Mar 14, 2016 at 7:40 PM - Mike Kelly: #10 is around M5
Mar 14, 2016 at 7:40 PM - Mike Kelly: M4 is the under side

 

Mar 15, 2016 at 3:09 AM - daniel871: Well, here is Bluprint almost 10 hours in.
Mar 15, 2016 at 3:10 AM - daniel871: Skirt curled, but it looks like the base layers were thick enough not to flex with it.
Mar 15, 2016 at 4:49 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Mar 15, 2016 at 5:57 AM - JeffTheMess: gooooood morning robonauts
Mar 15, 2016 at 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: Hey Jeff
Mar 15, 2016 at 5:58 AM - JeffTheMess: how goes it bill
Mar 15, 2016 at 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: its OK YOU?
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:03 AM - JeffTheMess: not too bad i guess working on anything
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:05 AM - Bill Monroe: heh ya, still trying to grok the HAL files on LinuxCNC
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:05 AM - Bill Monroe: how about you?
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:05 AM - JeffTheMess: building the frame for the 3dlp
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:07 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Stupid sword. Should've keyed the pieces together rather than using a rod through it. It has juuuuust enough flex from the weight of it to crack the seams on the blade no matter how much I try to fill them.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: I've found most women are unhappy if all you do is run a rod through it
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:09 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Depends on the rod.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:10 AM - AutopsyTurvy: (Wasn't just a rod, but epoxy all around it as well, and glue on the faces.)
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:11 AM - Bill Monroe: I dunno.. this might be a wacky thought but, how about just using a real sword?
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:11 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Illegal here.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:11 AM - AutopsyTurvy: And wouldn't be the right sword.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:11 AM - AutopsyTurvy: You can own them for display at home but you cannot have them in public.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:12 AM - JeffTheMess: swords are illegal there?!
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:12 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Carrying weapons in public is, yes.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:12 AM - Bill Monroe: they dont have things like freedoms and rights
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:13 AM - AutopsyTurvy:
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:13 AM - Bill Monroe: but, they have windmills and tulips. so...
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:13 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:14 AM - Bill Monroe: i have a freind who makes swords for the renfaire freaks
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:15 AM - Bill Monroe: he teaches old world swordsmanship.. or at least what people think old world sword use was
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:15 AM - Bill Monroe: master blacksmith.. by day he's a furrier
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:16 AM - JeffTheMess: heres a sword for ya
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:17 AM - Bill Monroe: bah.. that's a movie prop
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:18 AM - Bill Monroe: you dont get a workout swinging that thing around.. you end up with arms that look like.. well that look like his
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:19 AM - JeffTheMess: it was for Autopsy
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:19 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Huh. Neat.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:19 AM - AutopsyTurvy: ... wish I could find some damn Bondo, would've used that in the first place.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:19 AM - Bill Monroe: I know what an autopsy is, but I get the vibe that's not what you mean
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:19 AM - Bill Monroe: Is Bondo illegal too?
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:19 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:21 AM - AutopsyTurvy: No, just... generally a whole different line of products over here for everything.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:21 AM - Bill Monroe: ah
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:22 AM - AutopsyTurvy: So just about any glue, paint, filler, solvent, whatever, have to figure out what it's made of, what that is in Dutch, and if there's an equivalent product.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:23 AM - Bill Monroe: my freind gave me one of his broadswords so we could workout.. that thing is a brute to swing around
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:23 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Pain in the ass.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:23 AM - Bill Monroe: does holland adhere to the EU rules?
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:24 AM - AutopsyTurvy: It's an EU country, so I assume so...
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:24 AM - Bill Monroe: oh, I am sorry
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:24 AM - Bill Monroe: RoHS and all that crud...
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:25 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Ahh. Yeah, probably.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:25 AM - JeffTheMess: you were born there?
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:25 AM - AutopsyTurvy: No, no, I'm from Texas.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:26 AM - Bill Monroe: you could carry a real sword if you were still in texas
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:26 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Yes, but then I would still be in Texas. I'd rather carry my plastic sword over here.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:26 AM - Bill Monroe: of course, everywhere other than Austin, you'd get some pretty wierd looks
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: I love Texas
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:27 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Good, more for you.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:28 AM - Bill Monroe: I went to a gentleman's club in Ft Worth... they were having a raffle for a shotgun.. My gawd, I was ready to move
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:29 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Heh
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:29 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Well, I'm off to go pick up my offspring from school. Back later.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: I didnt really want it.. it was just being surounded but such nonjusdgmental freedom was intoxicating
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:30 AM - Bill Monroe: take care.. those bikes are dangerous
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:30 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Nah, lovely and safe, nice wide bike paths and drivers are very careful and courteous around bikes.
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:37 AM - JeffTheMess: nothing like new york where people tried to run bikes off the road
Mar 15, 2016 at 12:51 PM - BryZad: Hi all
Mar 15, 2016 at 2:43 PM - BryZad: Wow can hear the crickets cherp
Mar 15, 2016 at 2:56 PM - jbigler1986: Sup sup
Mar 15, 2016 at 4:22 PM - BryZad: What up jb
Mar 15, 2016 at 5:30 PM - Mike Kelly: made it to boston
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:05 PM - jim3Dbot: Congrats Mike.....Wish you the best!
Mar 15, 2016 at 6:45 PM - Mike Kelly: thanks
Mar 15, 2016 at 7:12 PM - Mike Noel: I'm new to 3d printing. I have MC up and running on win7 desktop but cannot get it to run on my win10 laptop. Seems to install OK but won't start. It gives no obvious error messages. Any thoughts?
Mar 15, 2016 at 7:22 PM - toymaker: first, ditch mc
Mar 15, 2016 at 7:23 PM - toymaker: try repetier host / cura
Mar 15, 2016 at 7:26 PM - toymaker: i did a quick google search and it told me windows 10 sucks =)
Mar 15, 2016 at 7:36 PM - Mike Noel: Think i'm stuck with Windows 10 for now on the laptop...
Mar 15, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Mike Noel: why do you like repetier, toymaker?
Mar 15, 2016 at 8:29 PM - toymaker: straight forward, free, reminds me of the software i use to use to run a waterjet .... i never really liked the cura interface
Mar 15, 2016 at 8:31 PM - toymaker: im forced to use 10 also on this new pc because i want to get a kinect sensor for scanning ( which is only compatible with 10 )

 

Mar 16, 2016 12:47 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Morning folks
Mar 16, 2016 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Mar 16, 2016 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: Windows 10 is good. Just need to disable all of the bullshit
Mar 16, 2016 6:22 AM - Bill Monroe: works for me.. no issues at all
Mar 16, 2016 6:31 AM - JeffTheMess: morning robonauts
Mar 16, 2016 6:31 AM - Bill Monroe: Jeff
Mar 16, 2016 6:32 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey Bill
Mar 16, 2016 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: dang, my house is going to feel like a recieving dock today
Mar 16, 2016 6:35 AM - JeffTheMess: thats exciting
Mar 16, 2016 6:35 AM - Bill Monroe:
Mar 16, 2016 6:37 AM - JeffTheMess: stuff for the cnc?
Mar 16, 2016 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: ya. some of it.. tool holders, software, interface card.. the rest is for 2.0
Mar 16, 2016 6:41 AM - JeffTheMess: nice, must be good
Mar 16, 2016 6:47 AM - Bill Monroe: hope so.. still strugging to fully grok HAL files
Mar 16, 2016 6:47 AM - Bill Monroe: going to set up the card using some buttons/switches as inputs and LEDs as outputs
Mar 16, 2016 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe: the software is PathPilot. It's Tormach's newer CNC-machine centric software.. heard it's bascially using LinuxCNC as a foundation
Mar 16, 2016 6:51 AM - Bill Monroe:
Mar 16, 2016 6:52 AM - JeffTheMess: linux is booming now
Mar 16, 2016 6:52 AM - Bill Monroe: it's always had a place, but it's kinda nichy
Mar 16, 2016 6:53 AM - Bill Monroe: Unix is it's ancestor, which was my first OS, so it's familair to me
Mar 16, 2016 7:02 AM - JeffTheMess: thats good atleast...when big gaming companies want to release games for linux it will blow up, then microsoft or apple will want to steal it and charge for it
Mar 16, 2016 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, I think it's too late for that.. MS will do what gates originally did... just change a few unix hooks, eleminate stuff that wasnt needed on a desktop, complie it and call it MS-DOS
Mar 16, 2016 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: time for me to head for work
Mar 16, 2016 7:07 AM - JeffTheMess: see ya
Mar 16, 2016 9:11 AM - toymaker: unix was a real os, ms dos was more like an image loader
Mar 16, 2016 9:52 AM - NFOsec: LOL.
Mar 16, 2016 9:53 AM - NFOsec: Unix, at least a POSIX compliant one is a real OS.
Mar 16, 2016 9:54 AM - NFOsec: BSD, UNIX, Linux, Netware UNIX, HP-UX, AIX, the list goes on... and on... My favorite "play time" was when I had gotten BeOS. Conceptually a good idea, but poorly executed.
Mar 16, 2016 10:36 AM - Mike Glass: yo
Mar 16, 2016 10:38 AM - JeffTheMess: No ones homes
Mar 16, 2016 10:42 AM - Mike Glass: booo
Mar 16, 2016 10:45 AM - JeffTheMess: i know
Mar 16, 2016 10:59 AM - Schlomo: Yo
Mar 16, 2016 11:27 AM - daniel871: Well, got a successful short print in BluPrint as far as "finished the print without catastrophic failure".
Mar 16, 2016 11:28 AM - daniel871: But the print itself was destroyed trying to pry it off of the PEI bed. >
Mar 16, 2016 11:29 AM - JeffTheMess: sounds like a good thing
Mar 16, 2016 11:29 AM - daniel871: Printed this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:990408
Mar 16, 2016 11:29 AM - daniel871: And naturally the piece that popped off bounced into that hole and into the void inside the printer.
Mar 16, 2016 11:30 AM - AutopsyTurvy: *snort*
Mar 16, 2016 11:33 AM - JeffTheMess: you had that flat on the bed
Mar 16, 2016 11:34 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Mar 16, 2016 11:34 AM - daniel871: Was sliding a palette knife under it and had one end free.
Mar 16, 2016 11:35 AM - daniel871: Twisted a little on the palette knife and it cracked, shot off like a spring into the top of the cover and went back down thru the hole on that side.
Mar 16, 2016 11:35 AM - daniel871: Lots of swearing followed.
Mar 16, 2016 11:36 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Mar 16, 2016 11:42 AM - daniel871: I do love how the mesh leveling has things where now I'm just fighting materials though. I'm hesitant to bother with the PT100 unless/until the current hotend dies.
Mar 16, 2016 11:45 AM - Blake Benefield: afternoon fella's
Mar 16, 2016 11:45 AM - daniel871: Every first layer lands perfectly. Just need to iron out actual adhesion issues.
Mar 16, 2016 11:55 AM - JeffTheMess: good ol' aqua hair spray
Mar 16, 2016 12:00 PM - BryZad: What up
Mar 16, 2016 12:01 PM - BryZad: Is Mike K lurking ?
Mar 16, 2016 12:01 PM - daniel871: I'm printing Nylon and related filaments, Jeff.
Mar 16, 2016 12:01 PM - JeffTheMess: MK is enjoying is time off
Mar 16, 2016 12:02 PM - Blake Benefield: I'm not sure that moving counts as time off
Mar 16, 2016 12:02 PM - Blake Benefield: it's more like punch yourself in the business and not be able to find anything for 3 weeks.
Mar 16, 2016 12:03 PM - BryZad: Yea I forgot he is moving
Mar 16, 2016 12:03 PM - BryZad: Was going to bounce a question
Mar 16, 2016 12:05 PM - BryZad: Any of you guys had random Kill printer codes happen ?
Mar 16, 2016 12:06 PM - Blake Benefield: eh?
Mar 16, 2016 12:06 PM - Blake Benefield: like regular printers or 3d printers?
Mar 16, 2016 12:06 PM - Blake Benefield: I always print via octopi or direct from SD
Mar 16, 2016 12:06 PM - JeffTheMess: never heard of a kill code
Mar 16, 2016 12:07 PM - Blake Benefield: I use them in certain linux servers Jeff, but outside of that neither have I
Mar 16, 2016 12:07 PM - Blake Benefield: be like -printer:lpt1 killjob all
Mar 16, 2016 12:07 PM - BryZad: It's a kill printer command sent
Mar 16, 2016 12:08 PM - daniel871: Had one when my Hexagon on the R1+ failed. Max Temp Error followed by Printer Kill Code
Mar 16, 2016 12:08 PM - BryZad: Yea that's what pops up in the gcode when I monitor the back and forth
Mar 16, 2016 12:09 PM - Blake Benefield: gotcha
Mar 16, 2016 12:09 PM - daniel871: You're running the newer Marlin, Bry?
Mar 16, 2016 12:09 PM - BryZad: I just get the printer kill comnand
Mar 16, 2016 12:09 PM - Blake Benefield: are you able to start a print?
Mar 16, 2016 12:10 PM - daniel871: The Thermal Runaway protection sends a kill code if it is triggered, but it's odd that you just get the status about the kill code instead of the reason it was sent.
Mar 16, 2016 12:10 PM - BryZad: Just the stock r1 flash from RoBo
Mar 16, 2016 12:10 PM - daniel871: Do you use MatterControl?
Mar 16, 2016 12:10 PM - daniel871: I'd love it if a bug in that software had it randomly sending that code to a printer mid-program.
Mar 16, 2016 12:11 PM - Blake Benefield: I had that happen once and it was just that my thermister had slipped out of the housing. popped it back in, klapton tape and no problems since.
Mar 16, 2016 12:11 PM - BryZad: I was taking to Mike K thinking it is in the adruion
Mar 16, 2016 12:11 PM - Blake Benefield: try setting it on fire?
Mar 16, 2016 12:11 PM - BryZad: It happens in simply 3d and in Repeter
Mar 16, 2016 12:12 PM - BryZad: I bought a new arduino
Mar 16, 2016 12:12 PM - Blake Benefield: and then?
Mar 16, 2016 12:13 PM - BryZad: We will see lol
Mar 16, 2016 12:13 PM - BryZad: That's one thing I like about a open source printer
Mar 16, 2016 12:14 PM - JeffTheMess: oh yeah, I remember MK telling you to get a new mega
Mar 16, 2016 12:16 PM - Blake Benefield: Was talking to MG earlier... told him I'm just gonna buy all the crap to upgrade my Hictop and mail it to MK for him to tweak lol
Mar 16, 2016 12:17 PM - JeffTheMess: easy enough
Mar 16, 2016 12:20 PM - Bill Monroe: what's that smell?
Mar 16, 2016 12:21 PM - BryZad: I have had weird luck with arduinos had one that told me my heat bed was 50c at room temp
Mar 16, 2016 12:23 PM - Blake Benefield: that's no good.
Mar 16, 2016 12:24 PM - Blake Benefield: So, what's everyone's favorite PETg? I'm looking for a (Hopefully) grey. Only one I've found is Colorfab XT
Mar 16, 2016 12:24 PM - Mike Glass: XT is Crap
Mar 16, 2016 12:25 PM - Bill Monroe: i love XT
Mar 16, 2016 12:29 PM - Blake Benefield: I found a silver hatchbox petg but it had kinda bad reviews
Mar 16, 2016 12:29 PM - Blake Benefield: review wise it appears that eSun has the best reviews
Mar 16, 2016 12:30 PM - JeffTheMess: hatchbox is king
Mar 16, 2016 12:31 PM - Blake Benefield: Unfortunately Jeff my experience with Hatchbox ABS was sorta meh. To the point where I didn't print ABS for quite a while.
Mar 16, 2016 12:32 PM - JeffTheMess: well let me rephrase then hatchbox pla is king
Mar 16, 2016 12:36 PM - Blake Benefield: I do enjoy some hatch PLA... JustPLA i've had really good luck with also with a little brand called GBB.
Mar 16, 2016 12:36 PM - Schlomo: I do not like Hatchbox ABS at all, to be honest
Mar 16, 2016 12:36 PM - Schlomo: so far eSUN and Prototype Supply ABS have been best for me

 

Mar 16, 2016 12:37 PM - Schlomo: that being said i have had some good prints with Hatchbox ABS so its not impossible to work with
Mar 16, 2016 12:37 PM - Mike Glass: I like hatchbox abs
Mar 16, 2016 12:37 PM - Mike Glass: but esun is the shiznet
Mar 16, 2016 12:39 PM - Blake Benefield: I was given some makerbot ABS that has performed quite well. Shaxon does the best on the hictop. makerbot on the robo
Mar 16, 2016 12:41 PM - Blake Benefield: In all fairness the hatchbox roll was my first venture into trying ABS... I've learned a lot about settings and bed adhesion etc so I may try it again in the future. I just remember printing at 240 and getting poor layer adhesion.
Mar 16, 2016 12:41 PM - Blake Benefield: lots of heavy warpage on my print too.
Mar 16, 2016 12:42 PM - Blake Benefield: my only instances of spaghetti have come from hatchbox ABS
Mar 16, 2016 12:42 PM - Mike Glass: well thats abs in general though. Petg is more forgiving
Mar 16, 2016 12:47 PM - Blake Benefield: which is why I wanna try it. I just don't wanna buy something with poor reviews and wanna run my printer over with a truck
Mar 16, 2016 12:51 PM - Bill Monroe: all my ABS issues went away when I heated the buildspace
Mar 16, 2016 1:01 PM - Blake Benefield: thanks guys. BBL
Mar 16, 2016 1:29 PM - BryZad: Dang it I got my hopes up that they were shipping my arduino from Brookfeild NM found our was from Conteticut
Mar 16, 2016 5:58 PM - daniel871: Okay, hole blocker printed and installed. Now printing the v6 version of the quick change arm for whenever this Hexagon dies.
Mar 16, 2016 5:58 PM - Bill Monroe: hello
Mar 16, 2016 5:58 PM - daniel871: Anyone know where the serial number is supposed to be on these R1+Plus printers? I looked around inside the cover in the general area it was in on the original R1 but I'm not finding any serial number stickers.
Mar 16, 2016 5:59 PM - daniel871: Hey Bill.
Mar 16, 2016 5:59 PM - Bill Monroe: Danny
Mar 16, 2016 6:00 PM - daniel871: Get the LinuxCNC figured out?
Mar 16, 2016 6:03 PM - Bill Monroe: oh heck np
Mar 16, 2016 6:03 PM - Bill Monroe: no
Mar 16, 2016 6:08 PM - daniel871: Had a few hiccups, but fingers cross now the R1+Plus will run like I need it to with the stock parts.
Mar 16, 2016 6:08 PM - daniel871: Had to rob the original Hexagon from my R1 after that hilarious leak ruined the original on the R1+, but it seems to be running okay.
Mar 16, 2016 6:30 PM - toymaker: i got an xbox one kinect sensor on order... hopefully i shoudl be scanning in the next few days
Mar 16, 2016 6:33 PM - Bill Monroe: back - stepped outside to fly my RC plane
Mar 16, 2016 7:27 PM - nonmindo: evening peeps
Mar 16, 2016 7:28 PM - Bill Monroe: non
Mar 16, 2016 7:29 PM - nonmindo: so i finally got the R1 upgraded to a Plus
Mar 16, 2016 7:29 PM - nonmindo: added my LED lights and upgraded to the V6
Mar 16, 2016 7:29 PM - toymaker: bill i recommend any homing swithces?
Mar 16, 2016 7:30 PM - Bill Monroe: not really.. anything works well, i still use the stock switch. it just has be be repeatable
Mar 16, 2016 7:30 PM - toymaker: i need some high pericsion high repeatibility ones perfer
Mar 16, 2016 7:30 PM - nonmindo: I think i did something wrong though, I thought it was supposed to be easier to print ninjaflex with the V6, I'm still having it get wrapped around the hobbed bolt
Mar 16, 2016 7:31 PM - toymaker: i bought those ballscrews for the cnc im building, researching homing switches
Mar 16, 2016 7:31 PM - nonmindo: I trimmed the PTFE tube to be flush with the top of the carriage, should I have instead trimmed it just below the hobbed bolt?
Mar 16, 2016 7:31 PM - Bill Monroe: yes
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - nonmindo: looks like i need to buy some PTFE tube lol
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - nonmindo: thanks
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - nonmindo: also, oiler, recommended or must?
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - Bill Monroe: any switch you like will do.. just mount it secure and dont mess with it once you get dialed in
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - Bill Monroe: oiling is a freekin waste of time
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - nonmindo: lol ok cool
Mar 16, 2016 7:32 PM - nonmindo: not even like for a little bit to "season" the head?
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - Bill Monroe: you dont need to seasin it
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - Bill Monroe: season
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - Bill Monroe: just use it
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - Bill Monroe: clean it first
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - nonmindo: ohh i didnt clean it lol
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - toymaker: im running dual ballscrews on my y-axis, i need some good homing switches or i stand a chance of racking
Mar 16, 2016 7:33 PM - Bill Monroe: people always clean it before they oil it, and they think the oil helped.. but it was just cleaning it
Mar 16, 2016 7:34 PM - nonmindo: it's been printing fine, only thing i have trouble with is it's a bit harder to remove the PLA when switching
Mar 16, 2016 7:34 PM - Bill Monroe: why dual? trying to level it?
Mar 16, 2016 7:34 PM - nonmindo: like i can almost lift the printer by the PLA when the hot end is at 202
Mar 16, 2016 7:35 PM - toymaker: one sec, pic worth bunch of words....
Mar 16, 2016 7:35 PM - Bill Monroe: heat swell.. crank it up to 260 to remove it
Mar 16, 2016 7:35 PM - Bill Monroe: no, there's no reason to use two..
Mar 16, 2016 7:35 PM - nonmindo: well see there is this thing that happened when i was installing my v6 thermistor and i wanted the printer running ASAP so i am running a hex post thermistor, i heard 260 is no bueno for it
Mar 16, 2016 7:36 PM - Bill Monroe: homing isnt anything other than finding a known reference, after that you use an offset to get it right where you want to be
Mar 16, 2016 7:36 PM - Bill Monroe: ok well, if you're going to hack things up.. you're the engineer.. good luck
Mar 16, 2016 7:37 PM - nonmindo: I think im going to order the proper thermistor for hte V6, the one i got was literally a "quick fix" since i broke the one that came with the v6 lol
Mar 16, 2016 7:37 PM - toymaker: http://imgur.com/U128Fbm
Mar 16, 2016 7:39 PM - Bill Monroe: looks like a typical cartesian mechanism
Mar 16, 2016 7:39 PM - toymaker: yes
Mar 16, 2016 7:39 PM - Bill Monroe: i've had the exact same V6. nozzle tip and thermistor in my machine for over a year now...
Mar 16, 2016 7:40 PM - Bill Monroe: i dont see the need for two
Mar 16, 2016 7:40 PM - Bill Monroe: limit switches that is
Mar 16, 2016 7:41 PM - toymaker: sense i have 2 screws on each side i need a way to put them in sync when i home it
Mar 16, 2016 7:41 PM - nonmindo: This one bill? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00THZJIY8?refRID=MR2NGW410W6QZRWM0FAF&ref_=pd_bia_nav_t_3
Mar 16, 2016 7:41 PM - toymaker: high percussion, high repeatability type of switch..
Mar 16, 2016 7:41 PM - Bill Monroe: you will need firmware that will offset them indepently.. got that?
Mar 16, 2016 7:42 PM - Bill Monroe: independently
Mar 16, 2016 7:42 PM - Bill Monroe: no.. it's just a tiny hair thermistor
Mar 16, 2016 7:43 PM - nonmindo: yea thats the one im currently using, I broke the V6 one
Mar 16, 2016 7:44 PM - Bill Monroe: i think folks that like to change to different filaments are asking for hotsection problems..
Mar 16, 2016 7:44 PM - Bill Monroe: but it that's ok then more power to them... I only run PLA on my machine, from only one vendor
Mar 16, 2016 7:44 PM - Bill Monroe: it's all about controlling the variables
Mar 16, 2016 7:44 PM - nonmindo: yea i've only been running Hatchbox PLA
Mar 16, 2016 7:45 PM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Mar 16, 2016 7:45 PM - Bill Monroe: hatchbox blue is better than drugs
Mar 16, 2016 7:45 PM - nonmindo: I've tried eSun they are a good alternate for me, but Shaxon neon green is what ruined my machine to the point of wanteing/needing the upgrades...now it prints BEAUTIFULLY
Mar 16, 2016 7:45 PM - nonmindo: wanting*
Mar 16, 2016 7:45 PM - nonmindo: Hatbox blue? as in, the color or is that a line of theirs
Mar 16, 2016 7:46 PM - Bill Monroe: the color.. very cobalty
Mar 16, 2016 7:46 PM - Bill Monroe: the pigments have an effect on the printability.. for any manufacturer, blue seems to be the best
Mar 16, 2016 7:47 PM - Bill Monroe: so combine quality hatchbox chemistry with using the blue color... heaven
Mar 16, 2016 7:47 PM - Bill Monroe: white.. ick. white seems to be difficult with any brand
Mar 16, 2016 7:48 PM - Bill Monroe: i've had very good luck with Shaxxon blue too.. not as good as hatchbox but very acceptable
Mar 16, 2016 7:48 PM - nonmindo: yea my eSun white was a bitch, but it printed nicely
Mar 16, 2016 7:48 PM - Bill Monroe: but I only get it if I happen to be at a Frys
Mar 16, 2016 7:48 PM - nonmindo: i love hatchbox because amazon prime eligible and affordable!
Mar 16, 2016 7:48 PM - nonmindo: yea thats where i got my shaxon neon green lol
Mar 16, 2016 7:48 PM - Bill Monroe: yes. that too.
Mar 16, 2016 7:49 PM - Bill Monroe: i'll bet the pigments are what cuased the problem
Mar 16, 2016 7:49 PM - nonmindo: probably, shit kept clogging my hexagon head
Mar 16, 2016 7:49 PM - nonmindo: i got 1 STELLAR shaxon print then it went to crap
Mar 16, 2016 7:49 PM - nonmindo: switched to V6 and amazon
Mar 16, 2016 7:49 PM - nonmindo: amazing*
Mar 16, 2016 7:50 PM - nonmindo: I'm having some dimensional issues now, all my prints seem to be off by about .1 or .2mm
Mar 16, 2016 7:50 PM - Bill Monroe: my hex was never a problem, but the V6 is better
Mar 16, 2016 7:50 PM - Bill Monroe: time to crapilate
Mar 16, 2016 7:51 PM - nonmindo: I'm wondering if some fine tuning is needed on the steps per MM. I'm just using the default robo R1+ firmware that robo suggests

 

Mar 16, 2016 7:51 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. gotta go through that.
Mar 16, 2016 7:52 PM - Bill Monroe: ok.. gotta go put some corned beef in the crockpot for tomrrow....
Mar 16, 2016 7:52 PM - nonmindo: Here are how my prints are coming out, no config to the firmware yet... there is a pic with the lights on so you can see toohttp://imgur.com/a/eWlqb
Mar 16, 2016 7:52 PM - nonmindo: http://imgur.com/a/eWlqb
Mar 16, 2016 7:53 PM - nonmindo: kk, go play with your meat

 

Mar 17, 2016 5:26 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning robonauts
Mar 17, 2016 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: hi Jeff..
Mar 17, 2016 5:36 AM - JeffTheMess: hey bill
Mar 17, 2016 5:39 AM - Bill Monroe: my house smells like an Irish pub
Mar 17, 2016 5:40 AM - JeffTheMess: dont know if thats good or bad
Mar 17, 2016 5:41 AM - Bill Monroe: its OK
Mar 17, 2016 5:41 AM - Bill Monroe: corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot
Mar 17, 2016 5:42 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 17, 2016 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe:
Mar 17, 2016 5:44 AM - JeffTheMess: oh is that today
Mar 17, 2016 5:44 AM - JeffTheMess: im wearing green too
Mar 17, 2016 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: yup.. Jeff the O'Mess
Mar 17, 2016 6:03 AM - JeffTheMess: lucky you
Mar 17, 2016 9:34 AM - Lytmup: I have an e3D v6 coming in and was wondering if I need to change the firmware? Does anyone know?
Mar 17, 2016 9:35 AM - JeffTheMess: do you get the stud thermistor?
Mar 17, 2016 9:37 AM - Lytmup: is that the 100K Semitec NTC thermistor?
Mar 17, 2016 9:47 AM - jbigler1986: Its the screw in one
Mar 17, 2016 9:50 AM - Lytmup: I am not sure then.
Mar 17, 2016 9:53 AM - JeffTheMess: if you don't know most likely you got the stock thermistor
Mar 17, 2016 9:53 AM - JeffTheMess: you will have to change the firmware to that thermistor
Mar 17, 2016 9:57 AM - Lytmup: Where can I find the firmware?
Mar 17, 2016 9:59 AM - JeffTheMess: http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/E3D-v6_Assembly
Mar 17, 2016 10:00 AM - JeffTheMess: hit control F type firmware, i think i saw it towards the bottom
Mar 17, 2016 10:22 AM - Lytmup: Thank you very much!! Also I am having some overhang issues. They just seem to come out so messy when I have support material beneath them. Should I adjust the separation?
Mar 17, 2016 10:24 AM - AutopsyTurvy: What slicer are you using?
Mar 17, 2016 10:24 AM - AutopsyTurvy: (I don't think there's any way to make perfect overhangs with support under, they're always gonna be some messy.)
Mar 17, 2016 10:26 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah basically lol
Mar 17, 2016 10:29 AM - AutopsyTurvy: http://41.media.tumblr.com/84ba75dff22b454f1f7a4028455f4b3d/tumblr_o3nv9jxbd71udnxozo2_1280.jpg ... pretty decent, typical overhang underside with 0.32mm layer height and perfectly breaking-away supports.
Mar 17, 2016 10:31 AM - Lytmup: I am using S3D.
Mar 17, 2016 10:32 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Well, can't get much better than that. Can try changing the resolution of the supports, making them smaller.
Mar 17, 2016 10:33 AM - AutopsyTurvy: I usually do it at 3mm support resolution, 65 degree max overhang angle, and 0.3mm separation from the part, and that breaks off cleanly and does decent overhangs.
Mar 17, 2016 10:35 AM - toymaker: lol my wire broke on my temp sensor, just now, right at the next to the sensor ( 1 year of heavy use)
Mar 17, 2016 10:55 AM - Bill Monroe: hello... it's me....
Mar 17, 2016 11:15 AM - kevin wilson: hi hi, been a while, although i got my LCD in for my printer
Mar 17, 2016 11:15 AM - kevin wilson: auto how the sword come out
Mar 17, 2016 11:22 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Good good. Finally got it smooth, going to be painting it in the next couple days.
Mar 17, 2016 11:27 AM - Lytmup: I will try those settings tonight! Thank you!
Mar 17, 2016 11:27 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Took ages to get the seams to stop cracking. Spent a couple days dribbling super glue into the cracks till they filled up, then covering the whole mess with a load of spray putty.
Mar 17, 2016 11:31 AM - kevin wilson: spray putty, that sounds cool, seams because it was small layers and outerwalls?
Mar 17, 2016 11:32 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Spray putty to fill the layer lines mainly. The seams were because the thing's 90 cm long and I printed it in like six pieces, ran a dowel through the center for strength, and glued it.
Mar 17, 2016 11:33 AM - AutopsyTurvy: And the dowel had juuuust enough flex that it kept cracking at the seams till I fed it enough glue and putty and swore at it enough.
Mar 17, 2016 11:39 AM - kevin wilson: lol
Mar 17, 2016 11:58 AM - Bill Monroe: mmmmm corned beef and cabbage....
Mar 17, 2016 11:59 AM - Bill Monroe: and guiness..
Mar 17, 2016 12:03 PM - jbigler1986: Not a guiness fan but I do like some stouts
Mar 17, 2016 12:03 PM - Bill Monroe: guiness will put some hair on your chest
Mar 17, 2016 12:04 PM - jbigler1986: I don't need any. It's warming up outside
Mar 17, 2016 12:05 PM - Bill Monroe: Hi Justin
Mar 17, 2016 12:06 PM - jbigler1986: Ello
Mar 17, 2016 12:09 PM - daniel871: Guinness is pretty good, but I'm one of those weirdos that also thinks red wines taste good.
Mar 17, 2016 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: Good day to be stuck in bed with a damn gout flare up in my knee I suppose
Mar 17, 2016 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: I am not a fan of wine
Mar 17, 2016 12:10 PM - jbigler1986: I have only tried one that I liked. I need to go to some wine tastings and fine some that I like
Mar 17, 2016 12:10 PM - Bill Monroe: actually, I dont drink at all.. i take a sip to honor the Irish, then 2.0 gets the rest
Mar 17, 2016 12:11 PM - daniel871: Wine tastings are pretty much the only drinking I do, and that's usually more in the context of a rare vacation trip.
Mar 17, 2016 12:12 PM - daniel871: St. Augustine has some pretty good selections at their tourist trap wineries.
Mar 17, 2016 12:13 PM - daniel871: I need to plan another vacation...
Mar 17, 2016 12:14 PM - daniel871: LOL, just got the Robo3D email people were joking about a couple weeks ago.
Mar 17, 2016 12:14 PM - daniel871: "Convince a friend to buy one of our printers and get $50"
Mar 17, 2016 12:14 PM - JeffTheMess: the "do our job" email
Mar 17, 2016 12:15 PM - daniel871: The actual link gives whoever follows it a referral code for 5% off any purchase from the store.
Mar 17, 2016 12:16 PM - AutopsyTurvy: That's slightly different than $50
Mar 17, 2016 12:16 PM - daniel871: *They* get 5% off whatever they buy. If they buy a printer *I* get $50.
Mar 17, 2016 12:17 PM - AutopsyTurvy: Ohhhh.
Mar 17, 2016 12:17 PM - daniel871: Not worth losing even a Facebook friend over though.
Mar 17, 2016 12:17 PM - daniel871:
Mar 17, 2016 12:17 PM - AutopsyTurvy: I guess it'd be useful if you had a friend already looking to buy a printer, but like I'm gonna go advertising to my friends.
Mar 17, 2016 12:18 PM - daniel871: I would recommend the Monoprice i3 clone for a first printer over the Robo anyway.
Mar 17, 2016 12:18 PM - daniel871: Half the price and so far a lot easier to use.
Mar 17, 2016 12:19 PM - AutopsyTurvy: ... hell, after a quick google, I want one of those myself.
Mar 17, 2016 12:20 PM - daniel871: Maker Select on the Monoprice website.
Mar 17, 2016 12:21 PM - daniel871: I put one of these on the enclosure doors on my Robo to hold both of them open when I want to get at the build area.
Mar 17, 2016 12:21 PM - daniel871:
Mar 17, 2016 12:21 PM - Bill Monroe: i think i saw one of those on an outhouse door
Mar 17, 2016 12:22 PM - AutopsyTurvy: If I had room for a second printer, I'd be seriously considering that one. Looks really nice for the price, and even with shipping/customs it wouldn't be crazy pricey.
Mar 17, 2016 12:22 PM - daniel871: Figured that was a much simpler solution than some kind of hydraulic hinge like what you'd put on a storage box.
Mar 17, 2016 12:23 PM - daniel871: It really is crazy good for the price point, AT.
Mar 17, 2016 12:23 PM - Bill Monroe: i put a tepper on mine so it opens automatically
Mar 17, 2016 12:23 PM - AutopsyTurvy: ... ok well $131 shipping is not super great.
Mar 17, 2016 12:24 PM - daniel871: Where are you again, AT? I'll look on the FB group for i3 clones and see if there is a distributor.
Mar 17, 2016 12:24 PM - AutopsyTurvy: Netherlands. I would be surprised if there wasn't - 3d printing is huge here.
Mar 17, 2016 12:25 PM - daniel871: Hm.
Mar 17, 2016 12:26 PM - kevin wilson: just north of boston here
Mar 17, 2016 12:26 PM - daniel871: There's the Wanhao i3, but I'm not sure how big a role taxes play in the price here: http://www.3dfutura.be/en/wanhao-wanhao-duplicator-i3-prusa-v2.html
Mar 17, 2016 12:27 PM - AutopsyTurvy: 362 before tax, but still reasonable with it as the shipping's free.
Mar 17, 2016 12:28 PM - JeffTheMess: dan is the new spokesman for the i3
Mar 17, 2016 12:28 PM - AutopsyTurvy: I can't really blame him - this looks pretty sweet.
Mar 17, 2016 12:28 PM - daniel871: I just think it's kind of ridiculous how good that printer has been for the price.
Mar 17, 2016 12:30 PM - AutopsyTurvy: I'll keep it bookmarked. I don't need a second printer but I still kinda want one.
Mar 17, 2016 12:30 PM - BryZad: There is always something to print with a second printer
Mar 17, 2016 12:31 PM - daniel871: It should only get cheaper over time, really. I watched that thing for about six months before pulling the trigger on it when my original R1 died (then I ended up winning that CES contest).
Mar 17, 2016 12:31 PM - BryZad: I think the contest was rigged Daniel
Mar 17, 2016 12:32 PM - daniel871: Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Mar 17, 2016 12:32 PM - BryZad: That's true
Mar 17, 2016 12:32 PM - daniel871: Seriously though, I got awful print quality on the original R1 and sent pieces in anyway, so they may have took pity after looking at the pieces I sent in.
Mar 17, 2016 12:33 PM - BryZad: Ha ha
Mar 17, 2016 12:33 PM - BryZad: I could use a second printer building BB-8
Mar 17, 2016 12:34 PM - JeffTheMess: I could use a second one just to say i have it lol
Mar 17, 2016 12:35 PM - BryZad: Always a excuse to have another
Mar 17, 2016 12:35 PM - BryZad: Some of the body panels I am building take like 8+ hour prints

 

Mar 17, 2016 12:36 PM - BryZad: Good thing I can start it and go to work
Mar 17, 2016 12:36 PM - JeffTheMess: this guy is building a bb8
Mar 17, 2016 1:09 PM - BryZad: Yea Jane's is building a different version than I am
Mar 17, 2016 1:09 PM - BryZad: James
Mar 17, 2016 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: hey there
Mar 17, 2016 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: wait, TstarkEngineering? are you lost?
Mar 17, 2016 1:31 PM - BryZad: Hows the move going mike
Mar 17, 2016 1:32 PM - Mike Kelly: well i'm in boston, looked at homes today and yesterday
Mar 17, 2016 1:32 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm flying to chicago in the morning for midwest reprap fest
Mar 17, 2016 1:32 PM - BryZad: That's always got to be fun lol
Mar 17, 2016 1:33 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah definitely stressful
Mar 17, 2016 1:33 PM - Mike Kelly: really liked the first home we found today, amazing location, well kept home
Mar 17, 2016 1:33 PM - Mike Kelly: the people had lived there for 42 years
Mar 17, 2016 1:34 PM - Mike Kelly: price is on the higher end
Mar 17, 2016 1:34 PM - Mike Kelly: but within budget
Mar 17, 2016 1:37 PM - BryZad: Nice
Mar 17, 2016 1:38 PM - BryZad: It's never a easy choice
Mar 17, 2016 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: it's really not
Mar 17, 2016 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: we lose about 2k sqft of yard space from our old home, but it's already fenced in and nice overall
Mar 17, 2016 1:42 PM - daniel871: Saw something odd on the way home from work yesterday, someone put thick cross-ties all the way around their yard and then covered the entire yard with river rocks until it was even with the cross ties.
Mar 17, 2016 1:42 PM - Mike Kelly: it's hard because we could move on the other side of 93 and have a bigger yard and home for similar amount, but the commute would be worse
Mar 17, 2016 1:43 PM - daniel871: I guess someone really never wants to cut the grass again.
Mar 17, 2016 1:43 PM - TstarkEngineering: o yes i am lost btw
Mar 17, 2016 1:43 PM - TstarkEngineering: i have migrated to a foreign territory here
Mar 17, 2016 1:44 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm gonna confuse you by messaging at both places
Mar 17, 2016 1:44 PM - Mike Kelly: daniel here is also a pre-order bigboxer like you
Mar 17, 2016 1:45 PM - TstarkEngineering: haha thanks mike way to confuse me
Mar 17, 2016 1:45 PM - TstarkEngineering: hello daniel!
Mar 17, 2016 1:46 PM - TstarkEngineering: on the plus side i am like 30miles away from SD where Robo3d is
Mar 17, 2016 1:46 PM - Mike Kelly: oh nice
Mar 17, 2016 1:46 PM - Mike Kelly: so about a 2 day drive
Mar 17, 2016 1:47 PM - TstarkEngineering: haha not quite, I am not near LA
Mar 17, 2016 1:47 PM - TstarkEngineering: which was just rated number 1 in worst traffic
Mar 17, 2016 1:47 PM - Mike Kelly: so 3 days
Mar 17, 2016 1:47 PM - Mike Kelly: ah missed the Not
Mar 17, 2016 1:47 PM - TstarkEngineering: I work in between LA and san diego the traffic is bad though
Mar 17, 2016 1:48 PM - TstarkEngineering: but I try and come in early and leave early
Mar 17, 2016 1:49 PM - TstarkEngineering: I used to commute to orange county(socal) everyday and some days 3+ hours
Mar 17, 2016 1:49 PM - Mike Kelly: ugh gross
Mar 17, 2016 1:50 PM - TstarkEngineering: I am at 90,000 miles on my car that I bought brand new in june 2013
Mar 17, 2016 1:50 PM - Mike Kelly: holy F
Mar 17, 2016 1:50 PM - TstarkEngineering: the money is good though
Mar 17, 2016 1:51 PM - TstarkEngineering: anyways found a place yet? I saw that you liked the first place you came across
Mar 17, 2016 1:52 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah the first today, but not first overall
Mar 17, 2016 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: my agents going to run the numbers on it and see if the value is right
Mar 17, 2016 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: the location though, GAH
Mar 17, 2016 1:53 PM - TstarkEngineering: what are prices for like a 1500-2000sq ft house out there?
Mar 17, 2016 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: 400-500
Mar 17, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: depends on the city
Mar 17, 2016 1:54 PM - TstarkEngineering: ok so depending on the area about the same as here
Mar 17, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Mar 17, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: it's comparable to SD
Mar 17, 2016 1:54 PM - Mike Kelly: also in other news i just got my brand new lenovo laptop from work, doesn't boot up
Mar 17, 2016 1:55 PM - TstarkEngineering: haha lmao how ironic i just got a brand new lenovo laptop too...though it does boot
Mar 17, 2016 1:55 PM - TstarkEngineering: this is a w550s
Mar 17, 2016 1:55 PM - TstarkEngineering: not to crazy but it has an i7
Mar 17, 2016 1:56 PM - Mike Kelly: W541 here
Mar 17, 2016 1:56 PM - TstarkEngineering: well I imagine you do a lot more drafting than me :-D
Mar 17, 2016 1:57 PM - TstarkEngineering: im all about validations and protocols lol
Mar 17, 2016 1:58 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah I live and breath solidworks
Mar 17, 2016 1:58 PM - Mike Kelly: not sure how much i'll be using it anymore
Mar 17, 2016 1:58 PM - TstarkEngineering: me too just outside of work haha
Mar 17, 2016 1:58 PM - Mike Kelly: that's what got me my job!
Mar 17, 2016 1:59 PM - TstarkEngineering: true, I need to be more active in the 3d community haha
Mar 17, 2016 1:59 PM - Mike Kelly: certainly helps to get your name out there
Mar 17, 2016 2:01 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.akeric.com/blog/?p=3768 this looks like a nice breakdown on Jerk
Mar 17, 2016 2:02 PM - Mike Kelly: do you happen to know what the 4th 5th and 6th order of position is?
Mar 17, 2016 2:04 PM - TstarkEngineering: ya learned about it at some point...probably physics class
Mar 17, 2016 2:04 PM - Mike Kelly: Snap, Crackle, and Pop
Mar 17, 2016 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess physicists have a sense of humor
Mar 17, 2016 2:07 PM - TstarkEngineering: lol for forgot the word "bad"
Mar 17, 2016 2:07 PM - TstarkEngineering: jk
Mar 17, 2016 2:08 PM - Mike Kelly: that was inferred
Mar 17, 2016 2:09 PM - TstarkEngineering: Do you know of a really cheap 3 axis setup...I;m making a dispenser system for work
Mar 17, 2016 2:09 PM - TstarkEngineering: Prototype
Mar 17, 2016 2:10 PM - Mike Kelly: how big are you needing
Mar 17, 2016 2:10 PM - TstarkEngineering: It is faster and more efficient than building one from scratch
Mar 17, 2016 2:10 PM - TstarkEngineering: psh like 2 in by 2 in by 2in travel
Mar 17, 2016 2:10 PM - TstarkEngineering: our molds are like 3x3x2
Mar 17, 2016 2:10 PM - Mike Kelly: printrbot play?
Mar 17, 2016 2:11 PM - TstarkEngineering: i was hoping for something cheaper lol...
Mar 17, 2016 2:11 PM - TstarkEngineering: even without electronics
Mar 17, 2016 2:11 PM - Mike Kelly: i mean you can buy some dirt cheap kits from china
Mar 17, 2016 2:11 PM - TstarkEngineering: alibaba?
Mar 17, 2016 2:12 PM - Mike Kelly: the mostly printed CNC could be made cheap
Mar 17, 2016 2:12 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah or eBay
Mar 17, 2016 2:12 PM - TstarkEngineering: k ill go take a look aruond. if you run across something super cheap let me know. The company will back it, but id like to prove my design first before they do with my own money
Mar 17, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Kelly: they make some really cheap i3 clones out there
Mar 17, 2016 2:13 PM - Mike Kelly: ~200
Mar 17, 2016 2:13 PM - TstarkEngineering: k
Mar 17, 2016 2:16 PM - TstarkEngineering: I printed nefertiti all last night. pretty cool whomever stole it, turned out really good
Mar 17, 2016 2:16 PM - Mike Kelly: that's one thing i'm really curious about, how does 3d scanning fit into copyright protection
Mar 17, 2016 2:16 PM - Mike Kelly: i mean i feel like if you can take pictures of something you should be able to scan it
Mar 17, 2016 2:17 PM - Mike Kelly: since pictures could be used to reconstruct it
Mar 17, 2016 2:17 PM - TstarkEngineering: ya but whoever took it took it from a server or wherever it was stored, someone hacked it or the people who scanned it for the museum got bribed. either way someone is accountable for the mishap
Mar 17, 2016 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: ahhh
Mar 17, 2016 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: didn't know that part of the story
Mar 17, 2016 2:18 PM - TstarkEngineering: ya it by no means was scanned at the museum with a kinect
Mar 17, 2016 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: honestly if i go back to the Louvre i'd want to bring a scanner
Mar 17, 2016 2:18 PM - TstarkEngineering: the quality of the file is ridiculous

 

Mar 17, 2016 2:18 PM - TstarkEngineering: I have a 3d sense
Mar 17, 2016 2:19 PM - Mike Kelly: right, definitely a high cost scanner
Mar 17, 2016 2:19 PM - Mike Kelly: do you like it?
Mar 17, 2016 2:19 PM - TstarkEngineering: its cool for fun but isnt practical
Mar 17, 2016 2:19 PM - Mike Kelly: just not very high resolution?
Mar 17, 2016 2:19 PM - BryZad: Damn Mike for 400-500k you can get a 5-6 bedroom house and on a acre lot out here
Mar 17, 2016 2:19 PM - TstarkEngineering: not even, i bought it when it first came out so it may be better now, but i would say +/-.050 or so
Mar 17, 2016 2:20 PM - TstarkEngineering: where do you live bry
Mar 17, 2016 2:20 PM - BryZad: Arizona
Mar 17, 2016 2:20 PM - TstarkEngineering: ahh ya
Mar 17, 2016 2:20 PM - Mike Kelly: you couldn't pay me 4-500k to live in arizona
Mar 17, 2016 2:20 PM - TstarkEngineering: i live in socal prices are just as bad out here as with mikes
Mar 17, 2016 2:20 PM - TstarkEngineering: hahahaha
Mar 17, 2016 2:21 PM - BryZad: What's so wrong with az
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - TstarkEngineering: its 130 degrees
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - TstarkEngineering: during summer
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - BryZad: Only 8 months of the year
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - TstarkEngineering: :-D
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - Mike Kelly: sprawl, old people, racism, prison camps, sherif joe
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - Mike Kelly: i could keep going
Mar 17, 2016 2:22 PM - BryZad: And is only 100+ in the shade
Mar 17, 2016 2:23 PM - TstarkEngineering: I think you are talking about the south mike
Mar 17, 2016 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Mar 17, 2016 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: i would never want to raise kids there
Mar 17, 2016 2:23 PM - BryZad: Yea we arnt that bad
Mar 17, 2016 2:23 PM - BryZad: Hey I was raised here and turned out just fine lol
Mar 17, 2016 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm sure there are good people there, but too many bad people
Mar 17, 2016 2:24 PM - BryZad: That's why I live outside of Phoenix
Mar 17, 2016 2:24 PM - TstarkEngineering: there are bad people everywhere though...
Mar 17, 2016 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Mar 17, 2016 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: just depends on the ratio
Mar 17, 2016 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: i just can't live somewhere that people vote against education because they're old and don't have kids
Mar 17, 2016 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: my friends went to ASU for a couple years, they made it sound just dreadful there
Mar 17, 2016 2:25 PM - TstarkEngineering: we had a friend move to idaho because it was supposedly rated as one of the safest places, a week after they moved they had one of the biggest drug busts in idaho history right down the street...i laughed and laughed
Mar 17, 2016 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: plus the heat
Mar 17, 2016 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: omg the heat
Mar 17, 2016 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: probably meth
Mar 17, 2016 2:26 PM - TstarkEngineering: i wouldnt mind living in colorado, its nice there...there are actual seasons
Mar 17, 2016 2:26 PM - BryZad: You get used to the heat
Mar 17, 2016 2:26 PM - BryZad: Or just die or dehydration
Mar 17, 2016 2:27 PM - TstarkEngineering: and I assume the cost of living is less there too..right mike?
Mar 17, 2016 2:27 PM - BryZad: Weeds out the week ones
Mar 17, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it is, that's why people from california are moving there in droves
Mar 17, 2016 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: and screwing up our housing market
Mar 17, 2016 2:27 PM - BryZad: Moving to Az
Mar 17, 2016 2:27 PM - TstarkEngineering: haha opps
Mar 17, 2016 2:28 PM - TstarkEngineering: stupid californias
Mar 17, 2016 2:28 PM - BryZad: Tons are moving that's why are housing skyrocked then bubble busrt
Mar 17, 2016 2:29 PM - BryZad: I bought a house at the top of the bubble for 179k and then through my divorce two and a half years later had to short sell it and went on the market for 70k
Mar 17, 2016 2:29 PM - TstarkEngineering: yikes
Mar 17, 2016 2:29 PM - BryZad: The house was built in 2010 also
Mar 17, 2016 2:29 PM - TstarkEngineering: sorry to hear
Mar 17, 2016 2:30 PM - Mike Kelly: omg man that sucks sorry for that
Mar 17, 2016 2:30 PM - TstarkEngineering: I just moved in sept, and already need a bigger house
Mar 17, 2016 2:30 PM - BryZad: Yea good thing was the bail out helped my I walked away from the negative equity
Mar 17, 2016 2:30 PM - TstarkEngineering: but thats how it always works
Mar 17, 2016 2:32 PM - TstarkEngineering: used to the time change yet mike?
Mar 17, 2016 2:32 PM - Mike Kelly: i mean i guess, i just don't really know what's happening
Mar 17, 2016 2:33 PM - TstarkEngineering: do they do daylight savings there too?
Mar 17, 2016 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: went out for a couple beers with Stephen Capistron yesterday, think i had too much cause i fell asleep at like 7
Mar 17, 2016 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: then my wife was freaking out when i wasn't answering
Mar 17, 2016 2:34 PM - Mike Kelly: i think only AZ, Alaska, and Indiana don't do DST
Mar 17, 2016 2:34 PM - TstarkEngineering: changing the subject again, has someone made a full new enclosure for the r1 yet? not just your addon but like a whole new top
Mar 17, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: uhmm
Mar 17, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: i've seen one or 2 people make one
Mar 17, 2016 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: but no one has done anything with the Z axis afaik
Mar 17, 2016 2:36 PM - TstarkEngineering: wow thats cool Stephen Capistron I could talk medical stuff with him lol
Mar 17, 2016 2:37 PM - TstarkEngineering: That may be one of the things I do, Im not a fan of the way it looks
Mar 17, 2016 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah he knows all about that stuff
Mar 17, 2016 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i liked how it actually looked like something interesting and not just a box
Mar 17, 2016 2:41 PM - TstarkEngineering: lol I like the box look...I like clean lines and completely enclosed
Mar 17, 2016 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: http://cl.ly/342E0t2I311Y let's play what the hell does this word say
Mar 17, 2016 2:42 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i've grown more fond of the boxed look
Mar 17, 2016 2:42 PM - TstarkEngineering: I have an up box at work, i love the way it looks
Mar 17, 2016 2:42 PM - Mike Kelly: it's in the appliance section
Mar 17, 2016 2:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm thinking it says microwave
Mar 17, 2016 2:42 PM - TstarkEngineering: lol
Mar 17, 2016 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: up box does look nice, never heard of that
Mar 17, 2016 2:43 PM - TstarkEngineering: it does kind of look like a microwave
Mar 17, 2016 2:43 PM - TstarkEngineering: ya its a closed source software but the printer itself is pretty amazing...on a sidenote people just hacked the software to be open sourced
Mar 17, 2016 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: sounds like the davinci
Mar 17, 2016 2:45 PM - TstarkEngineering: the printer can print .1 microns all day long with its software with good results though..and no smell when running abs = perfect printer for work
Mar 17, 2016 2:45 PM - TstarkEngineering: btw what is that word
Mar 17, 2016 2:47 PM - TstarkEngineering: cucumber jk lol
Mar 17, 2016 2:51 PM - kevin wilson: first letter could be a lowercase r, or a K, except it is missing the full top line that goes up to the right
Mar 17, 2016 2:52 PM - TstarkEngineering: i was thinking it was an h or n
Mar 17, 2016 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Mar 17, 2016 2:54 PM - TstarkEngineering: ya i just say that today too
Mar 17, 2016 2:54 PM - TstarkEngineering: i feel like he did everything uncommon
Mar 17, 2016 2:55 PM - kevin wilson: lol
Mar 17, 2016 2:56 PM - TstarkEngineering: I felt like a good review would be like buildtak, gluestick, blue tape, etc
Mar 17, 2016 2:58 PM - TstarkEngineering: but maybe im crazy
Mar 17, 2016 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: he's reviewed buildtak before and i think has a video on OTC adhesive options
Mar 17, 2016 3:00 PM - TstarkEngineering: ahhh ok makes sens
Mar 17, 2016 3:00 PM - TstarkEngineering: e
Mar 17, 2016 3:01 PM - jbigler1986: MK sell the house yet?
Mar 17, 2016 3:02 PM - TstarkEngineering: ok I am off work for the day, take it easy guys have a good night
Mar 17, 2016 3:03 PM - Mike Kelly: house is sold
Mar 17, 2016 3:03 PM - Mike Kelly: later t
Mar 17, 2016 3:03 PM - jbigler1986: Awesome

 

Mar 17, 2016 3:04 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah we had first showings saturday, sunday was open house, had 4 offers in on Sunday night, and a 5th monday
Mar 17, 2016 3:07 PM - jbigler1986: So get over the asking price then?
Mar 17, 2016 3:08 PM - Mike Kelly: 10k yeah
Mar 17, 2016 3:09 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.cosineadditive.com hmm
Mar 17, 2016 4:00 PM - Mike Kelly: Purdue is in overtime right now against Little Rock, JB's probably having a freak out
Mar 17, 2016 4:11 PM - Mike Kelly: http://deltaprintr.com/shop/parts-and-accessories/hardware/mini-hotend/ tiny hot end anyone?
Mar 17, 2016 4:13 PM - Mike Kelly: Double OT, oh man JB
Mar 17, 2016 4:27 PM - Mike Kelly: ruh roh, down by 1 w/ 11 seconds
Mar 17, 2016 4:30 PM - Mike Kelly: omg wow
Mar 17, 2016 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: sorry for your loss, purdue did not finish strong this season
Mar 17, 2016 5:28 PM - daniel871: Ok, doing another overnight print. If you see swearing in here around 5:30 in the morning EST you know it failed.
Mar 17, 2016 5:29 PM - kevin wilson: lol
Mar 17, 2016 6:01 PM - Mike Kelly: Damn that's early
Mar 17, 2016 6:01 PM - daniel871: Actually wake up at 4:45, that's just the latest I can leave for work without being late.

 

Mar 18, 2016 3:16 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Right-o, time to see if glue stick will salvage my completely unsticky bed.
Mar 18, 2016 4:39 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Mar 18, 2016 5:23 AM - JeffTheMess: tgif
Mar 18, 2016 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: hey Jeff
Mar 18, 2016 5:30 AM - JeffTheMess: hows it going bill
Mar 18, 2016 5:30 AM - Bill Monroe: eh.. kinda frustrating... getting nowhere with linuxcnc
Mar 18, 2016 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: How about you? big plans for the weekend?
Mar 18, 2016 5:40 AM - JeffTheMess: for once i get to relax and enjoy the weekend
Mar 18, 2016 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
Mar 18, 2016 5:46 AM - JeffTheMess: you got plans?
Mar 18, 2016 5:52 AM - daniel871: Well, the print was still running when I left the house.
Mar 18, 2016 6:10 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning guys.
Mar 18, 2016 6:14 AM - daniel871: Morning Waldo.
Mar 18, 2016 6:14 AM - daniel871: I'm pulling together the parts to do the same bed heater mod you did.
Mar 18, 2016 6:14 AM - daniel871: The print I ran last night was curling up everywhere except for where the stock bed heater is.
Mar 18, 2016 6:16 AM - WheresWaldo: If you have ever pulled off the cork you will see just how small the heater really is.
Mar 18, 2016 6:16 AM - daniel871: What was that second relay you ended up using called?
Mar 18, 2016 6:16 AM - daniel871: My CES Robo R1+ wasn't taped on at all (cork was just attached by glue).
Mar 18, 2016 6:16 AM - daniel871: So yeah, I know how small the actual heater is.
Mar 18, 2016 6:17 AM - WheresWaldo: It was a single channel hi power relay for Arduino projects 30A capacity, I will likely go back to an SSR if I can find a cheap genuine Fostek
Mar 18, 2016 6:17 AM - daniel871: Fotek?
Mar 18, 2016 6:18 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah Fotek
Mar 18, 2016 6:18 AM - WheresWaldo: But the relay wasn't Fotek
Mar 18, 2016 6:18 AM - WheresWaldo: The SSR I bought was supposed to be Fotek but he vendor swapped in some clone and it melted on the first use.
Mar 18, 2016 6:19 AM - daniel871: How many amps does the heated bed need?
Mar 18, 2016 6:20 AM - WheresWaldo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/36136821937...49&var=630711214512&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Mar 18, 2016 6:20 AM - WheresWaldo: I went with a 300W so 25A
Mar 18, 2016 6:21 AM - WheresWaldo: I am running it off 12V power.
Mar 18, 2016 6:21 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/uxcell-SSR-25...=1458307499&sr=1-1&keywords=solid+state+relay
Mar 18, 2016 6:21 AM - WheresWaldo: And I have a bigger supply than the default, now non-working Robo PS
Mar 18, 2016 6:21 AM - daniel871: There's one with a heatsink.
Mar 18, 2016 6:22 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah, I am going to look for something a bit bigger like 40A so I have some headroom
Mar 18, 2016 6:23 AM - WheresWaldo: My original intent was to go with a 200-250W but everyone seemed to jump to 300W at 10x10
Mar 18, 2016 6:24 AM - WheresWaldo: Got the bed heater from AliBrothers Rubber on AliExpress, they will even custom size if you want them to, took 6 days from order to delivery via DHL
Mar 18, 2016 6:25 AM - daniel871: Her'es a 40A version. http://www.amazon.com/uxcell-SSR-40DA-H-DC-AC-3-32VDC-90-480VAC/dp/B019131KSC
Mar 18, 2016 6:25 AM - WheresWaldo: And Dan, when I pulled my kapton heater it pulled off chunks of the black paint, that is why I stripped it bare
Mar 18, 2016 6:26 AM - daniel871: Oh, I'm not worried there. The black paint and white square being nowhere near the heater location has always bugged me.
Mar 18, 2016 6:26 AM - WheresWaldo: Thanks. Figured I didn't need Robo's mismarked square especially if I could actually see where the heater was through the glass.
Mar 18, 2016 6:27 AM - WheresWaldo: I added a pic to my thread in Show and Tell that shows the heater and now clear bed.
Mar 18, 2016 6:28 AM - daniel871: I saw that and actually like it better than the black bed.
Mar 18, 2016 6:29 AM - WheresWaldo: Dan, that is the wrong SSR, the DA is AC and the DD is DC
Mar 18, 2016 6:30 AM - WheresWaldo: I couldn't find a DD with a heat sink
Mar 18, 2016 6:31 AM - WheresWaldo: So what I really want is a SSR-40DD
Mar 18, 2016 6:31 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Mar 18, 2016 6:31 AM - Schlomo: Morning every
Mar 18, 2016 6:32 AM - WheresWaldo: The problem with the relay is that it is slow and you can't or shouldn't use PID. BangBang makes it over and undershoot by about 3 or 4° in each direction.
Mar 18, 2016 6:34 AM - WheresWaldo: Dan, one more thing I found I had to work around...
Mar 18, 2016 6:36 AM - daniel871: I remember the bit about Bangbang on the bed from another heated bed upgrade someone on here did.
Mar 18, 2016 6:37 AM - WheresWaldo: Even though the thermistor should be either table 1 or 8, I found that the bed ran very hot. Set to 100° It would measure about 130°C, 50 ran about 68°C so I had to create a custom table and add it to thermistortables.h
Mar 18, 2016 6:37 AM - daniel871: Find the relay and then buy the heatsink on it's own.
Mar 18, 2016 6:37 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/TOOGOO-Aluminum-Solid-State-Relay/dp/B00YOKWAYQ
Mar 18, 2016 6:39 AM - WheresWaldo: If I'm ording from Amazon, I don't want it coming on the slow boat from China, Banggood, eBay and AliExpress are for that.
Mar 18, 2016 6:40 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Aluminum-Solid-Dissipation-10A-40A/dp/B00ARBA02A
Mar 18, 2016 6:40 AM - daniel871: That one ships via Prime
Mar 18, 2016 6:40 AM - WheresWaldo: To enable bangbang it is just one comment added to configuration.h. I saw that one.
Mar 18, 2016 6:41 AM - daniel871: Did you have to add the custom table even with Bangbang?
Mar 18, 2016 6:41 AM - WheresWaldo: Yes, the table is based on thermistor, not how you power the bed heater.
Mar 18, 2016 6:42 AM - WheresWaldo: There are plenty of sites that tell you how to do it.
Mar 18, 2016 6:42 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
Mar 18, 2016 6:42 AM - Mike Kelly: on my way to midwest reprap
Mar 18, 2016 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: I use a watlow on the bed
Mar 18, 2016 6:43 AM - WheresWaldo: The easiest would be to supply your own thermistor so you know either the delta value or the exact thermistor model.
Mar 18, 2016 6:43 AM - WheresWaldo: Bill what is a watlow
Mar 18, 2016 6:43 AM - JeffTheMess: sup Mike
Mar 18, 2016 6:44 AM - Bill Monroe: its a brand name for an independent controller
Mar 18, 2016 6:44 AM - Bill Monroe: have a few laying around from old machine projects
Mar 18, 2016 6:44 AM - WheresWaldo: Are you using their thermocoupler?
Mar 18, 2016 6:45 AM - WheresWaldo: A complete setup with controller?
Mar 18, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: i dunno.. I have a roll of type K wire.. could be thiers..
Mar 18, 2016 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. hang on for a link
Mar 18, 2016 6:48 AM - Bill Monroe: bah.. cant find it but this one is the same thing: http://www.amazon.com/AGPtek®-K-Typ...id=1458308728&sr=8-7&keywords=temp+controller
Mar 18, 2016 7:02 AM - daniel871: How does that 30A relay you used in the meantime function, Waldo?
Mar 18, 2016 7:10 AM - WheresWaldo: It works fine, you can actually hear it click on and off even over the fan noise. What I did was buy the relays and the SSR at the same time so I could figure out which way I wanted to go afterwards.. I am adding a couple of images and links in my printer thread.
Mar 18, 2016 7:13 AM - daniel871: Found this listing on EBAY for a solid state 40A DC-DC relay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Solid-State...605099?hash=item3ab4ded32b:g:Ia4AAOSwwTlUq~zw
Mar 18, 2016 7:14 AM - WheresWaldo: Nope, pictured is a DA not DD
Mar 18, 2016 7:17 AM - WheresWaldo: Then you also have to watch for ones that are mislabeled. Since I used a 12v heater not 120VAC I need a DD that actually has output in DC not AC volts. If you do an eBay search some idiot in the US has a cheap Chinese SSR marked as SSR-40DD with AC output.
Mar 18, 2016 7:21 AM - daniel871: Okay, so, this relay: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012SW6TB6
Mar 18, 2016 7:21 AM - daniel871: This heatsink: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ARBA02A
Mar 18, 2016 7:21 AM - daniel871: And some thermal paste for mounting them together with some screws.
Mar 18, 2016 7:24 AM - WheresWaldo: That would work, with the SSR you can still use PIDTEMPBED
Mar 18, 2016 7:26 AM - WheresWaldo: Dan the only thing I would change in your list is the thermal paste for tape TIM. Paste works best on items that are lapped to an almost mirror-like very flat surface. The tape works better on stuff like this.
Mar 18, 2016 7:29 AM - WheresWaldo: TIM sheets are labeled by W/mK. 6W/mK is good, anything below is crap. There are some real expensive TIM sheets that approach 8W/mK.
Mar 18, 2016 7:30 AM - WheresWaldo: There are a bunch up on Amazon
Mar 18, 2016 7:30 AM - WheresWaldo: http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Therma..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=1D065CMFDZXX6ARJHVKG
Mar 18, 2016 7:35 AM - daniel871: Okay. I think that'll do it.
Mar 18, 2016 7:36 AM - WheresWaldo: That was the first link, is 2 x 2 inches enough?
Mar 18, 2016 7:38 AM - TstarkEngineering: side note anyone familiar with a watlow ez zone controller? I heard you guys talking about watlow
Mar 18, 2016 7:38 AM - WheresWaldo: A lot of PC overclockers are using Fujipoly, their extreme TIM can handle 17W/mK but it's like 3x to 4x the price.
Mar 18, 2016 7:38 AM - Mike Kelly: Dan how'd the print go?
Mar 18, 2016 7:39 AM - daniel871: The relay is 60mm x 45mm, figure covering the majority of the relay bottom will do well for the heat transfer.
Mar 18, 2016 7:39 AM - daniel871: It was still running and still adhered to the bed where the heater was located, but everything outside of the heater was trying to curl up.
Mar 18, 2016 7:41 AM - WheresWaldo: That is what finally did it for me too, I was printing a huge print and PLA even curled up with the bed at only 45°C
Mar 18, 2016 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: Waldo do they make that silicone heater for different voltages? I'm assuming it's custom made so the answer is likely yes
Mar 18, 2016 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: The robo heater is the worst part about that printer
Mar 18, 2016 7:42 AM - WheresWaldo: Yes, I have a 120V and a 12V, you can get 24V too if that's how you swing.
Mar 18, 2016 7:42 AM - Mike Kelly: I was telling jerry they should get a 200w heater that fills the bed area completely
Mar 18, 2016 7:42 AM - Mike Kelly: "I don't think the power supply can handle it"
Mar 18, 2016 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: Uhm im no mathematician but 200w plus 60w is less than 300w
Mar 18, 2016 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: Assuming you're pulling the max current from everything...
Mar 18, 2016 7:44 AM - WheresWaldo: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/709519

 

Mar 18, 2016 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: Oh damn I meant to ask Sanjay to bring me a rumba too. Want to convert my robo so I can do 24v without modding up the Ramps
Mar 18, 2016 7:45 AM - WheresWaldo: So here was my thinking, Cheap Chinese PS must be derated to play it safe, plus even if it could go to rated power output, highly inefficient. So I went with a 40A derated it 25% (just in case) left with 30A safety margin.
Mar 18, 2016 7:46 AM - WheresWaldo: Robo starts with a crappy 30A then derate it to play it safe.
Mar 18, 2016 7:46 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah well we know how loud those crap things are
Mar 18, 2016 7:47 AM - Mike Kelly: But he could try ya know? Not much engineering goes on there I don't think
Mar 18, 2016 7:47 AM - TstarkEngineering: they probably have one there mike
Mar 18, 2016 7:47 AM - Mike Kelly: Lol that's what you think!
Mar 18, 2016 7:47 AM - Mike Kelly: They're more worried about getting their R2 out
Mar 18, 2016 7:47 AM - TstarkEngineering: make em pull it from the bigbox before they go home
Mar 18, 2016 7:48 AM - WheresWaldo: So I wouldn't drive the Robo PS much past 25A
Mar 18, 2016 7:48 AM - TstarkEngineering: psh the amount of time since they first announced the R2 I would be worried too
Mar 18, 2016 7:49 AM - daniel871: The PSU I got on the CES R1 is much quieter than the one on the original R1. I wonder if I got a better one by mistake.
Mar 18, 2016 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: I've heard less complaints about the psu noise so maybe
Mar 18, 2016 7:49 AM - WheresWaldo: Mike, if you don't add an SSR how can you power a 200W heater through the RAMPS board?
Mar 18, 2016 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: On 24v you sure could
Mar 18, 2016 7:50 AM - WheresWaldo: Does RAMPS do 24V?
Mar 18, 2016 7:50 AM - daniel871: Wait, can the Arduino/Ramps handle 24v?
Mar 18, 2016 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: With some modifications
Mar 18, 2016 7:50 AM - daniel871: Oh.
Mar 18, 2016 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: There's a good thread on it over on reprap forums
Mar 18, 2016 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: It doesn't sound impossible I'm just lazy
Mar 18, 2016 7:51 AM - WheresWaldo: I am pretty sure Rumba and RAMbo can without mods.
Mar 18, 2016 7:51 AM - daniel871: Yeah, it's not much different from the hacks people have done for LinuxCNC to control the cheap 24v CNC hobby mills with an Arduino.
Mar 18, 2016 7:51 AM - daniel871: Well, LinuxCNC > Arduino with CNC shield > 24v electronics on hobby CNC.
Mar 18, 2016 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah you can do 24v natively on rumba. It even has onboard 24v to 12v
Mar 18, 2016 7:52 AM - daniel871: I think that Rambo I have could do it as well, but I'm not too crazy about going down that rabbit hole again on the CES Robo.
Mar 18, 2016 7:53 AM - daniel871: I'm less concerned with heating speed on the heated bed than I am with simply extending the area that is heated.
Mar 18, 2016 7:54 AM - WheresWaldo: I went the way parts failures took me. Since the PS died I had to buy one and I found a 41A the same physical size as the more common 30A.
Mar 18, 2016 7:55 AM - daniel871: I think I did that to the original R1, so if the stock PSU fails I still have that one I can rob for parts.
Mar 18, 2016 7:55 AM - WheresWaldo: Then after a month and a bunch of failed prints I got fed up and bought the heater pad.
Mar 18, 2016 7:56 AM - WheresWaldo: And you guys should know from the threads I post, I like to find cheap alternatives. So I went as cheaply as I could go and still feel comfortable about the choices.
Mar 18, 2016 7:56 AM - TstarkEngineering: im interjecting with, was there anymore info recently on the R2 may june is approaching quickly
Mar 18, 2016 8:03 AM - daniel871: And the print failed.
Mar 18, 2016 8:03 AM - daniel871:
Mar 18, 2016 8:04 AM - daniel871: Heavy Y-axis shifting.
Mar 18, 2016 8:05 AM - daniel871: That old problem that plagued the original R1.
Mar 18, 2016 8:08 AM - daniel871: Guess I'm going to have to remove the bottom cover and set up active cooling fans everywhere.
Mar 18, 2016 8:09 AM - daniel871: (or one really big one, I just have some spare 40mm fans that came in a set when I ordered some for the original R1 when doing the dual part fan mod)
Mar 18, 2016 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: Printing multiple objects is hard on any printer
Mar 18, 2016 8:14 AM - WheresWaldo: Dan, I only did one fan, but it was http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ne case fan&qid=1458313821&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2 Made the bottom cutout bigger and never looked at cooling the Arduino/RAMPS again.
Mar 18, 2016 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: Alright I'm off to Chicago. Tell jb to go to mrrf!
Mar 18, 2016 8:23 AM - daniel871: I've got a massive PC case fan I used on the original R1 after removing the bottom cover altogether.
Mar 18, 2016 8:24 AM - daniel871: (and I've had zero trouble printing multiple objects on that i3 I keep bragging about)
Mar 18, 2016 8:55 AM - toymaker: daniel, u should check your belt on the y axis , make sure nothing is getting caught under their
Mar 18, 2016 8:56 AM - toymaker: run the bed back and forth a few times, while physically looking at the motion of the belt underneath
Mar 18, 2016 8:59 AM - toymaker: if u have objects very close to the limit of the bed, the belt can get very tight ( check it out when u slide the bed all the way forward or back) see how much tension is on the belt
Mar 18, 2016 9:03 AM - toymaker: does the bed feel harder to push by hand when it is all the way forward or backwards?
Mar 18, 2016 9:45 AM - Schlomo: So as many of you know i printed a second printer on my Robo
Mar 18, 2016 9:45 AM - Schlomo: With the z height upgrade, i figured it out that I can print the whole thing in 1 piece instead of 12
Mar 18, 2016 9:46 AM - Schlomo: inly issue is, im not sure if its possible to assemble the printer as one piece case... hmm
Mar 18, 2016 10:29 AM - Bill Monroe: oh-lah
Mar 18, 2016 10:33 AM - toymaker: sweet my xbox one kinect sensor arrived
Mar 18, 2016 10:34 AM - toymaker: now to figure out how to start scanning with it
Mar 18, 2016 10:35 AM - toymaker: schlomo post a pic of this printer u printed =)
Mar 18, 2016 10:37 AM - Schlomo:
Mar 18, 2016 10:37 AM - Schlomo:
Mar 18, 2016 10:37 AM - Schlomo:
Mar 18, 2016 10:38 AM - Schlomo: everything is printed minus the metal bits (of course)
Mar 18, 2016 10:38 AM - Schlomo: the top middle and bottom sections of the case are designed to be printed as 4 pieces, but i joined them all together and printed 4 at the same time
Mar 18, 2016 10:39 AM - Schlomo: as in they're one solid print
Mar 18, 2016 10:40 AM - toymaker: pretty kewl , how big are those shafts on the z axis?
Mar 18, 2016 10:59 AM - TstarkEngineering: pretty awesome!
Mar 18, 2016 12:04 PM - AutopsyTurvy: Holy shit
Mar 18, 2016 12:04 PM - AutopsyTurvy: That looks fantastic
Mar 18, 2016 12:05 PM - AutopsyTurvy: How's it print?
Mar 18, 2016 12:12 PM - donhuevo: hola topsy
Mar 18, 2016 1:58 PM - Schlomo: OH sorry was gone
Mar 18, 2016 1:59 PM - Schlomo: The z axis has an 8mm lead screw from my Robo actually
Mar 18, 2016 1:59 PM - Schlomo: its the assembly from the R1 +Plus, just cut down the lead screw to 150mm or so
Mar 18, 2016 2:00 PM - Schlomo: thats not shown in the picture, it originally had just the threaded rod as shown
Mar 18, 2016 2:00 PM - Schlomo: it prints really well actually, its PLA only, i haven't tried PETG on it yet, but i probably will. Its really fast too.
Mar 18, 2016 2:01 PM - Bill Monroe: HEY!
Mar 18, 2016 2:05 PM - Schlomo: Hi bill
Mar 18, 2016 2:06 PM - Bill Monroe: hey mo
Mar 18, 2016 3:58 PM - jim3Dbot: Hey MG..................Considering pulin' the trigger.........Budget @ <$1,600.....Not a 60w...but OK?
Mar 18, 2016 3:58 PM - jim3Dbot: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151785082682?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Mar 18, 2016 3:59 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm been hitting all the 60W vendors with offers
Mar 18, 2016 3:59 PM - Bill Monroe: then counter with $10 lower, but no free shipping... bastards
Mar 18, 2016 4:01 PM - jim3Dbot: Cool, Yeah.....want a 60w also, side doors for longer pieces a bonus...china has 60w around $1600...but want from the states...don't wanta wait...
Mar 18, 2016 4:03 PM - jim3Dbot: Bill, have you located any 60w for under $1800 askin' price, free ship?
Mar 18, 2016 4:32 PM - Bill Monroe: i have not yet
Mar 18, 2016 4:32 PM - Bill Monroe: i think I can though.. many of the vendors are in Corona just north of me..
Mar 18, 2016 4:32 PM - jim3Dbot: Looking like hovering around $2300.......
Mar 18, 2016 4:33 PM - Bill Monroe: i fugure I'll get them down to 1800 by not charging me the $400+ they carge to ship
Mar 18, 2016 4:33 PM - jim3Dbot: If you get a vendor to consider pick-up, you hav-a-chance
Mar 18, 2016 4:33 PM - Bill Monroe: and i'll pick it up.. then get a feel for how their supprt will me
Mar 18, 2016 4:34 PM - Bill Monroe: be
Mar 18, 2016 4:34 PM - jim3Dbot: good play
Mar 18, 2016 4:35 PM - Bill Monroe: i've bought other items that way.. 3 - 1000 digital scales.. i picked them up, they assembled, calibrated and loaded them into my truck for me.. met the chincese owners, very nice
Mar 18, 2016 4:35 PM - Bill Monroe: and they didnt charge shipping
Mar 18, 2016 4:35 PM - Bill Monroe: 1000lb, that is
Mar 18, 2016 4:36 PM - jim3Dbot: CA has almost all laser imports............I'm too far East
Mar 18, 2016 4:36 PM - Bill Monroe: where are you?
Mar 18, 2016 4:37 PM - jim3Dbot: PA
Mar 18, 2016 4:37 PM - Bill Monroe: oooo ya, that's a little east
Mar 18, 2016 4:38 PM - jim3Dbot: 60w 'bout $2300, thennnnn 80w another few hundred....damn
Mar 18, 2016 4:38 PM - jim3Dbot: I'm probably going for the 50w & consider it a starter...
Mar 18, 2016 4:39 PM - Bill Monroe: i hear you can get a 60W bulb to run in the 50W
Mar 18, 2016 4:40 PM - jim3Dbot: True, but its the work area thats 12" x 20" for the 60w
Mar 18, 2016 4:40 PM - Bill Monroe: ah yes.. there's that

 

Mar 18, 2016 4:41 PM - jim3Dbot: thinking about building one, but when you purchase the X/Y, tube, lens, supports, damn you are over $900
Mar 18, 2016 4:41 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.
Mar 18, 2016 4:42 PM - Bill Monroe: i thought about adding a laser to my router but with screw drives, it would only be good for cutting
Mar 18, 2016 4:42 PM - jim3Dbot: Also, I have to consider a somewhat payback in 3-4 months...
Mar 18, 2016 4:42 PM - jim3Dbot: Yeah belts would be faster...I think
Mar 18, 2016 4:45 PM - Bill Monroe: too much inertia in my head...
Mar 18, 2016 4:45 PM - Bill Monroe: ....and the router's is too heavy too
Mar 18, 2016 4:45 PM - jim3Dbot: Oh, I get it........can't whip it around fast enuf
Mar 18, 2016 4:46 PM - jim3Dbot: Thats what she said
Mar 18, 2016 4:47 PM - jim3Dbot: Hey Bill goota run for a while, thanks for the info
Mar 18, 2016 4:47 PM - jim3Dbot: gotta
Mar 18, 2016 4:50 PM - Bill Monroe: take care
Mar 18, 2016 5:55 PM - BryZad: Just ordered another 5.5 lb spool of Pla :/
Mar 18, 2016 7:35 PM - Bill Monroe: that's a big spool

 

Mar 19, 2016 at 6:12 AM - jbigler1986: @Daniel, I'm runnING 24v on my arduino uno with cnc shield. Using universal gcode sender to control it. Haven't had any issues at all with it
Mar 19, 2016 at 7:00 AM - Cbrown: How can I unclog my hotend?
Mar 19, 2016 at 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: Very thin drill bit
Mar 19, 2016 at 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: I have had tons of clogs. They are normally in the heartbreak and not actually in the nozzle tip
Mar 19, 2016 at 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: Heat break
Mar 19, 2016 at 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Hello from Midwest reprap! https://i.imgur.com/SByxLyH.jpg
Mar 19, 2016 at 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Jb you should drive up
Mar 19, 2016 at 10:39 AM - jbigler1986: got the kids
Mar 19, 2016 at 10:39 AM - jbigler1986: lucky dog
Mar 19, 2016 at 10:43 AM - jbigler1986: i need someone with inventor or solidworks skills. i have a stp file that i need to get a part from but i cannot figure out how and solidworks keeps crashing on me
Mar 19, 2016 at 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: Don't think the kids would enjoy it?
Mar 19, 2016 at 11:15 AM - jbigler1986: already have plans. they probably would for a little bit then get bored. then it would make the trip suck
Mar 19, 2016 at 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: That makes sense. Well im happy you're with your kids
Mar 19, 2016 at 11:44 AM - jbigler1986: How is it there though
Mar 19, 2016 at 2:51 PM - MChrisP1: Enjoying my first weekend with a working R1+!!! Printed a fan shroud and now printing riser feet.
Mar 19, 2016 at 4:12 PM - Mike Kelly: it's great, nice to put a face to the name
Mar 19, 2016 at 7:48 PM - Bill Monroe: good evening

 

Mar 20, 2016 at 5:18 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:45 AM - Stoph: Anyone have any chipping of print bed when working with PETG? Got a really nice print first time using PETG, let it cool overnight, removed gently with little force and about a half inch chunk of glass from the bed was embedded on the prints bottom layer :/
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:46 AM - Stoph: Had Woodglue slurry as adhesion medium
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:46 AM - Stoph: This is the first print after having replaced the shorted heating circuit on the bed
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:48 AM - Printed Solid: ya. PETG does that. sad but true.
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:48 AM - Printed Solid: hold on. I have a solution for you.
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:48 AM - Printed Solid: http://richrap.blogspot.com/2016/02/glass-3d-print-build-surfaces-are-not.html
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:50 AM - Printed Solid: You could also toss on a sheet of buildtak, but be careful to change your gcode so that the nozzle is cool when doing the autolevel so you don't leave divots in the material.
Mar 20, 2016 at 6:04 AM - Stoph: Good link! I tried buildtak but its longevity left something to be desired
Mar 20, 2016 at 6:17 AM - Stoph: Think I have some screen protectors lying around. Will stick in the area I plan to print and see how I go
Mar 20, 2016 at 7:05 AM - toymaker: i got my kinect v2 scanning....
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:10 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:23 AM - NFOsec: Greetings Bill.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:23 AM - NFOsec: toy, using what for software?
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:25 AM - Bill Monroe: NFO
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:26 AM - NFOsec: How's life Bill?
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:27 AM - Bill Monroe: pretty good. got new job that's a perfect fit, been working on my house.. 2.0 is here.. How about you?
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:40 AM - toymaker: so far ive tested 3d scan and kscan3d
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:41 AM - Bill Monroe: Toy
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:41 AM - toymaker: yes sir
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:41 AM - toymaker: morn
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:42 AM - toymaker: kscan3d looks lke it takes 1 scan at a time, then pieces all the images to make the complete scan
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:42 AM - NFOsec: Yeah, it's a little bit on the slower side of things.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:42 AM - toymaker: 3d scan which is part of microsoft 3d builder app, scans in real time
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:43 AM - NFOsec: don't think I've used that.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:43 AM - toymaker: im using a pretty powerful pc.... 6700k overlcocked to 4.5 and gtx 970 sc
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:44 AM - NFOsec: I have both Skanect and Sense...
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:44 AM - toymaker: from what ive seen only 3d scan and kscan3d support the v2
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:45 AM - toymaker: 3d scan has pretty much zero options.... and a few sliders for res and scan size
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:45 AM - NFOsec: I meant I don't think I've used the scan feature on the 3D Builder app. may give that a shot.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:45 AM - NFOsec: yeah.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:46 AM - NFOsec: kd was o.k., Sense (from 3DSystems) is built off the model of Kinect, and Skanect has some decent tweaking, but lighting and speed are everything.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:46 AM - toymaker: but the scans of people turn out pretty good, i need a turntable next
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:46 AM - toymaker: yeah, i think sense only works with the v1
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:47 AM - NFOsec: there was an awesome video on YouTube regarding the evaluation of Sense scanner, check that out because it gives you the MythBuster approach to engineering the best turntable.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:47 AM - toymaker: i will, i build a turntable in the next week or so
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:47 AM - NFOsec: 3DSystems boasts some new scanner, but Sense v2 probably isn't much more than a Kinect v2.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:47 AM - NFOsec: watch the video though because it shows you the pitfalls and advantages to specific layouts.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:48 AM - toymaker: i paid 152$ for the v2 and cable adapter
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:48 AM - toymaker: i will for sure today
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:48 AM - NFOsec: not bad.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:49 AM - toymaker: when i actually get a decent 360 scan of somethig iw ill share the stl so u guys can check out the resolution
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:49 AM - toymaker: i paid for 1000$ for the computer minus the gtx 970 sc
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:50 AM - toymaker: and i hear the scan quality is directly related to how good your gpu is
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:51 AM - Bill Monroe: do either of you guys have turbocad?
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:51 AM - toymaker: no sry blll
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:52 AM - toymaker: i thought u used sw
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:52 AM - Bill Monroe: s'alright.. someone sent be drawgings and included the turbocad file, which I dont have..
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:52 AM - Bill Monroe: I do.. i'll have to redo it in SW
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:53 AM - toymaker: cant theyjust export to a nuetral fiile type
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:53 AM - toymaker: dxf?
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:53 AM - Bill Monroe: they did.. really crude. is turbocad 2D only?
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:54 AM - toymaker: no i just looked it... looks 3dish
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:54 AM - toymaker: tell them u want a a dwg
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:55 AM - toymaker: http://www.file-extensions.org/turbocad-file-extensions
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:59 AM - Bill Monroe: bah, I think i'll just do my own design.. the more I look at this the less I like it
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:48 AM - toymaker: lol, i found the the perfect thing to use my failed prints for.... target practice with bb gun
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:50 AM - toymaker: kind of interesting to see how far the pellet penetrates before getting caught in the infill cross hatch
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:52 AM - Bill Monroe: ok, now I wish I had failed prints to shoot at
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:52 AM - toymaker: and enough well placed shots blows plastic all over the place like mini missiles
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:53 AM - toymaker: its almost as muh fun destroying the print, as printing it =)
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:54 AM - Bill Monroe: nothing is more fun that shooting at cats
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:56 AM - Bill Monroe: well, other things are more fun.. but as far as challenging target shooting goes....
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:56 AM - toymaker: i ve personally never shot any living creature expect that a humming bird once... lol
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:56 AM - toymaker: which i nailed....
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:57 AM - toymaker: and felt bad afterwarsd... when i was like 12
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:57 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. humming bird culling doesnt have much of a benefit than I can think of
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:57 AM - toymaker: i didnt think i would hit it
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:58 AM - toymaker: good sight picture, steady aim, held breath, slowly squeezed trigger.... dead humming bird at about 25 ft
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:58 AM - Bill Monroe: in Joshua Tree, I shoot Lynx, and squirrels, but just harass the coyotes that come on the property
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:59 AM - toymaker: ive always been a pretty good shot, i would qualify expert everytime at the rifle range
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:00 AM - Bill Monroe: my eyes arent good enough for long distances anymore, but I used be varsity
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:01 AM - toymaker: i can probably still hit a target a 300m with iron sights
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:01 AM - Bill Monroe: id only get that if I was lucky
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:01 AM - Bill Monroe: <-- scope is my freind
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:02 AM - toymaker: http://www.colt.com/Catalog/Rifles/LE6920-Series i got a reg 6920 with a few mods...
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:02 AM - toymaker: i need a scope lol
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:03 AM - Bill Monroe: I have a bushmaster target.. sah-WEET rifle
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:04 AM - toymaker: do u ever watcvh the hickock 45 yotube channel?
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:04 AM - toymaker: https://www.youtube.com/user/hickok45
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:05 AM - Bill Monroe: ive seen him.. not impressed
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:05 AM - Bill Monroe: a little too redneck for me
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:05 AM - toymaker: i love my rednecks
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:07 AM - toymaker: my dad looks a slight smaller version of him.. my dad is only 6'4"
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:07 AM - toymaker: he is 6'8
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:08 AM - toymaker: im only 6'3 around 180
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:12 AM - Bill Monroe: ok.. i'm gunna go do a little more detail work in my family room.. back in a bit
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:13 AM - Mike Kelly:
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:13 AM - toymaker: nice... i think im gonna print a bump stock
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:14 AM - toymaker: kewl pic... u in the middle?
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:14 AM - Mike Kelly: Yup
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:15 AM - toymaker: u look like my friend scott... =).... he is a complete metalworking machining badass
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:16 AM - toymaker: nice your losing your hair in the front.... im losing it in the back
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:19 AM - toymaker: how big is that delta behind u ?
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:24 AM - Mike Kelly: Ugh 9' of build height?
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:24 AM - Mike Kelly: Hence why most my profile pics I'm wearing a hat
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:25 AM - toymaker: i noticed that =) u look all grown up in this pic
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:25 AM - toymaker: what was that e3d thingy.. u mentioned a month ago or so
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:26 AM - toymaker: damn xyz stole my damn idea and patent it....
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:27 AM - toymaker: http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160...g-patent-approvals-from-us-patent-office.html

 

Mar 20, 2016 at 10:27 AM - toymaker: for the revolving wiper
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:28 AM - toymaker: my other idea was to somehow mount some mini servos to use a wiper for each nozzle
Mar 20, 2016 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: I posted a picture yesterday
Mar 20, 2016 at 11:12 AM - toymaker: someone needs to invent a variable nozzle that can open to diff size and close
Mar 20, 2016 at 12:23 PM - jbigler1986: Ha. Good luck with that
Mar 20, 2016 at 12:26 PM - jbigler1986: MK is that like a bondtech rival?
Mar 20, 2016 at 1:08 PM - Mike Kelly: Nope not a bondtech style. Too expensive to make those
Mar 20, 2016 at 1:09 PM - Mike Kelly: But besides that it's got everything you could want in an extruder
Mar 20, 2016 at 1:12 PM - Mike Kelly: Pssst...
Mar 20, 2016 at 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: Got any info on them yet?
Mar 20, 2016 at 3:33 PM - Stoph: Anyone have any inclination to upgrade the glass print bed to an aluminum one? Not sure if I A) try making to with chipped bed, B) buy a replacement stock bed, or C) try upgrading to a stronger platform
Mar 20, 2016 at 4:22 PM - Mike Kelly: Aluminum is an annoying bed surface
Mar 20, 2016 at 4:22 PM - Mike Kelly: Jb what do you want to know?
Mar 20, 2016 at 4:28 PM - jbigler1986: Drive gears and what it uses as tensioner
Mar 20, 2016 at 6:36 PM - Mike Kelly: 3:1 gearing and has a captive bolt with a moving nut to adjust the tension on an idler arm
Mar 20, 2016 at 6:39 PM - jbigler1986: Running the cnc from raspberry pi now
Mar 20, 2016 at 6:40 PM - jbigler1986: Arduino uno with cnc shield and raspberry pi with bcnc. Works awesome and small. Just need to make a case to house it all now. Have fans for the case already. Will design that tomorrow. Not sure if I want to use the cnc or 3d printer to make it

 

Mar 21, 2016 6:09 AM - JeffTheMess: morning roboneers....
Mar 21, 2016 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: Hey Jeff
Mar 21, 2016 6:09 AM - JeffTheMess: 500 buck for the r1 original
Mar 21, 2016 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: ?
Mar 21, 2016 6:10 AM - Schlomo: morning
Mar 21, 2016 6:11 AM - Bill Monroe: mo
Mar 21, 2016 6:11 AM - Bill Monroe:
Mar 21, 2016 6:11 AM - Schlomo: very nice
Mar 21, 2016 6:11 AM - Schlomo: too bad it wont fit in my 1 car garage shop
Mar 21, 2016 6:12 AM - Bill Monroe: sure it would.. just dont put the car in there
Mar 21, 2016 6:12 AM - Schlomo: the car already isnt in there...
Mar 21, 2016 6:12 AM - JeffTheMess: http://robo3d.com/r1-original-personal-3d-printer/
Mar 21, 2016 6:12 AM - Schlomo: i have a cabinet table saw, bandsaw, dust collection system, robo beast, some storage shelving, 2 kayaks, full 10gallon homebrew setup all stored in there
Mar 21, 2016 6:12 AM - Bill Monroe: oh hmmm maybe we need to find a hoarder's anonymous chapter in your area?
Mar 21, 2016 6:13 AM - Schlomo: not to mention all my power tools
Mar 21, 2016 6:13 AM - Schlomo: lol
Mar 21, 2016 6:13 AM - Schlomo: its not hoarding when all of the tools get used! I just need a bigger shop thats all
Mar 21, 2016 6:13 AM - Schlomo: the wife and I are actually looking right now at new places so hopefully i get my bigger shop soon
Mar 21, 2016 6:14 AM - Bill Monroe: I can relate.. I have THREE 2 car garages, a jumbo hanger, and I'm building an 1100 sq ft shop, with an office mezzanine
Mar 21, 2016 6:15 AM - Schlomo: lucky sob
Mar 21, 2016 6:16 AM - Schlomo:
Mar 21, 2016 6:16 AM - Schlomo: Well i guess its probably not luck unless you won the lottery
Mar 21, 2016 6:16 AM - Bill Monroe: well.. one garage actually has a tractor, golf cart, and property maint stuff
Mar 21, 2016 6:17 AM - Bill Monroe: another is 2.0's crafting shop
Mar 21, 2016 6:17 AM - Bill Monroe: and the laundry
Mar 21, 2016 6:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm about ready to finally pull the trigger on this mill...
Mar 21, 2016 6:22 AM - Schlomo: do it
Mar 21, 2016 6:22 AM - Schlomo: i'll be the little devil on your shoulder
Mar 21, 2016 6:22 AM - Bill Monroe: heh
Mar 21, 2016 6:22 AM - Schlomo: "Just do it man, think of everything you could use it for"
Mar 21, 2016 6:24 AM - Bill Monroe: i'd like to be more comfortable that it's still possible to do the little adjustment-jobs one can do with an old-fashioned hand-cranker
Mar 21, 2016 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: it has "conversational programming" so that, along with a digital probe is probably the answer
Mar 21, 2016 7:09 AM - Lytmup: Hey guys does any one know what the connections are called for the fans and thermistor as well as the hotend?
Mar 21, 2016 7:09 AM - Bill Monroe: you mean the plug connectors?
Mar 21, 2016 7:10 AM - Lytmup: Yes sir!
Mar 21, 2016 7:10 AM - Bill Monroe: hmmm been awhile.. I bought mine on amazon.. they're cheap
Mar 21, 2016 7:10 AM - Bill Monroe: let me see if I can find them
Mar 21, 2016 7:10 AM - Lytmup: that's what I was hoping too! I would like to have them on hand
Mar 21, 2016 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: eh, they dont keep history back that far
Mar 21, 2016 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: send a note to jbigler he'll remember
Mar 21, 2016 7:13 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/10Pairs-13cm-2Pins-Female-Connector/dp/B00MJVKKKI
Mar 21, 2016 7:13 AM - daniel871: Those.
Mar 21, 2016 7:14 AM - Lytmup: Awesome!! Do you also know what type of fuse the Robo needs?
Mar 21, 2016 7:17 AM - daniel871: These are the fuses used in the main power switch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XVSL20K
Mar 21, 2016 7:18 AM - daniel871: Not sure about the other fuses on the control board itself.
Mar 21, 2016 7:20 AM - Lytmup: I think my main fuse blew out last night. After the autoleveling sequence it would stop of point 9 and then I powered it off to let it "rest" and it never came back on..........
Mar 21, 2016 7:22 AM - Lytmup: Do you guys recommend any particular thermistor for an E3D V6 hot end?
Mar 21, 2016 7:24 AM - daniel871: PrintedSolid sells a screw-in thermistor that's easier to install than the one that E3D sells with it, but I think that it is limited to about 250C on temps.
Mar 21, 2016 7:24 AM - daniel871: There's also the PT100 sensor kit from E3D, but that's a little advanced.
Mar 21, 2016 7:25 AM - daniel871: I've got one wired up on a spare and ready to install when the stock hexagon dies.
Mar 21, 2016 7:25 AM - daniel871: (with the usual firmware changes to tell the printer what it's using).
Mar 21, 2016 7:28 AM - Lytmup: With the R1Plus do you need to do any firmware changes?
Mar 21, 2016 7:35 AM - daniel871: Just the thermistor type in the firmware. If it's the E3D thermistor, it changes from 1 to 5. If it's the screw-in, no change, if it's the PT100, some more substantial changes are made.
Mar 21, 2016 7:37 AM - Lytmup: It was the thermistor that slides in and then a screw and washer hold it in place.
Mar 21, 2016 7:40 AM - jbigler1986: Jst connectors is what they are called
Mar 21, 2016 7:40 AM - daniel871: That thermistor should be changed from 1 to 5 in the firmware.
Mar 21, 2016 7:40 AM - Lytmup: Cool
Mar 21, 2016 7:41 AM - Lytmup: Also have you guys ever been able to pick those fuses up locally? Home Depot or anything?
Mar 21, 2016 7:41 AM - daniel871: I've never bothered since I have Amazon Prime.
Mar 21, 2016 7:42 AM - daniel871: Also because the nearest Home Depot/Lowe's is about thirty minutes of driving away from where I live.
Mar 21, 2016 7:42 AM - Lytmup: Me too but I feel I am going through withdrawal without my Robo!!
Mar 21, 2016 7:42 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/lG3fqdk.gifv
Mar 21, 2016 7:43 AM - Schlomo: hows your robo going Dan?
Mar 21, 2016 7:43 AM - Schlomo: you had the CES from hell right?
Mar 21, 2016 7:43 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Mar 21, 2016 7:44 AM - daniel871: It prints, but I've yet to get an actual usable print out of it.
Mar 21, 2016 7:44 AM - Schlomo: lol
Mar 21, 2016 7:44 AM - Schlomo: whats wrong with it now?
Mar 21, 2016 7:44 AM - daniel871: Same stuff. It'll get about six hours into a print and then layer shift.
Mar 21, 2016 7:48 AM - Lytmup: Anyone know if Amazon carries the Robo power supply?
Mar 21, 2016 7:50 AM - daniel871: I used this one on my older Robo when that one's power supply died. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EIANT2
Mar 21, 2016 7:54 AM - Lytmup: That looks just like it!
Mar 21, 2016 7:55 AM - daniel871: They aren't exactly unique.
Mar 21, 2016 7:59 AM - daniel871:
Mar 21, 2016 8:03 AM - Lytmup: I am just glad it isn't something that I have to wait a week to receive!!
Mar 21, 2016 8:28 AM - donhuevo: that layer shift may get fixed by upping the amps on the stepper driver a bit.
Mar 21, 2016 8:32 AM - daniel871: I know don, it's just aggravating that what is supposed to be Robo's best machine is being outperformed by something half the cost.
Mar 21, 2016 8:32 AM - daniel871: Printed some of those V29 whistles on my i3 and that thing wasn't kidding about them being loud.
Mar 21, 2016 8:33 AM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1179160
Mar 21, 2016 8:35 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 21, 2016 8:37 AM - donhuevo: I finally got my printer to spit some plastic this weekend
Mar 21, 2016 8:48 AM - JeffTheMess: the robo?
Mar 21, 2016 8:52 AM - donhuevo: the one I've been building around some old robo parts I had
Mar 21, 2016 8:52 AM - donhuevo: well, the bed glass anyway
Mar 21, 2016 8:53 AM - donhuevo:
Mar 21, 2016 8:54 AM - JeffTheMess: she naked don!
Mar 21, 2016 8:54 AM - donhuevo: that she is
Mar 21, 2016 8:59 AM - toymaker: nice don, i really dig the aluminum frame
Mar 21, 2016 8:59 AM - toymaker: don do the ballscrew y axis upgrade
Mar 21, 2016 9:00 AM - donhuevo: I may replace the threaded rods at some point
Mar 21, 2016 9:00 AM - Mike Kelly: Slick!
Mar 21, 2016 9:01 AM - donhuevo: prints are ugly at the moment. Still a lot to dial in
Mar 21, 2016 9:01 AM - donhuevo: First time printing with a volcano too so uncharted territory there
Mar 21, 2016 9:09 AM - toymaker: did u balance it? cog?
Mar 21, 2016 9:12 AM - toymaker: for instance... when i made my aluminum framed 3d printed... i calculated the weight of every component
Mar 21, 2016 9:13 AM - toymaker: determined where the cog on the x-axis and then designed it so it was completely balanced
Mar 21, 2016 9:16 AM - donhuevo: que?
Mar 21, 2016 9:16 AM - donhuevo: oh... center of gravity
Mar 21, 2016 9:17 AM - toymaker: yea
Mar 21, 2016 9:17 AM - donhuevo: the v rails that the idler ends ride on help to keep it level but I may put a counterweight opposite the x stepper if needed

 

Mar 21, 2016 9:18 AM - toymaker: ideally your threaded rods should be inline with the cog of the x-axis
Mar 21, 2016 9:19 AM - donhuevo: I'm happy to have the x belt in between the two x smooth rods
Mar 21, 2016 9:21 AM - toymaker: i also took the time... to center the x-axis belt on the cog
Mar 21, 2016 9:22 AM - donhuevo: have any pics?
Mar 21, 2016 9:22 AM - toymaker: sure give me a sec
Mar 21, 2016 9:29 AM - toymaker: http://imgur.com/Sdv4t2q
Mar 21, 2016 9:29 AM - toymaker: http://imgur.com/S1g7d4i
Mar 21, 2016 9:31 AM - toymaker: the threaded rod is excatly the lined up with the cog for the entire x-axis gantry
Mar 21, 2016 9:31 AM - toymaker: as well as balanced left/right to account for the stepper on one side
Mar 21, 2016 9:37 AM - Lytmup: Hey guys one more thing. I am fairly new so please forgive. I need to change the thermistor setting from 1 to 5 correct? I have the Arduino software installed already but is there a way I can send manual updates to the firmware?
Mar 21, 2016 9:40 AM - JeffTheMess: you will rewrite the firmware
Mar 21, 2016 9:50 AM - Lytmup: Can I do this from S3d and send a command to change it?
Mar 21, 2016 9:51 AM - JeffTheMess: no must be done on arduinos ide
Mar 21, 2016 9:55 AM - donhuevo: toy, that's pretty!
Mar 21, 2016 10:40 AM - daniel871: Well, Jeff, you could do an M305 if you knew the P, T, R & B values and then send and M500 after that, but I don't know if that info is available.
Mar 21, 2016 10:41 AM - daniel871: Example: M305 P1 T100000 R1000 B4200 This tells the firmware that for heater 1 (P parameter: 0 = heated bed, 1 = first extruder) the thermistor 25C resistance (T parameter) is 100Kohms, the thermistor series resistance (R parameter) is 1Kohms, the thermistor beta (B parameter) is 4200.
Mar 21, 2016 10:42 AM - daniel871: That's just the example on the Reprap Wiki and supposedly works with Marlin.
Mar 21, 2016 11:10 AM - Bill Monroe: alright, who's in charge here?
Mar 21, 2016 11:11 AM - JeffTheMess: no one its....The Purge
Mar 21, 2016 11:26 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/ClHRNeH.gifv
Mar 21, 2016 11:27 AM - JeffTheMess: too close
Mar 21, 2016 1:56 PM - Bill Monroe: is contemplating... "the purge"
Mar 21, 2016 2:05 PM - jbigler1986: What's going on here
Mar 21, 2016 2:05 PM - jbigler1986: Don that looks good. What speeds are you printing at
Mar 21, 2016 4:55 PM - jbigler1986:
Mar 21, 2016 4:56 PM - jbigler1986: Cnc electronics. Not completely done yet
Mar 21, 2016 6:29 PM - danzca6: I wonder if this would work well for cleaning linear bearings and such? They have a smaller version as well for less $$. http://www.harborfreight.com/25-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-95563.html
Mar 21, 2016 7:07 PM - jim3Dbot: Yeah.....Just ordered this laser.........couldn't swing the 60w but 50w will work....ebay item 250957580375
Mar 21, 2016 7:15 PM - danzca6: Jim, congrats...and I am now jealous of you even more...dog gone it you laser people
Mar 21, 2016 7:17 PM - danzca6: did you do a make an offer deal?
Mar 21, 2016 8:10 PM - jim3Dbot: Danz....Yeah 3x, <$100, no....<$50,no...<$23,no...only 3 offers allowed,ebay thing..full price paid.
Mar 21, 2016 8:12 PM - jim3Dbot: Chked..alibaba...amazon...etc.....I think when the 50w &60w are depleted the price is going up...Higher if now purchased anywhere, other than CA import cities
Mar 21, 2016 8:13 PM - jim3Dbot: Bill Monroe said he is in the market 60w....only seeing $10 drop...demand is high........
Mar 21, 2016 8:15 PM - jim3Dbot: I'm thinkin'.....buy the 50w, 12" x 20" work area, get pay back....then build your own 80watter...thanks fer Askin'

Mar 22, 2016 5:16 AM - JeffTheMess: morning bill
Mar 22, 2016 5:17 AM - Bill Monroe: Hey Jeff.. what's shakin?
Mar 22, 2016 5:18 AM - JeffTheMess: unfortunately the robo
Mar 22, 2016 5:18 AM - Bill Monroe: eh.. it's just a machine... fix it
Mar 22, 2016 5:19 AM - JeffTheMess: i wish I had time
Mar 22, 2016 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: I know that feeling
Mar 22, 2016 5:19 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah hows the Lcnc
Mar 22, 2016 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: stalled.. i need someone who knows what they're doing
Mar 22, 2016 5:21 AM - Bill Monroe: it's amazing the gap between those that know it and those that dont.. and there's precious little useful information for those who dont
Mar 22, 2016 5:22 AM - Bill Monroe: it's like uber-geeks have consipired to keep it a secret from all except other uber geeks
Mar 22, 2016 5:23 AM - JeffTheMess: lol i know the feeling
Mar 22, 2016 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm thinking there just arent enough peopl using it yet to hit the critical mass for someone knowledgable enough to write about it
Mar 22, 2016 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: but it's very clear that this is one sweet program
Mar 22, 2016 5:26 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, i can bet someone fully documented it but never really put it out there
Mar 22, 2016 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: and it doesnt have the one problem that all Mach3 users expereince but dont want to talk about
Mar 22, 2016 5:27 AM - JeffTheMess: which is.....
Mar 22, 2016 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe: at some random time.. it just stops.
Mar 22, 2016 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: and the only way to restart, is to reboot
Mar 22, 2016 5:28 AM - JeffTheMess: ahh
Mar 22, 2016 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: they never have been fully able to keep windows from mucking with their code...
Mar 22, 2016 5:29 AM - JeffTheMess: damn windows
Mar 22, 2016 5:29 AM - Bill Monroe: which is why the FDA wont allow guys like me to use windows-based software to run critical medical devices
Mar 22, 2016 5:30 AM - JeffTheMess: im glad about that
Mar 22, 2016 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, I dont know anyone that would consider using windows on a medical device.. just out of concious.
Mar 22, 2016 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm goig to move forward with the machine purchase though... eventually I'll figure out what I need to know
Mar 22, 2016 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: so, got big plans for today?
Mar 22, 2016 5:33 AM - JeffTheMess: well after work i NEED to figure out why my printer is dropping its temp during printing (Again)
Mar 22, 2016 5:34 AM - Bill Monroe: hmm
Mar 22, 2016 5:34 AM - JeffTheMess: through usb and sd card it does it
Mar 22, 2016 5:35 AM - JeffTheMess: on occasion
Mar 22, 2016 5:39 AM - Bill Monroe: i know you will solve it
Mar 22, 2016 5:39 AM - JeffTheMess: i have no choice
Mar 22, 2016 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: ive never had any mysterious failures on the robo that I can recall
Mar 22, 2016 5:45 AM - JeffTheMess: lucky you, i get problems every 3-4 months usually the same
Mar 22, 2016 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: i dunno.. i think it's because I control variables
Mar 22, 2016 5:46 AM - Bill Monroe: switching to different plastics, changing nozzle sizes.. etc..
Mar 22, 2016 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: only do PLA on the robo.. only two vendors, and limited colors (never white for instance)
Mar 22, 2016 5:47 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, i could do that but if its working it works, this problem should be fixed with fixing the PID
Mar 22, 2016 5:47 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah i only use hatchbox pla nothing else
Mar 22, 2016 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: only 4. nozzle, in fact, I haven changed the nozzle in over a year
Mar 22, 2016 5:49 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 22, 2016 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: i made a seperate machine for ABS
Mar 22, 2016 5:50 AM - Bill Monroe: man, watching CNC machines work is hypnotizing
Mar 22, 2016 5:50 AM - JeffTheMess: this is why i need to finish my 3dlp i wont have these type of problems
Mar 22, 2016 5:51 AM - JeffTheMess: you should make a 6 axis cnc
Mar 22, 2016 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: oooo that would be fun
Mar 22, 2016 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: the software would be a problem though
Mar 22, 2016 5:52 AM - JeffTheMess: probably cost an arm and leg
Mar 22, 2016 5:52 AM - Bill Monroe: that's be my guess too
Mar 22, 2016 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: i saw a guy using a 5 axis water jet to make motorcycle fenders.. that's was cool
Mar 22, 2016 5:53 AM - JeffTheMess: now thats something worth watching
Mar 22, 2016 6:16 AM - daniel871: Thinking one of these would be a nifty print removal tool. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WFMGYK
Mar 22, 2016 6:17 AM - JeffTheMess: seems legit to use
Mar 22, 2016 6:17 AM - daniel871: Also for it's intended use.
Mar 22, 2016 6:23 AM - JeffTheMess: here we go http://www.sainsmart.com/diy-6-axis...ega2560.html?gclid=CImfxIix1MsCFUgehgod8ToEmg
Mar 22, 2016 6:30 AM - daniel871: Hm.
Mar 22, 2016 6:31 AM - daniel871: I like that the one 5-star review says "Useless without instructions!"
Mar 22, 2016 6:34 AM - JeffTheMess: still pretty cool, but he is right
Mar 22, 2016 8:48 AM - Lytmup: It was my fuse that was out! Now it works!!
Mar 22, 2016 8:49 AM - JeffTheMess: goodie
Mar 22, 2016 10:55 AM - jbigler1986: Sup Playas
Mar 22, 2016 11:01 AM - danzca6: wondering if this is worth $80...http://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers...rce=cj&utm_medium=affiliate&from=affiliate_cj
Mar 22, 2016 11:02 AM - danzca6: pretty low power, but could be a fun toy I guess
Mar 22, 2016 11:03 AM - daniel871: I'm cracking up over some of the Engrish.
Mar 22, 2016 11:03 AM - daniel871: "The Rubber Be Band is convenient"
Mar 22, 2016 11:03 AM - danzca6: yeah, that made me laugh as well
Mar 22, 2016 11:34 AM - daniel871: Rob Ford died and apparently people think this is a bad thing.
Mar 22, 2016 12:13 PM - danzca6: http://3dprint.com/125524/staples-robo-3d-printer/
Mar 22, 2016 12:13 PM - danzca6: Looks like Staples will be carrying the Robo now
Mar 22, 2016 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: Hello robonauts
Mar 22, 2016 12:20 PM - danzca6: Good afternoon Mr Kelly
Mar 22, 2016 12:20 PM - danzca6: any news from the MRRF
Mar 22, 2016 12:29 PM - JeffTheMess: hey Mike
Mar 22, 2016 12:39 PM - Mike Kelly: Titan extruder was probably the coolest thing. I posted some pictures and videos of it over on the bigbox forums
Mar 22, 2016 12:41 PM - danzca6: was it worth the trip? I see PS was there as well
Mar 22, 2016 12:46 PM - danzca6: did you make it out to Boston for some house shopping?
Mar 22, 2016 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: What makes ROBO 3D unique and what has attracted consumers is the quality of our products,
Mar 22, 2016 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Lmao
Mar 22, 2016 1:31 PM - daniel871: Yeah, my mind is boggled by that.
Mar 22, 2016 1:33 PM - daniel871: Meanwhile, my early jaunts into printing ABS on the i3-clone have been pretty successful so far. Printed a bunch of those V29 whistles yesterday evening and left a long overnight/part of the day print going on a freestanding T-rex model (which we'll see how that went when I get home).
Mar 22, 2016 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I printed one of those whistles yesterday. Loud as hell
Mar 22, 2016 1:38 PM - daniel871: I know.
Mar 22, 2016 1:38 PM - daniel871: Supposedly they float, too, but I haven't tested that yet.
Mar 22, 2016 1:38 PM - daniel871: This is the generic T-rex I'm printing. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182334
Mar 22, 2016 1:40 PM - jbigler1986: Most exciting is the unveiling of the R2 and R2 Mini — new 3D printers on the horizon from the company.
Mar 22, 2016 1:40 PM - jbigler1986: The myth continues
Mar 22, 2016 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: Good for them that they are in staples and best buy now though
Mar 22, 2016 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: If QC can get taken care of there will be a ton of happy customers
Mar 22, 2016 6:28 PM - Mike Kelly: who wants to take bets on if they "unveil" an R2 and R2 mini next year as well
Mar 22, 2016 6:29 PM - Mike Kelly: Dan, totally worth the trip, and yeah I did make it to boston last week, saw a bunch of houses but only one really jumped out to me and even it had issues
Mar 22, 2016 6:30 PM - Mike Kelly: Daniel, I've been thinking and I'm pretty sure your warping issues are caused by the crummy heated bed the robo has on it

 

Mar 23, 2016 4:28 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Mar 23, 2016 5:00 AM - JeffTheMess: morning roboneers
Mar 23, 2016 5:01 AM - JeffTheMess: for you bill http://www.sainsmart.com/diy-6-axis...or-arduino-uno-mega2560.html#customer-reviews
Mar 23, 2016 5:11 AM - Bill Monroe: Hey Jeff
Mar 23, 2016 5:12 AM - JeffTheMess: how goes it bill
Mar 23, 2016 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, saw that arm.. it's just a toy
Mar 23, 2016 5:12 AM - daniel871: Whenever you come back MK, I'm pretty much in agreement regarding the heated bed. I've got the DC-DC relay and heated bed on order that Waldo upgraded his Robo with as well as the little heater and controller that Schlomo set up on his Robo.
Mar 23, 2016 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: it goes OK, just got back from my hanger - had to pick up the enclosure my homebrew printer spent the night making
Mar 23, 2016 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: you?
Mar 23, 2016 5:17 AM - JeffTheMess: not too bad
Mar 23, 2016 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm making my 4th version of my coyote deterrent device
Mar 23, 2016 5:55 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Mar 23, 2016 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: was at a chinese eatery on chinese new year.. california has intense laws against fireworks so they had the electronic firecrackers that sounded and even smelled real. they also had strobes on them.. found out you can get them from special effects places
Mar 23, 2016 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: so I got some.. now making a box to hold them in position at the usual coyote ingress points.. connecting them to my light beams...
Mar 23, 2016 6:17 AM - danzca6: Bill, would this be inline with what you use to clean your bearings? http://amzn.com/B0018IIPFK
Mar 23, 2016 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: hey! that looks good... decent price too good job, Dan
Mar 23, 2016 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: i guess I'd want to assure that putting solvent in it wont hurt anything. I use paint thinner to clean the dirt and denatured alcohol to remove the paint thinner
Mar 23, 2016 6:54 AM - daniel871: Welp, Robo got put on the Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day, so they're going to make some decent money.
Mar 23, 2016 6:54 AM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0142PHFVU..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JG2KQ9VQ7WQ65X6944Z
Mar 23, 2016 6:59 AM - danzca6: so with all of these sales on the R1 and the refurb deals they have been pushing, makes me think they are trying to get rid of inventory to make way for the R2....maybe...maybe not
Mar 23, 2016 7:00 AM - danzca6: Not a bad deal for a brand new one though
Mar 23, 2016 7:01 AM - danzca6: Thanks Bill...I'm going to order it and give it a shot. Lots of things I could use it on around the house. I'll let you know how it turns out
Mar 23, 2016 7:02 AM - danzca6: daniel, the pics on the amazon ad are so old...wonder what would arrive at the door if ordered. Hopefully an R1 +Plus
Mar 23, 2016 7:02 AM - daniel871: They say R1+Plus on the listing, but yeah. Would be funny/terrible if a bunch of people were actually getting the Refurbished R1.
Mar 23, 2016 7:03 AM - danzca6: I mean the bed still has screw holes in the pic
Mar 23, 2016 7:04 AM - danzca6: crazy...
Mar 23, 2016 7:07 AM - AutopsyTurvy: I'm finally almost done with my cosplay and can get back to printing fun stuff.
Mar 23, 2016 7:07 AM - daniel871: Well, one of the pics, the other pics show the more current bed.
Mar 23, 2016 7:07 AM - AutopsyTurvy: So I think I need to print something completely pointless and frivolous.
Mar 23, 2016 7:09 AM - daniel871: Pointless and frivolous, eh?
Mar 23, 2016 7:09 AM - daniel871: Hm.
Mar 23, 2016 7:10 AM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=pointless&sa=
Mar 23, 2016 7:10 AM - daniel871: Interesting results.
Mar 23, 2016 7:10 AM - daniel871: Hey! Here you go! http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:306139
Mar 23, 2016 7:11 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Ohhh, that is a good one.
Mar 23, 2016 7:11 AM - daniel871: Figure out how to print that on the Robo without it going to Hell.
Mar 23, 2016 7:11 AM - daniel871: (it was modeled for SLA/SLS printing)
Mar 23, 2016 7:13 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Also need to get my daughter's banana case printed, since somehow, there were none I could find for free.
Mar 23, 2016 7:13 AM - AutopsyTurvy: (As in, free models - found one I could pay $4 but I could buy a plastic case for that.)
Mar 23, 2016 7:17 AM - daniel871: Also, this NWS thing happened and is hilarious. http://i.imgur.com/FJqKVhc.jpg
Mar 23, 2016 7:22 AM - JeffTheMess: fake pic but very funny
Mar 23, 2016 7:29 AM - daniel871: Seems like the kind of thing Barry would do if it wouldn't result in even more outrage from certain people (though why he still cares at all is beyond me).
Mar 23, 2016 7:43 AM - daniel871: Oh, that T-rex print I did yesterday didn't work.
Mar 23, 2016 7:44 AM - daniel871: I didn't make sure that the S3D auto-generated supports actually supported the tiny arms and I basically ended up with an armless T-rex.
Mar 23, 2016 7:44 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Oh dear.
Mar 23, 2016 7:49 AM - daniel871: Reprinting that platform jack thing in ABS to see how well/terribly that works.
Mar 23, 2016 7:50 AM - daniel871: Since the PLA version just came apart when taking it off the bed.
Mar 23, 2016 7:50 AM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:925556
Mar 23, 2016 7:51 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Oh that's so freakin' cool
Mar 23, 2016 7:52 AM - AutopsyTurvy: And reminds me, I should upload my belt buckles.
Mar 23, 2016 8:22 AM - AutopsyTurvy: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1437379/ ... thar.
Mar 23, 2016 8:24 AM - danzca6: looks good
Mar 23, 2016 8:24 AM - danzca6: when do we get to see a pic of the completed costume?
Mar 23, 2016 8:25 AM - danzca6: This looks like an interesting kickstarter...https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/873464596/trium-delta-3d-printer
Mar 23, 2016 8:26 AM - daniel871: haha, swear word prints.
Mar 23, 2016 8:29 AM - AutopsyTurvy: I've got a photographer friend offered to take pictures on Sunday so... sometime after that.
Mar 23, 2016 8:29 AM - AutopsyTurvy: Though I need to try to put it all together tonight just to make sure everything fits and works together.
Mar 23, 2016 8:31 AM - danzca6: cool...I know you have put a lot of work into it. Hopefully it all comes together and you enjoy the event
Mar 23, 2016 8:31 AM - daniel871: That kickstarter looks like it might not make it, danzca (though I am interested in that 220mm x 440mm version).
Mar 23, 2016 8:32 AM - danzca6: did you see their tri color config towards the bottom?
Mar 23, 2016 8:33 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Mar 23, 2016 8:34 AM - danzca6: that was interesting....not a bad printer for around $400 really
Mar 23, 2016 8:35 AM - danzca6: I'd like to have a delta someday
Mar 23, 2016 8:46 AM - daniel871: Ah, what the hell, pledged for the extended Z-axis kit on a card I recently paid off. If they don't get funded, I won't get charged, if they do I get a fairly inexpensive delta build and maybe have a good printer.
Mar 23, 2016 8:50 AM - danzca6: you are a daredevil daniel
Mar 23, 2016 8:51 AM - danzca6: you're getting a good collection going now
Mar 23, 2016 8:52 AM - danzca6: do you follow "the 3d printing nerd" on youtube? He just did a video on adding the all metal hotend to the wanhoo printer like your i3 knockoff
Mar 23, 2016 8:54 AM - daniel871: Nope.
Mar 23, 2016 8:57 AM - daniel871: Watching it now.
Mar 23, 2016 8:57 AM - daniel871: Dude is slow, only took about five minutes to actually do.
Mar 23, 2016 8:57 AM - danzca6: looks like a quick changeover
Mar 23, 2016 8:58 AM - danzca6: did you already do it to yours?
Mar 23, 2016 8:58 AM - daniel871: Yeah, a couple weeks ago.
Mar 23, 2016 8:58 AM - danzca6: oh, I must have missed that. Big improvement?
Mar 23, 2016 8:58 AM - daniel871: Yep, no more stupid PTFE clog issues during retractions.
Mar 23, 2016 8:59 AM - daniel871: The stock hotend had the PTFE *slightly* too short and resulting in some issues on retractions.
Mar 23, 2016 8:59 AM - danzca6: still the champion in your growing fleet of printers
Mar 23, 2016 9:00 AM - daniel871: if only they all actually worked.
Mar 23, 2016 9:01 AM - danzca6: haha right
Mar 23, 2016 9:10 AM - WheresWaldo: Good Day to you Dan & Dan
Mar 23, 2016 9:11 AM - danzca6: hey Waldo! How are things going with you
Mar 23, 2016 9:13 AM - WheresWaldo: Not too bad, just finished up a 14 hour print, and yourself?
Mar 23, 2016 9:14 AM - danzca6: Haven't touched my printer in over a week. Been on vacation.
Mar 23, 2016 9:15 AM - WheresWaldo: Vacation is a good thing. I have had to test a few designs in the past week. I am getting a lot more requests for "special" GoPro & tail light bicycle mounts directly off my Shapeways page.
Mar 23, 2016 9:16 AM - danzca6: awesome...you're making a name for yourself
Mar 23, 2016 9:16 AM - danzca6: bike season is almost here again for me
Mar 23, 2016 9:17 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah, one item at a time. I have to find my misplaced Di2 charger before I can go out and ride again.
Mar 23, 2016 9:17 AM - danzca6: is that one of those e-bikes
Mar 23, 2016 9:18 AM - WheresWaldo: No, I have electronic shifting on my Cannondale EVO
Mar 23, 2016 9:19 AM - WheresWaldo: Dead battery means I am stuck in one gear
Mar 23, 2016 9:19 AM - danzca6: electronic shifting? I haven't heard of that before. Man, so much tech in bikes these days
Mar 23, 2016 9:20 AM - daniel871: You should design up a mount for a low-powered alternator that keeps the electronic shifter running when you're pedaling.
Mar 23, 2016 9:20 AM - WheresWaldo:
Mar 23, 2016 9:21 AM - WheresWaldo: Power Meter, Electronic Shifting, Garmin GPS/Cyclocomputer. a lot of battery operating going on there.
Mar 23, 2016 9:24 AM - danzca6: nice looking bike
Mar 23, 2016 9:25 AM - WheresWaldo: It was the only thing I got when we closed up our bike shop a few years ago. Retail was $3500.
Mar 23, 2016 9:26 AM - danzca6: yeah, my dad had a connondale, they aren't cheap but really nice bikes
Mar 23, 2016 9:27 AM - danzca6: How long did you have your shop?
Mar 23, 2016 9:28 AM - WheresWaldo: Almost three years.
Mar 23, 2016 9:29 AM - WheresWaldo: This is one of the smoothest bikes I have ever ridden. It is a joy to take out even if I do ride it rather slowly now.

 

Mar 23, 2016 9:32 AM - danzca6: sorry to hear about your shop. I love our local bike shops. Much better than buying from Target or Walmart
Mar 23, 2016 9:35 AM - WheresWaldo: That was our goal, but we had a competing shop that put up fake Yelp reviews and bad mouthed us in the community. We tried to stay above that and it eventually hurt us.
Mar 23, 2016 9:37 AM - WheresWaldo: We sold Cannondale, Schwinn and GT. Even did some custom work. Sold a dozen Schwinn's to Jack Links custom painted to match their packaging as well as custom saddles and headlights. It was a big hit at their Annual Sales Meeting a few years ago.
Mar 23, 2016 9:39 AM - danzca6: I hate it when companies do that crap....
Mar 23, 2016 10:12 AM - Bill Monroe: I have a Schwinn
Mar 23, 2016 10:12 AM - Bill Monroe: ...with a banana seat
Mar 23, 2016 10:16 AM - WheresWaldo: And a sissy bar too???
Mar 23, 2016 10:16 AM - Bill Monroe: you've seen it??
Mar 23, 2016 10:22 AM - WheresWaldo: Here is our baby.
Mar 23, 2016 10:24 AM - Bill Monroe: I still have that bike, but the one I ride now is also a new-ish schwinn.. had the guys at the shop kudge one together the way I wanted it
Mar 23, 2016 12:40 PM - daniel871:
Mar 23, 2016 1:10 PM - Mike Kelly: I printed a thing!
Mar 23, 2016 1:13 PM - danzca6: like a VW thing, the swamp thing, the thing from the adams family, or some other thing?
Mar 23, 2016 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: He printed a d-g thing
Mar 23, 2016 1:19 PM - danzca6: the fantastic 4 thing
Mar 23, 2016 1:19 PM - danzca6: what is a d-g thing
Mar 23, 2016 1:25 PM - daniel871: Dildo-Generator
Mar 23, 2016 1:58 PM - danzca6:
