM - Mike Kelly:

Aug 3, 2015 11:59 AM - jbigler1986: they met their goal the first day
Aug 3, 2015 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: it'd be nice to see it get to 311k (200k gbp) so we can see what kind of sensor upgrade they have in mind
Aug 3, 2015 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: for their stretch goals
Aug 3, 2015 12:02 PM - toy: out of filament sensor? heh

Aug 3, 2015 12:15 PM - Bill Monroe: I used a DMC-2143 with an AMP-20540 piggyback
Aug 3, 2015 12:16 PM - Bill Monroe: that's gettin there.. I forgot what the 0 means though, have to look that up
Aug 3, 2015 12:16 PM - toy: do u have any pics of the closed loop printer still?
Aug 3, 2015 12:17 PM - toy: i would love to see it
Aug 3, 2015 12:17 PM - Bill Monroe: it's out at the hanger
Aug 3, 2015 12:18 PM - Bill Monroe: but really, from a stand-off it doesnt look much different.. you cant see the glass scales, and all the 'tronics are in a vault box
Aug 3, 2015 12:19 PM - toy: how's the print quality?
Aug 3, 2015 12:19 PM - Bill Monroe: i had all that stuff surplus so I used it.. it'd be over 10K to buy new and it doesnt really do much better than steppers/ramps
Aug 3, 2015 12:19 PM - Bill Monroe: and, I had to write the code
Aug 3, 2015 12:20 PM - Bill Monroe: it's Real quiet though
Aug 3, 2015 12:20 PM - toy: how accurate are the printed pieces?
Aug 3, 2015 12:21 PM - toy: .001"?
Aug 3, 2015 12:21 PM - Bill Monroe: no different than a stepper system
Aug 3, 2015 12:22 PM - toy: what are you using for a bed?
Aug 3, 2015 12:22 PM - Bill Monroe: movement was .008 last I checked, but plastic cant hold that so it's basically "accurate enough"
Aug 3, 2015 12:22 PM - Bill Monroe: neoceram class with a wound nichrome heater set in a ceramic media
Aug 3, 2015 12:23 PM - Bill Monroe: no. 0008
Aug 3, 2015 12:23 PM - toy: how flat is the glass?
Aug 3, 2015 12:24 PM - Bill Monroe: decent design, there's no significant resistance to movement in a 3D printer so, lost steps should be impossible.. steppers are fine
Aug 3, 2015 12:25 PM - Bill Monroe: i dunno.. flat enough, I never measure it.. there's no discernable distortion in the reflection
Aug 3, 2015 12:28 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/gJFg8UD messing around with the idea of using titanium plate as a bed
Aug 3, 2015 12:29 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. surface grind it!
Aug 3, 2015 12:29 PM - toy: thats was the plan..once i find a semi local outfit
Aug 3, 2015 12:30 PM - Bill Monroe: gunna heat it? i'm not sure about heat transfer
Aug 3, 2015 12:31 PM - toy: or the plastic sticking to it ( w/ hairspary)
Aug 3, 2015 12:31 PM - Blake Benefield: what's local for you?
Aug 3, 2015 12:31 PM - toy: plan on heating it... but then again titanium might now be the best choice
Aug 3, 2015 12:31 PM - toy: socal
Aug 3, 2015 12:31 PM - toy: los angeles area
Aug 3, 2015 12:33 PM - Blake Benefield: Yep.. Birmingham doesn't help you much
Aug 3, 2015 12:33 PM - toy: also, dont most surface grinders uses magnets to hold the piece in place? not sure if u can surface grind titanium that easily
Aug 3, 2015 12:33 PM - Blake Benefield: mine has clamps too
Aug 3, 2015 12:33 PM - toy: u have a surface grinder?
Aug 3, 2015 12:34 PM - Bill Monroe: mine does.. has clamps too.. i think vacuum is done sometimes
Aug 3, 2015 12:34 PM - Blake Benefield: Jet
Aug 3, 2015 12:35 PM - Bill Monroe: i think i've used mine twice in 10 years
Aug 3, 2015 12:35 PM - Blake Benefield: use mine a lot.
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 PM - Blake Benefield: I bought it for like $350 with a bad motor. Motor is sealed. treadmill motor installed and its good
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 PM - Blake Benefield: http://content.jettools.com/manuals/m_414519.pdf
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 PM - toy: what would something like 10 x 15 titanium plate .23" thick cost to surface grind?
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: dont tread lightly
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 PM - Blake Benefield: dunno if that's the same model exactly but it looks the same
Aug 3, 2015 12:36 PM - Bill Monroe: i got mine free.. old timer. works though
Aug 3, 2015 12:38 PM - Blake Benefield: that plate won't fit in mine
Aug 3, 2015 12:38 PM - Blake Benefield: mines 6"x18"
Aug 3, 2015 12:38 PM - Blake Benefield: mostly do knife blades... Mill out the thumb knotch and then grind it flat.
Aug 3, 2015 12:38 PM - Bill Monroe: might need a blanchard for that.. it's pretty wide
Aug 3, 2015 12:39 PM - Mike Glass: My MPCNC can do it..lol
Aug 3, 2015 12:39 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, but it would be all spirally
Aug 3, 2015 12:40 PM - Mike Glass: I have a 6" bit I could tram it really good
Aug 3, 2015 12:41 PM - Bill Monroe: I saw a guy make an awesome lapping rig by making a fixture for his mill, laying a 14x14" plate on top and running it with an offset bearing in the chuck
Aug 3, 2015 12:41 PM - Mike Glass: actually a mold bit converted, but its a 1" chuck, I can only goto 1/4 currently
Aug 3, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Glass: MK, did you see how slow that print was, wonder why they are going so slow. unless they are using XT?
Aug 3, 2015 1:04 PM - Mike Kelly: yup pretty slow
Aug 3, 2015 1:09 PM - Mike Kelly: mike did you see that i finished my table?
Aug 3, 2015 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: ugh
Aug 3, 2015 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: well my day just got shitty
Aug 3, 2015 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: f***********************ck
Aug 3, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: uh oh
Aug 3, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: what happened
Aug 3, 2015 1:14 PM - jbigler1986: she picked them up from school
Aug 3, 2015 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: oh well. court is friday
Aug 3, 2015 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: the table looked nice
Aug 3, 2015 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: ouch
Aug 3, 2015 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: did you ever finish the engine
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: i made some more progress on it
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: last thing i really need to do is make the springs
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: i keep forgetting to grab my spool of welding wire
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: then i think i need to tear it down again and do some sanding to hopefully make things smoother
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: any pictures of the progress?
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: so sticky right no
Aug 3, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: now
Aug 3, 2015 1:20 PM - Mike Kelly: sure one second
Aug 3, 2015 1:24 PM - donhuevo: hola amigos
Aug 3, 2015 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: hola senior
Aug 3, 2015 1:25 PM - jbigler1986: back to the grind don?
Aug 3, 2015 1:25 PM - donhuevo: yep. got home a little early today though
Aug 3, 2015 1:26 PM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/a/yROfG
Aug 3, 2015 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: nice. did you print everything with the 2x?
Aug 3, 2015 1:28 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 3, 2015 1:28 PM - donhuevo: did you choose all your colors from a box of Trix?
Aug 3, 2015 1:28 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
Aug 3, 2015 1:28 PM - donhuevo: good call
Aug 3, 2015 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: probably colors he didn't care about
Aug 3, 2015 1:29 PM - donhuevo: just saying it looks a little fruity is all
Aug 3, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Kelly: i picked warm colors
Aug 3, 2015 1:29 PM - donhuevo: yes you did
Aug 3, 2015 1:30 PM - donhuevo: it has ambiance
Aug 3, 2015 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: when it's all together it looks gray and normal
Aug 3, 2015 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: wanted some vibrancy internally to see all the movement
Aug 3, 2015 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: don. carriage?
Aug 3, 2015 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: argh where's this damn exhaust valve
Aug 3, 2015 1:30 PM - donhuevo: still working out the idler ends
Aug 3, 2015 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: which one are you going with
Aug 3, 2015 1:31 PM - donhuevo: which one what?
Aug 3, 2015 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: which carriage are you going with

 

Aug 3, 2015 1:32 PM - donhuevo: the carriage with the Igus bushings is going to have open builds 20x40 to ride up and down on
Aug 3, 2015 1:38 PM - Mike Glass: MK, I did see the table, looks nice, should hold 200 lbs of beer eh.
Aug 3, 2015 1:38 PM - Mike Kelly: thanks for all the help on it
Aug 3, 2015 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: is it possible to remove dried wood glue?
Aug 3, 2015 1:44 PM - donhuevo: it should sand
Aug 3, 2015 1:44 PM - Mike Glass: what glue did you use, the outdoor stuff?
Aug 3, 2015 1:49 PM - Mike Glass: acetone may work for the quick drying glue.
Aug 3, 2015 1:49 PM - Mike Glass: Hey Donny
Aug 3, 2015 1:49 PM - donhuevo: hey mg
Aug 3, 2015 1:50 PM - Mike Glass: how was your vacaFntion
Aug 3, 2015 1:50 PM - donhuevo: over too quick
Aug 3, 2015 1:51 PM - Mike Glass: hear ya, my real one starts on Monday, but found out I have to work this weekend..blah
Aug 3, 2015 1:58 PM - donhuevo: that sucks
Aug 3, 2015 1:59 PM - Mike Glass: I Just have to monitor from home, dont have to be on site, they are migrating the emr system to our virtual environment.
Aug 3, 2015 2:00 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i was thinking i'd just sand it then refinish it
Aug 3, 2015 2:01 PM - Mike Glass: oh I thought you did
Aug 3, 2015 2:02 PM - Mike Kelly: i mean the glue
Aug 3, 2015 2:05 PM - Blake Benefield: polyurethane glue will remove with acetone. if it's not too gunky you might try just running a scraper down the joint.
Aug 3, 2015 2:05 PM - Blake Benefield: don't know what you're working on or the finish level
Aug 3, 2015 2:06 PM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/a/6DfhS
Aug 3, 2015 2:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i'll try acetone thanks
Aug 3, 2015 2:07 PM - Blake Benefield: looks good
Aug 3, 2015 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: ty
Aug 3, 2015 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: been working on it for far too long
Aug 3, 2015 2:10 PM - Mike Glass: next is a stripper pole.
Aug 3, 2015 2:11 PM - Blake Benefield: Go with stainless...
Aug 3, 2015 2:11 PM - donhuevo: less splinters
Aug 3, 2015 2:12 PM - Mike Glass: Did you get yours dont don?
Aug 3, 2015 2:13 PM - Mike Glass: done
Aug 3, 2015 2:13 PM - donhuevo: my stripper pole?
Aug 3, 2015 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: yea!
Aug 3, 2015 2:15 PM - donhuevo: years ago
Aug 3, 2015 2:16 PM - Mike Glass: brass or stainless?
Aug 3, 2015 2:16 PM - Mike Glass: stainless just sounds cleaner..lol
Aug 3, 2015 2:17 PM - Blake Benefield: Brass might make things shiny after a while though
Aug 3, 2015 2:17 PM - Blake Benefield: gold plated look might be fun
Aug 3, 2015 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/101898793936486268064/posts/c9HaY9Qjci9?cfem=1
Aug 3, 2015 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/...&pid=6178610652343340530&oid=+williamfosterXD i'm confused at the thing i'm seeing here
Aug 3, 2015 2:27 PM - Mike Glass: wow 7 motors, sounds cheap, geared motors at that.
Aug 3, 2015 2:28 PM - Mike Glass: funny not heating element is installed, wonder if it even prints, or if it is just a thing.
Aug 3, 2015 2:28 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd assume it prints but it's certainly not a very efficient design
Aug 3, 2015 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: just unique
Aug 3, 2015 2:31 PM - donhuevo: it's whimsical
Aug 3, 2015 2:31 PM - donhuevo: I can't find a nicer way of saying its the dumbest thing I've seen since the jet engine on the shopping cart
Aug 3, 2015 2:31 PM - Mike Kelly: lol oh it's not that bad
Aug 3, 2015 2:33 PM - Blake Benefield: weird... looks like top carriage does x while bottom does Y
Aug 3, 2015 2:33 PM - Blake Benefield: seems sorta goofy.
Aug 3, 2015 2:33 PM - Mike Kelly: i think the concept is there's no Z
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - donhuevo: there's no z in delta to begin with
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - donhuevo: now there's no z squared
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - donhuevo: or should I root that?
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: there's no linear motion i should say
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: all radian
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - Blake Benefield: still linear within the tubes.
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Glass: how about a lawnmower
Aug 3, 2015 2:34 PM - donhuevo: do two deltas cancel each other out and make a cartesian?
Aug 3, 2015 2:35 PM - Blake Benefield: its a hexa
Aug 3, 2015 2:35 PM - Mike Kelly: nope mike that's just awesome
Aug 3, 2015 2:35 PM - donhuevo: only if they're 180 degrees from each other
Aug 3, 2015 2:36 PM - Blake Benefield: I had actually ordered this a couple weeks ago.

Aug 3, 2015 2:36 PM - Mike Glass: I could mow my yard in 5 min with that.
Aug 3, 2015 2:36 PM - Blake Benefield: shipping got delayed, then delayed again etc. so I asked for a refund
Aug 3, 2015 2:36 PM - donhuevo: I could stand on the brake and burn my yard in two minutes
Aug 3, 2015 2:37 PM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+MichaelScholtz1/posts/CfDwxkozX9F?cfem=1 i should bring the rep2x home and get a picture of my farm
Aug 3, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Glass: wait till your tiko arrives.

Aug 3, 2015 2:44 PM - Blake Benefield: we hardly ever do alum... mostly bronze or iron
Aug 3, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: Soon, soo soon I will be able to do that.
Aug 3, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: i really need a furnace
Aug 3, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: I need to find little more dessicant first
Aug 3, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: what's the desiccant for
Aug 3, 2015 2:46 PM - donhuevo: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029EGUNG...UTF8&qid=1438638543&sr=sr-1&keywords=damp+rid
Aug 3, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: don is that regenerable?
Aug 3, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Glass: its what is mixed with some other nasty stuff, to make the silica gel to bond the perlite.
Aug 3, 2015 2:47 PM - Blake Benefield: Mike... I can get pure silica gel
Aug 3, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Glass: I can make it fairly easily
Aug 3, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: so is it a bad idea to make a furnace with refractory cement?
Aug 3, 2015 2:48 PM - Mike Glass: no refractory cement is fine, just dont use regular cement
Aug 3, 2015 2:48 PM - donhuevo: I don't know if you can dry it back out. I do know calcium chloride kicks silica gels ass at absorbency though
Aug 3, 2015 2:48 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 3, 2015 2:48 PM - Blake Benefield: That's preferred MK
Aug 3, 2015 2:48 PM - Blake Benefield: KNOWN chemicals getting hot is always best
Aug 3, 2015 2:48 PM - Blake Benefield: never heard of using silica for it
Aug 3, 2015 2:49 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...coliid=IMC4ZOCY2EL5T&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl
Aug 3, 2015 2:49 PM - Mike Glass: let me see if I can find this link, its super lightweight system
Aug 3, 2015 2:49 PM - Mike Kelly: this is what i'm looking at
Aug 3, 2015 2:49 PM - Mike Kelly: just not sure how much volume that will fill and/or how much i need
Aug 3, 2015 2:49 PM - Mike Glass: yep Ace has it too Mike
Aug 3, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Kelly: oh nice
Aug 3, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Kelly: lowes/home depot looked at me like i was crazy when i asked
Aug 3, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Kelly: it's like "you have it on your website so i'm seeing if they sold it in store"
Aug 3, 2015 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: and then you get the slack jawed "not everything we sell online we sell in the store"
Aug 3, 2015 2:51 PM - Blake Benefield: Mike, Pure micronized silica USP is only $17 a lb
Aug 3, 2015 2:51 PM - Mike Glass: most of those people are morons in those stores
Aug 3, 2015 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 3, 2015 2:52 PM - Blake Benefield: MK, you can check out www.iforgeiron.com they have a castings section there where people make their own cupola's etc.

 

Aug 3, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Glass: hmm
Aug 3, 2015 2:52 PM - Blake Benefield: can read through the forums and learn damn near anything.
Aug 3, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: neato
Aug 3, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: did you see the king of random video when he made hos own furnace?
Aug 3, 2015 2:55 PM - Blake Benefield: Nope lol, I haven't watched that guy much. MG keeps telling me about him
Aug 3, 2015 2:56 PM - Mike Glass: here is the link
Aug 3, 2015 2:56 PM - Blake Benefield: http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/
Aug 3, 2015 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly:
Aug 3, 2015 2:57 PM - Blake Benefield: Ok. time for me to wrap it up here. BBL. I'll check that out
Aug 3, 2015 2:57 PM - Blake Benefield: Aluminum I wouldn't even fire the furnace probably... Just get the crucible hot in the forge and then put the alum inside
Aug 3, 2015 2:58 PM - Blake Benefield: rosebud tip on oxy/propane for any heat on top.
Aug 3, 2015 2:58 PM - Blake Benefield: anyway. talk to you guys later
Aug 3, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Glass: He uses plaster which is better then cement but still have to wait a week for it to dry.
Aug 3, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 3, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Glass: later
Aug 3, 2015 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: later blake
Aug 3, 2015 2:59 PM - Mike Glass: the stuff with perlite you can use right away after you flame cure it.
Aug 3, 2015 2:59 PM - Mike Glass: and super lightweight.
Aug 3, 2015 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess i feel like i've been dragging my feet enough on doing this that a week of curing isn't a concern
Aug 3, 2015 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: the weight would kinda suck though
Aug 3, 2015 3:00 PM - Mike Glass: why is that
Aug 3, 2015 3:00 PM - Mike Kelly: why have i been dragging my feet? or why would allt he concrete weight suck?
Aug 3, 2015 3:01 PM - Mike Glass: lol
Aug 3, 2015 3:01 PM - Mike Glass: I thought you meant the lightweight..lol the container I have is like 40 lbs so lighter weight the better.
Aug 3, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i meant the refractory cement
Aug 3, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if there's a way i can increase the volume from one package
Aug 3, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Kelly: maybe i should just go the plaster and play sand route
Aug 3, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Glass: you dont want to use that for the whole thing
Aug 3, 2015 3:03 PM - Mike Glass: its just for the lining inside.
Aug 3, 2015 3:03 PM - donhuevo: you mean cut it with something like that new-fangled ultra-light kitty litter?
Aug 3, 2015 3:03 PM - Mike Glass: perlite or vermiculite
Aug 3, 2015 3:04 PM - Mike Kelly: i also need to buy a new crucible
Aug 3, 2015 3:04 PM - Mike Kelly: didn't realize they sell crucibles in oz of gold
Aug 3, 2015 3:05 PM - Mike Kelly: which is a really dumb way
Aug 3, 2015 3:05 PM - Mike Glass: or benenite clay and perlite would work also
Aug 3, 2015 3:05 PM - Mike Kelly: "32 oz crucible"
Aug 3, 2015 3:06 PM - Mike Kelly: actually i bought a 40 Toz
Aug 3, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Kelly: @don: http://banggood.com/8-x-WS2812-LED-strip-5050-RGB-for-Arduino-Trinket-Gemma-p-978363.html

Aug 3, 2015 3:11 PM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 3, 2015 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: $2.80 for 8 led neopixel strips w/ free shipping
Aug 3, 2015 3:11 PM - bamhm182: Sort of
Aug 3, 2015 3:11 PM - donhuevo: definitely cheap.
Aug 3, 2015 3:12 PM - donhuevo: 7-20 day shipping
Aug 3, 2015 3:12 PM - bamhm182: You trying to make some metal casts of your 3d prints?
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: bam right he is
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - Bill Monroe: not trying.. doing
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - Bill Monroe: but that
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah but for 2.80 i'm willing to wait a few weeks to play with them
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - Mike Kelly: nice cast
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - Bill Monroe: that's from 9 years ago.. greensand
Aug 3, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: there is no try, only do
Aug 3, 2015 3:14 PM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Aug 3, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.amazon.com/Foundry-Graph...=UTF8&qid=1438639822&sr=8-2&keywords=crucible
Aug 3, 2015 3:14 PM - Bill Monroe: donyoda speaks wisely
Aug 3, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd probably go for that crucible
Aug 3, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: now that i understand their sizing
Aug 3, 2015 3:14 PM - Bill Monroe: you can.. it's properly called a #20 silicon
Aug 3, 2015 3:15 PM - Bill Monroe: and if I can get my engrams spooled up, I can tell you where to get one
Aug 3, 2015 3:15 PM - Bill Monroe: http://www.foundry-supplies.com/
Aug 3, 2015 3:16 PM - Mike Glass: like to try some of that was filament for casting.
Aug 3, 2015 3:16 PM - Bill Monroe: i've not poured one yet, but I have baked-out some PLA, seems to be fine
Aug 3, 2015 3:17 PM - Mike Kelly: i need to get all my dads only foundry tools
Aug 3, 2015 3:17 PM - Bill Monroe: my family owned a foundry from 46-96.. grew up there, learned how to do it properly
Aug 3, 2015 3:17 PM - Bill Monroe: all the youtube "experts" scare the hell out of me
Aug 3, 2015 3:18 PM - bamhm182: I should get into this!
Aug 3, 2015 3:18 PM - bamhm182: (hehehe)
Aug 3, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Kelly: my only connection to foundry work was my dad worked at one during summers in college
Aug 3, 2015 3:18 PM - Bill Monroe: somewhere I have still of making those molds
Aug 3, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Kelly: back in the days when you could work in the summer to pay for school
Aug 3, 2015 3:18 PM - bamhm182: In other news, bamhm182 somehow managed to burn down the state of Virginia by short circuiting a crucible. How the hell he did it, we'll never know
Aug 3, 2015 3:19 PM - Mike Kelly: lol don't make an electric one then
Aug 3, 2015 3:19 PM - Bill Monroe: especially since crucibles have no electricity
Aug 3, 2015 3:19 PM - bamhm182: Bingo
Aug 3, 2015 3:19 PM - Bill Monroe: you are da man
Aug 3, 2015 3:19 PM - Bill Monroe: making energy from nothing.. a national treasure
Aug 3, 2015 3:20 PM - bamhm182: Hahaha
Aug 3, 2015 3:20 PM - bamhm182: Y'all see my Robostein?
Aug 3, 2015 3:20 PM - Bill Monroe: i think I have a video somewhere of the machine I made to condition the sand.. lemme look
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - donhuevo: I don't think I saw it bam
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess i need to change my printer name because it keeps getting copied
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: MK Robo from now on
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: or Mk. R1
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - bamhm182: Oh, was that your name?
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: Robostein
Aug 3, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - bamhm182:
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - bamhm182: Urgh, no edit
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - bamhm182: Oh well, there's a link
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - bamhm182: Ty
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: mines definitely not that bad lol
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: close though
Aug 3, 2015 3:22 PM - bamhm182: Got a server fan hooked up to it and it's gutted
Aug 3, 2015 3:23 PM - donhuevo: it's wearing high tops
Aug 3, 2015 3:23 PM - bamhm182: Need to get the dimensions from the board there so I can make a mount for it
Aug 3, 2015 3:23 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, printed those off when I was thinking about using that fan pictured there as the main RAMPS fan before deciding it was complete overkill
Aug 3, 2015 3:24 PM - Mike Kelly: just drill in the case
Aug 3, 2015 3:24 PM - Mike Glass: nothing is overkill
Aug 3, 2015 3:24 PM - bamhm182: I guess I could do it that way...

 

Aug 3, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Kelly: well fingers crossed that those led strips aren't totally worthless
Aug 3, 2015 3:25 PM - bamhm182: Tried to get my scanner to scan the board, but that proved pointless. It kept turning out all sorts of messed up
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - donhuevo: you ordered some?
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: i bet you could find a model of that board on grabcad
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - donhuevo: for the printer or something else?
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: mostly for fun
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: we'll see
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - donhuevo: cool!
Aug 3, 2015 3:26 PM - bamhm182: I don't think it's a common size though
Aug 3, 2015 3:27 PM - Mike Kelly: that's a rumba right?
Aug 3, 2015 3:28 PM - bamhm182: It's a Sainsmart All-In-One
Aug 3, 2015 3:28 PM - bamhm182: Actually, the form factor looks about like a Rumba
Aug 3, 2015 3:28 PM - bamhm182: Let me find some measurements for the Rumba and take some measurements of mine and find out
Aug 3, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Kelly: http://reprap.org/wiki/RUMBA pretty sure that's a rumba
Aug 3, 2015 3:31 PM - bamhm182: The wiki says Rumba is 135x75. Mine is 148x84
Aug 3, 2015 3:31 PM - bamhm182: But I could probably just increase the scale a smidge
Aug 3, 2015 3:32 PM - bamhm182: Either that or I could just design the plate so it slides...
Aug 3, 2015 3:33 PM - bamhm182: I think I might actually do that
Aug 3, 2015 3:40 PM - bamhm182: So it turns out that the Rumba has 3 holes in the corner, and 1 more towards the center
Aug 3, 2015 3:40 PM - bamhm182: Mine has 4 screw holes in the corners
Aug 3, 2015 3:43 PM - donhuevo: sounds effed up. send it back
Aug 3, 2015 3:45 PM - bamhm182: http://rigidtalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=SainSmart_2in1
Aug 3, 2015 3:45 PM - bamhm182: Haha, yeah
Aug 3, 2015 3:45 PM - bamhm182: "I need to return this" "Why" "Because it was working. It's not supposed to work"
Aug 3, 2015 3:46 PM - donhuevo: and the holes are in all the wrong places
Aug 3, 2015 3:47 PM - bamhm182: Eh, it never claimed to be a Rumba
Aug 3, 2015 3:50 PM - bamhm182: Anyways, gotta get gone. Later
Aug 3, 2015 3:50 PM - PeterkSharma: hello all, still having trouble getting my e3d v6 to heat up. The thermistor will show there is a heat change if I slowly bring a lighter close to it. The heater cartridge I pulled off and check with a multimeter and it read the correct resistance. Any ideas
Aug 3, 2015 3:51 PM - Bill Monroe: see if 12V is getting to the heater
Aug 3, 2015 3:51 PM - PeterkSharma: lol.... Duh, brb
Aug 3, 2015 3:51 PM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 3, 2015 3:52 PM - Bill Monroe: kind of the maker's version of "is it plugged in?"
Aug 3, 2015 3:52 PM - Bill Monroe: would be the least bit suprised if it's just a loose connection on the ramps
Aug 3, 2015 3:56 PM - PeterkSharma: hahahahhahahaa
Aug 3, 2015 3:57 PM - PeterkSharma: When I hooked up the multimeter it worked
Aug 3, 2015 3:57 PM - Bill Monroe: sounds like something is loose
Aug 3, 2015 3:57 PM - PeterkSharma: the heater started to heat up
Aug 3, 2015 3:57 PM - Bill Monroe: heating up now?
Aug 3, 2015 3:57 PM - PeterkSharma: Thanks guys! cant wait to start printing with some ninja flex. any tips?
Aug 3, 2015 3:58 PM - PeterkSharma: yeah it is. It must have been a bad connection
Aug 3, 2015 3:58 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, start with PLA.. flex can be a little dicey
Aug 3, 2015 3:58 PM - PeterkSharma: I have been doing pla, I got the v6 to do flex.
Aug 3, 2015 3:59 PM - Bill Monroe: ok.. did ya so the mods to the extruder?
Aug 3, 2015 3:59 PM - Bill Monroe: so=do
Aug 3, 2015 3:59 PM - PeterkSharma: Yea, I just was having trouble with the heater part. Thats really the last major mod for a little while
Aug 3, 2015 4:00 PM - Bill Monroe: k print away!
Aug 3, 2015 4:00 PM - PeterkSharma: Ty!
Aug 3, 2015 4:00 PM - PeterkSharma: Hey Bill, have you printed T-Glase?
Aug 3, 2015 4:05 PM - PeterkSharma: or anyone ordered from MakerGeeks? I ordered a roll of T-Glase and it didnt come on the traditional Taulman Roll.
Aug 3, 2015 4:06 PM - Bill Monroe: i've never done tglase
Aug 3, 2015 4:08 PM - Bill Monroe: hatchbox, shaxxon and Makerbot are my goto filaments.. i've had very good results with woodfill and bronze from colorfabb.
Aug 3, 2015 4:08 PM - Bill Monroe: i really like the way colorfabbs XT makes parts, but it can be a challenge to dial in
Aug 3, 2015 4:09 PM - Bill Monroe: bear in mind though, I have two Stratasys high-end machines at my disposal so my standard for good prints is skewed
Aug 3, 2015 4:09 PM - PeterkSharma: Yeah I went kinda crazy and ordered about 20 different fillaments of all types. I'm really excited to try to Porolay, and HD Glass. I grabbed some ninja flex, conductive, and wood while I was at it
Aug 3, 2015 4:11 PM - PeterkSharma: I'm interested in printing some tesla coils and there cant be any metal. So i'm finding very good luck with printing modular parts to the coils and snapping them together
Aug 3, 2015 4:12 PM - PeterkSharma: I want to try printing a vacuum tube with the hd glass and the conductive filament, but I might be a little bit away from that.
Aug 3, 2015 6:11 PM - jbigler1986: Sup
Aug 3, 2015 6:33 PM - Bill Monroe: Justin
Aug 3, 2015 6:39 PM - jbigler1986: Hello
Aug 3, 2015 6:39 PM - daniel871: I think one of the Mikes would be the best person to get T-glase advice from.
Aug 3, 2015 6:39 PM - jbigler1986: MG
Aug 3, 2015 6:40 PM - daniel871: Just noticed the timestamp, bah.
Aug 3, 2015 6:41 PM - daniel871: Fan extender came in today. Now I just need the replacement bed and I'll open the robo up and finish instslling everything.
Aug 3, 2015 6:42 PM - daniel871: And cover the glass with tape to protect it, I guess.
Aug 3, 2015 6:43 PM - jbigler1986: Lol. Yeah if i were you i would too
Aug 3, 2015 6:46 PM - daniel871: Could always go nuts and put this on it:http://www.amazon.com/Polyetherimide-Off-White-Standard-Tolerance-PEI0113/dp/B00CPRDDLY
Aug 3, 2015 6:47 PM - Bill Monroe: back

Aug 3, 2015 7:03 PM - jbigler1986: Are your skills that good Bill?
Aug 3, 2015 7:19 PM - Bill Monroe: at one time maybe
Aug 3, 2015 7:20 PM - Bill Monroe: he benefits from a LOT of sponsor money
Aug 3, 2015 7:21 PM - Bill Monroe: and really, his act is all about the power of the engine.. not a graceful performance like Art Scholl used to do. it's all about jamming the throttle on a way-too-big engine
Aug 3, 2015 7:25 PM - Bill Monroe: This guy was inarguarbly the very best airshow pilot that ever lived:
Aug 3, 2015 7:26 PM - Bill Monroe: add to that the fact that he designed all the mods to the plane he used, so nice the russian traded him a Zlin at the peak of the cold war
Aug 3, 2015 7:30 PM - PeterkSharma: what materials print well without a cooling fan on them?
Aug 3, 2015 7:30 PM - PeterkSharma: did the hotend swap and didnt print a cooling fan adapter to fit the fan
Aug 3, 2015 7:31 PM - Bill Monroe: ABS
Aug 3, 2015 7:31 PM - Bill Monroe: just aim a oscilatting room fan at it
Aug 3, 2015 7:32 PM - Bill Monroe: not too close or you'll cool off the tip and get a TEMP FAIL ERROR
Aug 3, 2015 7:32 PM - PeterkSharma: rgr. tyu
Aug 3, 2015 7:43 PM - PeterkSharma: anyone have a cooling fan mod for the e3d v6
Aug 3, 2015 7:59 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah.
Aug 3, 2015 8:00 PM - PeterkSharma: can i get a copy, i didnt see a robo specific one on tingiverse
Aug 3, 2015 8:01 PM - jbigler1986: Hold on
Aug 3, 2015 8:05 PM - jbigler1986: I did have the file. Idk where it went. Ask Mike Kelly. He designed it
Aug 3, 2015 8:08 PM - jim3Dbot: Did the same thing when I changed to v6, zip tye the original fan until you print the new holder...
Aug 3, 2015 8:11 PM - Bill Monroe: i may have something.. hold on
Aug 3, 2015 8:15 PM - Bill Monroe: this was represented as a V6 fan mount.. the one I have on my machine doesnt look like this so I dunno... https://www.dropbox.com/s/fkg6682t11qskmz/Fan Mount.STL?dl=0
Aug 3, 2015 8:19 PM - PeterkSharma: yeah its strange, i though i had seen it before but it seemed to have disapeared
Aug 3, 2015 8:20 PM - PeterkSharma: ugh filament is jamming going into hotend
Aug 3, 2015 8:20 PM - jim3Dbot: Damn, I deleted that file, figured I never would need it again...anal
Aug 3, 2015 8:32 PM - PeterkSharma: ugh cant get anything to print because i dont have the cooling fan
Aug 3, 2015 8:55 PM - Bill Monroe: got the fan?
Aug 3, 2015 8:55 PM - Bill Monroe: the fan itself, I mean

 

Aug 3, 2015 at 9:01 PM - PeterkSharma: i have the cooling fan that came with the computer
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Nick Sheler: quick question if anyone has a moment?
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:03 PM - PeterkSharma: i can try
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:04 PM - Nick Sheler: thanks peter
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:05 PM - Nick Sheler: looking for a replacement wade extruder stl file
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:05 PM - Nick Sheler: i seen alot on thingiverse but unsure what onw will work properly with robo 3d
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:05 PM - PeterkSharma: first place i check is ww.yeggi.com

Aug 3, 2015 at 9:05 PM - PeterkSharma: ahhh
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Nick Sheler: yeah...lol
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:06 PM - PeterkSharma: just a sec, let me see if I can find one
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:06 PM - PeterkSharma: for the R1
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Nick Sheler: i have been looking for a few days but unsure of the exact one i should use
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Bill Monroe: the files for the original exist
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Nick Sheler: REALLY!?!?!?!
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:07 PM - Nick Sheler: Do tell....lol
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:07 PM - Bill Monroe: let me look
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:07 PM - Nick Sheler: i searched the forum but unsuccessful
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:08 PM - PeterkSharma: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:760093
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:08 PM - PeterkSharma: here is the calibration
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:08 PM - PeterkSharma:
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:09 PM - PeterkSharma: Is that what you are looking for?
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:09 PM - Nick Sheler: i have the x carriage file but would like to have the correct top frame to match
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:09 PM - Bill Monroe: found them, stand by
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:09 PM - Nick Sheler: no ite the parts that the stepper motor mounts on to
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:10 PM - PeterkSharma: ah
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:10 PM - Nick Sheler: not sure what the correct term is for that part
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:10 PM - Nick Sheler: sorry if i was unclear
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:11 PM - PeterkSharma: all good, still looking

Aug 3, 2015 at 9:12 PM - Nick Sheler: droids?
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:12 PM - PeterkSharma: lol
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:12 PM - Bill Monroe: <sigh> nevermind
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:12 PM - Nick Sheler: sorry for my ignorance
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:12 PM - Nick Sheler: lol
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:12 PM - PeterkSharma: december 18th
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:13 PM - Bill Monroe: it's alright

Aug 3, 2015 at 9:13 PM - Bill Monroe: anytime
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:14 PM - PeterkSharma: ty bill for those
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:14 PM - Bill Monroe: you're welcome
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:14 PM - PeterkSharma: anyone have any cool fun models? looking for something to print
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:15 PM - Bill Monroe: search thingiverse for "yes no"
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:16 PM - Bill Monroe: actually, "yes & no"
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:16 PM - PeterkSharma: hahahahahahah thats so sweet!
Aug 3, 2015 at 9:16 PM - PeterkSharma: thansk man
Aug 3, 2015 at 10:46 PM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:951361
Aug 3, 2015 at 10:46 PM - bamhm182: Came across those when I typed in yes & no. Don't know which I like more. Then it occurred to me. Why not both?!?
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:19 AM - daniel871: I wish there was a generator for the yes no platform that would put different words on it.
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:20 AM - daniel871: There is a "Sex & Love" version, but no generator.

Aug 4, 2015 at 5:55 AM - JeffTheMess: Bill, wants me to go broke
Aug 4, 2015 at 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: does it need charged or does it have like an alternator to keep it charged
Aug 4, 2015 at 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: it absorbs electrical energy from radio transmissions
Aug 4, 2015 at 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: has a Mr Fusion for backup
Aug 4, 2015 at 5:59 AM - jbigler1986: where can i buy one

Aug 4, 2015 at 7:09 AM - jbigler1986: interesting http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:933829

 

Aug 4, 2015 at 7:19 AM - JeffTheMess: that moment your boss tell a tech to train an engineer (that has done this for years)
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:22 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:24 AM - Mike Kelly: nice print mike
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:32 AM - Blake Benefield: Turned out nice Mike
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:33 AM - Blake Benefield: was wondering if it finished... I sort of fell asleep reading about printers
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:34 AM - Blake Benefield: found a z-603 locally for $400 sort of considering that but haven't been able to find much on documentation.
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:34 AM - Blake Benefield: (Chinese Replicator 2 knock-off)
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: makerbot sucks. so knockoffs probably do as well
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:42 AM - daniel871: I have actually heard good things about Flashforge and Wanhao makerbot knockoffs though.
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:42 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah flashforge gets a good rep
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: i still don't know how i feel about the MK8 extruder
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Blake Benefield: In a store with shopping blocked via firewall so I can't really shoot up a link. But the printer is the Aurora Z-603s if you want to take a look
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Blake Benefield: well... one sec.
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Blake Benefield: nm. can't hotspot the connection for a minute either. 1x data on phone
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:55 AM - jbigler1986: haw hard is it to put a e3d on those
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: also is it open source firmware?
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:56 AM - Mike Kelly: i dunno i wouldn't suggest that
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:57 AM - Blake Benefield: All I needed to hear MK
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:57 AM - Blake Benefield: Marlin jb
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:58 AM - jbigler1986: i'm not a fan of the hotend
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:58 AM - jbigler1986: i don't want a printer that i can't put a v6 on
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm just really hesitant on replicator clones, and that one looks about as bare bones as you can get
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:00 AM - Blake Benefield: Pretty sure you can put whatever on it if you design the part. But I'd rather start with something that is a good base to begin with
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:00 AM - Blake Benefield: MG said you would know on that MK
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: i like printers that are easily modified. Since I like to modify/upgrade the hell out of them
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:02 AM - Mike Kelly: is it all aluminum?
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:02 AM - Blake Benefield: Dunno. I know there's no wood if that's what you mean.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Blake Benefield: http://samuelpinches.com.au/3d-printer/aurora-z603s-3d-printer-review/
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Blake Benefield: sounds like this guy had to sort some things out to get his where he wanted it.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: as with most printers
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: motherboard (Aurora Erwo) is also a custom jobbie – and there is no documentation, or info on spare parts anywhere that I could find.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:05 AM - jbigler1986: no thanks
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:05 AM - Blake Benefield: wasn't too worried about that as it could be changed if needed.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:06 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.shapeways.com/product/U7BVBYES4/nuke-lamp holy crap LMAO
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:06 AM - jbigler1986: seems like a headache of a printer
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd stick with a flashforge, especially at that price
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Blake Benefield: yeah, not going that way. Buddy owns an electronics store and said he had 3 and he'd sell one for $400 to me.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: ah
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: if it's all aluminum i'd say that's a good value
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:08 AM - Blake Benefield: I'm thinking it may be a steel case instead of aluminum
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:08 AM - Blake Benefield: don't know though. Haven't seen the unit in person and he said the box is all in chinese lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:09 AM - jbigler1986: no thanks again. lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:10 AM - Blake Benefield: yeah I'm kinda leaning with no now. If I have to wait a while longer then that's just how it is.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: what are you looking for in a printer?
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:15 AM - Blake Benefield: Honestly I've learned from years of IT stuff that support is as valuable as the product itself.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:16 AM - Blake Benefield: That's why the robo became of interest to me. MG has one, he seemed pleased. The forums and customization was appealing. and when you looked up review videos on youtube there was someone from the company going "this is a better way of doing this, we will implement this" etc.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:17 AM - jbigler1986: well once you start to do upgrades and mods you can pretty much figure out any printer
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:17 AM - Blake Benefield: Biggest issue for me atm is the bride gave me a $600 budget for the first printer
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:17 AM - Mike Glass: blah, blah, just go to amazon and buy the dam thing..lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:18 AM - Mike Glass: Just got back from meeting
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:18 AM - Blake Benefield: I don't have prime like you
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:18 AM - Blake Benefield: you wanna buy another and have it shipped here and I'll gladly give you the money lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: i was brand new to 3d printing when i got my printer. modified the hell out of it. broke is several times in the process but now i know a ton about how printers work and usually why they fail
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:19 AM - Mike Glass: They fail, cause you break them.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:19 AM - jbigler1986: here is my next printer http://www.amazon.com/HICTOP-Self-a...ie=UTF8&qid=1438701756&sr=8-1&keywords=hictop
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:20 AM - jbigler1986: yep
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:20 AM - jbigler1986: learn that way
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:21 AM - jbigler1986: wait. i forgot about the folgertech one
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - Blake Benefield: you had a folgertech?
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - Blake Benefield: can't click on shoppy links here JB
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - jbigler1986: no. but it's cheap
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - Mike Glass: haha thats what Blake was going to get but kept getting the run around
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - Blake Benefield: if they can ship the damn thing out to you
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - jbigler1986:
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM - Blake Benefield: I orded the Kossel
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:24 AM - jbigler1986: you should get the prusa i3
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:24 AM - Blake Benefield: was told it would be a week or 2 delay while they printed the plastic parts and packaged it. I paid for the aluminum frame pieces. LCD screen etc.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:24 AM - Mike Glass: $400 isnt too bad for that, still HFnC's though
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:25 AM - jbigler1986: well you already know that i will be replacing those
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:26 AM - Blake Benefield: long story short, 2 weeks became 2 months and I had to get a refund. which they then said would take up to 2 weeks because it had to go through their accountant. Wound up taking about 5 days.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Blake Benefield: I figure if I'm gonna build it anyway the Kossel was a smaller footprint lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Glass: Not good business sense for that company.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Blake Benefield: I think it had to do with me changing out parts and stuff from the start.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Blake Benefield: but I wouldn't have done that had they not asked me when I called.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:30 AM - jbigler1986:
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:30 AM - jbigler1986: I would suggest that one from folgertech too. Cheap
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Blake Benefield: Yeah, we talked about those. Mike ruined me by going "i3's are wobbly.. DELTA'S ARE COOL"
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Blake Benefield: Now I've kinda got a sour taste on the company itself
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Mike Kelly: i really want a delta
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Blake Benefield: the folgertech kit was autoleveling too
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:33 AM - jbigler1986: i would ask them how fast then can ship one of those
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Blake Benefield: the other big thing was the speed of the delta vs car
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:35 AM - jbigler1986: easy to go bowden. but like i said. I like to mod
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:36 AM - jbigler1986: i will probably get a delta at some point
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Blake Benefield: Actually... I think i know why now. They've removed the kit I ordered and changed their delta kit
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:38 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:38 AM - Blake Benefield: it appears that it doesn't come with linear rails anymore and comes stock with aluminum corners now. They were printed before
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:39 AM - Blake Benefield: different vertical carriage
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:39 AM - jbigler1986: "Items you will need: Tools" wtf.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:40 AM - Blake Benefield: http://folgertech.com/collections/3...s/folger-tech-kossel-2020-full-3d-printer-kit
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:40 AM - jbigler1986: No shit. Would be nice to know what tools
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:40 AM - Mike Glass: haha, they removed the linear slides.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Blake Benefield: yep
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:41 AM - jbigler1986:
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Blake Benefield: At least we know what the hold up was now Mike
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Mike Kelly: considering forgiving them?
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Mike Glass: to yep they cheaped out, they are exspensive to buy
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:42 AM - jbigler1986: nice bowden tube. lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that'sd not how i'd do the tube
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: 3mm filament?

 

Aug 4, 2015 at 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:43 AM - jbigler1986: horrible arc
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:43 AM - jbigler1986: or whatever you want to call that
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:43 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning all
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: morning waldo
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: "Items you need: Tools"
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: helpful
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Blake Benefield: thats the old kit
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Mike Glass: yea I like those slides
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: ditto
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM - jbigler1986: right MK. That's what i was talking about
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: haha geez
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: totally missed that
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:46 AM - jbigler1986: You need "tools" to build this. I have this tape measure. How do I bolt this part to this with a tape measure
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:47 AM - Mike Glass: So Blake now I have all these pictures, around 300 of them how do I put them in a video
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:47 AM - jbigler1986: call ghostbusters
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Blake Benefield: your software didn't do it?
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Mike Glass: didnt really look, I thought there was a "know" way to do it
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Blake Benefield: Basically you can create a slideshow with extremely short slides lol. I know you can do it on a mac fairly easily.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Blake Benefield: I'm looking
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Blake Benefield: http://www.spacelapse.net/en/Astrop...nvert_Single_Photos_to_a_Timelapse_Movie.html
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Blake Benefield: maybe try that? I know quicktime pro will do it if you have that
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:53 AM - Blake Benefield: hard for me to find resources with this stupid firewall
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:54 AM - Mike Glass: wonder if sony vegas will do it, It should.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:56 AM - Blake Benefield: it looks like the removal of the rails changed the print area Mike.. went from 180x210H to 210x310
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:57 AM - Mike Glass: well bbl I have a switch I need to put in at our 911 center.
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:57 AM - Mike Glass: yea rails didnt go all the way up
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:57 AM - Mike Glass: see ya later
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:00 AM - donhuevo: hello
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:06 AM - Blake Benefield: https://drive.google.com/a/inventoryiq.net/folderview?id=0B9b1NbuMK524c0h3MDNWd3kwZ28&usp=drive_web
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:25 AM - donhuevo: did they ship it?
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Blake Benefield: nah, they've already given me a refund
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:26 AM - donhuevo: damnit
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:26 AM - donhuevo: I knew it was too good to be true
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Blake Benefield: lol. If you scroll up you'll see they've changed their kits
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Blake Benefield: I think that was the issue
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:27 AM - donhuevo: sucks
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Blake Benefield: Yeah. I think they may have ran into an issue in sourcing the linear slides cheaply enough to continue including them in the kit
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:29 AM - jbigler1986: who will be the first to have a delta here
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:29 AM - donhuevo: I know Tesseract was in the process of building his own. don't know the status of it though
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:30 AM - jbigler1986: don get on it
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:30 AM - donhuevo: I started on one too but didn't get very far
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:31 AM - jbigler1986: if only i were single and had the time.
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:31 AM - JeffTheMess:
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Blake Benefield: MG asked some of the guys here about that kit before I ordered. They all seemed possitive about it
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:31 AM - jbigler1986: oh wait
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:32 AM - donhuevo: haha
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:32 AM - JeffTheMess: ^
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:32 AM - donhuevo: get on it jb
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: as soon as stuff gets back on track i will look into it
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:33 AM - donhuevo: blake, after being aware of this kit, the folgertech seemed like an incredible deal. http://seemecnc.com/products/rostock-max-complete-kit
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:34 AM - jbigler1986: i still dont get how they do it without a geared stepper
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:35 AM - jbigler1986: his budget is 600
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Blake Benefield: If I can't snag a refurbed robo in a few weeks I'll likely reorder a folgertech. Can add rails with my budget
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Blake Benefield: I couldn't even get her to budge on the shipping lol, she wanted $600 total to start.
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Blake Benefield: Oh well, money is tight. It is a toy
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Blake Benefield: bbl. lunch
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:37 AM - donhuevo: yep
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: is the robo printing yet?
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:40 AM - donhuevo: mine?
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:40 AM - donhuevo: it never stopped
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: oh
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: just not with the new carriage
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:41 AM - donhuevo: right
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:45 AM - jbigler1986: work is dragging today
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:45 AM - donhuevo: I'm still playing catchup
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:46 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.3ders.org//articles/2015...e-3d-printed-joints-for-furniture-design.html these are cool
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:55 AM - jbigler1986: wow
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:55 AM - jbigler1986:
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:56 AM - Mike Kelly: those are cool joints
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: i so want an UM2
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:57 AM - Mike Kelly: man me too
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: those are so tiny
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: soupaboy got to see them at the london expo
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:59 AM - donhuevo: it'd be nice to chuck up a .4mm drill bit in the little drill
Aug 4, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: while working at the UM booth
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm hoping that someone can figure out a way to package a small cordless drill in the body of a precision screw drive
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:00 AM - jbigler1986: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1280877427/morpheus-3d-printer-a-whole-new-3d-printing-experi
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Essential-Electronics-Toolkit/IF145-047-1 like this size
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:04 AM - donhuevo: don't know what torque you'd have left at that size not that you'd need much
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:06 AM - donhuevo: Igus aluminum smooth rods should be here today
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the torque issue is really the drainer
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: but yeah too many motor constraints to really make it feasible
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:12 AM - donhuevo: dyson may have an answer
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:13 AM - Mike Kelly: but yeah when i was working with precision drivers a lot it started to get annoying
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:14 AM - jbigler1986: i want that resin printer
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:14 AM - jbigler1986: delta, um2, resin printer. what else
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Mike Kelly: get a bigbox with me printed solid and mg
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:15 AM - donhuevo: what do they call those screwdrivers that work like a feedscrew?
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: uh
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:18 AM - jbigler1986: did you guys hear any more from e3d about it
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:19 AM - donhuevo: http://www.lightinthebox.com/t201-b...Rckaac5RCHOcl9EZanklet9BpBj0CFm55whoC3dzw_wcB
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:21 AM - Mike Kelly: oh yeah those don
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Mike Kelly: those are pretty good as well
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Mike Kelly: jb we've heard a little bit more but nothing solid yet

Aug 4, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: some insider info
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: awesome. wonder how well it would work on the robo
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Blake Benefield: if the bigbox wasn't ending so soon I would save up and toss cash at that.
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Blake Benefield: being that I got burnt by the pheonix kit though I'm hessitant to do a kickstarter
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:53 AM - jbigler1986: well it's e3d. i doubt they would put their name on it if it wasn't going to happen
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Blake Benefield: You know that. I know that. My wife, she's not gonna care much
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's a hard sell for sure
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Blake Benefield: plus the whole spending money on something that won't be here till the first of the year makes it harder too
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: kickstarter is certainly not for everyone
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Blake Benefield: I've had good luck with it on games
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Blake Benefield: krossmaster arena
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: we backed exploding kittens, just got that yesterday
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Blake Benefield: cards against humanity
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Blake Benefield: she's weird like that. I could spend $150 on 3 or 4 things and she would be "well ok" but 1 item over $300 and she starts getting freaked out.
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: i get that, wife's the same way
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Blake Benefield: It is a lot of money, but she'll spend $200 on my 8 month old daughters clothes in a month
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Blake Benefield: i just need a craft show to sell some smithing stuff lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Mike Glass: what she dont know, well, she wont know..lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Blake Benefield: slide of hand tricks have to be done slowly lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:00 AM - Mike Kelly: just tell her you'll set up a 3D hubs shop and pay back the printer that way
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Blake Benefield: Little girl has some issues. once all the bills come in from her last surgery I'll look and see where I'm at
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Blake Benefield: plus the next one is coming up in January or so
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: irish twins eh?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: sorry to hear about the issues
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:03 AM - JeffTheMess: https://grabcad.com/library/don-t-lose-your-head-wooden-toy-1
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Blake Benefield: Not quite that close, little boy just turned 3. She's 8 months
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: oh you meant surgery not another kid
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Blake Benefield: was born with all the bones in her skull fused together. First surgery they used an MRI and then 3d printed a image of her brain and the front half of her skull. Removed the back half, cut it into pieces and then reassembled it and put it back.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Glass: So she will have a 3d printed skull at some point.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Blake Benefield: had to in order to give her brain room to grow. 2nd surgery put brackets in that we had to turn (moved 0.3mm per turn) 3 times daily. pushed the back of her skull back farther rounding it out more. 3rd removed the brackets after the bone filled in. next one will be to give her a brow line above her eyes
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: wow. sorry to hear that. hopefully everything works out great. surgery and kids is a hard thing to take. my oldest had surgery on his stomach when he was 6 weeks old. I was scared to death. Couldn't imagine how you felt with a surgery that intense
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:17 AM - bamhm182: That's crazy, Blake. Good luck.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:17 AM - bamhm182: Guess who joined the chipped bed club this morning. *This guy*
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Mike Glass: woohoo
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Mike Glass: welcome to the partay
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - bamhm182: Noticed something shiny on the bottom of a print, put it aside and started cleaning up my bed when I noticed that the same pattern was chipped on my bed
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - bamhm182: Haha
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - jbigler1986: you guys
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - bamhm182: It's not a very deep one, but it's pretty pretty big
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - jbigler1986: stop using super glue to adhere parts
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Mike Glass: thats what happens when you take them off not cooled down though
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:19 AM - jbigler1986: i never wait
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:19 AM - bamhm182: This one had several hours to cool down
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:19 AM - jbigler1986: hell i remove parts during prints sometimes. living on the edge
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Mike Glass: I use soft icepack seemed to work best
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:19 AM - bamhm182: I'm guessing it finished at around 9 and I woke up to take it off at 1
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Mike Glass: but just use tape now
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:20 AM - bamhm182: Although most the time, yeah, I pop them off when they're done
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Mike Kelly: how low to the bed was it
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Blake Benefield: how much is the glass to replace?? I would tend to think over time you'd just have to replace it
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Mike Glass: lets look at the elephant feet.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Mike Glass: $40
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Mike Glass: or just get a piece cut at a glass shop and lay over the existing.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: thats with wiring and everything
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Blake Benefield: seems like that would affect heat transfer
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Mike Glass: oh with the heater JB?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM - bamhm182: I thought it was like $90?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - bamhm182: http://www.robo3d.com/collections/r...cts/replacement-heated-borosilicate-glass-bed
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - donhuevo: http://www.robo3d.com/collections/replacement-parts-upgrades
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - BryZad: Anyone know if the leadscrew up grade is going to be back logged ?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: yep. heater and everything
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - donhuevo: ^
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - donhuevo: bam it. I'm too slow
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - bamhm182: Haha
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: email robo
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM - bamhm182: I think that what we're missing from my chipped bed story though is that I actually had a successful print! And it was like 9 hours too!
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM - bamhm182: Maybe now I'll quit breaking my Robo, haha
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM - Blake Benefield: PICS?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM - BryZad: Should I E-mail parts replacement or customer service ?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM - Mike Glass: back logged? you mean for the $50 pricing
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM - jbigler1986: glass bed, heating pad and thermistor i got from them for $30
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:25 AM - jbigler1986: I didn't even have an issue. I just wanted a spare. You guys and having yours chipping you might get the same or even better deal
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:25 AM - BryZad: You mean for the testing runn ? Mike ?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Mike Glass: I have know idea what they meant by it..
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: daniel said it was $40 for a new bed
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:26 AM - bamhm182:
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: bry we'll have no way of knowing if the lead screws are delayed till they arrive on the 15th
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: nice print bam
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - BryZad: I ordered the lead screw upgrade kit off RoBo and it said won't ship till the 11 but are they going to be able to fill all orderes
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - bamhm182: There's a bit of ribbing it looks like, though
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - BryZad: On the 11
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.robo3d.com/products/lead-screw-upgrade-kit
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: that says 15th
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: How much for a new glass bed? Mine is working fine but I would like to have a replacment just incase if possible.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:28 AM - jbigler1986: that's what i told them in the email. lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: they must like you
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:28 AM - BryZad: Well it said 11th on mine lol so I guess it is a bit backed up
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: that's weird because that order page has said the 15th for as long as it's been up
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:29 AM - bamhm182: Also, shortly after I started the print, I realized that I wanted something to hold the cables up and away from the bed. Came up with this Macgyver'd solution
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:29 AM - bamhm182:
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: the shipment won't even be at the facility till the 14th
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:29 AM - donhuevo: creative use of an HfnC
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: those helical couplers finally found their true calling in the 3d printing world
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:30 AM - BryZad: Ha ha I might have got my hopes up to soon
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: I have a bent lead screw you can have
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Mike Glass: cant get the nut off, because the end is so effed up.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Blake Benefield: Bent or the threads are pushed?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: both

 

Aug 4, 2015 at 11:35 AM - Blake Benefield: hmm, if its actually got a bend that makes it harder.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:35 AM - Blake Benefield: if its just threads it not as bad
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: I could cut the end off
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:36 AM - donhuevo: what about attempting to re-thread it first?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:36 AM - Blake Benefield: doesnt need full length?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: Then build a straightening Jig
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:37 AM - bamhm182: Anyways, I'd better get out of here. See you all around
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: ciao
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:37 AM - donhuevo: see ya bam
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:39 AM - Mike Glass: dont matter it aint going on the robo
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:41 AM - Blake Benefield: been reading on the kossel rails too mike. seems as if the slides slow it down and add a lot of noise. Lots of people just use aluminum wheels on the extruded aluminum instead of nylon to eliminate twist
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:42 AM - Blake Benefield: theres a few that print the whole carriage in nylon and then it surrounds the whole leg
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:42 AM - donhuevo: http://openbuildspartstore.com/wheels-bearings/?sort=bestselling
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: they are proud of there shit, thats for sure
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:43 AM - daniel871: Anybody tried a PEI sheet on their heated bed?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:44 AM - Blake Benefield: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:291981
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:44 AM - daniel871: The Robo's auto-level hates the Zebra Plate, apparently. That or the Zebra plate is horribly out flatness/level because it can never get a good first layer on it.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:44 AM - Blake Benefield: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:441322
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:45 AM - daniel871: Always digs into it at some point on the first layer as it runs around a perimeter skirt.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:45 AM - donhuevo: are all your magnets evenly seated?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:45 AM - daniel871: Yep.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:45 AM - donhuevo: then it has to be the zebra
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM - daniel871: Glass bed has no trouble with levelling, it just sheds glass when a print is done.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM - daniel871: Or did, I haven't printed anything since that last chunk came out.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM - daniel871: Right in the middle of the bed, 2-inch rough circle of glass slivered out.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM - donhuevo: no chance one of the 9 autolevel points is directly over one of your craters?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i've heard good things about PEI
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:47 AM - daniel871: The Zebra plate doesn't flex that much when fastened to the bed.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:47 AM - daniel871: Or, at least, the small area that would span the crater wouldn't flex that much while the outer border is clamped down.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:48 AM - daniel871: Was thinking about getting some PEI to put on the new glass bed I ordered from Robo and just calling it a day after getting that on there.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:48 AM - daniel871: Because ABS printing, etc.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:49 AM - daniel871: Just need to decide how thick I want to get it/figure out how long it lasts.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - daniel871: A 12" x 12" x .030-.040" sheet is less than $20.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: how is an aluminum bed and hairspray?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - donhuevo: I'm wondering how a nice thick butcher's paper would do
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - daniel871: Probably catch on fire.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - daniel871: With or without blood stains?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: how would you adhere it to the bed?
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - donhuevo: painter's tape
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:50 AM - daniel871: Blood stained, then.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Mike Kelly: ptfe? not great
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: so why just not use painters tape then..lol problem solved
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:51 AM - donhuevo: haha. just thinking about alternatives
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:52 AM - Mike Glass: I always thought tape was dumb, but now that I have used it, I have never had a failure.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:53 AM - jbigler1986: it's annoying replacing it
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: not the green stuff I use, if falls off pratically
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:53 AM - Mike Kelly: oh good to see that win10 is full of microsoft spy software
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: yea there is a fix for that Mike
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:53 AM - Mike Kelly: the fix is not installing it imo
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:54 AM - Mike Glass: lol that was my answer
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:54 AM - Mike Kelly: glad i heard about that
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Kelly: was honestly considering installing it
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Kelly: no way in hell now
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:55 AM - daniel871: I haven't actually cared that much about Microsoft's additional software. They're going to be bored out of their minds with the things their market research tries to sell me.
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Glass: Oh hey your opening word, hmm let me tell our servers, oh your installing a copy of SW, oh I will report that also
Aug 4, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/gallery/I8u2G
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:01 PM - donhuevo: that little red switch is going on the end of a servo arm tonight
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:01 PM - donhuevo:
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: haha nice
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:01 PM - Mike Glass: why that one,
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:01 PM - Mike Glass: I thought you ordered new ones
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:02 PM - donhuevo: they still haven't shown up. tired of waiting and I have a bunch of these boards from tearing WD backup drives apart
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: or is this part designed for it
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:02 PM - donhuevo: just a small momentary SPST
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: ok gotcha
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:03 PM - Mike Glass: you hacker
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:03 PM - donhuevo: it's a little bigger than what I ordered but so what
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:04 PM - daniel871: That's what she said.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:04 PM - Mike Glass: cant wait to see it in action
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:04 PM - daniel871: Also that.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:06 PM - Blake Benefield: Old router reset switches work well too
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:08 PM - daniel871: Are limit switches that expensive?
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: it's a size thing
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:09 PM - donhuevo: not at all. I'm looking for tiny
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:09 PM - Blake Benefield: How often do you guys have to change out nozzels?
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:09 PM - donhuevo: smallest z probe servo possible
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:10 PM - Blake Benefield: 0120065355820448
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Blake Benefield: Sorry.. barcode scanner saw some numbers in my shirt apparently
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Blake Benefield: happens from time to time
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:12 PM - donhuevo: vertical stripes are slimming I hear
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:12 PM - daniel871: Every time they clog.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:13 PM - donhuevo: or you decide you want to print something really intricate w/ the .25
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Blake Benefield: Just a grey shirt... no stripes at all. just picks up the fibers sometimes
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:19 PM - Blake Benefield: If I order another kit I'm wondering how many extra nozzels I should get.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:20 PM - daniel871: You could always go for the E3D Power Pack. http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6/Full-Kit/V6-VOLCANO-POWER-PACK-175-UNIVERSAL-12V
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:21 PM - daniel871: "Give me one of everything! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" basically.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:22 PM - Blake Benefield: what's the volcano bit?
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:23 PM - daniel871: Basically, if you want to print really thick layers really fast.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:24 PM - daniel871: You really need a Bondtech or similar extruder to take advantage of what it's capable of, though, according to that Tom guy that does 3d printing videos.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:24 PM - jbigler1986: MK did you get my circuit built yet?
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:25 PM - daniel871: Like, I printed a T-glase Vase with the 1.2mm nozzle and .8mm layer height on the Volcano, it was pretty sweet.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:25 PM - jbigler1986: couldn't you add a 2nd drive gear on the idler instead of a bearing?
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:26 PM - jbigler1986: or would that not work?
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:26 PM - daniel871: That's basically a Bondtech.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:27 PM - jbigler1986: i know. that's what i'm saying.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:27 PM - daniel871: Drive gear *on* a bearing, so it'll spin with the actual drive gear, if you can't get the drive gears to work together/machine a mating gear.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:27 PM - Blake Benefield: Another odd question. It appears there are Arduino compatible graphics displays, and ramps LCD controllers... what does the arduino displays do
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:28 PM - daniel871: They basically let you run the printer without your PC if you've got programs loaded on the SD card.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:28 PM - daniel871: Also some limited on-the-fly adjusting of feeds/speeds/temps.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: so bearing on the end of an idler. then run a bolt through it. then tighten the drive gear to the bolt

 

Aug 4, 2015 at 12:35 PM - jbigler1986:
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:35 PM - daniel871: Something like that, yes.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:36 PM - daniel871: Now put that on a geared stepper.
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: yep
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:39 PM - jbigler1986: wonder how well it would work
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:39 PM - jbigler1986: not that specific one
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:43 PM - Mike Glass: blake, the video is only 10 seconds..lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: perfect
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:59 PM - daniel871: Oh my, this is amazing. http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/490/201507269000421490/201507269000421490.pdf
Aug 4, 2015 at 12:59 PM - daniel871: Quick glimpse for those that don't like PDFs.
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:00 PM - daniel871: The joke candidates are putting in a lot more effort than usual this time.
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:00 PM - jbigler1986: i heard about that
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:00 PM - jbigler1986: that's the guys actual name. lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:01 PM - daniel871: I know, that's what makes it even funnier than that Vermin Supreme guy.
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:12 PM - Mike Glass: haha I new a kid that had that for his license plates.. DEZNUTS
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:23 PM - daniel871: Game of the year coming out soon, guys:
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: wtf
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:27 PM - daniel871: Pretty much exactly that. There will be a main story, but the "base invasion" side bit will probably be a lot of people with nothing but livestock at their base.
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:28 PM - daniel871: They also have a clip of the guy with a horse stopping in the middle of the road, making the horse poop, then going off somewhere else and watching an enemy jeep go into a sliding crash when it runs over it.
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: not to bad
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:33 PM - Mike Glass: haha love the bubble that said, do you rike it.
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: cura wire print
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:52 PM - Bill Monroe: there must be more to DEZNUTS.. I know a guy on a different board that uses it for his nick
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:53 PM - Bill Monroe: probably some vague sideways refernce to a comic character or something
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: Bob and Tom
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:59 PM - Mike Kelly: going to the dentist is always such a drag
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:09 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Anyone else here update to Windows 10 yet>
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:09 PM - Aaron Mitchell: ?
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: nope
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:27 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Well...Solidworks is not yet compatible...
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:33 PM - Mike Kelly: boy windows 10 is just looking worse and worse
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Aaron Mitchell: It's not Windows 10...It's Solidworks being slow on their Service Pack release
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Aaron Mitchell: They should have already released it...
Aug 4, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Our entire school district moved to Windows 10 this summer...Good thing I told my school tech to hold off on my lab until we received updates from Solidworks...
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:22 PM - jbigler1986: No 10 for me.
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:27 PM - Mike Kelly: my license only goes up to 2015 sp2 so yeah, no 10 for me
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:27 PM - Mike Kelly: not unless we renew
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:29 PM - jbigler1986: Starting to hear not great things about 10 also
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: MS would really have had to try to make win10 worse than win8
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: and it looks like they gave it all they got
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: Upgrade for FREE* *By free we mean we'll sell your personal information and hope you buy from our app store
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Bill Monroe: it's amusing how many people resist change.. even suspect conspiracies.. when the vast majority are early adopters and have no issues
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:50 PM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/gallery/I8u2G
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:50 PM - Bill Monroe: how many of you guys are still running XP?
Aug 4, 2015 at 3:58 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Solidworks 2015 WILL be compatible with Windows 10...just not until they release Service Pack 5 for Solidworks
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Jul 29, 2015 SOLIDWORKS Support for Windows 10 SOLIDWORKS products will support Windows 10 64-bit Pro and Enterprise in SOLIDWORKS 2015 and SOLIDWORKS 2016. A future announcement will give details of the specific Service Pack for both SOLIDWORKS 2015 and SOLIDWORKS 2016 commencement of support. SOLIDWORKS 2014 will not support Windows 10.
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That's from Solidwork's webite
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:03 PM - Aaron Mitchell: ...and that feature that you posted on imgur, Mike, can be turned off during the upgrade, as I did
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:13 PM - PeterkSharma: my printer is starting about 1.4mm to low on the z axis. I can use my LCD to adjust but is there anyway to change that in the firmware or something?
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:13 PM - Mike Kelly: adjust your Z offset in the autolevel settings or reduce it in the slicer settings
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:13 PM - Mike Kelly: i know you can disable it aaron but more the point is that it exists is pretty bad
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:14 PM - PeterkSharma: are the auto leveling settings in marlin or lcd controller?
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: marlin
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: there is a spot to define the Z offset on the LCD
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: but it doesn't "stick" because the firmware doesn't have eeprom writing enabled
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: i write mine to the firmware so i don't need to modify gcode files everytime i adjust it
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:19 PM - PeterkSharma: rgr
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:19 PM - PeterkSharma: know the fan diameter that comes on the v6? i broke a blade off of mine.
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:20 PM - Mike Kelly: 30mm]
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:20 PM - Mike Kelly: x10
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:20 PM - PeterkSharma: whats the x10 mean?
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:21 PM - Mike Kelly: 10mm thick

Aug 4, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Mike Kelly: well lucky you
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:23 PM - Mike Kelly: best i got is a microcenter 45 minutes away
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:23 PM - PeterkSharma: Anyone interested in trading some specialty filaments? I have a few cool ones, and I'd be interested trading too.
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:23 PM - PeterkSharma: Whats a microcenter?
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:28 PM - Mike Kelly: it's like a smaller frys
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:28 PM - Mike Kelly: what you got , i've got some nylons and tglase
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:39 PM - Printed Solid: I might be up for trades as well. There are actually a few I've never tried
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:39 PM - Printed Solid: does anyone know how to change extrusion ratio in gcode?
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:59 PM - Printed Solid: M221: Set extrude factor override percentage
Aug 4, 2015 at 4:59 PM - Printed Solid: if anyone cares. LOL
Aug 4, 2015 at 5:59 PM - Mike Glass: I have some Xt I will trade for some abs
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:18 PM - WayUpNorthMN: Hey, would anyone know where I could get that model for the feeder Nema 17 motor that has "Robo3D" on it?
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:18 PM - WayUpNorthMN: The cover*
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:20 PM - WayUpNorthMN: It's like a little aesthetic cover plate that goes over the motor.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:25 PM - Mike Kelly: team robo's thingiverse

Aug 4, 2015 at 6:41 PM - Mike Glass: I cannot get anything to stick to the glass bed at all, even smooshed hard, not sure if the new can of aquanet is screwy or what.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:42 PM - daniel871: What would be the best glue to use for the magnets on my replacement bed when it comes in?
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:43 PM - daniel871: I would think something was wrong with that particular can.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:44 PM - Mike Glass: never had an issue before, so strange.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:44 PM - Mike Glass: thats why im using frogtape
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:46 PM - daniel871: Anyway, would any old super glue work or do I need a particular brand/type?
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:46 PM - Mike Glass: with the tape I can lay down first layer way faster, cuts my print time alot
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:46 PM - Mike Glass: super glue would work I would at least use the gel type though
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:48 PM - Mike Glass: or you talking about the the magnets attaching to the glass?
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:48 PM - daniel871: Yes.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:49 PM - daniel871: The replacement bed I'm getting from robo leaves gluing the magnets to me, so I was wanting to make sure I got tge right glue.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:49 PM - Mike Glass: hmm I think they use some sort of rtv because of the heat, but I have used superglue to hold on heatsinks to driver modules.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:50 PM - Mike Glass: you might want to ping robo and see what they recommend.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:51 PM - daniel871: The email I got from Jerry just says super glue.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:52 PM - Mike Glass: Gel it is then.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:52 PM - daniel871: One drop per magnet. This'll be fun.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:52 PM - Mike Glass: isnt he the one that said, to low on the bed causes fractures..lol
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:52 PM - daniel871: Yeah.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:53 PM - daniel871: I think I'll print on tape until I use up the tape I have and then invest in a PEI sheet.

 

Aug 4, 2015 at 6:55 PM - Mike Glass: the frog tape I have printed over 50 pieces and the roll still looks full, but I just use what is needed, you dont have to cover the whole bed.
Aug 4, 2015 at 6:57 PM - Mike Glass: and it comes off real easy, no residue
Aug 4, 2015 at 7:26 PM - jbigler1986:

Aug 4, 2015 at 8:18 PM - Mike Kelly: for sure
Aug 4, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Mike Kelly: bugs my wife when she's all flustered about something that i find irrelevant and i'm like "i just don't care honey, sorry"
