Apr 23, 2016 at 11:21 PM - m4r1n5: anyone use rodo3d's carbon fiber filament yet?
Apr 23, 2016 at 11:45 PM - Bob64: god damn the forums have changed. Anyone know where they're hiding the topic for the firmware releases these days? Also, they should really brand the printers a bit differently...
Apr 23, 2016 at 11:46 PM - Bob64: I have the original kickstarter robo.
Apr 24, 2016 at 4:19 AM - Archania: hi all. Trying to print with Hatchbox Wood. Anyone use it and if so temp settings for nozzle and bed? Having a heck of a time dialing it in to get a print going
Apr 24, 2016 at 4:34 AM - Archania: think i got it now.. what a pita
Apr 24, 2016 at 4:45 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Apr 24, 2016 at 4:48 AM - Archania: Hi Bill
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: Arch
Apr 24, 2016 at 8:32 AM - Nathanfish: i printed with the wood one time and never used it again. Yeah pain in the Ass!
Apr 24, 2016 at 8:46 AM - Archania: it came out pretty good once i figured out the temps
Apr 24, 2016 at 8:47 AM - Archania: now i just hope i wrote down the right numbers so i can do it again next time
Apr 24, 2016 at 4:05 PM - Bill Monroe: hello
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:03 PM - kevin wilson: hihi
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:18 PM - Bill Monroe: Kev
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:27 PM - kevin wilson: and i pretty much stripped the screw on the side because its so tight, and i'm not a small person
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:27 PM - kevin wilson: had to push pretty hard and turn to get the other three out
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:28 PM - kevin wilson: so put some new filament and i stupidly ran it under one of the strands on the roll, preventing it from unraveling so it pulled the extruder up when it wanted to go down
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:29 PM - kevin wilson: so my right switch, or the gold bolt with it, and way visible and down the rods
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:29 PM - kevin wilson: so was taken the casing off to get to the gold bolt and...not so much
Apr 24, 2016 at 5:34 PM - kevin wilson: bigger phillips did the trick
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:43 PM - Vida10: hola
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:43 PM - Vida10: me pueden ayudar por favor?

Apr 25, 2016 5:25 AM - JeffTheMess: nice, I got the 3dlp working, just need to print something to hold the magnifying glass and get the resin and im ready
Apr 25, 2016 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: sweet
Apr 25, 2016 5:27 AM - JeffTheMess: my robo is still screwed up but hey I did finish something....printing anything
Apr 25, 2016 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: well that's good.. I made a spacer for the motor on my son's new RC with mine yesterday

Apr 25, 2016 5:29 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. he's getting good.. flying my tiny lil indoor YAK outside in the wind yesterday..
Apr 25, 2016 5:30 AM - Bill Monroe: he's building a J3 cub now with a 7 foot wing
Apr 25, 2016 5:31 AM - JeffTheMess: all electric?
Apr 25, 2016 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: putting all that gps-autopilot-telemery stuff in it
Apr 25, 2016 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. electric
Apr 25, 2016 5:33 AM - JeffTheMess: you ever build a gas powered plane (other than your real plane)
Apr 25, 2016 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: oh ya.. up until a year ago I was all-gas
Apr 25, 2016 5:42 AM - JeffTheMess: which do you like better
Apr 25, 2016 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe: well hmmm.. electric is much simpler, cleaner, and quieter
Apr 25, 2016 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe: but gas has the satisfaction of conquering the engine
Apr 25, 2016 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: you can wring a lot more performance from gas
Apr 25, 2016 5:45 AM - kevin wilson: morning
Apr 25, 2016 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: I have a gas 7 cyl radial engine that has a very pleasing sound.. and looks really cool
Apr 25, 2016 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: Kev
Apr 25, 2016 5:45 AM - kevin wilson: good news fixed everything last night, got a print done this morning. did a put put boat for the kids, looks like going to need smaller straws
Apr 25, 2016 5:47 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Apr 25, 2016 5:53 AM - kevin wilson: still need to put my lcd screen on prob tomorow on day off
Apr 25, 2016 5:53 AM - kevin wilson: got it in its case
Apr 25, 2016 5:54 AM - JeffTheMess: good to hear to got it sorted out
Apr 25, 2016 5:58 AM - JeffTheMess:
Apr 25, 2016 6:38 AM - JeffTheMess: cheapest cnc
Apr 25, 2016 10:55 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha thats funny. I think I can draw straighter than that freehanded
Apr 25, 2016 11:47 AM - TstarkEngineering: just got an order for a huge part on 3dhubs. 100 dollars but its PC. Im frightened to accept such a large print with PC....
Apr 25, 2016 11:49 AM - JeffTheMess: PC?
Apr 25, 2016 11:50 AM - TstarkEngineering: polycarbonate
Apr 25, 2016 11:50 AM - JeffTheMess: oh ok
Apr 25, 2016 11:51 AM - TstarkEngineering: warping to the max with PC
Apr 25, 2016 11:51 AM - JeffTheMess: gotta be brave with it and crank the heat up
Apr 25, 2016 11:51 AM - TstarkEngineering: ya keeping the heat in is the important part
Apr 25, 2016 11:52 AM - TstarkEngineering: I dont have an enclosure so I dont see it happening like I would want it too
Apr 25, 2016 11:52 AM - TstarkEngineering: since its such a large complex part
Apr 25, 2016 11:54 AM - daniel871: Put a big old cardboard box over the printer and cross your fingers.
Apr 25, 2016 11:55 AM - JeffTheMess: throw a hair dryer in there while your at it
Apr 25, 2016 11:55 AM - TstarkEngineering: im seriously thinking about that. I just have to spend tonight getting my titan up too. I might give it a go....its challenging
Apr 25, 2016 11:56 AM - donhuevo: or put the printer in your oven and set it to 150 degrees
Apr 25, 2016 11:56 AM - TstarkEngineering: lmao
Apr 25, 2016 11:56 AM - TstarkEngineering: im sure the printer would love that
Apr 25, 2016 12:02 PM - donhuevo: I'm still thinking seriously about gutting one of these and building a printer inside it... http://www.amazon.com/Danby-Bottle-...d=1461610704&ref_=sr_1_6&s=home-garden&sr=1-6
Apr 25, 2016 12:13 PM - JeffTheMess: seems legit?
Apr 25, 2016 12:15 PM - donhuevo: a beverage cooler with a glass door seems ideal for holding heat and letting you see what's going on
Apr 25, 2016 12:16 PM - JeffTheMess: well insulated
Apr 25, 2016 12:16 PM - donhuevo: yep
Apr 25, 2016 12:17 PM - donhuevo: maybe even reverse the compressor so it heats instead of cools
Apr 25, 2016 12:38 PM - daniel871: This is an interesting test. http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/technology-research-centers/ereaders/speed-reader/

Apr 25, 2016 1:09 PM - JeffTheMess: que paso?
Apr 25, 2016 1:12 PM - JeffTheMess: Que problema tiene
Apr 25, 2016 1:49 PM - daniel871: Sólo las cosas típicas que tiene que ir a través de corregir el mal trabajo realizado en la fábrica .
Apr 25, 2016 2:16 PM - TstarkEngineering: como se dice "can you speak english" en espanol
Apr 25, 2016 2:19 PM - JeffTheMess: Do what dan does...google translate
Apr 25, 2016 2:22 PM - TstarkEngineering: lol
Apr 25, 2016 2:23 PM - TstarkEngineering: i was trying to be nifty and recollect my hated high school spanish
Apr 25, 2016 2:33 PM - JeffTheMess: Lol....."usted puede hablar ingles?"
Apr 25, 2016 2:34 PM - JeffTheMess: ¿?
Apr 25, 2016 2:40 PM - TstarkEngineering: just barely
Apr 25, 2016 3:29 PM - JeffTheMess: Are the megas on the robo a arduino brand?
Apr 25, 2016 4:02 PM - daniel871: I don't think there is an actual Arduino "brand" so much as a generic standard for the hobby-level electronics in them.
Apr 25, 2016 5:06 PM - JeffTheMess: Cool
Apr 25, 2016 5:17 PM - Printed Solid: there is an arduino brand.
Apr 25, 2016 5:18 PM - Printed Solid: 2 of them even. I think they're still fighting it out.
Apr 25, 2016 5:25 PM - JeffTheMess: Wondering if i should get an arduino mega
Apr 25, 2016 5:38 PM - Geof: I have 1 arduino spare and 4 ramps .... id get a ramps first or a kit with both
Apr 25, 2016 5:44 PM - JeffTheMess: I will get a cheap lcd first thwn move on to the ramps

Apr 26, 2016 4:47 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Apr 26, 2016 5:20 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey Bill
Apr 26, 2016 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: Morning Jeff.. how's the weather where you are?
Apr 26, 2016 5:21 AM - JeffTheMess: Pretty good, going to be a nice 85 today
Apr 26, 2016 5:21 AM - Bill Monroe: niiiiice
Apr 26, 2016 5:22 AM - JeffTheMess: how about where you are good I bet
Apr 26, 2016 5:22 AM - Bill Monroe: actually, it turned cold and fairly windy yesterday.. 2.0 had the woodstove going all night
Apr 26, 2016 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: forecast is for showers
Apr 26, 2016 5:24 AM - JeffTheMess: really!?
Apr 26, 2016 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. kinda wierd but welcome
Apr 26, 2016 5:25 AM - JeffTheMess: how much rain do you get a year?
Apr 26, 2016 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: actually, I dont know those numbers
Apr 26, 2016 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: internet says a little over 5 in/yr that sounds about right
Apr 26, 2016 5:29 AM - JeffTheMess: geez
Apr 26, 2016 5:30 AM - Bill Monroe: with 2.0, it's more like 25 on my property.. she sure loves the irrigation system
Apr 26, 2016 5:32 AM - JeffTheMess: garden?
Apr 26, 2016 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: everything!
Apr 26, 2016 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: even the creosote bushes.. which is about on par with tumbleweed as far as I'm concerend
Apr 26, 2016 5:34 AM - JeffTheMess: must be nice to have all that
Apr 26, 2016 5:34 AM - Bill Monroe: well, it makes her happy so...
Apr 26, 2016 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: we have about a quarter-acre of lavendar now.. mostly due to her propagating..
Apr 26, 2016 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: but even though they grow fine in the desert.. she still irrigates them like a mid western farmer
Apr 26, 2016 5:36 AM - Bill Monroe: you get an LCD for your robo yet?
Apr 26, 2016 5:46 AM - JeffTheMess: gotta keep them good right
Apr 26, 2016 5:46 AM - JeffTheMess: I hope to order it on Friday
Apr 26, 2016 5:47 AM - JeffTheMess: http://www.amazon.com/OSOYOO-Graphi...qid=1461674655&sr=8-1&keywords=lcd+3d+printer
Apr 26, 2016 5:47 AM - JeffTheMess: I will try this guy out first
Apr 26, 2016 5:48 AM - Bill Monroe: i think that'll require firmware changes
Apr 26, 2016 6:01 AM - JeffTheMess: wouldn't any lcd require firmware changes?
Apr 26, 2016 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: nope.. the XXL doesnt.. smaller versions of it either
Apr 26, 2016 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: unless someone messed with the defaults
Apr 26, 2016 6:05 AM - JeffTheMess: ugh....why couldn't just more plug and play
Apr 26, 2016 6:05 AM - Bill Monroe: ive never been impressed with the so-call "full graphics" panels.. they require some additional hassle to install and are very-very far from full graphics..
Apr 26, 2016 6:06 AM - JeffTheMess:
Apr 26, 2016 6:06 AM - Bill Monroe: the first ones were basic and used a command command set so they put it into marlin and life was good. later more variations were introduced (like the full graphics panels) and it complicated things
Apr 26, 2016 6:06 AM - JeffTheMess: I dont care much about it just want my printer to work, I cant finish my dlp without my fdm
Apr 26, 2016 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. at 2:10 is when things get interesting.. hopefully it will be painless for you
Apr 26, 2016 6:20 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah hopefully it works with those instructions
Apr 26, 2016 6:30 AM - kevin wilson: hihi putting in lcd today
Apr 26, 2016 6:30 AM - JeffTheMess: you have the xxl?
Apr 26, 2016 6:32 AM - kevin wilson: no reg
Apr 26, 2016 6:33 AM - kevin wilson: firmware should be good to go with the regular one right?
Apr 26, 2016 6:36 AM - JeffTheMess: I think Bill said no firmware required
Apr 26, 2016 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: firmware is required, but defaults in Marlin will work as is
Apr 26, 2016 6:39 AM - daniel871: No firmware editing maybe, the firmware is always required.
Apr 26, 2016 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: if they've been changed, all bets are off
Apr 26, 2016 6:39 AM - daniel871: Here, have something to trigger your "Why would someone do that?!" sense.
Apr 26, 2016 6:41 AM - JeffTheMess: seems legit?
Apr 26, 2016 6:42 AM - daniel871: They forgot about the ground wire.
Apr 26, 2016 6:42 AM - JeffTheMess: well that changes everything!
Apr 26, 2016 6:45 AM - daniel871: I love videos where people have too much free time and industrial equipment to play with.
Apr 26, 2016 6:51 AM - JeffTheMess: the lego one was pretty good
Apr 26, 2016 7:01 AM - JeffTheMess: titan dual extruder
Apr 26, 2016 7:01 AM - kevin wilson: i wish i remembered where i unplugged the fan
Apr 26, 2016 7:01 AM - JeffTheMess: which fan?
Apr 26, 2016 7:02 AM - kevin wilson: oh i got it, just having line up issues, big hands small wire
Apr 26, 2016 7:02 AM - kevin wilson: shhhh dont repeat that
Apr 26, 2016 7:16 AM - JeffTheMess: duhh
Apr 26, 2016 7:21 AM - kevin wilson: well its lighting up,
Apr 26, 2016 7:21 AM - JeffTheMess: any text on it?
Apr 26, 2016 7:22 AM - kevin wilson: no
Apr 26, 2016 7:22 AM - kevin wilson: was i suppose to install something onto it?
Apr 26, 2016 7:24 AM - JeffTheMess: got a link to the lcd you bought?
Apr 26, 2016 7:25 AM - kevin wilson: http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscount_Smart_Controller
Apr 26, 2016 7:26 AM - JeffTheMess: Marlin V1 (new) In "Configuration.h” Change line 46 to #define MOTHERBOARD 33 Change line 306 to #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER (just remove the // at the beginning) Change line 326 to #define NEWPANEL //enable this if you have a click-encoder panel (just remove the // at the beginning) Switch over to "Pins.h" and change line 318 to #define RAMPS_V_1_3 (just remove the // at the beginning) Upload the firmware, power off the Arduino, con
Apr 26, 2016 7:27 AM - daniel871: Some LCDs have a contrast adjusting screw on the back (looks like the potentiometer screw on the stepper drivers).
Apr 26, 2016 7:27 AM - kevin wilson: oh yeah i remember reading that daniel...
Apr 26, 2016 7:28 AM - kevin wilson: course i screwed it into a case, sigh,
Apr 26, 2016 7:28 AM - daniel871: So if the screen lights up you can adjust that screw to see if the contrast setting is the issue or not.
Apr 26, 2016 7:28 AM - daniel871: Yeah, don't mount new hardware until you test it to see if it works when plugged in.
Apr 26, 2016 7:29 AM - kevin wilson: well i left the top off
Apr 26, 2016 7:29 AM - kevin wilson:
Apr 26, 2016 7:33 AM - kevin wilson: damn thats a small and very sensitive screw
Apr 26, 2016 7:33 AM - kevin wilson: but that was it!
Apr 26, 2016 7:34 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Apr 26, 2016 7:34 AM - JeffTheMess: enjoy your new and improved robo
Apr 26, 2016 7:35 AM - kevin wilson: i don't care what makerbot calls you guy i still love you
Apr 26, 2016 7:37 AM - JeffTheMess: (probably better names than what we call the robo)
Apr 26, 2016 7:40 AM - TstarkEngineering: really makerbot makes fun of robo...now thats funny
Apr 26, 2016 7:41 AM - TstarkEngineering: as they just exported all of their hardware to china
Apr 26, 2016 7:45 AM - JeffTheMess: assholes
Apr 26, 2016 7:46 AM - daniel871: I saw where someone posted that the Rep2 was $800 now and one of the first comments was "That's still about $500 too much for what that printer can do."
Apr 26, 2016 7:47 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 26, 2016 7:50 AM - JasonSolves: howdy do de
Apr 26, 2016 7:53 AM - JeffTheMess: hey there
Apr 26, 2016 7:59 AM - JasonSolves: What is the longest you have gone with an issue, that ends up being a simple simple fix
Apr 26, 2016 7:59 AM - JasonSolves: I mean trying thing after thing after thing to no avail
Apr 26, 2016 8:00 AM - JasonSolves: then boom, you stumble upon a post on some page and boom fixed!
Apr 26, 2016 8:01 AM - JasonSolves: I blame Mark for the solution and myself for the problem and lack of thinking
Apr 26, 2016 8:04 AM - kevin wilson: yeah, that control in the back i knew i read it, i knew when i read it i was like i need to remember that, but i dont think i book marked that page
Apr 26, 2016 8:04 AM - kevin wilson: but couldn't put m finger on it, and i had the forum page up from here that said didn't need any firmware
Apr 26, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, well this was have to do with temperature of the hot end
Apr 26, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: So everyone helped
Apr 26, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: and tried all sorts of stuff
Apr 26, 2016 8:12 AM - JasonSolves: then... when looking at the titan Extruder
Apr 26, 2016 8:12 AM - JasonSolves: and was thinking of a v6 e3d and saw this
Apr 26, 2016 8:13 AM - JasonSolves: Mark is Awesome
Apr 26, 2016 8:13 AM - JasonSolves: and I had put a Threaded Thermister in because the other one is not fun
Apr 26, 2016 8:14 AM - JasonSolves: but never changed the firmware to deal with that
Apr 26, 2016 8:15 AM - JasonSolves: so, now I am printing.... and the temp is staying constant.

 

Apr 26, 2016 8:17 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah those studs are great
Apr 26, 2016 8:29 AM - kevin wilson: woot
Apr 26, 2016 8:29 AM - kevin wilson: always great to say i'm printing again
Apr 26, 2016 8:30 AM - JeffTheMess: awesome, leave it running for more than 2 hours to really know
Apr 26, 2016 8:32 AM - NFOsec: Hi ladies.
Apr 26, 2016 8:32 AM - NFOsec: Hey JTM.
Apr 26, 2016 8:34 AM - JeffTheMess: NFO, how goes it
Apr 26, 2016 8:36 AM - NFOsec: It goes. Printed up a Cyclops 3D scanner ensemble, just getting ready for the hardware to come in the next 2 weeks. Ordered a few more filaments that are coming in from eSun and Hatchbox to resupply colors I'm out of and such. You?
Apr 26, 2016 8:37 AM - NFOsec: I have to model up a decent pipe clamp piece (2 pieces) so I can finish my steamer box -- going to print it out of Taulman BluPrint which can take the heat.
Apr 26, 2016 8:37 AM - JeffTheMess: you are living the life good sir
Apr 26, 2016 8:37 AM - NFOsec: How about you?
Apr 26, 2016 8:37 AM - NFOsec: trying to man... trying to...
Apr 26, 2016 8:39 AM - JeffTheMess: the robo is trashy and the dlp is going classy, going to try the lcd see if that helps
Apr 26, 2016 8:40 AM - NFOsec: I'm envious of you... YOU are living the life.
Apr 26, 2016 8:40 AM - NFOsec: the XXL LCD?
Apr 26, 2016 8:41 AM - JeffTheMess: http://www.amazon.com/OSOYOO-Graphi...qid=1461675627&sr=8-1&keywords=lcd+3d+printer
Apr 26, 2016 8:41 AM - JeffTheMess: lot cheaper to test
Apr 26, 2016 8:41 AM - NFOsec: the only thing I haven't been able to figure out on it (very reliable print jobs now) is how to raise/lower Z manually on it.
Apr 26, 2016 8:41 AM - JeffTheMess: DLP is very cheap to make
Apr 26, 2016 8:41 AM - NFOsec: that's what Mike Glass has.
Apr 26, 2016 8:41 AM - NFOsec: ask him, he has been happy with it.
Apr 26, 2016 8:42 AM - JeffTheMess: cool I haven't heard from MK or MG on here
Apr 26, 2016 8:42 AM - NFOsec: MK, not sure, haven't seen him in a while. MG has been on from time to time, but he's been focused on laser stuff mostly these days.
Apr 26, 2016 8:42 AM - NFOsec: still printing, but maybe it's seasonal.
Apr 26, 2016 8:43 AM - NFOsec: I talk with him almost every day.
Apr 26, 2016 8:44 AM - JeffTheMess: thats good to know
Apr 26, 2016 8:46 AM - donhuevo: they suck that they never come around any more
Apr 26, 2016 8:48 AM - kevin wilson: cyclops funny i have that up on my screen saw someone take the xbox motion tracker and make a 3d scanner
Apr 26, 2016 8:48 AM - kevin wilson: i havn't decided if i wanted to do that yet with my old xbox because i have some fun kids games on it for my kids, even though not currently hooked up
Apr 26, 2016 8:49 AM - JeffTheMess: doesn't MK work now for a 3dp company
Apr 26, 2016 8:50 AM - donhuevo: I think he does
Apr 26, 2016 8:50 AM - JeffTheMess: maybe he can't?
Apr 26, 2016 8:51 AM - donhuevo: I thought they were trying to print with metal
Apr 26, 2016 8:52 AM - NFOsec: Yeah, I'm sure he won't have anything to do with us now. Sad loss, their gain.
Apr 26, 2016 8:52 AM - NFOsec: Micron3DP has done metal and glass already.
Apr 26, 2016 8:52 AM - NFOsec: but high energy thing, not a consumer application yet.
Apr 26, 2016 8:53 AM - donhuevo: mg has no excuse
Apr 26, 2016 8:53 AM - NFOsec: don: I'll be sure to let MG know that.
Apr 26, 2016 8:53 AM - donhuevo: haha... and don't forget to tell him I called him a dict
Apr 26, 2016 8:54 AM - NFOsec: I just did.
Apr 26, 2016 8:55 AM - donhuevo: thank you
Apr 26, 2016 8:55 AM - NFOsec: We've been in close contact for a while, lots of stuff on laser, etc.
Apr 26, 2016 8:55 AM - donhuevo: nice!
Apr 26, 2016 8:57 AM - JeffTheMess: NFO you should make an sls
Apr 26, 2016 9:00 AM - NFOsec: can you provide details? I actually have 2 DLP projectors that are pretty new and not used for much at the moment.

Apr 26, 2016 9:02 AM - donhuevo: I finally got the homemade printer dialed in
Apr 26, 2016 9:03 AM - Mike Glass: sweet, got any pics
Apr 26, 2016 9:03 AM - donhuevo: I do but it looks like imgur took a shit
Apr 26, 2016 9:03 AM - NFOsec: I would take a shit too if I saw that homemade thing again...
Apr 26, 2016 9:03 AM - NFOsec: wait, I haven't seen it yet.
Apr 26, 2016 9:04 AM - toymaker: howdy... i need to buy like 5 more printers.... what shoudl i get
Apr 26, 2016 9:04 AM - Mike Glass: wanna hoe

Apr 26, 2016 9:05 AM - toymaker: liek by summer... i might have a 10k+ budget to work with
Apr 26, 2016 9:05 AM - NFOsec: Jeff -- if you have a path for me, I'll do it.
Apr 26, 2016 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: I have a few NFO
Apr 26, 2016 9:06 AM - toymaker: thinking 1 delta, 1 formlabs , 3 cheaper fdm's
Apr 26, 2016 9:06 AM - NFOsec: well, might as well invest in an sintering one then.
Apr 26, 2016 9:06 AM - NFOsec: did you look at 3ders.org's latest list of top and price and quality lately?
Apr 26, 2016 9:07 AM - NFOsec: what MG? SLS plans?
Apr 26, 2016 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: https://github.com/MillerLabFTW/OpenSLS
Apr 26, 2016 9:07 AM - NFOsec: SLP, DLP, DIP, BLIP, etc.
Apr 26, 2016 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: you can lasercut the parts from plexi
Apr 26, 2016 9:08 AM - Mike Glass: it does not use a projector, it uses your laser
Apr 26, 2016 9:08 AM - NFOsec: ah, that one, I remember we talked about it.
Apr 26, 2016 9:09 AM - JeffTheMess: thats the plans
Apr 26, 2016 9:09 AM - NFOsec: tempting.
Apr 26, 2016 9:09 AM - JeffTheMess: Little angel and little devil on you shoulders telling you to do it
Apr 26, 2016 9:10 AM - donhuevo: damnit. I can't find my imgur gallery
Apr 26, 2016 9:10 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.buildyourownsla.com/forum/

Apr 26, 2016 9:17 AM - Mike Glass: nice jeff
Apr 26, 2016 9:18 AM - NFOsec: Nice, but you really need a different table cloth.
Apr 26, 2016 9:18 AM - NFOsec: that is SO 90s.
Apr 26, 2016 9:18 AM - NFOsec: LOL
Apr 26, 2016 9:18 AM - JeffTheMess: tell my wife that lol
Apr 26, 2016 9:20 AM - toymaker: should i get a formlab2?
Apr 26, 2016 9:20 AM - JeffTheMess: ofcourse
Apr 26, 2016 9:21 AM - JeffTheMess: .25 microns layer heights
Apr 26, 2016 9:21 AM - toymaker: whats the cost of resin compared to say pla of equal weight ..etc
Apr 26, 2016 9:21 AM - JeffTheMess: we're not your wife
Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - JeffTheMess: some say its cheaper by volume
Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - JeffTheMess: we always say yes
Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: Finally back stateside
Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - donhuevo: mk

 

Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - toymaker: mk, should i get a formalbs 2?
Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - NFOsec: Ew. ear ringing is going on.
Apr 26, 2016 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: Señor Huevo
Apr 26, 2016 9:23 AM - NFOsec: toy, FL2 is worthy, 2XL was it?
Apr 26, 2016 9:23 AM - toymaker: i called and my budget is around 3k... not he 10k i was hping for
Apr 26, 2016 9:23 AM - donhuevo: how's Boston?
Apr 26, 2016 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: Bostons been good. Been on vacation for the past week
Apr 26, 2016 9:24 AM - JeffTheMess: already
Apr 26, 2016 9:24 AM - donhuevo: a vacation a month into the new job?
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - toymaker: so should i get the fl2? or a delta and couple of fdm? for kids...
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Went on a cruise. Started in Jacksonville, then ST Thomas, ST Kitts, ST Maarten, then spent a couple days I'm San Juan
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - toymaker: pueto ricoooooo
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah this has been planned since like October
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - JeffTheMess: fl2+
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Plus my job has unlimited vacation
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah the form 2 is a nice machine
Apr 26, 2016 9:25 AM - toymaker: how the learnign curve?
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: They have a one click print option
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: Just kinda messy and the resin is toxic so you need to be careful not to touch i
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: Otherwise it's a skin irritant
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - NFOsec: osm
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - toymaker: what about fumes?
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: So probably not best for kids to be handling
Apr 26, 2016 9:26 AM - NFOsec: isn't everything a skin irritant these days?
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: No just things that are
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: Don't think fumes are a concern
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - NFOsec: might as well support the development of the future Aspbergers for Tomorrow group.
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - toymaker: hows the speed?
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - NFOsec: yeah, just the material handling.
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: I would say slow
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - NFOsec: compared to a robo, much faster.
Apr 26, 2016 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: But that's the trade off for resolution
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - NFOsec: yeah, what was it, 25 microns?
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - toymaker: i want one to teach kids abotu different technologys
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - toymaker: so resolution isnt the biggest factor.
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: I think it can go down to 10 microns but I think the xy is 25
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - NFOsec: start with clay, move to 3D scanning the clay item, then print a shell version of the clay item. that'll teach'em.
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: Great for small objects
Apr 26, 2016 9:28 AM - JeffTheMess: you have to change the silicon bed every once and awhile
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah the bed is a consumable
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: It's quite expensive to operate
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - toymaker: how much is that?
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - NFOsec: buck-quarter-buck-fifty.
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - NFOsec: perhaps?
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: I think it's like 150-200 but I think they offer educational programs
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: Check their website
Apr 26, 2016 9:29 AM - toymaker: roger
Apr 26, 2016 9:30 AM - JeffTheMess: thats why top-down printer are a bit better but you need alot of resin
Apr 26, 2016 9:30 AM - NFOsec: $100ish.
Apr 26, 2016 9:30 AM - donhuevo: just for you mk...
Apr 26, 2016 9:30 AM - NFOsec: so I was right, about $125 shipped.
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - NFOsec: nice, you bow down to the master.
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Lol don
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - donhuevo: and 3k is enough for 15 Tiko's
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Is that on your new printer?
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - toymaker: woohoo
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - donhuevo: yep... that printed in just over 2 hrs
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Just buy a carbon3d... Well lease it
Apr 26, 2016 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Slick
Apr 26, 2016 9:32 AM - toymaker: how much is the lease?
Apr 26, 2016 9:32 AM - Mike Kelly: 70k/yr
Apr 26, 2016 9:32 AM - toymaker: gonna ened more grants for that lol
Apr 26, 2016 9:32 AM - JeffTheMess: chump change
Apr 26, 2016 9:32 AM - donhuevo: .6 nozzle on the Volcano and bondtech pushing. .1 layer height
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: Got a pic of how it ended up looking?
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - NFOsec: what angle are you taking for the grants toy? I used to write nonprofit grants 20-30 years ago.
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - NFOsec: you could probably get that without blinking.
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - donhuevo: nothing recent
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - toymaker: i dont do the grants.... i just spend the money =)
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - NFOsec: nice don. I love my bondtech and E3Dv6.
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: Curious if the big I put in your ear about the prusa style x came out
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: Bug
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - donhuevo: this is close...
Apr 26, 2016 9:33 AM - NFOsec: I have had ZERO issues since October when I replaced all these things.
Apr 26, 2016 9:34 AM - NFOsec: wow, very nice colors, cool.
Apr 26, 2016 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: Don has good taste
Apr 26, 2016 9:34 AM - JeffTheMess: thats a shameful robo (which is a good thing)
Apr 26, 2016 9:34 AM - NFOsec: well, PLA is only sugar and water for the most part.
Apr 26, 2016 9:35 AM - toymaker: or should i get like 2 big box's
Apr 26, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: Just carbon, hydrogens, and oxygens
Apr 26, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: You have you heard of the just 3D print?
Apr 26, 2016 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: They were in my mwrrf video
Apr 26, 2016 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: 2-3 big boxes would be nice
Apr 26, 2016 9:36 AM - toymaker: i think the fl2 annual cost muight be to much for a school
Apr 26, 2016 9:36 AM - NFOsec: just3D print, isn't that a prototype company?
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: Wait no that's not the name hmm
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - daniel871: I like how the only actual Robo parts are the glass bed and maybe the electronics below.
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - donhuevo: what about printrbots?
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - NFOsec: toy, the big box might be an easier maintenance project I suppose.
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - NFOsec: an open form factor might be key to everything.
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - toymaker: thinking the same thing.... mk canu get me a deal on bb's
Apr 26, 2016 9:37 AM - donhuevo: it's just the glass from robo. everything else is different
Apr 26, 2016 9:38 AM - daniel871: Get 30 Monoprice I3 clones and have everyone printing at the same time.
Apr 26, 2016 9:38 AM - NFOsec: yeah MK, get him an educational grant discount. Lord knows you have a charitable bone in you.
Apr 26, 2016 9:38 AM - toymaker: i thoguth about that to.... daniel how has the monoprice held up so far?
Apr 26, 2016 9:38 AM - daniel871: It's still running and pretty much anything I give it to print actually prints.
Apr 26, 2016 9:39 AM - toymaker: 1 bb and the rest in mono prices....
Apr 26, 2016 9:39 AM - daniel871: My baseline is my non-functioning Robos though so I'm not sure how to compare it to more expensive printers like the BigBox.
Apr 26, 2016 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: I can't toy but you could email e3d
Apr 26, 2016 9:39 AM - daniel871: I'll have that Trium 3d Delta from Kickstarter sometime in July/August.

 

Apr 26, 2016 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: I know PrintedSolid and filastruder are looking to resell. They might be able to help
Apr 26, 2016 9:40 AM - daniel871: There's a rumor floating around about an updated version of that i3 clone coming out soon that has the most popular mods already on it, but no idea when that is actually happening.
Apr 26, 2016 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: E3d generally doesn't have good margins
Apr 26, 2016 9:41 AM - toymaker: 8 week lead time?
Apr 26, 2016 9:41 AM - toymaker: i need somethign buy summer
Apr 26, 2016 9:41 AM - daniel871: Here is the Wanhao version of the Monoprice i3 that has some of the mods I'm talking about. http://wanhaousa.com/products/duplicator-i3-steel-frame
Apr 26, 2016 9:42 AM - JeffTheMess: 8 weeks lead time is hell
Apr 26, 2016 9:42 AM - donhuevo: Mattel's offering... http://www.amazon.com/Mattel-DYH71-...TF8&qid=1461688706&sr=8-9&keywords=3d+printer
Apr 26, 2016 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah the bigbox needs to finish Kickstarter. They were supposed to be done by this month
Apr 26, 2016 9:43 AM - toymaker: i was about to ask u about that mk
Apr 26, 2016 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: I need to find out what the status is
Apr 26, 2016 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: Alright my free wifi is about to go off so I'm gonna find something else to do
Apr 26, 2016 9:44 AM - toymaker: mk what was the total ticket for your bb?
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - daniel871: $1,800 USD or slightly less, probably.
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - JeffTheMess: geez
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - daniel871: Depending on how many options he went for.
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: I forget. Whatever the Kickstarter said
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - donhuevo: that made me pucker
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - donhuevo: wow
Apr 26, 2016 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: The pro is like 799gbp
Apr 26, 2016 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: Dual is overrated
Apr 26, 2016 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: Daniel bought his as a prebuilt
Apr 26, 2016 9:46 AM - daniel871: I actually canceled that pre-order because I needed the funds for car maintenance.
Apr 26, 2016 9:47 AM - toymaker: i save some money and built it myselfg
Apr 26, 2016 9:47 AM - daniel871: Bad timing really.
Apr 26, 2016 9:47 AM - toymaker: but damn 8 week lead time really kills it
Apr 26, 2016 9:47 AM - daniel871: Not offering the assembled version in the same materials as the kits also hurts it.
Apr 26, 2016 9:48 AM - JeffTheMess: meh
Apr 26, 2016 9:48 AM - toymaker: whats the best delta out their for 1500?
Apr 26, 2016 9:48 AM - daniel871: Rostock Max V2
Apr 26, 2016 9:48 AM - daniel871: Definitely.
Apr 26, 2016 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: Yes
Apr 26, 2016 9:49 AM - Mike Kelly: I think it'll be less than 8 weeks but they don't know I guess
Apr 26, 2016 9:49 AM - toymaker: maybe 1 of those and 1 bb if i can get it in 4 weeks
Apr 26, 2016 9:49 AM - daniel871: http://www.seemecnc.com/collections...k-max-v2-desktop-3d-printer-factory-assembled
Apr 26, 2016 9:49 AM - daniel871: That's the assembled version for slightly more than you asked, the kit is substantially less.
Apr 26, 2016 9:49 AM - toymaker: thx daniel...
Apr 26, 2016 9:50 AM - toymaker: im gonna get 1 of those for sure
Apr 26, 2016 9:50 AM - toymaker: so i can teach kids abotu delta's
Apr 26, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: I really want one
Apr 26, 2016 9:50 AM - Mike Kelly: Show them the kinematic equations and give em nightmares
Apr 26, 2016 9:50 AM - toymaker: woohoo
Apr 26, 2016 9:51 AM - donhuevo: Looks like the Tiko's will be shipping soon. over 16k have been bought so far
Apr 26, 2016 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: Oh hey bigbox Kickstarter is done
Apr 26, 2016 9:51 AM - toymaker: mk i know u want to sell me your bb
Apr 26, 2016 9:51 AM - daniel871: I'm settling for this one: http://www.emergin.net/
Apr 26, 2016 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: Haha nope
Apr 26, 2016 9:51 AM - donhuevo: were the ultimakers part of your severance?
Apr 26, 2016 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: Even if I wanted to its in storage
Apr 26, 2016 9:52 AM - toymaker: lol
Apr 26, 2016 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: I just asked Greg about the lead time
Apr 26, 2016 9:53 AM - toymaker: and?
Apr 26, 2016 9:53 AM - Mike Kelly: I'll let you know if he replies
Apr 26, 2016 9:53 AM - daniel871: He's still laughing.
Apr 26, 2016 9:53 AM - toymaker: daniel my smoothieboard came in btw
Apr 26, 2016 9:53 AM - daniel871: I'm jealous.
Apr 26, 2016 9:53 AM - Mike Kelly: 4 weeks he says
Apr 26, 2016 9:54 AM - toymaker: hmmm... mk do u get any kickbacks for seeling a bb?
Apr 26, 2016 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: Nope
Apr 26, 2016 9:54 AM - daniel871: I'd just get two Rostock Max V2s if I had the funds.
Apr 26, 2016 9:54 AM - toymaker: liek that daniel?
Apr 26, 2016 9:55 AM - donhuevo: If money weren't an object, I think I'd have to get a couple of Werner's deltas
Apr 26, 2016 9:55 AM - daniel871: Use the stock RAMBo controller on one and figure out how to set up the Smoothieboard on the other and compare prints.
Apr 26, 2016 9:55 AM - toymaker: http://www.seemecnc.com/collections/3d-printers/products/rostock-max-complete-kit this is the kit version right?
Apr 26, 2016 9:56 AM - daniel871: That's it.
Apr 26, 2016 9:56 AM - toymaker: i do like the price...
Apr 26, 2016 9:56 AM - toymaker: but it uses an ezstruder?
Apr 26, 2016 9:56 AM - daniel871: If you've put together regular printer kits the Rostock kit should be pretty easy.
Apr 26, 2016 9:57 AM - daniel871: Yeah. I've not used one but I figure if it's a Bowden setup you can easily change that out.
Apr 26, 2016 10:00 AM - toymaker: 2 rostocks... (kits) , 2 more bondtechs, 2 more smoothieboards = about 3k
Apr 26, 2016 10:00 AM - JeffTheMess: living the dream toy
Apr 26, 2016 10:01 AM - toymaker: u should see my girlfriend =)
Apr 26, 2016 10:01 AM - toymaker: dumb as a rock
Apr 26, 2016 10:01 AM - JeffTheMess: (she watching you right now)
Apr 26, 2016 11:33 AM - kevin wilson: anyone play around with mods for paintball markers? want to take my tipx and want to make a shell to make it look like a video game gun
Apr 26, 2016 11:43 AM - danzca6: http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160...top-metal-raises-fresh-in-equity-funding.html
Apr 26, 2016 11:43 AM - danzca6: looks like a good company to work for
Apr 26, 2016 11:47 AM - kevin wilson: thats the town my wife works in, i'm not too far
Apr 26, 2016 12:05 PM - daniel871: Ha.
Apr 26, 2016 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: Pretty sure that's the company MK went to work for
Apr 26, 2016 1:05 PM - danzca6: hence the wink
Apr 26, 2016 1:06 PM - danzca6: I can't wait to see more of what they come out with
Apr 26, 2016 1:07 PM - daniel871: Thought you were talking about a company that smashed bird cages and recorded birds swearing about it for a second there.
Apr 26, 2016 2:35 PM - AxisLab: DAMMIT WANHAO!! Sheesh lol. I'm the Aaron at the bottom, first Aaron is clear across the country...http://i.imgur.com/0mGV44p.jpg
Apr 26, 2016 2:54 PM - TstarkEngineering: whops how did you do that?
Apr 26, 2016 3:04 PM - AxisLab: I preordered those over a month ago, they mailed them to the wrong person. Luckily he posted that picture in a facegroup i'm a member of.
Apr 26, 2016 4:33 PM - kevin wilson: wow
Apr 26, 2016 5:23 PM - daniel871: Haha, I was laughing at that earlier.
Apr 26, 2016 5:23 PM - daniel871: Also what's up fellow Wanhao owner!
Apr 26, 2016 5:52 PM - danzca6: What are the odds?
Apr 26, 2016 5:55 PM - danzca6: Springfield OR is not Michigan at all....you were lucky to see that post
Apr 26, 2016 5:58 PM - Bill Monroe: good evening
Apr 26, 2016 5:59 PM - kevin wilson: hi
Apr 26, 2016 6:05 PM - danzca6: hey bill...kevin
Apr 26, 2016 6:06 PM - danzca6: man, just finished pulling 8-5gal buckets of dandelions out of my yard...flippin weeds
Apr 26, 2016 6:15 PM - kevin wilson: sounds fun, first flower i gave both my daughters while playing in the backyard
Apr 26, 2016 6:24 PM - danzca6: Just watched Joe Telling demonstrating printing with this filament....really great quality filament for a very reasonable price. https://www.allprofessional3d.com/
Apr 26, 2016 6:26 PM - kevin wilson: anyone use fusion 360
Apr 26, 2016 6:27 PM - Bill Monroe: nope
Apr 26, 2016 6:27 PM - danzca6: I do

 

Apr 26, 2016 6:27 PM - danzca6: I'm poor
Apr 26, 2016 6:27 PM - kevin wilson: lol
Apr 26, 2016 6:28 PM - kevin wilson: i did a sketch and it looks complete but it isn't, because when i stop sketch i cant select it to see the blue plane, any ideas?
Apr 26, 2016 6:28 PM - kevin wilson: or is there a command that will fill in any loopholes i might have missed
Apr 26, 2016 6:29 PM - kevin wilson: found a bunch of stuff saying "if you did it correctly it will be selectable plane you can push/pull it" nothing on, if you fucked up, this is how you tell where
Apr 26, 2016 6:30 PM - danzca6: Good question...I haven't found a magic wand for that. Normally when making my sketches I make sure my lines intersect. I have had a couple times when it didn't and just needed to review my lines.
Apr 26, 2016 6:30 PM - danzca6: normally I can still select, but my selection bleeds through to another part of the sketch I didn't want
Apr 26, 2016 6:30 PM - danzca6: then I know I have a hole
Apr 26, 2016 6:31 PM - danzca6: but you can't select it at all?
Apr 26, 2016 6:33 PM - danzca6: do you see any white circles at the ends of your lines?
Apr 26, 2016 6:33 PM - danzca6: once the sketch is "water tight" it will shade in the shape with a tan color in sketch view
Apr 26, 2016 6:34 PM - danzca6: the white circles will show an opening...at least in the example I just did
Apr 26, 2016 6:35 PM - kevin wilson: dots, edit, etc
Apr 26, 2016 6:35 PM - kevin wilson: i can select lines, dots edit etc
Apr 26, 2016 6:35 PM - kevin wilson: i deleted all the constraints, guess i will zoooom in see whats up there
Apr 26, 2016 6:36 PM - Bill Monroe: <<-- Solidworks
Apr 26, 2016 6:36 PM - kevin wilson: ok got it
Apr 26, 2016 6:37 PM - danzca6: like I said bill, I be poor,,,can't afford big boy toys yet
Apr 26, 2016 6:37 PM - danzca6: SW I think has a tool for finding gaps like that doesn't it?
Apr 26, 2016 6:39 PM - kevin wilson: I have seen once you complete a model bring it into a program that air tights it, but not at that point yet
Apr 26, 2016 6:40 PM - daniel871: Well, Solidworks does a good job of telling you when you start overdefining a sketch, and about showing not-fully-defined lines in blue until you get everything dimensioned up.
Apr 26, 2016 6:40 PM - danzca6: nice
Apr 26, 2016 6:41 PM - daniel871: I haven't gotten far enough into the Fusion360 tutorials to start mucking about designing in it yet.
Apr 26, 2016 6:41 PM - danzca6: oh, I found a little trick last week that I'm sure you all know about, but thought it was cool. For bringing in hardware into your models like nuts, bolts, bearings, and such, you can go to www.mcmaster.com and they have the cad files for a lot of their stuff.
Apr 26, 2016 6:41 PM - Bill Monroe: I would have difficulty doing this in Fusion:
Apr 26, 2016 6:42 PM - danzca6: Yeah...that's a big boy drawing there...I wouldn't even know where to start yet. Still learning to walk...haha
Apr 26, 2016 6:42 PM - daniel871: Yeah, I love using McMaster's models for off-the-shelf stuff.
Apr 26, 2016 6:42 PM - Bill Monroe:
Apr 26, 2016 6:43 PM - daniel871: Packaging/labeling machine?
Apr 26, 2016 6:43 PM - Bill Monroe: makes surgical drain bags
Apr 26, 2016 6:43 PM - Bill Monroe: or, it will around July
Apr 26, 2016 6:44 PM - daniel871: Saw the roll/sheet at the lower-left end and some of the features at the top reminded me of various parts from bottling/packaging machinery I've seen.
Apr 26, 2016 6:44 PM - danzca6: that is pretty cool Bill
Apr 26, 2016 6:44 PM - Bill Monroe: might be the last large-scale medical assembly machine I ever do
Apr 26, 2016 6:45 PM - danzca6: that's just a sad thing to think about
Apr 26, 2016 6:46 PM - Bill Monroe: naw.. i'm ok with it.. got a lot of nifty stuff on the horizon
Apr 26, 2016 6:47 PM - Bill Monroe: shopping for a VMC now...
Apr 26, 2016 6:47 PM - Bill Monroe: going to start making machines using castings instead of hogging them out of billets... so wasteful and expensive
Apr 26, 2016 6:48 PM - danzca6: always something special about doing work for the medical field. You can make a widget for some car or plane, but making something that may help someones health/life is an awesome feeling. Who knows, that person could even be you or a family member someday.
Apr 26, 2016 6:49 PM - JasonSolves: Howdy
Apr 26, 2016 6:49 PM - danzca6: Mr Jason
Apr 26, 2016 6:50 PM - JasonSolves: It is I
Apr 26, 2016 6:50 PM - danzca6: how are thing going for you
Apr 26, 2016 6:50 PM - JasonSolves: could be better
Apr 26, 2016 6:50 PM - JasonSolves: I do own a Robo after all
Apr 26, 2016 6:51 PM - JasonSolves: Robo "When Tinkering is more fun than printing"
Apr 26, 2016 6:51 PM - danzca6: haha
Apr 26, 2016 6:52 PM - danzca6: poor Robo...of course I would tinker with a UM2+...soooo
Apr 26, 2016 6:52 PM - JasonSolves: or more accurately "When Finding which part you need to upgrade to get it working well is half the fun"
Apr 26, 2016 6:52 PM - JasonSolves: My issue is not really the printer
Apr 26, 2016 6:53 PM - Bill Monroe: that's true Dan, but in this case, it's basically a drain bag for fluids. not really anything special
Apr 26, 2016 6:53 PM - Bill Monroe: but they do sell gazillions of them
Apr 26, 2016 6:53 PM - JasonSolves: my issue is that I do not have the brain power to figure out why 1 print it perfect, then the next is crap
Apr 26, 2016 6:54 PM - daniel871: I'm still having trouble letting go of the Robo printer, even though my Monoprice i3 is working perfectly.
Apr 26, 2016 6:56 PM - daniel871: Got an email asking me to provide reviews on some site for Robo3D products I've bought and oh man was that a bad idea on whoever's part at Robo3d thought was a good idea.
Apr 26, 2016 6:56 PM - daniel871: Some product review service.
Apr 26, 2016 6:56 PM - JasonSolves: So, I have done a bunch of kickstarters
Apr 26, 2016 6:56 PM - JasonSolves: and the issue is that it never works out exactly has planned
Apr 26, 2016 6:57 PM - danzca6: Jason, is it always the same model that works and fails or are they different models?
Apr 26, 2016 6:57 PM - JasonSolves: and turning a product into a company is hard
Apr 26, 2016 6:57 PM - JasonSolves: funny this print is the same model
Apr 26, 2016 6:57 PM - JasonSolves: I put on on the right side of the bed and one on the left
Apr 26, 2016 6:57 PM - daniel871: The moment you sacrifice QC in favor of shipping volume things are going to go to shit really fast though.
Apr 26, 2016 6:57 PM - JasonSolves: the left one was good, but the auto level pooped the bed
Apr 26, 2016 6:58 PM - JasonSolves: the right one tried to print 25 mm up in the air
Apr 26, 2016 6:58 PM - JasonSolves: and then I get RECEIVED: echo: cold extrusion prevented cold extrusion prevented RECEIVED: ok
Apr 26, 2016 6:58 PM - daniel871: Get that mesh bed leveling version of Marlin on there, run it once and never worry about it again as long as nothing else on the Robo breaks.
Apr 26, 2016 6:58 PM - JasonSolves: mesh meaning the 9 point?
Apr 26, 2016 6:58 PM - daniel871: Nope.
Apr 26, 2016 6:58 PM - JasonSolves: oh..
Apr 26, 2016 6:59 PM - daniel871: Mesh meaning "Actually plotting the surface of the bed and compensating for it"
Apr 26, 2016 6:59 PM - danzca6: yeah, but cold extrusion errors and bed leveling are two different things right
Apr 26, 2016 6:59 PM - JasonSolves: oh, you mean 1 time
Apr 26, 2016 7:00 PM - JasonSolves: yeah, you see my point
Apr 26, 2016 7:00 PM - JasonSolves: I had a original R1
Apr 26, 2016 7:00 PM - daniel871: Part of that mesh leveling firmware (at least the one I used) lowered the threshold on the cold extrusion limit.
Apr 26, 2016 7:00 PM - JasonSolves: I put a e3d v6 hot end on it
Apr 26, 2016 7:00 PM - JasonSolves: loved it
Apr 26, 2016 7:01 PM - daniel871: It was set at 185 in the firmware originally or something and that's pretty tight when you usually can extrude just fine at 190. A light breeze can kill a print.
Apr 26, 2016 7:01 PM - JasonSolves: I am trying to print @ 192
Apr 26, 2016 7:03 PM - daniel871: Might be able to just bump it up to 195-200 and still be fine.
Apr 26, 2016 7:03 PM - JasonSolves: yeah, I am sure it would be
Apr 26, 2016 7:04 PM - JasonSolves: I just start to feel insane when I do the same thing, and GET different results
Apr 26, 2016 7:05 PM - JasonSolves: I mean I was having an extruder problem earlier. so I took it all apart and cleaned it
Apr 26, 2016 7:06 PM - daniel871: There was a video someone posted about 3d printing not long ago with 10 points about it and one of them was something like "99% of 3d printing tech is not reliable. You can run the exact same program twice and not necessarily get the same results."
Apr 26, 2016 7:07 PM - JasonSolves: exactly
Apr 26, 2016 7:07 PM - JasonSolves: So true
Apr 26, 2016 7:15 PM - JasonSolves: if you find that firmware let me know, but I fixed the level issue by starting over with manual leveling
Apr 26, 2016 7:20 PM - kevin wilson: nice dan i ran across a similar site today, book marked that though
Apr 26, 2016 7:58 PM - JasonSolves: so Daniel
Apr 26, 2016 7:59 PM - JasonSolves: I am looking at the new firmware and was thinking about trying it, as nothing else it working....
Apr 26, 2016 7:59 PM - JasonSolves: but for some reason Waldo Says "Compile and upload to your Arduino 2540 board using the Arduino IDE"
Apr 26, 2016 8:00 PM - JasonSolves: and yet 2540 is not an option on my IDE
Apr 26, 2016 8:02 PM - JasonSolves: but I am assuming the 2560 mega is fine
Apr 26, 2016 8:03 PM - JasonSolves: nevermind....
Apr 26, 2016 8:08 PM - kevin wilson: alforge drops tomorow
Apr 26, 2016 8:08 PM - kevin wilson: off to bed though
Apr 26, 2016 8:12 PM - JasonSolves: "alforge drops tomorow"
Apr 26, 2016 8:12 PM - JasonSolves: is that like "The Sun Rises in the East"
Apr 26, 2016 8:13 PM - JasonSolves: or "The Rooster Caws at Daybeak"

 

Apr 27, 2016 4:25 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning roboneers
Apr 27, 2016 4:35 AM - daniel871: 2540 vs. 2560 is a typo.
Apr 27, 2016 4:47 AM - JeffTheMess: some people just don't know enough
Apr 27, 2016 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Apr 27, 2016 6:16 AM - rn_1604: Hi guys, does anyone know what this defect is and how do i resolve it? Printing saintsmart PETG at 230 degrees C and bed temp of 70 degC
Apr 27, 2016 6:16 AM - rn_1604: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sfwvuscorygw92g/robo3d petg.JPG?dl=0
Apr 27, 2016 6:17 AM - rn_1604: print speed 60mm/s, solid infill underspeed 60%, support structure underspeed 80%
Apr 27, 2016 6:28 AM - JeffTheMess: nylon?
Apr 27, 2016 6:32 AM - Bill Monroe: hey Jeff
Apr 27, 2016 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: argh
Apr 27, 2016 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: https://jtmachinedesign-gmail.tinytake.com/sf/NjIwNTU0XzMwNjIwNDU
Apr 27, 2016 6:34 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey Bill
Apr 27, 2016 6:34 AM - rn_1604: PETG
Apr 27, 2016 6:34 AM - JeffTheMess: what the heck am i seeing bill
Apr 27, 2016 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: simulation of the CNC machine's toolpath program for machining the castings for my door machine's X axis risers
Apr 27, 2016 6:36 AM - JeffTheMess: rn is it smooth or just discolored
Apr 27, 2016 6:36 AM - JeffTheMess: neat
Apr 27, 2016 6:36 AM - JeffTheMess: is your cnc fully up and running
Apr 27, 2016 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: nope.. just getting ready
Apr 27, 2016 6:37 AM - rn_1604: it's like there's gaps
Apr 27, 2016 6:38 AM - rn_1604: or sometimes the next layer doesnt fully stick to the layer below
Apr 27, 2016 6:39 AM - JeffTheMess: i love progress bill, get it done!
Apr 27, 2016 6:40 AM - JeffTheMess: i never worked with petg, but maybe its have some difficulty printing petg
Apr 27, 2016 6:41 AM - JeffTheMess: maybe slow it down
Apr 27, 2016 6:41 AM - JeffTheMess: the robo is ALLLLLL about patience "keep it slow, on the robo"
Apr 27, 2016 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm still getting the hang of the fine points of using HSMworks... there's much to do yet
Apr 27, 2016 6:43 AM - JeffTheMess: what materials are you going to focus on
Apr 27, 2016 6:47 AM - Bill Monroe: for the machine? or the doors it will make?
Apr 27, 2016 6:49 AM - JeffTheMess: machine
Apr 27, 2016 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe: ah.. the goal is, wherever possible, to use aluminum castings made from recycled sources
Apr 27, 2016 6:50 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm always dragging home old engine parts made from aluminum.. break them up with a sledge or bandsaw them into smaller pieces that will fit in the crucible
Apr 27, 2016 6:51 AM - Bill Monroe: pistons, etc...
Apr 27, 2016 6:51 AM - Bill Monroe: junkyards sell useless car parts for scrap prices
Apr 27, 2016 6:52 AM - JeffTheMess: ounds fun
Apr 27, 2016 6:52 AM - Bill Monroe: artists get off on stuff that was recycled
Apr 27, 2016 6:52 AM - Bill Monroe: besides, it's MUCH cheaper to do that than hogging parts out of billet and throwing all that scrap away
Apr 27, 2016 6:53 AM - Bill Monroe: and mistakes get melted down
Apr 27, 2016 6:54 AM - Bill Monroe: i have about 80% of what I need to build the machine already.. so this will happen
Apr 27, 2016 6:55 AM - JeffTheMess: good, mostly software though right
Apr 27, 2016 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: no, got all the software.. i still need to get a pro-quality spindle
Apr 27, 2016 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: got all the motors and amps.. control interface.. need to get a 120" lead screw, got a 60" for the Y and a 15" for the Z
Apr 27, 2016 6:57 AM - Bill Monroe: going to use the CNC to make the pulleys
Apr 27, 2016 6:57 AM - JeffTheMess: going to be a massive machine
Apr 27, 2016 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: wel certainly bigger than the last one I made.. around 8' in X, almost 5 in Y and around 12 in Z
Apr 27, 2016 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: 12" in Z
Apr 27, 2016 7:00 AM - Bill Monroe: i ran a sim for a door that look like the han solo carbonite slab.. i'm estimating it would take 50-55 hours to route it
Apr 27, 2016 7:01 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm going to be focusing on doors with cutouts for dual pane leaded glass inserts internally lit with LEDs
Apr 27, 2016 7:01 AM - JeffTheMess: gotta put it live
Apr 27, 2016 7:02 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, it's get live feed once it happens.. got a mount for the camera to ride on it, and one fixed
Apr 27, 2016 7:03 AM - JeffTheMess: thats cool, cant wait to see the beast
Apr 27, 2016 7:03 AM - JeffTheMess: wonder how loud it will be
Apr 27, 2016 7:03 AM - Bill Monroe: loud as a router
Apr 27, 2016 7:03 AM - Bill Monroe: the spindle is water-cooled so really, not too horrible noise
Apr 27, 2016 7:04 AM - Bill Monroe: ok.. gotta pull the plane out of the hanger and boogie..
Apr 27, 2016 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: catch ya later
Apr 27, 2016 7:05 AM - danzca6: fly safe
Apr 27, 2016 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: naw.. upside down the whole way
Apr 27, 2016 7:06 AM - danzca6: haha
Apr 27, 2016 7:09 AM - JeffTheMess: boom
Apr 27, 2016 7:27 AM - danzca6: Alright...time to make my BigBox printer http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1521722
Apr 27, 2016 7:36 AM - JeffTheMess: seems legit
Apr 27, 2016 7:39 AM - danzca6: legit? they are very nice printers. Finally got done taking care of their Kickstarter backers. So they released the plans for the printer today. I just need a laser big enought to make the panels
Apr 27, 2016 7:42 AM - JeffTheMess: ask MG or NFO
Apr 27, 2016 7:46 AM - danzca6: I could, but really want my own laser. Not sure if the one they have will cut something this big or not. Will have to look at the dimensions later.
Apr 27, 2016 7:50 AM - JeffTheMess: i wonder how good their auto level is
Apr 27, 2016 7:51 AM - danzca6: They use IR sensors. I have been using one for months now and it works great over the robo method. Of course, mesh leveling is the new bees knees
Apr 27, 2016 7:52 AM - JeffTheMess: I have no ideawhat that it
Apr 27, 2016 7:53 AM - danzca6: which one, mesh leveling or IR?
Apr 27, 2016 7:58 AM - kevin wilson: good morning
Apr 27, 2016 7:59 AM - danzca6: indeed it is kevin...how are you this fine morning
Apr 27, 2016 8:00 AM - kevin wilson: i got to sleep in, leaving for work in an hour,
Apr 27, 2016 8:01 AM - kevin wilson: wife went out with one kid, the other playing upstairs
Apr 27, 2016 8:01 AM - JasonSolves: so kevin, you never explained "alforge drops tomorow"
Apr 27, 2016 8:01 AM - kevin wilson: got a good amount of modeling done last night
Apr 27, 2016 8:01 AM - JasonSolves: Is that a reference I am not cool enough for?
Apr 27, 2016 8:02 AM - JeffTheMess: mesh leveling
Apr 27, 2016 8:03 AM - kevin wilson: oh no its a new printer
Apr 27, 2016 8:03 AM - kevin wilson: https://www.facebook.com/allforge/?fref=ts
Apr 27, 2016 8:03 AM - kevin wilson: injection modeling machine
Apr 27, 2016 8:04 AM - daniel871: That's not a printer, it's a molding machine.
Apr 27, 2016 8:04 AM - kevin wilson: injecting and casting
Apr 27, 2016 8:04 AM - daniel871: Still need to make your own molds or buy molds from them.
Apr 27, 2016 8:04 AM - JasonSolves: http://www.allforge.com/
Apr 27, 2016 8:05 AM - JasonSolves: got it
Apr 27, 2016 8:05 AM - daniel871: Mattel used to sell a toy mold machine, now their Thing Maker is a 3d printer.
Apr 27, 2016 8:06 AM - danzca6: Jeff, mesh leveling is part of the newer Merlin firmware. It measures the actual contour of the build plate. Current autolevel assumes a flat surface and only compinsates the plane at which it might be tilted.
Apr 27, 2016 8:06 AM - danzca6: mesh setup is a one time and done instead of for each print
Apr 27, 2016 8:07 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, so I followed that rabbit hole last night
Apr 27, 2016 8:07 AM - JasonSolves: went to the new marlin
Apr 27, 2016 8:07 AM - daniel871: Only tricky thing about mesh setup as it is now is that it goes to where the endstop is triggered for each probing point. That works fine on machines that use a sensor or that don't use the nozzle tip, but since the Robo does that means it drags the nozzle between points.
Apr 27, 2016 8:07 AM - JasonSolves: #1 I do not have a LCD
Apr 27, 2016 8:08 AM - JasonSolves: oh, that is interesting Daniel
Apr 27, 2016 8:08 AM - JasonSolves: Once I got the new firmware all loaded, it could not move in the Z Axis, and G29 told me Mesh not enabled
Apr 27, 2016 8:09 AM - daniel871: Yeah, you need the LCD to do it properly. That or a lot of patience and Octoprint or the control panel on your PC nearby.
Apr 27, 2016 8:09 AM - danzca6: That is why I like the IR...no more nozzle smashing
Apr 27, 2016 8:09 AM - daniel871: (and issuing very small jog commands to Z with Octoprint/the PC).
Apr 27, 2016 8:10 AM - danzca6: kevin...are you saying you have an allforge already coming?
Apr 27, 2016 8:10 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I am so frustrated with my hotend / Extruder... after midnight and 20 failed prints later I ordered a v6 and Titan
Apr 27, 2016 8:10 AM - danzca6: Their kickstarter doesn't even start until the 1st of May
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: then I thought, maybe a new printer is a better idea

 

Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: then I could not think anymore...
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - daniel871: It was really designed with LCD controllers in mind, and as cheap as those are there's no reason not to get one (why Robo still hasn't included them as stock on the Robo is a mystery).
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: I have a Viki
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - daniel871: Well, not really a mystery, but you know.
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - JasonSolves: in a box
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - danzca6: R2 has a touch panel
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - danzca6: haha
Apr 27, 2016 8:11 AM - daniel871: R2 is vaporware as far as I'm concerned.
Apr 27, 2016 8:12 AM - JasonSolves: do you think I can get the Viki re-installed?
Apr 27, 2016 8:12 AM - danzca6: I know...but always fun to bring up
Apr 27, 2016 8:12 AM - JeffTheMess: is there a robo firmware with mesh leveling
Apr 27, 2016 8:12 AM - danzca6: Waldo has supplied a version of it
Apr 27, 2016 8:12 AM - daniel871: There is a thread where Where's Waldo is keeping it updated with the latest RC and instructions on the files to use, but you have to compile and upload it yourself.
Apr 27, 2016 8:13 AM - danzca6: Robo isn't doing much with firmware enhancements these days
Apr 27, 2016 8:13 AM - JasonSolves: Said Thread
Apr 27, 2016 8:13 AM - JeffTheMess: well thats not new
Apr 27, 2016 8:13 AM - daniel871: The actual post: http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...date-6-for-r1-r1-plus.5806/page-18#post-73928
Apr 27, 2016 8:14 AM - JeffTheMess: downloading
Apr 27, 2016 8:15 AM - daniel871: An LCD controller can be worked around if you don't have one, but I think it's pretty much mandatory.
Apr 27, 2016 8:16 AM - JasonSolves: alight, maybe when I take it apart and put the v6 + Titan I will put the Viki in too
Apr 27, 2016 8:16 AM - danzca6: Jeff, make sure you have a working copy of your current firmware before you venture down the rabbit hole of new firmware
Apr 27, 2016 8:17 AM - JeffTheMess: My robo is a mess already so no biggy there
Apr 27, 2016 8:18 AM - daniel871: Make sure you change the extruder steps to 456 for whichever firmware you use if you mount the Titan.
Apr 27, 2016 8:18 AM - daniel871: Leaving it at 800 will lead to some pretty hilarious over-extrusion.
Apr 27, 2016 8:19 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I have been watching the thread about direct mount, and pancake stepper
Apr 27, 2016 8:19 AM - JasonSolves: but I think I gave up on that, and am going to go bowden and be done
Apr 27, 2016 8:19 AM - danzca6: bowden has its own challenges
Apr 27, 2016 8:20 AM - JasonSolves: but.. my issue is that I cannot print anything today
Apr 27, 2016 8:20 AM - JeffTheMess:
Apr 27, 2016 8:22 AM - daniel871: Ugh, I'm not looking forward to unplugging everything on the Robo and wiring it into another controller board for one last attempt to get it running before trashing it.
Apr 27, 2016 8:23 AM - JeffTheMess: well atleast you have other printers
Apr 27, 2016 8:31 AM - danzca6: daniel, go all "Office Space" on it!
Apr 27, 2016 8:36 AM - TstarkEngineering: morning everyone
Apr 27, 2016 8:38 AM - JasonSolves: morning
Apr 27, 2016 8:38 AM - JasonSolves: Good work on your titian BTW
Apr 27, 2016 8:38 AM - JasonSolves: had a lot of time last night, waiting for my failed prints....
Apr 27, 2016 8:41 AM - TstarkEngineering: I ran my first tests with it last night. works good. I need to design new fan mounts though for things like PLA
Apr 27, 2016 8:42 AM - TstarkEngineering: my carriage is so much lighter than stock its crazy
Apr 27, 2016 8:42 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I ordered a v6 + Titan last night
Apr 27, 2016 8:42 AM - JasonSolves: "Frustration Purchase"
Apr 27, 2016 8:42 AM - danzca6: yeah I put my old and new on the scale and it was about 3/4 of a pound lighter
Apr 27, 2016 8:43 AM - JasonSolves: Which Motor did you end up with?
Apr 27, 2016 8:43 AM - TstarkEngineering: wish i would of thought of that lol, not taking it apart now lol
Apr 27, 2016 8:43 AM - danzca6: I am using the 20mm pancake motor...I think Tyler is using the 25mm right T
Apr 27, 2016 8:44 AM - JasonSolves: so both of you are direct mounting the titan?
Apr 27, 2016 8:44 AM - danzca6: yep
Apr 27, 2016 8:44 AM - JasonSolves: so, which one of you want to take my money and print me a carriage
Apr 27, 2016 8:45 AM - danzca6: my mount is just a bracket with the original carriage. about 11g
Apr 27, 2016 8:45 AM - TstarkEngineering: thats awesome. I like your adapter. are you going to stick with the stock extruder?
Apr 27, 2016 8:45 AM - danzca6: T got all fancy with the new carriage, which is cool
Apr 27, 2016 8:46 AM - TstarkEngineering: psh so did you lol
Apr 27, 2016 8:46 AM - danzca6: I am going to the V6 but wanted to do something that would allow folks to use either. I will print with the hex for awhile with it and then switch over
Apr 27, 2016 8:47 AM - TstarkEngineering: ya I wanted to do that too, then realized the best solution is just focus on a v6 design
Apr 27, 2016 8:47 AM - JasonSolves: I am switching to the v6 as well
Apr 27, 2016 8:48 AM - danzca6: yeah, I bought it, so it would be like buying a porcshe and leaving it in the garage at this point
Apr 27, 2016 8:48 AM - TstarkEngineering: one thing I do like about my design is all the wires are tucked through the carriage no zipties are even needed, even the stepper plug fits inside
Apr 27, 2016 8:49 AM - TstarkEngineering: bad analogy porsches should stay in the garage lol jk
Apr 27, 2016 8:50 AM - danzca6: yeah, wire management is going to be next. That is the good thing about starting from scratch like you did. Can design all sorts of nice bits into it. I like what you did.
Apr 27, 2016 8:51 AM - TstarkEngineering: I still have so much to do to my printer though. I blew one of the z rod bearings out from taking on off the carriage so much, I have yet to change out my cracked glass from the PETG, need a new fan design, and rewire/cleanup all the wiring
Apr 27, 2016 8:51 AM - TstarkEngineering: PETG crack*
Apr 27, 2016 8:53 AM - danzca6: that all keeps things interesting. I see Robo is out of stock on the glass. Are you going to go custom on it?
Apr 27, 2016 8:55 AM - TstarkEngineering: no I have another one
Apr 27, 2016 8:55 AM - TstarkEngineering: I just never installed it
Apr 27, 2016 8:55 AM - TstarkEngineering: because the current one I have been working around the crack lol
Apr 27, 2016 9:20 AM - JasonSolves: If you tell me that you added the crack to your STL of you bed, so that you can place your models around it, I will just die
Apr 27, 2016 9:25 AM - TstarkEngineering: no no no lol
Apr 27, 2016 9:25 AM - TstarkEngineering: though that would be freaking hilarous
Apr 27, 2016 9:26 AM - TstarkEngineering: i shift the part on the bed to work around it
Apr 27, 2016 9:32 AM - JasonSolves: alright, so you are human
Apr 27, 2016 9:32 AM - JasonSolves: That is good
Apr 27, 2016 9:42 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha some days....not always....
Apr 27, 2016 9:55 AM - JasonSolves: time to have some fun.... turning the robo on
Apr 27, 2016 9:56 AM - JeffTheMess: good luck
Apr 27, 2016 9:59 AM - JasonSolves: I did sprinkle it with holy water, and threw some salt over it
Apr 27, 2016 10:01 AM - JeffTheMess: Call Sam and Dean
Apr 27, 2016 10:43 AM - JasonSolves: you mean moose and squirrel?
Apr 27, 2016 10:44 AM - JeffTheMess: whatever floats your boat (i meant from supernatural)
Apr 27, 2016 10:46 AM - JasonSolves: me too!
Apr 27, 2016 10:46 AM - JasonSolves: Sam is Moose
Apr 27, 2016 10:47 AM - JasonSolves: So, what seems to be working is changed min temp to 180 rather than 185. turned hot end temp to 210 rather than 195 and then turned off the fan
Apr 27, 2016 10:49 AM - JeffTheMess: how did it go
Apr 27, 2016 10:49 AM - JasonSolves: the issue I was having was / is / will be that the temp went too low and caused the print to stop
Apr 27, 2016 10:50 AM - JasonSolves: 26% doen so far
Apr 27, 2016 10:50 AM - JasonSolves: which is 15% more than last night
Apr 27, 2016 10:52 AM - JeffTheMess: what was your original problem?....print just stopped?
Apr 27, 2016 10:53 AM - JasonSolves: real problem is that the temp does not stay constant
Apr 27, 2016 10:54 AM - JeffTheMess: drop about 20C or so then cuts off
Apr 27, 2016 10:56 AM - JasonSolves: yea
Apr 27, 2016 10:57 AM - JasonSolves: some times it said "prevented extrusion on cold temp" but all the other movements continued
Apr 27, 2016 10:57 AM - JasonSolves: some times is gave that great temp issue and asked for M999
Apr 27, 2016 10:58 AM - JeffTheMess: ahh, I'm facing the same issue now
Apr 27, 2016 10:58 AM - JasonSolves: I am guessing that hotend / thermister / wiring are not perfect
Apr 27, 2016 10:58 AM - JeffTheMess: does your temp stay constant when not printing
Apr 27, 2016 10:59 AM - donhuevo: if the temp on the graph goes all the way to zero then it's bad thermister wiring
Apr 27, 2016 10:59 AM - JasonSolves: temp stays better when not moving
Apr 27, 2016 10:59 AM - JeffTheMess: must be faulty wiring
Apr 27, 2016 11:00 AM - JeffTheMess: I will be checking my wiring tonight
Apr 27, 2016 11:00 AM - JasonSolves: I ordered a v6 and stud thermistor from Matt
Apr 27, 2016 11:00 AM - JasonSolves: and added a titan just to cover my bases, but not 100% I can get that working without help
Apr 27, 2016 11:01 AM - JasonSolves: I can do the v6 no problem, but the either bowden or direct mount of the titan... not so much

 

Apr 27, 2016 11:01 AM - JeffTheMess: the v6 would due
Apr 27, 2016 11:03 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I had one before
Apr 27, 2016 11:03 AM - JasonSolves: I am finding with everything, just get the good stuff rather than the amazon/china knock off
Apr 27, 2016 11:03 AM - JasonSolves: headaches are not worth it
Apr 27, 2016 11:03 AM - JeffTheMess: yep
Apr 27, 2016 11:05 AM - JasonSolves: I really like the http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/e3d-titan-extruder.8246/page-13#post-74009
Apr 27, 2016 11:06 AM - JasonSolves: way tyler did this, and was thinking of doing that.... but we shall see. The interesting part is that if I get a new stepper motor
Apr 27, 2016 11:06 AM - JasonSolves: I should be able to keep the old one intact
Apr 27, 2016 11:06 AM - JeffTheMess: pancake stepper?
Apr 27, 2016 11:06 AM - JasonSolves: yeah
Apr 27, 2016 11:07 AM - JasonSolves: was thinking that would be amazing....
Apr 27, 2016 11:08 AM - donhuevo: bowden is more amazing
Apr 27, 2016 11:08 AM - JasonSolves: that is option 2.
Apr 27, 2016 11:09 AM - donhuevo: at least from a weight/inertia perspective
Apr 27, 2016 11:09 AM - JasonSolves: or more accurately Option 1
Apr 27, 2016 11:09 AM - JasonSolves: and don, I would guess no changes on the motor or carrage
Apr 27, 2016 11:10 AM - donhuevo: I'll be honest, I can't even remember what a robo carriage looks like now
Apr 27, 2016 11:10 AM - JeffTheMess: all you care for is inertia
Apr 27, 2016 11:11 AM - donhuevo: less inertia = more speed with the same accuracy
Apr 27, 2016 11:11 AM - JasonSolves: to be 100% honest
Apr 27, 2016 11:11 AM - donhuevo: and I care for puppies too
Apr 27, 2016 11:11 AM - JasonSolves: I just want things to work
Apr 27, 2016 11:12 AM - JasonSolves: and I guess if I replace all those parts it will work better
Apr 27, 2016 11:12 AM - donhuevo: besides the intermittent wiring, what else are you having issues with?
Apr 27, 2016 11:12 AM - JeffTheMess: the titan is a cute little guy...I saw novice expert going dual titan
Apr 27, 2016 11:12 AM - JasonSolves: nothing really. I was trying to do some non PLA
Apr 27, 2016 11:12 AM - JasonSolves: yes that one
Apr 27, 2016 11:12 AM - JasonSolves: and I could not get the temp anywhere close
Apr 27, 2016 11:13 AM - JasonSolves: and there were some level issues
Apr 27, 2016 11:13 AM - donhuevo: which version of the robo do you have?
Apr 27, 2016 11:13 AM - JasonSolves: R1 Special
Apr 27, 2016 11:13 AM - JasonSolves: no Plus
Apr 27, 2016 11:14 AM - toymaker: yo yo yo
Apr 27, 2016 11:14 AM - donhuevo: linear steppers for the z?
Apr 27, 2016 11:14 AM - donhuevo: 'sup toy
Apr 27, 2016 11:14 AM - JeffTheMess: toy
Apr 27, 2016 11:15 AM - JasonSolves: people have asked me that before
Apr 27, 2016 11:15 AM - JasonSolves: I think the answer is no
Apr 27, 2016 11:15 AM - toymaker: howdy
Apr 27, 2016 11:15 AM - donhuevo: so you have helical couplers at the bottoms of both your screws?
Apr 27, 2016 11:15 AM - JasonSolves: yes
Apr 27, 2016 11:15 AM - donhuevo: k
Apr 27, 2016 11:16 AM - donhuevo: and one or two z endstop switches?
Apr 27, 2016 11:16 AM - JasonSolves: two
Apr 27, 2016 11:16 AM - JasonSolves: the ones that are attached to the nuts.. right
Apr 27, 2016 11:16 AM - donhuevo: yep
Apr 27, 2016 11:17 AM - danzca6: don, he has couplers with the new leadscrews TR8s attached
Apr 27, 2016 11:17 AM - danzca6: that is why it is special edition
Apr 27, 2016 11:17 AM - donhuevo: but HfnC's nonetheless
Apr 27, 2016 11:17 AM - JasonSolves: see you guys remember more than me
Apr 27, 2016 11:17 AM - donhuevo: has anyone ever walked you through the paper leveling?
Apr 27, 2016 11:17 AM - JasonSolves: I forget everything once it starts printing
Apr 27, 2016 11:18 AM - toymaker: 2nd thing to buy after a 3d printer... is a dial indicator imo
Apr 27, 2016 11:18 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I had the original R1
Apr 27, 2016 11:18 AM - JasonSolves: I have one of those as well, never used it
Apr 27, 2016 11:18 AM - danzca6: well that only lasts about 10 minutes from what you are saying Jason
Apr 27, 2016 11:18 AM - JasonSolves: yeah I am like the blue fish in Nemo
Apr 27, 2016 11:18 AM - danzca6: Dori?
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - danzca6: haha
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - JasonSolves: funny you spell it that way
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - donhuevo: and is the 9 point auto leveling routine part of your start gcode?
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - JasonSolves: that is my Wifes name
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - JasonSolves: I think it is Dorey in the movie
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - danzca6: just keep printing, just keep printing
Apr 27, 2016 11:19 AM - JasonSolves: yea 9 points
Apr 27, 2016 11:20 AM - danzca6: haha...her parents spell as well as I do then
Apr 27, 2016 11:20 AM - JasonSolves: so, my grandad the sailor says that a Dorey is a Dinggy.
Apr 27, 2016 11:21 AM - JasonSolves: I lied it is Dory
Apr 27, 2016 11:21 AM - JasonSolves: and yes a Dingy
Apr 27, 2016 11:21 AM - donhuevo: don't know if I could marry a woman named Dingy
Apr 27, 2016 11:22 AM - JasonSolves: Yeah, tell that to 15 year ago Jason
Apr 27, 2016 11:22 AM - danzca6: well as long as your dingy is bigger than hers you should be fine
Apr 27, 2016 11:23 AM - JasonSolves: I will say something about by Robo. I have very little problems with adhesion
Apr 27, 2016 11:23 AM - danzca6: haha...oh man I shouldn't be drinking this early in the afternoon
Apr 27, 2016 11:23 AM - JasonSolves: just pretend you are in england
Apr 27, 2016 11:23 AM - toymaker: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/bed-leveling-tramming-paralleling-test
Apr 27, 2016 11:24 AM - JasonSolves: so toymaker, that is cool
Apr 27, 2016 11:24 AM - donhuevo: Jason, that's because you've been using PLA. I don't know what you're trying now
Apr 27, 2016 11:24 AM - JasonSolves: but you are assuming I know what to do with any info that print give me
Apr 27, 2016 11:25 AM - JasonSolves: Heated bed, Hairspray PLA works AWESOME
Apr 27, 2016 11:25 AM - donhuevo: if you can do the paper at each end of the x, then the z won't have to work as hard keeping things level
Apr 27, 2016 11:25 AM - toymaker: watch the video
Apr 27, 2016 11:26 AM - JeffTheMess: paper leveling is soo easy to do
Apr 27, 2016 11:27 AM - toymaker: i dont know if the new robo has bed adjustement screws but i stuck pieces of paper in between the magnets
Apr 27, 2016 11:27 AM - danzca6: a paper punch works great for getting the circles for that
Apr 27, 2016 11:27 AM - toymaker: smart
Apr 27, 2016 11:29 AM - donhuevo: I have to say, the z probe on a servo was one of the best mods I've done
Apr 27, 2016 11:29 AM - JasonSolves: oh
Apr 27, 2016 11:29 AM - JasonSolves: see toy, you answered my question
Apr 27, 2016 11:29 AM - toymaker: the best i ever got my bed from front to back was .0025
Apr 27, 2016 11:30 AM - toymaker: and that lasted about a day lol
Apr 27, 2016 11:30 AM - JasonSolves: that is darn good
Apr 27, 2016 11:30 AM - JasonSolves: I am going to try that. my offset is like -.7
Apr 27, 2016 11:30 AM - JasonSolves: oops
Apr 27, 2016 11:30 AM - JasonSolves: wrong idea
Apr 27, 2016 11:31 AM - donhuevo:
Apr 27, 2016 11:32 AM - toymaker: whats the accuracy and repeatibility of that switch don?
Apr 27, 2016 11:32 AM - donhuevo: perfect
Apr 27, 2016 11:33 AM - danzca6: I use an IR, but have to say the servo is pretty cool
Apr 27, 2016 11:33 AM - JeffTheMess: Don has the cleanest robo I have ever seen

 

Apr 27, 2016 11:35 AM - donhuevo:
Apr 27, 2016 11:35 AM - toymaker: i thnk the the biggest improvement i did in a while was adding artic silver thermal paste on the v6
Apr 27, 2016 11:36 AM - donhuevo: in the thermistor pocket?
Apr 27, 2016 11:36 AM - toymaker: threads that connect the stem to the heatsink
Apr 27, 2016 11:37 AM - donhuevo: ah
Apr 27, 2016 11:37 AM - toymaker: when i first did the v6 , year ago or so the instuctions didnt say to do it.... so i didnt....
Apr 27, 2016 11:37 AM - toymaker: i reread them llike a month ago and now they recommend doing it
Apr 27, 2016 11:38 AM - donhuevo: makes sense
Apr 27, 2016 11:38 AM - toymaker: havent had a jam sense then, and my jams where always in the stem part...
Apr 27, 2016 11:39 AM - danzca6: yeah they come with the paste now....smart improvement really
Apr 27, 2016 11:40 AM - toymaker: http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/File:V6_Assembly_-_AddCompound.jpg
Apr 27, 2016 11:40 AM - donhuevo: Next time I tear mine down, I'll have to do that
Apr 27, 2016 11:40 AM - toymaker: ez to overlook if u havent reread thier install instructions in a while
Apr 27, 2016 11:41 AM - donhuevo: I haven't had a jam yet though
Apr 27, 2016 11:42 AM - toymaker: i would use this... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
Apr 27, 2016 11:43 AM - toymaker: instead of what they ship
Apr 27, 2016 11:43 AM - danzca6: yeah I keep some of that on hand so I could use it when I put mine together...great stuff
Apr 27, 2016 11:43 AM - donhuevo: I thought I lost my tube of arctic silver a while ago and bought another then found the first. I want to say I did use it in the thermistor pocket
Apr 27, 2016 11:44 AM - toymaker: same thing when i install a cpu.... i remove all the stock thermal paste and use high quality artic silver
Apr 27, 2016 11:44 AM - TstarkEngineering: i fixed my dlp tv with that stuff. its awesome
Apr 27, 2016 11:45 AM - danzca6: I fixed my original xbox 360 with it
Apr 27, 2016 11:47 AM - toymaker: i might try that on the thermistor next time i pull it out
Apr 27, 2016 11:49 AM - toymaker: maybe not... http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_thermal_adhesive.htm says the range is up to 150c
Apr 27, 2016 11:49 AM - toymaker: ot 180 for the artic silver 5
Apr 27, 2016 11:49 AM - donhuevo: so I never understood why they (everybody) uses those big honkin' endstop switches when they're connected to a digital pin on the arduino and signal voltage is all that's running thru it
Apr 27, 2016 11:51 AM - JeffTheMess: cheaper?
Apr 27, 2016 11:51 AM - donhuevo: maybe
Apr 27, 2016 11:51 AM - donhuevo: easier to mount
Apr 27, 2016 11:51 AM - JeffTheMess: laziness?
Apr 27, 2016 11:51 AM - donhuevo: fat fingers?
Apr 27, 2016 11:52 AM - donhuevo: the way the robo is set up with the z, don't you have to lift 1/2 the weight of the whole x assembly off the switch?
Apr 27, 2016 11:53 AM - JeffTheMess: yep
Apr 27, 2016 11:53 AM - JeffTheMess: its brilliant
Apr 27, 2016 11:53 AM - donhuevo: and it's more weight on the motor side
Apr 27, 2016 11:54 AM - JeffTheMess: well they thought of the future where people would replace them as often as ink cartridges
Apr 27, 2016 11:55 AM - donhuevo: haha
Apr 27, 2016 12:02 PM - JasonSolves: speaking of that
Apr 27, 2016 12:02 PM - JasonSolves: I saw a printer last night that has a push button to remove the hot end
Apr 27, 2016 12:02 PM - JasonSolves: I think Joel had a video about it
Apr 27, 2016 12:02 PM - donhuevo: I can pull mine after popping off a clip
Apr 27, 2016 12:03 PM - JasonSolves: like it was a patented feature...
Apr 27, 2016 12:04 PM - donhuevo: perfect for the guy who gets a jam every other day
Apr 27, 2016 12:06 PM - JasonSolves: http://3dgence.com/
Apr 27, 2016 12:08 PM - JasonSolves: I kept thinking the same
Apr 27, 2016 12:08 PM - JasonSolves: I mean they only have the 3 sizes
Apr 27, 2016 12:08 PM - JasonSolves: Maybe if they added a laser or something
Apr 27, 2016 12:10 PM - donhuevo: $3k
Apr 27, 2016 12:24 PM - JasonSolves: yeah
Apr 27, 2016 12:24 PM - JasonSolves: way too high, that is why i did not remember it.
Apr 27, 2016 12:25 PM - JasonSolves: I guess I compare everything to the big box
Apr 27, 2016 12:26 PM - donhuevo: those swappable hot ends seems like a really bad idea too
Apr 27, 2016 12:55 PM - JasonSolves: yeah, unless they can suck it all out
Apr 27, 2016 12:56 PM - JasonSolves: kinda one of those we can, but no one asked if they should
Apr 27, 2016 12:56 PM - JasonSolves: boom, my print succeeded!
Apr 27, 2016 12:57 PM - danzca6: do it again, I think you did something wrong
Apr 27, 2016 12:57 PM - danzca6: haha
Apr 27, 2016 12:59 PM - JasonSolves: I am
Apr 27, 2016 1:34 PM - Tim Pilcher: Hi Guys, I have a problem with the extruder not heating up. I only got it today and havent used it yet.
Apr 27, 2016 1:46 PM - JasonSolves: is it plugged in?
Apr 27, 2016 1:47 PM - JasonSolves: I had this issue with the connector disconnecting near the head
Apr 27, 2016 2:28 PM - TstarkEngineering: what extruder, stock, e3d? did you install it?
Apr 27, 2016 3:35 PM - JeffTheMess: Said fuck it got a new stud, a display, ans my normal filament....everything should be okay now
Apr 27, 2016 4:12 PM - JasonSolves: wow, print # 4 in a row
Apr 27, 2016 4:23 PM - JeffTheMess: Lucky you how many hours so far?
Apr 27, 2016 4:35 PM - JasonSolves: a 3 hour print was good
Apr 27, 2016 4:35 PM - JasonSolves: then a 1 hour one
Apr 27, 2016 4:35 PM - JasonSolves: then a 2.5 hour one
Apr 27, 2016 4:36 PM - JasonSolves: now we are going for 5 hours
Apr 27, 2016 4:42 PM - JeffTheMess: Awesome
Apr 27, 2016 5:26 PM - JasonSolves: this print is rock solid on the temp
Apr 27, 2016 5:28 PM - JasonSolves:
Apr 27, 2016 5:28 PM - JasonSolves: maybe I will use the v6 and Titan for a new project...
Apr 27, 2016 5:52 PM - JeffTheMess: Maybe...or start turn robo into a beast
Apr 27, 2016 7:12 PM - daniel871: If it's working fine, don't fuck with it. Use it until it breaks and then change stuff.
Apr 27, 2016 7:14 PM - JasonSolves: roger than daniel

 

Apr 28, 2016 4:35 AM - JeffTheMess: Good morning Robonauts
Apr 28, 2016 4:36 AM - JeffTheMess: I guess Dan is right when we talk about the Robo...
Apr 28, 2016 4:55 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Apr 28, 2016 4:56 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey Bill
Apr 28, 2016 4:56 AM - Bill Monroe: Jeffey! howzit?
Apr 28, 2016 4:58 AM - JeffTheMess: order a new stud therm and a lcd so should fix my my mummified robo
Apr 28, 2016 4:58 AM - Bill Monroe: let us hope
Apr 28, 2016 4:58 AM - Bill Monroe: the boss is hot to get a printer now..
Apr 28, 2016 4:59 AM - Bill Monroe: he had an idea for a gadget to do position checking on my machine, asked me to design it, detail it, and get the machine shop to build one for a test
Apr 28, 2016 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: I designed it ok, them printed it and set it on my desk.
Apr 28, 2016 5:00 AM - JeffTheMess: oh what will you suggest to get
Apr 28, 2016 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: overnight
Apr 28, 2016 5:00 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 28, 2016 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: he found it when he came in yesterday (at 4 am).. had it working and loved it..
Apr 28, 2016 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: NOW he sees how 3D printing is useful
Apr 28, 2016 5:02 AM - JeffTheMess: I'd hope so for a company that make machines
Apr 28, 2016 5:02 AM - Bill Monroe: funny, he's only 4 years older than I, but he acts like he's living in the 1900s
Apr 28, 2016 5:02 AM - Bill Monroe: exactly
Apr 28, 2016 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe: I told him I'll just make one for the engineering office
Apr 28, 2016 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe: robust and reliable machines cost a small fortune (like Stratasys)
Apr 28, 2016 5:04 AM - JeffTheMess: investment
Apr 28, 2016 5:04 AM - Bill Monroe: hey! btw.. Stratasys has an service center 3 blocks from my office.. with an RC race track in the parking lot
Apr 28, 2016 5:05 AM - JeffTheMess: that sounds amazing
Apr 28, 2016 5:06 AM - Bill Monroe: and the largest 80/20 stocking distributor, who used to be about 1/4 mile away, is moving next door to them
Apr 28, 2016 5:07 AM - Bill Monroe: pretty soon, they'll all discover each other and.. Skynet will happen
Apr 28, 2016 5:09 AM - JeffTheMess: hey, atleast you will be an inside contact for me
Apr 28, 2016 5:09 AM - Bill Monroe: hmm? how so?
Apr 28, 2016 5:12 AM - JeffTheMess: they will need you bill duh
Apr 28, 2016 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: naw.. i plan to be leaving by year's end
Apr 28, 2016 5:29 AM - JeffTheMess: really
Apr 28, 2016 5:30 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, got things I want to do before I cant do things anymore
Apr 28, 2016 5:31 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah i understand
Apr 28, 2016 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: when do you think you'll get your mods made and be back in the saddle?
Apr 28, 2016 5:59 AM - JeffTheMess: I order them last night so next week hopefully
Apr 28, 2016 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe: <fingers crossed>
Apr 28, 2016 6:10 AM - JeffTheMess: you and me both
Apr 28, 2016 7:36 AM - JasonSolves: how are your all doing this fine morning?
Apr 28, 2016 7:37 AM - JasonSolves: Jeff, just as a note, when I say "Roger that" I mean I heard you.. not that I will blindly follow
Apr 28, 2016 7:47 AM - JeffTheMess: great
Apr 28, 2016 7:47 AM - JeffTheMess: how'd your prints come out
Apr 28, 2016 7:48 AM - TstarkEngineering: im doing ok. was making feet last night for my robo, after 5 hours into it i went to bed. woke up this morning to an unfinished print and the head in the home position....
Apr 28, 2016 7:51 AM - JasonSolves: so far so good
Apr 28, 2016 7:51 AM - JasonSolves: I wonder if the fan was taking too much power from the hot end heater
Apr 28, 2016 7:51 AM - JeffTheMess: power supply could handle it
Apr 28, 2016 7:52 AM - JasonSolves: I guess I mean the fan was set to go off and on
Apr 28, 2016 7:52 AM - JasonSolves: during the print
Apr 28, 2016 7:56 AM - JasonSolves: but then again... I have zero clue
Apr 28, 2016 7:56 AM - JasonSolves: I just know what I did and that it is working now....
Apr 28, 2016 7:56 AM - JasonSolves: 6 Chess pieces printed. 10 more to go
Apr 28, 2016 8:00 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Apr 28, 2016 8:00 AM - JasonSolves: then the fun of switching filament happens
Apr 28, 2016 8:01 AM - JeffTheMess: easy....you printing a normal chess set?
Apr 28, 2016 8:03 AM - JasonSolves: yes
Apr 28, 2016 8:03 AM - JasonSolves: as opposed to?
Apr 28, 2016 8:05 AM - JeffTheMess: extoics ones
Apr 28, 2016 8:06 AM - JeffTheMess: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1094870
Apr 28, 2016 8:06 AM - JeffTheMess: (as an example)
Apr 28, 2016 8:08 AM - JasonSolves: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34017
Apr 28, 2016 8:09 AM - donhuevo:
Apr 28, 2016 8:09 AM - JeffTheMess: nice don
Apr 28, 2016 8:10 AM - donhuevo: gracias
Apr 28, 2016 8:11 AM - JeffTheMess: the normal set seems a bit boring for a printer
Apr 28, 2016 8:12 AM - donhuevo: especially when you can buy it at a dollar store for a buck
Apr 28, 2016 8:18 AM - daniel871: That fractal chess set on Shapeways would be neat to print if the models were available and the entire set was done.
Apr 28, 2016 8:18 AM - JasonSolves: hey hey #1 what fun is "going to the store" and I am trying not to push my little robo too hard
Apr 28, 2016 8:19 AM - daniel871: http://imgur.com/a/zHYmK
Apr 28, 2016 8:19 AM - daniel871: I don't think the hobby level printers we play with can make those very well.
Apr 28, 2016 8:19 AM - daniel871: Well, maybe the "Knight"
Apr 28, 2016 8:20 AM - JeffTheMess: thats awesome
Apr 28, 2016 8:57 AM - JasonSolves: have you seen this http://3d.ford.com/
Apr 28, 2016 8:58 AM - JasonSolves: seems like $40+ for a 4in x 1.6in x 1.25in kinda high...
Apr 28, 2016 8:59 AM - JeffTheMess: pretty cool
Apr 28, 2016 9:01 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah thats high
Apr 28, 2016 9:03 AM - JasonSolves: but $5 for the STL
Apr 28, 2016 9:03 AM - JasonSolves: that seems alright
Apr 28, 2016 9:03 AM - JasonSolves: I bought the Raptor one
Apr 28, 2016 9:03 AM - JasonSolves: the tires/wheels are seperate
Apr 28, 2016 9:03 AM - JasonSolves: I am going to print one for my boss.
Apr 28, 2016 9:05 AM - JasonSolves: FYI the STL native viewing in OSX is pretty cool
Apr 28, 2016 9:05 AM - JasonSolves: rotatable and pretty good
Apr 28, 2016 9:37 AM - JasonSolves: So, I work from home... and just the sound of the robo printing helps me get through the day. I mean I feel like it is so quiet when it is not printing
Apr 28, 2016 9:39 AM - JasonSolves: FYI the Raptor STL file is named F150Raptor_v01_PLA.STL
Apr 28, 2016 9:42 AM - JasonSolves: encouraging for me
Apr 28, 2016 9:49 AM - danzca6: The had free ones when they launched that last year.
Apr 28, 2016 9:49 AM - danzca6: I wish they had my mustangs on there
Apr 28, 2016 9:51 AM - danzca6: BTW, this is a great idea. I think I am going to subscribe to it. Printed Solid is even involved in it. Pretty cool for trying new filaments.
Apr 28, 2016 9:53 AM - danzca6: If you decide to subscribe as well, make sure to use the promo code POOPTRACTOR. haha good old Joel
Apr 28, 2016 10:01 AM - danzca6: ugh...why don't they have the STL for this one? Man and it's the correct color and everything. http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-max-1967-mustang-fastback/885602
Apr 28, 2016 10:03 AM - JeffTheMess: a tad expensive?
Apr 28, 2016 10:03 AM - danzca6: well, $150...I will probably pay for it, but wish they had the STL so I could print my own
Apr 28, 2016 10:06 AM - danzca6: oh wait, it does..bye bye allowance
Apr 28, 2016 10:38 AM - daniel871: I don't get the subscription for samples that is more expensive than just getting samples from various manufacturers.
Apr 28, 2016 10:39 AM - daniel871: Also, globalFSD.com exists.
Apr 28, 2016 10:40 AM - daniel871: http://www.globalfsdusa.com/?target=main for people actually in the US instead of the UK.
Apr 28, 2016 10:55 AM - JasonSolves: I tried to sign up for MakerBox but their system is not working. Keeps Erring out on my creditcard...
Apr 28, 2016 11:12 AM - danzca6: www.makerbox.me is in the UK? Looks like the US to me.
Apr 28, 2016 11:19 AM - JeffTheMess: well this was a thing
Apr 28, 2016 11:20 AM - danzca6: another perk I guess is that you get 15% off coupon code in each box if you want to buy a full roll of any of the sample materials. May not be cheaper, but give you access to more kinds of filament to try
Apr 28, 2016 11:21 AM - danzca6: billy mays...rip
Apr 28, 2016 12:13 PM - daniel871: Man, some people got really bored.

 

Apr 28, 2016 12:37 PM - daniel871:
Apr 28, 2016 12:49 PM - danzca6: signs and waning labels...we shake our heads at them at times, but they are all there because somebody did it
Apr 28, 2016 1:39 PM - NFOsec: So, no LSD or caffeine. Sad.
Apr 28, 2016 1:40 PM - NFOsec: well, warning signs are just as bad as some laws sometimes. I think I remember there was a town in Ohio that made it illegal to have an alligator in your bathtub, smoking a cigar.
Apr 28, 2016 1:40 PM - NFOsec: It's more of a crime to have a Robo without an E3Dv6 and Bondtech.
Apr 28, 2016 1:41 PM - NFOsec: printing in this eSun bronze at the moment, interesting color.
Apr 28, 2016 2:02 PM - NFOsec: What's going on in Robolund?
Apr 28, 2016 2:15 PM - NFOsec: Jeff: That video is probably how Billy Mays felt all the time with the stuff in his system. WHEW!
Apr 28, 2016 2:22 PM - JeffTheMess: Lol
Apr 28, 2016 2:23 PM - JeffTheMess: Its probably was
Apr 28, 2016 2:24 PM - JeffTheMess: Hows your machine handling the bronze
Apr 28, 2016 2:50 PM - NFOsec: marvelous actually.
Apr 28, 2016 2:51 PM - NFOsec: I think it's really a bronze PLA and not a branze infused. I have an aluminum infused and it ran beautifully.
Apr 28, 2016 2:52 PM - NFOsec: I'm using a hardened nozzle at the moment, but definitely not something that would rip this thing up prematurely.
Apr 28, 2016 2:52 PM - NFOsec: just swapped out to put in Taulman BluePrint so I can print my high heat pipe clamps for the steam box I'm building for bending wood.
Apr 28, 2016 3:05 PM - JeffTheMess: You always use harden nozzle fir everything
Apr 28, 2016 3:14 PM - NFOsec: no, most of the time a decent brass, but I have stainless and hardened.
Apr 28, 2016 3:14 PM - NFOsec: I like to wear the brass down to nothing then swap out with a new set since they're cheap enough.
Apr 28, 2016 3:20 PM - JeffTheMess: Yeah...how often would you change the bronze i had mine for a year now
Apr 28, 2016 3:23 PM - NFOsec: only once, I ended up running through quite a bit through the past 6 months.
Apr 28, 2016 3:23 PM - NFOsec: only one nozzle got really spread up like a nympho.
Apr 28, 2016 3:28 PM - NFOsec: So, what have you been doing these days on the print world?
Apr 28, 2016 3:28 PM - NFOsec: I'm going to make that Air Raid siren I saw...
Apr 28, 2016 3:32 PM - NFOsec: bbiaf.
Apr 28, 2016 7:06 PM - Bill Monroe: good evening

 

Apr 29, 2016 4:19 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning roboneers happy Friday
Apr 29, 2016 4:20 AM - Bill Monroe: Hey Jeff!
Apr 29, 2016 4:21 AM - JeffTheMess: Bill!, how goes it
Apr 29, 2016 4:21 AM - Bill Monroe: pretty good, you?
Apr 29, 2016 4:22 AM - JeffTheMess: pretty good, gotta come in to work tomorrow but good
Apr 29, 2016 4:23 AM - Bill Monroe: eww
Apr 29, 2016 4:23 AM - Bill Monroe: what do you do?
Apr 29, 2016 4:24 AM - JeffTheMess: wireless compliance
Apr 29, 2016 4:24 AM - JeffTheMess: for consumer products
Apr 29, 2016 4:24 AM - Bill Monroe: ah
Apr 29, 2016 4:25 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah anything consumer wise is rush rush rush
Apr 29, 2016 4:25 AM - Bill Monroe: in pursuit of legal tender....
Apr 29, 2016 4:26 AM - JeffTheMess: indeed
Apr 29, 2016 4:34 AM - Bill Monroe: whoa.. local guy here actually had a high speed chase by cops and choppers.. and lost them
Apr 29, 2016 4:36 AM - JeffTheMess: in a car?
Apr 29, 2016 4:36 AM - JeffTheMess: or bike
Apr 29, 2016 4:36 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. little red coupe of some asian origin
Apr 29, 2016 4:37 AM - JeffTheMess: skills I guess
Apr 29, 2016 4:37 AM - Bill Monroe: well, imho, it's lack of skills from our cops
Apr 29, 2016 4:38 AM - Bill Monroe: the cops here are chicken-shit buffoons
Apr 29, 2016 4:38 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, that's true, you might loose the cars but a chopper, come on
Apr 29, 2016 4:39 AM - Bill Monroe: heh ya, the choppers especially.. from beginning to end the air department is just wrong
Apr 29, 2016 4:42 AM - JeffTheMess: thats sucks
Apr 29, 2016 4:43 AM - Bill Monroe: even the way the aquired the choppers was morally and ethically wrong
Apr 29, 2016 4:44 AM - Bill Monroe: they hire pilots and send them through their "academy" instead of training cops how to fly.. that's ass backwards
Apr 29, 2016 4:48 AM - JeffTheMess: it's was in budget.
Apr 29, 2016 4:48 AM - Bill Monroe: here, i dont think so.. they operate as if they dont have a budget
Apr 29, 2016 4:52 AM - Bill Monroe: yay! finally figured out how to make the part I want in solidworks
Apr 29, 2016 4:52 AM - JeffTheMess: nice for you or work
Apr 29, 2016 4:53 AM - Bill Monroe: me
Apr 29, 2016 4:53 AM - Bill Monroe: making a bomb bay for one of my RC planes
Apr 29, 2016 4:53 AM - Bill Monroe: did one before but I lost the files somehow and couldnt remember how I did it
Apr 29, 2016 4:53 AM - JeffTheMess: careful who you tell that to
Apr 29, 2016 4:54 AM - Bill Monroe: heh
Apr 29, 2016 4:54 AM - JeffTheMess: you have the whole plane modeled too?
Apr 29, 2016 4:54 AM - Bill Monroe: the local 99 cent stores sell these little packs of parachute guys.. 4 for 99c
Apr 29, 2016 4:55 AM - Bill Monroe: naw.. just the area that holds the battery.. i moved the battery to another location leaving huge hole in the cavity. tha leaves me with a large space in he belly I can use for other things
Apr 29, 2016 4:56 AM - daniel871: Print up that air raid siren and mount it somewhere on the plane.
Apr 29, 2016 4:57 AM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1103061
Apr 29, 2016 4:58 AM - daniel871:
Apr 29, 2016 4:58 AM - daniel871: Skip to about 40 seconds in.
Apr 29, 2016 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: ust another reason to make people hate RC
Apr 29, 2016 5:03 AM - JeffTheMess: thats pretty cool
Apr 29, 2016 6:17 AM - JasonSolves: good morning
Apr 29, 2016 6:17 AM - JasonSolves: so just a quick update. I started the f150 Raptor print last night
Apr 29, 2016 6:18 AM - JeffTheMess: you got a live feed?
Apr 29, 2016 6:18 AM - JasonSolves: according to S3d 7 hours and 45 minutes
Apr 29, 2016 6:18 AM - JasonSolves: nope
Apr 29, 2016 6:18 AM - JasonSolves: but about 11 hours in
Apr 29, 2016 6:18 AM - JasonSolves: and still printing
Apr 29, 2016 6:19 AM - JasonSolves: odd this morning coming to look at it, expecting it to be done
Apr 29, 2016 6:19 AM - JasonSolves: and hearing the printer still moving
Apr 29, 2016 6:19 AM - JasonSolves: but it looks pretty good
Apr 29, 2016 6:19 AM - JasonSolves: 90% done
Apr 29, 2016 6:19 AM - JeffTheMess: most slicers get the time wrong
Apr 29, 2016 6:20 AM - JasonSolves: I am going to take kids to school and go to a IEP meeting. should be done by then and I will send some pictures before and after I remove it
Apr 29, 2016 6:20 AM - JasonSolves: yeah I am aware of the time difference
Apr 29, 2016 6:21 AM - JasonSolves: I was just excited about 11 hours of printing!
Apr 29, 2016 6:21 AM - JasonSolves: talk it a few hours!
Apr 29, 2016 6:21 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah atleast you know its working
Apr 29, 2016 6:23 AM - JasonSolves: now if I could get my wifi better down here I could get octoprint working...
Apr 29, 2016 6:23 AM - JeffTheMess: get tomato firmware
Apr 29, 2016 6:25 AM - danzca6: ?
Apr 29, 2016 6:28 AM - danzca6: oh, never heard of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_(firmware)
Apr 29, 2016 6:29 AM - JeffTheMess: basically steroids for your wireless router
Apr 29, 2016 6:33 AM - danzca6: yeah, not sure it would work on my Linksys though
Apr 29, 2016 6:35 AM - JeffTheMess: tomato specializes with Linksys
Apr 29, 2016 6:36 AM - danzca6: only certain models it looks like and last release was 5 years ago. my linksys is only a year old
Apr 29, 2016 6:39 AM - daniel871: Haha, damn.
Apr 29, 2016 6:56 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 29, 2016 7:07 AM - TstarkEngineering: having major issues with my titan...this is frightening
Apr 29, 2016 7:09 AM - JeffTheMess: your going direct or bowden
Apr 29, 2016 7:10 AM - daniel871: I've got mine all mounted up on the Robo in a Bowden setup because fuck it, now I just need to get a working controller setup to actually drive the Robo.
Apr 29, 2016 7:11 AM - JeffTheMess: ive heard smoothieboard it good
Apr 29, 2016 7:11 AM - danzca6: What's up Tyler
Apr 29, 2016 7:11 AM - daniel871: I'm saving my Smoothieboard funds for a delta/CNC mill build, I'm not wasting that controller on the Robo's frame.
Apr 29, 2016 7:12 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah that is true
Apr 29, 2016 7:15 AM - daniel871: I've got one of those cheap generic kits off Amazon to put together, just going to print the Full Graphics LCD holder since that display came with the kit and put everything together that way.
Apr 29, 2016 7:15 AM - TstarkEngineering: you can check my thread out on the bigbox forum
Apr 29, 2016 7:15 AM - TstarkEngineering: basically it wont drive abs
Apr 29, 2016 7:15 AM - TstarkEngineering: it either shreds it. or wont drive it, there is no inbetween
Apr 29, 2016 7:16 AM - daniel871: I had that problem with the stock Robo extruder.
Apr 29, 2016 7:16 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning gents.
Apr 29, 2016 7:16 AM - JeffTheMess: morning
Apr 29, 2016 7:16 AM - daniel871: I'd suspect a gap somewhere in the assembly that allows the ABS to snag/bind.
Apr 29, 2016 7:16 AM - TstarkEngineering: its quite odd ive checked almost everything, and I am starting to think its the design
Apr 29, 2016 7:17 AM - WheresWaldo: Is @dancza6 still on?
Apr 29, 2016 7:17 AM - daniel871: The stock Robo carriage I had turned out to have a massive hole in the Wade carriage that allowed the ABS filament to buckle *inside the carriage* between the bolt and the hexagon.
Apr 29, 2016 7:18 AM - daniel871: Had to install a PTFE tube section just to keep ABS running straight before it started going to hell on the controller.
Apr 29, 2016 7:18 AM - TstarkEngineering: i pulled the entire v6 and titan apart and changed out the PTFE tube, no change
Apr 29, 2016 7:18 AM - daniel871: How strong is the stepper you're using?
Apr 29, 2016 7:22 AM - TstarkEngineering: less strong than the stock nema 17
Apr 29, 2016 7:22 AM - TstarkEngineering: itll drive the material just fine
Apr 29, 2016 7:23 AM - TstarkEngineering: i just need to adjust the screw on the titan to where it drives so far into the material it extrudes funky because half of the diameter had teeth marks in it
Apr 29, 2016 7:31 AM - daniel871: I could see teeth marks being a problem on a bowden setup, but not direct drive.
Apr 29, 2016 7:41 AM - danzca6: I'm back...sorry had a meeting to run to
Apr 29, 2016 7:42 AM - danzca6: do you have another PTFE tube attached to the top of the idler lever
Apr 29, 2016 7:43 AM - TstarkEngineering: nope, but i did try that to see if it changed something
Apr 29, 2016 7:43 AM - danzca6: I know E3D said that was needed for 1.75
Apr 29, 2016 7:43 AM - danzca6: no diff though?

 

Apr 29, 2016 7:43 AM - TstarkEngineering: im talking with josh from e3d. he said hes never seen whats happening before to my filament
Apr 29, 2016 7:45 AM - danzca6: between that and the issue @KTMDirtFace is having with flex, makes me think the Titan isn't a magic bullet.
Apr 29, 2016 7:46 AM - danzca6: mine had some spec issues I had to and ream to correct. So maybe there are some production issues giving folks mixed results
Apr 29, 2016 7:46 AM - TstarkEngineering: ya he was concerned about the hobb gear
Apr 29, 2016 7:51 AM - danzca6: I'll have to find your thread on E3D
Apr 29, 2016 7:52 AM - TstarkEngineering: its in the troubleshooting part
Apr 29, 2016 7:55 AM - daniel871: Titan not extruding correctly
Apr 29, 2016 7:57 AM - TstarkEngineering: yup
Apr 29, 2016 7:58 AM - WheresWaldo: I'm back
Apr 29, 2016 8:01 AM - danzca6: Morning WW
Apr 29, 2016 8:02 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning Dan, saw your earlier post on router firmware so I took the liberty of sending you a message.
Apr 29, 2016 8:07 AM - danzca6: ah, jsut saw the notifaction for that. Thanks. I will have to check that out
Apr 29, 2016 8:10 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah, I saw JTM suggest Tomato, it is dated and not currently being developed. Had a bunch of cool stuff, but no longer a real option anymore.
Apr 29, 2016 8:11 AM - danzca6: Just as long as I don't brick my router playing with it
Apr 29, 2016 8:11 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, lucky for me I do alot of work with broadcom chips so I can access stuff through teraterm
Apr 29, 2016 8:12 AM - WheresWaldo: On my WNDR3700v2 I am running the edge build of Chaos Calmer. I have installed both dd-wrt then back to factory then openwrt all in the same day without bricking.
Apr 29, 2016 8:13 AM - WheresWaldo: I only use it as a firewall/router/DHCP server. I have an Asus AC router for all our home wireless.
Apr 29, 2016 8:14 AM - danzca6: yeah I have a couple older linksys routers that I might play with. I seem to upgrade every other year
Apr 29, 2016 8:14 AM - WheresWaldo: But I still live in the past and most of our devices (XBox, XBone, Smart TV's, PC's) are all hardwired.
Apr 29, 2016 8:15 AM - JeffTheMess: Thats the way to go, for stationary devices
Apr 29, 2016 8:15 AM - danzca6: I do that as much as possible as well. The house we have now doesn't have a lot of easily accessible ways to run new cat5, so wireless is the simple way out
Apr 29, 2016 8:16 AM - JeffTheMess: or a ghetto fiber with a laser lol
Apr 29, 2016 8:17 AM - WheresWaldo: Even my Robo is hardwired to the network through an rPi as well as an older Epson network laser printer.
Apr 29, 2016 8:18 AM - WheresWaldo: All of our phone lines were wired with CAT5 so I just converted all of them to network jacks using new keystone jacks.
Apr 29, 2016 8:18 AM - danzca6: lucky
Apr 29, 2016 8:20 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah, but I have a closet that gets about 10°-20° warmer than the rest of the house with all the equipment in it.
Apr 29, 2016 8:21 AM - JeffTheMess: hope you have cheap electric rate
Apr 29, 2016 8:26 AM - WheresWaldo: Not too bad.
Apr 29, 2016 8:30 AM - JeffTheMess: i need one
Apr 29, 2016 8:31 AM - daniel871: The printer or the dancing thing? Because that printer is garbage for how expensive it is.
Apr 29, 2016 8:32 AM - JeffTheMess: dancing thing
Apr 29, 2016 8:32 AM - daniel871: Only good thing on that printer is the Bondtech-inspired extruder setup. The actual frame and lack of heated bed though?
Apr 29, 2016 8:33 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah I heard that thing is crap
Apr 29, 2016 8:34 AM - daniel871: Probably more reliable on the electronic side than the Robo though.
Apr 29, 2016 8:35 AM - JeffTheMess: (i think the tiko is more reliable than a robo)
Apr 29, 2016 9:11 AM - TstarkEngineering: tiki or tiko?
Apr 29, 2016 9:13 AM - JeffTheMess: look up
Apr 29, 2016 9:17 AM - TstarkEngineering: lol
Apr 29, 2016 9:48 AM - danzca6: interesting...does anyone have an R1+Plus?
Apr 29, 2016 9:48 AM - danzca6: http://guide.robo3d.com/Wiki/ROBO_3D_Firmware_Release_Notes Robo released a V2 of the firmware for it
Apr 29, 2016 9:50 AM - danzca6: I might have to do a compare to see what they have added over the leadscrew upgrade version. That is the version they had linked there the last time I looked.
Apr 29, 2016 9:50 AM - JeffTheMess: are they forgetting about the R1 already
Apr 29, 2016 9:52 AM - daniel871: Nah, probably just finally getting around to uploading firmware for the R1+
Apr 29, 2016 9:52 AM - daniel871: Still the old version of Marlin they've been using though.
Apr 29, 2016 9:53 AM - JeffTheMess: what they need to do is sort out the mesh leveling even though waldo did it for them
Apr 29, 2016 9:53 AM - daniel871: They'd have to give him credit for that.
Apr 29, 2016 9:55 AM - danzca6: they uploaded firmware for the R1+ a few weeks ago, but the link pointed to the leadscrew...so this is new...er. Just curious on what they changed. Ah...lunch time...I'll crack it open and see
Apr 29, 2016 9:55 AM - JeffTheMess: most likely people will update it and then robo won't say nothing just taking the credit
Apr 29, 2016 9:56 AM - daniel871: Nah, I've already looked at it and the firmware is still the same version of Marlin they've been using, they're not changing to the new version with mesh leveling.
Apr 29, 2016 9:57 AM - daniel871: Looks like there might just be some adjustments to the Zprobe offset values and maybe something for the axis limits for the auto leveling, but I haven't done a good comparison.
Apr 29, 2016 10:03 AM - JeffTheMess: great
Apr 29, 2016 10:10 AM - JeffTheMess:
Apr 29, 2016 10:11 AM - danzca6: man, putting the z offset into the firmware is going to through some folks I bet since most things out there shows it in the starting gcode
Apr 29, 2016 10:12 AM - JeffTheMess: could you control that through lcd?
Apr 29, 2016 10:14 AM - danzca6: marlin_main.cpp had some changes
Apr 29, 2016 10:14 AM - danzca6: //SECRET START - Austin Smith 2/24/16
Apr 29, 2016 10:15 AM - danzca6: then they added all of this SERIAL_PROTOCOL* stuff...I will have to see what this all means.
Apr 29, 2016 10:17 AM - danzca6: looks like that secret start is initializing the sd reader and then opening robo~1.gco then sending a startFileprint
Apr 29, 2016 10:18 AM - danzca6: I wonder what that is all about
Apr 29, 2016 10:19 AM - JeffTheMess: preparing for r2!?
Apr 29, 2016 10:20 AM - danzca6: maybe skynet is infecting our R1+ to start creating an army or R2 machines...haha
Apr 29, 2016 10:20 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 29, 2016 10:22 AM - danzca6: looks like the added SERIAL_PROTOCOLPGM/SERIAL_PROTOCOL code is just reporting back values for more info to the user
Apr 29, 2016 10:22 AM - JeffTheMess: r2 will have an lcd on board right
Apr 29, 2016 10:24 AM - danzca6: that is the rumor...touch screen as well
Apr 29, 2016 10:24 AM - TstarkEngineering: whats this r2 you speak of?
Apr 29, 2016 10:24 AM - danzca6: a droid lost many moons ago
Apr 29, 2016 10:24 AM - danzca6: just looking at the new R1+ V2 firmware and seeing what the diffs are T
Apr 29, 2016 10:24 AM - JeffTheMess: its the unicorn
Apr 29, 2016 10:25 AM - JasonSolves: http://imgur.com/a/nMkQo
Apr 29, 2016 10:25 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha.....
Apr 29, 2016 10:26 AM - JeffTheMess: pretty good
Apr 29, 2016 10:26 AM - JeffTheMess: strom trooper last one
Apr 29, 2016 10:26 AM - TstarkEngineering: cool truck
Apr 29, 2016 10:28 AM - danzca6: Jason, that came out pretty good
Apr 29, 2016 10:28 AM - JasonSolves: I agree!
Apr 29, 2016 10:29 AM - JeffTheMess: how long was that print
Apr 29, 2016 10:29 AM - JasonSolves: about 12 hours
Apr 29, 2016 10:30 AM - danzca6: I guess you are back in the game
Apr 29, 2016 10:30 AM - JasonSolves: Total build time: 709.96 minutes
Apr 29, 2016 10:30 AM - danzca6: if you can cook a 12 hour print you are good to go
Apr 29, 2016 10:30 AM - TstarkEngineering: im jealous of your 12 hour prints
Apr 29, 2016 10:32 AM - JeffTheMess: I think JB had the longest print here like 30 something hours
Apr 29, 2016 10:32 AM - TstarkEngineering: I think its capable of doing it. the concept is there....
Apr 29, 2016 10:37 AM - danzca6: anyone know what a .gco file extension is?
Apr 29, 2016 10:38 AM - JasonSolves: not g code?
Apr 29, 2016 10:38 AM - TstarkEngineering: that would be when the lizard from the gieko insurance levels your bed for you
Apr 29, 2016 10:38 AM - danzca6: you know...
Apr 29, 2016 10:38 AM - JeffTheMess: https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Host/issues/118 save?
Apr 29, 2016 10:39 AM - danzca6: thanks Jeff
Apr 29, 2016 10:39 AM - danzca6: now I want to know what is robo~1.gco that they hid in the firmware
Apr 29, 2016 10:40 AM - JeffTheMess: they are doing what makerbot and everyone else is doing with an lcd
Apr 29, 2016 10:40 AM - TstarkEngineering: whats that?
Apr 29, 2016 10:41 AM - JeffTheMess: a custom built lcd for there brand
Apr 29, 2016 10:42 AM - danzca6: right after the checkHitEndstops(); lcd_update(); in the Merlin_main code they snuck in this Secret Start code
Apr 29, 2016 10:42 AM - TstarkEngineering: ah well I guess thats cool
Apr 29, 2016 10:42 AM - danzca6: given a certain condition, they open that .gco file and send a card.startFilePrint()
Apr 29, 2016 10:43 AM - TstarkEngineering: isnt the r2 toucchscreen too?
Apr 29, 2016 10:43 AM - JeffTheMess: "maybe"
Apr 29, 2016 10:43 AM - danzca6: anyone have a new R1+ with the factory SD card?

 

Apr 29, 2016 10:44 AM - JeffTheMess: the only reason they want to through it in there now is to make sure it don't mess with everything else
Apr 29, 2016 10:44 AM - danzca6: I wonder if the gco file is on there
Apr 29, 2016 10:45 AM - TstarkEngineering: i do dan but i removed it to use an lcd
Apr 29, 2016 10:46 AM - danzca6: well, lunch is over...ugh...now my ocd is going to kick in until I know what this secret start is really trying to do
Apr 29, 2016 10:47 AM - danzca6: and who is this Austin Smith that put it there
Apr 29, 2016 10:48 AM - danzca6: haha...I can tell it is a Friday
Apr 29, 2016 10:48 AM - JeffTheMess: you just spoiled your weekend with this
Apr 29, 2016 10:49 AM - danzca6: maybe
Apr 29, 2016 10:50 AM - TstarkEngineering: its probably just do to the factory sd card slot...since there are no buttons it has to autostart somehow
Apr 29, 2016 10:51 AM - danzca6: no...this is more than that
Apr 29, 2016 10:52 AM - danzca6: it is looking for a special sequence to happen and then calls into this code
Apr 29, 2016 10:52 AM - JeffTheMess: I could bet money they are making there own lcd
Apr 29, 2016 10:55 AM - TstarkEngineering: well that stinks if thats the case. lol
Apr 29, 2016 10:56 AM - danzca6: I don't think this code has anything to do with an LCD, but will find out
Apr 29, 2016 10:56 AM - TstarkEngineering: so its more like which one will be released first? the r2 or the lcd
Apr 29, 2016 10:56 AM - JeffTheMess: ive seen that code for makerbot
Apr 29, 2016 10:56 AM - JeffTheMess: .gco
Apr 29, 2016 10:57 AM - TstarkEngineering: dan can you post the code
Apr 29, 2016 10:57 AM - danzca6: in here or a thread
Apr 29, 2016 10:57 AM - TstarkEngineering: or a link, not sure if its worth a thread yet
Apr 29, 2016 10:57 AM - TstarkEngineering: whereswaldo? hes good with firmware shouldnt he know
Apr 29, 2016 10:58 AM - danzca6: let me try this...I will delete it if it comes out crap
Apr 29, 2016 10:58 AM - TstarkEngineering: k
Apr 29, 2016 10:59 AM - JeffTheMess: good luck
Apr 29, 2016 10:59 AM - danzca6: ugh...no not an easy link...If you download the new R1+ V2 firmware and look at the Marlin_main.cpp code on lines 565-603 you will see it
Apr 29, 2016 10:59 AM - TstarkEngineering: k
Apr 29, 2016 11:01 AM - danzca6: A specific condition has to be true with the endstop status and such, does a pause, checks to see if the x endstop status changed, then goes into a loop to see if the Y enstop changes, pauses, checks y to change again, then initializes the print of that .gco file from the sd card
Apr 29, 2016 11:02 AM - danzca6: it's like trying to get 100 lives in contra
Apr 29, 2016 11:02 AM - TstarkEngineering: how the hell did you find that
Apr 29, 2016 11:03 AM - TstarkEngineering: i dont think my sd card has the robo~1.gco file on it though
Apr 29, 2016 11:03 AM - danzca6: notepad++ file compare
Apr 29, 2016 11:03 AM - JeffTheMess: Dan has a very specific skill set
Apr 29, 2016 11:03 AM - TstarkEngineering: so you need to find the .gco file then
Apr 29, 2016 11:03 AM - TstarkEngineering: and thats what youll see
Apr 29, 2016 11:03 AM - danzca6: right
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - TstarkEngineering: its plans to build a spaceship
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - TstarkEngineering: lol
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - danzca6: a little easter egg
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - TstarkEngineering: its definitely printing something out
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - TstarkEngineering: but what is it
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - TstarkEngineering: first thing ill do when i get home is take a look at my sd but i dont think its on there...
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - danzca6: I hope it is
Apr 29, 2016 11:04 AM - TstarkEngineering: hmmm wait i might have copied the info over... 1 sec
Apr 29, 2016 11:05 AM - TstarkEngineering: it may be on my laptop
Apr 29, 2016 11:05 AM - TstarkEngineering: give me a few min and cross your fingers
Apr 29, 2016 11:05 AM - danzca6: ok
Apr 29, 2016 11:06 AM - TstarkEngineering: nope there were only 3 things on the sd card. mattercontrolsetup, mattercontrol setup pkg, and an mp4 file
Apr 29, 2016 11:07 AM - danzca6: not even a hidden file
Apr 29, 2016 11:07 AM - TstarkEngineering: might be how would i unhide it?
Apr 29, 2016 11:08 AM - danzca6: tools-folder options-show hidden
Apr 29, 2016 11:08 AM - danzca6: under view tab
Apr 29, 2016 11:08 AM - TstarkEngineering: well now ill have to try when i get home because i doubt you can copy hidden items over
Apr 29, 2016 11:09 AM - TstarkEngineering: so its on the sd card if it is
Apr 29, 2016 11:09 AM - danzca6: the mystery is killing me
Apr 29, 2016 11:09 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 29, 2016 11:10 AM - danzca6: I know...it will be something stupid
Apr 29, 2016 11:10 AM - TstarkEngineering: lol now youve got me hooked. i cant look for 4 hours
Apr 29, 2016 11:10 AM - TstarkEngineering: its 50 miles away lol
Apr 29, 2016 11:10 AM - danzca6: it will probably print "Braydon was here"
Apr 29, 2016 11:11 AM - JeffTheMess: "and your all my bitches"
Apr 29, 2016 11:11 AM - danzca6: LMAO
Apr 29, 2016 11:11 AM - danzca6: "The R2 isn't real you suckas"
Apr 29, 2016 11:12 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 29, 2016 11:13 AM - TstarkEngineering: lol
Apr 29, 2016 11:14 AM - TstarkEngineering: what possibly could that file be
Apr 29, 2016 11:15 AM - TstarkEngineering: so whats the sequence to starting it. x axis against x switch and thats it?
Apr 29, 2016 11:15 AM - danzca6: I know...it's gcode that makes your Robo sing the imperial march
Apr 29, 2016 11:16 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha could be
Apr 29, 2016 11:16 AM - danzca6: and y is off the min and not sd printing
Apr 29, 2016 11:16 AM - danzca6: the testcode variable is something they added an initialized to 0
Apr 29, 2016 11:17 AM - danzca6: you then have 200 ms to take x off the min switch
Apr 29, 2016 11:17 AM - danzca6: that seems really fast
Apr 29, 2016 11:18 AM - danzca6: because you need to get testcode to a value of 2 to enter into the while loop
Apr 29, 2016 11:18 AM - TstarkEngineering: wait wait say that again as if you are talking to a 7 year old boy
Apr 29, 2016 11:19 AM - danzca6: haha
Apr 29, 2016 11:20 AM - TstarkEngineering: also it wouldnt be hard to change that 200ms to 2seconds
Apr 29, 2016 11:21 AM - danzca6: true
Apr 29, 2016 11:21 AM - danzca6: the next pause is 2000 ms to engage the y endstop
Apr 29, 2016 11:21 AM - danzca6: then the magic happens
Apr 29, 2016 11:22 AM - TstarkEngineering: lol i so hope there is a file on the sd later when i look
Apr 29, 2016 11:22 AM - JasonSolves: "then the magic happens" that sounds less than techinical
Apr 29, 2016 11:22 AM - TstarkEngineering: its plans to build an r2
Apr 29, 2016 11:23 AM - danzca6: Is this the austin smith that put this code in place? http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Austin-Smith/-1829981682
Apr 29, 2016 11:23 AM - TstarkEngineering: though i bet my sd card doesnt have it, because he only wrote that into the code on 2/24
Apr 29, 2016 11:24 AM - danzca6: who lives closest to San Diego? I think we need to knock on some doors
Apr 29, 2016 11:24 AM - danzca6: haha
Apr 29, 2016 11:25 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha actually im only 30 miles away
Apr 29, 2016 11:25 AM - JasonSolves: I will be there on the 9th
Apr 29, 2016 11:26 AM - danzca6: Jason...you are our inside man
Apr 29, 2016 11:26 AM - TstarkEngineering: Bill lives even closer than me though
Apr 29, 2016 11:26 AM - JeffTheMess: Bill isn't too far
Apr 29, 2016 11:26 AM - danzca6: you have to find out wha tthis is
Apr 29, 2016 11:26 AM - JasonSolves: I have a plan...
Apr 29, 2016 11:26 AM - JasonSolves: brb
Apr 29, 2016 11:28 AM - TstarkEngineering: ut o
Apr 29, 2016 11:29 AM - danzca6: we're getting the band back together
Apr 29, 2016 11:31 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha
Apr 29, 2016 11:32 AM - TstarkEngineering: I wonder if the guys at robo ever look at these convos
Apr 29, 2016 11:32 AM - TstarkEngineering: they are probably laughing so hard at us right now
Apr 29, 2016 11:32 AM - JeffTheMess: nope your safe

 

Apr 29, 2016 11:32 AM - danzca6: it's a slow Friday for sure
Apr 29, 2016 11:33 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah, really never do robo people come on here
Apr 29, 2016 11:35 AM - TstarkEngineering: they just have a flag that comes up and alerts them as soon as the words secret start are murmered
Apr 29, 2016 11:36 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Apr 29, 2016 11:36 AM - JasonSolves: is the full file name "robo~1.gco"
Apr 29, 2016 11:36 AM - danzca6: probably not
Apr 29, 2016 11:37 AM - danzca6: pobably just when long file names get shortened in some os when doing an ls command
Apr 29, 2016 11:38 AM - danzca6: Jason, do you know what we are looking at? In the new firmware files for the R1+
Apr 29, 2016 11:38 AM - danzca6: the "Secret Start" that Austin Smith injected into the Marlin_main.cpp
Apr 29, 2016 11:39 AM - JasonSolves: yeah
Apr 29, 2016 11:41 AM - TstarkEngineering: any luck jason? ar eyou looking on your sc card?
Apr 29, 2016 11:41 AM - TstarkEngineering: look under hidden files too
Apr 29, 2016 11:42 AM - JeffTheMess: no pressure Jason but if you dont find it they will come for you
Apr 29, 2016 11:42 AM - danzca6: I bet he has Braydon's cell phone number
Apr 29, 2016 11:42 AM - JasonSolves: I do
Apr 29, 2016 11:43 AM - JasonSolves: //SECRET START - Austin Smith 2/24/16 if ((READ(X_MIN_PIN))==1 && (testcode == 0) && (READ(Y_MIN_PIN))==0 && !(card.sdprinting) && (READ(X_ENABLE_PIN))==1) { testcode = 1; delay(200); if ((READ(X_MIN_PIN))==1) { testcode=0; } else { testcode = 2; } } while (testcode == 2) { if ((READ(Y_MIN_PIN))==0)
Apr 29, 2016 11:43 AM - danzca6: "Braydon! They've found out about the secret start. Abort, abort!"
Apr 29, 2016 11:43 AM - TstarkEngineering: ya thats the code in the firmware
Apr 29, 2016 11:43 AM - TstarkEngineering: but it needs a file to initiate it
Apr 29, 2016 11:43 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I was just saying that I see it
Apr 29, 2016 11:43 AM - JasonSolves: and am working on an answer
Apr 29, 2016 11:44 AM - danzca6: jason, you will be THE MAN if you get the answer to this riddle
Apr 29, 2016 11:45 AM - TstarkEngineering: or get sucked into a blackhole never to be found again...either or
Apr 29, 2016 11:45 AM - JasonSolves: want to see something funny
Apr 29, 2016 11:45 AM - JasonSolves: robo3dprinter.com
Apr 29, 2016 11:45 AM - TstarkEngineering: ?
Apr 29, 2016 11:45 AM - TstarkEngineering: nothing there
Apr 29, 2016 11:46 AM - danzca6: jason, if black vans with tinted windows show up outside....RUN
Apr 29, 2016 11:46 AM - TstarkEngineering: haha
Apr 29, 2016 11:46 AM - JasonSolves: I am in the midwest. Gun Rack country
Apr 29, 2016 11:47 AM - JasonSolves: I think I will be fine
Apr 29, 2016 11:47 AM - danzca6: amen bro
Apr 29, 2016 11:48 AM - JasonSolves: almost in Google Fiber Country too
Apr 29, 2016 11:48 AM - JasonSolves: 10 miles....
Apr 29, 2016 11:57 AM - danzca6: btw, looks like they added M585 as a command. It just shoots back the X_ENABLE_PIN status
Apr 29, 2016 12:01 PM - TstarkEngineering: off to lunch. if i come back to find the site is crashed, ill check the news...
Apr 29, 2016 12:06 PM - danzca6: haha
Apr 29, 2016 12:07 PM - JasonSolves:
Apr 29, 2016 12:08 PM - JasonSolves: kinda cool setup
Apr 29, 2016 12:08 PM - JasonSolves: I am going to have to print the camera mount now...
Apr 29, 2016 12:08 PM - danzca6: that from your pi
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: nope
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: that is next
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: when I get my new router
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: and real wifi down here
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: just from my mac
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:859754
Apr 29, 2016 12:09 PM - JasonSolves: next print
Apr 29, 2016 12:10 PM - JasonSolves: oh, this one is nice
Apr 29, 2016 12:10 PM - JasonSolves: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:717848
Apr 29, 2016 12:14 PM - JasonSolves: alright, be back
Apr 29, 2016 12:26 PM - XEMA: Anyone have the new Titan extruder?
Apr 29, 2016 12:33 PM - danzca6: yes
Apr 29, 2016 12:36 PM - XEMA: Have you been able to print flexible filament with it?
Apr 29, 2016 12:36 PM - XEMA: trying to figure out the advantage aside from weight as well
Apr 29, 2016 12:37 PM - danzca6: nope I don't have any flex
Apr 29, 2016 12:37 PM - danzca6: there was one here that tried and it wasn't as plug and play as thought...still struggling getting it dialed in for flex
Apr 29, 2016 12:41 PM - XEMA: ahh gotcha, thanks
Apr 29, 2016 12:44 PM - danzca6: it's still new and I am sure we will be getting more feedback on settings to make it work to its fullest as time goes on
Apr 29, 2016 1:05 PM - JasonSolves:
Apr 29, 2016 1:14 PM - TstarkEngineering: I have a titan and right now i cant even print abs with it
Apr 29, 2016 1:14 PM - TstarkEngineering: but i feel like it will work better with softer materials
Apr 29, 2016 1:19 PM - TstarkEngineering: so besides the bird, what is the word?
Apr 29, 2016 1:32 PM - daniel871: This: http://i.imgur.com/Qt5XvW7.jpg
Apr 29, 2016 1:35 PM - daniel871: Also this:
Apr 29, 2016 3:12 PM - danzca6: wow...my robo sd has 114 files and 19 folders when I turned on viewing of hidden files. Only 3 not hidden. None were the mystery file.
Apr 29, 2016 4:08 PM - NFOsec: hey ladies.
Apr 29, 2016 4:08 PM - NFOsec: danz: but just how many of those were you successful to print to date?
Apr 29, 2016 4:14 PM - NFOsec: Just not sure if that air siren on thingiverse will actually fit/print on the Robo.

 

Apr 30, 2016 at 4:22 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:24 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning robonauts
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:26 AM - JeffTheMess: hey Bill
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:41 AM - Bill Monroe: jeff! working today?
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:43 AM - JeffTheMess: yup
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:43 AM - Bill Monroe: way to go get that money
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:44 AM - JeffTheMess: young and broke enough to do it now lol
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:45 AM - JeffTheMess: usps delivers on Sundays?
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:45 AM - Bill Monroe: they do here
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:45 AM - Bill Monroe: just packages
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:46 AM - JeffTheMess: cool amazon say I should get my stuff tomorrow
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:47 AM - Bill Monroe: hmm they ship UPS. maybe it's being handed off?
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:48 AM - Bill Monroe: lately, my amazon stuff has been arriving via a van marked with the Amazon logo
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:49 AM - Bill Monroe: but it still has a UPS label on it.. so I think at least around here, UPS has put out some dedicated vehicles
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:49 AM - JeffTheMess: as long as I get my lcd this week Im good
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:49 AM - Bill Monroe: That Bezos is one fart smeller
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:53 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:57 AM - Bill Monroe: gads, I could sit here and do solidworking all day
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:59 AM - JeffTheMess: I bet you could
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:59 AM - JeffTheMess: hows the bomb bay coming along
Apr 30, 2016 at 4:59 AM - Bill Monroe: working on it now i keep backing up and redoing stuff so it will be cleaner
Apr 30, 2016 at 5:00 AM - JeffTheMess: its an art
Apr 30, 2016 at 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. challenging to get stuff out of your head and into it
Apr 30, 2016 at 5:01 AM - JeffTheMess: Yeah, I know its always more complex up there
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:15 AM - Bill Monroe: sheesh, it's raining here
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:31 AM - danzca6: ah, this guy...I can't believe he did this all in Tinkercad. You can see him designing it at the end. Neat R2D2 and he printed it with his Robo3D. Impressive.
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:32 AM - danzca6: yeah Bill, it will be raining most of the day here today. Son has a soccer game for us to what this morning and it is like 40 out
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: yikes!
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 has a fire going in the woodstove
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: and will be doing her morning yoga ritual in the greatroom.
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:35 AM - danzca6: and you are where? Better reserve your seats now...haha
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:35 AM - Bill Monroe: oh dont worry.. I can see from here
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: for now, my office is in a room next to the great room, with some big ol windows..
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:37 AM - danzca6: anti fog glass I hope
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: hey.. maybe I can print some defroster vents...
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: brb.. gunna make some coffee for her
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:40 AM - danzca6: So speaking of windows...I have two robins that are loco. They keep sitting in the tree in front of my living room and attacking the windows. I think they see a reflection and think it is another bird. They are on their 4th day
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:41 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, we get that all the time
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:41 AM - danzca6: I think I need to get the Red Rider out of the closet
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:44 AM - Bill Monroe: bah.. leave em be. they're not really hurting anything and they'll get the idea eventually
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:46 AM - Bill Monroe: we have some windows with reflective coatings to help keep the heat out.. it's a riot when the crows land on the pottery shelf outside looking for lizards and see themselves in the reflection
Apr 30, 2016 at 6:47 AM - danzca6: I just put a bunch of suction cup hanging decorations the kids made all over the windows...hopefully they will stop once they see it
Apr 30, 2016 at 7:04 AM - Bill Monroe: that'll probably have some effect
Apr 30, 2016 at 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: ok, got the robo printing
Apr 30, 2016 at 11:40 AM - max longstaff: is it unusual for the robo to smoke a lot?
Apr 30, 2016 at 11:41 AM - max longstaff: well not like flood the room a lot but visable just switched back to hex
Apr 30, 2016 at 11:52 AM - danzca6: I would say no...never had any smoking from my robo
Apr 30, 2016 at 11:53 AM - danzca6: so you went from one hotend to the hex and now it is smoking? from the hotend?
Apr 30, 2016 at 11:56 AM - max longstaff: ye i gotta get a fanshroud i think was running it with no cooling
Apr 30, 2016 at 12:06 PM - danzca6: oh....yeah that isn't good
Apr 30, 2016 at 12:24 PM - Bill Monroe: back
Apr 30, 2016 at 2:12 PM - max longstaff: printed a new fanshroud now just need 2 nuts to hold the springs
Apr 30, 2016 at 2:12 PM - max longstaff: then new thermistor should arrive soon
Apr 30, 2016 at 2:12 PM - max longstaff: also welcome back bill
Apr 30, 2016 at 2:12 PM - Bill Monroe: thanks
Apr 30, 2016 at 2:14 PM - max longstaff: got a wanhao i3 and now i can fix robo r1 soon ill have 2 running printers
Apr 30, 2016 at 2:16 PM - Bill Monroe: ok
Apr 30, 2016 at 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: what do you think of the wanhoe max

 

May 1, 2016 1:01 AM - rn_1604: hi, any of you guys print PETG?
May 1, 2016 1:02 AM - rn_1604: Did you encounter issues with printing on the infill? 1st layer always glops up... 2nd layer tries to flatten the glops... 3rd layer sort of flattens them.. and final layer flattens them.. but this is the best case scenario...
May 1, 2016 6:51 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
May 1, 2016 10:19 AM - Bill Monroe: gads.. just saw Robo3D featured in a Time Warner Cable TV Commercial
May 1, 2016 1:04 PM - WheresWaldo: Saw that a few days ago. Oh by the way, afternoon everyone.
May 1, 2016 1:41 PM - Bill Monroe: Hi Waldo
May 1, 2016 5:38 PM - JeffTheMess: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/temp-drop-off.8401/ feel free to comment
May 1, 2016 5:57 PM - Bill Monroe: jeffey
May 1, 2016 5:58 PM - JeffTheMess: Hey Bill
May 1, 2016 6:22 PM - NFOsec: Greets.
May 1, 2016 6:22 PM - NFOsec: Bill, you're using the XXL LCD right?
May 1, 2016 6:23 PM - NFOsec: Jeff: One thing I had faced in my situation was the stud thermistor was to eep in, fixed that, then, I found the connection was actually loose/pulling, fixed that, no problems since.
May 1, 2016 6:25 PM - NFOsec: m_1604 -- sometimes you need to run a skirt to kind of "clean the pipes", but check your retraction amount/speed for the bottom and top layers. I'm thinking you're also not properly leveled.
May 1, 2016 6:25 PM - NFOsec: I asked previously but no one seems to be able to answer, how can you extrude/retract from the XXL LCD controller (such as feeding, removing filaments?)
May 1, 2016 6:25 PM - JeffTheMess: I actually tried what KTM said and Marvin never looked better
May 1, 2016 6:26 PM - NFOsec: ah.
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - NFOsec: different issue. I would say 95% of the time I don't even print with a secondary fan.
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - JeffTheMess: I just couldn't believe it was that, never happen before
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - NFOsec: PETG, PLA, doesn't need it in this environment.
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - NFOsec: well, fans can certainly be environmentally influenced... don't forget that.
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - JeffTheMess: yeah 100% of my prints are pla
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - NFOsec: well, even with PLA, don't use the "parts fan".
May 1, 2016 6:27 PM - NFOsec: I only us it for the flex.
May 1, 2016 6:28 PM - NFOsec: but, great to know you've found the solution.
May 1, 2016 6:28 PM - JeffTheMess: well atleast I got an LCD out of it lol
May 1, 2016 6:28 PM - NFOsec: still haven't figured out what I have to do to extrude/retract from the XXL LCD yet, lots of options that I could play with, but I have to plug in the USB, do it from S3D, then unplug.
May 1, 2016 6:28 PM - NFOsec:
May 1, 2016 6:32 PM - NFOsec: I'm not sure with the F/R is, maybe that is the setting, have to check after hetaing up nozzle.
May 1, 2016 6:32 PM - JeffTheMess: I have that too, don't know what it is
May 1, 2016 6:36 PM - NFOsec: checking now.
May 1, 2016 6:37 PM - NFOsec: must be feed rate.
May 1, 2016 6:37 PM - JeffTheMess: 100%?
May 1, 2016 6:37 PM - NFOsec: 100% feedrate is default, even if you look in S3D.
May 1, 2016 6:38 PM - NFOsec: I see it maxes up to what S3D ranges near too.
May 1, 2016 6:38 PM - NFOsec: sucks to not have extrusion control within the XXL LCD - muthas.
May 1, 2016 6:39 PM - JeffTheMess: should have gone full graphic
May 1, 2016 6:48 PM - NFOsec: well, some day, maybe a PI3 with graphical LCD running S3D
May 1, 2016 6:48 PM - NFOsec: just say no to drugs man.
May 1, 2016 6:53 PM - jbigler1986: Hold on NFO. Let me check my lcd. Should be the same options
May 1, 2016 6:54 PM - jbigler1986: Nevermind. Forgot my thermistor is broke. What are the options and I can let you know
May 1, 2016 6:55 PM - jbigler1986: It's on the same menu where you move the axis
May 1, 2016 6:55 PM - NFOsec: HA HA HA. jbig: option is get married, don't get married, or ditch the bitch. I can't find any that specifically show movement for Z OR for the extrusion/retraction.
May 1, 2016 6:55 PM - NFOsec: will look again.
May 1, 2016 6:56 PM - jbigler1986: When you press the button for the main menu what are the options?
May 1, 2016 6:57 PM - NFOsec: Info, Prepare, Control, Print from SD.
May 1, 2016 6:57 PM - jbigler1986: I think it's under prepare, then move axis
May 1, 2016 6:58 PM - NFOsec: The Prepare, and Move Axis is there, but nothing for extrude/retract I can see.
May 1, 2016 6:58 PM - jbigler1986: Select move axis
May 1, 2016 6:58 PM - NFOsec: found it.
May 1, 2016 6:58 PM - NFOsec: it's under Move 1mm, extrude, etc.
May 1, 2016 6:58 PM - NFOsec: ugh, that's not much.
May 1, 2016 6:58 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
May 1, 2016 6:59 PM - jbigler1986: Z axis you can only do 1 mm or smaller increments too
May 1, 2016 6:59 PM - jbigler1986: Using bondtech and bowden?
May 1, 2016 6:59 PM - NFOsec: got it. I can spin that sucker to whatever.
May 1, 2016 6:59 PM - NFOsec: Bondtech all the way of course.
May 1, 2016 7:00 PM - NFOsec: at least now I know I can feed/retract as ned be.
May 1, 2016 7:00 PM - NFOsec: thanks man.
May 1, 2016 7:01 PM - jbigler1986: No problem
May 1, 2016 7:01 PM - jbigler1986: Some people make gcode files to extrude and retract the filament to where they need it for bowden
May 1, 2016 7:02 PM - jbigler1986: Instead of having to manually extrude and retract on the lcd the whole time
May 1, 2016 7:02 PM - NFOsec: Yeah, this was really more of me wanting to have manual feed control when swapping out, the QR has a clamp, but i still l\ike to clean the pipes.
May 1, 2016 7:02 PM - NFOsec: it's not common activity, was just something I wanted ot know if could be done whjen needed.
May 1, 2016 7:04 PM - jbigler1986: Well there ya go
May 1, 2016 7:05 PM - jbigler1986: Lcd menus are kind of a mess and need layer out better. It can be done but is a pain in the ass
May 1, 2016 7:05 PM - jbigler1986: Layed*
May 1, 2016 7:13 PM - NFOsec: yeah, wasn't that intuitive, but USUALLY I look at them all, but I took that to be more of a config than a usage thing.
May 1, 2016 7:13 PM - NFOsec: at least it's ou of the way now. thanks.
May 1, 2016 7:25 PM - NFOsec: bbiaf, need to kick off this multihour print.
May 1, 2016 7:28 PM - Bill Monroe: back
May 1, 2016 8:34 PM - NFOsec: front.

May 2, 2016 7:17 AM - m4r1n5: Thors hammer....that's funny
May 2, 2016 9:42 AM - NFOsec: sorry to hear jeff
May 2, 2016 9:55 AM - JasonSolves: good morning....
May 2, 2016 9:56 AM - JasonSolves: 12 hour print of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:465989 went GREAT
May 2, 2016 10:01 AM - JeffTheMess: thats 12 hour print?
May 2, 2016 10:04 AM - NFOsec: strange.
May 2, 2016 10:04 AM - NFOsec: well, I have to disassemble the robo top-end after both of the Z limits flew off their handles yesterday. so freaky...
May 2, 2016 10:08 AM - JeffTheMess:
May 2, 2016 10:09 AM - JasonSolves: I think they call that "Throwing the Nuts"
May 2, 2016 10:17 AM - NFOsec: Does anyone have a picture of the Z limit switch brass nut as to how far up it goes and how much play should be there?
May 2, 2016 10:42 AM - NFOsec: not sure if the brass nut goes all the way up to the piece on the threaded and smooth rod just above the limits or not.
May 2, 2016 10:42 AM - NFOsec: need to see a picture to compare as both were literally pulled off.
May 2, 2016 10:43 AM - JasonSolves: you mean the left and right carrage?
May 2, 2016 10:44 AM - JasonSolves:

May 2, 2016 10:44 AM - JasonSolves: https://d17kynu4zpq5hy.cloudfront.net/igi/robo3d/pbHct3DInRTmtR4b
May 2, 2016 10:45 AM - NFOsec: mmm... ok.
May 2, 2016 10:46 AM - donhuevo: dropping your nuts I think they call it
May 2, 2016 10:46 AM - JasonSolves: is that what you mean?
May 2, 2016 10:46 AM - JasonSolves: Or are you talking without the plastic parts? just the nuts?
May 2, 2016 10:49 AM - JasonSolves: Maybe if you send us a photo of what state your parts are in, we can show you the same parts in a working state.
May 2, 2016 10:51 AM - NFOsec: Thanks man, that does help.
May 2, 2016 10:51 AM - NFOsec: I was trying to realign the brass nuts and the limit switches on top of them since they were completely off the nuts.
May 2, 2016 10:52 AM - NFOsec: so I set them near the top as in your picture, about 1/2" left below, will tighten then level the bed.
May 2, 2016 10:52 AM - NFOsec: most oblighed Jason.
May 2, 2016 10:52 AM - JasonSolves: no problem
May 2, 2016 10:52 AM - JasonSolves: I remember when I got my robo kickstarter, I threw the nuts a lot
May 2, 2016 10:53 AM - JasonSolves: this was pre-autolevel
May 2, 2016 10:53 AM - donhuevo: yep. that's about where I started
May 2, 2016 10:53 AM - JasonSolves: yeah, I learned a lot
May 2, 2016 10:54 AM - JasonSolves: as a side note, I googled Robo3d Z https://www.google.com/search?q=rob...hUKEwi8t6Pf97vMAhUjnIMKHS26D9wQ_AUICSgE&dpr=1
May 2, 2016 10:54 AM - JasonSolves: the amount of photos is AMAZING
May 2, 2016 10:55 AM - donhuevo: One of my earlier changes was to move the switch to the idler end so that it couldn't spin if the nut dropped
May 2, 2016 10:55 AM - NFOsec: ah, didn't think there was going to be that side of it, but sounds good.
May 2, 2016 10:55 AM - NFOsec: yeah, thats what I was remembering you say DonHe.
May 2, 2016 10:55 AM - NFOsec: er Donhu.
May 2, 2016 10:56 AM - donhuevo: now that there's a z probe on the carriage, it's a non-issue
May 2, 2016 11:07 AM - NFOsec: yeah, I have the probe, but I'm a sorry lazzy ass.
May 2, 2016 11:08 AM - NFOsec: printed the part, etc.
May 2, 2016 11:09 AM - donhuevo: incentive: It's by far the most consistent option. the z offset needs refigured only when you change nozzles. Otherwise every print starts off exactly the same
May 2, 2016 11:19 AM - daniel871: Hahaha.
May 2, 2016 11:27 AM - NFOsec: Must've been a Helen Keller thing.
May 2, 2016 11:28 AM - NFOsec: She said "you are an ass".
May 2, 2016 11:41 AM - daniel871: I was getting more of a "No, don't make me hold your slimy hand, ugh, fine." vibe from it.
May 2, 2016 12:03 PM - m4r1n5: lol @dohuevo...they both want to be in charge
May 2, 2016 12:09 PM - Bill Monroe: gents
May 2, 2016 12:12 PM - donhuevo: afternoon Bill
May 2, 2016 12:14 PM - donhuevo: I have to say this is freaking me out a little... http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra...8&qid=1462216262&sr=8-1&keywords=200+micro+sd
May 2, 2016 12:20 PM - JasonSolves: which part?
May 2, 2016 12:21 PM - donhuevo: 200Gb's fitting on a microSD.
May 2, 2016 12:22 PM - JasonSolves: oh... FYI I work for WD... which just bought SANDISK
May 2, 2016 12:22 PM - donhuevo: nice!
May 2, 2016 12:22 PM - JasonSolves: We have a HArddrive that is 16TB
May 2, 2016 12:23 PM - donhuevo: Next week there'll be 16Tb SSD's
May 2, 2016 12:24 PM - JasonSolves: yeah so we have a 6TB PCIe ssd
May 2, 2016 12:24 PM - donhuevo: the bits have to almost be molecular
May 2, 2016 12:25 PM - JasonSolves: so the real issue is RAID
May 2, 2016 12:26 PM - JasonSolves: so there are JBODs with 56 Drives
May 2, 2016 12:26 PM - JasonSolves: and then with maths....
May 2, 2016 12:26 PM - JasonSolves: 4.3 PB
May 2, 2016 12:26 PM - JasonSolves: rebuilds take days...weeks
May 2, 2016 12:27 PM - JasonSolves: so you need to deal with fun erasure coding and all sorts of ways to deal with things
May 2, 2016 12:27 PM - donhuevo: I'm wondering how much storage it would take to hold a brain's worth of data
May 2, 2016 12:28 PM - JasonSolves: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-the-memory-capacity/
May 2, 2016 12:28 PM - JasonSolves: Yet neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain’s memory storage capacity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes
May 2, 2016 12:28 PM - JasonSolves: than again, that was 5 years ago
May 2, 2016 12:29 PM - JasonSolves: http://www.lbc.co.uk/how-many-gigabytes-of-memory-does-your-brain-hold-41751
May 2, 2016 12:29 PM - donhuevo: 2.5Pb
May 2, 2016 12:31 PM - JasonSolves: indeed https://www.hgst.com/products/systems/hgst-active-archive-system
May 2, 2016 12:32 PM - donhuevo: gonna definitely need one of those
May 2, 2016 12:34 PM - donhuevo: but in 5 years, that'll be the size of a toaster then 5 years after that I'll be saying 'I can't believe they can fit all that on a microSD'
May 2, 2016 12:35 PM - JasonSolves: yeah, every day it gets smaller
May 2, 2016 12:40 PM - donhuevo: when are we switching from silicon to carbon?
May 2, 2016 12:46 PM - JasonSolves: ....
May 2, 2016 12:46 PM - donhuevo: http://www.computerworld.com/articl...-with-nanotubes-could-revolutionize-tech.html
May 2, 2016 1:14 PM - toymaker: http://www.wastelandweekend.com/ should i go?
May 2, 2016 1:15 PM - NFOsec: too bad this wasn't a robo thing.

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10154041848759494

May 2, 2016 1:15 PM - NFOsec: you should go.
May 2, 2016 1:16 PM - JasonSolves: NFO, that is cool... I like this one
May 2, 2016 1:18 PM - NFOsec: I love the earlier image of Cruz and the bimbo he was with. the Helen Keller sign language was a hoot.
May 2, 2016 1:23 PM - NFOsec: yeah, I remember seeing that Jason. definitely inspirational.
May 2, 2016 1:24 PM - NFOsec: it was more tasteful than someone trying to sell a Form Lab to 3D Print someone's new eyes.
May 2, 2016 1:25 PM - NFOsec: That HGST system is pretty cool, but I'd rather hear they used SED storage devices.
May 2, 2016 1:26 PM - NFOsec: The brain storage thing is really dependent on fragmentation/defraging as well as whether or not you have compression and encryption.
May 2, 2016 1:27 PM - JasonSolves: so, about SED
May 2, 2016 1:27 PM - JasonSolves: the issue with the system is that it uses Object store
May 2, 2016 1:27 PM - JasonSolves: so Encrypting it is kinda new
May 2, 2016 1:27 PM - JasonSolves: they do sell SEDs
