    Mar 4, 2015 1:02 PM - Harry: test
    Mar 4, 2015 3:15 PM - Harry: test
    Mar 4, 2015 3:46 PM - Harry: Hey Guys. Everything should be fixed. The forums were rolled back about 48 hours. Sorry about that. Let me know if you have any other issues.
    Mar 4, 2015 5:06 PM - insomniac_lemon: Not sure if you're still there Harry, but could you make a different subdomain for image attachments? Currently they share the same zoom level as the forums.
    Mar 4, 2015 5:07 PM - insomniac_lemon: Meaning the zoom level from the forums makes images huge, so you zoom out, and if you switch tabs the forums are now tiny.
    Mar 4, 2015 5:09 PM - insomniac_lemon: Not sure about FF, but Chrome at least does zoom memory per-subdomain, good example imgur images at i.imgur.com doesn't change your zoom level on the main site

    Mar 4, 2015 9:14 PM - Soupaboy: Is there a huge gap in the shoutbox for anyone else?
    Mar 4, 2015 9:14 PM - Soupaboy: ah fixed when i posted a message
    Mar 4, 2015 9:16 PM - Bill Monroe: it'll be buggy for awhile I think
    Mar 4, 2015 9:17 PM - jbigler1986: Morning
    Mar 4, 2015 9:18 PM - Bill Monroe: jb
    Mar 4, 2015 9:19 PM - jbigler1986: Decided to try a filament change during a print for the first time last night. Will post a pic in a minute
    Mar 4, 2015 9:20 PM - Bill Monroe: if the only diff is color, it usually goes OK
    Mar 4, 2015 9:24 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/PBT1dW4
    Mar 4, 2015 9:25 PM - Bill Monroe: nice
    Mar 4, 2015 9:30 PM - jbigler1986: I tested it first. You can only move the z up or down for it to resume in the right spot.
    Mar 4, 2015 9:31 PM - jbigler1986: At least in wonderful mattercontrol
    Mar 4, 2015 9:31 PM - Bill Monroe: i think that's a Marlin thing
    Mar 4, 2015 9:33 PM - jbigler1986: The orange is kinda translucent. Translucent colors are hard to print without a little "hairyness" and little boogers like you see on the gear
    Mar 4, 2015 9:34 PM - Bill Monroe: do you make the perimeters inside first?
    Mar 4, 2015 9:35 PM - jbigler1986: Not sure to be honest with you
    Mar 4, 2015 9:35 PM - Bill Monroe: ok.. that often helps with blobs
    Mar 4, 2015 9:36 PM - jbigler1986: What do you mean by that? Or how to do that
    Mar 4, 2015 9:36 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
    Mar 4, 2015 9:36 PM - Bill Monroe: you set it in the slicer
    Mar 4, 2015 9:37 PM - jbigler1986: Not sure if that live print will tell you whether I do or not
    Mar 4, 2015 9:37 PM - Bill Monroe: http://ustre.am/1mncQ
    Mar 4, 2015 9:37 PM - Bill Monroe: which slicer are you using?
    Mar 4, 2015 9:38 PM - jbigler1986: Slic3r
    Mar 4, 2015 9:38 PM - jbigler1986: In Mattercontrol
    Mar 4, 2015 9:38 PM - Bill Monroe: k hang on
    Mar 4, 2015 9:38 PM - jbigler1986: k
    Mar 4, 2015 9:39 PM - jbigler1986: Can't see your actual screnn. It's blurry
    Mar 4, 2015 9:39 PM - jbigler1986: screen
    Mar 4, 2015 9:41 PM - jbigler1986: I love the full desktop. Lol. Normal people say that's it's a mess but us nerds think it's perfect and we know where everything is
    Mar 4, 2015 9:41 PM - Bill Monroe: stand by
    Mar 4, 2015 9:42 PM - jbigler1986: K. Just let me know
    Mar 4, 2015 9:46 PM - Bill Monroe: MC really hosed my system when I opened it
    Mar 4, 2015 9:47 PM - jbigler1986: Weird.
    Mar 4, 2015 9:47 PM - jbigler1986: I run it on a shitty laptop with no issues
    Mar 4, 2015 9:47 PM - Bill Monroe: i have an uber-powerful development system i tdont think resources is the issue
    Mar 4, 2015 9:48 PM - jbigler1986: Mac or PC
    Mar 4, 2015 9:49 PM - Bill Monroe: PC
    Mar 4, 2015 9:50 PM - jbigler1986: It didn't look like you have the latest version. Mine looks a little different and I just downloaded it like a week ago
    Mar 4, 2015 9:50 PM - Bill Monroe: MC just opens ans freezes all the streaming and cad stuff is fine..
    Mar 4, 2015 9:50 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, since I quit using it months ago, I dont keep it updated
    Mar 4, 2015 9:51 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe try the new version
    Mar 4, 2015 9:51 PM - Bill Monroe: maybe no.. i dont use it
    Mar 4, 2015 9:51 PM - jbigler1986: lol
    Mar 4, 2015 9:52 PM - jbigler1986: I would rather not use it either but it gives me way better quality than Cura. I couldn't seem to find all of the correct settings to use with standalone Slic3r or I would try that
    Mar 4, 2015 9:53 PM - Bill Monroe: my expereince has been the only really useful combo of free progs is repetier/slic3r
    Mar 4, 2015 9:53 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have a profile for Slic3r with all of the correct settings for Robo R1 with auto bed level?
    Mar 4, 2015 9:54 PM - Bill Monroe: probably not.. I dont use the auto-level either :) OK MC is working now
    Mar 4, 2015 9:54 PM - jbigler1986: Sweet
    Mar 4, 2015 9:55 PM - Bill Monroe: doest look like you can choose..
    Mar 4, 2015 9:55 PM - Bill Monroe: once again, I'm glad I dont use MC
    Mar 4, 2015 9:56 PM - jbigler1986: I haven't tried Repetier or Slic3r as I don't know the exact settings I need to edit
    Mar 4, 2015 9:56 PM - jbigler1986: The only reason I used Cura was because of Mike's guide
    Mar 4, 2015 9:57 PM - Bill Monroe: it's a jounrney to get it set, but worth it
    Mar 4, 2015 9:57 PM - Bill Monroe: I tried them all..
    Mar 4, 2015 9:57 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have a profile for repetier?
    Mar 4, 2015 9:58 PM - jbigler1986: Only thing I would probably need to add is G29 in start code
    Mar 4, 2015 9:58 PM - Bill Monroe: not that I'd trust
    Mar 4, 2015 9:58 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm failry certain our machines are so different, my profiles wouldnt work for you
    Mar 4, 2015 9:59 PM - jbigler1986: Well Just stock setting that I need to change is all I need. I can tweak the settings from there
    Mar 4, 2015 10:00 PM - jbigler1986: Couldn't find a guide anywhere
    Mar 4, 2015 10:00 PM - Bill Monroe: well then, download it and give it a go :)
    Mar 4, 2015 10:01 PM - jbigler1986: I have it downloaded. I just don't know default settings to change for my printer
    Mar 4, 2015 10:26 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm using simplify 3D right now to get my printer ready to print
    Mar 4, 2015 10:32 PM - Bill Monroe: alrighty.. printer warming up
    Mar 4, 2015 10:32 PM - jbigler1986: Are you printing the inside first? Is that what you are talking about
    Mar 4, 2015 10:34 PM - Bill Monroe: yes
    Mar 4, 2015 10:34 PM - jbigler1986: ok
    Mar 4, 2015 10:34 PM - Bill Monroe: your result *might* be different, try a test print or something small
    Mar 4, 2015 10:35 PM - jbigler1986: ok
    Mar 4, 2015 10:35 PM - Bill Monroe: like I said, our printers are very different now, mine barely resembles an R1 anymore
    Mar 4, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: really, the hardest thing to get setup is the first layer.. once that's figured out, the rest is easy
    Mar 4, 2015 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: or at least, easier
    Mar 4, 2015 10:37 PM - jbigler1986: COuld you give me a step by step to setup repetier?
    Mar 4, 2015 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: i dont know it well enough to teach it
    Mar 4, 2015 10:38 PM - jbigler1986: Dang. What about Slic3r?
    Mar 4, 2015 10:39 PM - Bill Monroe: same thing.. i've used it and can figure it out, but it's been too long for me to speak with authority
    Mar 4, 2015 10:48 PM - jbigler1986: What about with simplify3d
    Mar 4, 2015 10:48 PM - Bill Monroe: using it now.. but remember, my machine is different so little will cross over
    Mar 4, 2015 10:49 PM - jbigler1986: I know that. I just need to know the basics to change and where. Like bed side, print speed, travel speed, infill, etc...
    Mar 4, 2015 10:50 PM - jbigler1986: Just the basics that would get me a normal quality print then I could tweak from there
    Mar 4, 2015 10:51 PM - Bill Monroe: do you have S3D?
    Mar 4, 2015 10:52 PM - jbigler1986: Not yet. I'm really thinking about it
    Mar 4, 2015 10:52 PM - jbigler1986: It's expensive compared to the free software.
    Mar 4, 2015 10:52 PM - jbigler1986: If it was like $50 I would be all over it
    Mar 4, 2015 10:52 PM - Bill Monroe: you get what yu pay for
    Mar 4, 2015 10:53 PM - jbigler1986: That's true
    Mar 4, 2015 10:59 PM - jbigler1986: Do you think you could walk me through setting up repetier host or slic3r. I have it up via remote access
    Mar 4, 2015 10:59 PM - Bill Monroe: I'm working right now so time is an issue
    Mar 4, 2015 10:59 PM - jbigler1986: Or somebody on here
    Mar 4, 2015 11:01 PM - Bill Monroe: someone might be able to, ask around.
    Mar 4, 2015 11:07 PM - Mike Kelly: mornin
    Mar 4, 2015 11:07 PM - jbigler1986: morning
    Mar 4, 2015 11:08 PM - jbigler1986: Do you know how to setup Repetier or Slic3r?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:09 PM - Mike Kelly: sure
    Mar 4, 2015 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: Which do you prefer? I have Repetier up right now. Just not sure what all I need to edit
    Mar 4, 2015 11:10 PM - Mike Kelly: i prefer repetier since it includes both
    Mar 4, 2015 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: Ok. Could you walk me through it?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:11 PM - Mike Kelly: yup yup
    Mar 4, 2015 11:11 PM - Mike Kelly: go to printer settigns
    Mar 4, 2015 11:11 PM - jbigler1986: Ok

    Mar 4, 2015 11:11 PM - Mike Kelly: make sure the port is correct for your robo
    Mar 4, 2015 11:11 PM - Mike Kelly: baud rate is 250000
    Mar 4, 2015 11:12 PM - Mike Kelly: the rest are the same
    Mar 4, 2015 11:12 PM - jbigler1986: It is
    Mar 4, 2015 11:12 PM - Mike Kelly: the printer tab is just stuff for manual control movements
    Mar 4, 2015 11:12 PM - Mike Kelly: you can leave those blank
    Mar 4, 2015 11:12 PM - jbigler1986: Ok
    Mar 4, 2015 11:13 PM - Mike Kelly: extruder, # is 1, max temp 280 is fine
    Mar 4, 2015 11:13 PM - Mike Kelly: for bed, do you have a ribbon cable or a clip?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:13 PM - jbigler1986: Ribbon
    Mar 4, 2015 11:13 PM - Mike Kelly: ok max temp of 120 is fine then
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Kelly: extruder 1 diameter is 0.4
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Kelly: the rest is fine
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - jbigler1986: Got it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Kelly: printer shape, classic printer
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Kelly: all homes are min
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Kelly: x and y min are 0
    Mar 4, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Kelly: x max: 220 Y max: 254
    Mar 4, 2015 11:15 PM - Mike Kelly: width; 220 Depth: 254 height: 228
    Mar 4, 2015 11:15 PM - Mike Kelly: then click ok
    Mar 4, 2015 11:15 PM - Mike Kelly: and you should be able to connect
    Mar 4, 2015 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: connected
    Mar 4, 2015 11:16 PM - Mike Kelly: ok under slicer table with slicer: Slic3r selected, click configuration
    Mar 4, 2015 11:16 PM - Mike Kelly: it'll take a second to load
    Mar 4, 2015 11:16 PM - Mike Kelly: a new window will pop up
    Mar 4, 2015 11:17 PM - jbigler1986: k
    Mar 4, 2015 11:17 PM - Mike Kelly: let's start with printer settings
    Mar 4, 2015 11:17 PM - Mike Kelly: size: x 220 y 254
    Mar 4, 2015 11:17 PM - jbigler1986: I need to configure it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:17 PM - Mike Kelly: print center: x 110, Y 127
    Mar 4, 2015 11:17 PM - Mike Kelly: what do you mean
    Mar 4, 2015 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: Nevermind.
    Mar 4, 2015 11:18 PM - Mike Kelly: you can define your Z offset here
    Mar 4, 2015 11:19 PM - Mike Kelly: then go to Custom G-code
    Mar 4, 2015 11:19 PM - Mike Kelly: add: G29 ; Autolevel sequence
    Mar 4, 2015 11:19 PM - Mike Kelly: after G28; home all axis
    Mar 4, 2015 11:19 PM - jbigler1986: Mine is -.6 so do I do -.6
    Mar 4, 2015 11:19 PM - Mike Kelly: no do 0.6
    Mar 4, 2015 11:20 PM - jbigler1986: k
    Mar 4, 2015 11:20 PM - Mike Kelly: only time you use negative is with the M565 command
    Mar 4, 2015 11:21 PM - Mike Kelly: after custom G-code go to Extruder 1 and make srure the nozzle diameter is still 0.4mm
    Mar 4, 2015 11:21 PM - Mike Kelly: then save it as a new profile "Robo3d"
    Mar 4, 2015 11:21 PM - jbigler1986: yep
    Mar 4, 2015 11:22 PM - jbigler1986: Done
    Mar 4, 2015 11:22 PM - Mike Kelly: Filament settings, filament > Diameter is 1.75 or whatever you measure the filament at
    Mar 4, 2015 11:22 PM - Mike Kelly: Temperature is where you set your print temperature
    Mar 4, 2015 11:22 PM - Mike Kelly: first layer can be hotter than the others
    Mar 4, 2015 11:23 PM - jbigler1986: Got it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:23 PM - Mike Kelly: cooling: enable cooling settings
    Mar 4, 2015 11:23 PM - Mike Kelly: the settings should be fine but this is where you'd change them if it's not running right
    Mar 4, 2015 11:23 PM - jbigler1986: auto cooling?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Kelly: correct auto
    Mar 4, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Kelly: then save this as PLA
    Mar 4, 2015 11:24 PM - jbigler1986: SO it will be off for 1 layer then on for the rest
    Mar 4, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Kelly: correct
    Mar 4, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Kelly: which is what you want for PLA
    Mar 4, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Kelly: no fan on the first layer
    Mar 4, 2015 11:25 PM - jbigler1986: K. Got it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:26 PM - Mike Kelly: for print settings i suggest 3 profiles, High Medium Low
    Mar 4, 2015 11:26 PM - Mike Kelly: where high is .1mm and low is .3mm
    Mar 4, 2015 11:26 PM - jbigler1986: Makes sense
    Mar 4, 2015 11:27 PM - jbigler1986: Start with .3mm one
    Mar 4, 2015 11:27 PM - Mike Kelly: i usually suggest basing the values off of matter controls values
    Mar 4, 2015 11:27 PM - Mike Kelly: feel free to ask any questions you may have
    Mar 4, 2015 11:28 PM - jbigler1986: They seem to be the same from matter conrol
    Mar 4, 2015 11:28 PM - Mike Kelly: that's likely because they're both slicer
    Mar 4, 2015 11:28 PM - Mike Kelly: only value you *need* to change is layer height and first layer height
    Mar 4, 2015 11:29 PM - jbigler1986: what do you suggest for first layer height? it's at 0.4
    Mar 4, 2015 11:30 PM - jbigler1986: Also how do I enable and disable say brim/raft/skirt
    Mar 4, 2015 11:30 PM - Mike Kelly: usually you want your first layer height to be more than your regular layer height, but i hear you shouldn't go over 75% of the nozzle diameter for layer height
    Mar 4, 2015 11:30 PM - Mike Kelly: you can try .4 and see if it works
    Mar 4, 2015 11:30 PM - Mike Kelly: skirt and brim for them
    Mar 4, 2015 11:30 PM - jbigler1986: To disable skirt just put 0 loops
    Mar 4, 2015 11:30 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd suggest 2 loops on the skirt
    Mar 4, 2015 11:31 PM - Mike Kelly: aye
    Mar 4, 2015 11:31 PM - Mike Kelly: raft is under support mateiral
    Mar 4, 2015 11:31 PM - jbigler1986: Then if I want to enable brim just add how much
    Mar 4, 2015 11:33 PM - jbigler1986: Is 40 percent infill the norm?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:34 PM - Mike Kelly: 40% is pretty high, i usually stick with 10% for non structural and 50% for strength
    Mar 4, 2015 11:34 PM - Mike Kelly: brim width of 5 is usually what i use
    Mar 4, 2015 11:34 PM - Mike Kelly: you don't really need a brim unless you print ABS
    Mar 4, 2015 11:34 PM - jbigler1986: ok
    Mar 4, 2015 11:35 PM - Mike Kelly: under advance, i'd change the first layer extrusion width to 0
    Mar 4, 2015 11:36 PM - jbigler1986: What does that do
    Mar 4, 2015 11:36 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm not entirely sure, i think it tries to extruder more material to increase the extrusion width
    Mar 4, 2015 11:36 PM - Mike Kelly: i wouldn't use it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:36 PM - jbigler1986: What do you suggest speed wise?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:36 PM - jbigler1986: here is what i have
    Mar 4, 2015 11:37 PM - jbigler1986: 30, 30, 70%, 60, 60, 50, 60, 100%, 60, 20
    Mar 4, 2015 11:37 PM - Mike Kelly: default looks pretty good, you could increase the perimeters to 60mm/s if you want
    Mar 4, 2015 11:37 PM - jbigler1986: 130 travel
    Mar 4, 2015 11:37 PM - Mike Kelly: especially sicne external is set to 70%
    Mar 4, 2015 11:38 PM - Mike Kelly: for high quality you should use a slower speed
    Mar 4, 2015 11:38 PM - Mike Kelly: 30mm/s is probably fine for 100 micron layers
    Mar 4, 2015 11:38 PM - jbigler1986: what does the 70 percent mean
    Mar 4, 2015 11:39 PM - Mike Kelly: if you hover it it'll describe it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:39 PM - Mike Kelly: but it prints at 70% of the perimeter speed
    Mar 4, 2015 11:39 PM - Mike Kelly: usually a good idea to improve surface finish
    Mar 4, 2015 11:39 PM - jbigler1986: I dropped it to 50%
    Mar 4, 2015 11:39 PM - Mike Kelly: cool

    Mar 4, 2015 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: Is that I need to change minus tweaking after I test it
    Mar 4, 2015 11:41 PM - Mike Glass: I had to goto 5mm @ 60 mirons, that was fast
    Mar 4, 2015 11:41 PM - jbigler1986: ?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i think that should be good
    Mar 4, 2015 11:43 PM - Mike Kelly: then just adjust the layer heights and save it as new profiles
    Mar 4, 2015 11:43 PM - jbigler1986: Also Bill said something about printing the inside first or something to get rid of blobs

    Mar 4, 2015 11:44 PM - jbigler1986: As you can see here on the orange a little
    Mar 4, 2015 11:44 PM - Mike Kelly: those are strings
    Mar 4, 2015 11:45 PM - Mike Glass: morning all
    Mar 4, 2015 11:45 PM - jbigler1986: Temp was at 195. Go even lower or different setting?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:45 PM - Mike Glass: go to low you could have layer delamination
    Mar 4, 2015 11:46 PM - Mike Glass: Slow the print down
    Mar 4, 2015 11:46 PM - jbigler1986: 15?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:46 PM - jbigler1986: It was at 30
    Mar 4, 2015 11:47 PM - Mike Glass: maybe 20-25
    Mar 4, 2015 11:47 PM - jbigler1986: By the way you guys are amazing
    Mar 4, 2015 11:47 PM - Mike Glass: You might have better luck if you have 2 fans though
    Mar 4, 2015 11:48 PM - jbigler1986: I will add those in the next day or 2
    Mar 4, 2015 11:48 PM - Mike Kelly: you can mitigate stringing with Z lift
    Mar 4, 2015 11:48 PM - Mike Kelly: under printer settings > extruder 1
    Mar 4, 2015 11:48 PM - Mike Kelly: but as don calls them "speed bumps"
    Mar 4, 2015 11:48 PM - Mike Kelly: you could also try wipe while retracting there as well
    Mar 4, 2015 11:49 PM - Mike Glass: doesnt that like double retractions?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:49 PM - Mike Kelly: i suggest printing the deprime test object and trying out different settings till you find what you like
    Mar 4, 2015 11:49 PM - Mike Kelly: not really double, just raises the nozzle while retracting
    Mar 4, 2015 11:49 PM - Mike Glass: zhop?
    Mar 4, 2015 11:49 PM - jbigler1986: So what should I cnahge
    Mar 4, 2015 11:50 PM - jbigler1986: I like when it raises Z when it moves in Mattercontrol. What should I change for that
    Mar 4, 2015 11:50 PM - Mike Kelly: Lift Z to 1mm
    Mar 4, 2015 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: K
    Mar 4, 2015 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: I will try wipe as well
    Mar 4, 2015 11:52 PM - Mike Glass: I always wipe, else you get the crusty's..lol
    Mar 4, 2015 11:52 PM - jbigler1986: Nah
    Mar 4, 2015 11:52 PM - jbigler1986: Isn't that part of the fun
    Mar 4, 2015 11:53 PM - Mike Kelly: does everyone else have to keep scrolling down
    Mar 4, 2015 11:53 PM - jbigler1986: SOmetimes
    Mar 4, 2015 11:57 PM - jbigler1986: Wish I didn't have parts sitting on my printer so I could test this
    Mar 4, 2015 11:57 PM - jbigler1986: May run home on my lunch. :)
    Mar 4, 2015 11:57 PM - Mike Glass: haha just noticed I got my old avatar back. wth
    Mar 4, 2015 11:58 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah he fixed it
    Mar 5, 2015 12:00 AM - Mike Glass: I printed some props for my hubsan last night with the .2 nozzle, came out pretty nice.
    Mar 5, 2015 12:02 AM - Mike Kelly: at first i read that as husband
    Mar 5, 2015 12:03 AM - jbigler1986: So did I o_O
    Mar 5, 2015 12:03 AM - jbigler1986: Can you pause a print with Repetier?
    Mar 5, 2015 12:04 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
    Mar 5, 2015 12:04 AM - jbigler1986: Or even set it to pause at a defined layer
    Mar 5, 2015 12:04 AM - Mike Kelly: less sure on that one
    Mar 5, 2015 12:07 AM - jbigler1986: Hmm
    Mar 5, 2015 12:09 AM - Mike Kelly: leaving for vegas today, wooo
    Mar 5, 2015 12:10 AM - jbigler1986: Nice. My yearly Vegas trip is in September
    Mar 5, 2015 12:11 AM - jbigler1986: We are going to the Smokies and staying in a cabin end of the month. Much needed vaca
    Mar 5, 2015 12:11 AM - jbigler1986: Vegas is a blast
    Mar 5, 2015 12:11 AM - jbigler1986: Work related?
    Mar 5, 2015 12:12 AM - Mike Kelly: well in a sense
    Mar 5, 2015 12:12 AM - Mike Kelly: my coworker is getting married in june so this is his bachelor party
    Mar 5, 2015 12:13 AM - jbigler1986: Sounds like trouble. Jk
    Mar 5, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: there's apparently going to be like 20 of us
    Mar 5, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: gonna be crazy
    Mar 5, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: 5 from my company, including the bachelor
    Mar 5, 2015 12:14 AM - jbigler1986: I stayed at the Circus Circus once. Never again
    Mar 5, 2015 12:14 AM - jbigler1986: That place is a nut house
    Mar 5, 2015 12:14 AM - jbigler1986: Usual stay is New York New York. On the farther end of the strip but not bad
    Mar 5, 2015 12:19 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah this is the first time i'm staying in freemont
    Mar 5, 2015 12:19 AM - Mike Kelly: at The D
    Mar 5, 2015 12:20 AM - Mike Kelly: the misses and I stayed at the mirage last time
    Mar 5, 2015 12:20 AM - Mike Kelly: that was nice
    Mar 5, 2015 12:21 AM - jbigler1986: Haven't stayed there. I enjoy that place though. Have you seen Blue Man group there yet?
    Mar 5, 2015 12:22 AM - jbigler1986: Not at the Mirage. I think they are at the Venition
    Mar 5, 2015 12:22 AM - jbigler1986: Or however you spell it
    Mar 5, 2015 12:22 AM - Mike Kelly: i haven't yet, i want to though
    Mar 5, 2015 12:22 AM - Mike Kelly: the venetian is awesome
    Mar 5, 2015 12:22 AM - Mike Kelly: especially if you go at like 2am
    Mar 5, 2015 12:23 AM - Mike Kelly: feels like day
    Mar 5, 2015 12:23 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a trip
    Mar 5, 2015 12:23 AM - jbigler1986: The damn little river running through it is nuts
    Mar 5, 2015 12:23 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
    Mar 5, 2015 12:23 AM - jbigler1986: It's one of the best concerts/shows I have ever been to in my life
    Mar 5, 2015 12:24 AM - Mike Kelly: i've heard good things
    Mar 5, 2015 12:24 AM - Mike Kelly: i think we looked at it last time but didn't for some reason
    Mar 5, 2015 12:24 AM - jbigler1986: I think we paid like $70 a ticket
    Mar 5, 2015 12:25 AM - Mike Kelly: question: if i edit something does it show up live on your feed or do you have to refresh to see? (I'll edit this part: did it work?)
    Mar 5, 2015 12:26 AM - jbigler1986: Yes
    Mar 5, 2015 12:26 AM - Mike Kelly: ok cool
    Mar 5, 2015 12:27 AM - jbigler1986: Has anybody tried to use Repetier Host?
    Mar 5, 2015 12:27 AM - jbigler1986: I meant Server
    Mar 5, 2015 12:28 AM - Mike Kelly: don't follow
    Mar 5, 2015 12:29 AM - jbigler1986: Repetier Server. Bsaically remote access. Also integrates webcam
    Mar 5, 2015 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: neat
    Mar 5, 2015 12:30 AM - jbigler1986: I was just wondering if any of you have tried it
    Mar 5, 2015 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: no one to my knowledge
    Mar 5, 2015 12:31 AM - Mike Kelly: most people use octoprint
    Mar 5, 2015 12:32 AM - jbigler1986: I tried setting that up with my Pi but I couldn't get the port forwarding to work and stuff.
    Mar 5, 2015 12:33 AM - jbigler1986: I was to lazy to wait on hold with Brighthouse internet to figure it out.
    Mar 5, 2015 12:33 AM - jbigler1986: Plus I donon't know jack about linux
    Mar 5, 2015 12:34 AM - jbigler1986: Now I can't edit chat. Hmmm
    Mar 5, 2015 12:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i have a dedicated computer so i just use splashtop to connect
    Mar 5, 2015 12:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i think the permissions went back to pre-update
    Mar 5, 2015 12:36 AM - jbigler1986: I was just trying to find solutions to do stuff while I'm at work. They aren't fans of programs being installed on networked pc's
    Mar 5, 2015 12:37 AM - jbigler1986: Even though they install Itunes garbage on every computer

    Mar 5, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Kelly: ah, hmm
    Mar 5, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe join.me
    Mar 5, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure if that has a client mode
    Mar 5, 2015 12:39 AM - jbigler1986: that's what im using right now
    Mar 5, 2015 12:39 AM - jbigler1986: no it's logmein
    Mar 5, 2015 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: Then I have to use teamviewer on my phone to remote access on the same computer to accept the logmein access
    Mar 5, 2015 12:41 AM - jbigler1986: That's why I was wondering about Repetier Server
    Mar 5, 2015 12:51 AM - jbigler1986: Where does repetier save config files
    Mar 5, 2015 12:51 AM - Mike Kelly: good question
    Mar 5, 2015 12:52 AM - jbigler1986: Trying to add my robo 3d file to repetier server
    Mar 5, 2015 12:52 AM - Mike Kelly: i think you export that
    Mar 5, 2015 12:53 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe not
    Mar 5, 2015 12:53 AM - Mike Kelly: go to file > show work directory
    Mar 5, 2015 12:55 AM - jbigler1986: I don't see it in there
    Mar 5, 2015 12:55 AM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
    Mar 5, 2015 12:56 AM - jbigler1986: I don't see anywhere to export the setting either
    Mar 5, 2015 12:57 AM - Mike Kelly: me neither
    Mar 5, 2015 12:57 AM - jbigler1986: Has to be saved somewhere
    Mar 5, 2015 1:00 AM - jbigler1986: I found where the program location is. Searching for it in there
    Mar 5, 2015 1:05 AM - jbigler1986: I can't find it. Argh
    Mar 5, 2015 1:05 AM - Mike Kelly: what does google say
    Mar 5, 2015 1:06 AM - jbigler1986: Google is silent. Lol. Figured it would be in there
    Mar 5, 2015 1:08 AM - jbigler1986: Gotta do it throught registry. WTF
    Mar 5, 2015 1:08 AM - Mike Kelly: interesting
    Mar 5, 2015 1:11 AM - jbigler1986: I found them not sure how to get it into the right format though
    Mar 5, 2015 1:15 AM - jbigler1986: Screw it. I'm not messing with it anymore
    Mar 5, 2015 1:16 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.dumpert.nl/embed/6642654/7de6d49f/ lol this guy
    Mar 5, 2015 1:20 AM - jbigler1986: Dumbass. Nice fingerprints all over
    Mar 5, 2015 1:23 AM - Mike Kelly: terrible form all around
    Mar 5, 2015 1:25 AM - jbigler1986: woops
    Mar 5, 2015 1:26 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/6642746/e4388419/britse_ventjes_gaan_hete_peper_des_doods_eten.html
    Mar 5, 2015 1:26 AM - jbigler1986: Dumb. If my kids ever do some shit like that.
    Mar 5, 2015 1:28 AM - Mike Kelly: not working for me but i can imagine what happens based on the title
    Mar 5, 2015 1:31 AM - jbigler1986: I'm ready to try repetier when i get home now. Hopefully it works out. I don't see why it won't since Mattercontrol does.
    Mar 5, 2015 1:33 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
    Mar 5, 2015 1:33 AM - Mike Kelly: you can also use cura engine from repetier
    Mar 5, 2015 1:34 AM - jbigler1986: Cura gave me bad z artifacts. Slic3r is way better results for me
    Mar 5, 2015 1:34 AM - Mike Kelly: slicers don't really do that
    Mar 5, 2015 1:36 AM - jbigler1986: IDK what else it could have been. I didn't change any hardware between the 2 and slic3r in mattercontrol has been way way better
    Mar 5, 2015 1:37 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm just letting you know
    Mar 5, 2015 1:37 AM - Mike Kelly: something else was causing the issue
    Mar 5, 2015 1:37 AM - Mike Kelly: blaming the slicer is like blaming the tire for an engine issue
    Mar 5, 2015 1:37 AM - jbigler1986: It's just very odd I guess.
    Mar 5, 2015 1:38 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/make-2015-3d-printer-shoot-out-test-geometries try the Z resonance tower
    Mar 5, 2015 1:46 AM - Mike Kelly: man i'm already on vacation mode
    Mar 5, 2015 1:47 AM - jbigler1986: I don't blame you
    Mar 5, 2015 1:54 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.buzzfeed.com/alanwhite/these-awesome-guitars-were-made-with-a-3d-printer#.em7L8AnZL
    Mar 5, 2015 2:39 AM - Mike Kelly: *pokes forum* do something interesting
    Mar 5, 2015 2:46 AM - jbigler1986: It's been rather quiet
    Mar 5, 2015 2:47 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if the update caused that or if it's coincidental
    Mar 5, 2015 2:48 AM - jbigler1986: Maybe lots of people are getting their issues fixed
    Mar 5, 2015 2:49 AM - Mike Kelly: the improved search means they find the answer now
    Mar 5, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: none of the links work that you find on google
    Mar 5, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: which is kind of a bummer
    Mar 5, 2015 2:56 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah he's supposed to fix that
    Mar 5, 2015 3:04 AM - jbigler1986: I still haven't found a camera mount solution
    Mar 5, 2015 3:04 AM - Mike Glass: Mike, do you know a way to put text in a layer itself?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:06 AM - jbigler1986: Question: Do you guys leave your Robo on 24/7?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:07 AM - Mike Glass: your doesnt power off after its done?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:08 AM - jbigler1986: I mean the lights and stuff like that. Not the bed and hotend
    Mar 5, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Glass: I dont, as the fans in the ps and hotend run all the time then.
    Mar 5, 2015 3:09 AM - Bill Monroe: I often have mine printing overnight so of course, it stays powered up
    Mar 5, 2015 3:10 AM - jbigler1986: THinking about buying a wemo power switch so I can shut it off when it's done and i'm not a t home.
    Mar 5, 2015 3:11 AM - Mike Glass: you can do that through adruino
    Mar 5, 2015 3:11 AM - jbigler1986: How so?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:11 AM - Mike Glass: its somewhere in the forums
    Mar 5, 2015 3:11 AM - Bill Monroe: Octiprint
    Mar 5, 2015 3:12 AM - Bill Monroe: or rather, Octoprint
    Mar 5, 2015 3:12 AM - Bill Monroe: they turned off the ability to edit here
    Mar 5, 2015 3:12 AM - jbigler1986: Is that easy to setup on windows?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:13 AM - Bill Monroe: the Weom I got for xmas failed in 3 weeks
    Mar 5, 2015 3:13 AM - Bill Monroe: it runs on a Raspberry PI
    Mar 5, 2015 3:13 AM - jbigler1986: I tried on my pi and had issues
    Mar 5, 2015 3:13 AM - Bill Monroe: but yes, it's easy to set up
    Mar 5, 2015 3:13 AM - Bill Monroe: mine works flawlessy
    Mar 5, 2015 3:14 AM - Bill Monroe: but for reasons that escapes me, it take way too long to xfer code to the SD card
    Mar 5, 2015 3:14 AM - Bill Monroe: its ok though, I dont do that remotel anyway
    Mar 5, 2015 3:14 AM - jbigler1986: I had problems accessing it even on localhost
    Mar 5, 2015 3:14 AM - jbigler1986: sometimes I could and sometimes I couldn't
    Mar 5, 2015 3:15 AM - Bill Monroe: doesnt sound lie Pi problem
    Mar 5, 2015 3:15 AM - Mike Glass: how does that turn off your machine
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - jbigler1986: I would like to use Repetier Server but can't get the dang printer config file
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - Bill Monroe: sends to command
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - Bill Monroe: but if you cant software command your machine to power down, it cant do it either :)
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - Mike Glass: Do you have to do a mod on the ramps at all?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, you need a relay
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - Bill Monroe: I did it with the PI
    Mar 5, 2015 3:16 AM - Mike Glass: Ok Thats what I thought.
    Mar 5, 2015 3:17 AM - jbigler1986: I will just try a wemo or an alternate. Not that big of an issue
    Mar 5, 2015 3:18 AM - Bill Monroe: relay board to SSR
    Mar 5, 2015 3:18 AM - Mike Glass: I just want big oh shit button
    Mar 5, 2015 3:18 AM - jbigler1986: Wife gets mad sometimes when I spend to much time tinkering
    Mar 5, 2015 3:18 AM - Bill Monroe: I can control a friggen compressor with that thing
    Mar 5, 2015 3:18 AM - Bill Monroe: I solved the wife problem with an upgrade
    Mar 5, 2015 3:19 AM - jbigler1986: jewelry upgrade?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:19 AM - jbigler1986: lol
    Mar 5, 2015 3:20 AM - Bill Monroe: heh no
    Mar 5, 2015 3:20 AM - Bill Monroe: Wife 2.0
    Mar 5, 2015 3:20 AM - Mike Glass: I dont have enough money for that version. lol
    Mar 5, 2015 3:21 AM - Bill Monroe: I didnt think I did either but... you know why it costs so much??

    Mar 5, 2015 3:21 AM - Bill Monroe: ....... becuase it's worth it
    Mar 5, 2015 3:21 AM - Bill Monroe: :)
    Mar 5, 2015 3:21 AM - Mike Glass: and a newer revision.
    Mar 5, 2015 3:22 AM - Bill Monroe: I just kep the service packs up to date
    Mar 5, 2015 3:25 AM - jbigler1986: Wife 2.0 means kids less time for me. Even if I wasn't happy with my wife I think I woould stick it out
    Mar 5, 2015 3:26 AM - Bill Monroe: it often does.. in my case - I got my kids, just had a 44K lawyer bill
    Mar 5, 2015 3:26 AM - Bill Monroe: but it was worth every penny
    Mar 5, 2015 3:27 AM - jbigler1986: That's a hefty one. You get what you pay for though
    Mar 5, 2015 3:27 AM - jbigler1986: Most of the time
    Mar 5, 2015 3:29 AM - Bill Monroe: I got to keep all my money, no alimony so, it was worth it
    Mar 5, 2015 3:29 AM - jbigler1986: If I wanted to upgrade the hotend should I go single or dual
    Mar 5, 2015 3:30 AM - Bill Monroe: it depends on what wyou want to do
    Mar 5, 2015 3:30 AM - Bill Monroe: what extruder do you have?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:30 AM - jbigler1986: hexend
    Mar 5, 2015 3:31 AM - Bill Monroe: well it's up to you but I wouldnt change it unless it broke.. the hex works pretty well
    Mar 5, 2015 3:31 AM - Mike Glass: you can do dual hex
    Mar 5, 2015 3:31 AM - jbigler1986: hmmmm
    Mar 5, 2015 3:32 AM - Bill Monroe: yes, you can BUT think about this:
    Mar 5, 2015 3:32 AM - Bill Monroe: it's super important that noth nozzles are exactly the same height above the bed.. that takes a bit of work to do with Hexs
    Mar 5, 2015 3:34 AM - jbigler1986: Is it a pain to setup what and how much color you want on your print
    Mar 5, 2015 3:35 AM - Bill Monroe: some folks want two colors some (like me) want to different materials.. how you proceed depends on which you're after
    Mar 5, 2015 3:35 AM - Bill Monroe: also for dual color printing, you need to learn how to build your solids
    Mar 5, 2015 3:36 AM - jbigler1986: yeah that's to much for me. lol. i think i will stick with just pausing a print and changing filament
    Mar 5, 2015 3:37 AM - jbigler1986: Possible to set a specific layer to pause on in repetier?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:38 AM - Bill Monroe: well, you can manually edit the gcoe
    Mar 5, 2015 3:38 AM - Bill Monroe: gcode
    Mar 5, 2015 3:38 AM - Bill Monroe: i dont know if you can tell slic3r to do it
    Mar 5, 2015 3:39 AM - jbigler1986: Can you view layers by the number somewhere in repetier?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:40 AM - Bill Monroe: id have to check.. I know you can in S3D
    Mar 5, 2015 3:40 AM - jbigler1986: Like layer 30 then it will show you where that layer is on the model
    Mar 5, 2015 3:40 AM - Bill Monroe: oh you mean just look at it in the software? sure..
    Mar 5, 2015 3:41 AM - Bill Monroe: after you slice, theres controls for viewing the layers
    Mar 5, 2015 3:41 AM - Bill Monroe: lunch with the boss today.. bbl
    Mar 5, 2015 3:41 AM - jbigler1986: Then say I wanted to pause at layer 30. How do I find that in the Gcode
    Mar 5, 2015 3:42 AM - jbigler1986: I know you use like @pause I think it is
    Mar 5, 2015 3:43 AM - Mike Kelly: repetier has a nice preview feature
    Mar 5, 2015 3:43 AM - jbigler1986: That way I don't have to sit and wait for that layer and manually pause it
    Mar 5, 2015 3:47 AM - jbigler1986: does gcode have layer numbers?
    Mar 5, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Kelly: yes looks like @pause
    Mar 5, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Kelly: not really
    Mar 5, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Kelly: use layer height to find it
    Mar 5, 2015 3:47 AM - jbigler1986: Just a minute and I will look at the preview
    Mar 5, 2015 3:49 AM - Mike Kelly: looks to me like cura injects a comment for layers
    Mar 5, 2015 3:55 AM - Mike Glass: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/analog-heated-bed-v0-1 seriously!
    Mar 5, 2015 3:56 AM - Mike Kelly: oh that's silly
    Mar 5, 2015 3:57 AM - jbigler1986: What is going through some peoples mind
    Mar 5, 2015 3:57 AM - Mike Kelly: "this won't burn my house down"
    Mar 5, 2015 3:58 AM - jbigler1986: Just imagine that sitting under the Robo bed. Lol
    Mar 5, 2015 4:01 AM - jbigler1986: Ok. I have Repetier up
    Mar 5, 2015 4:03 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/pH4SPjO
    Mar 5, 2015 4:03 AM - jbigler1986: That's funny
    Mar 5, 2015 4:03 AM - Mike Glass: Its supper fast now..lol
    Mar 5, 2015 4:04 AM - Mike Glass: too 1 min to print with the .8 nozzle.
    Mar 5, 2015 4:04 AM - jbigler1986: Ok lets say I want to pause at layer 147. how do I find that in the gcode
    Mar 5, 2015 4:06 AM - Mike Glass: I should load that on my other laptop, I dont have it here at work.
    Mar 5, 2015 4:11 AM - jbigler1986: is G92 E0 the start or end of a layer?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:15 AM - Mike Kelly: 147*layer height
    Mar 5, 2015 4:15 AM - Mike Kelly: find G1 Z(that value)
    Mar 5, 2015 4:18 AM - jbigler1986: G1 Z30.100 F7800.00
    Mar 5, 2015 4:20 AM - jbigler1986: The first line of code on layer 147 is (G1 Z31.100 F7800.00)
    Mar 5, 2015 4:22 AM - Mike Glass: I thought the layer is defined inthe z
    Mar 5, 2015 4:23 AM - Mike Kelly: what
    Mar 5, 2015 4:24 AM - Mike Glass: Is that line 147 or actual layer 147?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:24 AM - jbigler1986: it's actually G1 Z30.900 F7800.00
    Mar 5, 2015 4:25 AM - jbigler1986: That's layer 147. I moved the slider bar to layer 147 then clicked (First Layer) and it took me to that line of code
    Mar 5, 2015 4:25 AM - Mike Glass: yep, thats what I did..cool
    Mar 5, 2015 4:26 AM - jbigler1986: So I would enter @pause after the last line of code correct?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:26 AM - Mike Glass: do you want it before or after that layer.
    Mar 5, 2015 4:26 AM - jbigler1986: well before actually. My bad
    Mar 5, 2015 4:27 AM - Mike Glass: yep
    Mar 5, 2015 4:27 AM - Mike Glass: You changing colors or adding weight?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:27 AM - jbigler1986: colors
    Mar 5, 2015 4:28 AM - jbigler1986: It would auto resume to the same spot correct? Or would I need to edit more
    Mar 5, 2015 4:29 AM - Mike Kelly: nope should just pick up after that
    Mar 5, 2015 4:30 AM - jbigler1986: I thought I saw somewhere that when it hits that command I can add code so that it will auto raise the nozzle?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:30 AM - Mike Kelly: don't know on that
    Mar 5, 2015 4:31 AM - jbigler1986: http://help.printrbot.com/Answers/View/3465/Can+you+switch+filament+mid-print
    Mar 5, 2015 4:31 AM - jbigler1986: Lastly cause the head to retract when the pause statement is issued so you can deal with the filament by editing the "Run On Pause" G-Code: (Image 4)
    Mar 5, 2015 4:31 AM - jbigler1986: Picture 4 on that page
    Mar 5, 2015 4:32 AM - Mike Kelly: well there you go
    Mar 5, 2015 4:33 AM - Mike Glass: yea just use the pull downs dont do a manual input on the lines.
    Mar 5, 2015 4:33 AM - jbigler1986: I need to manually enter @pause though right
    Mar 5, 2015 4:34 AM - Mike Glass: the pull down I thought had pause
    Mar 5, 2015 4:36 AM - jbigler1986: start, end, run on kill, run on pause, script 1,2,3,4,5
    Mar 5, 2015 4:36 AM - Mike Glass: nv @pause is in picture 3
    Mar 5, 2015 4:37 AM - jbigler1986: I wonder if you could have it turn off temp then heat back up when you resume
    Mar 5, 2015 4:37 AM - jbigler1986: In case I couldn't get to it for a while
    Mar 5, 2015 4:39 AM - Mike Glass: says you change heat temp so not sure why not.
    Mar 5, 2015 4:44 AM - jbigler1986: Hmm. I'm sure I can turn it off. Just not sure on how to heat it back up before it would start back up
    Mar 5, 2015 4:49 AM - Mike Kelly: manual controls
    Mar 5, 2015 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: That's true. Since I would have to be there to start it anyways
    Mar 5, 2015 4:50 AM - Mike Kelly: right
    Mar 5, 2015 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: M109 S0 to turn it it off
    Mar 5, 2015 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: automatically
    Mar 5, 2015 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: or M103 to turn off extruder?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:53 AM - Mike Kelly: just use whatever the end gcode uses
    Mar 5, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: Just add that to the pause comand?
    Mar 5, 2015 4:55 AM - Mike Kelly: if that's what you're trying to accomplish
    Mar 5, 2015 4:55 AM - jbigler1986: Ok. I will test it on a small cube tonight and report results
    Mar 5, 2015 4:59 AM - jbigler1986: very curious to see if it actual works as planned honestly

    Mar 5, 2015 at 8:57 PM - jbigler1986: MORNING
    Mar 5, 2015 at 9:01 PM - jbigler1986: I got one for you guys this morning. I printed this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:253934
    Mar 5, 2015 at 9:02 PM - jbigler1986: The small gear that drives the big gear for the crank keeps slipping bad. Also the shaft that is attached to the big gear on the crank slides up sometimes causing the small gear to slip or not contact the large gear at all.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 9:06 PM - jbigler1986: What I am wanting to do is make a spacer that is inbetween the big gear and the base so it won't allow the shaft to slide up anymore. Also does anyone have a suggestion on better gears for it? I don't have the time or the knowledge to learn how to 3d design right now.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 9:09 PM - jbigler1986: This is a better description of what i'm trying to solve. "Just wanted to update--everything worked great. I did add a washer above the large gear, and beside the small gear to help eliminate movement and keep them in contact. I wish I was smart enough to just make the washers about 2mm thicker to help gear mesh, but maybe someday I'll figure that out. I'm still learning regarding 3d modeling. I'm a CNC programmer and drafter, but my line of work
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:02 PM - Robb: does anyone have a link out there to all the old firmware?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:02 PM - Robb: im looking for the original auto level firmware RoboAuto
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:17 PM - jbigler1986: Can't help you there. Sorry
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:22 PM - Robb: the newest firmware is causing my printer to go crazy
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:23 PM - jbigler1986: What issues?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Robb: had the printer for almost a year and never updated the firmware. Updated last week and now i get 'firmware unresponsive' on prints and the print head will go off in one direction
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Robb: never had that happen until i updated the firmware
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:27 PM - Robb: im using USB connection to my computer because i have a remote desktop app on my phone that allows me to control the printer. So i dont want to switch to SD card or LCD.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:29 PM - jbigler1986: That's what I'm doing as well. Have you reflashed the firmware?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Robb: just re installed it? yes
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Robb: using andrino
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Robb: I just upload the new one. Should i be doing something else before uploading the new firmware?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:32 PM - jbigler1986: Did you install the correct one?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:33 PM - Robb: yep. the most up to date version.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:33 PM - Robb: it prints ok. Then all the sudden it will stop and the print head will fly off in one direction until it hits the stop switch and come back and start printing again
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:34 PM - Robb: others have had this problem too when they update firmware and are using a usb connection.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:34 PM - Robb: it might be something with the early printers
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:35 PM - Robb: how old is your printer
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:35 PM - jbigler1986: Try installing it again. Sometimes an install has some hicups. Try to install it again and see if that solves it
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:37 PM - jbigler1986: I have only had mine for like a month. Had some kinks to work out but I think I solved most of them.

    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:38 PM - jbigler1986: I have a full graphics controller installed but that's the only mod/upgrade I have done so far. Going to add 2 fans this weekend. Been busy printing other stuff. Lol
    Mar 5, 2015 at 10:39 PM - jbigler1986: I need to rip off that damn sticker. It's bugging me
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:01 PM - Robb: i have 2 fans, e3d v6 and new LEDs. Next for me is a bowden feed...
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:01 PM - Robb: but first i have got to get this firmware problem solved
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:02 PM - Robb: Reading through the forum it looks like others have had my problem updating the firmware on the older Robo's
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:03 PM - jbigler1986: I have the hexend so no need for a new extruder yet
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:04 PM - jbigler1986: Did you reflash it yet? Just takes a minute or 2
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:04 PM - Robb: Im at work and its in the middle of a print. So i have to wait until i get home.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:05 PM - jbigler1986: Gotcha. I need to figure out a camera mount solution
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:05 PM - jbigler1986: I want it fixed rather than moving with the bed
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:05 PM - Robb: i designed a bracket for my dlink camera
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:06 PM - Robb: mounts to the side of my robo
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:06 PM - jbigler1986: pics?

    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:07 PM - jbigler1986: So it's hard to find something
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:08 PM - Robb: design out in SketchUp
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:08 PM - Robb: one
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:09 PM - jbigler1986: I have no 3d design skills at all
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:09 PM - Robb: [​IMG]
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:10 PM - Robb: [​IMG]
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:10 PM - Robb: http://s18.postimg.org/alccy1ap5/IMG_0607.jpg
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:11 PM - jbigler1986: Interesting. That's kinda what I'm looking for. Just need a way to attach my camera to that
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:11 PM - jbigler1986: I would drill a hole in it to use the case mounting hole. I have longer screws to mount something to it
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:13 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have an stl file for that
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:14 PM - Robb: at home i do. not here.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:378656
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Robb: i need to post it to thingiverse
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: Wonder if I could cut that in netfab just for the part that holds the camera and attach it to your design
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:16 PM - Robb: i didn't know anything about SketchUp when i first got my printer. It is really easy to learn'
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:17 PM - Robb: I'm guessing that webcam has a tripod mount... you can download camera mounts with tripod mounts on them. Should work
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:17 PM - jbigler1986: It doesn't
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: I could just drill a hole through the base.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:20 PM - jbigler1986: I'm going to search on thingiverse and yemmi or whatever it's called really quick
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:30 PM - Mike Glass: another day another dollar. Mornin
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:36 PM - jbigler1986: Morning
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:36 PM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. The pause command "kinda" worked
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:37 PM - jbigler1986: It paused and raised the extruder. Then it slowly fell down
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:38 PM - Mike Glass: ? fell down?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:39 PM - jbigler1986: The extruder slowly went back down to the position it paused on
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:40 PM - Mike Glass: odd eh
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: agreed
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: Oh well.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: Manually pausing it is
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:41 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have a suggestion of 40mm fans from amazon? Not the Noctua ones. Don't feel like paying $13 for a 40mm fan
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:43 PM - Mike Glass: I just got some let me look at my order.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:43 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OFL1J8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:44 PM - jbigler1986: sweet. One day shipping is available too. Hells yeah. I'm very impatient when I order stuff
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:45 PM - Mike Glass: me too. they are over 6 cfm so the best for the size.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:46 PM - jbigler1986: Amazon prime is a godsend
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:46 PM - jbigler1986: Did you keep the stock one? Or get 2 of those
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:46 PM - Mike Glass: yep and love the music you get for free also
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:46 PM - Mike Glass: I got two, so I can use the stock one for backup
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:47 PM - jbigler1986: What splitter did you use
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:47 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJVKKKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:47 PM - jbigler1986: I have a bunch of splitters but they don't seem to fit any fans I have tried them on
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:48 PM - jbigler1986: unavailable
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:48 PM - Mike Glass: must of got the last ones
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:49 PM - Mike Glass: Arriving Tue, Mar 24 - Thu, Apr 9 they are on the boat..lol
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:49 PM - jbigler1986: can you see if frys.com has them
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:49 PM - jbigler1986: Ha. I know how that goes. I deal with shipping containers and shipments on a daily
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:52 PM - jbigler1986: I have 2 40mm fans I got from Fry's but they don't push hardly any air at all
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:54 PM - Mike Glass: what was the cfm rating?
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:55 PM - jbigler1986: says 5cfm
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:55 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.frys.com/product/5382968?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:57 PM - Mike Glass: 5 cfm , so should be like the stock robo fan.
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:58 PM - jbigler1986: Do the fans I have look ok though? Maybe it was just because they were just in the open and not being funneled
    Mar 5, 2015 at 11:59 PM - Mike Glass: They should work fine.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:00 AM - jbigler1986: Ok. Awesome. Don't have to by those then. I will see if i can get the splitters/connectors i have to work
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:01 AM - Mike Glass: did you print these yet. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:431160
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:02 AM - jbigler1986: Not yet
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:02 AM - jbigler1986: Printing an 8 hour paper organizer to make the wife happy
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:05 AM - jbigler1986: I don't think I will ever print with ABS again

    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:05 AM - Mike Glass: I love ABfnS
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:05 AM - jbigler1986: Meh. I don't mind the time
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:06 AM - jbigler1986: I just let the long ones go overnight and while at work
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:06 AM - jbigler1986: Hope I have enough filament to finish the print. Woops
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:07 AM - Mike Glass: I want to put a filament detector on mine.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:08 AM - jbigler1986: that would be awesome
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:08 AM - jbigler1986: It would be nice if you could get a sensor that if you run out it pauses so you can continue the print
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:10 AM - mark tomlinson: http://tunell.us/
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:11 AM - mark tomlinson: works with Marlin and RAMPS boards (like ours)
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:11 AM - jbigler1986: Hmm. DOesn't seem like to much soldering
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:13 AM - jbigler1986: Says it works with Sailfish
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:23 AM - mark tomlinson: "Marlin RAMPS Boards Firmware Modification Instructions here Special thanks to Ziggy from the Robo3D forums."
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:24 AM - mark tomlinson: Ziggster already got them sorted so it works with ours
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:24 AM - jbigler1986: What all needs to be modified
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:24 AM - mark tomlinson: read the linked instructions
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:24 AM - mark tomlinson: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...WFpbnx0dW5lbGxkZXZ8Z3g6Mjg3Nzk2MzQzNTQyNjJmMA
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:25 AM - mark tomlinson: but there is a link in the page for it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:28 AM - jbigler1986: Seems easy enough
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:28 AM - jbigler1986: Any of you installed one?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:34 AM - mark tomlinson: ziggy has :)
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:36 AM - jbigler1986: Ha. Duh on my part
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:36 AM - jbigler1986: Oh and Repetier Host is giving me great results too. Idk what was up with Cura but whatever
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:40 AM - JeffTheMess: Hello everyone
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:41 AM - jbigler1986: Hello
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:41 AM - jbigler1986: Mark or Mike have you tried the wood fimanet?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:41 AM - jbigler1986: filament*
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:42 AM - mark tomlinson: I used Repetier the most of all the free ones. It was so easy to store custom profiles for every spool of filament. Then just load the model and profile and click print. and Yes, I use two types of the wood filament. The normal and the Bamboo
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:42 AM - mark tomlinson: both are awesome
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:43 AM - jbigler1986: do they clog easily?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:43 AM - mark tomlinson: Not with a larger bore nozzle. They suggest 0.5 or larger. I have used 0.6 and 0.8 with no troubles. The bamboo is so light.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:44 AM - mark tomlinson: it weighs a lot less than regular filament when printed
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:44 AM - jbigler1986: So would the .4 give trouble then?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:44 AM - JeffTheMess:
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:45 AM - mark tomlinson: It could, your mileage may vary. I tried it with no troubles, but others have said it is not happy with a 0.4
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:45 AM - JeffTheMess: check out Barnacules he reviewed it with the robo3d
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:45 AM - jbigler1986: Forgot about that
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:45 AM - jbigler1986: He changed his naozzle though I believe
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:47 AM - JeffTheMess: I don't think he did I would have to look back at the video
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:50 AM - jbigler1986: From his tips and fixes video he said he had issues with his extruder and had to order a new one. Not sure which one he got
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:53 AM - JeffTheMess: http://e3d-online.com/E3D-V5-1.75mm-Direct-All-Metal-HotEnd
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:54 AM - JeffTheMess: from the other video he had
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:56 AM - jbigler1986: Can someone make me 2 spacers? I have no idea how to 3d model
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:57 AM - jbigler1986: I need them for this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:253934 One that goes between the Big gear and the base and one that goes between the small gear and base
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:02 AM - JeffTheMess: Wish I was home could it made it. Gotta learn how to model, 3dprinting becomes a lot more fun
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:05 AM - jbigler1986: I will once I get the time. So damn busy once I get home
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:05 AM - JeffTheMess: What kind of software you planning to use?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:07 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure yet. Some say sketchup, some say 123design. IDK
    Mar 6, 2015 at 2:35 AM - Tony cerda: Hi. where can i get the latest firmware for the robo pla+abs for a working LCD display?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 2:37 AM - jbigler1986: So you are trying to get your LCD screen to work?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 2:39 AM - jbigler1986: Which LCD screen do you have? XXL or Full Graphics?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:06 AM - Mike Glass: Jb what size do you need the spacers?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:07 AM - jbigler1986: Um. Not sure what size to be honest. I don't have the parts or my calipers with me at work
    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:11 AM - jbigler1986: The don't need to be real precise. Just needs to keep the big gear from and shaft from moving up. Same with the small gear.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:12 AM - jbigler1986: just needs to keep enough "pressure" to keep the gears engaged
    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:14 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure if you can open the files and get the dimensions or not
    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:59 AM - Mike Glass: sometimes you can. but I mean how thick and where does it go?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:35 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/KAK57hG
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:36 AM - jbigler1986: the yellow is about the distance from the gear to the base. There is a gap there that needs filled with a spacer
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:36 AM - jbigler1986: Does that make sense?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:38 AM - jbigler1986: Then here is the gap between the small gear and base
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:39 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/v1UKcPS
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: Better picture
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/ngSl2db
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:44 AM - JeffTheMess: wow that's a big gap i wonder why it was so big in the design phase
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:45 AM - jbigler1986: No idea. I was reading comments and someone said they had to add spaces too.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:47 AM - jbigler1986: If I knew how I would add different gears all together.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:49 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah a simple extrude would do the trick from behind the gear, well if no one does it by 5:30 or so I can do it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: What do you mean by that? Simple extrude?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:52 AM - JeffTheMess: I use Autodesk Inventor and you can "extrude", on the back and make a 3d shape like a cirlce
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:53 AM - jbigler1986: interesting
    Mar 6, 2015 at 4:53 AM - jbigler1986: I would appreciate it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 5:23 AM - JeffTheMess: Yeah no problem
    Mar 6, 2015 at 5:23 AM - JeffTheMess: thats from thingiverse right
    Mar 6, 2015 at 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
    Mar 6, 2015 at 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: Well about time to go home. I will hop on here and see if you posted the part yet. Thanks again
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:20 AM - JeffTheMess: Hey jbigler you need a spacer or you rather reprint it with an extended cylinder in the back?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:22 AM - jbigler1986: What do you mean by extended Cylinder
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:24 AM - JeffTheMess: hold on i'll put it together to show you what I mean, give me a few mins
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:27 AM - jbigler1986: I would say a spacer because it has to go around the shift because the shift spins
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:29 AM - JeffTheMess: you know the dimension of the square
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:29 AM - JeffTheMess: sure, why not
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:30 AM - jbigler1986: Measuring now
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:32 AM - jbigler1986: Height needs to be 4.8mm. A little taller is OK bc I can sand it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:33 AM - jbigler1986: Inside diameter 9mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:33 AM - jbigler1986: Outside diameter doesn't matter to much
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:34 AM - jbigler1986: Then I need a square spacer too
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:36 AM - jbigler1986: Inside diameter of the square is 4.3mm by 4.3mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:36 AM - jbigler1986: Outside diameter doesn't matter much
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:38 AM - JeffTheMess: you want that exactly or tiny bit bigger remember the tolerances
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:38 AM - jbigler1986: That was a tiny bit bigger
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: I added a few fractions of a millimeter to both
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:39 AM - JeffTheMess: cool
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:40 AM - JeffTheMess: okay done
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:41 AM - jbigler1986: Dang that was fast
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:43 AM - JeffTheMess: okay not I need you to see it, Send me a private chat with your email I can send you what I have with the orginal file
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:44 AM - JeffTheMess: okay now*
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:46 AM - jbigler1986: sent
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:48 AM - JeffTheMess: check it out let me know if you need changes

    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:55 AM - JeffTheMess: may look that way but its the dimension are what you gave me thickness of 4.8mm the square 4.3x4.3 circle 9 mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:56 AM - jbigler1986: I think i told you wrong
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:57 AM - jbigler1986: I need 2 seperate spacers
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:57 AM - jbigler1986: The first needs to have a circle inside diameter
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:58 AM - jbigler1986: the side of the shaft is 9mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 6:59 AM - jbigler1986: So size
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:10 AM - JeffTheMess: okay to understand what you need 1 of 9mm ID and the 2nd 9mm iD right
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:13 AM - jbigler1986: no. the first spacer needs to have an inside diameter of 9mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:13 AM - jbigler1986: outside diamater 11mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:14 AM - jbigler1986: height of the spacer 5mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:18 AM - JeffTheMess: sent
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: that looks correct. let me print it really quick
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:19 AM - jbigler1986: the other one was the whole size of my buildplate. lol
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:19 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:20 AM - jbigler1986: printing
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:20 AM - jbigler1986: 4 minutes
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:22 AM - jbigler1986: ok. the other spacer
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:23 AM - JeffTheMess: let me know what you need
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:23 AM - jbigler1986: the inside diameter needs to be 4.15mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:23 AM - jbigler1986: each side is 4.15
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:24 AM - jbigler1986: know what i mean
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:24 AM - jbigler1986: outside diameter can be square or circle dowsn't matter
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:25 AM - jbigler1986: just make it 2mm larger please
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:25 AM - jbigler1986: and the height is 3.3mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:26 AM - JeffTheMess: so you need a square inside? or a circle
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: square
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: actually circle would be ok
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:28 AM - jbigler1986: if you do circle inside i would go 4.4mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:28 AM - JeffTheMess: what ever you prefer
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:29 AM - jbigler1986: circle since the crank has to spin inside of it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:29 AM - jbigler1986: this first one looks good
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:29 AM - JeffTheMess: lets see it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: let me let it cool down before i pop it off
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:32 AM - JeffTheMess: sent the other
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: it looks correct too. Picture is taking forever to upload
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:49 AM - JeffTheMess: Haven't gotten a chance to explore this website looks nice
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: can you redo the first one
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:51 AM - JeffTheMess: how so
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: make the inside diameter a little bigger
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: and the height a little shorter
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: i had to file it because it was to big and it snapped. lol
    Mar 6, 2015 at 7:54 AM - JeffTheMess: sent

    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: I will let you know
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: 2 minutes left
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:07 AM - jbigler1986: did i say smaller on the circle one?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:07 AM - jbigler1986: i meant bigger
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:07 AM - jbigler1986: inside diameter bigger
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:08 AM - JeffTheMess: I made it bigger by .2mm how how much bigger you want it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:09 AM - jbigler1986: the whole part is smaller. it wont fit over the shaft
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:09 AM - jbigler1986: the square is perfect
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:11 AM - JeffTheMess: great glad to hear one is good, so what do you need as your ID and OD and thickness
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: let me measure again
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:12 AM - jbigler1986: inside diameter 9.15
    Mar 6, 2015 at 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: outside 13mm

    Mar 6, 2015 at 11:34 AM - JamesLogan: twice now my printer has crapped out mid print - it loses contact with the COM the printer is on (COM 3) - any suggestions?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:02 PM - jbigler1986: Print from SD card
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:02 PM - jbigler1986: Switch USB ports and cables
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:04 PM - JamesLogan: thanks jb
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: what up JB
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: hola
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: question
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:14 PM - Mike Glass: How is MK in chat but no logged in. hmmm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: Could you make me a simple bar/bracket that goes from the screw hole on the side of the robo and comes out then angles towards the bed so I can clip my camera to it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Mike Glass: hmm, do you have a sketch and measurements?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:24 PM - jbigler1986: Nope. Doesn't need to be special at all. Just basically a flat bar that come straight out about a foot then has about a 70 degree angle towards the robo
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:24 PM - jbigler1986: About a 1/4 inch thick
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:28 PM - Mike Glass: Iike what robb posted?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:32 PM - Mike Glass: http://thingiverse-production.s3.am...2/DSC_0376_display_large_preview_featured.jpg how about something like this.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: Don't think that would work
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:34 PM - Mike Glass: thats what im gonna use for my logitech, then you can make it as long as you want

    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: Kinda like this but I don't know how I would attach it to the robo
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: That's the camera I have too
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:35 PM - Mike Glass: what model
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:37 PM - Mike Glass: i think yours was liked zoomed in though, mine I can set on the front of the bed and see the whole bed
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: Logitech c525
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:39 PM - Mike Glass: no think they are the same
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:40 PM - Mike Glass: This is about 12" from the front smooth bar. http://vaughnlive.tv/coolreactions
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:41 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah mine wasn't zoomed and can quite see the whole bed. Plus I think if it was fixed it wouldn't glitch as much
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:43 PM - Mike Glass: I have a ps3 camera also that sits an the bed and works really good.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:44 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I'm trying to find something to work for it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: That has to sit so far back though, it would vibrate alot
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: mini tripod would be better
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: No room on my table I have it on
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: thats why that top mount would work the best you make it as long as you want. I might be able to make the pieces bigger.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: then there would be adjustability
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: How would I attach it to the case? Trying to avoid screw an extra hole in the case
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: If it would work I would gladly do it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:53 PM - jbigler1986: Where is that on thingiverse
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:53 PM - Mike Glass: you could use set screws so you would have to drill holes, thats what I usually do, drill a hole an put in the hex screws and it tightens agains the body.

    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:53 PM - jbigler1986: Or robbs thing he posted would work
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:54 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8269
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:56 PM - jbigler1986: Trying to think of ways to attach it to the top without drilling a hole in the case
    Mar 6, 2015 at 12:59 PM - Mike Glass: if its tight enough you shouldnt have too
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:00 PM - Mike Glass: I got it open in SW I can modify if it doesnt fit. let me measure
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:00 PM - jbigler1986: OK. So it would be pressure fit on the case?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: What about it coming from the opening on the top of the case? I know it would need to be a lot longer but might be more sturdy
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:06 PM - Mike Glass: that camera weights nothing though
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: True
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:07 PM - jbigler1986: Whatever is easiest and works. Would the base just clip on?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:08 PM - jbigler1986: Kinda hard to see how it attaches to the case
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:09 PM - Mike Glass: just pushes on
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:09 PM - jbigler1986: hmm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: I'm about to print the clip to see how it fits
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: 18 minutes
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: they are too big I just sized it down in SW
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: ok. just killed it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: next option
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:17 PM - Mike Glass: I can send you the one I just modified
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:17 PM - Mike Glass: made the clip bigger too
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: will it work?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: it should i put it just at 3.80 mm
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: ok. send it and i will print it and test it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw9Fe7LfIIUTMmR2WTVQcDlKaUU/view?usp=sharing
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: I will print also
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: k
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: 30 minutes
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:22 PM - Mike Glass: haha, I have an .8 nozzle so like 5 min
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:23 PM - jbigler1986: well shall i wait then
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:24 PM - Mike Glass: it may be diffent in size due to the size of extrusion, mine are usually over extruded with the .8 nozzle.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: i will let it print
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:25 PM - jbigler1986: got some more filament tonight
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: had to get pink too to make the wife happy
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:26 PM - Mike Glass: lol funny
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:27 PM - Mike Glass: I would like the transparent pinks if they had one.

    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: I have had 0 problems with it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:31 PM - Mike Glass: http://vaughnlive.tv/coolreactions here we go. Print abs with fans on..
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: i'm printing the fan mounts tonight
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: damn that thing is cruising
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:33 PM - Mike Glass: yea maybe too fast..lol
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:34 PM - Mike Glass: Printing at .4 layer height, I can go to .6 layer height with this nozzle.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: seems good so far
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:35 PM - Mike Glass: yea no bad edges at all
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:35 PM - Mike Glass: I love when people say, you cant print abs with fans on.. bullshit
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:36 PM - Mike Glass: its all about size, now if I had a hole plate full of stuff no, I would not use a fan.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: your printing so much so fast that it doesn't hurt it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:37 PM - Mike Glass: and its 100 % fill
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:38 PM - Mike Glass: now wait for the pop.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: hairspray is amazing
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:39 PM - Mike Glass: sometimes they jump up and fall..lol
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:39 PM - jbigler1986: i have 2 of those myself
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:40 PM - jbigler1986: like 3 bucks at cvs
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:40 PM - Mike Glass: I printed my other fan today, it is longer than the first on I printed out, as they shipped the wrong code it had the wrong z steps. so its shorter..
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Mike Glass: sucker is stuck on there, few more min.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:42 PM - jbigler1986: little twist usually does it
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: where is everyone

    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:46 PM - jbigler1986: pretty snug?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:47 PM - Mike Glass: yea
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:48 PM - jbigler1986: think it will hold camera and several arm pieces?
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:49 PM - Mike Glass: takes quite a bit to of pull
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: might add just a touch of tape just to be safe
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: well
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:50 PM - Mike Glass: there ya go

    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:51 PM - jbigler1986: what size bolts will be needed for the arms
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:52 PM - Mike Glass: says m3 or #4-40
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: I don't think i have any that size laying around
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: i do have a ton of screws though. lol
    Mar 6, 2015 at 1:54 PM - Mike Glass: Yea I have a tote full but most are really tiny or car size screws

    Mar 6, 2015 at 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: Might just go with the normal ones.
    Mar 6, 2015 at 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: It's getting late here

    Mar 6, 2015 9:56 PM - jbigler1986: Good morning
    Mar 6, 2015 10:21 PM - jbigler1986: Had to reprint just the fan duct. Idk what happened but it messed up about halfway through
    Mar 6, 2015 10:48 PM - JeffTheMess: Good morning, how'd your print come out?
    Mar 6, 2015 11:39 PM - Jeff Mercado: I have a question for the gurus... on auto bed leveling.
    Mar 6, 2015 11:39 PM - Jeff Mercado: I have seen a printout of a grid of the measurements when probing the bed but cannot find the Gcode to accomplish this
    Mar 6, 2015 11:39 PM - Jeff Mercado: does anyone know how to show the results of probing the bed in the grid?
    Mar 7, 2015 12:08 AM - Jeff Mercado: Got it... I had Repetier log settings messed up.
    Mar 7, 2015 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: How should I connect a 3 pin fan to the 2 pin jst connection
    Mar 7, 2015 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: Also print came out good. It works great.
    Mar 7, 2015 12:42 AM - jbigler1986: Just need to keep messing with it because the heart gears are a little tight
    Mar 7, 2015 12:48 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.frys.com/product/7726848?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
    Mar 7, 2015 12:49 AM - jbigler1986: would that work? Just cut of the end without the jst and solder to my 40mm fans
    Mar 7, 2015 12:53 AM - jbigler1986: or this http://www.frys.com/product/8068134?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
    Mar 7, 2015 2:03 AM - Mike Glass: Jb
    Mar 7, 2015 2:13 AM - jbigler1986: Hello
    Mar 7, 2015 2:14 AM - jbigler1986: I think I found a 2 pin connecter that will work that I have. Can't test it until my print is done
    Mar 7, 2015 2:21 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/GAfayZJ
    Mar 7, 2015 2:22 AM - jbigler1986: There is a picture of it
    Mar 7, 2015 2:24 AM - Mike Glass: just use the red and black wires, the yellow is a for monitoring speed.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:25 AM - Mike Glass: I got my camera mounted
    Mar 7, 2015 2:26 AM - jbigler1986: There is no red, black, yellow.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:26 AM - jbigler1986: Got a pic of it mounted?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:26 AM - Mike Glass: I made a swivel mount.what are the colors?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:28 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/lBSpPRp
    Mar 7, 2015 2:29 AM - jbigler1986: Did you just add the swivel to the other parts you printed
    Mar 7, 2015 2:30 AM - Mike Glass: I remade the camera mount. How can you tell what wires are what?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:32 AM - jbigler1986: No idea. I don't have a multimeter anymore
    Mar 7, 2015 2:33 AM - jbigler1986: I just googled a pinout
    Mar 7, 2015 2:34 AM - jbigler1986: Ground, power input, nc
    Mar 7, 2015 2:34 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/7FT0ptd
    Mar 7, 2015 2:35 AM - jbigler1986: I have to get bolts for the arms anyways. What kind did you use for the swivel
    Mar 7, 2015 2:35 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/i2BBvEQ
    Mar 7, 2015 2:36 AM - Mike Glass: its all m3, that one was bigger I was out of them so my nut is too big and kinda intefers with the other nut.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:37 AM - Mike Glass: that just sounds bad
    Mar 7, 2015 2:37 AM - jbigler1986: U want that swivel
    Mar 7, 2015 2:37 AM - Mike Glass: yea I like the side angles better then straight on.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:39 AM - Mike Glass: The arms didnt fit together without cleanup, not sure if that was because of my .8 nozzle though.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:40 AM - jbigler1986: Mine fit good. A little loose which will be fine once I get the bolts
    Mar 7, 2015 2:41 AM - Mike Glass: ok, so just my overextrusion
    Mar 7, 2015 2:41 AM - jbigler1986: Can u upload the swivel mount
    Mar 7, 2015 2:41 AM - Mike Glass: sure.

    Mar 7, 2015 2:45 AM - jbigler1986: Thanks
    Mar 7, 2015 2:45 AM - jbigler1986: M3 nuts and bolts right?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:47 AM - Mike Glass: yep, thats what I have on the arms.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:49 AM - Mike Glass: I just popped off the cover of that camera, it has a focus ring, just refocused mine had to break the glue but its super clear now.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:54 AM - jbigler1986: Hmm
    Mar 7, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Glass: mine is 8" from the smooth x axis bar.
    Mar 7, 2015 3:14 AM - jbigler1986: I wasn't paying attention before I actually started the print last night. Ended up printing 15 arms. Woops
    Mar 7, 2015 3:22 AM - BryZad: good afternoon all
    Mar 7, 2015 3:22 AM - Mike Glass: I printed 5 long and one short
    Mar 7, 2015 3:22 AM - Mike Glass: hey Bry
    Mar 7, 2015 3:22 AM - BryZad: Hey mike
    Mar 7, 2015 3:23 AM - BryZad: do you remember the conectors we were talking about for the heat bed and thermistor ?
    Mar 7, 2015 3:24 AM - BryZad: Mike K was talking about them
    Mar 7, 2015 3:25 AM - Mike Glass: I think he used the Deans
    Mar 7, 2015 3:26 AM - Mike Glass: I use the XT-60 they are good up to 60 amps.
    Mar 7, 2015 3:27 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Female...id=1425756411&sr=8-1&keywords=xt-60+connector
    Mar 7, 2015 3:27 AM - BryZad: those work for the thermisor wires are small
    Mar 7, 2015 3:28 AM - BryZad: printer is down cause a heat bed wire pulled out
    Mar 7, 2015 3:29 AM - BryZad: and one of the cable chian links let go
    Mar 7, 2015 3:31 AM - BryZad: i might run to radio shack and see what they have
    Mar 7, 2015 3:39 AM - Mike Glass: oh the other connectors
    Mar 7, 2015 3:39 AM - Mike Glass: JST SM connectors
    Mar 7, 2015 3:44 AM - BryZad: i have those
    Mar 7, 2015 3:55 AM - JeffTheMess: Hello all, quick question for everyone. for support material rectangle vs honeycomb...which is best?
    Mar 7, 2015 4:02 AM - Mike Glass: honeycomb is the strongest
    Mar 7, 2015 4:05 AM - JeffTheMess: great thanks.
    Mar 7, 2015 4:20 AM - Quest: but honeycomb is slower so depends on what your making.
    Mar 7, 2015 4:23 AM - JeffTheMess: Strength before speed I guess, if you really want it strong that extra time shouldn't bother right
    Mar 7, 2015 4:24 AM - Mike Glass: just build it at 100% infill, thats the strongest?
    Mar 7, 2015 4:24 AM - Mike Glass: I use a .8 nozzle so its fast to do @ 100%
    Mar 7, 2015 4:26 AM - JeffTheMess: right if you dont care about weight but 100% is best....8 nozzle good? I hear people swap nozzles depanding on what they print
    Mar 7, 2015 4:26 AM - Bill Monroe: http://vaughnlive.tv/socalplanedoc
    Mar 7, 2015 4:34 AM - Mike Glass: hey Bill
    Mar 7, 2015 4:41 AM - Bill Monroe: Hi Mike

    Mar 7, 2015 5:33 AM - TechSupportGo: Yolo
    Mar 7, 2015 5:34 AM - jbigler1986: Check "avoid crossing perimeters"
    Mar 7, 2015 5:35 AM - jbigler1986: Under advanced settings
    Mar 7, 2015 5:35 AM - jbigler1986: Under layers tab I believe
    Mar 7, 2015 5:36 AM - TechSupportGo: What's up guys
    Mar 7, 2015 5:36 AM - JeffTheMess: hope that works, its a killer waiting
    Mar 7, 2015 5:38 AM - JeffTheMess: wow, that was quick, will my prints be affected by the "avoid crossing perimeters"?
    Mar 7, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: Nope
    Mar 7, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: Hi tech
    Mar 7, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Glass: I have a new revision fo the swivel, so you want that JB
    Mar 7, 2015 6:00 AM - jbigler1986: Yes please
    Mar 7, 2015 6:00 AM - jbigler1986: Is it one piece?
    Mar 7, 2015 6:02 AM - Mike Glass: no, just give it some more height so screws wont interfere if bigger.
    Mar 7, 2015 6:02 AM - Mike Glass: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw9Fe7LfIIUTaW9IYXR4WE82MlU/view?usp=sharing
    Mar 7, 2015 6:09 AM - jbigler1986: Thank you
    Mar 7, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: Will print it in about 30 minutes
    Mar 7, 2015 6:12 AM - Mike Glass: do you have a measureing tool, to make sure we have the same camera
    Mar 7, 2015 6:14 AM - Mike Glass: I might have to find a fast way to bond two piece for abs together, I may run out of my blue on this project...ugg
    Mar 7, 2015 6:19 AM - jbigler1986: I have calipers
    Mar 7, 2015 6:32 AM - Mike Glass: should be somewhere in the area of 35x15mm
    Mar 7, 2015 6:32 AM - jbigler1986: The base of the camera
    Mar 7, 2015 6:38 AM - jbigler1986: ?
    Mar 7, 2015 6:43 AM - Mike Glass: when it folded up
    Mar 7, 2015 6:43 AM - Mike Glass: the back bracket
    Mar 7, 2015 6:55 AM - jbigler1986: So that connecter I have fits good.
    Mar 7, 2015 6:55 AM - jbigler1986: Just need to split the other end of it into my 2 fans
    Mar 7, 2015 6:55 AM - jbigler1986: Don't have to cut into the wiring on the robo that way
    Mar 7, 2015 6:59 AM - Mike Glass: I soldered right on the connectors, you can remove the connectors if you push in the tabs with a small screwdriver.
    Mar 7, 2015 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: They work. Sweet
    Mar 7, 2015 7:32 AM - AJinFLA: Hi All 1st time finaally hooking up printer, trying use cura, at least finally recognizes it but bed level buttons, up is down down is up, guy replaced thermistor and hex nozzle whole assembly, did he reverse something? ty
    Mar 7, 2015 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: Try mattercontrol just to trst
    Mar 7, 2015 7:40 AM - AJinFLA: keeps crashing on me before even gets name input on setup, could try to unistall n reload but really want away from it asap
    Mar 7, 2015 8:16 AM - AJinFLA: ok got cura in line i did not load filament properly so i need to retry, is everything still hot, do i need to wait or?
    Mar 7, 2015 8:18 AM - AJinFLA: thinking i should shut off n install the new hobbled bolt n herringbone gears? do i need to do anything other than close cura and shutoff power or is their shutdown proceedures?
    Mar 7, 2015 8:36 AM - AJinFLA: ok had to shutoff nite
    Mar 7, 2015 9:50 AM - jbigler1986: Anyone here
    Mar 7, 2015 9:50 AM - Mike Glass: nope
    Mar 7, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17101 just got done with this except for the plexi shield.
    Mar 7, 2015 9:54 AM - jbigler1986: Nice.
    Mar 7, 2015 9:55 AM - jbigler1986: Haven't had time to print the swivel yet. Cooking dinner right now. Very late at that
    Mar 7, 2015 9:56 AM - jbigler1986: Gotta solder the fans after dinner. Will be set after that. Then I will print the swivel
    Mar 7, 2015 9:57 AM - TechSupportGo: yo
    Mar 7, 2015 10:11 AM - jbigler1986: Sup
    Mar 7, 2015 10:15 AM - Mike Glass: Yo tech what up
    Mar 7, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: I should post that to thingiverse eh.
    Mar 7, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: The saw?
    Mar 7, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Glass: no , the robo cam
    Mar 7, 2015 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: Yes I agree
    Mar 7, 2015 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: With the larger arms too
    Mar 7, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Glass: Im really liking it, works very good.
    Mar 7, 2015 10:42 AM - jbigler1986: I'm ready to try it out
    Mar 7, 2015 10:42 AM - jbigler1986: Question for ya
    Mar 7, 2015 10:43 AM - jbigler1986: Could you make a snap ring? Not sure what it's actually call
    Mar 7, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: It's like a key ring but it has a ball on on end that snaps into the other end. Do you know what I'm talking about
    Mar 7, 2015 10:47 AM - Mike Glass: ball coupler?
    Mar 7, 2015 10:48 AM - jbigler1986: I don't think that's it. I searched that and that just showed hitches
    Mar 7, 2015 10:53 AM - jbigler1986: Hmmm.
    Mar 7, 2015 10:54 AM - jbigler1986: I can't find it. :mad:
    Mar 7, 2015 10:57 AM - Mike Glass: ball and socket swivel?
    Mar 7, 2015 11:00 AM - jbigler1986: No. It's like a key ring. Except it has a ball or and ovel on one end and a hallow ball shape that it snaps into to close it.
    Mar 7, 2015 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/751/241/382/382241751_595.jpg
    Mar 7, 2015 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: Like that except a ball or ball shape to snap it together
    Mar 7, 2015 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: I guess it doesn't need to be a ball shape. It would just need to snap closed and open to add keys to it
    Mar 7, 2015 11:12 AM - Mike Glass: I gotcha, yea like a fishhook keychain
    Mar 7, 2015 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: Um. Not sure. Google just wants to show actual fish hook keychains
    Mar 7, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Glass: yea I know..lol
    Mar 7, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Glass: maybe not the name
    Mar 7, 2015 11:17 AM - Mike Glass: looking on amazon now
    Mar 7, 2015 11:17 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.keyring.com/images/products/detail/97570_web.jpg
    Mar 7, 2015 11:17 AM - jbigler1986: That might work
    Mar 7, 2015 11:18 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure if it could be printed in one piece
    Mar 7, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Glass: nothing to keep tension on it though
    Mar 7, 2015 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: I know. That's why I was thinking the snap thing so it would snap together
    Mar 7, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:235871
    Mar 7, 2015 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: It's for my wife. She wants a normal circle
    Mar 7, 2015 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: I wish I could find a picture or think of what it's called
    Mar 7, 2015 11:24 AM - jbigler1986: http://upload.ecvv.com/upload/Product/20135/China_Fashion_Metal_Ball_Chain20135271506023.jpg
    Mar 7, 2015 11:25 AM - jbigler1986: Like the ball on one end and that connecter on the other so it snaps closed
    Mar 7, 2015 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: Does that make sense
    Mar 7, 2015 11:30 AM - defendermd: time to break out the CAD
    Mar 7, 2015 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: used for keychains?
    Mar 7, 2015 11:34 AM - AJinFLA: stupid ? I'm sure, bought used 1st setup, bed wizard screen in Cura, says lower 10mm mine goes up n vise versa, not just the way it is eh, lol? what could he have backward doing a thermistor and hotend hex replacement?
    Mar 7, 2015 11:35 AM - AJinFLA: if ou would be so kind
    Mar 7, 2015 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: I dont think you can use the bed wizard in any software with the robo.
    Mar 7, 2015 11:39 AM - AJinFLA: how do u guys do auto level bed calibration? just skirt check?
    Mar 7, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Glass: piece of paper level manual
    Mar 7, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Glass: that will get a better reading when autolevel runs
    Mar 7, 2015 11:40 AM - Mike Glass: I use a business card, seems to work best for me.
    Mar 7, 2015 11:41 AM - AJinFLA: ok ty i have it moving around n telling me to raise just above w each rod etc, using paper now
    Mar 7, 2015 11:41 AM - jbigler1986: Or like a bill that printed on the thick paper
    Mar 7, 2015 11:42 AM - AJinFLA: just guy i got it from bs'ed about so much i figured he did something wrong last minute as i was walking in to pu
    Mar 7, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Glass: make sure you dont use autolevel in the software though.
    Mar 7, 2015 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: you can use it the level, but dont print with it on.
    Mar 7, 2015 11:44 AM - AJinFLA: lol havent even seen that, just used mike kellys cura guide. wish me luck, last effort, i had filament in wrong so tore it down, did hobbed bolt upgrade, herringbone gears etc
    Mar 7, 2015 11:44 AM - AJinFLA: ok tyvm mike i appreciate your time
    Mar 7, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: hope it works out for you
    Mar 7, 2015 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: Damn
    Mar 7, 2015 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: Soldered the wires to short for the fans. Gotta resolder and add and extended wire. I failed
    Mar 7, 2015 12:17 PM - jbigler1986: I will print that damn swivel sometime tonight. Even if I have to stay up until 2am. It's happening
    Mar 7, 2015 12:53 PM - Mike Glass: oh man, that sucks

    Mar 7, 2015 1:44 PM - Mike Glass: ?
    Mar 7, 2015 1:44 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/YdtPISO
    Mar 7, 2015 1:45 PM - jbigler1986: Wiring is a little sloppy. I will clean it up tomorrow
    Mar 7, 2015 1:46 PM - jbigler1986: The swivel mount. Does it attach to the mount that was with the original design?
    Mar 7, 2015 1:49 PM - Mike Glass: no I sent you both pieces.
    Mar 7, 2015 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: got it
    Mar 7, 2015 1:51 PM - jbigler1986: How is yours set up again
    Mar 7, 2015 1:52 PM - jbigler1986: nvm
    Mar 7, 2015 1:52 PM - jbigler1986: I scrolled up and saw it
    Mar 7, 2015 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: Printing the mount pieces now
    Mar 7, 2015 1:57 PM - Mike Glass: PInk?
    Mar 7, 2015 1:59 PM - jbigler1986: lol. I can print something in pink after this so you can see it
    Mar 7, 2015 2:00 PM - jbigler1986: The back fan duct is so close to the bed
    Mar 7, 2015 2:00 PM - Mike Glass: mine are like 2mm from the bed.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:00 PM - jbigler1986: Tip on getting the angle a little higher
    Mar 7, 2015 2:01 PM - jbigler1986: let me show you on my stream
    Mar 7, 2015 2:01 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
    Mar 7, 2015 2:03 PM - jbigler1986: Did you see it
    Mar 7, 2015 2:06 PM - Mike Glass: opps no
    Mar 7, 2015 2:06 PM - jbigler1986: ok look now
    Mar 7, 2015 2:08 PM - Mike Glass: loosen the screw on the back on
    Mar 7, 2015 2:08 PM - Mike Glass: it should allow to angle up more.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:08 PM - jbigler1986: ok. yeah i tightened it pretty tight
    Mar 7, 2015 2:09 PM - Mike Glass: mine are loose so I can take them on and off easily
    Mar 7, 2015 2:10 PM - jbigler1986: the mounts pop off pretty easy
    Mar 7, 2015 2:11 PM - Mike Glass: not mine, but mine are ABS
    Mar 7, 2015 2:12 PM - jbigler1986: I keep forgetting which way the offset goes
    Mar 7, 2015 2:12 PM - jbigler1986: it's a tiny bit to low and i need to raise it
    Mar 7, 2015 2:13 PM - jbigler1986: it's at .6
    Mar 7, 2015 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: so would it be .5 or .7
    Mar 7, 2015 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: .7
    Mar 7, 2015 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: try .65
    Mar 7, 2015 2:15 PM - jbigler1986: ok. printing now
    Mar 7, 2015 2:15 PM - jbigler1986: damn time change

    Mar 7, 2015 2:17 PM - jbigler1986: I know. I already changed it though
    Mar 7, 2015 2:27 PM - jbigler1986: damnit. I didn't have one of them flat on the bed when i sliced it
    Mar 7, 2015 2:27 PM - jbigler1986: gotta start over
    Mar 7, 2015 2:29 PM - jbigler1986: I need to print a top mount bar where I can put like 3 spools of filament at a time.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:31 PM - jbigler1986: Anything I can do with a spool of filament that is 1.9mm in diameter besides abs glue
    Mar 7, 2015 2:32 PM - Mike Glass: cant use int?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:32 PM - Mike Glass: it?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:33 PM - jbigler1986: Nope. It keeps jamming. Won't extrude. Just gets stuck
    Mar 7, 2015 2:33 PM - jbigler1986: Then grinding and all of that fun stuff
    Mar 7, 2015 2:34 PM - jbigler1986: let me measure it again
    Mar 7, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Glass: Can you return it was is specified as 1.75
    Mar 7, 2015 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: 1.92
    Mar 7, 2015 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: 1.88
    Mar 7, 2015 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: 1.95
    Mar 7, 2015 2:39 PM - jbigler1986: 1.69
    Mar 7, 2015 2:39 PM - jbigler1986: this spool is all over. lol
    Mar 7, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Glass: What brand?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: Shaxon. I found a section that was correct. Maybe I could get it started and then maybe it will work.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:41 PM - jbigler1986: only bad spool out of about 15 so far
    Mar 7, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Glass: 15? holy crap
    Mar 7, 2015 2:42 PM - jbigler1986: well I have 12 spools right now and have used a few
    Mar 7, 2015 2:42 PM - jbigler1986: the stuff is cheap and right down the road
    Mar 7, 2015 2:43 PM - jbigler1986: been printing like a mad man
    Mar 7, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Glass: How much a rool?

    Mar 7, 2015 2:43 PM - jbigler1986: for 1k
    Mar 7, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: thats about what I pay for the JustPLA brands, and Hatchbox
    Mar 7, 2015 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: how is hatchbox? almost ordered some on amazon
    Mar 7, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Glass: THe blue that I have been using is ABS from Hatchox, I have a pla clear red also, they both seem nice

    Mar 7, 2015 2:49 PM - jbigler1986: I think I might order a few colors from them.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:49 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have any warping issues with abs and large prints?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:50 PM - jbigler1986: I had tons on my Up that i had so i stopped using it. Plus pla smells alot better
    Mar 7, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Glass: Yea, you have to be carefull with it, I try not to do big parts with it, small parts it rocks.
    Mar 7, 2015 2:53 PM - jbigler1986: big parts pla and small abs?
    Mar 7, 2015 2:53 PM - Mike Glass: I do like the ability to smooth it out with acetone.

    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:14 PM - jbigler1986: Good morning
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:14 PM - Bill Monroe: dood fan fail! :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:15 PM - jbigler1986: Is it normal for during a print for the fan to turn off and on during the print? It's not a fan failure as when the fan is off it shows that it's off in repetier.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:15 PM - Bill Monroe: I saw that, I dont think you can make that happen with a slicer
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:16 PM - Bill Monroe: but you might want to look at your printer.. rear fan has problems
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:17 PM - jbigler1986: What do you mean
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:17 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm loking at your ustream
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:18 PM - Bill Monroe: looking
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:18 PM - jbigler1986: I just turned it on in repetier and it turned on fine
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:22 PM - jbigler1986: Got it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Bill Monroe: I sw that :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:24 PM - jbigler1986: Woops. I think what happened was that the back fan was to low and it hit the print and that knocked it off
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:25 PM - jbigler1986: I loosened it and angled it up more so it's not as low
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:25 PM - Bill Monroe: whatcha making?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:25 PM - jbigler1986: The fan was turning off and on last night when the print started.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:26 PM - jbigler1986: A bookend. Happy wife happy life
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:26 PM - jbigler1986: I must say with the added fan the quality looks amazing
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:28 PM - Bill Monroe: I've got too much fannage on my machine
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:32 PM - Bill Monroe: http://vaughnlive.tv/socalplanedoc
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Ben R: yea, competing air flow?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Bill Monroe: you'd think but no, not really
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Bill Monroe: i've not been able to get the fan extender to work yet
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:35 PM - Ben R: i have one, and any strings just fly off the print. fan extender?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, when you add a second rxtruder/nozle, the original fan control get taken over.. the firmware moves it to another pin
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Ben R: oh...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Ben R: good to know...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Bill Monroe: and you get this lil add-on board to use that pin.. i got one of the boards but it didnt work.. waiting for another one now
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm trying some XT now with no fan but it need one
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm going to have to rig something until the fan control works
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Ben R: xt?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Ben R: just run the fan on a rheostat ;)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Bill Monroe: yup.. that would be the "rig" :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Ben R: i accidentally swapped my fan wires. bad for the hotend, but i found that my leds are dim-able.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Bill Monroe: did you plaster led strips on the inside of the cover like I did?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Ben R: no, just one on the head.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Ben R: i need to though
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Bill Monroe: aha... nice
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Ben R: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?attachments/img_1403-jpg.6613/
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Bill Monroe: are you going to heat the interior?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Ben R: its kinda heated.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Bill Monroe: but no controls?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Ben R: oh like for a heating element other than the bed?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Bill Monroe: I'd put mine in a box with extra heat if I could be assured that the parts in the machine could take it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Ben R: well how much heat? I think everything would be fine to about 50-60C
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Ben R: maybe a little less
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. I have another machine I made a few years ago where I ripped-off as much of the Stratasys tech I could
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Bill Monroe: heated the interior you to 200F
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Bill Monroe: up to 200F
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Ben R: hmmm
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Bill Monroe: made uber-awesome ABS prints
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Ben R: make ribs in there
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Bill Monroe: but I should have spent more time protecting the components... they suffered
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Ben R: yea... 200f is no joke.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Bill Monroe: so, next machine will be designed with a better arrangement to the companents are safe from excessive heat
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:48 PM - Ben R: not too many plastics will stand up to that indefinitely
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:48 PM - Ben R: well, in the case of mine, no pun intended, all the electronics are under the case with massive fans.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:49 PM - Ben R: the cold end is moving outside the case, so it will just be the belts and x stepper
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:49 PM - Ben R: shortly
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:49 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. mine is too but the bearings, motors and belts take a beating
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:49 PM - Ben R: the belts is my worry. I have bearings. the belts gaining any elasticity is troublesome
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:50 PM - Ben R: I wonder if I could do a screw drive x and y
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:50 PM - Bill Monroe: that's what I am doing.. ball drives
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:50 PM - Ben R: hmm... I haven't seen it done yet
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:51 PM - Bill Monroe: mounted shafts.. cast aluminum table support.. no heated glass
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:52 PM - Ben R: eh.. sounds like work...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:52 PM - Bill Monroe: ohya, it is :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:52 PM - Ben R: then again, most of that stuff exists already
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:54 PM - Bill Monroe: i have two stratasys machines.. one ABS, one Polycarb.. the ABS machine has dead controls now but made ABS parts 12 years ago that even the best consumer machies today only dream of equaling
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:55 PM - Bill Monroe: i will unabashedly rip off everything they did making the next machine
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:55 PM - Ben R: hmm
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:55 PM - Ben R: I have been shopping other machines, and really think I;d be happier building my owb
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:55 PM - Ben R: own
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:55 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, I'm there too.. honetly, the robo has been a huge dissapointment
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:56 PM - Ben R: only thing is figuring out the firmware
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:56 PM - Bill Monroe: but fun in making improvements :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:56 PM - Ben R: I'm not HUGELY disappointed with it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:56 PM - Ben R: relative to other consumer printers friends own
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:57 PM - Bill Monroe: I used Labview on my machine.. works great and I dont have to be wary of ham-handed "programmers" messing with it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:57 PM - Ben R: I mean, mine just got done with a 33 hour print with no problem
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:57 PM - Bill Monroe: the fact it took 33 hours is a problem for me :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Ben R: well, for FDM that's the state of the industry
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Bill Monroe: the consumer industry maybe
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Ben R: I'm not sure that FDM is the way to go though
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Ben R: easy as it may be
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Ben R: No, I've compared quality to quality, the 25000 dollar machined doesn't do all that much better
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:59 PM - Ben R: I assume that the giant refrigerator sized units must have multiple heads whirring around
    Mar 7, 2015 at 9:59 PM - Bill Monroe: well, I've got a 35K and a 150K machine to compare with daily...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:00 PM - Ben R: is it magic? They, and I am sure there are many styles, seem like they cost a robo in consumables per print
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:00 PM - Bill Monroe: not really.. my big machine really isnt that much different than the robo on a fundamental level.. it's just what they do with it that makes it awesome
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:00 PM - Ben R: as well take about the same time to print the same object
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:03 PM - Bill Monroe: http://www.stratasys.com/3d-printers/production-series/fortus-380-450mc
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:05 PM - Bill Monroe: I did a part on my robo that ook 90 mins, that only took 16 mins on the firtus
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:06 PM - Ben R: how is the difference?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:06 PM - Ben R: rigid construction allows faster speeds?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:06 PM - Ben R: or is it using a different process?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:06 PM - Bill Monroe: it's a dul hear machine.. basica stuff.. it's head is blur
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:07 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. it's very robust 23 series motors..
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:07 PM - Ben R: yea, the ringing in the robo is rediculous,
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:07 PM - Bill Monroe: dual head.. gas my keyboard needs a new battery.. hang on
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:07 PM - Ben R: but I see it in my friends with random machines of random construction

    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:07 PM - Ben R: the one common part... nema 17
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:08 PM - Ben R: hek, some don't even have belts and they have plenty ringing
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:08 PM - Ben R: if it weren't for the ringing, I'd print at about 120mm/s or higher
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:09 PM - Bill Monroe: ok, not the only excuse for my typing is me :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:09 PM - Ben R: Matter of fact, I do on junky stuff that has irrelevant finish.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:09 PM - Bill Monroe: they also dont use the infamous dual screw z axis mess
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:10 PM - jbigler1986: Damn fan. Idk why it keeps turning off in repetier
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:10 PM - Bill Monroe: loose connection?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:10 PM - Ben R: settings
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:10 PM - Bill Monroe: that was the first thing I thought of when I saw it turning on and off
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:11 PM - Ben R: yea, the dual screw thing is something even robo abandoned in the r2 and whatever their "pro" machine is called.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:11 PM - Ben R: No reason I couldn't do something like that.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:11 PM - Bill Monroe: are they using the elevating table?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:12 PM - Ben R: in the mini, yes
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:12 PM - Ben R: other than that, I dunno
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:12 PM - Bill Monroe: every pro level machine uses that
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:12 PM - Bill Monroe: and.... so will I :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:12 PM - Ben R: no... not every
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:12 PM - Ben R: i dig the ones that use a roll away table
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:13 PM - Ben R: seems potentially wonky. but how do you know youre printing big unless your platform has wheels
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:13 PM - Bill Monroe: having an nozzle that moves in Z make it more complicated to protect it from heat
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:14 PM - Ben R: yea, it is the lighter component... but....
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:14 PM - jbigler1986: Shouldn't be loose. I will resolder it later
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:14 PM - Ben R: you do any shopping? Is there a good consumer grade machine? I haven't found one that would be worth my time
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:15 PM - Bill Monroe: makerbot series seem to the the top of the consumers... not that they're good or antying, just been around long enough to work out some bugs
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:16 PM - Ben R: yea, unimpressed
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:16 PM - Ben R: for the price
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:16 PM - Bill Monroe: but, like you, I'm going to make my own so I can stop this playing with improvments and get on with my life :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Ben R: Ha.. I do spend most of my printing time printing parts.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Bill Monroe: you're not alone :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Ben R: I almost started in on a mendel
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Ben R: but seems unstable
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Ben R: so why bother with them.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Bill Monroe: indeed
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:18 PM - Ben R: Start with 1 inch steel tubing on 1/4" walls. Get a good foundation ;)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:18 PM - Bill Monroe: cast iron :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:18 PM - Bill Monroe: if it doesnt require a forklift to move it, it's not enough
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:18 PM - Ben R: though, i need to get my welder wired in. I moved and have no garage. Wife hates when I weld in the basement
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Bill Monroe: ohg i could live wihtout a shop
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Ben R: exactly. I bet that fortus 450 needs a forklift
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Bill Monroe: I could not live without a shop
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Ben R: Yea, I am planning on retiring and moving in the next year or so. just moved here a year or so ago
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Ben R: so.. I'm renting
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Bill Monroe: yes it does even the old prodigy plus takes 4 guys to lift it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Ben R: BAsement... but no shop
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:20 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm bulding a shop at my retiremont home now...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:20 PM - Ben R: that's why I'm typing to you on a Vax 9000
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:20 PM - Ben R: I don't know where I'm retiring... so just stockpiling money
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:20 PM - Bill Monroe: vax?!?!? Bahahah i remnember those
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:21 PM - Bill Monroe: aj.. I bought a place 7 years ago so it would be all paid for free and clear when I get there
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:21 PM - Ben R: yea... the only plan
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:22 PM - Ben R: yea, when I was a computer science major, I was on the vt220 on a vax 9000. My uncle actually was an engineer on the entire vax line
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:22 PM - Bill Monroe: building a 45 X 75 earth sheltered place with a loft
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:23 PM - Ben R: earth sheltered? Desert dwelling?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:23 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. My place is in Joshua Tree high desert
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Ben R: jebus
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Ben R: you going to retire and become a coyote?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Ben R: good business in moving mexicans across that desert
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Bill Monroe: high-end place.. artists, musicians...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Bill Monroe: heh it's not like that at all
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Ben R: I lived in tucson for a bit... sure its not
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:25 PM - Bill Monroe: the CFO from facebook has a 4 million dollar place across the street.. art home.. he uses it to host think-tank style meetings with execs and TED-like thinkers
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Ben R: so you're just going to let them die in the desert?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Bill Monroe: die?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Ben R: there's no water between the border and phoenix
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Bill Monroe: oh.. them. yup, coyotes need to eat too :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Ben R: its up to the joshua tree folk to move them safely to market
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:27 PM - Bill Monroe: actually, the national park is between me and the I-10 so, not illegals
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:27 PM - Bill Monroe: no illegals
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:27 PM - Ben R: my kids will still be in school, so I can't afford to move to the south west yet
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:27 PM - Ben R: I was thinking taos or tucson.. but.. schools so bad... sooo bad
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:28 PM - Ben R: might as well move back to hawaii
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:28 PM - Bill Monroe: i was born in SoCal so it's bassically home for me.. but I'd retire in Texas if my wife was up for it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:28 PM - Ben R: I lived in san antonio for a few years too. Easy to get fat there. SO much food.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Bill Monroe: ohya
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Ben R: But so humid. I can take the 130F over 110 and 90% humidity
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Bill Monroe: hiding from the heat makes the desert a place to get fat and lazy
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Ben R: yea... like texas
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Bill Monroe: naw.. you sweat it off in Texas :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: I remember getting heat exhaustion mowing my tiny lawn.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: but I'm a new-englander. At the time, It was my first exposure to heat like that
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Bill Monroe: i guess it doesnt bother me..
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: or you're talking about odessa
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Ben R: not houston/san antonio/corpus christi
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Bill Monroe: i have a freind with an airport home north of ft worth.. spent 3 weks readying my plane to fly it home, working in a stell hanger in July
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Bill Monroe: steel
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Bill Monroe: just thinking makes you sweat
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:32 PM - Bill Monroe: i love that place though
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:32 PM - Bill Monroe: so cheap to buy really nice places
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:32 PM - Bill Monroe: people are awesome
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:34 PM - Bill Monroe: and, you can fly in every direction witout running into military resricted airspace ot pilot-killing terrain
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:34 PM - Ben R: yea, this central coast is for the birds. everyone has an air of importance and makes their money off taxpayers
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:35 PM - Ben R: I gave up on flying, probably due to miliary air space.. too much planning. but the kid is bothering me about a license now
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:35 PM - Ben R: but I'm retiring at 42/43 so I have to make my savings stretch
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: its been my passion my entire life.. gunna go through a bug evolution when I retire though
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Bill Monroe: fast plane will get sold.. valuable plane too
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: the skylane will go away
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Ben R: I may just go back to school...and work in a different field. went to college for ME but then other opportunities availed themselves.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Ben R: lazy won
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Bill Monroe: and I'll get something simple and slow

    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Ben R: nothing wrong with a 142
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:38 PM - Bill Monroe: i', going to drop from 3 planes to one.. maybe 2
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:39 PM - Bill Monroe: since I'm not needed a fast ride to go between homes anymore.. the cruisemaster will be hard to jusiify
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:39 PM - Bill Monroe: and the desert is never IFR
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Ben R: actually.. I bet I couldn't pass the physical now. yea, hawaii always had low clouds, drizzle and fog. Miss and you're in the middle of the pacific... oh yea, military air space and city zones too
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:43 PM - Ben R: ANyway... robo 3d is getting the job done to comparable quality to my friends machines. maybe a bit faster, and a bit more figety
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:43 PM - Ben R: I don't throw away much unless its a slice or setup error on my part
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:43 PM - Bill Monroe: soon, you wont need a physical to fly... they're abilishing the class 3
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:43 PM - Bill Monroe: abolishing
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:44 PM - Ben R: well, I get migraines. Which would be ok, but I lose left side of my vision. makes scanning, difficult
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:44 PM - Ben R: gave up my motorcycle as well.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:44 PM - Bill Monroe: yikes.. sorry to hear that
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:44 PM - Ben R: eh, its been a thing since puberty... but gets triggered by sun glare apparently
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:45 PM - Bill Monroe: brb gotta make a cable
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:45 PM - Ben R: which happens in airplanes. I didn't have a problem in hawaii, cuz.. 100% sunglasses
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:45 PM - Ben R: I have to get to a bunch of employee evaluations. ugh. put them off and put them off.. they don't go away
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:46 PM - Ben R: worst thing ever.. promoting out of actual work.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:50 PM - Ben R: So, anyone... is the robo on the front page new or old? Its different from mine.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:51 PM - Mike Glass: its old an new, new case old bed
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:56 PM - Bill Monroe: lloks like mine was before I changed everything
    Mar 7, 2015 at 10:57 PM - Bill Monroe: the liltle cable tightener on the x belt is kind of embarrassing though
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:01 PM - Bill Monroe: nothing like showcasing your leading product with a user-hack fix
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:11 PM - Ben R: he he
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:11 PM - Ben R: seems like them
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:11 PM - Ben R: if I ran a business, it would probably end up like robo
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:13 PM - jbigler1986: I love my robo. Just needed a few fixes. But for the price I can't complain
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:14 PM - jbigler1986: Ugh. Don't feel like taking the fans off an resoldering
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:14 PM - Ben R: switch to a clip on fan setup
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe the issue is that I used the rpm/speed wire too. Just wired the yellow and red together
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Ben R: there isn't a good fan in that box
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: This time I think I will just use red and black
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Ben R: yea,.. don't do that
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Ben R: use the 2
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Ben R: no yellow wire
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Ben R: its straight voltage driven
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:15 PM - Ben R: clip the yellow and see if it works
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:16 PM - Ben R: and'or swap with extruder fan to ensure connection is good
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:16 PM - jbigler1986: Didn't even think about that easy solution.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:16 PM - jbigler1986: Just gotta figure out which one is the sensor one
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:17 PM - jbigler1986: They aren't color coded. They are all like clear/gray
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:17 PM - Mike Glass: dont use the yelloooooooow
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:17 PM - Mike Glass: its like yellow snow
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: Did you look at my stream? Got the camera mounted
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:18 PM - Mike Glass: nice
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:18 PM - Mike Glass: you running now
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:18 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:19 PM - jbigler1986: Printing a bookend
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:19 PM - Mike Glass: that works awesome, where did you get it?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:20 PM - Ben R: Where's your stream?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:20 PM - jbigler1986: http://m.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:20 PM - Ben R: I almost bought a wifi camera yesterday, but ... a bit ridiculous on the price. $129 us. really?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:21 PM - jbigler1986: Fan is off. Watch. Gonna go into repetier and enable it.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:21 PM - Ben R: thats a lot of retraction...
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:21 PM - Ben R: yup its on
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:22 PM - Mike Glass: why did you have it off?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:22 PM - jbigler1986: It shuts off
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:22 PM - Mike Glass: when printing?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:22 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:22 PM - Mike Glass: why?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:22 PM - jbigler1986: No idea
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:23 PM - Mike Glass: I am making a change to the top clip btw
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:23 PM - jbigler1986: That's what I'm trying to figure out. Short in the connection or maybe shutting off due to using the yellow wires.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:23 PM - jbigler1986: Did do it with stock fan
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:24 PM - Mike Glass: guarantee it is the use of the extra wire.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:24 PM - Ben R: betcha betcha
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:24 PM - Ben R: where's your dikes.. get to it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:24 PM - Mike Glass: I want to add a swivel, so I can move it out of the way when I spray the bed.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:25 PM - jbigler1986: Gotta see if I can find the correct one to cut since they aren't color coded
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:25 PM - Mike Glass: shut off again
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:25 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.power-on.com/images/product/fans/sunon80mm3pin.jpg
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:26 PM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/i2BBvEQ Defendermd this is the camera mount I modified.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:26 PM - jbigler1986: Is that wiring a basis of all fans usually?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:27 PM - jbigler1986: If so I can follow the wire coming from the motor
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:27 PM - Mike Glass: mostly computer fans.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:27 PM - Mike Glass: let me check mine
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:28 PM - jbigler1986: OK. Of so I will just cut the yellow wire and see if that fixes it
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:28 PM - Ben R: the mount isn't a problem. I keep my robo in the shop and all the computers not.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:28 PM - Ben R: So I would need a wifi
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:28 PM - Ben R: yea yellow is the problem wire
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:29 PM - Ben R: doesn't the yellow wire just read the fan speed?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:29 PM - Ben R: for fault monitoring>
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:29 PM - Mike Glass: black red yellow is how mine is ordered
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:30 PM - Ben R: prolly likely to be a standard or at least a de facto standard

    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:34 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, tellow wire is the tach
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:35 PM - Bill Monroe: man, have you ever taken a dump so big, your pants fit better?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:35 PM - jbigler1986: Well. Looks like I will just guess. Lol. If it clip the wrong one looks like a Fry's trip
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:36 PM - Mike Glass: lol
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:37 PM - Mike Glass: I hooked one of mine to they yellow and smoked it, but is was just that circut didnt hurt the fan.
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:43 PM - jbigler1986: Nice. I will try it after this is finished
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:43 PM - jbigler1986: Should I run a print or just turn the fan on?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:44 PM - Bill Monroe: i turn mine of after the first layer
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:44 PM - Mike Glass: I would just turn them on in Repetier and let them run
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:49 PM - donhuevo: I want to say yellow is the pwm wire to tell the fan how fast to spin
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:49 PM - Ben R: should be
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:49 PM - Ben R: you turn fan OFF after first layer?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:50 PM - donhuevo: depends on the filament I guess

    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:52 PM - Mike Glass: they were little short
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:52 PM - donhuevo: couldn't get the heat break to thread in a little more?
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:52 PM - Mike Glass: so I chucked them in my drill clamped it to the table and took my dremel and made them longer.. :)
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:53 PM - Bill Monroe: oooo red-neck lathe

    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:53 PM - Bill Monroe: open-source centerless grinding
    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:55 PM - Mike Glass: Still like my .8 the best though.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:08 AM - Ben R: oh yea?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:10 AM - Mike Glass: Ok not sure what I need to print now, think its time to cnc some signs today.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:21 AM - Ben R: cnc? http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:669111
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:25 AM - Mike Glass: haha, I have a mame table im working on.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:26 AM - Ben R: I have gotten rid of so many arcade machines when moving ... want to make a table top... and modern computing can make it happen
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:26 AM - Ben R: have all the hardware... but the guy that is going to CNC the box for me wants some of my hardware in trade
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:32 AM - Mike Glass: my cnc is more like a carver, working on getting parts for a real cnc. http://www.carvewright.com/bestchoice-2/
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:43 AM - Ben R: still... fun
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:43 AM - Bill Monroe: Sears sold one like that a couple of years ago
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:43 AM - Ben R: I need a table/radial saw. I have gotten rid of most of my ... all of my non portable eq. can't cut a straight line very well with a battery operated circular saw
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:44 AM - Ben R: I mean, I can clamp a fence, but that's not always appropriate or doable
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:44 AM - Bill Monroe: I got my grandfather's MAX table saw when he died.. moving it is an event that must be planned
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:46 AM - Ben R: just was out taking some areal photos of the house/property. There's a sharp incline on the windward side. I discovered why the vultures are always circling over my house. It's got good updrafts. Poor heli was up in the sky and just wouldn't come down.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:46 AM - Bill Monroe: post 'em!
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:46 AM - Ben R: in the photo on that page, it has cut plywood (dinosaur statue)

    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:49 AM - Bill Monroe: ....but I used an SLR flying from a real plane :)
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:50 AM - Ben R: yea yea...
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:50 AM - Ben R: you can run into legal issues flying at my altitudes
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:50 AM - Ben R: never mind power lines and trees.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:51 AM - Ben R: I remember a heli lesson I once took (first one's free). guy had us hovering in a backyard. "hey, unless I touch down, it ain't trespassin'"
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:53 AM - Bill Monroe: heh i put an MD500 down in a field next to a tco bell cuz I was hungry
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:53 AM - Bill Monroe: so how do I attach pics here?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:55 AM - Ben R: printed one of these in 31 minutes... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:354723 came out nice. I don't even see ringing... race is on
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:55 AM - Ben R: here? I don't know as you can
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:55 AM - Ben R: that's why i did a chat thread

    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:56 AM - Ben R: sorry, general discussion
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:56 AM - Ben R: ok.. prolly not the best use of the forum
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:57 AM - Bill Monroe: oh.. got it
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:57 AM - Bill Monroe: tell you what. gimme a sec.. i'll put a few in photobucket
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:57 AM - Ben R: This part is downright excellent. .3 layer, printed at 120mm/s 250C with PETG. speed seems to suit PETG
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:57 AM - Ben R: keeps the globs down
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:58 AM - Ben R: super flexible and strong
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:58 AM - Ben R: photo bucket? what is this... 2002?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:59 AM - Bill Monroe: isnt it?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 12:59 AM - Ben R: I thought it went away... cuz whenever I click a photobucket link, its broken
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:03 AM - jbigler1986: What should I use to clean my nozzle?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:04 AM - jbigler1986: The outside of it. It also looks like I need to tighten it. How do I go about that
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:10 AM - Ben R: I use brasso...
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:10 AM - Ben R: no.. I don't know what you mean.. cleaning the black off? carefully with any scraping device
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:10 AM - Ben R: As for tightening... take it off and tighten it.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:10 AM - Mike Glass: there is a wrench at came with your robo for the top of the heat break, they you need to find a 6 mm wrench
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:10 AM - Ben R: think it was a 8mm?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:10 AM - Mike Glass: for the nozzle
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:11 AM - Ben R: ok... 6
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:11 AM - Ben R: oh yea... I don't use that nozzle
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:11 AM - Mike Glass: err 7 mm
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:12 AM - Mike Glass: Im using a v6 head now for my .8

    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:15 AM - Bill Monroe: that was about 30 seconds before I plugged it with my AR
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:15 AM - Bill Monroe: a female
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:16 AM - Bill Monroe: i got it's two kittens later in the day
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:17 AM - Mike Glass: when did you get snow?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:17 AM - Bill Monroe: bout what.. 3 weeks ago i'd say
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:18 AM - Bill Monroe: def.. your fan nozzle.. was that the XT PET?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:18 AM - Mike Glass: thats been awhile since the last time right?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:19 AM - Mike Glass: the 60's
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:19 AM - Bill Monroe: nono this is jousha tree.. we get decent snow maybe every 2-3 years
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:19 AM - Bill Monroe: in san diego is was the 60s, yes
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Mike Glass: what is the altitude there?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Bill Monroe: 2865
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Bill Monroe: msl
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:20 AM - Bill Monroe: the mountains to the south go up to 7K
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:22 AM - Bill Monroe: if I can get rid of the globs on my XT prints, they'll be the definition of perfection
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:22 AM - Mike Glass: I guess fairly close to where we are, we are at 4500
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:22 AM - Ben R: it was PETG from Esun
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:22 AM - Bill Monroe: hmmm
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:23 AM - Ben R: My googlefu must be weak.. what is xt pet
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:23 AM - Bill Monroe: from printedsolid.com
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:24 AM - Ben R: oh.. I got their.. pet.. messy az ship.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:24 AM - Ben R: more flexible coploymer though
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:24 AM - Mike Glass: I dont like my xp, I'd take 2 cheaper rolls of anything else.
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:24 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.printedsolid.com/?s=colorfabb+XT
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Mike Glass: not my xp my XT
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Mike Glass: hate that stuff
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Bill Monroe: i had fantastic results with the hex... it's perfect on the Chimea other than the globs, and I'm sure I can make adjustments to lose those
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:25 AM - Ben R: nm it wasn't printed solid.. it was that other place
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:26 AM - Ben R: hot and light for globs
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:26 AM - Bill Monroe: light?
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:26 AM - Mike Glass: It probably wouldnt be an issue if I had S3d though
    Mar 8, 2015 at 1:26 AM - Ben R: low extrusion
