Feb 6, 2016 at 8:37 PM - daniel871: Some kind of Arduino setup, as the software bundle for it tries to install Arduino drivers on your PC if you don't have them already, but I'm not sure what board.

Feb 7, 2016 at 8:30 AM - toymaker: they cant be serious.... http://boxzy.myshopify.com/products/boxzy-factory
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:30 AM - toymaker: let me just save up 22k for that =\
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:38 AM - jbigler1986: Pretty good
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:41 AM - Bill Monroe: Starting new job tomorrow
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:44 AM - jbigler1986: Awesome. Congrats
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:45 AM - jbigler1986: Just staying there until full retirement? Or plan on working there for a while
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:47 AM - Bill Monroe: eh.. wait and see I guess.. I'm not 100% optomistic about this place.. owner run
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:47 AM - Bill Monroe: low-level job...
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:48 AM - Bill Monroe: just designing parts for machines... 95% solidworking, drawgings, etc... boring stuff that's well below my usual work
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:49 AM - Bill Monroe: ohya, i'm supposed to checks the kids' work before it goes to machining too.
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:51 AM - jbigler1986: Well something to keep you busy at least
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:52 AM - Bill Monroe: Figure I'll see how it goes.. leave in August if it sux
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:53 AM - jbigler1986: Good point
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:55 AM - Bill Monroe: in the mean time I brought a 5-ton truck loaded with stuff up here
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:56 AM - Bill Monroe: cleaned out a butt-ton of stuff from the city house.. 2.0 did the same here in JT filled 2 dumpsters!
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:57 AM - jbigler1986: Damn. Horder?
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:58 AM - Bill Monroe: sometimes it seem like it huh?
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:58 AM - Bill Monroe: that's what happens when you live in the same house for 35 years
Feb 7, 2016 at 8:59 AM - Bill Monroe: had a new door installed on the garage.. new fence going in - in a few weeks.
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:01 AM - jbigler1986: JUST house?
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:01 AM - jbigler1986: Selling the San Diego one?
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:01 AM - Bill Monroe: maybe.. might rent it
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: That's a tough call. Renting can be a huge headache if you don't have the right renters
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:02 AM - Bill Monroe: but the prices are very high.. might sell to take advantage. real estate guy coming next week to discuss a plan
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:04 AM - Bill Monroe: this guy has been getting 20% over zillow.. and my house is the hottest floorplan in the area.. also it's on a corner with behind the fince RV parking with hookups so... he's ready to sell it now
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:13 AM - jbigler1986: I would sell and save the headache. I would only rent if I had more than 1 property to rent.
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:18 AM - Bill Monroe: ooooo but cash flow is so seductive
Feb 7, 2016 at 9:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i have a house in Nevada that's a rental
Feb 7, 2016 at 10:15 AM - toymaker: C.R.E.A.M.
Feb 7, 2016 at 10:17 AM - toymaker: cash rules everything around me

Feb 7, 2016 at 11:35 AM - R_Lee: http://mattoon.craigslist.org/ele/5437372553.html
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: guess it would depend on the software though
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:37 AM - Mike Kelly: pretty sure you're right
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:37 AM - Mike Kelly: why would they buy all that then never use it
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:37 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess they realized large printers are dumb'
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:39 AM - jbigler1986: Plus 220 volt
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:41 AM - Mike Glass: They are only $17K wonder how much they are selling it for.
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: sounds like mg is considering it
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: haha, no way, I'm looking at getting a bigger laser.
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:45 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:45 AM - Mike Glass: this one paid for itself in 3 months so, bigger one is on the list to do some production on larger stuff.
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: sounds perfect then
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:48 AM - Mike Kelly: man i'm really nervous about using a 1/32" bit
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: yea, I have not used that small, remember baby steps.
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm slowing it way down
Feb 7, 2016 at 11:59 AM - Mike Glass: let me know when it go kaping..lol
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:01 PM - jbigler1986: I have used one. Just slow down speeds a little
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:01 PM - jbigler1986: Heck I have used a .6mm bit. 1/32 is .8
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: first step is to get my .125mm working...
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:03 PM - jbigler1986: Did you mean 1.25?
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:03 PM - donhuevo: it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:03 PM - Mike Kelly: err sorry in
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:03 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:04 PM - Mike Kelly: though it looks like i can use the 1.2mm bit
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:04 PM - Mike Kelly: since i'm scaling things up a bit
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:04 PM - jbigler1986: I take .3mm depth passes with theach tiny bits
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:04 PM - jbigler1986: Haven't broke them yet.

 

Feb 7, 2016 at 12:05 PM - Mike Kelly: do you know what stepover means
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:05 PM - Mike Kelly: for pass depth i've just been doing 1/2*D
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:05 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess i could go a bit smaller
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: http://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7853
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: There ya go on the stepover
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: I always leave it auto calculate it
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: ah
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i just set it to 25%
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm setting my feed rate to 1.0 and plunge rate to 0.3mm/s
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:09 PM - Mike Kelly: i think that should be plenty slow
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:10 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: Plunge into don't worry about as much. It's the side pressure that will snap it
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i just don't know how rigid my router is so don't want to force it down too fast
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: True
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: my coworker is trying to print star wars miniatures on the rep2x
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't think he appreciates how hard small is
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:18 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah small stuff is a pain in the ass
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:19 PM - jbigler1986: The nozzle heat is the main issue
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:19 PM - Mike Kelly: he sais his cousin works at autodesk (or maybe used to?) on their 3d printer
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:19 PM - Mike Kelly: i said he needs to get us one of those
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:22 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:23 PM - Mike Kelly: https://ember.autodesk.com/
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:23 PM - Mike Kelly: 50 micron X-Y
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:23 PM - Mike Kelly: *drools*
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:23 PM - Mike Kelly: best i can do is 125 and that's a pain
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:25 PM - Mike Kelly: finally done with the CAM
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:25 PM - Mike Kelly: not to get off my butt for the next hour and try and cut this
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: What are you cutting

Feb 7, 2016 at 12:55 PM - NFOsec: and gals, trans, hermaphs, transitioners, bi, tri, gay, etc. I do not discriminate -- as they said on Seinfeld -- "Not like there is anything wrong with that..."
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:55 PM - NFOsec: what's going on?
Feb 7, 2016 at 12:57 PM - Mike Glass: im here lol
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:06 PM - Mike Kelly: bah i can't figure out why my planer won't let me adjust the min height stops
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: too low to start off?
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Mike Kelly: it's set to 1/2" and i want to plane it thinner
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Mike Kelly: and it won't let me adjust the knob
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i swear man i'm kicking myself for buying this planer
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:09 PM - Mike Kelly: Turret stop is what the thing is called
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: seems like it's held in place with a ball pin
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:18 PM - NFOsec: may not even have a blade in it anymore.
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: mines got new blades, need to go use here in a bit.
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:23 PM - jbigler1986: Should have just bought a new cheap one
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: Harborfreight
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: i had to replace the blades
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: and basically everything
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: like new my ass
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: i think i need to replace a roller too, seems like it's not gripping the part on one side
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:25 PM - Mike Kelly: this has been my worst CL experience
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:25 PM - Mike Kelly: should have bought new
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:29 PM - Mike Glass: you should of had him show you it working.
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: Shitty
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:33 PM - NFOsec: yo.
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:34 PM - NFOsec: Yeah, like new Glass my ass. HA!
Feb 7, 2016 at 1:34 PM - NFOsec: isn't this from Airplane the Movie? She's starting to shimmy...
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:26 PM - jbigler1986: Go Denver
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:30 PM - NFOsec: go someone.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:31 PM - NFOsec: hey JB, I had meant to ask late January about the outcomes of your self-mutiliation legal exesrcises...
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:31 PM - NFOsec: was it favorable?
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: Still haven't had court
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: They requested mediation at the last minute bc they didn't want to go to court
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: So final hearing got rescheduled for April 4th
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:38 PM - jbigler1986: We requested a hearing to modify custody. The judge granted it. They filed to continue that but the judge denied it. Lol. So I have court for that this Tuesday and then mediation February 24th.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:44 PM - NFOsec: good deal Sir. I'm holding out for you...
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:44 PM - NFOsec: I'm GLAD the judge denied continuation since they've had more than adequate time. they're trying to step you up and hopefully they'll lose quickly.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:46 PM - NFOsec: decided to print the toilet paper holder thing for myself this time -- last time did it in Glod and gave it away as a gift. This time, I'm going to Plasticoat this for sanitoary reasons and hang into the spare bathroom.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:48 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. The judge is seeing what they are trying to do
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:48 PM - jbigler1986: Print looks really good
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:50 PM - NFOsec: yeah, was medium print 70mm, 10% infill
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:50 PM - NFOsec: they always try for mediation you know, but if you can demonstrate they're not willing to, it goes in your faoor big time.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:52 PM - NFOsec: JB, do you happen to have that one link I think 3ders.org or somewhere had showed all the various troubleshooting things for 3D printing filaments (heat, speed, etc).
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:52 PM - NFOsec: I was going to share that with someone but can't seem to find it.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:52 PM - NFOsec: oh, nevermind, found it. it was Simplify3D's page.
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:53 PM - jbigler1986: They only requested it to avoid going in front of a judge with their lies
Feb 7, 2016 at 3:57 PM - NFOsec: yeah, but that's what you need, have them perjure themselves.
Feb 7, 2016 at 4:01 PM - NFOsec: so, whatcha been printing these days?
Feb 7, 2016 at 4:03 PM - jbigler1986: Today is the first day I have used the printer in like 3 weeks. Printed a cookie cutter and door stop. Nothing crazy. You?
Feb 7, 2016 at 4:11 PM - NFOsec: ah. well, been doing all kinds of things over the past few weeks, but most serious stuff has been laser-driven.
Feb 7, 2016 at 4:11 PM - NFOsec: making lots of clocks and crap.

Feb 7, 2016 8:11 PM - Mike Glass: natural
Feb 7, 2016 8:11 PM - Mike Glass: think it will cost around $800 to get it run to the shop.
Feb 7, 2016 8:11 PM - jim3Dbot: That will be easy, but plumbers, inspections?

Feb 7, 2016 8:17 PM - Mike Glass: specially now with obomacare, my friends that are self employed are not happy.
Feb 7, 2016 8:17 PM - jim3Dbot: Medical for me on/off, thats why I downsized..........Trump
Feb 7, 2016 8:18 PM - Mike Glass: woot
Feb 7, 2016 8:19 PM - jim3Dbot: You see that $349 printer Daniel bought......seems cool....going to recommend to my son
Feb 7, 2016 8:20 PM - jim3Dbot: Benchy looked clean
Feb 7, 2016 8:20 PM - Mike Glass: yea, wanaho or whatever clone, Axis Labs has one and he likes it.
Feb 7, 2016 8:21 PM - Mike Glass: The Wanaho was around that price at one time
Feb 7, 2016 8:21 PM - jim3Dbot: yep, downloaded manual...looked fine
Feb 7, 2016 8:21 PM - Mike Glass: said it printed off the bat, no messing around
Feb 7, 2016 8:22 PM - jim3Dbot: I think the wan was about $399, both are great starters........
Feb 7, 2016 8:22 PM - jim3Dbot: like the manual tramming
Feb 7, 2016 8:23 PM - jim3Dbot: filliment feed appears easy as well............no fighting springs
Feb 7, 2016 8:25 PM - jim3Dbot: I hate to admit it, but i'm thinkin' aluminum bed, bigger heater, and inductance sensor..........
Feb 7, 2016 8:27 PM - jim3Dbot: Say mike, going to blow some z's, later..........
Feb 7, 2016 8:32 PM - Mike Glass: take care have a great week
Feb 7, 2016 9:50 PM - Mike Kelly: how bout them broncos
Feb 8, 2016 12:43 AM - NFOsec: ugh, Broncos won by luck. Carolina had too many costly mistakes but I think played a better game.
Feb 8, 2016 4:44 AM - jbigler1986: Denvers defense was way to much for them
Feb 8, 2016 5:44 AM - jim3Dbot: Agreed, Defense too strong.......Cam, appeared uneasy, sideline hit..was the beginning of the end............
Feb 8, 2016 6:27 AM - daniel871: Well, the Monoprice honeymoon is over. Got my first clog yesterday and I'm going to have to disassemble the MK10 extruder and clean it out.
Feb 8, 2016 6:28 AM - danzca6: are you using an oiler?
Feb 8, 2016 6:29 AM - daniel871: Nope. Every time I've ever tried an oiler it resulted in an immediate clog.
Feb 8, 2016 6:29 AM - daniel871: That was on the R1.
Feb 8, 2016 6:29 AM - danzca6: hmm...that is very odd
Feb 8, 2016 6:29 AM - danzca6: what kind of oil did you use
Feb 8, 2016 6:30 AM - daniel871: Canola
Feb 8, 2016 6:31 AM - danzca6: that the first I heard of getting a clog from using an oiler with PLA
Feb 8, 2016 6:32 AM - danzca6: hopefully that isn't a trend with the mono
Feb 8, 2016 6:34 AM - danzca6: watched Tom's Guide on the BB assembly that came out this weekend. That thing is project to assemble. He worked on it for 10 hours with a buddy and still didn't have it assembled. Looks like a great machine though. Still getting yours or did you cancel the order.
Feb 8, 2016 6:37 AM - daniel871: I canceled the original kit order and went back for the assembled version back when I was seeing all of the complaints about the Z-axis issues with some of the kickstarter backers.
Feb 8, 2016 6:38 AM - danzca6: yeah, Tom mentioned he wished he got the assembled version instead
Feb 8, 2016 6:40 AM - daniel871: That put me back at the end of the list, but I'd rather have the folks at E3D fight with any quality control issues instead of me.
Feb 8, 2016 6:40 AM - danzca6: also, they are using .9 degree steppers instead of the 1.8 degree. I need to read more about those.
Feb 8, 2016 6:40 AM - danzca6: yeah agreed
Feb 8, 2016 6:40 AM - daniel871: Noticed they added a fully assembled v6 hotend listing.
Feb 8, 2016 6:40 AM - daniel871: http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6/Full-Kit/V6-hotend-Fully-Assembled-1.75mm-and-3mm
Feb 8, 2016 6:41 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning gentlemen.
Feb 8, 2016 6:41 AM - danzca6: that's a not too bad for those who are leary
Feb 8, 2016 6:41 AM - danzca6: morning ww
Feb 8, 2016 6:41 AM - daniel871: Assembled, tested and pre-tightened on the nozzle so all you have to do is mount it in the carriage, plug it up and adjust firmware.
Feb 8, 2016 6:42 AM - WheresWaldo: Dan & Dan
Feb 8, 2016 6:42 AM - danzca6: mk mentioned a release of something new around 2/17 with e3d....wonder if that is it
Feb 8, 2016 6:42 AM - danzca6: Tom mentioned a new thermistor setup with the BB and maybe that is something they are going to release to the public
Feb 8, 2016 6:43 AM - WheresWaldo: I am hoping it is a Bondtech clone, but they seem to favor hotends.
Feb 8, 2016 6:43 AM - daniel871: Nah, they've had the PT100 sensors for a while.
Feb 8, 2016 6:43 AM - danzca6: oh, ok
Feb 8, 2016 6:43 AM - daniel871: They were just like the v6 listings though. You had to assemble them and mount them on the printer on your own intelligence.
Feb 8, 2016 6:44 AM - WheresWaldo: And corresponding firmware changes.
Feb 8, 2016 6:44 AM - daniel871: A v6 with PT100 sensor option, fully assembled, would be neat.
Feb 8, 2016 6:44 AM - daniel871: Just mount it, plug it in, adjust the firmware and done. No bits and pieces assembly required.
Feb 8, 2016 6:45 AM - danzca6: well, I can't wait to see. Always like new tech
Feb 8, 2016 6:46 AM - WheresWaldo: Still the masses don't want to mess with firmware. Just look at how many home WiFi routers are at the default net address or using admin as the password.
Feb 8, 2016 6:47 AM - danzca6: admin...rookies....I use password1...the # throws off any hackers
Feb 8, 2016 6:47 AM - danzca6: haha
Feb 8, 2016 6:49 AM - danzca6: dumb question, what are the benefits of a 24v vs a 12v printer psu
Feb 8, 2016 6:51 AM - WheresWaldo: Lower amperage requirements, usuallly.
Feb 8, 2016 6:51 AM - daniel871: More room to play, best I can tell. You can use more powerful steppers/heaters, etc.
Feb 8, 2016 6:52 AM - danzca6: ok...thanks. I saw the BB is 24v and wondered
Feb 8, 2016 6:52 AM - daniel871: Yeah, I bet the bed heater on the BB requires a 24v power source.
Feb 8, 2016 6:52 AM - WheresWaldo: You can get away with a slightly smaller power supply, all other things being equal.
Feb 8, 2016 6:54 AM - danzca6: they said the bb heater is designed to be more evenly heated as well
Feb 8, 2016 6:55 AM - danzca6: pretty neat tweaks they made here and there
Feb 8, 2016 6:55 AM - danzca6: Should be a great printer for you daniel
Feb 8, 2016 6:56 AM - danzca6: you said the R1+Plus is delivered wednesday?
Feb 8, 2016 6:56 AM - WheresWaldo: I think it is an inspired design, glad to see someone like E3D do something like this.
Feb 8, 2016 6:56 AM - Mike Kelly: Since p=v^2/r you 4x the power from the same resistance and half the amperage at the same power
Feb 8, 2016 6:56 AM - Mike Kelly: And the stepper motors run better on higher voltages for similar reasons
Feb 8, 2016 6:57 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning MK
Feb 8, 2016 6:57 AM - Mike Kelly: Morning
Feb 8, 2016 6:57 AM - Mike Kelly: The bed has higher density of heating element on the outside and reduces as you move to the center
Feb 8, 2016 6:58 AM - Mike Kelly: Though I find the glass is about 20C cooler than the bed temp because it's not the best bond
Feb 8, 2016 6:58 AM - WheresWaldo: It is an interesting design, I am sure it will be copied.
Feb 8, 2016 6:59 AM - Mike Kelly: Yup
Feb 8, 2016 7:01 AM - WheresWaldo: I also am a fan of Gantry style printers, so I am glad they went that route. Always felt you could get better precision that way rather than the reprap designs and all it variants.
Feb 8, 2016 7:01 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah I'm not a fan of the moving bed
Feb 8, 2016 7:01 AM - Mike Kelly: I also have distrust about gantry style printers so I'm glad the bigbox z is fully supported
Feb 8, 2016 7:04 AM - WheresWaldo: Well that was a design decision made by Makerbot then copied into other designs, that was one reason for me selecting the spider design.

 

Feb 8, 2016 7:07 AM - danzca6: morning MK
Feb 8, 2016 7:07 AM - WheresWaldo: Bye guys, gotta run, have a wonderful day.
Feb 8, 2016 7:07 AM - danzca6: take it easy WW
Feb 8, 2016 7:08 AM - danzca6: so MK the fully assembled E3Dv6 hotend wasn't the big news you refered to for ~2/17 release?
Feb 8, 2016 7:08 AM - Mike Kelly: Nope
Feb 8, 2016 7:08 AM - daniel871:
Feb 8, 2016 7:09 AM - danzca6: good thing he was wearing his mouth guard
Feb 8, 2016 7:10 AM - daniel871: I like to think this is the same kid and the cat/kid are in a blood feud. http://i.imgur.com/d602u7f.gifv
Feb 8, 2016 7:10 AM - danzca6: Karma
Feb 8, 2016 7:10 AM - danzca6: haha
Feb 8, 2016 7:11 AM - daniel871: Yeah. "Enjoy your spinal damage, brat!"
Feb 8, 2016 7:11 AM - Schlomo: Printed that plate in ePC Mike. Going to give it a try when i get home from work today.
Feb 8, 2016 7:11 AM - Schlomo: dang that stuff is tough
Feb 8, 2016 7:11 AM - Schlomo: and oozes like fkin crazy
Feb 8, 2016 7:30 AM - Mike Kelly: Never used it myself
Feb 8, 2016 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: You just missed Waldo, he's its biggest fan
Feb 8, 2016 7:31 AM - Schlomo: Ha oh yeah?
Feb 8, 2016 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Can you shoot me a picture of the plate unassemblef
Feb 8, 2016 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Whenever
Feb 8, 2016 7:31 AM - Schlomo: sure
Feb 8, 2016 7:32 AM - Schlomo: think my temp was too high, 250c
Feb 8, 2016 7:32 AM - Schlomo: its pretty white
Feb 8, 2016 7:32 AM - Mike Kelly: Hmm I think it's supposed to be
Feb 8, 2016 7:32 AM - Schlomo: Oh ok lol. First time i've used it so
Feb 8, 2016 7:40 AM - Schlomo: im going to re-print the carriage too
Feb 8, 2016 7:46 AM - Schlomo: I finished printing my Tantillus printer also.
Feb 8, 2016 7:47 AM - Schlomo: only problem is the Ardumega i got was a fake (Which i knew) but i cant flash software to it.. Attempting to reflash the bootloader but i haven't gotten it to work yet..
Feb 8, 2016 7:47 AM - Schlomo: otherwise, i have successfully 3d printed a 3d printer
Feb 8, 2016 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: awesome
Feb 8, 2016 8:22 AM - Schlomo: hopefully i can get that damn board reflashed with a useful bootloader
Feb 8, 2016 8:22 AM - Schlomo: who knows what the guys from China flashed on there
Feb 8, 2016 8:22 AM - Schlomo: my PC recognizes it as RAMPS lol
Feb 8, 2016 8:23 AM - Mike Kelly: it says RAMPS?
Feb 8, 2016 8:23 AM - Mike Kelly: that's weird
Feb 8, 2016 8:23 AM - Schlomo: Yeah
Feb 8, 2016 8:24 AM - Schlomo: Instead of, like, Arduino Mega or anything like that
Feb 8, 2016 8:24 AM - Schlomo: the worse thing is that I cannot open the COM port it uses
Feb 8, 2016 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: that's weird
Feb 8, 2016 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd just change the drive to be an arduino mega
Feb 8, 2016 8:27 AM - Schlomo: Yeah
Feb 8, 2016 8:27 AM - Schlomo: it has the right chip on it, but my best guess right now is the bootloader is incorrect
Feb 8, 2016 9:12 AM - max longstaff: IM DONE lol
Feb 8, 2016 9:12 AM - toymaker: yo robots
Feb 8, 2016 9:16 AM - toymaker: my friend dropped one of my meanwell ps while it was plugged in...i get skocked from the case ( my fault) unplugg it... shake it, something is differently looose inside
Feb 8, 2016 9:17 AM - toymaker: i open it up and nothing is loose or broken inside, put it all back together and it works fine... weird huh
Feb 8, 2016 9:20 AM - max longstaff: robo3d R1 is infinitely stressful
Feb 8, 2016 9:21 AM - toymaker: how so?
Feb 8, 2016 9:21 AM - max longstaff: well atleast mine nothing ever works
Feb 8, 2016 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i think his printer keeps jamming
Feb 8, 2016 9:21 AM - max longstaff: nah not jamming
Feb 8, 2016 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: what then
Feb 8, 2016 9:21 AM - max longstaff: its coming out just very wrong
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: and it's like... bad
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: and kinda sort does things
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: the incorrect way
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: c'mon man be more specific
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - max longstaff: i dont know how to explain it it has a new problem every day
Feb 8, 2016 9:22 AM - max longstaff: i posted in troubleshooting more in depth
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: so it's under extruding sounds like
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: did you buy a new nozzle yet?
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - toymaker: link to the tread im not a good searcher
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - max longstaff: not yet i was unnable to remove current one
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: what
Feb 8, 2016 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: man
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: how were you trying to remove it
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - max longstaff: i heated it up to try and remove it ect idk
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: dude
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - toymaker: first thing u should probably do is remove the top case so u can see everthign going on inside
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: we can only help you if you take the time to post pictures and explain in better detail what's wrong
Feb 8, 2016 9:24 AM - max longstaff: with a spanner and pliers to block and spin nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: what temperature
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - toymaker: ice cold
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - max longstaff: 240
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: you have a v6 right
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - max longstaff: to try and remove that is
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - max longstaff: ye but with stock heater core
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: ok heat it up to like 260
Feb 8, 2016 9:25 AM - max longstaff: or whatever u call it
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: heater core is correct
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: heater cartridge is also acceptable
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: or just heater
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: but yeah
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - max longstaff:
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i bought a set of metric sockets
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: for the 7mm
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: because it's WAY easier to swap nozzles with that
Feb 8, 2016 9:26 AM - toymaker: good idea
Feb 8, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: just be sure it comes witht he 7mm they don't all
Feb 8, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: usually they stop at 8
Feb 8, 2016 9:27 AM - max longstaff: im in uk so metric is standard i think
Feb 8, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: should be yes
Feb 8, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: more it's the size that's the issue
Feb 8, 2016 9:27 AM - max longstaff: on the arduino file when im calibrating higher is for more flow right?
Feb 8, 2016 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: what do you mean
Feb 8, 2016 9:28 AM - max longstaff: ill find the line im using atm
Feb 8, 2016 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: for esteps?
Feb 8, 2016 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: more steps = slower flow

 

Feb 8, 2016 9:28 AM - toymaker: does the heater get hot?
Feb 8, 2016 9:29 AM - max longstaff: ye filament come through fine
Feb 8, 2016 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: like if you walked 10 ft
Feb 8, 2016 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: if you took 10 strides that would be faster than 100 small ones
Feb 8, 2016 9:29 AM - max longstaff: that might be the problem when i followed video i had to increase it
Feb 8, 2016 9:29 AM - max longstaff: #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,723.38}
Feb 8, 2016 9:30 AM - toymaker: mike did u ever chaange the flow rate in the software for the ed3 v6?
Feb 8, 2016 9:30 AM - max longstaff: i had this all the way up to 1100
Feb 8, 2016 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: what toy
Feb 8, 2016 9:30 AM - max longstaff: following a tutorial
Feb 8, 2016 9:30 AM - toymaker: og god
Feb 8, 2016 9:30 AM - toymaker: repetier this a setting to change the flow rate
Feb 8, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: ok?
Feb 8, 2016 9:31 AM - max longstaff: {80,80,2560,723.38} so I should lower the last number to increase flow ?
Feb 8, 2016 9:31 AM - toymaker: max volume per second... i have 12mm cubic / sec
Feb 8, 2016 9:32 AM - Mike Kelly: do the math
Feb 8, 2016 9:32 AM - Mike Kelly: when you extrude 100mm how much is actually extruded
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - max longstaff: i did in 50mm and it did 40mm pretty much exact
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Schlomo: I have a 100mm stick i use for calibrating
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: do 100
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - max longstaff: i can do 100 now if thats easier
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: the math is easier that way
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: and you get a better result
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - toymaker: http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - max longstaff: okay cool brb
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Schlomo: or just double what you have.. and use that number
Feb 8, 2016 9:33 AM - Schlomo: so you extrude 80% of 100mm
Feb 8, 2016 9:34 AM - max longstaff: so 80mm
Feb 8, 2016 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: be sure that's true though
Feb 8, 2016 9:34 AM - Schlomo: so your actual E steps should be more like 904.22
Feb 8, 2016 9:34 AM - toymaker: mk, u use cura right?
Feb 8, 2016 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: simplify3d
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - toymaker: is their anythwere that allows u to input the flow rate?
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: max also if your nozzle is jamming or clogged it will cause more resistance so your calculation will be wrong
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Schlomo: old_E_Steps * (100/actual_Travel)
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: you'd be shocked how many issues are fixed by replacing a nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - max longstaff: no jamming or clogging atm
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i disagree
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: with what you describe
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: remove the nozzle while you do the calibrations
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: so there's no resistance
Feb 8, 2016 9:35 AM - max longstaff: okay but i can push through easy by hand
Feb 8, 2016 9:36 AM - Schlomo: i have a bowden, so i dont actually extrude plastic into the hot end..
Feb 8, 2016 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: ok well let's just elimate that variable
Feb 8, 2016 9:36 AM - Schlomo: but mike is completely right
Feb 8, 2016 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: also
Feb 8, 2016 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: tell the printer to extrude
Feb 8, 2016 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: and try stopping the filament from going in
Feb 8, 2016 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: if the motor starts skipping we may need to increase the torque going to the stepper drivers
Feb 8, 2016 9:37 AM - max longstaff: it lifts up to my hand
Feb 8, 2016 9:37 AM - Schlomo: how do you do that?
Feb 8, 2016 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: by tuning the potentiometers
Feb 8, 2016 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: what max
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - toymaker: http://imgur.com/s8HnGEe , mk, dou think my flwo rate is too high for the ed3 v6, ive never changed this settign sense day1 beta
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - max longstaff: when i hold the filament it lifts up the print head
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - max longstaff: rides up the filament
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - Schlomo: ah gotcha
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: no
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: i mean grab it right where it enters into the xtruder
Feb 8, 2016 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: try stopping the flow
Feb 8, 2016 9:39 AM - max longstaff: kk
Feb 8, 2016 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: toy that value is for manual control
Feb 8, 2016 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: that's not part of the slicing
Feb 8, 2016 9:42 AM - max longstaff: okay i did the calibration test it extruded exactly 100mm
Feb 8, 2016 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: cool
Feb 8, 2016 9:43 AM - max longstaff: without changing anything though so thats odd
Feb 8, 2016 9:44 AM - toymaker: thanks, so when i manual extrude say 10mm it uses that setting to determine the flow rate?
Feb 8, 2016 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: right
Feb 8, 2016 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a weird way of saying it but makes sense i guess
Feb 8, 2016 9:45 AM - toymaker: whats your manual flow rate?
Feb 8, 2016 9:45 AM - Schlomo: Hey mike, question for ya
Feb 8, 2016 9:45 AM - Schlomo: For some reason, i have a worse time printing with PLA than any other plastic
Feb 8, 2016 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: sure
Feb 8, 2016 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: toy simplify3d does it in mm'/s
Feb 8, 2016 9:46 AM - toymaker: maybe 12 is too high... and that why i get problems sometimes manually extrduign like 50mm
Feb 8, 2016 9:46 AM - max longstaff: ye i held the filament it very easily skipped steps
Feb 8, 2016 9:46 AM - Schlomo: with ABS, PC, PETG i have 0 issues with layer delamination. The parts are fused together very well. with PLA, i get severe layer delamination and i print at 195c
Feb 8, 2016 9:46 AM - toymaker: might be cheap pla
Feb 8, 2016 9:46 AM - Schlomo: cant seem to get good layer adhesion with PLA. Only real difference is I dont use a parts fan for anything but PLA
Feb 8, 2016 9:46 AM - toymaker: at least thats the case somewhat with me
Feb 8, 2016 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: got a multimeter max?
Feb 8, 2016 9:47 AM - Schlomo: i thought it was probably print temp, but i've toyed with that a bit with no success
Feb 8, 2016 9:47 AM - toymaker: try diff brand of pla when u get a chance
Feb 8, 2016 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: what brand
Feb 8, 2016 9:47 AM - Schlomo: hatchox
Feb 8, 2016 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: PLA is honestly pretty shitty layer bond
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - max longstaff: not that i know of but i just tightened the springs and now it wont skip steps
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - toymaker: i print about 95% pla
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: it's good for compression but sucks in tension
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - max longstaff: so guess that was part of the issue
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - Schlomo: hmm
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - Schlomo: im trying to determine what plastic to print my RoboBeast risers in
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - Schlomo: probably be either PETG or ABS
Feb 8, 2016 9:48 AM - toymaker: i do like petg
Feb 8, 2016 9:49 AM - max longstaff: so to get it to stick to my get would i change the g-code even lower got it at 0.7 atm
Feb 8, 2016 9:49 AM - Schlomo: only thing about PETG i dont like is it always ends up sticking to my heat block
Feb 8, 2016 9:49 AM - max longstaff: z-0.7.5 atm
Feb 8, 2016 9:50 AM - Schlomo:

 

Feb 8, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: PETg is best
Feb 8, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: but it's a PAIN to print
Feb 8, 2016 9:50 AM - Schlomo: printed that with PETG
Feb 8, 2016 9:50 AM - toymaker: lol i think im the only person here that doesnt use autolevel
Feb 8, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: jb doesn't
Feb 8, 2016 9:51 AM - toymaker: i manually set my z height offset about once a month
Feb 8, 2016 9:51 AM - toymaker: takes like 1 min
Feb 8, 2016 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: the new manual bed leveling mesh grid in the new marlin is very nice
Feb 8, 2016 9:52 AM - toymaker: i need to give it a go one of these days
Feb 8, 2016 9:53 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 8, 2016 9:53 AM - max longstaff: having a test print ill see how it goes
Feb 8, 2016 9:53 AM - toymaker: im sure i will have to rewire the limit switches to get the bed leveling to work right ?
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - toymaker: i dont really follow the auto bed level stuff to much
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: did you change how your z switch is triggered
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - toymaker: nope
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - toymaker: stock beta wiring lol
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: then no
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: as long as the nozzle can go "into" the bed at all places
Feb 8, 2016 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: oh beta?
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - toymaker: i think the beta is nc
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - JeffTheMess: afternoon robonauts
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - toymaker: hwody partner
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: so you have a screw hitting the switch?
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - toymaker: yup
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: ok
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - toymaker: which works pretty good i need to re adjust every month
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that won't work really
Feb 8, 2016 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't see why you need an offset though
Feb 8, 2016 9:57 AM - JeffTheMess: offset a limit switch?
Feb 8, 2016 9:57 AM - toymaker: i level the bed, using my granite surface plate and dial indicator.
Feb 8, 2016 9:57 AM - Mike Kelly: that's just tramming
Feb 8, 2016 9:58 AM - toymaker: then i adjsut the treaded rods on both side to get my z height offset ( from the plate)
Feb 8, 2016 9:58 AM - toymaker: usally print a long line across the bed and watch to make sure its very even all around
Feb 8, 2016 9:58 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe you're using the word wrong, an offset is a distance from when the switch is triggered to the position of the nozzle to account for the deviation
Feb 8, 2016 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: by code
Feb 8, 2016 9:59 AM - toymaker: im using offset as in the .... the tip of the nozzle to the bed
Feb 8, 2016 9:59 AM - toymaker: nozzle touching bed woud be 0
Feb 8, 2016 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah when the printer homes the nozzle should be exactly touching the bed
Feb 8, 2016 9:59 AM - max longstaff: im confused is my leveling off its currently just printing a ball on the nozzle nothing sticks to bed
Feb 8, 2016 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: that's 0
Feb 8, 2016 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: sounds like it max
Feb 8, 2016 10:00 AM - toymaker: nope it does not touchthe bed when i home it
Feb 8, 2016 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: then you're doing it wrong
Feb 8, 2016 10:00 AM - toymaker: maybe lol
Feb 8, 2016 10:00 AM - max longstaff: sounds dumb but how do u home it?
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: max do you have autoleveling
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - max longstaff: ye
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: reduce your Z offset
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - max longstaff: think I have the version after the beta
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - toymaker: if i touch the bed when i home it... then go print... the nozzle will print excatly on the bed lol
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: that's wrong
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - max longstaff: ye ive reduced it to 0.7 is it okay to go lower?
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - toymaker: lol
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: just look at the G-code
Feb 8, 2016 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what i said yes
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: the first move is G1 Z0.1
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: half of these descriptions are so terribly not
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: descriptive at all
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - toymaker: hmmm is their a firmware line setting for that move that i missed all these years
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: toy imagine if it was a CNC router
Feb 8, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: in your start G-Code you can set it with a m565
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: if 0,0,0 point was above the print
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: say .1mm
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: it would have an error of .1mm on the heigh
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what you're doing
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - toymaker: no it makes total sense
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - toymaker: yea
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: you're just giving yourself some slop
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: which is ok
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: and easier to do
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - toymaker: yea
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: especially on the beta design with the throwing of the nuts
Feb 8, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: but yeah
Feb 8, 2016 10:04 AM - toymaker: where is the line in the firmware? i cant believe ive never seen it
Feb 8, 2016 10:04 AM - Mike Kelly: what line do you mean
Feb 8, 2016 10:04 AM - toymaker: for the first g1 move in the z direction
Feb 8, 2016 10:04 AM - Mike Kelly: G-code not firmware
Feb 8, 2016 10:04 AM - toymaker: for the .1mm move
Feb 8, 2016 10:04 AM - toymaker: or is that done in the layer slicing?
Feb 8, 2016 10:05 AM - Schlomo: its in the start g-code
Feb 8, 2016 10:05 AM - toymaker: for the first layer
Feb 8, 2016 10:05 AM - Schlomo: something like m565 z0.5 or whatever your z offset is
Feb 8, 2016 10:05 AM - toymaker: where do i eneter the z offset... i must have set it to zero
Feb 8, 2016 10:05 AM - Schlomo: which is set in your slicer
Feb 8, 2016 10:05 AM - Mike Kelly: this print is 0.3mm first layer
Feb 8, 2016 10:06 AM - toymaker: .3
Feb 8, 2016 10:06 AM - toymaker: i need to look closely at the gcode next print/slice
Feb 8, 2016 10:08 AM - max longstaff: ah its sticking to the bed finally at 0.6 but i still need to lower it a bit
Feb 8, 2016 10:09 AM - max longstaff: finally getting somewhere thank you mike and everyone else ofc
Feb 8, 2016 10:09 AM - toymaker: ok im a dork
Feb 8, 2016 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: good to hear max
Feb 8, 2016 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: hopefully you can get it properly tuned to your liking soon
Feb 8, 2016 10:10 AM - max longstaff: sorry for my lack of knowledge
Feb 8, 2016 10:11 AM - danzca6: hey drone lovers...now you can use your drone to make a 3d model of your house...kinda cool http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160...-printed-model-using-the-dronedeploy-app.html
Feb 8, 2016 10:12 AM - Schlomo: Hey max, there is a ton of great information on this guide for calibration - http://reprap.org/wiki/Triffid_Hunter's_Calibration_Guide
Feb 8, 2016 10:12 AM - max longstaff: zoom in on scarlet johansons house (TBBT reference )
Feb 8, 2016 10:13 AM - max longstaff: ah thanks schlomo ill take a look
Feb 8, 2016 10:13 AM - Mike Kelly: that's sweet dan
Feb 8, 2016 10:25 AM - max longstaff: print failed ill upload a pic of what happened here

 

Feb 8, 2016 10:26 AM - Mike Kelly: k
Feb 8, 2016 10:31 AM - max longstaff: http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...-separate-easily-weak-prints.7696/#post-67245
Feb 8, 2016 10:31 AM - max longstaff: posted it in there
Feb 8, 2016 10:32 AM - Schlomo: oh boy
Feb 8, 2016 10:32 AM - Schlomo: you need some retraction buddy
Feb 8, 2016 10:32 AM - Schlomo: whats your layer height and whats your nozzle diameter?
Feb 8, 2016 10:32 AM - max longstaff: im practically using the stock gcode and setting with cura except the z axis
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - max longstaff: 0.3 and 0.4
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: you change the nozzle diameter right?
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: don't print at .4mm
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - max longstaff: nozzle diameter is 0.4
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - max longstaff: nozzle size*
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - Schlomo: i have a 0.4mm nozzle and i mainly print at 0.2mm, max 0.25.
Feb 8, 2016 10:33 AM - max longstaff: ye im printing at 3mm atm
Feb 8, 2016 10:34 AM - max longstaff: 0.3*
Feb 8, 2016 10:34 AM - Schlomo: Have you tried 0.2? the blob mess is a whole different thing though
Feb 8, 2016 10:34 AM - Schlomo: but you can see your layers aren't bonding towards the top
Feb 8, 2016 10:34 AM - max longstaff: what print speeds u guys use mines on 40 atm
Feb 8, 2016 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: print a 10mm calibration cube
Feb 8, 2016 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: 40 is fine
Feb 8, 2016 10:35 AM - Schlomo: i print 40
Feb 8, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: it looks like the print came off the bed and moved with the nozzle for ~20 layers
Feb 8, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: otherwise i dont know how that blob could have happened and be so large
Feb 8, 2016 10:36 AM - max longstaff: printing the cube now
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - max longstaff: print was still stuck to bed when I took it off
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - max longstaff: the prints tiny btw
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - Schlomo: did you watch it as the blob started to form? What was the printer doing?
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - max longstaff: just a close up picture
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - max longstaff: bout the size of my thumb
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - Schlomo: Yeah, its marvin
Feb 8, 2016 10:37 AM - max longstaff: no i missed the blob happening
Feb 8, 2016 10:38 AM - Schlomo: oh ok. Its odd that it is one continuous blob. Normally if i get a failed print its smaller blobs with some stringing
Feb 8, 2016 10:38 AM - Schlomo: unless it stuck to the print head and kept re-melting it
Feb 8, 2016 10:38 AM - Schlomo: with the newly extruded plastic
Feb 8, 2016 10:39 AM - Mike Kelly: when did you get your printer max
Feb 8, 2016 10:39 AM - max longstaff: ill have to check exact dates but around a year ago
Feb 8, 2016 10:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm curious if you may have 5/16" rods or M8
Feb 8, 2016 10:40 AM - max longstaff: my rods go into a slot at the top of the case if that helps
Feb 8, 2016 10:41 AM - max longstaff: previous versions didnt reach to case top did they?
Feb 8, 2016 10:41 AM - WheresWaldo: MK I just asked that same question in the forum, I suspect the firmware steps are incorrect, that and a rather large layer size is the bulk of the issue.
Feb 8, 2016 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: correct
Feb 8, 2016 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: i figure you have M8 but just trying to think
Feb 8, 2016 10:41 AM - max longstaff: ordered printer on 31st march 2015
Feb 8, 2016 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: of issues that there might be
Feb 8, 2016 10:42 AM - WheresWaldo: Mine was april and I had 8 mm, Max
Feb 8, 2016 10:42 AM - WheresWaldo: Count the threads in one inch of the rods.
Feb 8, 2016 10:43 AM - Mike Kelly: most likely it's M8, but the 10mm cube will tell us
Feb 8, 2016 10:43 AM - Mike Kelly: print it at .2mm
Feb 8, 2016 10:43 AM - max longstaff: yep its starting now
Feb 8, 2016 10:46 AM - max longstaff: also im using cura waldo
Feb 8, 2016 10:47 AM - WheresWaldo: What is your goto layer size?
Feb 8, 2016 10:48 AM - max longstaff: normally 3 just for time then ill fix it with bondo
Feb 8, 2016 10:48 AM - max longstaff: but im gunna use 2 now
Feb 8, 2016 10:53 AM - WheresWaldo: I rarely use 3 mm, for me it is on the edge of proper intra-layer bonding, everything has to be near perfect. My goto is 2.5 mm.
Feb 8, 2016 10:54 AM - WheresWaldo: But then I tend to under-extrude a fraction to make sure solid layers do not pillow.
Feb 8, 2016 11:09 AM - max longstaff: back from dinner cube is done ofc
Feb 8, 2016 11:11 AM - max longstaff: its 12mm by 11mm
Feb 8, 2016 11:12 AM - Schlomo: so 12 in the x/y and 11 in the z?
Feb 8, 2016 11:12 AM - Schlomo: could you post a picture?
Feb 8, 2016 11:12 AM - max longstaff: kk
Feb 8, 2016 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: Hola
Feb 8, 2016 11:15 AM - jbigler1986: Sup Playas
Feb 8, 2016 11:18 AM - Schlomo: That looks WAAYYYY over extruded to me
Feb 8, 2016 11:19 AM - Schlomo: i could be wrong though. Maybe Mike or Mark could chime in here
Feb 8, 2016 11:43 AM - WheresWaldo: Max, if you go to a terminal screen and issue a M503 it should display the options already set in EEPROM
Feb 8, 2016 11:55 AM - BryZad: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...85_6151028951620902023_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9
Feb 8, 2016 11:56 AM - BryZad: Got bb-8 skeleton printed
Feb 8, 2016 11:59 AM - BryZad:
Feb 8, 2016 11:59 AM - Mike Glass: saweet
Feb 8, 2016 12:00 PM - BryZad: Outer shell panels are printing as we speak
Feb 8, 2016 12:00 PM - Mike Glass: Bry where did you get the files from?
Feb 8, 2016 12:00 PM - danzca6: that looks like a happy man in that pic....well done sir
Feb 8, 2016 12:01 PM - Mike Glass: Must be the beer.
Feb 8, 2016 12:01 PM - BryZad: There is a group I am a part of that we are colberating to make bb-8
Feb 8, 2016 12:01 PM - danzca6: now if it could bring you your beer
Feb 8, 2016 12:01 PM - BryZad: There is a bb-8 builders club out there that has some of the dome files I am going to use for the top dome
Feb 8, 2016 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: yep thats where I saw them.
Feb 8, 2016 12:03 PM - BryZad: I bet I can make a door panel that could hold one but I think it will be shaken up unless I have it on a piviting system
Feb 8, 2016 12:03 PM - danzca6: maybe a martini then
Feb 8, 2016 12:03 PM - danzca6: r2 can bring me my beer
Feb 8, 2016 12:03 PM - BryZad: Yea Mime there is a bunch of people that are just printing the dome and don't know where to go from there or are just making a static prop
Feb 8, 2016 12:03 PM - BryZad: Mike G
Feb 8, 2016 12:04 PM - BryZad: Do you have a r2 Dan ?
Feb 8, 2016 12:05 PM - danzca6: no, but I would like both.
Feb 8, 2016 12:05 PM - danzca6: great job on the progress Bry
Feb 8, 2016 12:06 PM - danzca6: man, just scored 100 608-2RS bearings for $28 from amazon...can't wait to get everything for this CNC
Feb 8, 2016 12:07 PM - Mike Glass: wow thats a great deal dan
Feb 8, 2016 12:07 PM - danzca6: yeah, only 1 left and I jumped on it
Feb 8, 2016 12:08 PM - danzca6: that's almost enough for 2
Feb 8, 2016 12:08 PM - danzca6: they were from the amazon warehouse, so a returned set
Feb 8, 2016 12:08 PM - Mike Glass: 76 for the mpcnc right?
Feb 8, 2016 12:08 PM - Mike Glass: or 56
Feb 8, 2016 12:08 PM - danzca6: 53
Feb 8, 2016 12:09 PM - danzca6: what size is your CNC
Feb 8, 2016 12:09 PM - danzca6: I was thinking of 30"
Feb 8, 2016 12:09 PM - Mike Glass: cutting size is 28x19 so 10" bigger then than that.
Feb 8, 2016 12:10 PM - danzca6: I saw your quick release pic...came out nice
Feb 8, 2016 12:10 PM - danzca6: did you see ryan did the motor mounts in aluminum?
Feb 8, 2016 12:10 PM - Mike Glass: yea
Feb 8, 2016 12:11 PM - danzca6: pretty nice and good stiffness

 

Feb 8, 2016 12:11 PM - Mike Glass: im not every using it for metal again, too messy.
Feb 8, 2016 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: thats when I had my hand tool on it also, not my router..
Feb 8, 2016 12:12 PM - danzca6: what router are you using
Feb 8, 2016 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: I will make a smaller one for metal
Feb 8, 2016 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: make the bed out of concrete so I know its flat.
Feb 8, 2016 12:14 PM - BryZad: Will have to have you guys mill out some parts I was looking at in acrillic big box printer and some others lol
Feb 8, 2016 12:14 PM - Mike Glass: Bosch colt, the older versions not the crappy newer versions.
Feb 8, 2016 12:15 PM - Mike Glass: laser cut would be better.
Feb 8, 2016 12:16 PM - danzca6: I am looking at DWP611 like MK has. seems to be a good one
Feb 8, 2016 12:17 PM - danzca6: did I read you are getting a second one delivered?
Feb 8, 2016 12:18 PM - danzca6: laser MG
Feb 8, 2016 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: Yea hopefully end of march
Feb 8, 2016 12:19 PM - danzca6: nice
Feb 8, 2016 12:20 PM - danzca6: which one are you getting? Same as before or going bigger?
Feb 8, 2016 12:21 PM - BryZad: Freaking g lazer beams
Feb 8, 2016 12:22 PM - jbigler1986: Wife's attorney called mine this morning. Wanting to settle on parenting time now. Imagine that. The day before court
Feb 8, 2016 12:22 PM - BryZad: Hey would you guys be up to lazer cutting me a omni tool from mass effect if I bout the acrillic ?
Feb 8, 2016 12:23 PM - jbigler1986: I would have them buy it then just pay them instead of shipping it
Feb 8, 2016 12:24 PM - danzca6: well, that sounds like a step in the right direction JB. So court tomorrow?
Feb 8, 2016 12:25 PM - BryZad: Yea will have to see the source and acrillic is close to them

Feb 8, 2016 12:27 PM - danzca6: and are the parts pretty big (max X and Y)
Feb 8, 2016 12:27 PM - BryZad: I would say something sturdy like 1/4 or maybe 1/16 would work
Feb 8, 2016 12:28 PM - BryZad: I don't think they are that huge honestly will have to look at the files
Feb 8, 2016 12:28 PM - Mike Glass: Big Big Bigger Dan, Ginormous.

Feb 8, 2016 12:47 PM - Mike Glass: thats only 6% translucent, do you want to see through it or just light it up?
Feb 8, 2016 12:50 PM - BryZad: Yea want it to like electric orange and kinda be able to look through it
Feb 8, 2016 12:51 PM - jbigler1986: Well my attorney and hers are working out the details now so they we don't have to go to court. They don't want to go to court. I knew they wouldnt
Feb 8, 2016 12:51 PM - Mike Kelly: grats
Feb 8, 2016 12:51 PM - Mike Kelly: you mean transparent then
Feb 8, 2016 12:52 PM - daniel871: Why not go to court and get shit done and finalized vs. non-exactly-binding arbitration that can still come back and result in another legal battle later on.
Feb 8, 2016 12:54 PM - BryZad: Yea transparent sorry
Feb 8, 2016 12:55 PM - BryZad: If it has a orange hue that's fine
Feb 8, 2016 12:59 PM - Mike Kelly: looks like they call it fluorescent
Feb 8, 2016 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: It will be binding. Going to sign it and sent it to the court. It's not just going to be a verbal agreement thing
Feb 8, 2016 1:01 PM - BryZad:
Feb 8, 2016 1:01 PM - BryZad: Kinda look like that
Feb 8, 2016 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: I need a project

Feb 8, 2016 1:42 PM - Mike Kelly: print it again colder
Feb 8, 2016 1:43 PM - max longstaff: i printed the marvin at 200
Feb 8, 2016 1:43 PM - Mike Kelly: printing at 230 on a small print will turn it into a goo
Feb 8, 2016 1:43 PM - max longstaff: thats the bad one
Feb 8, 2016 1:44 PM - max longstaff: http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...-separate-easily-weak-prints.7696/#post-67256
Feb 8, 2016 1:44 PM - max longstaff: just uploaded it
Feb 8, 2016 1:45 PM - Mike Kelly: looks like a partial clog
Feb 8, 2016 1:45 PM - Mike Kelly: get a new nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 1:45 PM - Mike Kelly: or try different filament
Feb 8, 2016 1:46 PM - max longstaff: ill see if i got any here
Feb 8, 2016 1:48 PM - Schlomo: any thoughts/experiences on the e3d stainless steel 0.4mm nozzle?
Feb 8, 2016 1:48 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd just go for hardened steel
Feb 8, 2016 1:48 PM - Schlomo: welli already bought it lol
Feb 8, 2016 1:48 PM - Schlomo: i had the stock one which i think is brass
Feb 8, 2016 1:48 PM - Mike Kelly: ah
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Schlomo: and the tip of it got really screwed up
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Mike Kelly: CF?
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Schlomo: ?
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Mike Kelly: were you printing carbon fiber/
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Schlomo: carbon fiber
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Schlomo: oh
Feb 8, 2016 1:49 PM - Schlomo: I did, yes
Feb 8, 2016 1:50 PM - Schlomo: that was the first spool i bought actually lol
Feb 8, 2016 1:50 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah that'll destroy it fast
Feb 8, 2016 1:50 PM - Schlomo: well, yep
Feb 8, 2016 1:50 PM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 8, 2016 1:51 PM - Schlomo: im using the stock hexagon hotend in my e3d right now
Feb 8, 2016 1:51 PM - Mike Kelly: how'd you manage to do that

 

Feb 8, 2016 1:51 PM - Schlomo: cross thread
Feb 8, 2016 1:51 PM - Mike Kelly: just put the heatbreak in a lot?
Feb 8, 2016 1:52 PM - Schlomo: yeah its almost touching
Feb 8, 2016 1:52 PM - Schlomo: the top
Feb 8, 2016 1:52 PM - Mike Kelly: geez
Feb 8, 2016 1:53 PM - Schlomo: i have 5 replacement blocks waiting for the new nozzle to come in, so i wasn't too worries
Feb 8, 2016 1:53 PM - Schlomo: worried*
Feb 8, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: well more i worry about how hot the heatsink and heatbreak are getting
Feb 8, 2016 1:54 PM - Schlomo: i haven't noticed any issues with the heatsink getting too hot to touch yet
Feb 8, 2016 1:54 PM - Schlomo: but i gotta run, talk to ya later man
Feb 8, 2016 1:55 PM - Mike Kelly: well the heatbreak you can't really touch
Feb 8, 2016 1:55 PM - Mike Kelly: later
Feb 8, 2016 1:58 PM - max longstaff: this stupid nozzle wont budge its stuck
Feb 8, 2016 1:58 PM - max longstaff: got it heated to 269
Feb 8, 2016 1:58 PM - max longstaff: and still no budge
Feb 8, 2016 2:01 PM - danzca6: which direction are you turning it lol
Feb 8, 2016 2:01 PM - Mike Glass: is it engaged.
Feb 8, 2016 2:02 PM - Mike Glass: with dry filament
Feb 8, 2016 2:02 PM - Mike Glass: might need a bigger hammer.
Feb 8, 2016 2:03 PM - danzca6: nozzles aren't reverse threaded right
Feb 8, 2016 2:03 PM - Mike Glass: only if your upside down.
Feb 8, 2016 2:04 PM - danzca6: so if you are looking down at the top of the hot end, make sure you are turning it the right way
Feb 8, 2016 2:04 PM - Mike Kelly: use the force
Feb 8, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: but it will come off
Feb 8, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Glass: dont snap the heatbreak and pull a JB.
Feb 8, 2016 2:05 PM - danzca6: just don't shart yourself from straining
Feb 8, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah be sure you're gripping the heater block but not puttting any tension on the heatbreak
Feb 8, 2016 2:05 PM - max longstaff: i have taken it off before thistime litterally no movement
Feb 8, 2016 2:06 PM - Mike Kelly: we believe in you!
Feb 8, 2016 2:06 PM - Mike Kelly: you can do it!
Feb 8, 2016 2:06 PM - Mike Glass: put some alcohol on a rag and hit the tip with it really good then let it warm back up.
Feb 8, 2016 2:07 PM - max longstaff: im roundin off the bloody nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: lol wtf
Feb 8, 2016 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: what are you using to remove it
Feb 8, 2016 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: maybe take a picture of it
Feb 8, 2016 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: it should be easy to remove the nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 2:08 PM - jbigler1986: I just bend the heat breaks. I don't snap them
Feb 8, 2016 2:09 PM - max longstaff: using a pair of pliers and a spanner
Feb 8, 2016 2:09 PM - max longstaff: i dont know how its so tight
Feb 8, 2016 2:09 PM - jbigler1986: Use a socket on the nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 2:09 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i suggested that earlier
Feb 8, 2016 2:09 PM - jbigler1986: 7mm
Feb 8, 2016 2:10 PM - Mike Glass: Vise grips
Feb 8, 2016 2:10 PM - max longstaff: i dont know if i have the right socket
Feb 8, 2016 2:10 PM - max longstaff: pretty sure the thermocouple is snapped now anyway
Feb 8, 2016 2:10 PM - jbigler1986: Oh wait. Hex or e3d hotend?
Feb 8, 2016 2:10 PM - max longstaff: e3d
Feb 8, 2016 2:11 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah then socket or 7mm wrench
Feb 8, 2016 2:11 PM - jbigler1986: You have the hotend at like 240 or 250 temp correct?
Feb 8, 2016 2:12 PM - Mike Glass: he needs to cool it down real fast the heat it up, that should break the seal.
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - max longstaff: might not be able too
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - jbigler1986: Just heating it you should be able to remove it
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Kelly: i bet there's some super charred in stuff
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Kelly: max, you have to remove that nozzle no matter what it takes
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - jbigler1986: Must be
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Kelly: get some vice grips
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - max longstaff: well this is my second e3d hot end lol already spent £200+
Feb 8, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Kelly: so?
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: Buy one from amazon for $20
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - max longstaff: i mean if i have to buy it again lol
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: well then don't break it
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - max longstaff: oh i got vice grips
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: Since you have bought 2 don't feel bad buying a clone
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Feb 8, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: jb i was curious if you ever wanted that stuff from robotdigg
Feb 8, 2016 2:15 PM - jbigler1986: Sure do. Getting my kids this weekend so money will be tight. Hopefully next week
Feb 8, 2016 2:16 PM - Mike Kelly: ok cool
Feb 8, 2016 2:17 PM - Mike Kelly: don't mind just came across it the other day and thought to ask
Feb 8, 2016 2:17 PM - jbigler1986: I completely forgot about it to be honest
Feb 8, 2016 2:17 PM - jbigler1986: How much. $40?
Feb 8, 2016 2:17 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm not sure
Feb 8, 2016 2:17 PM - Mike Glass: plus $60 shipping
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: you'd have to find the conversation
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - jbigler1986: Hahaah
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - max longstaff: ye im pretty sure the thermocouple broke
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - jbigler1986: They are cheap to replace
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: i have way too damn many conversations
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - jbigler1986: With yourself?
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - jbigler1986: You crazy man
Feb 8, 2016 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - Mike Glass: He is a Donko's fan
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - max longstaff: yep its broke ffs now i cant take the nozzle off for sur
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - jbigler1986: Got a torch?
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - max longstaff: so many F***ing problems
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - Mike Kelly: coming in like a wrecking ball
Feb 8, 2016 2:19 PM - max longstaff: got a lighter no torch
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - jbigler1986: Been there done that
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - Mike Kelly: this is why i keep a few thermistors around
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - Mike Glass: dont you mean a few printers around..lol
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. Although sometimes you can't remove them either
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - max longstaff: what u guys think of the light6
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - Mike Kelly: well yes
Feb 8, 2016 2:20 PM - max longstaff: annoying having to downgrade but...
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - jbigler1986: Buy a clone from amazon for 20 dollars
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - Mike Kelly: max i think you'd be better off selling your printer and buying something like a wanhao duplicator
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - Mike Glass: I wanna hoe.
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - max longstaff: i had a wanhao duplicator 4x
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - max longstaff: i dont think i can sell the robo
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - jbigler1986: Better delete that before the wife sees it MG

 

Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - max longstaff: plus i payed full price then half again for shipping
Feb 8, 2016 2:21 PM - Mike Kelly: well you could donate it to a highschool then
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - Mike Glass: lol
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - jbigler1986: Not if it doesn't work
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - Mike Kelly: why did you replace the hexagon in the first place
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - max longstaff: im 19 im in uni i cant give away $1300
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - max longstaff: it came bent and wouldnt print
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - Mike Glass: I dont think she's as crafty as your X JB.
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - Mike Kelly: max you make a lot of excuses
Feb 8, 2016 2:22 PM - jbigler1986: Hahahah. Well she isn't very crafty herself
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: did you ever work with robo3d tech support while you still had a warranty
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - max longstaff: im not making excuses i bought a printer and it didnt work
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - max longstaff: yes i did
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - max longstaff: brian
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: did he ship you a new hot end
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - jbigler1986: They should have replaced it for you then
Feb 8, 2016 2:23 PM - max longstaff: ive litterally tried eveything everones suggested
Feb 8, 2016 2:24 PM - max longstaff: i tried that they send me the springs and insisted it was that
Feb 8, 2016 2:24 PM - jbigler1986: Not true
Feb 8, 2016 2:24 PM - jbigler1986: You didn't try a socket
Feb 8, 2016 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: seems like you're going at that thing with a sledge hammer
Feb 8, 2016 2:24 PM - jbigler1986: Sorry. Couldn't resist
Feb 8, 2016 2:25 PM - max longstaff: sure u ask me a question and when i answer it u fucking mock me?
Feb 8, 2016 2:25 PM - jbigler1986: What?
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: you somehow manage to get the nozzle on so tight that you can't remove it then you destroy the thermistor trying to get it out?
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - max longstaff: he asked me why i replaced my hex then complained that i made excuses
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: what are we supposed to think
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - max longstaff: had the same shit on the phone to them
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: if you had a faulty product you should have submitted a replacement part request months ago
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - max longstaff: i did in march
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: and if they didn't send you the correct thing you should have pressed until you got it
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - jbigler1986: Did you watch the video on how tight to tighten the nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 2:26 PM - max longstaff: when i ordered it i spoke to brian because its never printed
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: instead of spending "200gbp" on it
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - max longstaff: im not from america i dont have as many options...
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: that doesn't matter
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: robo's warranty is covered
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - max longstaff: i can call them and request peices that may or may not fix it when they get here in a week
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - max longstaff: i tried that
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't really care man
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: you didn't try hard enough
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - jbigler1986: How long have you had the printer
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: that's the proble
Feb 8, 2016 2:27 PM - max longstaff: ive called them several times been of the phone for hours on end
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - Mike Kelly: why don't you email or skype them
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - Mike Kelly: or submit a replacement part request
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - max longstaff: I HAVE I JUST SAID I HAVE
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - Mike Kelly: no you didn't b
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - max longstaff: yesterday i tried to and they send me away
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - Mike Kelly: because if you had they would have replaced it
Feb 8, 2016 2:28 PM - Mike Kelly: because your warranty expired
Feb 8, 2016 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: so if you really had a bent nozzle you should have made them replace it no matter what they said
Feb 8, 2016 2:29 PM - jbigler1986: When did you buy the printer
Feb 8, 2016 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: by showing proof of the damage
Feb 8, 2016 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: march
Feb 8, 2016 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: last year
Feb 8, 2016 2:30 PM - danzca6: I need a beer
Feb 8, 2016 2:30 PM - Mike Kelly: man i'm still hungover
Feb 8, 2016 2:30 PM - max longstaff: i had the option to cancel the payment but since the robo team seemed like they were willing to help i gave them the benefit of the doubt and went e3d
Feb 8, 2016 2:30 PM - max longstaff: wish i just took the money back
Feb 8, 2016 2:30 PM - jbigler1986: Why didn't they replace the hotend?
Feb 8, 2016 2:31 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd like to see the email chain between you and brian
Feb 8, 2016 2:31 PM - max longstaff: it was on skype...
Feb 8, 2016 2:31 PM - Mike Kelly: so skype log
Feb 8, 2016 2:31 PM - max longstaff: voice...
Feb 8, 2016 2:31 PM - max longstaff: i called them on skype
Feb 8, 2016 2:31 PM - Mike Kelly: when you submit a replacement part request you get an email
Feb 8, 2016 2:32 PM - Mike Kelly: what did you send in that email chain
Feb 8, 2016 2:32 PM - max longstaff: i dont know what ur problem is with me
Feb 8, 2016 2:32 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm trying to understand why they wouldn't have replaced your hot end
Feb 8, 2016 2:33 PM - Mike Kelly: and due to your history of not being very descript i think the issue is that you didn't describe the issue properly so they were unable to assist you in resolving it
Feb 8, 2016 2:33 PM - Mike Kelly: ie submitting a replacement part request with a picture of the bent nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 2:33 PM - Mike Kelly: if you did that I have high doubts they would have said no
Feb 8, 2016 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: but if you said "it's not working" and showed signs of under extrusion they would think extruder first, not hot end
Feb 8, 2016 2:34 PM - max longstaff: what difference does it make anyway im not complaining i bought the e3d im just trying to get it to work
Feb 8, 2016 2:34 PM - jbigler1986: Especially back then. They were very helpful
Feb 8, 2016 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: this isn't the E3D forums
Feb 8, 2016 2:34 PM - max longstaff: im not complaining or asking for anything im trying to fix a problem
Feb 8, 2016 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: and i already told you what's needed to fix your printer
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - Mike Kelly: a new nozzle
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - Mike Kelly: now sounds like you need to add a new thermistor in that order
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - max longstaff: and i asked u what u though of the lite6 and then u went off on one telling me to give it away
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - max longstaff: how old are u for fuck sake
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: Buy a very clone
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: V6 clone
Feb 8, 2016 2:35 PM - max longstaff: thank you i will do
Feb 8, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: the lite 6 is a waste of money
Feb 8, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: as is buying anything other than a new nozzle and a thermistor
Feb 8, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't appreciate your tone
Feb 8, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: you've been very frustrating to help so don't turn that attitude my way when I'm honestly trying to get you fixed
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - jbigler1986: Welllllllll
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - max longstaff: i was being nothing but polite u decided to start being disrespectufl
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - jbigler1986: Stop hashing on my mood
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - Mike Kelly: except you've been ignoring my advice to buy a new nozzle for over a week now
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - jbigler1986: MK go eat an edible
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - max longstaff: well considering ive been trying
Feb 8, 2016 2:37 PM - max longstaff: ive been asking how to get the current one out
Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: Didn't know this has been going on that long
Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - max longstaff: as its clearly stuk
Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - max longstaff: it hasnt hes exadurating

 

Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: Heat it up is the only way
Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - Mike Kelly: we already answered you on that, buy a socket
Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - max longstaff: ive been away over the weekend
Feb 8, 2016 2:38 PM - Mike Kelly: 6 points of contact will make removal easier and less likely to strip it
Feb 8, 2016 2:39 PM - jbigler1986: Since the thermistor is broke you will need to use a torch
Feb 8, 2016 2:39 PM - Mike Kelly: order a new thermistor and nozzle, £4.50 + £3.50
Feb 8, 2016 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: and then buy a socket
Feb 8, 2016 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: You will not break it loose without heating it up though
Feb 8, 2016 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-...TF8&qid=1454971080&sr=8-1&keywords=7mm+socket
Feb 8, 2016 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: there's your socket
Feb 8, 2016 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: you did not weld the two metals together, so they will in fact come apart
Feb 8, 2016 2:43 PM - Mike Glass: let us know what kind of filament you use also, I dont want that crap in my machine.
Feb 8, 2016 2:43 PM - jbigler1986: Not easily with the plastic melted and charred on there
Feb 8, 2016 2:44 PM - jbigler1986: MG you don't have a printer anymore. Just a laser
Feb 8, 2016 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: yea, guess you could call robo a real printer
Feb 8, 2016 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: couldnt
Feb 8, 2016 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: Hey now. How dare you say that
Feb 8, 2016 2:48 PM - jbigler1986: The robo is the best 3d printer on the market for home use
Feb 8, 2016 2:49 PM - Mike Kelly: i dunno the R1+ is fine for most users
Feb 8, 2016 2:49 PM - BryZad: max I had a hot end that was broke when I got summeted s warranty part request and had a new one shipped in two days
Feb 8, 2016 2:50 PM - jbigler1986: Correction MK. R1++++plus
Feb 8, 2016 2:50 PM - BryZad: Same with when my arduino was referring 50°c at room temperature
Feb 8, 2016 2:50 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 8, 2016 2:51 PM - BryZad: Remember that Mike that was interesting
Feb 8, 2016 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah that one was bizarre
Feb 8, 2016 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: took forever
Feb 8, 2016 2:52 PM - BryZad: Yea that's why we all were stumped
Feb 8, 2016 2:53 PM - BryZad: I wonder if it's a bad track in the bed thermistor circut on the board
Feb 8, 2016 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah something was giving it added resistance
Feb 8, 2016 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: or wait
Feb 8, 2016 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: less resistance
Feb 8, 2016 2:55 PM - BryZad: Yea that's true has to be in the soder track to the chip
Feb 8, 2016 2:58 PM - Mike Glass: Bry is hard on stuff just like JB..lol
Feb 8, 2016 3:03 PM - Mike Kelly: i've probably broken more things than any of you
Feb 8, 2016 3:16 PM - max longstaff: anyone got a link to how to wire a heater core?
Feb 8, 2016 3:28 PM - Mike Kelly: plugs into D10
Feb 8, 2016 3:30 PM - BryZad: Well the new thing was the random stops but we figure it out was with the xxl LCD
Feb 8, 2016 3:30 PM - jbigler1986: Well all the electronics on the robo aren't expensive so that's why I'm not delicate
Feb 8, 2016 3:30 PM - BryZad: Haven't hooked that back up yet and took out the button
Feb 8, 2016 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
Feb 8, 2016 4:25 PM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. I haven't had a reset button on kine since I installed it
Feb 8, 2016 5:26 PM - Mike Kelly: hey jb question for ya
Feb 8, 2016 5:33 PM - Schlomo: I got my arduino bootloader reflashed
Feb 8, 2016 5:36 PM - Schlomo: Just sent you those pictures you asked for, Mike.
Feb 8, 2016 5:51 PM - danzca6: This thing cost $4600...man https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/astro-pi-3d-print-your-own-flight-case/
Feb 8, 2016 5:51 PM - danzca6: one fancy raspberry pi case
Feb 8, 2016 5:51 PM - daniel871: In an interesting twist on the Monoprice, I took the extruder apart to clean the clog out and found out I already have the all-metal MK10 upgrade.
Feb 8, 2016 5:52 PM - daniel871: There is no PTFE whatsoever, and the metal barrel stops immediately below the drive gear.
Feb 8, 2016 5:53 PM - daniel871: So I just cranked it up to 230C with the cooling fan/stepper taken off the top and let it sit through dinner, came back and drove a paper clip into it, pulled it back out and shoved some new filament in until it extruded, then set up my PLA oiler from the Robo to try and print.
Feb 8, 2016 5:53 PM - daniel871: We'll see how it goes with the oiler tonight.
Feb 8, 2016 5:54 PM - danzca6: hopefully better than on the Robo
Feb 8, 2016 5:54 PM - danzca6: nice that you have the all metal...does that mean you can go hotter than 230C
Feb 8, 2016 5:56 PM - daniel871: I'm not entirely sure.
Feb 8, 2016 5:56 PM - daniel871: Seems I got some discreet upgrades on this purchase and I'm kind of in the dark on how to identify them and what they mean.
Feb 8, 2016 5:57 PM - danzca6: wonder if there is a forum for it to track down the details on that
Feb 8, 2016 5:58 PM - danzca6: maybe the waohoo
Feb 8, 2016 5:58 PM - danzca6: that's cool that you got it unclogged so easily
Feb 8, 2016 5:59 PM - daniel871: Yeah, I was all upset when it clogged Sunday thinking "Here we F-ing go again!", but it was pretty easily done.
Feb 8, 2016 5:59 PM - daniel871: Much easier than dismantling the Wade/Hexagon or v6 on the Robo.
Feb 8, 2016 5:59 PM - daniel871: Now if I can just figure out a way to keep it from clogging to start with I'll be set.
Feb 8, 2016 6:00 PM - danzca6: what PLA are you using?
Feb 8, 2016 6:00 PM - danzca6: brand
Feb 8, 2016 6:01 PM - daniel871: It was some JustPLA, now I'm using some of that 3DPrima Glow in the Dark Red.
Feb 8, 2016 6:01 PM - daniel871: It's Glow-in-the-dark PLA, and notoriously sticky. I'm still doing semi-torture tests.
Feb 8, 2016 6:02 PM - danzca6: so you think that it was just missing the PTFE tube and should have had it?
Feb 8, 2016 6:04 PM - daniel871: Oh no, there's no room to install it.
Feb 8, 2016 6:05 PM - danzca6: I had bad luck with JustPLA
Feb 8, 2016 6:05 PM - danzca6: might have just been a bad spool for me
Feb 8, 2016 6:05 PM - daniel871: Like, the MK10 heat barrel/cooling block/whatever is directly below the drive gear/bearing and the hole going in is just large enough for 1.75mm filament to go in.
Feb 8, 2016 6:09 PM - daniel871: We'll see how it does. Printing this. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:925556
Feb 8, 2016 6:11 PM - danzca6: That is a neat model
Feb 8, 2016 6:11 PM - danzca6: could make a good speaker stand for your PC
Feb 8, 2016 6:15 PM - daniel871: It's more of a conceptual thing: printing a complete assembly.
Feb 8, 2016 6:16 PM - danzca6: yeah I saw barnucles print it before. I need to try modeling more things to print as one assembly that articulates that like
Feb 8, 2016 6:17 PM - daniel871: Man, this thing bridges like an f-ing champ.
Feb 8, 2016 6:18 PM - daniel871: Just ran straight across the full width of that jack 3mm off the bed to start doing the rods? Filament is perfectly straight.
Feb 8, 2016 6:18 PM - danzca6: what? That's impressive
Feb 8, 2016 6:18 PM - daniel871: And that's with the shitty fan shroud that came on it.
Feb 8, 2016 6:19 PM - daniel871: Damn, the R1+Plus may never be opened if I can confirm that I can do temps for Nylon/T-Glase safely.
Feb 8, 2016 6:20 PM - danzca6: haha
Feb 8, 2016 6:20 PM - danzca6: selling it would cover the cost of the BB for you...well almost
Feb 8, 2016 6:21 PM - daniel871: Guess the only way to find out is to slice up a Bridge Calibration Cube and run it tomorrow.
Feb 8, 2016 6:22 PM - daniel871: Then a T-Glase cube.
Feb 8, 2016 6:22 PM - daniel871: Doubt I can get the Blu-Print I have lying around to work though.
Feb 8, 2016 6:23 PM - daniel871: It needs a bed that can hit 90C and the bed on this printer is specced to 80C.
Feb 8, 2016 6:23 PM - danzca6: well, experiment carefully
Feb 8, 2016 6:23 PM - daniel871: Though who knows, maybe I can push it higher.
Feb 8, 2016 6:23 PM - daniel871: I am, hence the little 10mm cubes.
Feb 8, 2016 6:24 PM - daniel871: Anyway, I'm going to go hypnotize myself watching this jack print for a bit.
Feb 8, 2016 6:24 PM - daniel871: Oh, and everyone needs to convince Bill Monroe to take 2.0 to see Deadpool for Valentine's Day.
Feb 8, 2016 6:24 PM - danzca6: enjoy...hope it continues to be a champ
Feb 8, 2016 6:24 PM - danzca6: haha
Feb 8, 2016 6:24 PM - danzca6: yeah he went back to work today
Feb 8, 2016 6:25 PM - daniel871:
Feb 8, 2016 6:25 PM - danzca6: hmmm...now that you mention it, wonder if my kids will want to go Sunday
Feb 8, 2016 6:26 PM - daniel871: I'm going to see it because Ryan Reynolds was basically born to play that character.
Feb 8, 2016 6:28 PM - danzca6: ah man, why did they have to make it an R movie
Feb 8, 2016 6:28 PM - daniel871: Shit, there's no way a Deadpool movie could be done properly without being R-rated.
Feb 8, 2016 6:28 PM - daniel871: Yeah, don't take the kids to it if you have issues with nudity/sex/violence.
Feb 8, 2016 6:28 PM - danzca6: true true...just now can't take the kids

 

Feb 8, 2016 6:29 PM - daniel871: Word is that Morena there takes a strapon to Ryan in the sex/relationship flashback montage.
Feb 8, 2016 6:29 PM - danzca6: but...still can take the wife...haha
Feb 8, 2016 6:30 PM - danzca6: well, heading upstairs to fix a computer. bbl and want to hear how the print comes out...still can't believe $350
Feb 8, 2016 6:31 PM - daniel871: Get one before everyone else figures out it's a legit good printer and QC drops from a volume of orders.
Feb 8, 2016 7:45 PM - danzca6: What is Robo up to to now... Ha-ha. https://m.facebook.com/Robo3dPrinte...6611628959:tl_objid.1017616611628959&__tn__=E

 

Feb 9, 2016 4:12 AM - daniel871: Daydreaming, because Elon Musk would take Stratasys or 3DSystems printers into space.
Feb 9, 2016 4:38 AM - danzca6: Morning Bill
Feb 9, 2016 4:47 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Feb 9, 2016 4:48 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Feb 9, 2016 4:57 AM - danzca6: Morning jb
Feb 9, 2016 4:57 AM - danzca6: Survive your first day back working for the man bill
Feb 9, 2016 4:58 AM - Bill Monroe: yup.. hardest part was avoiding boredom
Feb 9, 2016 4:59 AM - jbigler1986: That's always tough on first days
Feb 9, 2016 4:59 AM - Bill Monroe: met the guy I'm replacing, he owns a powered parachute. interesting guy
Feb 9, 2016 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: So I have parenting time starting this week.
Feb 9, 2016 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: the guy next to me used to own an aircrat engine overhaul company in Hemet
Feb 9, 2016 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: They called yesterday to settle so they didn't have to go to court today
Feb 9, 2016 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: what's that?
Feb 9, 2016 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: "parenting time"? that happens at conception
Feb 9, 2016 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: ..... and never ends
Feb 9, 2016 5:01 AM - jbigler1986: Indiana parenting guide lines for now until mediation
Feb 9, 2016 5:01 AM - jbigler1986: Way better than I was getting
Feb 9, 2016 5:02 AM - jbigler1986: Not what I am agreeing to in the end though
Feb 9, 2016 5:02 AM - danzca6: That's cool bill... Might be bored but at least meeting some interesting folks. Hopefully they get you working to your potential soon. Glad to hear you got a job.
Feb 9, 2016 5:02 AM - jbigler1986: Sounds like you fit in well there Bill
Feb 9, 2016 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe: thanks dan, i really just took it to get a little more income while I'm moving
Feb 9, 2016 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. it's a machine design company.. and that's what I do so, like-minded people
Feb 9, 2016 5:03 AM - danzca6: Keep fighting jb. Sounds like a real s storm
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 brought me lunch.. that causes a bit of a stir
Feb 9, 2016 5:06 AM - Bill Monroe: whoa.. sport bike running from cops rams a jap-crap sedan on the highway while doing 130+ mph
Feb 9, 2016 5:07 AM - Bill Monroe: sedan spins out.. motorcycle turned into modern art
Feb 9, 2016 5:07 AM - Bill Monroe: rider ends standing up in the #2 lane.. unhurt
Feb 9, 2016 5:08 AM - JeffTheMess: morning roboneers
Feb 9, 2016 5:08 AM - Bill Monroe: walks to center divide and sits on the K rail
Feb 9, 2016 5:08 AM - Bill Monroe: Jeff
Feb 9, 2016 5:10 AM - JeffTheMess: hows it going Bill
Feb 9, 2016 5:10 AM - Bill Monroe: pretty OK. you?
Feb 9, 2016 5:10 AM - JeffTheMess: Busy Busy Busy at work
Feb 9, 2016 5:11 AM - danzca6: Do you have s private office
Feb 9, 2016 5:11 AM - Bill Monroe: not yet.. i'm at a temp location
Feb 9, 2016 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: working with the "little people" until they get to know me
Feb 9, 2016 5:12 AM - JeffTheMess: you got a job Bill!?
Feb 9, 2016 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: ya
Feb 9, 2016 5:12 AM - JeffTheMess: nice congrats
Feb 9, 2016 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: thanks.
Feb 9, 2016 5:12 AM - danzca6: That motorcyclist probably need a change of pants
Feb 9, 2016 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe: heh... it was a woman too
Feb 9, 2016 5:13 AM - JeffTheMess: so much for early retirement
Feb 9, 2016 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe: maybe.. the plan is to work just to get some additional cash flow while I'm relocating.. but it could turn into something fun.. we'll see
Feb 9, 2016 5:14 AM - JeffTheMess: relocate? where are you
Feb 9, 2016 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: the other engineers seem real good.. relaxed no-stress attitude
Feb 9, 2016 5:15 AM - Bill Monroe: moving Bill Monroe Labs to Joshua Tree
Feb 9, 2016 5:15 AM - danzca6: Heading into the office. You guys have a great day
Feb 9, 2016 5:15 AM - Bill Monroe: cya dan
Feb 9, 2016 5:15 AM - JeffTheMess: ahh okay
Feb 9, 2016 5:15 AM - JeffTheMess: peace out
Feb 9, 2016 5:17 AM - JeffTheMess: so Joshua Tree is a permanent move?
Feb 9, 2016 5:17 AM - Bill Monroe: one of the guys commented that it was nice that my daughter brought me lunch.. the office girl told him it was my wife.. the looks were precious
Feb 9, 2016 5:18 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Feb 9, 2016 5:18 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. once completed, JT will be my permanent home
Feb 9, 2016 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: that became the plan the day I took 2.0 to see my place there
Feb 9, 2016 5:19 AM - JeffTheMess: sounds exciting
Feb 9, 2016 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: ya I love it there anyway.. when she fell in love with it, it sealed the deal
Feb 9, 2016 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: lots and lots to do to make it happen though
Feb 9, 2016 5:21 AM - Bill Monroe: Hey! you guys know who Iggy Pop is?
Feb 9, 2016 5:22 AM - JeffTheMess: nope! lol
Feb 9, 2016 5:22 AM - JeffTheMess: who is that
Feb 9, 2016 5:22 AM - Bill Monroe: ok well, hes basically a bi-sexual nutjob "musician" that sells records
Feb 9, 2016 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: famous though.. was Bowie's protoge when he was younger
Feb 9, 2016 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: anyway.. saw him in the Stater Bros Saturday
Feb 9, 2016 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: in Joshua Tree
Feb 9, 2016 5:25 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Feb 9, 2016 5:26 AM - JeffTheMess: how is he as a musician?
Feb 9, 2016 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: somebody dumped a butt-ton of money into an old homesteader shack up here a dozen years ago, turned it into a high-end recording studio
Feb 9, 2016 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe: Jeff, Ig you listen to his stuff, you'd have to wonder why anyone thinks he's a musician
Feb 9, 2016 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: never heard a word about the studio after that but apparently it's very popular because it's so far off the beaten path that artists like it.. no press, no distracctions, and it's easy to move around without a lot of photogs
Feb 9, 2016 5:31 AM - JeffTheMess: got a customer here gotta run
Feb 9, 2016 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: have fun
Feb 9, 2016 5:32 AM - JeffTheMess: dog and pony show you know
Feb 9, 2016 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: too well
Feb 9, 2016 6:23 AM - danzca6: daniel, how did the lift come out last night?
Feb 9, 2016 6:26 AM - daniel871: It was still running when I left for work, but only had about 30 minutes left according to Octoprint and was looking good.
Feb 9, 2016 6:31 AM - daniel871:
Feb 9, 2016 6:31 AM - daniel871: Can't wait to pry that off of there and see if it operates.
Feb 9, 2016 6:32 AM - daniel871: Next tests will be each of the next higher print temp filaments I have.
Feb 9, 2016 6:32 AM - daniel871: To see what the all-metal MK10 can do.]
Feb 9, 2016 6:51 AM - danzca6: that looks pretty good. I little booger here and there, but really not bad from the pic.
Feb 9, 2016 7:14 AM - daniel871: Yeah, it isn't absolutely perfect, but it seems to actually finish prints and do a better job than my previous printer.
Feb 9, 2016 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
Feb 9, 2016 7:51 AM - daniel871: Hey, MK.
Feb 9, 2016 7:51 AM - daniel871: What do you know about MK10 extruders?
Feb 9, 2016 7:51 AM - daniel871: I'm trying to find out what having an all-metal MK10 hotend (found out that's what is in the Monoprice last night) does for my extruding temperature limits.
Feb 9, 2016 7:52 AM - daniel871: But Google isn't being much help. Keep getting pointed to places selling them, but nothing specific as far as "Max temp = 250C with an all-metal MK10 hotend" or whatever.
Feb 9, 2016 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: my replicator's can go to 280 if that helps
Feb 9, 2016 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: the way they cool the heatsink on those is, IMO, crap
Feb 9, 2016 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: so that might be their concern
Feb 9, 2016 8:18 AM - Schlomo: Morning mike
Feb 9, 2016 8:19 AM - Schlomo: I have a query
Feb 9, 2016 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: k
Feb 9, 2016 8:19 AM - Schlomo: Tried to do a print with PETG last night, and this is the 3rd time the filament has swelled to ~2.2mm while inside the heatsink
Feb 9, 2016 8:19 AM - Schlomo: close to the heater block
Feb 9, 2016 8:19 AM - Schlomo: im assuming, with the heated chamber that the fan is just not cooling it enough
Feb 9, 2016 8:20 AM - Schlomo: would you agree?
Feb 9, 2016 8:20 AM - Mike Kelly: well i did say that thing yesterday about the heat break
Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Schlomo: lol

 

Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: PETg doesn't need a heated chamber either
Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Schlomo: well its in my garage...
Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: well i mean keep it at like 20c
Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Schlomo: its just wierd to me that it doesnt do that with ABS
Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: is all you need
Feb 9, 2016 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: ABS has a higher tG
Feb 9, 2016 8:22 AM - Mike Kelly: PETg is like 70C, abs is 105ish
Feb 9, 2016 8:22 AM - Schlomo: oh i was thinking opposite
Feb 9, 2016 8:22 AM - Mike Kelly: abs is an oddity
Feb 9, 2016 8:22 AM - Schlomo: good to know
Feb 9, 2016 8:24 AM - Mike Kelly: man i cannot figure out what's wrong with our CNC plasma
Feb 9, 2016 8:25 AM - Schlomo: whats it doing?
Feb 9, 2016 8:25 AM - Schlomo: that PC single E3D plate works like a charm btw. Nice and stiff with the PC.
Feb 9, 2016 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: well they had been struggling with getting it moving at all
Feb 9, 2016 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: awesome
Feb 9, 2016 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: so i messed with it on friday and was able to get the movements back, BUT as soon as you enabled the machine the torch turns on
Feb 9, 2016 8:26 AM - Schlomo: yeah, i dont think i need to reprint the whole carriage anymore. the PC really stiffens the whole thing up
Feb 9, 2016 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: in this weird sputtering sort of way
Feb 9, 2016 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that middle plate is critical for support
Feb 9, 2016 8:26 AM - Schlomo: thats wierd on the CNC though
Feb 9, 2016 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah shit's all fucked up
Feb 9, 2016 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: i want to like start from scratch
Feb 9, 2016 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: but i don't think we have the license to mach 3 or w/e
Feb 9, 2016 8:27 AM - Schlomo: sounds like sw to me but thats really what I deal with all day so lol
Feb 9, 2016 8:27 AM - Schlomo: 90% of the time for my job its software
Feb 9, 2016 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm 99% inside solidworks
Feb 9, 2016 8:28 AM - Schlomo: i need to get more experience
Feb 9, 2016 8:28 AM - Schlomo: just found out my work pc we can get solidworks as part of some global Bosch license agreement
Feb 9, 2016 8:28 AM - Schlomo: i was like, "Hell yeah gimme gimme"
Feb 9, 2016 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: oh man
Feb 9, 2016 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
Feb 9, 2016 8:29 AM - Schlomo: IT almost wouldnt push the package to my PC lol
Feb 9, 2016 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: if we ever get money again and i can reactivate our subscriptions i'm gonna try and get some SW certs
Feb 9, 2016 8:32 AM - Schlomo: i gotta figure out how to checkout a license for this. Its Solidworks 2014 Premium
Feb 9, 2016 8:32 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm trying to call the people who made our plasma table to get some support but their mailbox is full i guess
Feb 9, 2016 8:32 AM - Schlomo: Know the difference between Standard and Premium solidworks?
Feb 9, 2016 8:40 AM - Schlomo: nvm
Feb 9, 2016 8:49 AM - jbigler1986: MK what is your question
Feb 9, 2016 9:01 AM - toymaker: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SSR30XW-204...Rail-4Block-/191552836617?hash=item2c99705409 come to papa
Feb 9, 2016 9:01 AM - toymaker: i got him down to 700$ gonna try for 650$
Feb 9, 2016 9:04 AM - toymaker: i wish prices changed daily to reflect how the us$ is doing gloablly
Feb 9, 2016 9:30 AM - AxisLab: ..........Daniel871 .... You on here?
Feb 9, 2016 9:37 AM - danzca6: doesn't look like it at the moment...how's it going Axis
Feb 9, 2016 9:40 AM - AxisLab: Going well. I just want to break it to him that he doesn't have an all metal hotend in there, like he stated earlier.
Feb 9, 2016 9:40 AM - AxisLab: you cant see, or access the PTFE tube, from where he was looking.
Feb 9, 2016 9:41 AM - danzca6: ah, bummer, that would have been a nice prize in the box for him
Feb 9, 2016 9:41 AM - danzca6: he's getting pretty great results with that printer
Feb 9, 2016 9:42 AM - AxisLab: Yeah. the top of the hot-end looks the same on both. To get to the liner, you need to drop the nozzle/hotend from the block. It's a simple set screw, but it didn't sound like that was what he did.
Feb 9, 2016 9:44 AM - AxisLab: I'm just typing it here, in case he see's it, but I don't think he ever even saw me post twice the link to the all metal lol
Feb 9, 2016 9:44 AM - danzca6: what was that link again?
Feb 9, 2016 9:44 AM - danzca6: haha
Feb 9, 2016 9:44 AM - AxisLab: http://www.micro-swiss.com/#!product-page/cv9c/29551477-6081-c30f-04fe-cece31e3ba6f
Feb 9, 2016 9:45 AM - danzca6: what temps can that one do?
Feb 9, 2016 9:46 AM - AxisLab: I still don't push it past the 250-260 range.
Feb 9, 2016 9:47 AM - AxisLab: Truthfully, these printers handle sub 230 great, but They get alot of temp flux at higher temps.
Feb 9, 2016 9:47 AM - danzca6: does it need a cooling fan like the hex we have?
Feb 9, 2016 9:47 AM - AxisLab: there are people working on that, even PiD tuning is failing.
Feb 9, 2016 9:47 AM - AxisLab: Yeah, two fans. parts & hotend
Feb 9, 2016 9:48 AM - danzca6: is there any way to get an e3d hotend into one of these?
Feb 9, 2016 9:50 AM - donhuevo: afternoon fellas
Feb 9, 2016 9:51 AM - JeffTheMess: sup don
Feb 9, 2016 9:51 AM - JeffTheMess: anybody use makerbot filament?
Feb 9, 2016 9:51 AM - donhuevo: finally caught up and able to take a breath
Feb 9, 2016 9:53 AM - JeffTheMess: noice
Feb 9, 2016 9:53 AM - danzca6: no matter what bill clinton says, it is always better to inhale
Feb 9, 2016 9:56 AM - JeffTheMess: boom
Feb 9, 2016 10:30 AM - daniel871: Yeah, I figured that out about the hotend when looking around to see how difficult it would be to print a direct-drive mount for the E3D v6.
Feb 9, 2016 10:31 AM - daniel871: It looks like all of the direct-drive mount designs drop the tip of the hotend too far to leave the Z-homing switch where it is though, and I really don't want to mess with that.
Feb 9, 2016 10:32 AM - daniel871: I've got the all-metal hotend on order just to eliminate the PTFE wear-out issue, even if I never push it to print hotter materials.
Feb 9, 2016 10:37 AM - AxisLab: Okay, so you did finally see me lol. I was wondering if you had me blocked or something haha.
Feb 9, 2016 10:51 AM - donhuevo: for direct drive, what do you guys think about something like this??? http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...ema-8-stepper-motor-8hs150604spg19-p-247.html
Feb 9, 2016 10:51 AM - donhuevo: I'm thinking it has to be almost half the weight
Feb 9, 2016 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what that micron 3dp company does
Feb 9, 2016 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: too much money imo
Feb 9, 2016 10:54 AM - donhuevo: I guess you have to decide what's more important... money or time
Feb 9, 2016 10:55 AM - donhuevo: the greater the inertia, the slower you have to print
Feb 9, 2016 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah but it makes such little difference
Feb 9, 2016 10:56 AM - donhuevo: now you have me wondering if doubling the belts would help combat the effects of inertia
Feb 9, 2016 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: inertia really isn't you limiting factor in 3d printing
Feb 9, 2016 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: it's how fast you can consistently flow filament
Feb 9, 2016 10:56 AM - donhuevo: it can wreck a corner
Feb 9, 2016 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: a 2:15 minute print at 60mm/s would take like 2:05 minutes at 90-100mm/s
Feb 9, 2016 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: it's just not worth the headache
Feb 9, 2016 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: and considering my printer has so much down time i don't mind those extra 10 minutes
Feb 9, 2016 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: if i really cared about speed i'd go with a volcano
Feb 9, 2016 10:58 AM - donhuevo: my only concern was flinging a nema17 around on a direct drive carriage
Feb 9, 2016 10:58 AM - Mike Kelly: the replicator2x can do 120mm/s with 2 extruders on it
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - donhuevo: and before I forget, how's the baby healing?
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: she's doing really well
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - donhuevo: excellent
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: hasn't been messing with her stitches at all which is great
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: she's starting to feel better and putting some weight on it
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: the muscle atrophy has already gotten really bad
Feb 9, 2016 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm looking forward to getting the staples out so i can get her into swimming rehab
Feb 9, 2016 11:00 AM - donhuevo: that'll be fun for her
Feb 9, 2016 11:00 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm thinking she'll have a great time
Feb 9, 2016 11:00 AM - Mike Kelly: she loves swimming
Feb 9, 2016 11:03 AM - daniel871: Another item that may be useful for the Robo: http://www.amazon.com/3D-Printer-Ti..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=0HVNAC0RENGVJHNS28HB
Feb 9, 2016 11:03 AM - daniel871: The Monoprice has these on it's belts.
Feb 9, 2016 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: robo did that for a short while

 

Feb 9, 2016 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: because the people in china were incapable of properly tightening the belts
Feb 9, 2016 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: but eventually i guess they went back to the zip tie method
Feb 9, 2016 11:04 AM - daniel871: I like the idea of pulling them semi-taught and then putting one of those tensioner springs on it.
Feb 9, 2016 11:04 AM - AxisLab: I think it adds to ringing though.
Feb 9, 2016 11:05 AM - AxisLab: I noticed a big difference after removing them and hand tensioning my belts.
Feb 9, 2016 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: the less DoF the better
Feb 9, 2016 11:14 AM - donhuevo: ringing... damned inertia
Feb 9, 2016 11:22 AM - danzca6: Those springs are no good? I wondered about adding them because I see others using them. I didn't know if it helped or hurt over just hand tensioning the belts. I really like Mike's new x-carriage with the way it holds the belt and allows for tightening over using the zip ties
Feb 9, 2016 11:22 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it gives you elasticity, thus backlash
Feb 9, 2016 11:23 AM - Mike Kelly: you want the belt to be tight but not elastic
Feb 9, 2016 11:23 AM - donhuevo: I like the idea of making the pulley on the far idler end adjustable
Feb 9, 2016 11:25 AM - danzca6: I just tighten mine up to sound like strumming/plucking a guitar, I think I heard that was the desired tension somewhere.
Feb 9, 2016 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: me too don
Feb 9, 2016 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i think that's how the taz does it's tensioning
Feb 9, 2016 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: the bigbox is in a similar vein
Feb 9, 2016 11:26 AM - donhuevo: I'm kinda kicking myself for not building that into my new printer
Feb 9, 2016 11:27 AM - danzca6: always something to refactor don
Feb 9, 2016 11:28 AM - donhuevo: true
Feb 9, 2016 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm trying to figure out how the taz does tensioning
Feb 9, 2016 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: the replicator just has you slide the motor over...
Feb 9, 2016 11:37 AM - Mike Kelly: taz might be the same
Feb 9, 2016 11:40 AM - donhuevo: either that or there's something on the carriage
Feb 9, 2016 11:41 AM - donhuevo: I couldn't find a single picture of the carriage from the back
Feb 9, 2016 11:45 AM - danzca6: taz 5 manual talks about losening a M3 bolt on carriage to tighten belt.
Feb 9, 2016 11:47 AM - donhuevo: found one...
Feb 9, 2016 11:48 AM - danzca6: very similar to your new modular carriage MK for the belt clamps
Feb 9, 2016 11:51 AM - danzca6: question...I see on daniel's new printer and the taz style that the x carriage rods are one over the other instead of side by side. Why only 3 bearings (two on top and one on bottom) instead of 4? Better for alignment?
Feb 9, 2016 11:53 AM - AxisLab: Actually, most people cut that down even further to two bearings, by swapping the two on top, for one single longer one.
Feb 9, 2016 11:54 AM - AxisLab: http://www.3dprinterbrain.com/pmwiki.php/DupI3/Xaxisbearingmod
Feb 9, 2016 11:56 AM - danzca6: interesting...what is the advantage?
Feb 9, 2016 11:57 AM - donhuevo: a skinnier carriage would give you a little more x
Feb 9, 2016 11:57 AM - donhuevo: a little lighter too
Feb 9, 2016 11:57 AM - danzca6: ok, thanks.
Feb 9, 2016 11:58 AM - AxisLab: Mostly it's the weight thing, but I think I side with mike a bit in his earlier statement about weight and speed.
Feb 9, 2016 11:59 AM - AxisLab: I haven't messed with any of mine, bearing wise that is.
Feb 9, 2016 11:59 AM - donhuevo: are you still twiddling your threaded rods axis?
Feb 9, 2016 12:00 PM - AxisLab: Only if I get board
Feb 9, 2016 12:00 PM - daniel871: Well, other than putting the real all-metal hotend on and experimenting with other materials, I'm thinking there isn't much I want to change on the Monoprice printer because whoever put it together/did the QC did a bang-up job.
Feb 9, 2016 12:00 PM - daniel871: Everything seems dialed-in just about perfect, though I'll have to see what causes the occasional blip in otherwise perfect prints.
Feb 9, 2016 12:01 PM - daniel871: I mean, that jack print was just about perfect except for two spots near the top of the print.
Feb 9, 2016 12:02 PM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/zRXVUnJ.jpg if the caching or whatever won't let you scroll up far enough.
Feb 9, 2016 12:02 PM - AxisLab: I think you will still like the r1+ better still. But yeah, I like these little ninja black printers.
Feb 9, 2016 12:02 PM - AxisLab: Ive broken every single knob of those jacks that I have printed. I gave up lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:04 PM - AxisLab: Also look what Aldis is selling. In Australia that is lol. $350 US dollars. $499AU http://www.cocooncreate.com.au/product/cocoon-create-3d-printer/
Feb 9, 2016 12:06 PM - danzca6: man, can buy some chips, a coke, and a 3d printer at aldis now? cool...haha
Feb 9, 2016 12:07 PM - AxisLab: + beer and wine
Feb 9, 2016 12:07 PM - AxisLab: Grab me some jerky and a spool of blue while yer there too.
Feb 9, 2016 12:07 PM - danzca6: haha
Feb 9, 2016 12:07 PM - donhuevo: there used to be the occasional bad ass computer at aldi's
Feb 9, 2016 12:08 PM - AxisLab: Sounds like the computers are pretty polular over there in AU
Feb 9, 2016 12:08 PM - AxisLab: Popular
Feb 9, 2016 12:08 PM - daniel871: I don't know, Polular might be an applicable word when talking about 3d printers.
Feb 9, 2016 12:08 PM - donhuevo: populescent
Feb 9, 2016 12:09 PM - AxisLab: But holy cow, listen to these geniuses argue in the comments lol. Made me chuckle. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/233946
Feb 9, 2016 12:09 PM - daniel871: Also, that thing is almost exactly like the Monoprice one, except a better heated bed and apparently all-metal hotend already.
Feb 9, 2016 12:10 PM - AxisLab: It's the V2. It's a nice machine. No all metal though... Unless I missed it, where do you see that?
Feb 9, 2016 12:10 PM - AxisLab: You are damned determined for a stock all metal lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:10 PM - daniel871: Mainly having to go by the claimed filament list, some of them require more than 230C on the hotend.
Feb 9, 2016 12:11 PM - AxisLab: Ah, yeah... No. lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:12 PM - AxisLab: That's like Alibaba reprap kits claiming, ceramics and PC's lol. Just keywords
Feb 9, 2016 12:12 PM - daniel871: Yeah. The Monoprice listing does the same thing.
Feb 9, 2016 12:13 PM - AxisLab: I mean, you can run them at 260 all you want. Technically they can... but that's what the spare tubing, and amazon for more is for.
Feb 9, 2016 12:14 PM - daniel871: That's why I'm holding off to experiment with the higher temp filaments until I get the real all-metal hotend bits installed.
Feb 9, 2016 12:14 PM - AxisLab: I can claim my old hatchback could run 50 in first gear, I mean It could, It's going to hurt shit, but it 'could'
Feb 9, 2016 12:15 PM - AxisLab: Probably won't do it TWICE, but it could lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:15 PM - daniel871: In the meantime, the stock hotend is doing great with my shitty JustPLA spools.
Feb 9, 2016 12:16 PM - AxisLab: Yup. Great for PlA, and surprisingly flexy too!! I'm running Ninjaflex AS I TYPE!
Feb 9, 2016 12:16 PM - daniel871: Hm.
Feb 9, 2016 12:17 PM - daniel871: Shame I don't have any ninjaflex on hand to try.
Feb 9, 2016 12:17 PM - daniel871: What else?
Feb 9, 2016 12:17 PM - AxisLab: It prefers the stiffer TPU, and semiflex though. that I can say for a fact.
Feb 9, 2016 12:18 PM - daniel871: What about T-glase? It's supposed to be 235-245C.
Feb 9, 2016 12:19 PM - daniel871: I have one full spool of that left from back when I played with it on the original R1.
Feb 9, 2016 12:19 PM - AxisLab: 230-240 seems to be my sweet spot, after PID and all metal.
Feb 9, 2016 12:20 PM - AxisLab: I suppose any materials in those ranges, or below, are fairly safe.
Feb 9, 2016 12:20 PM - AxisLab: Anything more and I go ROBO all day.
Feb 9, 2016 12:20 PM - daniel871: I'm hesitant to do ABS in the house right now, so was looking for fairly low-temp filaments that don't put off such terrible smells.
Feb 9, 2016 12:21 PM - AxisLab: F'abs. PETG for me.
Feb 9, 2016 12:21 PM - AxisLab: smells better, prints better, is better.
Feb 9, 2016 12:22 PM - AxisLab: Unless I know 100% it needs to live in the sun. Then I still question...
Feb 9, 2016 12:25 PM - AxisLab: AAANNNND.... while were were typing, they just released this.... I wonder if you can cancel your all metal order?
Feb 9, 2016 12:25 PM - AxisLab: http://www.micro-swiss.com/#!product-page/cv9c/4604b3bd-53ab-7551-8ea0-31d4df87b552
Feb 9, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: PETg has it's own issues
Feb 9, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: like clumping on the nozzle
Feb 9, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: and requiring a lot of support
Feb 9, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: plus it's tG is only like 70C
Feb 9, 2016 12:33 PM - AxisLab: It is sticky stuff. It builds up and burns super easy. I agree with you there.
Feb 9, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: i do like it though, need some more colors
Feb 9, 2016 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: axis did matt tell you i'm going to midwest reprap fest?
Feb 9, 2016 12:34 PM - AxisLab: Oh cool! No I didn't know.
Feb 9, 2016 12:34 PM - AxisLab: I still need to book a room.
Feb 9, 2016 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: yup, bought tickets last week
Feb 9, 2016 12:35 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah get on that, 81 dollars for 2 nights if you get the discounted rate
Feb 9, 2016 12:35 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm still trying to figure out how I get from south bend airport to the fest, i'm hoping they do like a shuttle
Feb 9, 2016 12:35 PM - AxisLab: I just called, they said 93 for Fri- 81 for for sat wtf?
Feb 9, 2016 12:36 PM - Mike Kelly: did you mention the fest?
Feb 9, 2016 12:36 PM - AxisLab: They shuttle. they will be back and forth all day
Feb 9, 2016 12:36 PM - AxisLab: I did.
Feb 9, 2016 12:36 PM - Mike Kelly: geez
Feb 9, 2016 12:36 PM - Mike Kelly: maybe the lady just told me the wrong numbers

 

Feb 9, 2016 12:37 PM - daniel871: I sent them an email about it, we'll see if I can change/cancel and reorder for that.
Feb 9, 2016 12:37 PM - daniel871: Because yeah, why not upgrade the cooling block at the same time?
Feb 9, 2016 12:38 PM - Mike Kelly:

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=977893012281686

Feb 9, 2016 12:40 PM - AxisLab: Pshh... Mine looked just like that when my hotend set screw was loose.
Feb 9, 2016 12:40 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:41 PM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if there's a service that will ship me cards every year for birthdays, anniversary, valentines day, etc
Feb 9, 2016 12:41 PM - Mike Kelly: i hate buying cards
Feb 9, 2016 12:41 PM - Schlomo: I"ll do it
Feb 9, 2016 12:41 PM - Schlomo: 1000 bucks a year
Feb 9, 2016 12:41 PM - Schlomo:
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: lol i'll give you 20
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - donhuevo: it is a pain. I usually get the most inappropriate cards like a Happy 50th wedding anniversary card for a teenagers birthday
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - Schlomo: Thats a steal for the price of the mental anguish you go through multiple times per year
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if they sell cards online so i don't have to stand in the store
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i hate the grocery store
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i swear if i need an ego boost i just go to the grocery store
Feb 9, 2016 12:42 PM - AxisLab: Um, yeah, if only.... http://www.hallmark.com/
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Schlomo: You're an engineer right?
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Mike Kelly: and when i feel REALLY bad, i go to wal-mart
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Schlomo: Makes sense lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Schlomo: I hate all those things also
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Schlomo: mainly having to be around people i dont like
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 9, 2016 12:43 PM - Schlomo: Or those people who just take up space
Feb 9, 2016 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: the people who leave their cart in front of a narrow passage oblivious to the fact that people may want to go by
Feb 9, 2016 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: ugh

Feb 9, 2016 12:44 PM - Schlomo: is my jam
Feb 9, 2016 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: agreed
Feb 9, 2016 12:45 PM - Schlomo: The worst thing is either not being able to find what I need with free 2 day shipping, or needing that item immediatly
Feb 9, 2016 12:46 PM - Schlomo: im too cheap to pay for shipping and too focused to wait to get what I need sometimes lol
Feb 9, 2016 12:46 PM - Schlomo: or impatient, whichever
Feb 9, 2016 12:46 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm bad about getting stuff with 2 day shipping then changing my plans and not opening for like a month
Feb 9, 2016 12:47 PM - Schlomo: yeah
Feb 9, 2016 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: just bought a bunch of stuff to add some circuits and lights in my house
Feb 9, 2016 12:48 PM - Mike Kelly: which is a bit of a gamble because i just heard some news and the prospect of moving to boston may be back on the table
Feb 9, 2016 12:51 PM - Schlomo: Thats cool though
Feb 9, 2016 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: position, velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap, crackle, and pop
Feb 9, 2016 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: i kid you not
Feb 9, 2016 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's interesting for sure but just kinda stressful
Feb 9, 2016 12:55 PM - JeffTheMess: Boston is back on the table nice

Feb 9, 2016 3:57 PM - BryZad: Is it possible to change out one lead screw and not have to change the stepper to
Feb 9, 2016 3:57 PM - Mike Kelly: uh
Feb 9, 2016 3:57 PM - Mike Kelly: f you have couplings yes
Feb 9, 2016 3:57 PM - Mike Kelly: otherwise no
Feb 9, 2016 3:58 PM - BryZad: Damn it just realized that one of the lead screw upgrade that I got from RoBo is bent on the upper portion
Feb 9, 2016 3:59 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah they really dropped the ball on them
Feb 9, 2016 3:59 PM - Mike Kelly: did you submit a replacement part request
Feb 9, 2016 3:59 PM - BryZad: There is no way to use the same stepper just change the screw
Feb 9, 2016 4:00 PM - Mike Kelly: no the lead screw is integrated into the motor core
Feb 9, 2016 4:00 PM - BryZad: No I haven't wonder if they will honor it bought it awile back
Feb 9, 2016 4:00 PM - Mike Kelly: can't hurt to ask
Feb 9, 2016 4:01 PM - BryZad: True
Feb 9, 2016 4:02 PM - BryZad: I was fighting the Y axis bearing locking up didn't look at the wave in one of the z axis lead screws
Feb 9, 2016 4:03 PM - Mike Kelly: that's why i was telling people to check them for trueness before installing
Feb 9, 2016 4:06 PM - Mike Kelly: http://digg.com/video/golden-retriever-catches-fish?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=facebook
Feb 9, 2016 4:09 PM - BryZad: That's awesome
Feb 9, 2016 4:10 PM - BryZad: Me and my ex had to lab retivers I don't they could sit still that long
Feb 9, 2016 4:12 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah my dog could NOT sit still that long
Feb 9, 2016 4:15 PM - jbigler1986: MK did you ask me the question earlier that you wanted to last night
Feb 9, 2016 4:15 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i didn't
Feb 9, 2016 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: in aspire i had two open contours i wanted to break back into segments and couldn't figure out how
Feb 9, 2016 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: but i ended up fixing it a different way
Feb 9, 2016 4:16 PM - BryZad: I think I lost my omni tool files in the hard drive failure
Feb 9, 2016 4:16 PM - danzca6: how is your dog doing MK
Feb 9, 2016 4:18 PM - jbigler1986: Node edit mode
Feb 9, 2016 4:19 PM - jbigler1986: Just press N on your keyboard. I just found out how to add spacing in between letters the other day. Been trying to find good texts with spacing until I figured that out
Feb 9, 2016 4:31 PM - Mike Kelly: dan my dog is doing well thanks
Feb 9, 2016 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: she's starting to put weight on it and use it more
Feb 9, 2016 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: the muscle atrophy has already gotten really bad
Feb 9, 2016 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: can't wait for next week to get her swimming
Feb 9, 2016 4:37 PM - jbigler1986: That will be awesome
Feb 9, 2016 4:37 PM - jbigler1986: Does she like water
Feb 9, 2016 4:38 PM - danzca6: swim therapy is great. glad to hear things are going well. I think us owners suffer more when pets are recovering than they do
Feb 9, 2016 4:42 PM - Mike Kelly: loves it

 

Feb 9, 2016 4:43 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it breaks your heart to watch them suffer
Feb 9, 2016 4:59 PM - Billm: Has anyone designed a way to quickly change filament?
Feb 9, 2016 4:59 PM - Mike Glass: yea dual extrusion
Feb 9, 2016 5:02 PM - Billm: I wish but for the time being, I would like some way besides removing the screws, washer springs then have to put it all back again
Feb 9, 2016 5:02 PM - Mike Glass: You dont have to remove the screws, hence the springs
Feb 9, 2016 5:02 PM - Mike Glass: just pull back and release
Feb 9, 2016 5:03 PM - Mike Kelly: he may have a beta or kickstarter
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 PM - Billm: Yes the original
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 PM - Mike Glass: Well print a gregs wade
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah print a new tensioner
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 PM - Mike Glass: oh is that all he needs?
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 PM - Billm: Is it on thingiverse
Feb 9, 2016 5:04 PM - Mike Glass: how MK today, glad doggy doing better.
Feb 9, 2016 5:05 PM - Mike Kelly: yes on robo3d's collection
Feb 9, 2016 5:06 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm alright, it was a strange day
Feb 9, 2016 5:07 PM - Billm: Thanks
Feb 9, 2016 7:02 PM - toymaker: im the owner of one of these... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SSR30XW-204...Rail-4Block-/191552836617?hash=item2c99705409
Feb 9, 2016 7:03 PM - toymaker: 670$ with shipping and tax
Feb 9, 2016 7:04 PM - toymaker: should make a fine x -axis for something =)
Feb 9, 2016 7:05 PM - Mike Glass: kinda small
Feb 9, 2016 7:05 PM - toymaker: i know, i was tryn to find some bigger ones
Feb 9, 2016 7:06 PM - toymaker: but it looks like my cnc will be about 50 x36 ish
Feb 9, 2016 7:06 PM - toymaker: i finally got all the rails
Feb 9, 2016 7:08 PM - toymaker: rack and pinion here i come
Feb 9, 2016 7:51 PM - Mike Kelly: you have an addiction

 

Feb 9, 2016 9:00 PM - toymaker: lol
Feb 10, 2016 5:07 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Feb 10, 2016 5:29 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning roboneers
Feb 10, 2016 5:29 AM - daniel871: Morning.
Feb 10, 2016 5:31 AM - JeffTheMess: hows it going dan
Feb 10, 2016 5:31 AM - JeffTheMess: did you get the your second robo
Feb 10, 2016 5:40 AM - Bill Monroe: Jeff, danny
Feb 10, 2016 5:42 AM - JeffTheMess: Bill
Feb 10, 2016 5:52 AM - Bill Monroe: I gotta say, bronzefill is some purdy nice filament
Feb 10, 2016 5:52 AM - JeffTheMess:
Feb 10, 2016 5:52 AM - JeffTheMess: must be nice good polished finish
Feb 10, 2016 5:54 AM - Bill Monroe: not really
Feb 10, 2016 5:54 AM - Bill Monroe: looking like bronze is way oversold
Feb 10, 2016 5:55 AM - JeffTheMess: that sucks
Feb 10, 2016 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: but it's heavy (makes nice phone stands) and machines really well - taps nicely
Feb 10, 2016 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: and it prints beautifully
Feb 10, 2016 5:56 AM - JeffTheMess: heres some bronze for ya
Feb 10, 2016 5:56 AM - JeffTheMess: got a pic of a sample you made
Feb 10, 2016 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe: it's printing a phone cradle for my office now
Feb 10, 2016 5:59 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Feb 10, 2016 6:00 AM - Bill Monroe: i cant believe I actually work for a company that doesnt have a printer.. and no one there has ever used one
Feb 10, 2016 6:00 AM - Bill Monroe: i guess that's what happens when you have a dozen HAAS machines
Feb 10, 2016 6:00 AM - JeffTheMess: terrifying
Feb 10, 2016 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: heh.. one good thing, they have a HAAS TM2 one of the machines I've been lusting after.. nice to see one in person and talk to the pros that use it daily
Feb 10, 2016 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: AND, people that will help get mine going if I get one
Feb 10, 2016 6:02 AM - daniel871: Nah, I don't have the CES printer yet. It is supposedly showing up today though.
Feb 10, 2016 6:13 AM - daniel871: Ha. http://i.imgur.com/A93qwvO.gifv
Feb 10, 2016 6:19 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Feb 10, 2016 6:24 AM - JeffTheMess: kind of a hard question, If I wanted to export each sliced layer as an image is that possible?
Feb 10, 2016 6:25 AM - Bill Monroe: it is in S3D.. dont know about the others
Feb 10, 2016 6:25 AM - JeffTheMess: really they have that feature?
Feb 10, 2016 6:26 AM - Bill Monroe: well, when looking at the view that shows the toolpath, you can limit it to single layers
Feb 10, 2016 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: hold on a sec.. I'll get you a pic
Feb 10, 2016 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe:
Feb 10, 2016 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: look in the lower right, there's a checkbox "single layer only"
Feb 10, 2016 6:31 AM - Bill Monroe: then you move the slider.. that layer is #121.. since each later is .2mm, the height is 24.2 mm minus the fist layer adjustment
Feb 10, 2016 6:31 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, I know that can be done but if I wanted to export each layer as, for example a jpeg can that be done
Feb 10, 2016 6:31 AM - JeffTheMess:
Feb 10, 2016 6:31 AM - JeffTheMess: each layer as like the above
Feb 10, 2016 6:32 AM - Bill Monroe: well you could rotate it to view from above
Feb 10, 2016 6:32 AM - JeffTheMess: but not a clean view like the above right?
Feb 10, 2016 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: not exactly, it's not what S3D's intent is
Feb 10, 2016 6:33 AM - JeffTheMess: is there a software that can?
Feb 10, 2016 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: dunno.. never needed to do it
Feb 10, 2016 6:35 AM - JeffTheMess: darn it Bill, I thought you knew it all!
Feb 10, 2016 6:35 AM - Bill Monroe: I do! I know *everything* about all the things I know
Feb 10, 2016 6:36 AM - Mike Glass: Jeff you can do that in 123D Make
Feb 10, 2016 6:37 AM - Mike Glass: Thats how I make cut sheets from a 3d part to cut out on the laser.
Feb 10, 2016 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: There ya go
Feb 10, 2016 6:38 AM - JeffTheMess: will it do all layers? automatically, I dont want to go layer by layer saving it as a jpeg?
Feb 10, 2016 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: new Navy budget.. more missles, fewer sailors
Feb 10, 2016 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: thanks Obama
Feb 10, 2016 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: omg this job posting is so bad.
Feb 10, 2016 6:41 AM - Mike Glass: yes jeff, you just select what your size of slice that you want and it will produce a part sheet.
Feb 10, 2016 6:42 AM - JeffTheMess: awesome that's great, thanks MG
Feb 10, 2016 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: Entry-level (read just got out of school) strong aptitude for mechanical design (how they heck would they know?) strong apitiude for complex system design and development (they just got out of school for gosh sakes) CAD expereince is helpful ( huh?!?!?!)
Feb 10, 2016 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: "Visit our websites at ~~~ and ~~~."
Feb 10, 2016 6:43 AM - Mike Glass: it can output to pdf, eps, or dfx.
Feb 10, 2016 6:44 AM - daniel871: I figured Entry-level referred to the job position, not the education level.
Feb 10, 2016 6:44 AM - Bill Monroe: no one will be considered without a bach degree.. no one with experience will take an entry level job
Feb 10, 2016 6:44 AM - daniel871: As in "this is an entry-level position with potential for promotion" not "Your experience should be entry-level along with this inevitable list of stuff that someone fresh out of school could have".
Feb 10, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: negative
Feb 10, 2016 6:45 AM - daniel871: Sometimes people work in the field they are getting a degree in prior to actually getting the degree.
Feb 10, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: this is a company that would be a disaster to work for
Feb 10, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: those are called interns
Feb 10, 2016 6:46 AM - daniel871: Then what is the problem? Seems like you answered your own question.
Feb 10, 2016 6:46 AM - Bill Monroe: they're not hiring interns
Feb 10, 2016 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe: oh, found the company name.. well-known disaster
Feb 10, 2016 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe: so, it figures
Feb 10, 2016 6:52 AM - daniel871: Someone that has had an internship while getting their degree would have been able to demonstrate the qualities that listing is looking for though. It's the entire point/theory behind having internships while earning a degree to start with.
Feb 10, 2016 6:52 AM - daniel871: Resume building.
Feb 10, 2016 6:53 AM - Bill Monroe: Like I said.. company is wacked
Feb 10, 2016 7:23 AM - daniel871:
Feb 10, 2016 7:24 AM - JeffTheMess: he never makes it up...does he
Feb 10, 2016 7:30 AM - JeffTheMess: MG you have to be a member to export or something?
Feb 10, 2016 7:37 AM - Mike Glass: why, you not seeing the export?
Feb 10, 2016 7:39 AM - JeffTheMess: nope
Feb 10, 2016 7:39 AM - JeffTheMess: 123d make right
Feb 10, 2016 7:40 AM - JeffTheMess: just export mesh
Feb 10, 2016 7:42 AM - Mike Glass: yep
Feb 10, 2016 7:43 AM - Mike Glass: I just select stacked slices then hit get plans
Feb 10, 2016 7:44 AM - JeffTheMess: ah ok, I saw that, I wanted to try it for the 3d slices
Feb 10, 2016 7:45 AM - Mike Glass: then goto the manufacture seetings and set your layer height you want the slices
Feb 10, 2016 7:48 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah got that far already,just can't export it, i'll have to google it say what comes up
Feb 10, 2016 7:50 AM - Mike Glass: do you see a get plans under the assembly steps?
Feb 10, 2016 7:51 AM - Mike Glass:
Feb 10, 2016 7:52 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, I see that, for construction technique "stacked slices" but i but using construction technique "3d slices"
Feb 10, 2016 7:53 AM - JeffTheMess: haven't seen you print something in awhile your too busy with your "laser"
Feb 10, 2016 7:57 AM - Mike Glass: lol yea, true.
Feb 10, 2016 7:57 AM - Mike Glass: here is a project im working on, still needs some work.
Feb 10, 2016 8:04 AM - JeffTheMess: looks good
Feb 10, 2016 8:05 AM - Mike Glass: Here are the clocks im making.
Feb 10, 2016 8:08 AM - JeffTheMess: thats pretty any other star wats stuff you need me to get jealous about
Feb 10, 2016 8:08 AM - JeffTheMess: star wars*
Feb 10, 2016 8:09 AM - Mike Glass:
Feb 10, 2016 8:13 AM - JeffTheMess: screw you mike
Feb 10, 2016 8:16 AM - Quest: those look good MG
Feb 10, 2016 8:18 AM - Mike Glass: thanks
Feb 10, 2016 8:18 AM - JeffTheMess: it does look good
Feb 10, 2016 8:18 AM - Mike Glass: I do night lights too.

 

Feb 10, 2016 8:19 AM - JeffTheMess: (i think mike is trying to make some extra cash)
Feb 10, 2016 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: that's neat
Feb 10, 2016 8:22 AM - Mike Glass: I need too if I want a new laser
Feb 10, 2016 8:23 AM - Mike Glass: Have you guys seen Faro scanners?
Feb 10, 2016 8:29 AM - JeffTheMess: nope
Feb 10, 2016 8:30 AM - Quest: no
Feb 10, 2016 8:33 AM - Mike Glass: so cool, just got off the phone with them 40-130K lol
Feb 10, 2016 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: ef that
Feb 10, 2016 8:59 AM - toymaker: mg, just use the company card
Feb 10, 2016 9:00 AM - Mike Glass: haha, yea, they will be here next month to show a demo
Feb 10, 2016 9:02 AM - toymaker: i think this will be by next purchase http://www.cncrouterparts.com/pro-rack-and-pinion-drive-nema-34-p-226.html
Feb 10, 2016 9:33 AM - danzca6: toy, I think you were looking for one of these...on sale for 99 again...http://amzn.com/B00NMST9G8

Feb 10, 2016 9:47 AM - Schlomo: Anyone bored?
Feb 10, 2016 9:47 AM - Schlomo: http://schlomorific.ddns.net:8080/stream_simple.html
Feb 10, 2016 10:30 AM - daniel871: Nice, is that foil insulation on the enclosure?
Feb 10, 2016 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: man my UDS client refuses to let me sign in
Feb 10, 2016 10:35 AM - Schlomo: Yeah, im printing in my garage. I have a small 200w heater in there that keeps my temps at 55c
Feb 10, 2016 10:35 AM - Schlomo: printing in Red ABS
Feb 10, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: i have 5mm on either side of the max Robo build volume
Feb 10, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: a good 40mm are not on the heated portion of the build plate, but at this point im fairly certain there will be no warping
Feb 10, 2016 10:43 AM - Schlomo: just need to print 3 more
Feb 10, 2016 10:44 AM - daniel871: Have you got a source on the heater? I was trying to figure out a way to do that for my R1 a while back but kept running into heaters that were way too big to put in an empty corner somewhere.
Feb 10, 2016 10:46 AM - Schlomo: can you see the small hole on the top right corner of my stream?
Feb 10, 2016 10:46 AM - Schlomo: my heater is mounted outside
Feb 10, 2016 10:46 AM - Schlomo: http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-100-MyH...ie=UTF8&qid=1455129854&sr=8-8&keywords=heater
Feb 10, 2016 10:46 AM - Schlomo: controlled by an external ebay temperature controller with the thermocouple inside the case.
Feb 10, 2016 10:47 AM - Schlomo: stc1000 if i remember right
Feb 10, 2016 10:49 AM - BryZad: Mike G did you see the pic of the omni tool I posted
Feb 10, 2016 11:14 AM - Schlomo: quiet today
Feb 10, 2016 11:16 AM - JeffTheMess: always is
Feb 10, 2016 11:21 AM - JasonSolves: anyone using Simplify3d?
Feb 10, 2016 11:21 AM - JasonSolves: I saw Bill is
Feb 10, 2016 11:21 AM - Schlomo: I am
Feb 10, 2016 11:22 AM - daniel871: I also use Simplify3D.
Feb 10, 2016 11:23 AM - daniel871: Not for the Robo R1 (which is currently dead) but I bought the license shortly after getting that printer.
Feb 10, 2016 11:24 AM - BryZad: I am using simplify also
Feb 10, 2016 11:24 AM - BryZad: Dan have you still not got your prize RoBo yet
Feb 10, 2016 11:25 AM - Mike Kelly: man i wish i could drop kick people who refuse to google
Feb 10, 2016 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i use simplify3d
Feb 10, 2016 11:26 AM - JasonSolves: Any idea how to get the cool Robo3d machine image to work?
Feb 10, 2016 11:26 AM - Mike Kelly: make a new profile
Feb 10, 2016 11:27 AM - JasonSolves: I did that
Feb 10, 2016 11:28 AM - BryZad: There is a machine image for the RoBo ?
Feb 10, 2016 11:28 AM - JasonSolves: It seems like the robo3d_r1.stl is missing
Feb 10, 2016 11:28 AM - daniel871: Help > Configuration Assistant > pick the machine > re-do your custom settings.
Feb 10, 2016 11:28 AM - JasonSolves: I just printed something kinda large (bed area) and noticed that bed location is off
Feb 10, 2016 11:29 AM - JasonSolves: thought I would start with the image
Feb 10, 2016 11:29 AM - JasonSolves: daniel, just did that, all it did was remove all my custom settings....
Feb 10, 2016 11:30 AM - daniel871: Are you using the current version of S3D?
Feb 10, 2016 11:30 AM - JasonSolves: brand new
Feb 10, 2016 11:30 AM - JasonSolves: like days
Feb 10, 2016 11:31 AM - daniel871: This is what mine looks like.
Feb 10, 2016 11:31 AM - daniel871:
Feb 10, 2016 11:32 AM - JasonSolves: cool, do you have a robo3d_r1.stl hiding somewhere?
Feb 10, 2016 11:32 AM - Mike Kelly: the markings on the bed have no indication on most all printers
Feb 10, 2016 11:32 AM - Mike Kelly: when i redid my robo3d profile it just showed up
Feb 10, 2016 11:32 AM - JasonSolves: with auto level?
Feb 10, 2016 11:33 AM - daniel871: Nope, it showed up when I updated to the 3.0 version of the software.
Feb 10, 2016 11:33 AM - daniel871: Yes, with auto-level.
Feb 10, 2016 11:34 AM - daniel871: The model doesn't really matter though as long as your object fits in the defined print area.
Feb 10, 2016 11:34 AM - JasonSolves: odd, I have a message into them, but that takes days
Feb 10, 2016 11:34 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I know. I just thought it looks cooler
Feb 10, 2016 11:34 AM - Schlomo: mine doesnt show up if it makes you feel any better
Feb 10, 2016 11:34 AM - daniel871: And if your Robo is shifting the physical print off so that it isn't actually printing inside the print area, that's a whole other problem.
Feb 10, 2016 11:34 AM - Schlomo: have 3.0
Feb 10, 2016 11:35 AM - JasonSolves: no, it is working fine
Feb 10, 2016 11:35 AM - JasonSolves: just is further back than it should be
Feb 10, 2016 11:37 AM - JasonSolves: I will adjust it in 3 hours, when this print is done
Feb 10, 2016 11:38 AM - Mike Kelly: what are you basing this positioning on
Feb 10, 2016 11:40 AM - daniel871: Here, I uploaded the STL from my installation. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1331509
Feb 10, 2016 11:40 AM - JasonSolves: http://imgur.com/a/NEDsU
Feb 10, 2016 11:40 AM - daniel871: Save that thing somewhere on your computer where nothing will mess with it and you can find it, then add it under the Machine tab in the Options menu.
Feb 10, 2016 11:40 AM - JasonSolves:
Feb 10, 2016 11:40 AM - JasonSolves: fail
Feb 10, 2016 11:40 AM - JasonSolves:
Feb 10, 2016 11:41 AM - JasonSolves:
Feb 10, 2016 11:41 AM - daniel871: Yeah, that's a problem with something in the Firmware settings on your R1, then.
Feb 10, 2016 11:41 AM - JasonSolves:
Feb 10, 2016 11:41 AM - Schlomo: I have the same issue
Feb 10, 2016 11:42 AM - daniel871: I think there was an issue where the markings on the table weren't exactly in line with where the heater on the bed was installed or where the firmware thought the build area was.
Feb 10, 2016 11:43 AM - daniel871: However, it looks like even in that last picture that the printer was successfully printing the part.
Feb 10, 2016 11:43 AM - JasonSolves:
Feb 10, 2016 11:43 AM - JasonSolves: yes, it prints fine
Feb 10, 2016 11:44 AM - JasonSolves: I used your STL, works
Feb 10, 2016 11:44 AM - daniel871: Looks like the folks at S3D have the STL in the right spot.
Feb 10, 2016 11:44 AM - JasonSolves: actually is VERY close to the correct location
Feb 10, 2016 11:45 AM - JasonSolves: see why I wanted the bed stl.
Feb 10, 2016 11:45 AM - daniel871: There you have it. The markings on the glass are in the wrong place.
Feb 10, 2016 11:45 AM - JasonSolves: I wonder if I could print larger?
Feb 10, 2016 11:46 AM - daniel871: I'd bet that the belt would start grinding if you went too far forward from the spot shown as Zero in S3D.
Feb 10, 2016 11:46 AM - daniel871: There have been a few projects where people have printed different holders for the glass portion, installed longer rods and had it so the printer could print nearly the full length of the glass.
Feb 10, 2016 11:47 AM - daniel871: Seemed like too much effort to me though.
Feb 10, 2016 11:47 AM - daniel871: (I think someone had a full base plate made of aluminum to support the new bed holder/etc.)
Feb 10, 2016 11:52 AM - Schlomo: i've seen that mod. I liked the Robo Beast one better so i'm doing that first
Feb 10, 2016 11:53 AM - daniel871: I would think doing the metal base mod first would be more beneficial (solid base before extending the height of the print)
Feb 10, 2016 11:54 AM - Schlomo: Well, possibly. But to me, extending the Z axis with the same pitch rods is a much less error prone mod
Feb 10, 2016 11:55 AM - Schlomo: either one is pretty simple
Feb 10, 2016 11:55 AM - Schlomo: but just decided to do this first
Feb 10, 2016 11:55 AM - Schlomo: plus i print ABS so that mod is nice but not having a fully heated bed currently i'd have to buy a new extended heated bed
