Feb 22, 2016 at 12:06 PM - donhuevo: I'm thinking the typical shaft coming out of a 5:1 transmission is 6mm
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:06 PM - Mike Kelly: that's the smaller size
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: more conventionally it's 8
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: that's what you're using afaik
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:07 PM - donhuevo: then I have 8's I think
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:07 PM - donhuevo: jb got stuck with a 6
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i used to use 6
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...-17-bipolar-stepper-17hs151684spg5-p-143.html i think you have this or this: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...rque-nema-17-stepper-17hs191684spg5-p-40.html
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm pretty sure you bought the high torque model
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...ma-17-stepper-motor-17hs130404spg5-p-140.html this is what i used
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:09 PM - donhuevo: yep. I have the 8mm shaft
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:10 PM - donhuevo: I got my hobbed gears from Trinity Labs.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:17 PM - donhuevo: I'm reluctant to share this because it's basically replacing everything...
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:26 PM - Schlomo: Pretty
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:29 PM - donhuevo: it's been a long road since the kickstarter model.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:32 PM - WheresWaldo: Don, does adding the extra Z axis smooth rod really bring significant benefits?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:34 PM - donhuevo: between that and the horizontal bracing at the top, I have to say yes. It was noticable
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:36 PM - donhuevo: at least for me
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:37 PM - WheresWaldo: I would think the bracing has a bigger impact, but if you say so. I do like what you did to your hybrid.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:38 PM - donhuevo: how's your new one coming?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:39 PM - WheresWaldo: I am sheathing cables this week, was too cheap to buy new paracord, so I had to wait until my daughter bought some for her new computer build.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:39 PM - donhuevo: I'm about ready to button up the wiring on mine. Just finished the power supply mounting bracket over the weekend
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:40 PM - daniel871: I think I'm going to have to build a heated chamber for the Monoprice if I want to print Bridge on it.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:40 PM - jbigler1986: I have one that is 6 and one that is 8
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:40 PM - WheresWaldo: I have all sizes of Techflex, but I wanted something more flexible. Besides I decided to add an Octoprint server built in so I have been futzing with an OrangePi and Debian.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:41 PM - donhuevo: nice!
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:42 PM - WheresWaldo: I am also thinking about using the 2.8 touchscreen on the Robo and picking up the 3.2 from Makerbase.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:42 PM - daniel871: I've got some nice, tough nylon discs that are transparent, but they keep popping off the bed before they can finish the print I'm trying.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:43 PM - WheresWaldo: Danny what are you talking about?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:43 PM - daniel871: Bed adhesion with Taulman Bridge filament on the Monoprice i3 clone I have.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:43 PM - donhuevo: I ran the robo with the touch screen all day yesterday. Printing little wire tie mounts
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:44 PM - daniel871: It's aggravating because the first several layers stick just fine, then it pops off the bed and starts sliding around at some point.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:44 PM - WheresWaldo: Dan, I find that glue stick works better than hairspray and a bed near 100°C, Don I am sure that is way nicer than using the FGLCD
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:45 PM - donhuevo: blue tape will hold it and some of the tape will stay with your part after
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:45 PM - daniel871: I tried glue stick first with bed temps at 80C.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:45 PM - daniel871: The bed on the Monoprice can't get to 100C, I'm pretty sure.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:45 PM - WheresWaldo: Don't forget that the thermistor is almost always hotter than the bed surface.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:46 PM - daniel871: What's the temp at which solder starts to soften up?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:47 PM - WheresWaldo: I wonder if blue tape and glue stick will hold it without leaving little bits of tape on the final model?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:47 PM - daniel871: I have a sheet of PEI already on the aluminum plate.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:47 PM - daniel871: Got some really good results with the *fill filaments I've had trouble with on the Robo, figured I'd give Bridge a try.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Schlomo: Dan, do you clean your PEI with alcohol after every print?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:48 PM - daniel871: Yep.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Schlomo: Brim?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:48 PM - daniel871: Yep.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:49 PM - WheresWaldo: 200+ depending on the solder and closer to 300 for total liquidity
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:49 PM - daniel871: Brim with about 6mm of perimeter.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:49 PM - Schlomo: When I print abs, i get great adhesion on my PEI bed at 100c. Printing in PC i have to up it to 110c. I haven't printed nylon, but I can try when i get home from work and see if I can offer some suggestions
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:50 PM - daniel871: I'd appreciate it if pushing the bed temp higher doesn't solve it for me this evening (I'll post here if it works though).
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:50 PM - Schlomo: Sounds good
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:50 PM - daniel871: So about 100C on the bed for a starting point, Waldo?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:50 PM - donhuevo: enclosure seems better for nylons too
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:51 PM - WheresWaldo: Yep I think I actually print at a verified 90°C checked with an IR thermometer, about 96° according to Robo.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:52 PM - donhuevo: gotta hit the road. see y'all later
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:52 PM - WheresWaldo: Bye Don
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Schlomo: Bye
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:53 PM - daniel871: Bye Don.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:53 PM - WheresWaldo: We all know the RObo heater sucks, just ordered a 300W 12v 240x240mm square from AliRubber today to replace it.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:54 PM - Schlomo: Would you need to upgrade the stock PSU for that, Waldo?
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:55 PM - Schlomo: im not sure what the current heated bed is rated at
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:56 PM - WheresWaldo: It has to be close to 100W as RAMPS can only handle 11A max, My PS went bad a couple of months ago so I already had a 41A that was the same size, and I got an SSR as well as high amperage relay to try and power it direct from the PS.
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:57 PM - daniel871: This is one of the things I was going to print in Bridge. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:640041
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:57 PM - Bill Monroe: doods
Feb 22, 2016 at 12:58 PM - WheresWaldo: Cool, it looks like a nice little project.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:00 PM - WheresWaldo: Schlomo, you would be pushing the PS very hard with a 200W heater, since I went 300W I needed to do a Tim Allen on it.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:00 PM - daniel871: Hopefully not with Tim Allen results.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:01 PM - daniel871: Like this, but with glass going thru the bottom of the Robo.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:02 PM - WheresWaldo: The hope is that the bed will have a faster heat up time as well as be able to heat the entire build area consistently. That's funny.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:03 PM - daniel871: The other Bridge project I'm considering is this so I have it on hand when/if the hotend fails. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1084073
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:04 PM - WheresWaldo: I am not a big fan of nylon for parts attached to the hotend, that is what ABS and Polycarbonate are for.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:06 PM - daniel871: That would be above the hotend cooling fan though.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:06 PM - WheresWaldo: Ah.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:06 PM - daniel871: I'd have to move the Z-axis homing switch for that though. The bed adjusting screws won't go down for a hotend that hangs out that much.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:07 PM - daniel871: Maybe.
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:14 PM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/qZ18ZEz.mp4
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:16 PM - daniel871:
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:16 PM - daniel871: Guy on the bike is all "Whatever, get out of the way."
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: That says easy print daniel. You can do it
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:34 PM - Mike Kelly: also i don't think there's any problems running a 200W bed
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:35 PM - Mike Kelly: i mean it's a 360W psu and it's not like you're running the bed at 100% when it's on, so even heating up the bed and extruder at the same time that's like 230W
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:38 PM - Mike Kelly: plus if you get a SSR you can run it on PID
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:38 PM - janot928: hi everyone
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:38 PM - janot928: greetings from europe
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:40 PM - janot928: i'm finally arround to finish my dual extruder setup
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:40 PM - janot928: 4 month after installing my chimera
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:43 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:49 PM - janot928: btw don't buy the cheapo extruder from ebay.... they sucks
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:52 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah the extruder is the most important part of the printer, don't cheap out there
Feb 22, 2016 at 1:57 PM - janot928: the basic wade extruder is cheaper (excluding shipping) and way better
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:14 PM - max longstaff: the screws with spring are way too strong at any setting its making the hobbed bolt grind through filament
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:14 PM - max longstaff: any suggestions
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:16 PM - jbigler1986: Different spring?
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:16 PM - Mike Kelly: loosen the tension on the screws as much as possible, tell the printer to extrude and grip the filament right as it enters the idler trying to prevent it from getting pulled in, increase tension on the springs until it grips tightley
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:17 PM - jbigler1986: I suggest MK'S way first
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:17 PM - max longstaff: the springs are already as loose as they can go, ill try new springs
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:17 PM - max longstaff: a half turn and they fall out
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:18 PM - jbigler1986: Does the hotend extrude filament at all?
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:18 PM - max longstaff: ye i can hold the plastic without the springs and it extrudes fine
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: robo's older hobbed bolts were pretty crappy
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:19 PM - max longstaff: ive tried 3 alternative hobbed bolts so far

 

Feb 22, 2016 at 2:19 PM - max longstaff: my robo one died completely :S
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.filastruder.com/collecti...ies/products/hobb-goblin-8mm-hobbed-shaft-kit i like the hobb goblin
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:20 PM - max longstaff: nice ill check what the shippings like
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:20 PM - Mike Kelly: filament grinding is caused by an increase in back pressure after the hobb, either caused by partial clogs/jamming in the nozzle, over extrusion, or oversized filament getting stuck in the channel
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:21 PM - Mike Kelly: you would be more likely to grind down the filament with a lack of tension
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:22 PM - jbigler1986: Agreed
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:22 PM - max longstaff: hmm interesting I currently doubt a clog as its a new hot end but the bowden supplied did seem a bit tight
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Mike Kelly: so making sure it has the proper grip is important
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Mike Kelly: you can really grip down on th filament
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:22 PM - max longstaff: might try some of my other bowden tube
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: the danger of too much compression is that the filament may deform on it's way into the extruder, and that causes it to jam
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: this is pretty obvious because you'll have like one section where it got chewed up, then a bit further in you'll have like a smushed face that obviously couldn't make it through
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:23 PM - max longstaff: thanks
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: sure thing
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:25 PM - max longstaff: looked at the shipping on that hobbed bolt im looking at £30 shipping then tax on top :S
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: oh forgot you're in the UK
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: buy from e3d directly
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:28 PM - max longstaff: cool
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: btw i should say sorry for being disrespectful the other day
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: http://e3d-online.com/Hobb-Goblin-8mm-Shaft 8.50gbp
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: damn they're out of stock of course
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:30 PM - max longstaff: ill try get some as soon as their in stock
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:30 PM - max longstaff: just got 2 new ones that seem okay for now
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:30 PM - Mike Kelly: drop an email or call them, i'd bet money they have some floating around but just didn't update the website
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:30 PM - max longstaff: will do
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:30 PM - Mike Kelly: obviously tomorrow while they're in
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: i think the millennium falcon is the new yoda
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+BrookDrummpb/posts/GwX9S2wEXdx?cfem=1 this is interesting
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:48 PM - Mike Kelly: extend all the Y's!
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:51 PM - max longstaff: hmm should filament fit through the heatbreak with no resistance when cold?
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:54 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2016/02/22/yuma-kano-wants-to-cover-the-world-with-smiley-face-screws/
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:54 PM - Mike Kelly: in general yes
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:54 PM - Mike Kelly: the v6 is 2mm to the nozzle
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:54 PM - Mike Kelly: the hex is a bit tighter, like 1.8mm
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: i had some filament really out of whack, kept jamming on me
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: took forever to realize it had huge bulges of like 2mm
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:56 PM - max longstaff: ah i took the hot end apart and couldnt get the filament through the heatbreak
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: is this on a genuine v6 or the clone
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:57 PM - max longstaff: both atm
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:57 PM - max longstaff: the heatbreak is a clone ye
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: measuring the filament diameter in a bunch of spaces looking for a bulge will tell ya
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: if you have like a 2mm drill bit or a bit under you could try doing a hand ream to clean it out
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:58 PM - max longstaff: I have to invest in some calipers
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: if it's dirty or anything
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: they come in handy a lot
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: and the pair i got from harbor freight was like 10 bucks
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:58 PM - max longstaff: nice
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: poor quality filament is often more of a headache than the couple bucks are worth
Feb 22, 2016 at 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: E3D Everyday line is really quality stuff
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:00 PM - max longstaff: ill have to try some E3D stuff then currently using wanhao filament
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:00 PM - max longstaff: and nunus
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:00 PM - Mike Kelly: http://e3d-online.com/All-Filament&filter=5,24
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:01 PM - max longstaff: ah not a bad price either thanks
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: don't know what prices you pay there but 12.50 for 3/4kg seems like a good deal
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: their premium is 25 quid
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:03 PM - max longstaff: is the premium worth the extra?
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:05 PM - Mike Kelly: Never used it but probably not. The everyday stuff seemed nice
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:06 PM - max longstaff: cool
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:10 PM - Mike Kelly: i linked to both abs and PLA just fyi
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2016/02/22/yuma-kano-wants-to-cover-the-world-with-smiley-face-screws/ this is cute but pointless
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:13 PM - Mike Kelly: fun
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:17 PM - Mike Kelly: i just can't even believe the level of detail on that holy crap
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:24 PM - Mike Kelly: on another news, my friends used a like home depot prebuilt cabinet to make an enclosure for their mini laser cutter, clever idea imo
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:31 PM - jbigler1986: His work is absolutely amazing
Feb 22, 2016 at 3:44 PM - danzca6: mtmwood...should be wtfwood....he has mad skills. And is that air suspension from a semi in that press? His other videos...very inspiring
Feb 22, 2016 at 4:49 PM - Schlomo: Hey mike. Recalibrated my E steps, was off by 3.7mm over extruded
Feb 22, 2016 at 4:49 PM - Schlomo: calibrated at 100mm extrusion length
Feb 22, 2016 at 4:59 PM - jbigler1986: That's not that far off
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:20 PM - Schlomo: Im trying to get rid of some zits my Volcano has been doing
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:20 PM - Schlomo: little blobs on the face of my prints
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:20 PM - Schlomo: its still doing it, going to mess with retraction speed and distance now
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:32 PM - Schlomo: Ugh i cant tame this beast
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:49 PM - daniel871: Experimenting with Bridge again with the bed at 100C.
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:49 PM - daniel871: Literally just started about five minutes ago so an update will be a little bit to see if it pops off in the early layers or not.
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:50 PM - daniel871: Nope, that actually made things worse, the brim layers aren't done yet and the edges are already curling.
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:52 PM - daniel871: OK, shelving bridge until I can get the POS Robo running again or build an enclosure for this printer.
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:53 PM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 22, 2016 at 5:53 PM - Schlomo: i haven't tested it yet, i have some of my own problems at the moment
Feb 22, 2016 at 6:07 PM - Schlomo: got almost all of the blobs to leave with a 0.9mm coast. Going to move to 1.1mm to see if it gets the rest of the blobs.

 

Feb 23, 2016 5:28 AM - JeffTheMess: morning robonauts
Feb 23, 2016 5:34 AM - Schlomo: morning
Feb 23, 2016 5:46 AM - JeffTheMess: hows it going
Feb 23, 2016 5:52 AM - Schlomo: Good, was able to somewhat tame my Volcano last night
Feb 23, 2016 5:53 AM - JeffTheMess: got a sample pic of a print?
Feb 23, 2016 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Feb 23, 2016 5:55 AM - JeffTheMess: Bill, how the heck are ya?
Feb 23, 2016 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: doing OK.. you?
Feb 23, 2016 5:57 AM - JeffTheMess: not bad
Feb 23, 2016 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
Feb 23, 2016 5:58 AM - Schlomo: I'll take one when i get home of what i had and where I am now
Feb 23, 2016 6:00 AM - JeffTheMess: are you going to make the robo bigger?
Feb 23, 2016 6:00 AM - Schlomo: Yes, going to do the "Robo Beast" mod
Feb 23, 2016 6:01 AM - JeffTheMess: ah nice
Feb 23, 2016 6:01 AM - Schlomo: already have my lead screws just need the threaded rods and 3 more risers
Feb 23, 2016 6:02 AM - JeffTheMess: cool, your doing it the same size? or bigger than the beast
Feb 23, 2016 6:04 AM - Schlomo: just the same
Feb 23, 2016 6:04 AM - Schlomo: i dont really want to cut down my lead screws but 17
Feb 23, 2016 6:04 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Feb 23, 2016 6:04 AM - Schlomo: 17" build height is tall enough lol
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 AM - JeffTheMess: that it is. may I ask what you planning to print with such height
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 AM - Schlomo: no clue
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 AM - JeffTheMess: just for fun lol
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 AM - Schlomo: yup lol
Feb 23, 2016 6:06 AM - Schlomo: gotta keep myself busy ya know?
Feb 23, 2016 6:07 AM - JeffTheMess: that is true, more people get printers to modify it for better use, I see less people actually printing
Feb 23, 2016 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: < printer
Feb 23, 2016 6:07 AM - mycb: how do i contact the admin of the form? i have tried to post a questions and i keep getting a message saying it things i'm posting spam
Feb 23, 2016 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: I use my homebrew machine much more than the Robo, though
Feb 23, 2016 6:19 AM - JeffTheMess: mycb, you have a problem with the robo
Feb 23, 2016 6:21 AM - mycb: yes i do
Feb 23, 2016 6:21 AM - JeffTheMess: what is it, maybe someone here can help
Feb 23, 2016 6:22 AM - mycb: i dont wnat to post it all here it would be a wall of text, but the problem is... switch not stopping print head from hit print bed
Feb 23, 2016 6:24 AM - daniel871: Are the wires for the switch plugged in at both ends of the wires?
Feb 23, 2016 6:24 AM - mycb: yes i have tested the switch its works. this happens randomly
Feb 23, 2016 6:27 AM - Schlomo: is it during a z axis move manually? or during autolevel?
Feb 23, 2016 6:28 AM - mycb: i dont have the auto leveling i have one of the original ones without it
Feb 23, 2016 6:28 AM - Schlomo: oh
Feb 23, 2016 6:29 AM - mycb: when i set it up befor i do the leveling i put the print head a papers width above the bed and then set the screw so it just triggers the switch
Feb 23, 2016 6:29 AM - Schlomo: someone else will need to chime in then
Feb 23, 2016 6:29 AM - mycb: i then do the leveling
Feb 23, 2016 6:30 AM - mycb: then i click the all button in movement controls and the print head goes all the way down and hits the print bed and i have to start the whole process over again
Feb 23, 2016 6:30 AM - daniel871:
Feb 23, 2016 6:32 AM - mycb: i've been dealing with this on an doff for a long time and the support guys don't seem to help at all
Feb 23, 2016 6:32 AM - daniel871: Welcome to owning a Robo3D printer, I guess. How long have you had it?
Feb 23, 2016 6:33 AM - mycb: i got it from the kickstarter thing. so i have had it a long time
Feb 23, 2016 6:33 AM - mycb: the fist 6 months it was nothing but problems and replacing stuff
Feb 23, 2016 6:34 AM - mycb: i have never had so much bad support with a product as i have had this robo3d
Feb 23, 2016 6:35 AM - daniel871: The real fun begins when you find out that since it's well past six months, the thing isn't under any kind of warranty any more and you're essentially on your own with the Troubleshooting sub-forum for support.
Feb 23, 2016 6:35 AM - mycb: iknow
Feb 23, 2016 6:36 AM - mycb: i'm triyng to use the form, but it keeps saying my post is spam. so i can't even get help here
Feb 23, 2016 6:38 AM - daniel871: Are you linking to images off-site or uploading them in the post itself?
Feb 23, 2016 6:38 AM - mycb: no
Feb 23, 2016 6:38 AM - mycb: just text
Feb 23, 2016 6:39 AM - daniel871: You might want to try the Robo3D Printer Facebook page.
Feb 23, 2016 6:39 AM - daniel871: It seems to be monitored more regularly than the forums.
Feb 23, 2016 6:39 AM - mycb: i dont use facebook
Feb 23, 2016 6:40 AM - daniel871: https://www.facebook.com/Robo3dPrinter/
Feb 23, 2016 6:40 AM - mycb: doesn't really help wiht i can't post to facebook
Feb 23, 2016 6:44 AM - daniel871: I'm not sure what help can be given. If the homing switches are randomly failing, I'd replace the switches. They're probably the cheapest component on the machine.
Feb 23, 2016 6:45 AM - JeffTheMess: you could also solder them on like I did, maybe you think theres a good connection when it isnt I had that same problem
Feb 23, 2016 6:45 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Micro-Switch-Roller-Action/dp/B00E0JOTV8
Feb 23, 2016 6:46 AM - daniel871: $5 for 10 switches.
Feb 23, 2016 6:46 AM - mycb: swithc has already be replaced
Feb 23, 2016 6:47 AM - daniel871: While this current problem is going on?
Feb 23, 2016 6:48 AM - mycb: yes
Feb 23, 2016 6:48 AM - JeffTheMess: does it happen when it prints? The switches get disabled when printing
Feb 23, 2016 6:49 AM - mycb: it happened thelast time when i first start printing.
Feb 23, 2016 6:50 AM - mycb: it happens then or when i click the all button in movement controls
Feb 23, 2016 6:53 AM - JeffTheMess: during printing its disables, while you manually move it in the software(moving on the Z axis) it wont stop (from what I see on my printer)
Feb 23, 2016 6:54 AM - JeffTheMess: X and Y should stop even if manual
Feb 23, 2016 6:54 AM - Schlomo: i have the same results as Jeff
Feb 23, 2016 6:55 AM - Schlomo: only time my switches are taken into consideration is Auto-level and homing from what I can tell
Feb 23, 2016 6:55 AM - JeffTheMess: thats all its used for
Feb 23, 2016 6:55 AM - NFOsec: Guten Morgen.
Feb 23, 2016 6:55 AM - mycb: and that is where the problem is eitehr when i'm doing leveling or homing it
Feb 23, 2016 6:55 AM - Schlomo: Morgen
Feb 23, 2016 6:55 AM - JeffTheMess: so if you hit the bed, and the stepper keep turning while you do it manual it won't stop
Feb 23, 2016 6:56 AM - JeffTheMess: guten ta
Feb 23, 2016 6:56 AM - mycb: no it doesn't stop i have to push the switch down with my finger to get it to stop
Feb 23, 2016 6:57 AM - Schlomo: did you ever modify firmware?
Feb 23, 2016 6:58 AM - Schlomo: sounds like your printer endstops are not inverted and should be or visa versa
Feb 23, 2016 6:58 AM - Schlomo: although the thing shouldn't move normally, so maybe not
Feb 23, 2016 6:58 AM - JeffTheMess: it shouldn't stop because its not leveling
Feb 23, 2016 6:58 AM - mycb: no i'm using the last one that support sent me about a month ago
Feb 23, 2016 6:59 AM - mycb: what do you mean it shouldn't stop becuase its not leveling?
Feb 23, 2016 6:59 AM - daniel871: Hahaha. http://i.imgur.com/1Fz9TbF.gif
Feb 23, 2016 6:59 AM - mycb: this happens after leveling
Feb 23, 2016 6:59 AM - JeffTheMess: it wont stop after leveling
Feb 23, 2016 6:59 AM - Schlomo: The only time the switches are taken into consideration are during the G28 and G29 commands from what I can tell
Feb 23, 2016 7:00 AM - daniel871: Pretty much, Schlomo.
Feb 23, 2016 7:00 AM - JeffTheMess: if you'd like to wait for the mastermind of MKelly he is a robo guru and has the kickerstarter as well
Feb 23, 2016 7:00 AM - Schlomo: Also, mycb do you have a Multimeter?
Feb 23, 2016 7:00 AM - JeffTheMess: that was funny dan
Feb 23, 2016 7:01 AM - mycb: no i dont have a mulitmeter
Feb 23, 2016 7:01 AM - mycb: tell me this.... how should i set the print head and screw before i do the leveling?
Feb 23, 2016 7:01 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/Volmate-Digit...TF8&qid=1456239547&sr=8-3&keywords=multimeter
Feb 23, 2016 7:02 AM - daniel871: $9
Feb 23, 2016 7:02 AM - NFOsec: hand-turn
Feb 23, 2016 7:02 AM - daniel871: Also, make sure the X-axis runs parallel to the glass bed.

 

Feb 23, 2016 7:02 AM - daniel871: If one side is too far out of kilter with the other that'll screw up the switches too.
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 AM - daniel871: Parallel != level, by the way. So a regular bubble level won't help.
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 AM - Schlomo: Right. While the carriage is in the middle of the X axis, both switches should look like they're being evenly pressed
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 AM - Schlomo: Although this can be more finely tuned
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 AM - mycb: i had tuen it on both sides and make sure its only the height of a paper on both sides before i level it
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 AM - Schlomo: by checking the height of the nozzle in relation to the bed accross the x axis
Feb 23, 2016 7:04 AM - Schlomo: right
Feb 23, 2016 7:04 AM - Schlomo: Is it possible for you to take a video of your symptoms and post it to youtube?
Feb 23, 2016 7:04 AM - daniel871: I used one of these to check that the X-axis was parallel to the glass bed. http://www.amazon.com/AccuRemote-Di...&qid=1456239678&sr=8-11&keywords=angle+finder
Feb 23, 2016 7:04 AM - Schlomo: maybe we just need a better view of what you're describing
Feb 23, 2016 7:06 AM - mycb: what part of this od you want to see? the hand set up before the leveling? the leveling? what happens after?
Feb 23, 2016 7:07 AM - Schlomo: I'll take your word that you manually set it, mainly just want to see when it drives into the bed
Feb 23, 2016 7:07 AM - Schlomo: and the events leading to that, so if you send it a command or something, or start a print, whatever you need to do to make it fail
Feb 23, 2016 7:08 AM - JeffTheMess: is this whole situation because the print isn't sticking well or because you want the zswitch to stop when you are manually doing it?
Feb 23, 2016 7:09 AM - JeffTheMess: whats the root problem on why the switch is bothering the printer?
Feb 23, 2016 7:10 AM - WheresWaldo: Good Mid-Morning to everyone.
Feb 23, 2016 7:10 AM - Schlomo: Morning Waldo
Feb 23, 2016 7:11 AM - JeffTheMess: morning waldo
Feb 23, 2016 7:11 AM - mycb: i'm not sure what you mean. the problem is when i start to print or click the home button the print head goes all the way down and hits the bed and doen'st stop till i put my finger on the switch to stop it
Feb 23, 2016 7:11 AM - JeffTheMess: it will not stop when you do that
Feb 23, 2016 7:12 AM - mycb: it does stop when i push it down with my finger
Feb 23, 2016 7:12 AM - Schlomo: It should stop, Jeff.
Feb 23, 2016 7:12 AM - JeffTheMess: sorry read it wrong
Feb 23, 2016 7:12 AM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 23, 2016 7:12 AM - JeffTheMess: whoops
Feb 23, 2016 7:13 AM - Schlomo: mycb, so when the z axis goes down, the switch is in what state before the nozzle hits the bed? Open or closed?
Feb 23, 2016 7:13 AM - JeffTheMess: did you check the connections on the ramps board i'd assume?
Feb 23, 2016 7:13 AM - mycb: what height should hte print head be before i start the leveling and how should the screw be set before i do the leveling?
Feb 23, 2016 7:14 AM - mycb: if the switch stop when i put my finger on it i would think it working
Feb 23, 2016 7:14 AM - Schlomo: Take a look at my qustion 4 lines above
Feb 23, 2016 7:15 AM - mycb: its open and its open after it hits the bed
Feb 23, 2016 7:16 AM - JeffTheMess: (no such thing as a silly question) is it upside down maybe
Feb 23, 2016 7:16 AM - Schlomo: Someone with more familiarity with the Kickstarter bot know if that is normal or not?
Feb 23, 2016 7:16 AM - Schlomo: Mine are normally closed, and when the nozzle touches the bed it opens the switches
Feb 23, 2016 7:16 AM - JeffTheMess: MKelly has the kickstarter
Feb 23, 2016 7:17 AM - Schlomo: the switch should change state after the nozzle hits the bed
Feb 23, 2016 7:17 AM - Schlomo: so mycb, there should be some mechanism in place to do that, and on your printer it is not setup correctly
Feb 23, 2016 7:18 AM - mycb: yes i understand it should close before it hits the bed. that is the problem its not
Feb 23, 2016 7:18 AM - Schlomo: mycp could you post up a picture of your switch and how its oriented on your left or right side z axis rods?
Feb 23, 2016 7:19 AM - Schlomo: Yeah, i understand the problem mycb, so lets figure out why it not tripping the switch. If you can manually touch it with your finger i woudl assume the switch is not oriented correctly
Feb 23, 2016 7:20 AM - Schlomo: does your robo have the bracket the switch is mounted to on the vertical z axis rod?
Feb 23, 2016 7:21 AM - WheresWaldo: I am reluctant to jump in here and repeat anything you have already done, but have you tried to actually look at the state of the switches via software on and off the bed? http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M119:_Get_Endstop_Status
Feb 23, 2016 7:21 AM - Schlomo: or is it on the actual assembly that moves up and down which the carriage is attached to?
Feb 23, 2016 7:22 AM - Schlomo: Yeah, he mentioned that the switch is never depressed, and he can manually trip the switch and the axis stops like it should, so im assuming the switch is just not in the right place to be tripp e
Feb 23, 2016 7:23 AM - WheresWaldo: Do we have a picture of the switch setup?
Feb 23, 2016 7:23 AM - Schlomo: i've requested one, but not yet.
Feb 23, 2016 7:25 AM - mycb:
Feb 23, 2016 7:26 AM - mycb: http://circuitbent.cz/20160223_162546.jpg
Feb 23, 2016 7:26 AM - Schlomo: Ok, thats what I assumed. Move the nozzle down to a papers width above the bed. Loosen the screw on the Switch assembly and move it up until the switch is triggered. Tighten the screw on the switch bracket so that it doesnt move. THat should fix it.
Feb 23, 2016 7:26 AM - daniel871: That switch mount needs to be moved until it contacts the X-axis.
Feb 23, 2016 7:27 AM - daniel871: Also, here's the old community support document that was put together for the kickstarter/beta models if you ever need it for reference. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fryBbKG8rpOCfsWk3UbcJzHEItqHU0iFY7uVRF3sFx0/edit?pli=1
Feb 23, 2016 7:28 AM - mycb: Schlomo - all of this is what i'm already doing
Feb 23, 2016 7:29 AM - Schlomo: but that doesnt line up with what you're saying then
Feb 23, 2016 7:29 AM - Schlomo: you said the switch is Not pressed when the nozzle hits the bed
Feb 23, 2016 7:30 AM - mycb: it is when i set it up
Feb 23, 2016 7:30 AM - Schlomo: which means that the switch is too far away from the carriage assembly as it moves down. Remedy is to move the bracket the switch is mounted to up.
Feb 23, 2016 7:30 AM - Schlomo: is it too loose?
Feb 23, 2016 7:30 AM - mycb: i move the print head down by hand then i set the screw.
Feb 23, 2016 7:30 AM - Schlomo: and moving down?
Feb 23, 2016 7:31 AM - Schlomo: if it is you could try putting some electrical tape on the shaft and clamp the switch bracket around it.
Feb 23, 2016 7:31 AM - mycb: i move the print head donw i then set the the screw so it trigger the switch.
Feb 23, 2016 7:31 AM - WheresWaldo: Better idea, move the head to 5 mm above the bed. Then reposition both switches so that they are depressed under each X axis idler arm.
Feb 23, 2016 7:32 AM - WheresWaldo: By head I mean nozzle tip.
Feb 23, 2016 7:34 AM - mycb: there is only one switch on the right side. what will setting it 5mm above do? i dont understand
Feb 23, 2016 7:34 AM - WheresWaldo: The top of the switch should be in contact with the bottom of the x axis idler arms at all times, except at the point where it touches the bed.
Feb 23, 2016 7:35 AM - Schlomo: with the switch clamp tightened, can you physically move it by hand easily?
Feb 23, 2016 7:35 AM - WheresWaldo: I thought it was two pictures but I see that the first picture was just upside down
Feb 23, 2016 7:36 AM - mycb: no i cant move it. i have just tried
Feb 23, 2016 7:36 AM - Schlomo: try moving it up slightly
Feb 23, 2016 7:36 AM - Schlomo: maybe 3-4 mm just to ensure when you do a home of the z axis it can touch the switch
Feb 23, 2016 7:36 AM - mycb: it does not move at all
Feb 23, 2016 7:36 AM - Schlomo: this will ensure the switch contact is made with the idler arm
Feb 23, 2016 7:37 AM - WheresWaldo: there is a screw on the bracket holding the switch that you must loosen, then move the assembly then retighten.
Feb 23, 2016 7:38 AM - mycb: why do i need to mvoe it up?
Feb 23, 2016 7:38 AM - WheresWaldo: because it has to touch in normal operation
Feb 23, 2016 7:38 AM - Schlomo: to test that when you do a home of the axis that it is working properly
Feb 23, 2016 7:39 AM - mycb: the screw is there that you move down to it hits the switch i have don that. i dont see why i need to mvoe the switch up
Feb 23, 2016 7:39 AM - Schlomo: because you said during a home command it doesnt get pressed
Feb 23, 2016 7:39 AM - daniel871: If the nozzle touches the bed without touching that arm on the switch, then you need to move the switch up so it can make contact.
Feb 23, 2016 7:40 AM - mycb: you can either screw the screw down more till it hit the switch or move the swithc up. both do the sam thing
Feb 23, 2016 7:40 AM - Schlomo: well, do one or the other
Feb 23, 2016 7:40 AM - daniel871: Is the nozzle touching the bed in either of those pictures you posted?
Feb 23, 2016 7:40 AM - mycb: i have already done this.
Feb 23, 2016 7:40 AM - WheresWaldo: Schlomo, this is a beta with a screw defined as the stop, it's a crappy design and harder to adjust and describe.
Feb 23, 2016 7:40 AM - daniel871: Clearly not.
Feb 23, 2016 7:41 AM - mycb: i set the print head so its just above the bed. then i move the screw down so it trigger the switch
Feb 23, 2016 7:41 AM - WheresWaldo: Here is the bottom line, regardless of where the actual switch is located, at location Z0 it must be depressed
Feb 23, 2016 7:41 AM - Schlomo: Yeah, i see that Waldo from his image. Still think he should just move the switch up a large amount to ensure it is triggered properly, even if the nozzle is in mid air when it happens
Feb 23, 2016 7:42 AM - mycb: it is when i set it up?
Feb 23, 2016 7:42 AM - WheresWaldo: If that means screwing in the stop more then just do it.
Feb 23, 2016 7:43 AM - WheresWaldo: mycb is that a question or statement?
Feb 23, 2016 7:43 AM - mycb: it was a statment
Feb 23, 2016 7:43 AM - daniel871: Is there a gap like you sent a picture of when the nozzle is at a paper-thin distance from the bed?
Feb 23, 2016 7:44 AM - daniel871: If so, the switch needs to move. If not, the switch is probably bad.
Feb 23, 2016 7:44 AM - mycb: no
Feb 23, 2016 7:44 AM - daniel871: Assuming the switch is wired in correctly.
Feb 23, 2016 7:44 AM - WheresWaldo: And the firmware has the logic inverted.
Feb 23, 2016 7:45 AM - mycb: the switch is triggered when iset it up
Feb 23, 2016 7:45 AM - daniel871: Firmware is a whole other ball of wax that I don't think mycb has modified, Waldo.
Feb 23, 2016 7:45 AM - mycb: the swithc is not bad. i ahve tested it and also changed it to a different one that i also tested

 

Feb 23, 2016 7:46 AM - JeffTheMess: mycb say he can press it with his finger and it does stop, so the firmware should be right
Feb 23, 2016 7:46 AM - WheresWaldo: That's backwards
Feb 23, 2016 7:46 AM - daniel871: He doesn't have the auto-level, Waldo.
Feb 23, 2016 7:46 AM - WheresWaldo: pressed should be the state all the time
Feb 23, 2016 7:47 AM - daniel871: The switch was stationary on the old kickstarters.
Feb 23, 2016 7:47 AM - WheresWaldo: I see
Feb 23, 2016 7:47 AM - WheresWaldo: so switch is wired to NC or NO on betas?
Feb 23, 2016 7:47 AM - daniel871: mycb could always re-flash the original firmware if he never modified it and see if that helps.
Feb 23, 2016 7:47 AM - daniel871: http://download.robo3d.com/firmware/R1/ROBO3D_BETA_6_10.zip
Feb 23, 2016 7:47 AM - mycb: i have a new circuit board and support had me download new firmware because of the switch that was changed after i got my printer
Feb 23, 2016 7:48 AM - mycb: but,,,, but this was happeing before the new board and firmware
Feb 23, 2016 7:48 AM - daniel871: That link I just posted is supposed to be the firmware for the kickstarter version of the printer if you haven't already downloaded it.
Feb 23, 2016 7:49 AM - mycb: i have a new circuit board and with it the switch was changed. so i have new firmware for this board
Feb 23, 2016 7:50 AM - daniel871: The reason this is tricky is there are about three or four different ways this same problem could be happening.
Feb 23, 2016 7:51 AM - mycb: also as i have said. this is random i coudl get it all set up print 2 or 3 things and then 2 days later go to print and this happens
Feb 23, 2016 7:51 AM - daniel871: You could have: 1) A bad switch. 2) A switch that has bad wires that are randomly failing, 3) a firmware problem, 4) a physical setup problem with the spacing between the switch and the carriage (is the switch going into a slot in the bottom of the carriage? etc.).
Feb 23, 2016 7:53 AM - daniel871: That last one assumes the molded parts have hollow areas in them on your kickstarter like they do on both of my R1s.
Feb 23, 2016 7:55 AM - daniel871: Do you leave the printer idling for those 2 or 3 days between prints or power it off?
Feb 23, 2016 7:55 AM - mycb: power off
Feb 23, 2016 8:57 AM - Mike Kelly: woof just had the talk with the president
Feb 23, 2016 8:57 AM - Mike Kelly: that was rough
Feb 23, 2016 8:59 AM - daniel871:
Feb 23, 2016 9:02 AM - JeffTheMess: lol nice dan

Feb 23, 2016 9:46 AM - Schlomo: Hola
Feb 23, 2016 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: yo
Feb 23, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: any cool project lately?
Feb 23, 2016 10:07 AM - Schlomo: im having trouble thinking of things that are easy enough for me to learn CAD and design
Feb 23, 2016 10:08 AM - JeffTheMess: gears
Feb 23, 2016 10:08 AM - Schlomo: i have no need for gears lol
Feb 23, 2016 10:08 AM - JeffTheMess: lol teaches about tolerance
Feb 23, 2016 10:09 AM - JeffTheMess: if your learn to cad then anything you design is good
Feb 23, 2016 10:09 AM - Schlomo: Lol my volcano doesnt care about tolerance
Feb 23, 2016 10:11 AM - JeffTheMess: make a quad
Feb 23, 2016 10:14 AM - Schlomo: hmm
Feb 23, 2016 10:16 AM - JeffTheMess:
Feb 23, 2016 10:17 AM - Schlomo: fits like a glove
Feb 23, 2016 10:18 AM - JeffTheMess: had to break it into 6 parts, you can do it in two
Feb 23, 2016 10:18 AM - JeffTheMess: (lucky bastard)
Feb 23, 2016 10:20 AM - Schlomo: Lol i dont have the beast yet
Feb 23, 2016 10:20 AM - Schlomo: need the linear rods and 3 more risers
Feb 23, 2016 10:21 AM - JeffTheMess: you should get a 3dhub that size may make you some spare money
Feb 23, 2016 10:21 AM - Schlomo: I have one.
Feb 23, 2016 10:22 AM - Schlomo: no ones bit yet
Feb 23, 2016 10:22 AM - Schlomo: had it for like 2 months
Feb 23, 2016 10:22 AM - Schlomo: probably need more pictures or something, idk
Feb 23, 2016 10:22 AM - JeffTheMess: you did the marvin print?
Feb 23, 2016 10:23 AM - Schlomo: Yep
Feb 23, 2016 10:23 AM - JeffTheMess: lets see it
Feb 23, 2016 10:24 AM - Schlomo: i should probably re do it, i've come a long way since that print
Feb 23, 2016 10:24 AM - Schlomo: plus im using my volcano now...
Feb 23, 2016 10:24 AM - Schlomo: https://www.3dhubs.com/ann-arbor/hubs/schlomo
Feb 23, 2016 10:28 AM - JeffTheMess: not bad
Feb 23, 2016 10:28 AM - Schlomo: couldnt figure out how to flip the Storm Trooper Coozy image.. wouldnt let me upload if i rotated it on my PC lol
Feb 23, 2016 10:28 AM - Schlomo: didnt care enough to figure it out at the moment.
Feb 23, 2016 10:31 AM - Schlomo: think it'd help if i threw up some pictures of my printer, too?
Feb 23, 2016 10:32 AM - JeffTheMess: once you get the beast going yes
Feb 23, 2016 10:33 AM - Schlomo: Gotcha, so that'll probably be the biggest selling point?
Feb 23, 2016 10:33 AM - Schlomo: i'll need to remake my enclosure
Feb 23, 2016 10:34 AM - JeffTheMess: it could be
Feb 23, 2016 10:34 AM - JeffTheMess: size matters in 3d world
Feb 23, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: 30" linear rods ordered
Feb 23, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: volcano should let me print the remaining risers quickly
Feb 23, 2016 10:36 AM - Schlomo: just a matter of time now
Feb 23, 2016 10:49 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah
Feb 23, 2016 10:55 AM - Schlomo: I guess I have another pritner I could put up there also
Feb 23, 2016 12:12 PM - toymaker: what kind of 30" linear rails?
Feb 23, 2016 12:22 PM - Schlomo: 8mm
Feb 23, 2016 12:22 PM - Schlomo: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BBF9SY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Feb 23, 2016 12:46 PM - Mike Kelly: figure out a thing that does not have a bracket and needs one and make a bracket
Feb 23, 2016 12:51 PM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 23, 2016 12:52 PM - Schlomo: Thats how I prove to my wife why I needed a 3d printer
Feb 23, 2016 12:53 PM - daniel871: Print this and give it to her. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:827266
Feb 23, 2016 12:53 PM - daniel871: Except scaled up to fit whatever the new Robo print area is.
Feb 23, 2016 12:55 PM - Schlomo: oh god
Feb 23, 2016 12:55 PM - Schlomo: im at work ffs
Feb 23, 2016 12:55 PM - Schlomo: Glad no one was behind me while I had a b plug stl on my screen LOL!
Feb 23, 2016 12:56 PM - daniel871: The title clearly says egg cup.
Feb 23, 2016 12:56 PM - Schlomo: Yeah, screw the title
Feb 23, 2016 12:56 PM - daniel871: There are, like, 100 of them on Thingiverse.
Feb 23, 2016 12:57 PM - daniel871: (though only that one actually has the egg in it and is clearly meant for something else).
Feb 23, 2016 12:57 PM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/search/page:1?q=egg+cup&sa=
Feb 23, 2016 12:57 PM - daniel871: 2nd result is the eggbot project.
Feb 23, 2016 12:58 PM - Schlomo: That'll be the next "Lets play guess what im printing" game
Feb 23, 2016 12:58 PM - Schlomo: with my print stream
Feb 23, 2016 12:58 PM - Schlomo: i cleaned up my cables a bit btw
Feb 23, 2016 12:59 PM - danzca6: MC 1.5 came out...claims better support...I like this line in the article "The free, open source 3D print and slicing program has widely been seen as a more robust version of Cura or Slic3r or as an alternative to paid 3D printing software like Simplify3d" More robust than Cura? Interesting. http://3dprint.com/121141/mattercontrol-1-5-update/
Feb 23, 2016 1:01 PM - daniel871: I don't know whether to laugh at that or get angry about it, danzca.
Feb 23, 2016 1:03 PM - danzca6: right...I thought it was a mixed bag to post
Feb 23, 2016 1:04 PM - danzca6: not sure I want to install it to see the "improvements"
Feb 23, 2016 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: if they didn't add a temp graph don't even bother

 

Feb 23, 2016 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly: doesn't list it...
Feb 23, 2016 1:35 PM - daniel871: Who needs a temp graph in their slicer when Octoprint is a thing that's fairly cheap to set up?
Feb 23, 2016 1:35 PM - daniel871:
Feb 23, 2016 1:35 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah octoprint owns
Feb 23, 2016 1:35 PM - Mike Kelly: i wish simplify3d would make a plugin for it
Feb 23, 2016 1:36 PM - Mike Kelly: don't see that happening though
Feb 23, 2016 1:37 PM - daniel871: Could a Raspberry Pi handle Simplify3D?
Feb 23, 2016 1:38 PM - daniel871: Or do you just mean as an plugin that you can upload process settings to and have it run, but be bare-bones as far as the visualizations/etc. go.
Feb 23, 2016 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Feb 23, 2016 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: similar to how cura is in it
Feb 23, 2016 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: but ya
Feb 23, 2016 1:42 PM - daniel871: The folks at S3D would just tell us to slice with S3D and upload to the Pi after slicing, probably.
Feb 23, 2016 1:43 PM - Mike Kelly: well i mean that's how i do it and it's fine i don't mind that
Feb 23, 2016 1:43 PM - Mike Kelly: but would be cool
Feb 23, 2016 1:45 PM - daniel871: I wish I could get an automatic notification email setup for a print failure/print completion, or an automatic "Upload time-lapses to a Youtube account" add-on.
Feb 23, 2016 1:46 PM - Mike Kelly: email notifier plugin for the former
Feb 23, 2016 1:46 PM - Mike Kelly: the latter is a totally cool idea though
Feb 23, 2016 1:46 PM - daniel871: For some reason nobody has made one that you can just put your Youtube account login info into and have it upload the compiled timelapses with.
Feb 23, 2016 1:47 PM - daniel871: Probably some kind of dumb security issue.
Feb 23, 2016 1:47 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i don't know what youtube's API's are like
Feb 23, 2016 1:47 PM - Mike Kelly: might be something they discourage
Feb 23, 2016 1:49 PM - danzca6: well, if that timelapse captures your naked butt walking around the house, you might want to review before posting ... haha
Feb 23, 2016 1:50 PM - Mike Kelly: where do you have your camera point
Feb 23, 2016 1:52 PM - danzca6: well, just an example. I don't have a camera hooked up yet to mine.
Feb 23, 2016 1:52 PM - danzca6: having a text sent when finished or error would be nice
Feb 23, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i was going to do that by setting my @vtext.com number
Feb 23, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: just email me to my text number
Feb 23, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: but first i needed to figure out how to put in my email info since it won't let me install keyring
Feb 23, 2016 2:33 PM - jbigler1986: just redid my table saw sled
Feb 23, 2016 2:33 PM - jbigler1986: cut the stupid grooves off of the railes so i can use a solid piece of wood
Feb 23, 2016 2:34 PM - Schlomo: anyone know a command i can send my printer to set the default print speed during a print?
Feb 23, 2016 2:34 PM - Schlomo: print is already running and want to slow it down a hair
Feb 23, 2016 2:37 PM - jbigler1986: nope
Feb 23, 2016 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: do you have lcd?
Feb 23, 2016 2:38 PM - Schlomo: nope
Feb 23, 2016 2:39 PM - jbigler1986: are you by the printer
Feb 23, 2016 2:40 PM - Schlomo: I can be
Feb 23, 2016 2:40 PM - Schlomo: i use octoprint
Feb 23, 2016 2:40 PM - Schlomo: so my only option is a terminal command
Feb 23, 2016 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: what software are you using to print with
Feb 23, 2016 2:40 PM - Schlomo: s3d slicer, octoprint
Feb 23, 2016 2:41 PM - jbigler1986: did you start the print with s3d or octoprint?
Feb 23, 2016 2:41 PM - Schlomo: octo
Feb 23, 2016 2:47 PM - jbigler1986: i'm sure there is a command i just dont know it. do a quick search and i'm sure you will find it
Feb 23, 2016 3:55 PM - daniel871: Hit the Control tab in the Octoprint browser and look at the slider and feedrate readout button.
Feb 23, 2016 3:55 PM - daniel871: Slide the slider to the feedrate you want, click the button.
Feb 23, 2016 5:00 PM - stahlee: Hey Mike
Feb 23, 2016 5:00 PM - stahlee: are you available for for mesh bed leveling chat
Feb 23, 2016 5:09 PM - Mike Kelly: sure
Feb 23, 2016 5:12 PM - stahlee: ok
Feb 23, 2016 5:12 PM - stahlee: so installed the RC3 firmware
Feb 23, 2016 5:12 PM - stahlee: printer seems happy
Feb 23, 2016 5:12 PM - stahlee: i haven't printed or anything
Feb 23, 2016 5:13 PM - stahlee: reconnected my XXL LCD
Feb 23, 2016 5:13 PM - stahlee: Although i get nothing but blocks
Feb 23, 2016 5:13 PM - stahlee: i was looking through Configuration.h to see which section to uncomment
Feb 23, 2016 5:14 PM - stahlee: G29 says mesh leveling not active
Feb 23, 2016 5:14 PM - stahlee: so that must not be the command
Feb 23, 2016 5:15 PM - Mike Kelly: no you don't use G29 if you enabled mesh
Feb 23, 2016 5:16 PM - stahlee: hmm
Feb 23, 2016 5:16 PM - Mike Kelly: which firmware exactly did you install? did you verify ABL is disabled and mesh is enabled?
Feb 23, 2016 5:16 PM - stahlee: trying to enable the xxl
Feb 23, 2016 5:18 PM - Mike Kelly: eh?
Feb 23, 2016 5:18 PM - stahlee: I used the RC3 code waldo posted and the Configuration.h file he posted for you with mesh enabled
Feb 23, 2016 5:19 PM - stahlee: it is enabled and ABL is commented out
Feb 23, 2016 5:19 PM - daniel871: The LCD has nothing to do with that.
Feb 23, 2016 5:19 PM - stahlee: i know
Feb 23, 2016 5:19 PM - stahlee: i just want it working again
Feb 23, 2016 5:19 PM - daniel871: Are you sure the cables are plugged in the correct order?
Feb 23, 2016 5:20 PM - stahlee: yeah
Feb 23, 2016 5:20 PM - Mike Kelly: ok thanks
Feb 23, 2016 5:20 PM - Mike Kelly: dan he changed it
Feb 23, 2016 5:20 PM - Mike Kelly: to use xxl you need to change it back
Feb 23, 2016 5:20 PM - daniel871: Use the Find function to look for the lines about enabling LCD controllers.
Feb 23, 2016 5:20 PM - Mike Kelly: one sec
Feb 23, 2016 5:21 PM - daniel871: I think Waldo's firmware has the Graphics LCD enabled instead of the Reprapdiscount LCD.
Feb 23, 2016 5:21 PM - stahlee: yeah
Feb 23, 2016 5:21 PM - stahlee: i'm looking
Feb 23, 2016 5:22 PM - daniel871: Should be one of the first options to uncomment for LCD screens, then comment out the one further down.
Feb 23, 2016 5:23 PM - stahlee: found it
Feb 23, 2016 5:23 PM - stahlee: uploading firmware
Feb 23, 2016 5:26 PM - daniel871: IIRC, there were some notes right before the section you want to change that explain what some examples are.
Feb 23, 2016 5:26 PM - jbigler1986: What is this mesh speak. Haven't looked into it
Feb 23, 2016 5:26 PM - daniel871: Proper bed-leveling the way everyone thought auto-bed leveling worked.
Feb 23, 2016 5:27 PM - daniel871: Really processor intensive depending on how many sampling points you have it do though.
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - stahlee: well, it's upset with enabling the riprap discount lcd
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - stahlee: won't compile
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - stahlee: i'll worry about that later
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - jim3Dbot: Mesh is the latest Marlin download, Goin' to it this weekend...I think manual abl.....
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - stahlee: ok
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - daniel871:
Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM - stahlee: so how do i use the mesh
Feb 23, 2016 5:29 PM - jim3Dbot: Mike knows, I will this weekend...
Feb 23, 2016 5:29 PM - daniel871: I'll leave it to Mike. I know a goon on another website has done it but they didn't post a write-up of how to enable it.
Feb 23, 2016 5:31 PM - stahlee: yeah, i don't see any documentation for it
Feb 23, 2016 5:31 PM - jim3Dbot: Seems it may compensate for a bed with astigamatism, speeling?.....not just forward rear or sise to side outta level
Feb 23, 2016 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: It's all your fault jim
Feb 23, 2016 5:32 PM - jim3Dbot: Okay, thats fair.......JB........
Feb 23, 2016 5:33 PM - jim3Dbot: I downloaded monday...read a little but in the middle of a job so cannot chk-out yet
Feb 23, 2016 5:34 PM - jim3Dbot: Download from reprap site

 

Feb 23, 2016 5:35 PM - jim3Dbot: I also noticed robo home page, does not reference Marlin under software any more for download, only matter controlless....
Feb 23, 2016 5:37 PM - jim3Dbot: I have seen comments that mesh abl once, then print without it again.....we will get to the bottom of it..........waldo probably knows
Feb 23, 2016 5:39 PM - Mike Kelly: ok sorry i'm in and out
Feb 23, 2016 5:39 PM - jim3Dbot: Mikey knows mesh....
Feb 23, 2016 5:40 PM - Mike Kelly: where are we at in the troubleshooting?
Feb 23, 2016 5:40 PM - stahlee: i'll have to come back to the lcd
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - Mike Kelly: disable full graphics and enable smart controller
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - stahlee: it won't compile when i enable the reprap lcd
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - stahlee: so
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - stahlee: i did
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - Mike Kelly: can you post what you're using
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - stahlee: getting errors from the U8glib libraries
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - Mike Kelly: just the config.h is all i need
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - Mike Kelly: pastebin is fine
Feb 23, 2016 5:41 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah you need to disable the U8Glib call
Feb 23, 2016 5:42 PM - stahlee: hm
Feb 23, 2016 5:43 PM - stahlee: in config.h
Feb 23, 2016 5:43 PM - Mike Kelly: do a ctrl+f
Feb 23, 2016 5:44 PM - Mike Kelly: but yeah it would be in config.
Feb 23, 2016 5:44 PM - stahlee: i'm editing the file with vi
Feb 23, 2016 5:44 PM - Mike Kelly: ?
Feb 23, 2016 5:44 PM - Mike Kelly: use arduino ide it's fine
Feb 23, 2016 5:46 PM - stahlee: it's defined in Marlin.ino
Feb 23, 2016 5:48 PM - NFOsec: Word up people.
Feb 23, 2016 5:48 PM - stahlee: hmm
Feb 23, 2016 5:49 PM - stahlee: there is no U8 call in Configuration.h
Feb 23, 2016 5:49 PM - NFOsec: maybe It's U2? LOL.
Feb 23, 2016 5:49 PM - NFOsec: Ah, I love vi.
Feb 23, 2016 5:50 PM - NFOsec: esc :wq get the hell out quick while saving.
Feb 23, 2016 5:52 PM - stahlee: well, i'm come back around to the LCD later
Feb 23, 2016 5:52 PM - stahlee: Mike, how do i use the mesh
Feb 23, 2016 5:52 PM - stahlee: i've been using vi for 20 yrs
Feb 23, 2016 5:52 PM - stahlee: it's old hat
Feb 23, 2016 5:53 PM - NFOsec: Mike: ctrl-F it's actually more of a /search string
Feb 23, 2016 5:53 PM - NFOsec: ?search string to go backwards. N backuwards next n forwards next.
Feb 23, 2016 5:54 PM - NFOsec: stahlee: yeah, I've been using it 1980, so I guess that puts me on what, 36 years now?
Feb 23, 2016 5:55 PM - NFOsec: wow. time flies.
Feb 23, 2016 5:55 PM - NFOsec: beats the hell out of edlin, ed, ex, and all the other scary ones.
Feb 23, 2016 5:55 PM - stahlee: indeed
Feb 23, 2016 5:55 PM - NFOsec: In fact, I would prefer vi over any other sophisticated editor except Ultraedit.
Feb 23, 2016 5:59 PM - stahlee: bingo, got it working now
Feb 23, 2016 5:59 PM - NFOsec: cool beans whatever it was that wasn't working.
Feb 23, 2016 5:59 PM - stahlee: #define DOGLCD needed commented out
Feb 23, 2016 5:59 PM - stahlee: is Mike still here
Feb 23, 2016 6:00 PM - NFOsec: Mike never leaves. his life has been doomed by the chains of RoboForum hell. LOL.
Feb 23, 2016 6:00 PM - NFOsec: says he dropped off.
Feb 23, 2016 6:01 PM - stahlee: dang it
Feb 23, 2016 6:02 PM - NFOsec: he'll be back before you know it.
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: do you know it yet?
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - stahlee: nope
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - stahlee: i have the lcd working now
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: cool
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - stahlee: so, the mesh leveling
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - NFOsec: Told you stahlee. doomed.
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: k
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - stahlee: indeed
Feb 23, 2016 6:05 PM - stahlee: or did you want to skype
Feb 23, 2016 6:06 PM - Mike Kelly: i just use skype chat
Feb 23, 2016 6:06 PM - stahlee: ok
Feb 23, 2016 6:06 PM - stahlee: would you rather do that
Feb 23, 2016 6:07 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i get notifications that way
Feb 23, 2016 6:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i think you can even use skype from the web now
Feb 23, 2016 6:09 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm just sort of all over the place atm
Feb 23, 2016 6:11 PM - NFOsec: yeah, scatter-brained. how's the job?
Feb 23, 2016 6:19 PM - Mike Kelly: which?
Feb 23, 2016 6:24 PM - Schlomo: Ah man this print looks like SHYTE
Feb 23, 2016 6:24 PM - Schlomo: http://schlomorific.ddns.net:8080/stream_simple.html
Feb 23, 2016 6:25 PM - Schlomo: look at the right side closest to the camera, see all those voids? The long lines are great, but the shorter segments look like that..
Feb 23, 2016 6:25 PM - Schlomo: and i also require a beer
Feb 23, 2016 6:28 PM - Mike Kelly: under extrusion
Feb 23, 2016 6:28 PM - Schlomo: only in that small spot?'
Feb 23, 2016 6:29 PM - Schlomo: the rest of the walls look great
Feb 23, 2016 6:30 PM - Schlomo: I calibrated my e stepps, and my extrusion multiplier is at 1.00
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 PM - Schlomo: I increased my Coast to 1.1mm, and modified my start extrusion to -0.10 for retraction to try and get rid of some blobs on my print, but am starting to wonder if i could fix both of those with my Jerk settings in Firmware
Feb 23, 2016 7:03 PM - Schlomo: Because i think those short paths are bad because of the -0.10 retraction distance and mainly Coasting
Feb 23, 2016 7:09 PM - stahlee: w00t! I used mesh bed leveling and it worked
Feb 23, 2016 7:09 PM - stahlee: Schlomo, just make sure you change one thing at a time
Feb 23, 2016 7:31 PM - Schlomo: Ugh
Feb 23, 2016 7:31 PM - Schlomo: that print was a huge failure

 

Feb 23, 2016 10:48 PM - Captain McGillacutty: anyone have problems after e3d upgrade
Feb 23, 2016 10:48 PM - Captain McGillacutty: i cannot manually move
Feb 23, 2016 10:50 PM - NFOsec: What do you mean can't manually move?
Feb 23, 2016 10:50 PM - NFOsec: such as jogging?
Feb 23, 2016 10:50 PM - Captain McGillacutty: no jogging
Feb 23, 2016 10:50 PM - Captain McGillacutty: it will home all
Feb 23, 2016 10:51 PM - Captain McGillacutty: thermo looks good
Feb 23, 2016 10:51 PM - Captain McGillacutty: well crap z is only going up now
Feb 23, 2016 10:52 PM - Captain McGillacutty: that was the limit switch
Feb 23, 2016 10:54 PM - Captain McGillacutty: nevermind screw matter control
Feb 23, 2016 10:54 PM - Captain McGillacutty: i just tore this back apart because of a crap program. cura works great
Feb 24, 2016 2:51 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Gaaaahhhh. I have a whole roll of filament that's developed all these breaks in it while it was in storage.
Feb 24, 2016 2:51 AM - AutopsyTurvy: It was in an airtight container with plenty of dessicant, but I guess temperature control is more important than I thought.
Feb 24, 2016 4:57 AM - jbigler1986: Time for mediation. Hopefully I am a single man by the end of the day
Feb 24, 2016 4:59 AM - JeffTheMess: Good luck JB
Feb 24, 2016 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Feb 24, 2016 5:29 AM - Bradf80: Any suggestions on large flat 100% infill ABS pieces? I print alot of things, but this piece is giving me hell lol
Feb 24, 2016 5:31 AM - Bradf80: I've tried a brim, tried a raft and brim set the bed temp to 105. It's enclosed. I can print another large piece just finished but it prints perpendicular to the bed instead of flat on it
Feb 24, 2016 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: I believe along with heating the space.. and I mean HOT, that it's important the build surface have the same temperature as the air in the build area
Feb 24, 2016 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: at least, that works for me
Feb 24, 2016 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: my ABS printer's space is maintained at 155F and I print on rigid foam using a raft
Feb 24, 2016 5:37 AM - Bradf80: Ambient temp inside is around 70c. I'll double check this afternoon. I preheat the bed to get the ambient temp up before I start the print.
Feb 24, 2016 5:38 AM - Bill Monroe: foam has pretty much zer heat conductivity so the build surface has little effect on the heat change of the plastic
Feb 24, 2016 5:38 AM - Bill Monroe: and (the real reason I started printing ABS on foam), it's what stratasys does
Feb 24, 2016 5:39 AM - Bradf80: And it sticks to the foam well?
Feb 24, 2016 5:39 AM - Bradf80: What exact type of foam? Something I can get at home depot?
Feb 24, 2016 5:40 AM - Bradf80: I tried a polycarbonate sheet. Works amazing for smaller prints, but it seems to have patchy grip when it comes to larger ones.
Feb 24, 2016 5:41 AM - Bill Monroe: home depot does sell small sheets of rigid insulation foam that may work but I've never tried it.. I get mine from a place called Keyston
Feb 24, 2016 5:46 AM - Bradf80: http://m.homedepot.com/p/Cellofoam-...m-Insulation-6-Pack-PF012-216-768PG/100320366
Feb 24, 2016 5:46 AM - Bradf80: Something like this?
Feb 24, 2016 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: umm no, that looks like the stuff coffee cups are made of.. this stuff is pink.. hang on a sec
Feb 24, 2016 5:47 AM - Schlomo: Do you have a picture of your setup, Bill?
Feb 24, 2016 5:48 AM - Bradf80: http://m.homedepot.com/p/Project-Pa...ulation-Sheathing-Project-Panel-PP1/203553730
Feb 24, 2016 5:48 AM - Bradf80: So like this stuff then?
Feb 24, 2016 5:48 AM - Bill Monroe: Owens Corning Foamular
Feb 24, 2016 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: ya that's it Brad
Feb 24, 2016 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: i dunno how it would work though.. just got some to try it and never did
Feb 24, 2016 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: Schlomo
Feb 24, 2016 5:50 AM - Schlomo: Yeah?
Feb 24, 2016 5:50 AM - Bradf80: Interesting. I'm all about alternative methods . I think the glass is a great all around bed material. But it seems most high end printers aren't using glass at all lol
Feb 24, 2016 5:50 AM - Bill Monroe: I dont have any pics.. keep meaning to take some but usually I start it and walk away forgetting.. it's in my hanger since it uses mass electricity and the landlord pays for electricity in the hanger
Feb 24, 2016 5:51 AM - Schlomo: Gotcha
Feb 24, 2016 5:51 AM - Schlomo: well if you think about it someday
Feb 24, 2016 5:51 AM - Schlomo: i'm sure a bunch of us would love to see if it you're willing to share
Feb 24, 2016 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: basically it uses the same format as the big box except it's all metal in the build area and has two seperate x carriages
Feb 24, 2016 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: and has some serious heaters
Feb 24, 2016 5:51 AM - Schlomo: sounds sexy
Feb 24, 2016 5:52 AM - Schlomo: i have a small 200w personal heater for my actively heated chamber on my robo
Feb 24, 2016 5:52 AM - Schlomo: but that gets me to a max 55c
Feb 24, 2016 5:52 AM - Schlomo: for abs, with the heated bed at 100c
Feb 24, 2016 5:52 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, mine has 4 800W heaters with fans that I liberated from a Statasys Prodigy Plus
Feb 24, 2016 5:53 AM - Schlomo: lol nice
Feb 24, 2016 5:53 AM - Schlomo: http://schlomorific.ddns.net:8080/stream_simple.html
Feb 24, 2016 5:53 AM - Schlomo: printing in PETg, chamber at 25c
Feb 24, 2016 5:53 AM - Schlomo: honestly, ABS prints better on my rig than anything else lol
Feb 24, 2016 5:54 AM - Bradf80:
Feb 24, 2016 5:54 AM - Bill Monroe: ive been wanting to dial the big guy in for PC but just havent had time
Feb 24, 2016 5:54 AM - Bradf80: This is what I keep getting and what I'm printing
Feb 24, 2016 5:55 AM - Schlomo: PC works on mine OK, but its a bit stringy and the layers aren't laminated together super well
Feb 24, 2016 5:55 AM - Schlomo: Might need to pump up my heater a bit
Feb 24, 2016 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: i have a pic somewhere of when I first tried PC on the hanger machine.. let me see if I can find it
Feb 24, 2016 5:57 AM - daniel871:
Feb 24, 2016 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: eh, cant find it
Feb 24, 2016 6:07 AM - Schlomo: no worries
Feb 24, 2016 6:10 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm going to be moving it to my other place in a month or two
Feb 24, 2016 6:13 AM - Bradf80: Bill, do you run the bed at all or is it left off and just outside heat is pumped in?
Feb 24, 2016 6:14 AM - Bill Monroe: that machine has a removable glass bed that I made thinking it would be the way to go.. but after trying the foam I made a seperate bed for it. so now there's no heated bed at all
Feb 24, 2016 6:15 AM - Bradf80: I figured as much. May need more outside heat. Luckily my enclosure has an exhaust vent. I'll use that to pump more heat in
Feb 24, 2016 6:16 AM - Bill Monroe: heh ya, mine can sure stink up the hanger with ABS smell.. my hanger neighbors once call the landlord because they though something was wrong
Feb 24, 2016 6:18 AM - Bradf80: I have a 12 volt PC fan wired to a wall adapter that I plug in to vent out fumes when it's done printing . It stays off for the print work so I don't create drafts
Feb 24, 2016 6:20 AM - Bradf80: If tooling an injection mold wasn't so expensive, I'd go that route . I designed an improved replacementioned part for a chair. I don't expect to see a ton of sales from it though lol
Feb 24, 2016 6:20 AM - Bill Monroe: i made provisions for a vent but the hanger is 2 1/2 stories tall so, I just vent it to the space
Feb 24, 2016 6:20 AM - Bradf80: Ahh, mine is just running a dryer duct to the wall with a dryer vent
Feb 24, 2016 6:21 AM - Bradf80: I initially had the vent in a window, but I decided in wanted to use the window lol
Feb 24, 2016 6:23 AM - Bill Monroe: the hanger is pretty drafty so it's really no big deal
Feb 24, 2016 6:24 AM - Bill Monroe: dangit, gotta reinstall frontpage
Feb 24, 2016 6:39 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey Bill
Feb 24, 2016 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: Hi Jeff
Feb 24, 2016 6:39 AM - JeffTheMess: hows the new job
Feb 24, 2016 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: kinda sux.. just doing machine design.. spend all day in front of solidworks..
Feb 24, 2016 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: it's paying the bills.. will be gone by August
Feb 24, 2016 6:42 AM - JeffTheMess: ehh not too bad I guess
Feb 24, 2016 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. but this is work for newbies who still get a woody from using solidworks.. i'm surrounded by baby grads
Feb 24, 2016 6:44 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Feb 24, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: a few days ago one of them asked me how to tell how much motor would be needed for a conveyor she's supposed to design..
Feb 24, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: gads
Feb 24, 2016 6:46 AM - JeffTheMess: well if she is fresh off the Collage boat...
Feb 24, 2016 6:46 AM - Bill Monroe: she supposedly has a MS in Mechanical Engineering
Feb 24, 2016 6:47 AM - Bill Monroe: tiny little asian girl
Feb 24, 2016 6:47 AM - JeffTheMess: oh... she should know that more or less
Feb 24, 2016 6:48 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. took a little while but she got it once I showed her how...
Feb 24, 2016 6:54 AM - Bill Monroe: my office has windows that overlook the parking lot.. pretty nice
Feb 24, 2016 7:10 AM - JeffTheMess: better than a cube
Feb 24, 2016 7:11 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. it's a pretty nice layout really.. lab/conference area with some offices and cubes around it..
Feb 24, 2016 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: 2 offices and 4 cubes along the window wall
Feb 24, 2016 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: heh.. shoulda seen them when 2.0 came to bring my lunch..
Feb 24, 2016 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: and then found out she was my wife
Feb 24, 2016 7:18 AM - JeffTheMess: talk about a woody lol
Feb 24, 2016 8:03 AM - Schlomo: anyone know a good place in the USA to purchase a bondtech
Feb 24, 2016 8:03 AM - Schlomo: ?

 

Feb 24, 2016 8:05 AM - Schlomo: found it here, but i dont know this site. http://www.smw3d.com/bondtech-qr/
Feb 24, 2016 8:43 AM - Mike Kelly: hello hello
Feb 24, 2016 8:44 AM - Schlomo: Morning
Feb 24, 2016 8:44 AM - Schlomo: All your nagging made me buy a Bondtech, MK
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: that site has been selling the bondtech for quiote a while
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly:
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: it's amazing
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: you won't regret it
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Schlomo: dude i have so many extruder issues
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Schlomo: with the volcano they're amplified 2x
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the bondtech's can push a house
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: they're insane
Feb 24, 2016 8:45 AM - Schlomo: I cant even print PETg anymore right now with my extruder
Feb 24, 2016 8:46 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah with a non geared stepper you will have lots of extruder issues
Feb 24, 2016 8:47 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah torque and grip are huge with bowden
Feb 24, 2016 8:47 AM - jbigler1986: With a geared stepper a lot of the problems will be solved. Plus you need a geared stepper for the bondtech anyways
Feb 24, 2016 8:48 AM - jbigler1986: I would try with a geared stepper first
Feb 24, 2016 8:48 AM - Schlomo: Yeah i thought about just getting a geared stepper, but bit the bullet and said Fuck it and bought the bondtech
Feb 24, 2016 8:48 AM - Mike Kelly: bondtech is king of excess
Feb 24, 2016 8:48 AM - Mike Kelly: and nothing exceeds like excess
Feb 24, 2016 8:50 AM - jbigler1986: Lol
Feb 24, 2016 8:50 AM - jbigler1986: Don't know how you were printing with bowden at all without a geared stepper
Feb 24, 2016 8:51 AM - Schlomo: it worked great with my v6
Feb 24, 2016 8:51 AM - Schlomo: 0 skipping at all
Feb 24, 2016 8:51 AM - Schlomo: now i cant print 10mm without it skipping
Feb 24, 2016 8:54 AM - daniel871: You have the volcano now?
Feb 24, 2016 8:54 AM - Schlomo: Yes
Feb 24, 2016 8:54 AM - daniel871: Was the Bowden setup a Wade geared setup?
Feb 24, 2016 8:56 AM - Schlomo: direct drive
Feb 24, 2016 8:56 AM - Schlomo: from nema 17
Feb 24, 2016 8:57 AM - daniel871: It probably just can't maintain the volume that the Volcano is able to extrude.
Feb 24, 2016 8:58 AM - daniel871: Even if the mm/s doesn't change, when you move up to a Volcano's larger nozzle the stepper has to run that much faster to push the right amount of material out.
Feb 24, 2016 8:58 AM - Schlomo: yeah i had to drop it down to 25mm/s to get it to extrude reliably
Feb 24, 2016 8:58 AM - daniel871: (and I'm honestly surprised it held out on the v6)
Feb 24, 2016 8:58 AM - Schlomo: but that kind of defeats my purpose of going to the bigger build volume with the Robo Beast risers
Feb 24, 2016 8:58 AM - Schlomo: a 15" tall part at 25mm/s is just too slow
Feb 24, 2016 8:58 AM - daniel871: If you have the Bondtech coming in you should be set.
Feb 24, 2016 8:59 AM - Schlomo: Yep
Feb 24, 2016 9:04 AM - toymaker: http://www.oneoceankayaks.com/madvac/madvac_index.htm#Indexanch pretty interesting cnc router build
Feb 24, 2016 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: man we found a home we loved but i think they're trying to do a short sale
Feb 24, 2016 9:06 AM - Mike Kelly: i thought you were opposed to welded steel frames toy
Feb 24, 2016 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: That sucks MK
Feb 24, 2016 9:08 AM - toymaker: i keep going back and forth
Feb 24, 2016 9:08 AM - toymaker: ugh
Feb 24, 2016 9:09 AM - toymaker: i was always nervous about aligning the rails for parallelism when using a steel frame, u have to mount these rails to a flat surface
Feb 24, 2016 9:13 AM - toymaker: http://imgur.com/KD84gnU i was thinking about using 1" plates and bolting them to the 8020 and then more bracing
Feb 24, 2016 9:13 AM - toymaker: the plates would be machined and grounded for the rails to mount flush to
Feb 24, 2016 9:14 AM - toymaker: im just not sure if i want to bolt steel to aluminum
Feb 24, 2016 9:17 AM - danzca6: man, if robo wants to charge a premium for these R2 printers, they better get a handle on QC. Seeing what some are running into after only a week makes me shake my head
Feb 24, 2016 9:17 AM - danzca6: IF the R2 ever sees the light of day
Feb 24, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: they just need to pitch their crappy autoleveling
Feb 24, 2016 9:33 AM - danzca6: I was starting to look this morning, is there a difference between the autoleveling we have and the mesh auto leveling in Marlin?
Feb 24, 2016 9:45 AM - daniel871: The mesh autoleveling in Marlin actually performs as advertized.
Feb 24, 2016 9:49 AM - Mike Kelly: am i the only loser kid that got a multimeter for their 13th birthday?
Feb 24, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: dan, the ABL assumes a flat bed
Feb 24, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: mesh can account for warps
Feb 24, 2016 9:50 AM - danzca6: I got about a dozen free from HF
Feb 24, 2016 9:50 AM - danzca6: neat...I should take a closer look at that then. Thanks
Feb 24, 2016 9:51 AM - danzca6: Finally, finally, http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2016/02/24/your-rights-when-you-upload-to-thingiverse
Feb 24, 2016 9:51 AM - danzca6: makerbot needs to put their foot down on this
Feb 24, 2016 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish i knew more people in boston
Feb 24, 2016 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: really need to find a realtor
Feb 24, 2016 10:03 AM - danzca6: buying or renting?
Feb 24, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: buying
Feb 24, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i have a real estate agent but some of the things she's saying to us really makes me not trust her
Feb 24, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: looking for someone like the realtor we have here
Feb 24, 2016 10:04 AM - danzca6: yeah, new area, new people, hard to find someone to trust
Feb 24, 2016 10:05 AM - danzca6: personally, I would rent until I got settled for a couple years until finding what areas are good for me. Tough hunt for sure doing it long distance
Feb 24, 2016 10:06 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i just hate moving
Feb 24, 2016 10:06 AM - Mike Kelly: so i want one and done
Feb 24, 2016 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: but we're pretty sure we know what we want
Feb 24, 2016 10:09 AM - danzca6: that might take some luck, but doing your homework now will get you close to that goal
Feb 24, 2016 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: and working outside the loop is convenient
Feb 24, 2016 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: so it's more a matter of finding the right train for my wife
Feb 24, 2016 10:19 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Yasssss, 8 hour print finally done
Feb 24, 2016 10:20 AM - Schlomo: I got my volcano to print without skipping at 25mm/s
Feb 24, 2016 10:20 AM - Schlomo: finally
Feb 24, 2016 10:20 AM - Schlomo: http://schlomorific.ddns.net:8080/stream_simple.html
Feb 24, 2016 10:21 AM - Mike Kelly: woo grat's topsy
Feb 24, 2016 10:21 AM - Mike Kelly: also long time no speak
Feb 24, 2016 10:22 AM - Schlomo: what'd ya print?
Feb 24, 2016 10:25 AM - Mike Kelly: man i'm really stupid tempted to fly to boston on sunday to look at this home
Feb 24, 2016 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: MK I will go ahead and take that prusa x axis part now
Feb 24, 2016 10:27 AM - jbigler1986:
Feb 24, 2016 10:28 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 24, 2016 10:34 AM - jbigler1986: Working on anything for the new job yet
Feb 24, 2016 10:36 AM - AutopsyTurvy: (Sorry, computer is very slow) I have made a pauldron! http://i.imgur.com/adYBr8t.jpg
Feb 24, 2016 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: i started doing the basic preemployement stuff
Feb 24, 2016 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: got my new email already
Feb 24, 2016 10:36 AM - AutopsyTurvy: http://i.imgur.com/GEJL7UE.jpg
Feb 24, 2016 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: kingdom of hearts?
Feb 24, 2016 10:37 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Naw, Dragon Age
Feb 24, 2016 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: looks nice though, will you be able to fix the under extrusion?
Feb 24, 2016 10:37 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Yeah, I'm gonna be filling it and painting it and making it look like dinged up metal - the wonky spot is no problem.
Feb 24, 2016 10:38 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Only have... three more to print... *sobs*
Feb 24, 2016 10:38 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 24, 2016 10:39 AM - AutopsyTurvy: https://www.dragonage.com/media/cac...sition/Characters/cassandra/Cassandra2-en.jpg ... the one I did is the lower part on the upper arm, need another one of those and then the upper piece (looks like two, really isn't).
Feb 24, 2016 10:39 AM - AutopsyTurvy: I could kiss whoever at Bioware made the original models though - all I had to do was weld some vertices, slap some heart cutouts in, and print.
Feb 24, 2016 11:10 AM - Schlomo: Anyone have a million dollar idea they want to give me? Im sick of working 8-5 every day
Feb 24, 2016 11:13 AM - donhuevo: mayonaisse in the tuna fish can

 

Feb 24, 2016 11:21 AM - WheresWaldo: Hey Don, new firmware for the TFT28 was uploaded lst month, now version 1.1.1 and it has an option for setting firmware type (Marlin, Repetier, Smoothie).
Feb 24, 2016 11:22 AM - WheresWaldo: Don't know what else is different, don't even know what those setting actually do if anything.
Feb 24, 2016 11:23 AM - donhuevo: wow!
Feb 24, 2016 11:24 AM - donhuevo: more places to change the word extruct I suspect
Feb 24, 2016 11:24 AM - WheresWaldo: Somebody else also made some icons, they actually have a github page https://github.com/majurca/MKS-TFT28-NEW-PICTURES
Feb 24, 2016 11:25 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah, I haven't even started on that yet.
Feb 24, 2016 11:27 AM - donhuevo: I think I'm going to want to buy a 2nd for the new printer
Feb 24, 2016 11:29 AM - WheresWaldo: When I get a chance to hex edit the 'Extruct's out I'll let you know.
Feb 24, 2016 11:30 AM - WheresWaldo: Might as well go for the 3.2" screen.
Feb 24, 2016 11:32 AM - donhuevo: that's what I'm thinking. Get the new one
Feb 24, 2016 11:53 AM - NFOsec: Schlomo: Even with a million dollar idea, you have to sweat blood and shed tears to maintain that style of life, you're not tired of working 9-5, you're just tired of working for someone else.
Feb 24, 2016 11:55 AM - jbigler1986: Don how is the new printer going
Feb 24, 2016 11:56 AM - donhuevo: it's down to wiring now. Maybe this weekend
Feb 24, 2016 11:57 AM - daniel871: Most people aren't really tired of working, they're just tired of the financial stress that comes with not making enough money to live comfortably while working said job.
Feb 24, 2016 11:59 AM - daniel871: Like, I would literally spend my days shoveling shit into a furnace if I could do that job while also making enough money to keep bills paid, have enough savings set aside for emergencies and to have a few nice things to play with in my leisure time.
Feb 24, 2016 12:00 PM - daniel871: Hopefully I'll get the CES R1+Plus running this weekend.
Feb 24, 2016 12:00 PM - daniel871: Kind of hard to work up the enthusiasm to work on it when the budget/knockoff printer I have is working just fine though.
Feb 24, 2016 12:13 PM - danzca6: want a UM2+? https://www.3dhubs.com/talk/thread/star-wars-3d-design-and-print-competition
Feb 24, 2016 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: so if money/complexity was no option and you wanted the best dual extrusion system you could get, would you go with: 2 on one carriage, 2 X carriages, 1 carriage with tool change
Feb 24, 2016 12:24 PM - Captain McGillacutty: awesome dan
Feb 24, 2016 12:26 PM - jbigler1986: Whichever would be the fastest with the best quality is what I would choose MK
Feb 24, 2016 12:26 PM - donhuevo: and most reliable
Feb 24, 2016 12:26 PM - donhuevo: mmmkay?
Feb 24, 2016 12:26 PM - jbigler1986: And that
Feb 24, 2016 12:26 PM - jbigler1986: Not sure which way would be the way to go
Feb 24, 2016 12:27 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 24, 2016 12:27 PM - jbigler1986: I would think they will all have the same leveling issue
Feb 24, 2016 12:27 PM - Mike Kelly: nice non answer
Feb 24, 2016 12:27 PM - donhuevo: two on one carriage guarantees that they would remain a fixed distance apart
Feb 24, 2016 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: That would probably be the best way
Feb 24, 2016 12:28 PM - donhuevo: tool change adds unnecessary weight
Feb 24, 2016 12:28 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i feel like you'll have leveling issues no matter what method you use
Feb 24, 2016 12:28 PM - Mike Kelly: probably best to just stick with 2 on 1
Feb 24, 2016 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: That's my vote
Feb 24, 2016 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: Just build a stronger printer and lighter verbiage and you could still print fast
Feb 24, 2016 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: Carriage*
Feb 24, 2016 12:29 PM - donhuevo: yes, watch your verbiage jb
Feb 24, 2016 12:30 PM - Mike Kelly: all aluminum bracket printer with a titanium carriage
Feb 24, 2016 12:31 PM - jbigler1986: What is the metal desktop made of?
Feb 24, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: a metal desktop would be made of metal
Feb 24, 2016 12:32 PM - jbigler1986: Isn't that what your new job is called
Feb 24, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1252888/#files added single extruder clamp
Feb 24, 2016 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: Desktop Metal. My bad
Feb 24, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i know where you were going just being an ass
Feb 24, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: and that's not something i can say
Feb 24, 2016 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: Nice. Think I may print that just for the heck of it
Feb 24, 2016 12:35 PM - jbigler1986: It's made of aluminum foil and jb weld. I knew it
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - jbigler1986: MK I'm going to print it and sell it ok?
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: the finest MIT could produce
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: ?
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: k
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: schlomo is already using it
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: says it's fine
Feb 24, 2016 12:42 PM - jbigler1986: I fixed my last comment
Feb 24, 2016 12:43 PM - jbigler1986: Going to print it and sell it
Feb 24, 2016 12:44 PM - NFOsec: are you going to come with various girth and lengths?
Feb 24, 2016 12:45 PM - NFOsec: LOL.
Feb 24, 2016 12:45 PM - NFOsec: maybe start a website?
Feb 24, 2016 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: There we go. Or my own ebay store
Feb 24, 2016 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: By the way mediation was a worthless $500. Got nothing solved
Feb 24, 2016 12:47 PM - NFOsec: I don't think it will muster eBay's acceptable use policy though.
Feb 24, 2016 12:47 PM - NFOsec: pay me $500 and I'll solve the problems.
Feb 24, 2016 12:47 PM - jbigler1986: Apparently she hasn't been paying her attorney at all. So they kept requesting attorney fees and I refused
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - daniel871: What was the $500 then?
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - NFOsec: you know that's the angle they would play.
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - daniel871: Also, apparently this happened: http://i.imgur.com/UTLttnx.gifv
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: Not smart in their part. Now the Guardian is going to her full report
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - NFOsec: they would hope to hit YOU with the fees.
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: So she should lose custody
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - daniel871: I told you mediation was worthless a while back.
Feb 24, 2016 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: And may
Feb 24, 2016 12:49 PM - Captain McGillacutty: best man meditation, cold beer
Feb 24, 2016 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: Lmao daniel. That's funny
Feb 24, 2016 12:50 PM - NFOsec: best ex woman mediation -- another cold hearted b like her.
Feb 24, 2016 12:50 PM - Captain McGillacutty: then mediate
Feb 24, 2016 12:50 PM - daniel871: I wish I had video with actual audio.
Feb 24, 2016 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: The first comment is perfect too
Feb 24, 2016 12:50 PM - NFOsec: clikc on the u-toob link.
Feb 24, 2016 12:53 PM - NFOsec: to the Captain's point:
Feb 24, 2016 12:54 PM - daniel871:
Feb 24, 2016 12:55 PM - NFOsec: sux about the shootout in Bailey CO.
Feb 24, 2016 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: damn
Feb 24, 2016 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: thanks for the gift nfo, you didn't have to do that
Feb 24, 2016 12:56 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/rDiVe2z.gifv
Feb 24, 2016 12:57 PM - NFOsec: LOL. That's a Pom right?
Feb 24, 2016 12:57 PM - NFOsec: cute.
Feb 24, 2016 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i think so
Feb 24, 2016 12:57 PM - NFOsec: what gift, do what?
Feb 24, 2016 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: can't tell
Feb 24, 2016 12:58 PM - NFOsec: precisely. so don't know anything about nothing.
Feb 24, 2016 12:58 PM - NFOsec: I look forward to something in the next 60-90 days via International Freight
Feb 24, 2016 1:00 PM - NFOsec: it will come in the form of a 4-6 oz padded envelop whereas the contents will be less than 1/3rd the total weight of the actual padding itself.
Feb 24, 2016 1:00 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 24, 2016 1:00 PM - NFOsec: with luck, the contents will be destroyed when they are dropped by the mail carrier and trampled upon by the Bull Mastiff in the area.
Feb 24, 2016 1:01 PM - JeffTheMess: http://www.olo3d.net/
Feb 24, 2016 1:02 PM - NFOsec: I'd buy anything that prints a furry pug.
Feb 24, 2016 1:02 PM - daniel871: I see so many smartphones being ruined by that, Jeff.
Feb 24, 2016 1:03 PM - Mike Kelly: jeff i suppose that concept makes sense would like to see an actual prototype
Feb 24, 2016 1:03 PM - Mike Kelly: buy a cheap smartphone then

 

Feb 24, 2016 1:03 PM - daniel871: Also dude at 0:50 is stoned out of his f-ing mind.
Feb 24, 2016 1:03 PM - JeffTheMess: I think it laughable
Feb 24, 2016 1:03 PM - daniel871: In the video on that page.
Feb 24, 2016 1:04 PM - NFOsec: well, the fact is it's a smartphone sized dip printer, and probably controlled by blutooth or dentures.
Feb 24, 2016 1:04 PM - NFOsec: daniel: they are all stoned.
Feb 24, 2016 1:04 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm sure they had to be to come up with that idea
Feb 24, 2016 1:04 PM - JeffTheMess: there are projectors at 800 lumens have trouble doing it an iphone is like at what 10 lumens
Feb 24, 2016 1:05 PM - NFOsec: well, look at the mini DLPs that Brookstone sells.
Feb 24, 2016 1:05 PM - jbigler1986: IPhone sucks
Feb 24, 2016 1:06 PM - NFOsec: it's possible if you totally surround the environment by black (cap it, print it, uncap)
Feb 24, 2016 1:06 PM - NFOsec: uPhone sucks?
Feb 24, 2016 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: Love my phone
Feb 24, 2016 1:06 PM - JeffTheMess: LED dont do black well
Feb 24, 2016 1:06 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i wouldn't touch that project with someone elses money
Feb 24, 2016 1:07 PM - jbigler1986: Well you did buy a Tiko so.......
Feb 24, 2016 1:07 PM - JeffTheMess: lol
Feb 24, 2016 1:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i invented that bitch, get it right
Feb 24, 2016 1:08 PM - jbigler1986: The Tiko’s will arrive here by the end of next week, and we’ll spend the next ~2 weeks assembling them and preparing the test rig. It sounds like a piece of cake at first, but when combined, this many Tiko’s will consume enough power that we may have to alter the building’s electrical system, and no one yet knows what will happen when we try to connect 100 WiFi devices to a single router. Plus, we have to develop a rigorous and scientific test pl
Feb 24, 2016 1:09 PM - jbigler1986: Lmao. 2 weeks to assemble 100 printers? And how many did they well?
Feb 24, 2016 1:09 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm, a lot
Feb 24, 2016 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: i cannot wait to see what a broken POS that thing is going to be
Feb 24, 2016 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: 16k backers?
Feb 24, 2016 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: they're going to hand assemble 16k printers
Feb 24, 2016 1:10 PM - jbigler1986: 100 tikos you will not have to alter the buildings power. Wtf is wrong with them
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Captain McGillacutty: anyone have r1+ firmware
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - NFOsec: we all "do".
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - NFOsec: <raises hand>
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - NFOsec: R1++plus+ running here.
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Captain McGillacutty: i need a copy
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: Haha
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly: they are trying to make up excuses for why their printer is going to be a year late
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - NFOsec: It's available on the website.
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Captain McGillacutty: the website says contact support
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - NFOsec: robo3d.com
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Captain McGillacutty: ...
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: I have the R2 firmware
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly: they're dumb
Feb 24, 2016 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly: it's the Lead Screw Firmware upgrade
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - Mike Kelly: they're just trying to confuse people who don't know better
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - Captain McGillacutty: cool thanks
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - Mike Kelly: since some users just want to upgrade for no reason
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - Mike Kelly: making it confusing for legitimate upgrades like LCD's
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - NFOsec: http://guide.robo3d.com/c/Firmware
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - Mike Kelly: but robo doesn't understand what "open source" means
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: I do want to try the mesh leveling though
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - NFOsec: yeah, but it sure makes it look pretty.
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - Mike Kelly: or why someone would want to do upgrades
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - NFOsec: what is mesh leveling?
Feb 24, 2016 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: Have you tried it with the IR mike
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: only on the BB
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - NFOsec: why not use the Claymore sweep method?
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: it's super
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: What do I need to change?
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - Captain McGillacutty: that is dumb, you think they would say that.
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: i tried to convince them to change the wording
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - NFOsec: I don't have leveling problems, but it sounds like an upgrade users just want to upgrade for no reason?
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: but they get annoyed when people upgrade and mess up their printers
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: Also can you add an IR mount to the modular carriage
Feb 24, 2016 1:13 PM - Mike Kelly: happens a lot though so i can't blame them
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - NFOsec: well, they have tewo choices, the people or the Chinese..
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - Captain McGillacutty: its not theirs after you buy it
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - NFOsec: SOMEONE has to muck it up.
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - NFOsec: Captain: every little device made is one of their children.
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: NFO, so traditional autoleveling probes the 9 points then creates a flat plane to print off of based on those
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - NFOsec: right.
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: with mesh, you home
Feb 24, 2016 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: then there's a "bed leveling" script option from the LCD
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: you do paper leveling with those 9 points (or more if you define more)
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - Captain McGillacutty: then they should be concerned more about QA
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: captain, you're crying to deaf ears
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - Captain McGillacutty: or give better tech answers than IDK
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - NFOsec: MK: how would he know I'm deaf?
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - NFOsec: LOL.
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - NFOsec: well, I give them credit to try.
Feb 24, 2016 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: so once you do the 9 points with the LCD, store the values
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: then you shouldn't need to rerun the bed leveling script
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Captain McGillacutty: I would too if they did
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: and it can account for warps in the bed
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Captain McGillacutty: if it wasnt for the forum there would be much grief
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - NFOsec: how about cracked beds like Daniel's?
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: someone did a 49 point calibration and was able to account for a bulge in the center
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: MK. IR mount for modular por favor and gracias
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: and then you don't need offset
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm jb i don't have one
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - NFOsec: Captain: The forum is the primary source of grief for me.
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - NFOsec: interesting.
Feb 24, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: my only modular design was for the chimera/cyclops
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - Mike Kelly: Captain, you could argue me and a couple other members kept robo from dying before they could afford tech support
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - NFOsec: so what is it using for standard probing? the nozzle or have you tossed the IR?
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: What's the one you just put the single player for?
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: Damnt. Plate*
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - Mike Kelly: the nozzle is just fine, as long as you have a variable height option
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - Captain McGillacutty: lol
Feb 24, 2016 1:17 PM - Mike Kelly: so you can go below 0 that is
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - Captain McGillacutty: you have been a key to my research
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: there's like 3 convos happening at once lol having a hard time following
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - Captain McGillacutty: actually following your e3d now
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: my theory is the more information you put out there the more things people can learn from and then people can teach others
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - NFOsec: MK: that's cool.

 

Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - NFOsec: yeah, then, let those people become your minions.
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's actually really nice
Feb 24, 2016 1:18 PM - Captain McGillacutty: thats why i am glad i got the robo
Feb 24, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: no more M565 or G29 nonsense
Feb 24, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah the robo is perfectly adequate
Feb 24, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: lately though i like the wanhoes more
Feb 24, 2016 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: So can't put the IR mount on the v2 carriage? Is that what you are saying
Feb 24, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: def a strong aversion to assembly though so i get that
Feb 24, 2016 1:20 PM - Mike Kelly: JB i could but never have needed to
Feb 24, 2016 1:20 PM - Mike Kelly: so i don't have one right now
Feb 24, 2016 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: Well I could use one
Feb 24, 2016 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: I would use it if I could
Feb 24, 2016 1:20 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Feb 24, 2016 1:21 PM - Mike Kelly: tell you what, you hire some people to get my house cleaned for photographs and I'll make you that mount
Feb 24, 2016 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: Don't feel like super gluing it
Feb 24, 2016 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: There are plenty of homeless people in denver
Feb 24, 2016 1:21 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 24, 2016 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: That will do it for next to nothing
Feb 24, 2016 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: I wouldn't want them in my house though
Feb 24, 2016 1:22 PM - NFOsec: yeah, basically because of the Casinos I suppose.
Feb 24, 2016 1:22 PM - Mike Kelly: they wouldn't leave
Feb 24, 2016 1:22 PM - NFOsec: or are they called residents who refuse to pay property taxes?
Feb 24, 2016 1:22 PM - NFOsec: so they have stand-out protests out on the streets 24/7.
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - jbigler1986: Not sure why there are so many homeless there honestly
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - NFOsec: homelessness is a terrible thing, but some really want it.
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - Mike Kelly: man me neither
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - Mike Kelly: there's been a lot of pot bums move here
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - Mike Kelly: but we had a homeless problem even before that
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - NFOsec: those were citizens.
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess we have a lot of people that support mendicants
Feb 24, 2016 1:23 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. Plenty of help for people that truly need it
Feb 24, 2016 1:24 PM - NFOsec: some, went on a vacation to ski, forgot where they were and never left?
Feb 24, 2016 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Feb 24, 2016 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: one guy would stay at the marriot every night but never shower so he could get enough handouts
Feb 24, 2016 1:24 PM - NFOsec: perhaps the Milk Carton people should scour the area for missing persons.
Feb 24, 2016 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: NFO na those are ski bums, plenty of them up in the mountain towns
Feb 24, 2016 1:25 PM - jbigler1986: I gave a bum like 200 boxes of girl scout cookies. He didn't know what to do. He said he was going to share them. Probably sold them
Feb 24, 2016 1:25 PM - Mike Kelly: eh he probably did share
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: Hopefully
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - Mike Kelly: their community is very strong actually
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - NFOsec: I bet he went into character too..
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - Mike Kelly: and not all bums are mendicants
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - NFOsec: should've shaved the mustache and beard though.
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: I had a trunk full of them. Got them from the Army
Feb 24, 2016 1:26 PM - Mike Kelly: ah
Feb 24, 2016 1:27 PM - jbigler1986: So I was just giving them out
Feb 24, 2016 1:27 PM - NFOsec: jb: MRE GS cookies from 1967 are long past the expiration date you know.
Feb 24, 2016 1:28 PM - Mike Kelly: facebook friend came across someone asking for food on their sign, she offered him a bag of cashews "thanks I already have a thing of peanuts, you got any money though?"
Feb 24, 2016 1:28 PM - Mike Kelly: asshole
Feb 24, 2016 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Haha. We had like 100 pallets of cookies delivered to our unit
Feb 24, 2016 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: That is shitty
Feb 24, 2016 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: All of the homeless vets pisses me off
Feb 24, 2016 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: If they are truly a vet the VA will gladly help them
Feb 24, 2016 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: MK let me know if you ever add the IR. I will give the carriage a try. Never actually used it
Feb 24, 2016 1:31 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'll see if i have time for that
Feb 24, 2016 1:31 PM - Mike Kelly: too much to do and too little time to do it
Feb 24, 2016 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: Feel like playing a video game. What should I play
Feb 24, 2016 1:32 PM - Mike Kelly: i've been addicted to rocket league lately
Feb 24, 2016 1:32 PM - NFOsec: Do you know the Hong Kong Dong Bong Song?
Feb 24, 2016 1:32 PM - NFOsec: Yeah COD fan here...
Feb 24, 2016 1:33 PM - NFOsec: sometimes I fire the thing up just to throw a few grenades at people (friendly or not) and exit.
Feb 24, 2016 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: Not a cod fan
Feb 24, 2016 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: It's OK every one in a while
Feb 24, 2016 1:37 PM - Mike Kelly: ok seriously, my address is not that complicated yet people come up with the strangest mistakes
Feb 24, 2016 1:37 PM - Mike Kelly: Zima was a fun one
Feb 24, 2016 1:38 PM - Mike Kelly: CoD is fun for a bit but if I'm gonna play a war sim i'd do BF4
Feb 24, 2016 1:41 PM - NFOsec: yeah, no doubt.
Feb 24, 2016 1:46 PM - NFOsec: so, MK, prime has perks. tracking shows delivery Friday.

Feb 24, 2016 1:51 PM - Mike Kelly: my PVA thanks you
Feb 24, 2016 1:54 PM - NFOsec: fun. Glass and I both ordered Ampimeters (sp?)., He already got his, I get mine Friday so we can measure the mA output from the lasers.
Feb 24, 2016 1:55 PM - NFOsec: I almost thought the Robo was going to become a new Disco ball by the 4-corner mirrors I drop in place to look at the part in print.
Feb 24, 2016 1:55 PM - NFOsec: LOL
Feb 24, 2016 1:56 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
Feb 24, 2016 1:56 PM - Mike Kelly: MG seems to have disappeared lately
Feb 24, 2016 2:00 PM - Mike Kelly: classy
Feb 24, 2016 2:00 PM - NFOsec: No, MG has been ultra busy, but we chat every day via Skype.
Feb 24, 2016 2:01 PM - NFOsec: I'll tell him you hate him for you.
Feb 24, 2016 2:01 PM - NFOsec: lol. passed on the word.
Feb 24, 2016 2:01 PM - NFOsec: I had one delivered once in a hard-bound leather book and it was folded. un freaking real.
Feb 24, 2016 2:02 PM - jbigler1986: Taking it to the door is way to much work
Feb 24, 2016 2:03 PM - NFOsec: mine is literally 2 feet away from the door and the package drop area, yet they still couldn't do it right.
Feb 24, 2016 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i figure
Feb 24, 2016 2:09 PM - Mike Kelly: he's a busy guy

Feb 24, 2016 2:35 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 24, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: what's getting old is people saying "oh i know all these people, let me get in touch with them for you and i'll send you their info"
Feb 24, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: and that's the last time they think about it
Feb 24, 2016 2:37 PM - Mike Kelly: really need to figure out where i'm going to live if we can't get a house bought
Feb 24, 2016 2:37 PM - Mike Glass: yep out site, out of mind
Feb 24, 2016 2:39 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm crud i gotta get my dog to her appt
Feb 24, 2016 2:40 PM - NFOsec: terrible way to talk about your lady.
Feb 24, 2016 2:41 PM - Mike Glass: go back to sleep NFO
Feb 24, 2016 2:44 PM - NFOsec: why would I do that?
Feb 24, 2016 2:44 PM - NFOsec: I just cooked dinner, dropped it into the oven, and now get to wait 1 hour and 18 minutes to eat.
Feb 24, 2016 2:44 PM - Mike Glass: Your not doing anything else
Feb 24, 2016 2:45 PM - NFOsec: well, let's see, I was able to balance the budget in the county I live in (just blow it all on bike paths), save a stray animal found in my yard (chased it away with a broom and air horn), and saved 15% or more on my insurance by switching companies.
Feb 24, 2016 2:46 PM - NFOsec: did dinner, wrapped up with work, etc. how about you? SLACKER!
Feb 24, 2016 2:46 PM - Mike Glass: Still on Gov time
Feb 24, 2016 2:46 PM - NFOsec: oh, woe me Mr. "I had to pull a server out of a rack" Glass.
Feb 24, 2016 2:47 PM - NFOsec: considering they're going to be holding my social security for ransom, I think we're all kind of on gov times.
Feb 24, 2016 2:48 PM - Mike Glass: Not if you retire soon.
Feb 24, 2016 2:48 PM - NFOsec: or was it borrowed time? I don't remember anymore.
Feb 24, 2016 2:55 PM - NFOsec: The only way I'm going to retire is to have a fan shroud to print my million dollar flop invention.
Feb 24, 2016 2:58 PM - Schlomo: Oooooooh my Bondtech shipped
Feb 24, 2016 3:03 PM - NFOsec: Bondtech or Bondtech QR?
Feb 24, 2016 3:03 PM - NFOsec: either way, you'll enjoy both.
Feb 24, 2016 3:03 PM - NFOsec: Martin is cool.
Feb 24, 2016 3:08 PM - Mike Glass: flip-flop
Feb 24, 2016 3:13 PM - NFOsec: what about you Glass, take the plunge yet?
Feb 24, 2016 3:14 PM - NFOsec: I mean, you would probably be better off wrapping yours with Kapton Tape, securing that with PEI, then sticking it in a foam box for safe keeping.
Feb 24, 2016 3:19 PM - Schlomo: QR
Feb 24, 2016 3:20 PM - Schlomo: sorry, had to go help 2 people who got stuck in our parking lot here at my apartment LOL!
Feb 24, 2016 3:20 PM - Schlomo: I figure since i'll most likely not get stuck in the snow i might as well help people who do
Feb 24, 2016 3:21 PM - Schlomo: we have already gotten about 8" of wet snow since this morning, plow hasn't come yet
Feb 24, 2016 3:22 PM - NFOsec: that's such a shame.
Feb 24, 2016 3:22 PM - NFOsec: no snow here, but enough wind to make a neighboring city's skyscrapers fall on this town.
Feb 24, 2016 3:22 PM - NFOsec: The QR is awesome, the Bontech 2 is great as well.
Feb 24, 2016 3:22 PM - Schlomo: Yep, michigan is a fickle bitch
Feb 24, 2016 3:22 PM - NFOsec: Wisconsin here. so I know.
Feb 24, 2016 3:23 PM - NFOsec: we get the Denver and Montana weather. LOL.
Feb 24, 2016 3:24 PM - NFOsec: Ever since getting the Bondtech 2 in October and the QR last fall I've been fault-free on filament feeds and have used flex, semi, nylon, bridge, pla, aluminum, petg and t-glase with no problems.
Feb 24, 2016 3:24 PM - NFOsec: Greg's wade is great and all, but the capability extends tremendously with this.
Feb 24, 2016 3:25 PM - Schlomo: yeah i've been using a Herc bowden setup
Feb 24, 2016 3:25 PM - Schlomo: non geared stepper
Feb 24, 2016 3:25 PM - Schlomo: cant keep up with my Volcano
Feb 24, 2016 4:02 PM - daniel871: Is there a Bondtech mount for an i3?
Feb 24, 2016 4:03 PM - daniel871: Direct drive?
Feb 24, 2016 4:27 PM - jbigler1986: Get to designing
Feb 24, 2016 6:10 PM - NFOsec: There is a bondtech mount for anything that moves.
Feb 24, 2016 6:27 PM - Schlomo: printing my mount now.
Feb 24, 2016 6:27 PM - Schlomo: http://schlomorific.ddns.net:8080/stream_simple.html

 

Feb 25, 2016 5:20 AM - JeffTheMess: morning robonauts
Feb 25, 2016 5:21 AM - JeffTheMess: Schlomo you should try a down angled view
Feb 25, 2016 6:04 AM - Schlomo: Yeah, thats how I had it originally but i was having issues with bed adhesion and this view allowd me to see the bottom better
Feb 25, 2016 6:04 AM - Schlomo: it'll get moved when I re-create my enclosure for the RoboBeast
Feb 25, 2016 6:04 AM - Schlomo: all 4 risers are done!
Feb 25, 2016 6:05 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning

Feb 25, 2016 7:44 AM - Mike Kelly: when it gets up off it's "hands" it's super creepy
Feb 25, 2016 7:46 AM - JeffTheMess: works well though
Feb 25, 2016 7:48 AM - Mike Kelly: very
Feb 25, 2016 7:48 AM - Mike Kelly: when robots revolt, they will use hockey sticks
Feb 25, 2016 7:49 AM - JeffTheMess: lol tell that to the tin foil hat people
Feb 25, 2016 7:57 AM - Mike Glass: lol funny if the robot kung foo'd his ass.
Feb 25, 2016 7:59 AM - JeffTheMess: "Dont touch my box!"
Feb 25, 2016 7:59 AM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 25, 2016 8:00 AM - Schlomo: i watched that and was wondering when those guys would teach Atlas what frustration is
Feb 25, 2016 8:00 AM - Schlomo: and it just wops the guy with its plunger hands
Feb 25, 2016 8:00 AM - Mike Glass: I like spot.
Feb 25, 2016 8:01 AM - Mike Glass: these are pretty effing cool too.
Feb 25, 2016 8:01 AM - Mike Kelly: you know i sit at my desk wearing safety glasses too
Feb 25, 2016 8:03 AM - Mike Kelly: big dog looks like an old boiler
Feb 25, 2016 8:03 AM - Mike Kelly: compared to spot
Feb 25, 2016 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: yea, and he runs on gas, spot runs on battery.
Feb 25, 2016 8:05 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 25, 2016 8:24 AM - toymaker:
Feb 25, 2016 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: 42 minutes late on that toy
Feb 25, 2016 8:28 AM - toymaker: is it too late to start work on my phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?
Feb 25, 2016 8:35 AM - JeffTheMess: Never too late for that toy
Feb 25, 2016 8:56 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/114086982232006265269/posts/PnUFpHVgy3c?cfem=1 bondtech users
Feb 25, 2016 8:57 AM - Schlomo: link wont work for me
Feb 25, 2016 8:57 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's for bondtech users
Feb 25, 2016 8:57 AM - Mike Kelly: so request to join and you can see once martin adds you
Feb 25, 2016 8:58 AM - Schlomo: theres no where for me to reqeust
Feb 25, 2016 9:00 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/communities/110676810383115959282
Feb 25, 2016 9:00 AM - Schlomo: says i need an invitation and cannot request to join lol
Feb 25, 2016 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: oh
Feb 25, 2016 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: send a message to martin
Feb 25, 2016 9:03 AM - Schlomo: whats his name on here?
Feb 25, 2016 9:05 AM - Mike Kelly: just email him, order@bondtech.se
Feb 25, 2016 9:05 AM - Mike Kelly: i think his username on here is Bondtech
Feb 25, 2016 9:09 AM - Schlomo: k
Feb 25, 2016 9:20 AM - JeffTheMess: wait Bondtech made it private? why
Feb 25, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: because he talks about stuff that only people who own them are allowed to be privy of
Feb 25, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: like when he announced the QR, etc
Feb 25, 2016 9:34 AM - JeffTheMess: ah makes sense
Feb 25, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: that way he can sell out old stock without people knowing about something new coming, and current users can start beta testing and shit
Feb 25, 2016 9:36 AM - Schlomo: wait is something new coming out?
Feb 25, 2016 9:36 AM - Schlomo:
Feb 25, 2016 9:37 AM - Schlomo: i'll return my QR
Feb 25, 2016 9:37 AM - Schlomo: na thats a lie, im too excited for it
Feb 25, 2016 9:40 AM - Mike Glass: QR I thought was the new one.
Feb 25, 2016 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: i was referencing the transition from the V2 to the QR
Feb 25, 2016 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: V2 users knew about the QR before he made it public
Feb 25, 2016 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: or his direct drive version, etc
Feb 25, 2016 9:45 AM - Mike Glass: ah gotcha
Feb 25, 2016 9:46 AM - Mike Glass: I may install the one I got this weekend
Feb 25, 2016 9:47 AM - Mike Glass: though I need to change the design on my new carriage to fit the ir sensor
Feb 25, 2016 9:52 AM - JeffTheMess: I guess I'll get my inside scoop from you Mike
Feb 25, 2016 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: i charge 10 dollars for the first minute and 1 dollar for each additional minute
Feb 25, 2016 9:56 AM - Schlomo: Cheaper than a hooker at least
Feb 25, 2016 9:56 AM - Mike Kelly: depends on the hooker
Feb 25, 2016 9:56 AM - JeffTheMess: says who!?
Feb 25, 2016 9:57 AM - Schlomo: jokes on the hooker though, i only need a minute
Feb 25, 2016 9:59 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Feb 25, 2016 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: your poor wife
Feb 25, 2016 10:01 AM - Schlomo: haha
Feb 25, 2016 10:01 AM - Schlomo: you guys seen this DRL stuff? Drone Racing?
Feb 25, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: i didnt know this was a thing
Feb 25, 2016 10:02 AM - Schlomo: like with announcers and stuff
Feb 25, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's super cool
Feb 25, 2016 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i would so go to an event for that
Feb 25, 2016 10:04 AM - Mike Glass: I would bring my hawk with me
Feb 25, 2016 10:04 AM - Schlomo: lol i love watching the little drones get destroyed by those gates
Feb 25, 2016 10:05 AM - Mike Kelly: same reason people watch nascar
Feb 25, 2016 10:06 AM - Mike Glass: Left turn, Left turn, Left turn.
Feb 25, 2016 10:06 AM - Mike Kelly: *CRASH* *crowd wakes up from their slumber*
Feb 25, 2016 10:06 AM - Mike Kelly: "WOOO"
Feb 25, 2016 10:06 AM - Mike Kelly: *drinks bud, falls back asleep*
Feb 25, 2016 10:11 AM - Schlomo: yep
Feb 25, 2016 10:49 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: What is up guys?!
Feb 25, 2016 10:49 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hows everyone doin
Feb 25, 2016 10:55 AM - Schlomo: Good how are you?
Feb 25, 2016 10:56 AM - Quest: doing good here
Feb 25, 2016 10:56 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Good good, in the office with the team
Feb 25, 2016 10:57 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: working on finalizing this R2mini and R2
Feb 25, 2016 10:57 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I think everyone is going to be ecstatic when we finally release them

 

Feb 25, 2016 10:57 AM - Quest: sweet
Feb 25, 2016 10:58 AM - Schlomo: Want to ship one of those bad boys to me for a beta test? the R2
Feb 25, 2016 11:00 AM - Schlomo: Or the mini, you know i wont be picky
Feb 25, 2016 11:01 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Feb 25, 2016 11:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haha
Feb 25, 2016 11:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: would love to for a discount!
Feb 25, 2016 11:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: We may do a small beta test group
Feb 25, 2016 11:06 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: will let you guys know
Feb 25, 2016 11:08 AM - JeffTheMess: would be fun
Feb 25, 2016 11:10 AM - Schlomo: whats the discount? 100%? lol. I think my wife would kill me if i bought another 3d pritner
Feb 25, 2016 11:10 AM - Schlomo: my Robo did successfully reproduce, though.
Feb 25, 2016 11:11 AM - Mike Kelly: who's this guy?!
Feb 25, 2016 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haven't decided on the discount yet
Feb 25, 2016 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: will let you know for sure tho
Feb 25, 2016 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and hopefully wifey will approve
Feb 25, 2016 11:15 AM - Schlomo: Does the r2 allow for dual v6's easily?
Feb 25, 2016 11:16 AM - Schlomo: the heatsinks look pretty close together
Feb 25, 2016 11:16 AM - Schlomo: with the Hex's
Feb 25, 2016 11:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: We will have to check the dimensions on them
Feb 25, 2016 11:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: not entirely sure
Feb 25, 2016 11:23 AM - Schlomo: Where is Robo located?
Feb 25, 2016 11:23 AM - Schlomo: In the US, that is.
Feb 25, 2016 11:24 AM - JeffTheMess: cali
Feb 25, 2016 11:25 AM - Schlomo: Ah gotcha
Feb 25, 2016 11:29 AM - daniel871: I would think it would be easier to install a chimera on the R2 than dual v6 hotends, honestly.
Feb 25, 2016 11:29 AM - Schlomo: thats what I was thinking
Feb 25, 2016 11:29 AM - daniel871: Or maybe go for the Cyclops and just have a good Prime Pillar setup in your S3D profile.
Feb 25, 2016 11:31 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: san diego california
Feb 25, 2016 11:31 AM - Schlomo: Gotcha
Feb 25, 2016 11:32 AM - Schlomo: Well, when i complete my "Robo Beast" inspired actively heated chamber, Volcano extruding Robo 3d monster, ill put some pics up
Feb 25, 2016 11:32 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes please!
Feb 25, 2016 11:32 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we'd love to share
Feb 25, 2016 11:32 AM - Schlomo: Awesome
Feb 25, 2016 11:33 AM - daniel871: Hey Schlomo, did you follow any particular guide when setting up your streaming camera or was it a mix of a few different setup guides?
Feb 25, 2016 11:33 AM - Schlomo: http://schlomorific.ddns.net:8080/stream_simple.html
Feb 25, 2016 11:33 AM - Schlomo: So it was a mix
Feb 25, 2016 11:34 AM - Schlomo: I already had my DDNS setup, so that was easy. So all I really had to do was the Octopi install
Feb 25, 2016 11:34 AM - Schlomo: If you didnt have a DDNS setup, there are a ton of guides around on how to set that up
Feb 25, 2016 11:35 AM - Schlomo: Other than that, just routing the Octopi through the DDNS so its visible outside my network
Feb 25, 2016 11:35 AM - daniel871: I suspect that my home internet service is just too crappy to stream.
Feb 25, 2016 11:35 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: guys have to head to meeting
Feb 25, 2016 11:35 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: always message me if you have any questions
Feb 25, 2016 11:35 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: braydon@robo3d.com
Feb 25, 2016 11:35 AM - Schlomo: Sounds good, Cya.
Feb 25, 2016 11:36 AM - daniel871: Those timelapses I post every now and then take between 20-30 minutes to upload to Youtube.
Feb 25, 2016 11:36 AM - Schlomo: would be nice to have that auto upload from your Pi
Feb 25, 2016 11:36 AM - Schlomo: if thats what you're using
Feb 25, 2016 11:36 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Feb 25, 2016 11:36 AM - Schlomo: you could do it, just need some Linux knowledge
Feb 25, 2016 11:37 AM - Schlomo: they're all rendered into a folder, and im sure there is some type of API or app you can use to automatically upload .mp4 files in a folder to youtube
Feb 25, 2016 11:37 AM - daniel871: That's where I'm out of luck. Last time I played with Linux was back when Mandrake/Red Hat was new, and even then it was just to the extent of "Yeah, have my PC setup to run multiple OSes."
Feb 25, 2016 11:37 AM - Schlomo: might need to shuffle some folders/files around
Feb 25, 2016 11:38 AM - Schlomo: maybe i'll look into it sometime, someone should be able to make an add-on for Octo to do that
Feb 25, 2016 11:40 AM - daniel871: Pretty sure there is an API issue. There is something like that for PC users for their recorded video folders, but it breaks every time Youtube updates something.
Feb 25, 2016 11:41 AM - daniel871: Man I wish it was Friday afternoon. I'd try to get my Schrodinger's Robo to fire up and trace wherever the failure is for the MinTemp error that stays on the LCD.
Feb 25, 2016 11:43 AM - Schlomo: seriously, it feels like friday
Feb 25, 2016 11:43 AM - Schlomo: and my wife wants me to go out with her and some of her co-workers at 4... ugh
Feb 25, 2016 11:45 AM - daniel871: Pick a fight and you won't have to go.
Feb 25, 2016 11:45 AM - Schlomo: Its her last day with that company, a leaving party for her
Feb 25, 2016 11:45 AM - daniel871: "You sure you want to wear those pants? They make you look fat."
Feb 25, 2016 11:45 AM - Schlomo: i dont think i would live that one down very quickly
Feb 25, 2016 11:46 AM - daniel871: "WHAT!"
Feb 25, 2016 11:52 AM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 25, 2016 11:57 AM - Mike Kelly: daniel, king of relationships
Feb 25, 2016 12:03 PM - Schlomo: Ffs i dont want to sit around people i dont know and pretend to act like im interested in what they're asking me
Feb 25, 2016 12:04 PM - Schlomo: This is like going to the dentist
Feb 25, 2016 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: you sound just like me
Feb 25, 2016 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: SO work parties are dreadful
Feb 25, 2016 12:12 PM - daniel871: One plus side to working somewhere that there are no work parties.
Feb 25, 2016 12:13 PM - daniel871: The most they do is cater a meal around the holidays for lunch one day, then send everyone home after said lunch if nothing is scheduled to ship that afternoon.
Feb 25, 2016 12:17 PM - Bill Monroe: happy lunch time
Feb 25, 2016 12:17 PM - Schlomo: Lunch? its 3:15!
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - JeffTheMess: he in cali
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: not in Cali
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - Bill Monroe: not on the best coast
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - JeffTheMess: 3hours difference
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - Bill Monroe: 78 and clear skies.. light breeze
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - Schlomo: i guess you guys didnt sense the sarcasm in my Text
Feb 25, 2016 12:18 PM - Schlomo: Yeah, whats your address? I'll ship you a snowman
Feb 25, 2016 12:19 PM - Bill Monroe: naw, it would slip off of my surfboard
Feb 25, 2016 12:19 PM - Schlomo: we got like 11" or some shit yesterday and today
Feb 25, 2016 12:19 PM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:19 PM - Mike Glass: 55 bright and sunny here, no snow left either. spring is here.
Feb 25, 2016 12:20 PM - Bill Monroe: weve got snow in the mountains 60 miles from here.. slopes are open
Feb 25, 2016 12:20 PM - Bill Monroe: this is the time of year when folks snowboard in the morning, and surf in the afternoon
Feb 25, 2016 12:20 PM - Mike Glass: 20 min away is our ski hill, still going but the valley is dry
Feb 25, 2016 12:21 PM - Schlomo: I need to move
Feb 25, 2016 12:21 PM - Schlomo: thought I do alot of hunting and fishing here in Michigan and I dont have to drive far for any of it.
Feb 25, 2016 12:21 PM - Mike Glass: I hunt out my back yard..lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:21 PM - Bill Monroe: i can hunt in my yard.. if you like coyotes and quail
Feb 25, 2016 12:22 PM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:22 PM - Schlomo: quail are good
Feb 25, 2016 12:22 PM - Bill Monroe: i shoot salt at the coyotes.. .410 at the quail (when 2.0 isnt looking)
Feb 25, 2016 12:23 PM - JeffTheMess: shame on you
Feb 25, 2016 12:23 PM - Mike Glass: your going to hell BM
Feb 25, 2016 12:24 PM - Mike Glass: like you didn't know ..lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:24 PM - Bill Monroe: we get a LOT of feral sheep, but if you shoot those the tree-huggin' mosquito kissin' needel-necked libtards would get you a room with OJ
Feb 25, 2016 12:24 PM - Schlomo: Thats a good way to play "Spot the Vegan"
Feb 25, 2016 12:25 PM - Mike Kelly: hunting without a license is poaching

 

Feb 25, 2016 12:25 PM - Bill Monroe: the problem with quails is ya gotta shoot em in flight to be legal.. and they prefer to run, so I have to send my golden out there to stir them up
Feb 25, 2016 12:25 PM - Mike Glass: only if you get caught
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Mike Kelly: like that idiot who killed 18 deer then gloated about it on facebook
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Mike Kelly: that guy was a real winner in life
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: you get people who kill Elk here in MI
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: worst thing is they just take the head/horns and leave the rest
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Mike Kelly: did you hear about that boulder cop that shot an elk and stuck it in his trunk?
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: nope
Feb 25, 2016 12:26 PM - Bill Monroe: those poor elderly lodge members
Feb 25, 2016 12:27 PM - Mike Kelly: we used to get some roadkill elk on my way to school in golden, they'd be gone within a half hour
Feb 25, 2016 12:27 PM - Mike Kelly: whoa
Feb 25, 2016 12:28 PM - JeffTheMess: i need to see how that is made
Feb 25, 2016 12:28 PM - Mike Kelly: lots and lots of math
Feb 25, 2016 12:30 PM - Mike Glass: watch MTMWOOD, he does amazing work like that.
Feb 25, 2016 12:30 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 25, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: i need to make an endgrain board at some point
Feb 25, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Glass: I would try but dont have a drum sander yet
Feb 25, 2016 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/ASOs5Dk.gif
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm, you could do most of it with a hand sander and a planer though
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Glass: you could but im lazy..lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: truefax
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: ugh should probably get back to work
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Glass: Training?
Feb 25, 2016 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: man i'm so happy my replacement starts on monday
Feb 25, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: nope just in general
Feb 25, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: he is coming in for training at 4 though
Feb 25, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Glass: so sitting around waiting for solidworks..lol
Feb 25, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: basically
Feb 25, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: today we're actually going over the system process
Feb 25, 2016 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: so that'll be better
Feb 25, 2016 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm not sure if i'm working tomorrow afternoon or not
Feb 25, 2016 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: i think i should but we'll see how today goes
Feb 25, 2016 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: my brother is arriving in the AM for the winter classic game
Feb 25, 2016 12:35 PM - Mike Glass: ah cool
Feb 25, 2016 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: does he know that winter is over?
Feb 25, 2016 12:39 PM - Schlomo: Michigan doesnt
Feb 25, 2016 12:43 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah they had to delay the game till the evening to not have the ice melt
Feb 25, 2016 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: March is the snowiest month here though, followed by april
Feb 25, 2016 12:47 PM - Mike Glass: yea we usually get dumped on pretty hard in march too.
Feb 25, 2016 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Feb 25, 2016 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: something about march
Feb 25, 2016 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I haven't made a cutting board in a while
Feb 25, 2016 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe I should
Feb 25, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: Hey JB
Feb 25, 2016 1:20 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.dorkly.com/post/77413/game-dev-gives-brilliant-reply-to-complaints-about-games-price i kinda want to buy this game because of this
Feb 25, 2016 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: Hola MG
Feb 25, 2016 1:23 PM - Mike Glass: whats new dood
Feb 25, 2016 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: Not much really. Except I have been having the little guys a couple times a week. Non supervised
Feb 25, 2016 1:28 PM - Mike Glass: oh thats great. glad you got that worked out.
Feb 25, 2016 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Making a toothbrush hold for email now from zebra wood
Feb 25, 2016 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Wow. Fuck you autocorrect
Feb 25, 2016 1:28 PM - Mike Glass: wtf..lol
Feb 25, 2016 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: Toothbrush holder for them now
Feb 25, 2016 1:29 PM - daniel871: That game developer is a crybaby.
Feb 25, 2016 1:29 PM - daniel871: Not saying the people crying about the price aren't as well, but holy shit.
Feb 25, 2016 1:30 PM - daniel871: Comparing development of an indie game to a Presidential Campaign, give me a f-ing break.
Feb 25, 2016 1:38 PM - daniel871: Has anyone made a practice of using cleaning filament on their printer?
Feb 25, 2016 1:47 PM - daniel871: Like this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Printer-CLEANING-Filament-Makerbot-Printers/dp/B00MVIYNFW
Feb 25, 2016 1:52 PM - Mike Glass: just dont use xt and you wont have too.
Feb 25, 2016 1:54 PM - Captain McGillacutty: just hit 225 mms
Feb 25, 2016 1:54 PM - daniel871: Pics or it didn't happen.
Feb 25, 2016 1:55 PM - Captain McGillacutty: im printing a small piece currently let me get a piece on after this that will give credit
Feb 25, 2016 1:56 PM - daniel871: Also, if you don't have a piece large enough for the printer to reach the speed you set it doesn't matter how high you set it after a certain point.
Feb 25, 2016 1:56 PM - Captain McGillacutty: its large enough, i hit all four lcd printer feet at 200 last night
Feb 25, 2016 1:57 PM - Captain McGillacutty: i need to fix bed rattle now
Feb 25, 2016 1:57 PM - daniel871: Right, but if you look at your acceleration settings you'll see that the printer may not physically have time to reach the speed on any single linear movement.
Feb 25, 2016 1:58 PM - jbigler1986: Hey MK. Got a question for you
Feb 25, 2016 1:59 PM - Mike Kelly: I use that stuff daniel, i like it
Feb 25, 2016 1:59 PM - Mike Kelly: sup jb
Feb 25, 2016 1:59 PM - jbigler1986: Will the dual parts fan that you put the IR mount on work with the v2 carriage
Feb 25, 2016 2:00 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm
Feb 25, 2016 2:00 PM - Mike Kelly: i am not sure if it fits
Feb 25, 2016 2:00 PM - jbigler1986: If it does then you wouldn't need to make a IR mount for it
Feb 25, 2016 2:01 PM - Mike Kelly: it would be tight that's for sure
Feb 25, 2016 2:01 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
Feb 25, 2016 2:01 PM - Mike Kelly: the height would be wrong though
Feb 25, 2016 2:01 PM - jbigler1986: Damnit
Feb 25, 2016 2:04 PM - Mike Glass: Mk will the Bontech feed flex material bowden ok?
Feb 25, 2016 2:04 PM - jbigler1986: Just tried to re-download the fan holder but it's not on the Dropbox anymore
Feb 25, 2016 2:04 PM - Mike Kelly: you need better storage of the stuff i send you
Feb 25, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: MG it does pretty well
Feb 25, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Glass: but not as good as direct though right?
Feb 25, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: JB if you use the kind I made that uses brass fit inserts it's pretty easy to make a mount that fits that
Feb 25, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i mean direct just has less forward pressure than bowden
Feb 25, 2016 2:06 PM - Mike Kelly: so you're less likely for the filament to spit out the sides
Feb 25, 2016 2:07 PM - Mike Glass: ok thanks.
Feb 25, 2016 2:08 PM - jbigler1986: i never downloaded the one after you redid it
Feb 25, 2016 2:08 PM - jbigler1986: the one that is in the conversation with me and NFO
Feb 25, 2016 2:09 PM - Mike Kelly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uh20f475lvscz90/v6 Fan Dual.STL?dl=0
Feb 25, 2016 2:09 PM - Mike Kelly: this is the latest
Feb 25, 2016 2:11 PM - Mike Glass: what size of brass inserts you using
Feb 25, 2016 2:11 PM - Mike Kelly: M3 for a 4mm hole
Feb 25, 2016 2:12 PM - jbigler1986: graciaass
Feb 25, 2016 2:12 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-M3-Brass-Knurl-Insert-Nuts-Metric-Threaded-/281920595612? these are what I have.
Feb 25, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Glass: outside diameter 4.2mm
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: should be perfect then, just melt em in\
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: ok cool
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: this is for a v6 though, i have one that uses press fits for hex
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: I have a hex im going to put on

 

Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: err v6
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: ah
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: w/ your bondtech?
Feb 25, 2016 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: yeah
Feb 25, 2016 2:15 PM - Mike Kelly: sweet
Feb 25, 2016 2:15 PM - Mike Glass: Thanks to NFO
Feb 25, 2016 2:15 PM - Mike Kelly: he convinced you of it's might
Feb 25, 2016 2:16 PM - Mike Glass: haha, he sent me his spare.
Feb 25, 2016 2:16 PM - Mike Glass: very nice of him to do that.
Feb 25, 2016 2:16 PM - Mike Kelly: ah lucky guy
Feb 25, 2016 2:17 PM - Mike Kelly: he's very generous
Feb 25, 2016 2:17 PM - Mike Glass: yes sir
Feb 25, 2016 5:29 PM - jbigler1986: I may have a problem
Feb 25, 2016 5:41 PM - danzca6: hydration is no laughing matter...drink up! haha
Feb 25, 2016 5:47 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I have a few other not in the fridge too
Feb 25, 2016 5:51 PM - Bill Monroe: gents
Feb 25, 2016 6:16 PM - Schlomo: Well I already hit about 10 snags with my Robo Beast build

 

Feb 26, 2016 5:42 AM - Schlomo: Morning Gents
Feb 26, 2016 5:54 AM - daniel871: Want me to guess what some of those snags are?
Feb 26, 2016 7:36 AM - Schlomo: Yes
Feb 26, 2016 7:37 AM - daniel871: Wiring issues, for one.
Feb 26, 2016 7:38 AM - daniel871: And all the fun that goes with tracing all of the wires and keeping them from getting tangled and then running the support sheathing/cable chain (if you go that route), etc.
Feb 26, 2016 7:38 AM - daniel871: Finding out just how hilariously weak the plastic base of the Robo is when all of the supporting bolts/nuts have been removed.
Feb 26, 2016 7:41 AM - daniel871: Finding out that the printed model for the "beast" build may not have printed at the proper size since the guy who did it originally designed it with how his particular Robo extruded the filament he chose to make it out of.
Feb 26, 2016 7:42 AM - daniel871: Also lengthening all of the required wiring that has to go to the X-axis carriage.
Feb 26, 2016 7:42 AM - daniel871: Possibly also discovering a crack somewhere in a molded part when doing the tear-down required to build it back up.
Feb 26, 2016 8:02 AM - JeffTheMess: morning roboneers TGIF
Feb 26, 2016 8:03 AM - Mike Glass: Howdy Jeff
Feb 26, 2016 8:03 AM - JeffTheMess: hows it going mg
Feb 26, 2016 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: well its friday so thats a start
Feb 26, 2016 8:04 AM - JeffTheMess: or the end
Feb 26, 2016 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: 800 projects and only 24 hours in a day.
Feb 26, 2016 8:05 AM - JeffTheMess: lucky you
Feb 26, 2016 8:06 AM - Mike Glass: no not so good, I have no life..lol
Feb 26, 2016 8:06 AM - JeffTheMess: So I did an experiment with my daughter magnifying glass instead of taking apart the dlp projector and I can can focus it better so i just need to take out the filter
Feb 26, 2016 8:07 AM - JeffTheMess: you have a laser you should be happy! lol
Feb 26, 2016 8:08 AM - Mike Glass: yes, the filter, you must disassemble jonny five..
Feb 26, 2016 8:10 AM - JeffTheMess: better just that than the focus
Feb 26, 2016 8:10 AM - JeffTheMess: hows the laser did you see the opensls?
Feb 26, 2016 8:12 AM - Mike Glass: no I did not, Laser is Crazy busy.
Feb 26, 2016 8:12 AM - JeffTheMess: http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160...cutter-into-a-sls-3d-printer-40x-cheaper.html
Feb 26, 2016 8:12 AM - JeffTheMess: for a short 10 grand
Feb 26, 2016 8:17 AM - Mike Glass: cool lets build one.
Feb 26, 2016 8:19 AM - JeffTheMess: maybe a lowkey one with plastic powder?
Feb 26, 2016 8:25 AM - Mike Glass: looks like I could use my existing laser
Feb 26, 2016 8:25 AM - JeffTheMess: then you dont need us
Feb 26, 2016 8:31 AM - Mike Glass: haha
Feb 26, 2016 9:15 AM - toymaker: i need to build another pc for 1200....
Feb 26, 2016 9:16 AM - toymaker: i do love grants =)
Feb 26, 2016 9:21 AM - toymaker: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Preload-Typ...d-THK-LM-BR-/201072046539?hash=item2ed0d3f1cb gonna try to get 2 of these for 1k
Feb 26, 2016 9:27 AM - toymaker: 200 x 16 =3200 / 32mm lead =.01mm resolution; and should help move my 300lb gantry around much easier than r&p
Feb 26, 2016 9:34 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Nothing like dropping a 14 hour print and watching it shatter along the layer lines to make you want to lay in the road.
Feb 26, 2016 9:35 AM - JeffTheMess: the good life
Feb 26, 2016 9:38 AM - Schlomo: bummer dude
Feb 26, 2016 9:38 AM - Schlomo: kinda like dissassembling your whole Robo planning for an upgrade and realizing you dont have the Z axis brackets to fit the couplers you bought
Feb 26, 2016 9:39 AM - Schlomo: and the original bracket with the z axis limit switches wont work
Feb 26, 2016 9:39 AM - Schlomo: good thing I have another printer
Feb 26, 2016 9:46 AM - kevin wilson: So i'm Brand New, with a new plus 1, saw a new user thread started reading first thing it says to do is disable matter control auto leveling. but matter control is now 1.5 and i don't see how, any suggestions?
Feb 26, 2016 9:48 AM - JeffTheMess: first step delete Matter hacker
Feb 26, 2016 9:49 AM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 26, 2016 9:49 AM - JeffTheMess: second step get cura or slic3r
Feb 26, 2016 9:50 AM - kevin wilson: so i noticed that matter can pick either of those slicing options. So even so, go with one of those? I'm pretty good with computers done a little cgi, html. which would you recomend
Feb 26, 2016 9:51 AM - Schlomo: Cura
Feb 26, 2016 9:51 AM - JeffTheMess: cura
Feb 26, 2016 9:51 AM - JeffTheMess: you beat me to it
Feb 26, 2016 9:52 AM - Schlomo: Thats what she said
Feb 26, 2016 9:52 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Feb 26, 2016 9:52 AM - JeffTheMess: don't select cura download it from the website
Feb 26, 2016 9:52 AM - JeffTheMess: https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software
Feb 26, 2016 9:53 AM - JeffTheMess: then follow this

Feb 26, 2016 9:54 AM - kevin wilson: i don't care what your girlfriends say aout you folk your ok in my book
Feb 26, 2016 9:54 AM - kevin wilson:
Feb 26, 2016 9:55 AM - JeffTheMess: my wife says the same lol
Feb 26, 2016 9:58 AM - kevin wilson: lol
Feb 26, 2016 9:58 AM - Schlomo: So does my wife
Feb 26, 2016 9:59 AM - Schlomo: lol
Feb 26, 2016 10:06 AM - daniel871: So do all of your mothers.
Feb 26, 2016 10:07 AM - daniel871: Also the MatterControl selection for Cura/Slic3r are not even close to actually using the software build on those slicing engines.
Feb 26, 2016 10:08 AM - daniel871: In other words, Matter Control is garbage. Ditch it and download the original software it tries to emulate.
Feb 26, 2016 10:08 AM - Schlomo: Oh and daniel, you were right with most of your assumptions
Feb 26, 2016 10:08 AM - Schlomo: only one i haven't run into yet, knock on wood, is a broken mount
Feb 26, 2016 10:09 AM - daniel871: I've been there, except I was setting up dual-extrusion on the original R1 after everything original on it died.
Feb 26, 2016 10:09 AM - daniel871: Figured if I was gutting it and starting over I might as well add that capability.
Feb 26, 2016 10:09 AM - Schlomo: yep
Feb 26, 2016 10:10 AM - Schlomo: my main issue is the lead screws i bought are 2mm pitch
Feb 26, 2016 10:10 AM - Schlomo: so i had to design new Limit switch/lead screw holders for the x axis
Feb 26, 2016 10:10 AM - Schlomo: I think those are called the idlers
Feb 26, 2016 10:10 AM - Schlomo: but, that was the first part i've every modeled and printed successfully
Feb 26, 2016 10:10 AM - Schlomo: so thats a plus
Feb 26, 2016 10:11 AM - Schlomo: everything i've printed up until yesterday was designed from someone else/procured from Thingiverse
Feb 26, 2016 10:11 AM - Mike Glass:
Feb 26, 2016 10:11 AM - Schlomo: i know right?
Feb 26, 2016 10:11 AM - daniel871: I was going to post this in response but it looks like you're fixing it. http://i.imgur.com/10lkUdy.gif
Feb 26, 2016 10:12 AM - JeffTheMess: shameful almost
Feb 26, 2016 10:12 AM - Mike Glass: brave soul
Feb 26, 2016 10:12 AM - Schlomo: its oddly exciting and satisfying, my wife kept shaking her head because of how geeked i was
Feb 26, 2016 10:12 AM - daniel871: You should point out the egg cup sculpture and ask if she wants one next time she does that.
Feb 26, 2016 10:12 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Jeff that sls printer they bought a 80w laser system and replaced it with a 40W..lol
Feb 26, 2016 10:12 AM - Schlomo: I just have 0 experience with CAD
Feb 26, 2016 10:13 AM - Schlomo: Dont worry, Dan. I'll print one 15" tall just for you
Feb 26, 2016 10:14 AM - JeffTheMess: is it getting you excited MG?
Feb 26, 2016 10:15 AM - Schlomo: The egg sculpture?
Feb 26, 2016 10:15 AM - daniel871: Well, that Monoprice isn't getting clogs in the hotend, but it still does that "stripping out at the drive gear" stuff for some of my filaments.
Feb 26, 2016 10:16 AM - daniel871: That SST/PLA I got a long time ago that gave the Hexagon fits on clogs is stripping out really easily.
Feb 26, 2016 10:16 AM - daniel871: This one, Schlomo. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:827266
Feb 26, 2016 10:16 AM - daniel871: NWS, etc., etc.
Feb 26, 2016 10:16 AM - daniel871: The comments are funny for about a minute.
Feb 26, 2016 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: I have the plexi to cut the parts, may be a good project for this year.
Feb 26, 2016 10:18 AM - daniel871:
Feb 26, 2016 10:19 AM - BryZad: Hey all
Feb 26, 2016 10:20 AM - BryZad: Anyone got a good hook up on Pla spools
Feb 26, 2016 10:20 AM - JeffTheMess: MG is gonna be the first of us to print in metal powder
Feb 26, 2016 10:20 AM - Mike Glass: Bry
Feb 26, 2016 10:20 AM - daniel871: WYZ filament on ebay was pretty good when I tried it, BryZad.
Feb 26, 2016 10:20 AM - daniel871: I also hear good things about Foxsmart filament.
Feb 26, 2016 10:21 AM - daniel871: http://thefoxsmart.com/product/pla-filament-2/

 

Feb 26, 2016 10:21 AM - Mike Glass: I have some foxsmart tpu really nice.
Feb 26, 2016 10:21 AM - BryZad: Fox smart is sold out on Amazon
Feb 26, 2016 10:22 AM - AxisLab: they said 1-2 weeks
Feb 26, 2016 10:22 AM - Mike Glass: what isnt right?
Feb 26, 2016 10:23 AM - kevin wilson: so putting cura in, it shows robo 3d r1 as an option, i know i have the plus but i should be able to select that?
Feb 26, 2016 10:23 AM - BryZad: If they get more going to buy 12 + rolls
Feb 26, 2016 10:24 AM - daniel871: Yes, Kevin.
Feb 26, 2016 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: Yeah that is just the bed size no problem
Feb 26, 2016 10:24 AM - daniel871: The slicer side of things doesn't care about the things dictated by firmware settings.
Feb 26, 2016 10:24 AM - kevin wilson: "god i hate new people questins"
Feb 26, 2016 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: We all were at one time
Feb 26, 2016 10:25 AM - daniel871: Just keep your fingers crossed that you ended up with an R1+Plus that isn't broken somewhere out of the box.
Feb 26, 2016 10:25 AM - Mike Glass: haha was your freebie broken daniel?
Feb 26, 2016 10:25 AM - daniel871: Yes.
Feb 26, 2016 10:25 AM - Mike Glass: go figure. geez
Feb 26, 2016 10:25 AM - BryZad: Give me your R1 Daniel and they won't hear about it ;-)
Feb 26, 2016 10:25 AM - kevin wilson: yeah tough to say, as i don't see anything that may be wrong, but hey never know i don't hae xray eyes
Feb 26, 2016 10:26 AM - kevin wilson: it was packed pretty good, two outer boxes, plus the box it came in.
Feb 26, 2016 10:26 AM - JeffTheMess: No way dan!
Feb 26, 2016 10:26 AM - Mike Glass: Hopefully they changed the cast plastic, cause after a year all my cast pieces fell apart.
Feb 26, 2016 10:26 AM - daniel871: The old broken R1? Nah. I'm going to cannibalise it for the R1+.
Feb 26, 2016 10:27 AM - JeffTheMess:
Feb 26, 2016 10:27 AM - BryZad: I need to print 4 more side panels for bb-8 and then the door panels
Feb 26, 2016 10:28 AM - daniel871: Somewhere in the electronics on the R1+ I have it randomly starts up thinking it's 0 degrees on the bed and triggers a MINTEMP ERROR while the hotend says it is clearly whatever the ambient temp is at the time.
Feb 26, 2016 10:28 AM - BryZad: Gee I am going to need a butload of white filament :/
Feb 26, 2016 10:28 AM - JeffTheMess: its worth it
Feb 26, 2016 10:28 AM - daniel871: So this evening I'm going to trace the bed wires looking for breaks and try to decide how to fix it.
Feb 26, 2016 10:29 AM - Mike Glass: Sledge will do.
Feb 26, 2016 10:30 AM - BryZad: What's worth it Jeff
Feb 26, 2016 10:30 AM - JeffTheMess: for your bb8
Feb 26, 2016 10:33 AM - daniel871: Is it actually going to be a replica that moves around/does stuff or is it essentially a plastic statue?
Feb 26, 2016 10:35 AM - BryZad: Yea lol he should be rolling in the next month
Feb 26, 2016 10:36 AM - BryZad: No he will be roll around with animated panels that open and a magnetic head assy
Feb 26, 2016 10:36 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Feb 26, 2016 10:37 AM - BryZad: Hey do you guys know a good supplier for like heat set bolt receiver
Feb 26, 2016 10:37 AM - BryZad: Kinda like plastic wall anchor s
Feb 26, 2016 10:39 AM - BryZad: Hopefully brass cause it's non magnetic
Feb 26, 2016 10:51 AM - kevin wilson: so in Cura, should I start the Gcode Start option with this G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm G28 ; home all axes M565 Z-1.1; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism G29 ; run auto-level M300 S440 P200 ;A4: 440 G0 Z5
Feb 26, 2016 10:55 AM - Mike Glass: I have some I got from ebay bry
Feb 26, 2016 10:56 AM - daniel871: Kevin: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/how-to-cura-15-04-setup.4169/
Feb 26, 2016 11:00 AM - kevin wilson: yeah saw that one, it was updated a year ago, saw another one that was updated last month with the code i just posted, didn't know if the plus made a difference
Feb 26, 2016 11:01 AM - daniel871: The only differences on the Plus have to do with the hardware itself, the Slicer/Gcode side of things doesn't change.
Feb 26, 2016 11:01 AM - kevin wilson: ok
Feb 26, 2016 11:02 AM - daniel871: Not sure what that M300 stuff is about though.
Feb 26, 2016 11:03 AM - daniel871: Oh, makes the LCD play a beep sound after the auto-level is done, apparently.
Feb 26, 2016 11:17 AM - BryZad: Mike can you send me a link in Facebook to them ?
Feb 26, 2016 11:27 AM - Mike Glass: sure bry
Feb 26, 2016 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: I hate you
Feb 26, 2016 11:31 AM - jbigler1986: JK. Love you all. Except MG. We all dislike him and his laser
Feb 26, 2016 11:31 AM - JeffTheMess: i hear you jb
Feb 26, 2016 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: More of a jealous thing really
Feb 26, 2016 11:34 AM - jbigler1986:
Feb 26, 2016 11:35 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure if I want to paint the letters or leave them kind of subtle
Feb 26, 2016 11:35 AM - Mike Glass: neat
Feb 26, 2016 11:35 AM - daniel871: So I have the Marlin RC3 with mesh bed leveling/etc. ready to flash to my R1+Plus, after fixing the wiring issue.
Feb 26, 2016 11:35 AM - JeffTheMess: leave it
Feb 26, 2016 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: Paint the wood so you dont see that ugly grain
Feb 26, 2016 11:36 AM - daniel871: Hopefully the mesh leveling and fixing the wiring will get it working properly and I can have the printer I was hoping to get the first time around.
Feb 26, 2016 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: Good luck with that..
Feb 26, 2016 11:37 AM - jbigler1986: Haha. Yeah the grain is so shitty
Feb 26, 2016 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: Finally decided to use some of the zebra wood. It was just sitting in my shed for months
Feb 26, 2016 11:39 AM - BryZad: Thanks Mike
Feb 26, 2016 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: not sure why amazon is always out of filament..ugg
Feb 26, 2016 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: esun raised prices again, damn you.
Feb 26, 2016 11:46 AM - daniel871: People figured out it was a pretty convenient place to order it.
Feb 26, 2016 11:47 AM - Mike Glass: hatchbox is like always sold out now.
Feb 26, 2016 11:47 AM - Mike Glass: Solutech is good stuff too, been using that since day one.
Feb 26, 2016 11:49 AM - JeffTheMess: hatchbox is my fav
Feb 26, 2016 11:52 AM - Mike Glass: esun petg is mine
Feb 26, 2016 11:57 AM - Mike Glass: who will fund me if I build a sls the size to print a car frame..lol
Feb 26, 2016 11:57 AM - BryZad: I need volume filament and not break the bank
Feb 26, 2016 11:57 AM - JeffTheMess: Mkelly will gladly do it
Feb 26, 2016 11:58 AM - Mike Glass: The juspla was reasonable bry
Feb 26, 2016 11:58 AM - BryZad: Mike you want to trade a BB-8 for you building me a Lazer cutter engraver?
Feb 26, 2016 11:59 AM - BryZad: Yea I think I am going to order two when I get home
Feb 26, 2016 11:59 AM - Schlomo: I got my Robo apart and placed on the risers as a dry fit
Feb 26, 2016 11:59 AM - Schlomo: that thing is huge
Feb 26, 2016 11:59 AM - Schlomo: I need a new shelf for it now..
Feb 26, 2016 11:59 AM - Mike Glass: I will build you mpcnc you could put a laser on..lol
Feb 26, 2016 12:00 PM - Mike Glass: you gonna steampunk that robo too?
Feb 26, 2016 12:04 PM - Schlomo: lol no it looks like shit
Feb 26, 2016 12:04 PM - Schlomo: the risers are all half spools of whatever color i had left
Feb 26, 2016 12:04 PM - JeffTheMess:
Feb 26, 2016 12:04 PM - Schlomo: red orange purple and transparent blue
Feb 26, 2016 12:05 PM - JeffTheMess: paint it
Feb 26, 2016 12:05 PM - Schlomo: too much work
Feb 26, 2016 12:05 PM - Schlomo:
Feb 26, 2016 12:05 PM - Schlomo: i just want it to print big things
Feb 26, 2016 12:05 PM - Schlomo: its all going to be covered inside with Insulation anyway
Feb 26, 2016 12:07 PM - Mike Glass: make sure its asbestos based
Feb 26, 2016 12:12 PM - JeffTheMess: thats the good stuff
Feb 26, 2016 12:12 PM - kevin wilson: how does one check the limit switches?
Feb 26, 2016 12:13 PM - daniel871: Do you have a multimeter?
Feb 26, 2016 12:13 PM - daniel871: Also, uh-oh?
Feb 26, 2016 12:19 PM - kevin wilson: lol yeah i started a print with cura to the robo and none of the points hit the bed, and it tries to pring like 5 inches up
Feb 26, 2016 12:20 PM - JeffTheMess: did it autolevel?
Feb 26, 2016 12:20 PM - Schlomo: level out your x axis
Feb 26, 2016 12:20 PM - Schlomo: manually with the lead screws, its not hitting a switch
Feb 26, 2016 12:20 PM - Schlomo: turn off steppers and turn them so it is parallel to the bed
Feb 26, 2016 12:22 PM - Schlomo: What I like to do is position the tip of the nozzle in the middle of the bed, adn turn the lead screws until you can hear both switches being triggered with like an 1/8th of a turn

 

Feb 26, 2016 12:22 PM - Schlomo: if that makes sense
Feb 26, 2016 12:24 PM - kevin wilson: does cura have a button to shut off the fan?
Feb 26, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: m18
Feb 26, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: for steppers
Feb 26, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: m107 for fans
Feb 26, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: i believe
Feb 26, 2016 12:26 PM - kevin wilson: so how do i run a code without printing something
Feb 26, 2016 12:26 PM - Schlomo: terminal
Feb 26, 2016 12:27 PM - Schlomo: i haven't used cura in a while, can someone point him how to get to the terminal?
Feb 26, 2016 12:27 PM - daniel871: I'll post a screenshot here when IMGUR finishes processing it.
Feb 26, 2016 12:30 PM - daniel871: Well, that's not working for me right now.
Feb 26, 2016 12:32 PM - daniel871: Also, apparently you need to actually be connected to the printer to open the machine control screen in Cura.
Feb 26, 2016 12:32 PM - daniel871: (and I'm not right now, as I'm at work).
Feb 26, 2016 12:32 PM - kevin wilson: trying the wizard in cura and its now allowing the controls to move the head down, only up
Feb 26, 2016 12:33 PM - Schlomo: Yeah, my robo is down for the count right now and my Mini-printer is SD only
Feb 26, 2016 12:33 PM - kevin wilson: looking at the pics in the insturction book shows a nut i don't even see on my machine
Feb 26, 2016 12:33 PM - Schlomo: you have a +Plus?
Feb 26, 2016 12:34 PM - Schlomo: do this, turn the printer off and manually move them down by twisting them with your fingers until the nozzle touches the bed
Feb 26, 2016 12:34 PM - daniel871: It would be hilarious in a very schadenfreude way if one of the Z-axes was missing a nut to move the X-axis up and down.
Feb 26, 2016 12:34 PM - Schlomo: then do what I described before, and adjust the rods by spinning them until both just barely let off the switch
Feb 26, 2016 12:35 PM - daniel871: Yeah, you do that procedure manually anyway, you can't control them independently with the power on.
Feb 26, 2016 12:35 PM - kevin wilson: was working earlier, just turned on matter control and z not moving the head down either
Feb 26, 2016 12:35 PM - Schlomo: it can happen if you were messigw ith things
Feb 26, 2016 12:35 PM - kevin wilson: i can move in every other direction
Feb 26, 2016 12:35 PM - Schlomo: not easily, but it has happened to me
Feb 26, 2016 12:35 PM - Schlomo: yeah its probably just your z switches not both pressed
Feb 26, 2016 12:36 PM - kevin wilson: so i hit home, it homed now i can move it down through matter
Feb 26, 2016 12:37 PM - Schlomo: wierd?
Feb 26, 2016 12:37 PM - daniel871: You really need to check and make sure the X-axis is running parallel with the glass plate.
Feb 26, 2016 12:37 PM - Schlomo: helps with bed adhesion and auto level routine
Feb 26, 2016 12:38 PM - daniel871: i.e., that the distance from the glass plate to the smooth rods of the X-axis is the same on both sides of the machine.
Feb 26, 2016 12:40 PM - daniel871: If it is too far out of parallel with the glass bed, it can cause issues with the auto leveling routing.
Feb 26, 2016 12:40 PM - kevin wilson: ok so i measured from the glass to the bar running from left to right that the extruder runs on, both the front and back and on the left and right and all equall
Feb 26, 2016 12:42 PM - kevin wilson: nope i lied
Feb 26, 2016 12:42 PM - kevin wilson: left side, front to back is the same, right side front to back is the same. Left to Right is off 1/4 inch
Feb 26, 2016 12:43 PM - kevin wilson: so now how do i bring the left side up or the right side down?
Feb 26, 2016 12:44 PM - daniel871: Hold the screw on one side still and turn the one on the other side.
Feb 26, 2016 12:44 PM - daniel871: Take measurements again until you get them even on both sides.
Feb 26, 2016 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: force run autolevel a few times
Feb 26, 2016 12:45 PM - daniel871: He's having a hard time accessing the terminal commands with Cura.
Feb 26, 2016 12:45 PM - daniel871: Or the machine control panel/pronterface.
Feb 26, 2016 12:46 PM - daniel871: Has anyone been using mesh bed leveling on the Robo?
Feb 26, 2016 12:47 PM - daniel871: How do I share a specific posting on a group board on Facebook with a link here?
Feb 26, 2016 12:48 PM - daniel871: Oh, n/m
Feb 26, 2016 12:48 PM - daniel871:

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1109719305725766

Feb 26, 2016 12:48 PM - daniel871: Check out the comment about printing a flesh light with PETG.
Feb 26, 2016 12:51 PM - kevin wilson: i can control the extruder using the commands from matter control
Feb 26, 2016 12:54 PM - kevin wilson: so on the left side the groved poll that goes up and down is in front of the smooth one, there is a nut on the part the up and down mechanizem is on. is that the one i adjust,,
Feb 26, 2016 12:55 PM - kevin wilson: going to take a pic
Feb 26, 2016 12:56 PM - daniel871: You don't have to do anything to the nut itself, you just turn the rod.
Feb 26, 2016 12:56 PM - daniel871: Also, if the nut isn't fully seated in the X-axis end pieces that may be part of the problem for why it isn't level to start with.
Feb 26, 2016 12:56 PM - kevin wilson: oh lol i'm going to blame my 2.5 year old and 5 year old on my distractions
Feb 26, 2016 1:00 PM - kevin wilson: ok so now the left side is = to the right side
Feb 26, 2016 1:00 PM - daniel871: Now if you send G29 to the printer again it should touch on all of the points when it runs around checking the bed.
Feb 26, 2016 1:02 PM - kevin wilson: before i do that, i did hit home on MC. it put the head down onto the bed (thats what she said) oh and it rhymes. bonus. should i be able to slip a piece of paper in there, because i can't
Feb 26, 2016 1:02 PM - daniel871: No. The way the sensors work is that the machine goes down until the sensors separate from the X-axis.
Feb 26, 2016 1:03 PM - daniel871: That's why you have an M565 Z-whatever in the start G-code to tell it how far it has to compensate for touching the glass until said sensors register a change.
Feb 26, 2016 1:04 PM - daniel871: The paper stuff has to do with other printer designs where the nozzle goes to a known location and you adjust the bed height with screws at each corner.
Feb 26, 2016 1:04 PM - kevin wilson: ok so now just need to send the g29
Feb 26, 2016 1:04 PM - daniel871: Yep.
Feb 26, 2016 1:05 PM - daniel871: If it runs around touching 9 points and then waits, then you should be good.
Feb 26, 2016 1:05 PM - daniel871: Just make sure you have that M565 line in the starting G-code in whatever software you use.
Feb 26, 2016 1:06 PM - kevin wilson: and i still have no idea where this switch is
Feb 26, 2016 1:06 PM - Mike Glass: Switch?
Feb 26, 2016 1:06 PM - daniel871: It's right underneath the X-axis ends.
Feb 26, 2016 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: those are antiques
Feb 26, 2016 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: You need a IR sensor.
Feb 26, 2016 1:08 PM - jbigler1986: ^
Feb 26, 2016 1:09 PM - Mike Glass: what edition do you have jb?
Feb 26, 2016 1:10 PM - daniel871:
Feb 26, 2016 1:10 PM - daniel871: See the red arrow there, Kevin.
Feb 26, 2016 1:10 PM - daniel871: It should be in the same place on both sides of the X-axis.
Feb 26, 2016 1:12 PM - kevin wilson: that helped i'm a little of, i can see the gold button on the left but not on the right, excellent
Feb 26, 2016 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: The latest one MG. Idk what edition it is
Feb 26, 2016 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: He sent it to me a few weeks ago
Feb 26, 2016 1:16 PM - Mike Glass: purple ir?
Feb 26, 2016 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: I thinks it's purple
Feb 26, 2016 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: ok couldnt remember, I have to swap mine out.
Feb 26, 2016 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: Kind of like pink
Feb 26, 2016 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: ok thats right
Feb 26, 2016 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I swapped to it like 2 weeks ago. Works way better than the original
Feb 26, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: I didnt have any issue with the 2nd version
Feb 26, 2016 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: Never got the 2nd version. Just the first
Feb 26, 2016 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: or the 1st really
Feb 26, 2016 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: It just wasn't very reliable
Feb 26, 2016 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: May give this mesh leveling a try soon with it
Feb 26, 2016 1:21 PM - Mike Glass: what is that?
Feb 26, 2016 1:21 PM - kevin wilson: ok so its heating up cura shows < echo:Unknown command: ""
Feb 26, 2016 1:21 PM - kevin wilson: but is still going, it did that last time but then ran the leveling after
Feb 26, 2016 1:22 PM - kevin wilson: well it says that, now the print button is highlighted, so will hit that
Feb 26, 2016 1:24 PM - Mike Glass: BOOM
Feb 26, 2016 1:31 PM - daniel871: It's probably saying "Unknown command" about that M300 in your starting Gcode, because it doesn't have a speaker to send a beep to.
Feb 26, 2016 1:32 PM - daniel871: Also: http://www.clickhole.com/blogpost/i-put-fat-suit-understand-what-its-be-your-mom-2061
Feb 26, 2016 1:33 PM - kevin wilson: yeah it touched all 9 points, now have to unclog it,
Feb 26, 2016 1:35 PM - daniel871: Man, Robo is hitting all the bases on the QC bingo card lately.
Feb 26, 2016 1:43 PM - kevin wilson: fixed ok so 220 for pla on the hot end?
Feb 26, 2016 1:44 PM - kevin wilson: or lower like 190
Feb 26, 2016 1:44 PM - daniel871: It's generally a good idea to run toward the cooler end on PLA.
Feb 26, 2016 1:45 PM - daniel871: The default setting in S3D is 195C for PLA.
Feb 26, 2016 1:45 PM - Mike Glass: I always start at 210 and work my way down on layers to 195
