May 6, 2015 9:58 AM - Mike Kelly: who wants to do a group buy?
May 6, 2015 9:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: hey maybe thats why the cores had to be swapped out
May 6, 2015 9:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: the sain smart are bipolar (or uni) and the stock are not?
May 6, 2015 9:59 AM - Mike Glass: I want the longer 330mm

May 6, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: are you planning on taking off you lid?
May 6, 2015 10:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: i've been happily printing topless for about a month now

May 6, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Glass: actually for the BAP.
May 6, 2015 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: well i mean i think they'd fit inside the enclosure, but you're not really gaining height since you're limited by the greg's wade
May 6, 2015 10:02 AM - jbigler1986: i'd do a group buy depending on the price
May 6, 2015 10:02 AM - jbigler1986: @stephen but they worked with the x wiring
May 6, 2015 10:02 AM - Stephen Capistron: ^ what do you need them for?
May 6, 2015 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i don't know why you'd buy them jb
May 6, 2015 10:03 AM - Mike Glass: its only $10 savings a set though.
May 6, 2015 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: also it's 98.84 per person shipped to the US
May 6, 2015 10:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: X could be different from the Z? i dunno just throwing stuff out there to see what sticks
May 6, 2015 10:03 AM - jbigler1986: for my next robo of course
May 6, 2015 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd wait on your next one till they come witht hem

May 6, 2015 10:04 AM - Mike Glass: wonder what the R2 is using?
May 6, 2015 10:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: Robo might be able to save a few bucks on an upgrade if they just ship the cores with the threaded rods integrated instead of the whole setup
May 6, 2015 10:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: R2 = unicorn
May 6, 2015 10:05 AM - jbigler1986: Nah I would only get another printer if it was "needed"
May 6, 2015 10:05 AM - Mike Glass: You would go broke fixing your printers JB
May 6, 2015 10:06 AM - jbigler1986: nah
May 6, 2015 10:08 AM - jbigler1986: wonder if we can find just the integraded rods online somewhere
May 6, 2015 10:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: probably have to contact the manufacturer and place a minimum order of a thousand
May 6, 2015 10:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: or more
May 6, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: easily
May 6, 2015 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: perfect. done. business expense

May 6, 2015 11:03 AM - TechSupportGo: I learn so much here. Is there another forum that you guys monitor to maybe soak up design ideas and 3d printer engineering concepts?
May 6, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: the reprap forum is pretty good but there's a lot of content on there so it can be overwhelming
May 6, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i also like the 3d printing group on google+
May 6, 2015 11:04 AM - TechSupportGo: do they provide instant feedback like this shoutbox?

May 6, 2015 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure
May 6, 2015 11:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: my bad idea for the day: Two (or three) delta printers that print outside their triangles by having one arm that is significantly longer than the others and changing the orientation of the other two. Have the printers arranged to share a build space for multiple material printing. Good luck with the firmware
May 6, 2015 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: sounds like a senior design project
May 6, 2015 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: This is one somebody else was on their BOM. http://www.amazon.com/Spindle-Contr...1427083794&sr=8-1&keywords=300w+spindle+motor

May 6, 2015 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: it just generated gcode
May 6, 2015 11:54 AM - toy: does the g-code need to be modified to work with repetier?
May 6, 2015 11:54 AM - Mike Glass: its very simple software, it will also use the uno if you use that for your controller.
May 6, 2015 11:54 AM - Mike Glass: No I can open with repetier without issues
May 6, 2015 11:54 AM - Mike Glass: I dont have uno so use repetier.

May 6, 2015 12:41 PM - jbigler1986: i would just let it go but once it gets to the head the fans might be hanging in the air and i don't want that
May 6, 2015 12:42 PM - jbigler1986: see if i can rig it to finish it when i get home
May 6, 2015 12:42 PM - jbigler1986: then reprint the dual fan holder

May 6, 2015 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: 2 hours to print the fan holder. looks like the robot will have to finish overnight. booo
May 6, 2015 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: what color should i print it in

May 6, 2015 1:32 PM - daniel871: Hotend fan for my E3D hotend came in dead. Thanks, Obabma.
May 6, 2015 1:32 PM - daniel871: Obama
May 6, 2015 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: other than my fans falling off. nope
May 6, 2015 1:32 PM - daniel871: It's been a bad day for fans.
May 6, 2015 1:33 PM - bamhm182: Man, apparently
May 6, 2015 1:33 PM - bamhm182: My fans are still good *knocks on wood*
May 6, 2015 1:33 PM - bamhm182: Got all the pieces of my rotating heart to print in red while I was out
May 6, 2015 1:33 PM - bamhm182: And they all actually finished! :O
May 6, 2015 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: good

May 6, 2015 1:39 PM - daniel871: Anybody have any experience with ProtoPasta's Stainless Steel PLA?
May 6, 2015 1:40 PM - Mike Kelly: i have no idea why the rep2x keeps jamming
May 6, 2015 1:40 PM - Mike Kelly: it's very frustrating
May 6, 2015 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: it's been doing that for a while.
May 6, 2015 1:41 PM - Mike Kelly: it was working well for a bit
May 6, 2015 1:42 PM - jbigler1986: put a hundred dollar bill on it and it will print fine
May 6, 2015 1:43 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 6, 2015 1:44 PM - Mike Glass: OH LMAO, JB that is funny
May 6, 2015 1:45 PM - Mike Glass: like two dogs on leases..
May 6, 2015 1:46 PM - jbigler1986: yeah. no fan doesn't seem to be affecting quality
May 6, 2015 1:47 PM - jbigler1986: it's the new way to print
May 6, 2015 1:47 PM - Mike Glass: you have enough parts shouldnt need it
May 6, 2015 1:48 PM - jbigler1986: lol. that i do
May 6, 2015 1:48 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah if you have enough cooling time you don't really need a fan per se
May 6, 2015 1:49 PM - Mike Glass: unless you have overhangs not an issue
May 6, 2015 1:49 PM - bamhm182: Got everything together and my heart finally works.
May 6, 2015 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: high five
May 6, 2015 1:50 PM - bamhm182: Some filament tends to rise, I think that would make a cooling fan useful in the cases where there aren't overhangs
May 6, 2015 1:51 PM - bamhm182: Now I just need print off a lot more Gyroids, and two trophys and I can get to work on my Cyclops Upgrade
May 6, 2015 1:51 PM - bamhm182: Need to knock all that out before my printer is disassembled and non-operational for who knows exactly how long
May 6, 2015 1:52 PM - bamhm182: Speaking of which, I missed the Fedex guy with my 3 KG of filament AGAIN. >_<
May 6, 2015 1:53 PM - Mike Glass: dont do it till it breaks
May 6, 2015 1:54 PM - bamhm182: Don't do what, the upgrade?
May 6, 2015 1:55 PM - Mike Glass: yea, then you have spare parts..lol
May 6, 2015 1:56 PM - bamhm182: I guess so, but then I won't have the "well, it was working before I did this" perspective
May 6, 2015 1:56 PM - jbigler1986: yeah you are gonna be messing with it for weeks/months
May 6, 2015 1:57 PM - bamhm182: That's why I'm planning on doing it in phases
May 6, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: start with single bowden
May 6, 2015 1:58 PM - Mike Glass: Thats why im building one, then I dont have to mess with one that works..heh
May 6, 2015 1:58 PM - bamhm182: If I can get single bowden extrusion working reliably (step 1) and swap in Mike's modular carriage (step 2) then at any time, I can swap back to the hex for a minute no problem
May 6, 2015 2:04 PM - Mike Kelly: nope nope nope nope nope: http://imgur.com/a/gNaOc

May 6, 2015 2:07 PM - bamhm182: Reminds me of The Satan Pit episode of Doctor Who
May 6, 2015 2:09 PM - Mike Glass: Hey look its Bill's birthplace
May 6, 2015 2:10 PM - bamhm182: haha
May 6, 2015 2:11 PM - Mike Kelly: heyo
May 6, 2015 2:12 PM - Mike Glass: I need to find some endmills bits to cut out some mdf
May 6, 2015 2:17 PM - Mike Glass: wish I could adapt my carvewright bits
May 6, 2015 2:21 PM - jbigler1986: Carvewright? You gotta hand carved that stuff.
May 6, 2015 2:23 PM - jbigler1986: With those Japanese chisels
May 6, 2015 2:24 PM - Mike Glass: I could have those made for way less then that
May 6, 2015 2:34 PM - jbigler1986: Could have lots made for that price I'm sure
May 6, 2015 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: bah the rep2x nozzle is completely jammed
May 6, 2015 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i need that precise drill bit right about now
May 6, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Glass: heat it up to 300
May 6, 2015 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: it won't let me go that high, it maxes out at 280
May 6, 2015 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: and even that was too high for it to get to
May 6, 2015 2:59 PM - toy: whats the best drive gear http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3197 ??? i need to order some?
May 6, 2015 2:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: heat gun?
May 6, 2015 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: best? or best for the price?
May 6, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Kelly: the tatsu v2 is very highly reviewed

May 6, 2015 3:04 PM - Mike Kelly: i think we have a heat gun somewhere, i'll ask
May 6, 2015 3:05 PM - bamhm182: I bought some of the MK7s after reading very good reviews about them
May 6, 2015 3:06 PM - bamhm182: http://www.tridprinting.com/Mechanical-Parts/#3D-Printer-Hobbed-Drive-Gear
May 6, 2015 3:06 PM - bamhm182: I haven't tested them out yet though
May 6, 2015 3:06 PM - Mike Kelly: i bought a pair from ultibots
May 6, 2015 3:06 PM - bamhm182: Of the MK7s?
May 6, 2015 3:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i think they were the mk7
May 6, 2015 3:07 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
May 6, 2015 3:07 PM - toy: i guess i will try those also... what are you using right now mk?
May 6, 2015 3:08 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.ultibots.com/drive-gear-1-75mm-filament/
May 6, 2015 3:10 PM - bamhm182: What are your thoughts on those, MK?
May 6, 2015 3:10 PM - jbigler1986: Why does parts look like crap where support is in Cura?
May 6, 2015 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: it's been good so far
May 6, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i need more time with them for a solid opinion
May 6, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i really just want to upgrade to the bondtech but it's taking a while and is probably gonna be uber expensive
May 6, 2015 3:14 PM - Stephen Capistron: what ever happened with the dude selling them out of texas?
May 6, 2015 3:14 PM - toy: 116$ for the bondtech
May 6, 2015 3:15 PM - Mike Kelly: the betas?
May 6, 2015 3:15 PM - toy: wait until i come out with my all metal extruders =)
May 6, 2015 3:15 PM - Mike Kelly: is it gonna be a dual pinch
May 6, 2015 3:16 PM - toy: 20ish mark...
May 6, 2015 3:16 PM - Stephen Capistron: yeah. was he bootlegging or what?
May 6, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986:
May 6, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: That's where support was. Looks like poop
May 6, 2015 3:18 PM - toy: mk they will be based loosely on those

 

May 6, 2015 3:18 PM - jbigler1986: @toy You haven't made them yet
May 6, 2015 3:18 PM - toy: expandable up to 4 extruders...
May 6, 2015 3:18 PM - toy: not yet... soon
May 6, 2015 3:19 PM - toy: im almost done with the machining, then i will move onto the extruders
May 6, 2015 3:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i don't care for that design
May 6, 2015 3:19 PM - toy: what dont u like
May 6, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: it's not dual pinch
May 6, 2015 3:21 PM - toy: show me an example of a dual pinch
May 6, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: bondtech v2
May 6, 2015 3:22 PM - toy: meaning it has 2 mk7's vs 1 mk7 and bearing?
May 6, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: sorta, it's more sophisticated than tht
May 6, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Ballscrew-and-shaft-coupler/920371_253896180.html for anyone interested in ball screws
May 6, 2015 3:24 PM - toy: whats more sophisticated then that?
May 6, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/photos/+MartinBondéus-Bondtech/albums/6109855995253316081
May 6, 2015 3:27 PM - toy: how do u adjust the tension on the bondtechs?
May 6, 2015 3:28 PM - toy: set screw?
May 6, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Kelly: as far as i know you don't, it's engineered to grip the filament, though he did add that set screw which i'm not sure what does
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - toy: my all metal extruders will be less than half that price of 116$
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah but it won't be dual pinch
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - toy: lol
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Kelly: and i need that grip
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Kelly: the cyclops requires more torque
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - toy: i wll make then dual pinch
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - toy: its too ez
May 6, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Kelly: i hope you have a cnc
May 6, 2015 3:30 PM - toy: the first batch will be by hand
May 6, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Kelly: good luck doing precision gears by hand
May 6, 2015 3:30 PM - toy: im not milling the gear
May 6, 2015 3:31 PM - toy: i will buy those
May 6, 2015 3:32 PM - toy: i migh be able to make gears eventaully witha 4th axis
May 6, 2015 3:32 PM - Stephen Capistron: i could be wrong here, but all it has are a MK7 on the sun gear and planet gear of a planetary setup
May 6, 2015 3:33 PM - toy: but the it looks like the mk7's are independent of each other
May 6, 2015 3:33 PM - toy: looks like 1 is on the shaft and other is "floating" off to the side
May 6, 2015 3:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: the floating one is supposed to be driven
May 6, 2015 3:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: in addition to the center one
May 6, 2015 3:35 PM - toy: i only see 2 mk7's
May 6, 2015 3:35 PM - toy: are u sure
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - Stephen Capistron: scratch that
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - Stephen Capistron: i'm wrong
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - toy: i dont see any gearing to indicate both are driven gears
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - Stephen Capistron: i am not sure how they are driving the two wheels
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - toy: its only 1 driven and 1 floating
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - toy: as far as i can tell
May 6, 2015 3:36 PM - Mike Kelly: no
May 6, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Kelly: 1 is powered by the drive shaft which is geared to the second hobbed pulley
May 6, 2015 3:37 PM - bamhm182: Got my filament
May 6, 2015 3:37 PM - bamhm182:
May 6, 2015 3:37 PM - bamhm182: Also, I think I need more
May 6, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Kelly: who's that from
May 6, 2015 3:38 PM - toy: mk , u have any proof to back up that claim?
May 6, 2015 3:38 PM - jbigler1986: Alright more bondic. Printing the dual fan now
May 6, 2015 3:39 PM - toy: theirs alot of issues that need to be resolved to drive 2 gears off 1 shaft
May 6, 2015 3:39 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah that's why he's done like 20 generations of design
May 6, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Kelly:
May 6, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Kelly:
May 6, 2015 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: here's a beta model:
May 6, 2015 3:44 PM - toy: 1 word.... BACKLASH
May 6, 2015 3:44 PM - bamhm182: How much are those bondtechs? $116?
May 6, 2015 3:44 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm guessing they're gonna retail at 150
May 6, 2015 3:44 PM - bamhm182: I'll let you bite the bullet on that one before I go drop $300 on extruders, haha
May 6, 2015 3:44 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm hoping i can work out a deal with him
May 6, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: i really don't want to pay that much
May 6, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: but i'm stuck on how to get rid of slippage
May 6, 2015 3:45 PM - bamhm182: What is slippage? When the extruder can't push the filament anymore?
May 6, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah and it pops back
May 6, 2015 3:46 PM - bamhm182: Okay, right
May 6, 2015 3:46 PM - toy: how much would u pay for an all metal dual drive extruder?
May 6, 2015 3:46 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd pay like $50 for the metal bits
May 6, 2015 3:46 PM - bamhm182: And just print the rest yourself?
May 6, 2015 3:46 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah and i already have 2 geared steppers
May 6, 2015 3:47 PM - bamhm182: Gotcha
May 6, 2015 3:48 PM - bamhm182: I probably should have bought geared steppers, it sounds like I'm going to need them, if not more
May 6, 2015 3:48 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm not entirely convinced yet, hard to say
May 6, 2015 3:49 PM - jbigler1986: Ah. The wonderful world of bowden
May 6, 2015 3:49 PM - Mike Kelly: i think the cyclops just needs more back pressure
May 6, 2015 3:49 PM - toy: im not sure if i like the dual pinch.... all your doing is splitting the torque.... between to shafts
May 6, 2015 3:50 PM - toy: in the end u still have the same amount of torque
May 6, 2015 3:50 PM - Mike Kelly: the results speak for themself
May 6, 2015 3:50 PM - Mike Kelly: if you can't apply the torque then it's useless
May 6, 2015 3:50 PM - Mike Kelly: spinning the tires per se
May 6, 2015 3:50 PM - toy: just use a floating mk7 ( chains on your tires)
May 6, 2015 3:51 PM - Stephen Capistron: 2 wheel drive vs 1 wheel drive. think of it like a locking differential
May 6, 2015 3:51 PM - Mike Kelly: still not really the same idea
May 6, 2015 3:51 PM - Mike Kelly: if you don't like it that's fine, but i'm intrigued by the idea and think it might be the solution to my issues
May 6, 2015 3:52 PM - toy: its interesting im just not sure if its a gimmick
May 6, 2015 3:52 PM - jbigler1986: Greg's Wade for everyone
May 6, 2015 3:52 PM - toy: just tighten the tension to get full use of the torque?
May 6, 2015 3:53 PM - Mike Kelly: doesn't work
May 6, 2015 3:53 PM - Mike Kelly: then you pinch the filament
May 6, 2015 3:53 PM - Mike Kelly: trust me man, i've tried everything
May 6, 2015 3:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i just can't get enough torque
May 6, 2015 3:54 PM - bamhm182: So what you need is more bite, not more torque?
May 6, 2015 3:54 PM - Mike Kelly: correct
May 6, 2015 3:54 PM - Mike Kelly: that's a better way to put it
May 6, 2015 3:54 PM - bamhm182: So why not just increase the amount of force on the opposite side of the drive gear?
May 6, 2015 3:55 PM - bamhm182: Oh, whoops
May 6, 2015 3:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: go dual extruder, two greg's wade in series
May 6, 2015 3:56 PM - bamhm182: Would that work?
May 6, 2015 3:56 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah
May 6, 2015 3:56 PM - jbigler1986: Greg's is just large

 

May 6, 2015 3:56 PM - bamhm182: Wait, Mike, how do you have your current setup? It's already dual extruders, right?
May 6, 2015 3:57 PM - bamhm182: Nevermind, it would have to be
May 6, 2015 3:57 PM - jbigler1986: That's why most people don't use it
May 6, 2015 3:57 PM - bamhm182: Huh... Large is no issue for me...
May 6, 2015 3:57 PM - bamhm182: I mean, in theory, should it work as well as the Direct Drive?
May 6, 2015 3:57 PM - jbigler1986: Well there you go then. Just print 2 greg's Wade
May 6, 2015 3:58 PM - Stephen Capistron: good luck fitting it on the carriage
May 6, 2015 3:58 PM - bamhm182: or are you still running into all the issues that come with the bowden tubing?
May 6, 2015 3:58 PM - bamhm182: Not my plan
May 6, 2015 3:58 PM - bamhm182:
May 6, 2015 3:58 PM - jbigler1986: He is going bowden Stephen
May 6, 2015 3:59 PM - bamhm182: That is my current plan, but if two gregs would do a better job, I can easily scale up the size I'm using on my pegboard and do that
May 6, 2015 3:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: could you increase the contact patch on the single drive gear by having the filament enter and exit at a slight angle?
May 6, 2015 3:59 PM - bamhm182: I mean, I'm basically dedicating an entire 16"x16" pegboard to the printer no matter what I do
May 6, 2015 4:00 PM - bamhm182:
May 6, 2015 4:00 PM - bamhm182: I definitely have room to spare
May 6, 2015 4:03 PM - jbigler1986: I like the looks of greg's Wade. I need to print one so it's not so heavy
May 6, 2015 4:05 PM - bamhm182: So why exactly is greg's wade better? I feel like the answer is above my head and has something to do with the gears, am I right?
May 6, 2015 4:07 PM - Mike Kelly: Cheap way of doing geared extrusion
May 6, 2015 4:13 PM - jbigler1986: Print in Bronze fill. That would look pretty slick
May 6, 2015 4:14 PM - bamhm182: By the way, MK, speaking of all these upgrades, how far along on that new carriage design are you?
May 6, 2015 4:17 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm about to install it
May 6, 2015 4:18 PM - bamhm182: Awesome, let us know how that goes.
May 6, 2015 4:19 PM - Mike Glass: Wait, hold the boat.
May 6, 2015 4:21 PM - Mike Kelly: no boats for you
May 6, 2015 4:22 PM - Mike Glass: ah it sank nv
May 6, 2015 4:22 PM - Mike Kelly: bam: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x6b27v5ujmmjcdk/Cyclops Mod Plate V2.STL?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/5oaadvqj9no0gmi/Belt binder Mod v2.STL?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/miq1aqacae2d3ts/Main Carriage v2.1.STL?dl=0
May 6, 2015 4:23 PM - jbigler1986: Bam. Thanks MK. I will install that later
May 6, 2015 4:25 PM - bamhm182: Thanks, MK!
May 6, 2015 4:25 PM - Mike Kelly: sure
May 6, 2015 4:26 PM - jbigler1986: Just messing
May 6, 2015 4:26 PM - bamhm182: Was the original belt binder slipping because it didn't have enough teeth?
May 6, 2015 4:27 PM - bamhm182: Do you by chance have a fan shroud that fits on a 40mmx10mm fan with your new carriage?
May 6, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Kelly: not really i was just trying a new design
May 6, 2015 4:30 PM - Mike Kelly: hope it works :-X
May 6, 2015 4:30 PM - Mike Kelly: i haven't done a fan shroud yet
May 6, 2015 4:31 PM - bamhm182: Alright, fair enough
May 6, 2015 4:31 PM - jbigler1986: Fans are surviving
May 6, 2015 4:31 PM - bamhm182: For now...
May 6, 2015 4:32 PM - Mike Glass: My back one is melted almost down to the part..lol
May 6, 2015 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: lol you should have just rotated your hex
May 6, 2015 4:32 PM - Mike Glass: It still wont fit
May 6, 2015 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm sure you could find a way
May 6, 2015 4:33 PM - Mike Glass: its had 12hours of print time so it may be fine
May 6, 2015 4:33 PM - Mike Glass: if not I will ad some support in the inside to keep it from sagging
May 6, 2015 4:38 PM - Droid: any of you print with carbon fiber?
May 6, 2015 4:40 PM - bamhm182: On our robo? Haha
May 6, 2015 4:43 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah I rotated mine for fans to fit bettwr
May 6, 2015 4:43 PM - jbigler1986: Better
May 6, 2015 4:45 PM - Droid: a robo with e3d v6 cant print carbon fiber filament?
May 6, 2015 4:46 PM - bamhm182: Idk, maybe. I always thought that was something only really expensive printers did
May 6, 2015 4:47 PM - Bill Monroe: I tried a sample of it, it worked OK
May 6, 2015 4:48 PM - Stephen Capistron: isn't it more of a novelty filament along the lines of bronze and copper fill?
May 6, 2015 4:49 PM - Droid: what do you mean by OK? was it OK? or just ok?
May 6, 2015 4:49 PM - Bill Monroe: i think it is, but bronze and wood fills have a place.. i think the carbon isnt really what people want it to be though
May 6, 2015 4:49 PM - Bill Monroe: it printed fine, but the result isnt exactly what you see them making car hoods for rice rocket drifters out of
May 6, 2015 4:50 PM - Bill Monroe: a lot of carbon, lettle fiber.. in fact, I couldnt see any evidence of fiber at all
May 6, 2015 4:50 PM - Droid: oh of course not thats a completely different process, almost like fiberglass sheets
May 6, 2015 4:51 PM - Stephen Capistron: they were just really really short. aspect ratio of 1:1.1
May 6, 2015 4:51 PM - Bill Monroe: ahh.. so we can call it.. carbon glitter?
May 6, 2015 4:51 PM - jbigler1986: Are you still at work? You have been pretty active tonight
May 6, 2015 4:52 PM - Bill Monroe: who me?
May 6, 2015 4:52 PM - Droid: i was wondering it it comes out similar to stuff like gun accessories like grips and whatnot
May 6, 2015 4:52 PM - jbigler1986: SC
May 6, 2015 4:52 PM - Stephen Capistron: i left work early today
May 6, 2015 4:52 PM - jbigler1986: Fair enough
May 6, 2015 4:53 PM - Stephen Capistron: and the wife is still at work so i've been just taking care of a bunch of random things
May 6, 2015 4:53 PM - Bill Monroe: well, it's black.. small parts like that you wont notice a weight savings.. it still flex like PLA..
May 6, 2015 4:53 PM - Bill Monroe: I wont be buying any.
May 6, 2015 4:53 PM - jbigler1986: Don't lie. You know you have a few spools of it
May 6, 2015 4:53 PM - Droid: flex like pla but is it stronger or am i better off with a nylon filament
May 6, 2015 4:54 PM - Stephen Capistron: i got a soccer game at 11 tonight so i'll be around for a while
May 6, 2015 4:54 PM - Bill Monroe: yup.. and I'll sell it to you for only twice what I paid for it
May 6, 2015 4:54 PM - Stephen Capistron: taulman 910 is all the rage right now
May 6, 2015 4:54 PM - jbigler1986: I have a sample of that. Haven't printed with it yet
May 6, 2015 4:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: Mark sounds super happy with it
May 6, 2015 4:55 PM - Bill Monroe: i didnt do a full destructive test series and I dont knwo your application so, get a sample and try it
May 6, 2015 4:55 PM - jbigler1986: @Bill twice? How generous of you
May 6, 2015 4:55 PM - Bill Monroe: that's how I roll
May 6, 2015 4:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: he's come down a lot tried to sell it to me for triple
May 6, 2015 4:56 PM - Bill Monroe: just wait and see what happens when I buy up all the E3D nozzles
May 6, 2015 4:56 PM - jbigler1986: I have enough
May 6, 2015 4:57 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'll start drilling out pointed set screws to make my own
May 6, 2015 4:57 PM - Bill Monroe: shucks.. now I gotta buy set screws
May 6, 2015 4:57 PM - Bill Monroe: wait.. I'll just buy all the drills
May 6, 2015 4:58 PM - jbigler1986: I made a few with foil and muffler glue
May 6, 2015 4:58 PM - Droid: bill, I ask cause this is the application http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:739948
May 6, 2015 4:58 PM - jbigler1986: That's how I get such good quality prints
May 6, 2015 4:59 PM - jbigler1986: That looks so uncomfortable
May 6, 2015 4:59 PM - Bill Monroe: it doess huh?
May 6, 2015 5:00 PM - Bill Monroe: where are you in CA?
May 6, 2015 5:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: nothing a little semiflex counldn't fix
May 6, 2015 5:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: or plasti-dip
May 6, 2015 5:00 PM - Droid: San Diego
May 6, 2015 5:01 PM - Bill Monroe: really.
May 6, 2015 5:01 PM - Droid: well, Oceanside to be exact
May 6, 2015 5:01 PM - Bill Monroe: marine?
May 6, 2015 5:01 PM - Droid: Nope, born and raised here
May 6, 2015 5:02 PM - Bill Monroe: in oside?
May 6, 2015 5:02 PM - Droid: yup

 

May 6, 2015 5:02 PM - Bill Monroe: <-- Scripps Ranch
May 6, 2015 5:02 PM - Bill Monroe: but when I was born, it was still a ranch
May 6, 2015 5:02 PM - Droid: with wagons?
May 6, 2015 5:03 PM - Bill Monroe: and horses!
May 6, 2015 5:03 PM - Bill Monroe: well, the horses are still there
May 6, 2015 5:03 PM - Bill Monroe: i was actually born at the hopital where el cajon blvd and park ave meet\
May 6, 2015 5:04 PM - Bill Monroe: oside was tomato fields in those days
May 6, 2015 5:04 PM - Droid: we still have some out towards Bonsall
May 6, 2015 5:05 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. ut al those nifty fields by the ocean are deserted
May 6, 2015 5:05 PM - Bill Monroe: pity
May 6, 2015 5:07 PM - Bill Monroe: anyway, none of my ARs are "CA legal"
May 6, 2015 5:07 PM - Bill Monroe: and that just looks horrible to me
May 6, 2015 5:08 PM - Bill Monroe: put a target barrel and bullet button on it and call it a weapon
May 6, 2015 5:09 PM - Droid: yeah I have a few buddies on another forum that were asking me about printing up some, but I think I might just go with colorfab xt
May 6, 2015 5:09 PM - Bill Monroe: xt rocks
May 6, 2015 5:30 PM - jbigler1986: u rock bill
May 6, 2015 5:35 PM - Droid: hey printed solid got any coupons
May 6, 2015 5:40 PM - Mike Kelly: alright installed the new carriage, now the fun part begins.... wiring....
May 6, 2015 5:41 PM - bamhm182: Good luck, Mike. I'm waking up at 4 AM to start this 12 hour print and take a PT test, so I'm off to bed. Let us know how it goes
May 6, 2015 5:42 PM - Mike Kelly: night
May 6, 2015 6:04 PM - Mike Glass: oh heat up that gun
May 6, 2015 6:39 PM - Mike Kelly: mike i'm looking at your picture and i don't understand your claim about the wiring being too short
May 6, 2015 6:51 PM - Mike Glass: not too short
May 6, 2015 6:53 PM - Mike Glass: think the heater wire would be to close and bend it too much
May 6, 2015 6:53 PM - Mike Kelly: uh ok
May 6, 2015 6:54 PM - Mike Glass: when I swap nozzles I will give it a go though
May 6, 2015 6:54 PM - Mike Kelly: cool
May 6, 2015 6:54 PM - Mike Glass: they are awesome btw
May 6, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Kelly: glad i could help
May 6, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Kelly: do they have nostrils?
May 6, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Kelly: kinda looked like it
May 6, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Glass: haha yea kinda cute
May 6, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Glass: I thought it was the slicer but tried them all
May 6, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Kelly: maybe i can increase the wall thickness to prevent that
May 6, 2015 6:56 PM - Mike Glass: such a small hole, and they look like they belong imo
May 6, 2015 6:59 PM - Mike Glass: Im really happy with the quality this has been producing, only complaint is the horrible vibration noise from the threaded rods against the carrier
May 6, 2015 7:00 PM - Mike Glass: oh and the extruder clicking noise,
May 6, 2015 7:02 PM - Mike Kelly: is the threaded rod hitting something?
May 6, 2015 7:03 PM - Mike Glass: na just vibrates in the carrier hole, If I stuff something in there its so quiet.
May 6, 2015 7:05 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm interesting
May 6, 2015 7:05 PM - Mike Glass: maybe when it got put back together the smooth rods are not pushed all the way in on the carrier. x axis
May 6, 2015 7:05 PM - Mike Glass: or my rods I cut are maybe a bit longer
May 6, 2015 7:06 PM - Mike Glass: but even from day one it has done it
May 6, 2015 7:07 PM - Mike Kelly: that's strange
May 6, 2015 7:07 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd need to hear it i guess
May 6, 2015 7:08 PM - jbigler1986: Back. Got the fan holder reprinted
May 6, 2015 7:09 PM - jbigler1986: Robot print take 3
May 6, 2015 7:10 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
May 6, 2015 7:11 PM - jbigler1986: Why in Cura where there is support it looks horrible
May 6, 2015 7:11 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe that was due to the fan issue though. Hmmm
May 6, 2015 7:11 PM - Mike Kelly: try increasing the density maybe
May 6, 2015 7:14 PM - jbigler1986: Did you get the boot clean?
May 6, 2015 7:17 PM - Mike Kelly: nope been working on robostein
May 6, 2015 7:19 PM - jbigler1986: Does that thing ever print. Lol
May 6, 2015 7:21 PM - Mike Kelly: hasn't in a bit....
May 6, 2015 7:22 PM - Mike Kelly: i hope this wiring fixes the annoying nature
May 6, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Kelly: the joys of having 4 printers, 3 of them are broken >_<
May 6, 2015 7:26 PM - jbigler1986: Which is working
May 6, 2015 7:26 PM - TechSupportGo: hello
May 6, 2015 7:31 PM - Mike Kelly: hi
May 6, 2015 7:31 PM - Mike Kelly: rep2
May 6, 2015 7:32 PM - jbigler1986: Hi
May 6, 2015 7:33 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah that boot sucks when you have a leak.
May 6, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Glass: q-tip soaked in alcohol makes for a quick clean up
May 6, 2015 7:55 PM - Mike Glass: The BAP Frame. http://imgur.com/tt2wVhU
May 6, 2015 8:02 PM - jbigler1986: http://m.fancy.com/things/254974920524567073/Wooden-Deck-of-Cards these are awesome
May 6, 2015 8:03 PM - Mike Glass: I want to get my laser done so I can do those.
May 6, 2015 8:08 PM - jbigler1986: Would love to see that
May 6, 2015 8:11 PM - Mike Glass: parts should be here friday.
May 6, 2015 8:55 PM - Mike Kelly: Almost finished. Need to print a part so I'm calling it a night
May 6, 2015 8:57 PM - Mike Glass: night

 

May 6, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/E2d4m3p.jpg Not much to look at. I think I'm gonna design something to hold the clip
May 7, 2015 at 4:27 AM - bamhm182: Man, that makes me want to build a CNC even more now! $200 for some wooden cards?
May 7, 2015 at 4:35 AM - bamhm182: Doesn't look bad, MK. It does seem like you could do something to make the cables look a bit cleaner though
May 7, 2015 at 4:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: how was PT test?
May 7, 2015 at 4:51 AM - bamhm182: Pretty good
May 7, 2015 at 4:51 AM - bamhm182: Worst I've had, but I still got "excellent" so it's all good
May 7, 2015 at 4:52 AM - bamhm182: Got 60 situps, 65 pushups, and an 11:52 run time. Situps were maxed, pushups were 2 away from maxed (damn!), run time was very far from maxed
May 7, 2015 at 4:53 AM - bamhm182: Still though, considering I've run maybe 5 times total since February, I'd say it's good enough
May 7, 2015 at 4:56 AM - bamhm182: Best part is that now I'm taken off self-probation
May 7, 2015 at 4:56 AM - bamhm182: Said I wasn't going to drink until I tested for promotion about two months ago and stuck to it
May 7, 2015 at 4:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: a pilot friend of my brother's approaches PT the same way
May 7, 2015 at 4:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: Destroy the push-ups and sit-ups and "walk" through the run
May 7, 2015 at 4:58 AM - bamhm182: Haha, it works
May 7, 2015 at 4:58 AM - jbigler1986: morning
May 7, 2015 at 4:58 AM - bamhm182: It sucks that the run is worth so much though
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 AM - bamhm182: 20 points for having a waist under 35" or so, 10 for 67 pushups, 10 for 58 situps, then 60 for a 9:12 mile and a half
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 AM - bamhm182: Morning, jb
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 AM - jbigler1986: I had to take pt test at 6,000 feet above sea level
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: all so you can do IT type work
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 AM - jbigler1986: Runs were brutal
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 AM - bamhm182: Right? What the hell? Haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:00 AM - bamhm182: that's about the altitude in Colorado, and I can vouch first hand that it SUCKS to run there, haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:01 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. Fort Carson
May 7, 2015 at 5:01 AM - bamhm182: On the plus side though, the Air Force gives you bonus points for running at a high altitude if I recall. I've always been on the coast, so I don't know how much it helps. Also don't know how other branches do it
May 7, 2015 at 5:02 AM - jbigler1986: Also doesn't help when your platoon sgt is a fucking ranger and marathon runner
May 7, 2015 at 5:02 AM - bamhm182: I have to print out two going away trophy things for people in my squadron. S3D says they're going to take around 18 hours each... Ugh...
May 7, 2015 at 5:03 AM - bamhm182: On the plus side, people at work know nothing about 3D printers, so I can turn it up to like 200% and they won't notice any blemishes
May 7, 2015 at 5:03 AM - jbigler1986: good test for your printer
May 7, 2015 at 5:03 AM - bamhm182: Yeeeeeah, I imagine that would suck
May 7, 2015 at 5:04 AM - bamhm182: "Come on! I can run 100 miles at a 8 minute pace, why can't you!?!?"
May 7, 2015 at 5:04 AM - bamhm182: Yeah it is. If it can make it through two of these, I'll have a solid baseline for my Cyclops upgrade
May 7, 2015 at 5:05 AM - bamhm182: Hardest part is remembering to toss the nut in
May 7, 2015 at 5:06 AM - bamhm182: The hardest part is remembering to toss the nut in at the right time. I've got it set up so it'll print maybe 25-50 layers, then I toss in a nut on the top half and let it finish
May 7, 2015 at 5:08 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i think the pause gcode for s3d is M0
May 7, 2015 at 5:08 AM - bamhm182: It would be a good idea to set that up
May 7, 2015 at 5:09 AM - jbigler1986: just find what layer number you need to pause it at
May 7, 2015 at 5:09 AM - bamhm182: What I would LOVE to be able to do is to have it home, level, act like it is laying the skirt without extruding, then home and pause, then print
May 7, 2015 at 5:09 AM - bamhm182: I'm terrible at figuring out exactly where I need to glue
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 AM - bamhm182: With this print now, I've missed a corner of the bottom part, so it's starting to come up, probably going to have to redo the bottom part
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 AM - bamhm182: I emailed S3D support, but they didn't really have much of a solution for that
May 7, 2015 at 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: that's why i use hairspray
May 7, 2015 at 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: just spray the whole bed
May 7, 2015 at 5:11 AM - bamhm182: Maybe I'll set up a script so I can punch in the coordinates of the corners and it'll spit out the gcode
May 7, 2015 at 5:12 AM - bamhm182: See, the main thing I don't like about hairspray is that I feel like it'll get all over
May 7, 2015 at 5:12 AM - bamhm182: I like glue sticks because it's pretty hard to get where you don't want it
May 7, 2015 at 5:12 AM - jbigler1986: hasn't caused any issues
May 7, 2015 at 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: just lube up the rods every once in a while (which should be done anyways)
May 7, 2015 at 5:13 AM - bamhm182: I was thinking about modeling something that would cover the entire build area and attach to a hairspray can, then you just attach the can to it and press down and it contains it and spreads it
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 AM - bamhm182:
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 AM - jbigler1986: a sheet of paper works just fine
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 AM - bamhm182: Kind of like one of those, but upside down and with a hole/spreader in the top
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 AM - jbigler1986: yeah that's a bit overkill
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:15 AM - bamhm182: Alright, since everyone suggest hair spray, I'll give it a go. What's a good brand?
May 7, 2015 at 5:15 AM - jbigler1986: auquanet
May 7, 2015 at 5:15 AM - jbigler1986: it's like $3 for a big can. i have used mine for like 3 months and it still has some left in it
May 7, 2015 at 5:16 AM - jbigler1986: it's readily available at stores like cvs, kroger, walgreens.....
May 7, 2015 at 5:16 AM - bamhm182: Alright, I'll make a note to pick some of that up next time I go to the store
May 7, 2015 at 5:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: I use a box for that
May 7, 2015 at 5:17 AM - jbigler1986: it leaves a nice smooth shiny coat on the part too
May 7, 2015 at 5:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: just cut one side up so that i can spray into the box
May 7, 2015 at 5:19 AM - jbigler1986: i need to lube my rods. robot doesn't look the best. felt the rods and they are freaking dry.
May 7, 2015 at 5:19 AM - jbigler1986: should have done it after that 67 hour print
May 7, 2015 at 5:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: Cura has a "pause at height plugin pre loaded
May 7, 2015 at 5:19 AM - bamhm182: Man, after not drinking for two months, I'm still a heavyweight. I was hoping it'd be cheaper to get me drunk, haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:19 AM - bamhm182: I bought some silicone lube a while back, I need to find that again
May 7, 2015 at 5:20 AM - jbigler1986: i use triflow
May 7, 2015 at 5:21 AM - jbigler1986: @stephen is that plugin any good? MK said he couldn't get any to work
May 7, 2015 at 5:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: the silicone lube that you would use on breaks is good stuff. Has to be the silicone and not petroleum based one though
May 7, 2015 at 5:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: I've used the tweak at Z to print little towers to see what changing my extrusion factor is like
May 7, 2015 at 5:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: i have not tried the pause one. Haven't had the need to drop a part into another part yet
May 7, 2015 at 5:23 AM - bamhm182: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XBH9HI
May 7, 2015 at 5:23 AM - jbigler1986: could be used to change colors too
May 7, 2015 at 5:23 AM - bamhm182: That's the stuff I've got somewhere around here
May 7, 2015 at 5:26 AM - jbigler1986: i don't like grease. it turns black because it collecs dirt
May 7, 2015 at 5:30 AM - bamhm182: Ugh... My fan keeps getting knocked off
May 7, 2015 at 5:31 AM - bamhm182: It's got to be catching on something, but I don't know what since it's good height above the bottom
May 7, 2015 at 5:34 AM - jbigler1986: let the fan madness continue
May 7, 2015 at 5:35 AM - daniel871: Something out there really hates fans this week.
May 7, 2015 at 5:35 AM - daniel871: New fan should be here for my hotend this evening.
May 7, 2015 at 5:36 AM - bamhm182: haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:36 AM - daniel871: Also ordered some of that grease bamhm linked to with the reward points I got for buying the Robo on Amazon.
May 7, 2015 at 5:37 AM - jbigler1986: where are you located daniel?
May 7, 2015 at 5:37 AM - daniel871: Just put a little of that lubricant on the rods and run the axis back and forth to spread it out?
May 7, 2015 at 5:37 AM - bamhm182: I don't know if it's the best, seems to work by my standards though
May 7, 2015 at 5:37 AM - daniel871: I'm in Georgia, near the Alabama line.
May 7, 2015 at 5:38 AM - daniel871: If I tossed a rock in a general westerly direction I'd anger the banjo players.
May 7, 2015 at 5:38 AM - bamhm182: haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:38 AM - jbigler1986: i put it on a rag and wrap it around the rods and spread it on
May 7, 2015 at 5:39 AM - daniel871: about how long does the lube last if you do a long continuous print?
May 7, 2015 at 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: it should last a few weeks without needing to redo it
May 7, 2015 at 5:40 AM - daniel871: I've got something I'm going to print in that Stainless filament that Simplify 3D thinks will take 36 hours at the temps/speeds recommended by Protopasta.
May 7, 2015 at 5:41 AM - jbigler1986: i like to lube about every week and a half to 2 weeks just to be safe
May 7, 2015 at 5:41 AM - daniel871: (so obviously going to save the gcode to an SD card and load with the LCD controller.
May 7, 2015 at 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: have you tested a long print before?
May 7, 2015 at 5:46 AM - daniel871: Yeah. That Tower of Pi took forever.
May 7, 2015 at 5:46 AM - JeffTheMess: that reminds me i have to lube up my printer
May 7, 2015 at 5:46 AM - daniel871: In T-glase.
May 7, 2015 at 5:46 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning robonauts
May 7, 2015 at 5:47 AM - jbigler1986: morning

 

May 7, 2015 at 5:47 AM - jbigler1986: yeah mine is dry as a bone right now
May 7, 2015 at 5:47 AM - daniel871: Second cup of coffee time.
May 7, 2015 at 5:48 AM - daniel871: Mine currently has whatever was put on it at assembly, so probably dry as hell.
May 7, 2015 at 5:48 AM - daniel871: Also probably why it sounded like an NES-era synth when printing.
May 7, 2015 at 5:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: people have played music with their printers
May 7, 2015 at 5:49 AM - Stephen Capistron:
May 7, 2015 at 5:50 AM - bamhm182: I've seen that, and I've wanted to do it, but never got around to it, yet.
May 7, 2015 at 5:52 AM - daniel871: Had a cousin say the Tower of Pi sounded like boss fight music from a Donkey Kong game. Never found out which one he was talking about though.
May 7, 2015 at 5:53 AM - daniel871: When the retraction madness is going on.
May 7, 2015 at 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: i let mine go overnight so not sure what is sounded like
May 7, 2015 at 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: how did yours turn out
May 7, 2015 at 5:54 AM - daniel871: Ugly as hell because it was before I got some better T-glase print temps/speed recommendations here.
May 7, 2015 at 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: that sucks. you need a well tuned printer for it. it's not an easy print
May 7, 2015 at 5:54 AM - daniel871: I plan to do it again with the E3D hot end and .8 nozzle after I get my hotend fan working and do some calibration prints to make sure everything is okay.
May 7, 2015 at 5:55 AM - daniel871: You could tell what it was, there were just a lot of stringy t-glase bits hanging off in random places and it was done with the MatterControl slicer, which probably isn't the best one for it.
May 7, 2015 at 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: Professors teaching programming at the University level and really masochists that have found a way to practice their deviant behavior under the guise of education
May 7, 2015 at 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: .8 nozzle and the tower of pi. good luck on that
May 7, 2015 at 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: well good morning to you too bill
May 7, 2015 at 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
May 7, 2015 at 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: I was just venting after I got my third assignment back
May 7, 2015 at 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe: I suggested "Tower of Pi" as a name for our hanger band.. they just looked at me for an uncomfortably long time and said "we dont need a name"
May 7, 2015 at 6:00 AM - bamhm182: haha
May 7, 2015 at 6:00 AM - daniel871: Should've went with "Tower of Tau"
May 7, 2015 at 6:01 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm really not sure how to take that
May 7, 2015 at 6:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: I thought you guys were the "barnstorming band"?
May 7, 2015 at 6:02 AM - daniel871: Haha, there are towers of Pi, Tau, Euler and Phi on Thingiverse.
May 7, 2015 at 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: tat,, that's too kitchzy
May 7, 2015 at 6:03 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm actually the only aviation guy in the bunch, I just happen to have a hanger big enough and in an area zoned for noise
May 7, 2015 at 6:07 AM - jbigler1986: we know the true reason you have the hanger

May 7, 2015 at 6:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think you used the wrong printer
May 7, 2015 at 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: i think you're right

May 7, 2015 at 7:33 AM - Mike Kelly: how are things
May 7, 2015 at 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: good besides my print not looking the greatest because my rods (threaded rods included) are dry as can be
May 7, 2015 at 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: yeeah i was just reading that
May 7, 2015 at 7:35 AM - Mike Kelly: that's one advantage of super lube, lasts for months
May 7, 2015 at 7:35 AM - Mike Kelly: but it does get super nasty
May 7, 2015 at 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: well i should have lubed after the 67 hour print. dumb me
May 7, 2015 at 7:35 AM - Mike Kelly: what took 67 hours?
May 7, 2015 at 7:36 AM - jbigler1986: the vend machine body
May 7, 2015 at 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: oh yeah
May 7, 2015 at 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: have you tracked the filament
May 7, 2015 at 7:38 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like it got to the post office this morning

May 7, 2015 at 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't know much about the post office
May 7, 2015 at 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: did you notice i vapor polished the carriage
May 7, 2015 at 7:40 AM - jbigler1986: if it was ups or fedex they would sit on it for the day most likely
May 7, 2015 at 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: i couldn't really see it
May 7, 2015 at 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's pretty subtle
May 7, 2015 at 7:41 AM - Mike Kelly: i didn't do it very long
May 7, 2015 at 7:42 AM - jbigler1986: looks good though
May 7, 2015 at 7:42 AM - Mike Kelly: thanks, not much of a change
May 7, 2015 at 7:42 AM - Mike Kelly: the new fan holders should work well though
May 7, 2015 at 7:42 AM - Mike Kelly: and hopefully it doesn't crack apart like the old one did
May 7, 2015 at 7:43 AM - jbigler1986: i like the heater cartridge fiberglass there. lol
May 7, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that stuff is annoying
May 7, 2015 at 7:44 AM - jbigler1986: yes it is
May 7, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Mike Kelly: especially if you try and crimp on it
May 7, 2015 at 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: yeah haven't tried that. i have to remove that crap to solder.
May 7, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i found the part i needed so i should be ready to start printing again tonight
May 7, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: yup same situation really
May 7, 2015 at 7:46 AM - jbigler1986: you barely move it and it splinters

May 7, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: it's been raining for like 4 days which is freaking bizarre for us
May 7, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: that is rare
May 7, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: lightening storms are always fun there though

May 7, 2015 at 7:55 AM - jbigler1986: have you gotten an eta on the bontech?

May 7, 2015 at 8:08 AM - jbigler1986: no thanks. lol
May 7, 2015 at 8:09 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 7, 2015 at 8:10 AM - Mike Kelly: oh cool the price is less because he included VAT
May 7, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Mike Kelly: like $80
May 7, 2015 at 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: wtf is vat
May 7, 2015 at 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: it's like a EU tax
May 7, 2015 at 8:12 AM - jbigler1986: gotcha
May 7, 2015 at 8:17 AM - jbigler1986: $84.90. That's better
May 7, 2015 at 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that's close to what i anticipated
May 7, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: then use whatever stepper and print the case?
May 7, 2015 at 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 7, 2015 at 8:19 AM - jbigler1986: are his bolts what makes it special?
May 7, 2015 at 8:22 AM - jbigler1986: omg img is slow as crap right now
May 7, 2015 at 8:24 AM - Mike Glass: Morning Mike
May 7, 2015 at 8:26 AM - jbigler1986: did you try to print that bolt
May 7, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Glass: naw was finishing up my minecraft lamps, I have an order I had to fill.
May 7, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: ahhhhh. uploading 5 pictures to imgur has taken 10 minutes so far
May 7, 2015 at 8:39 AM - jbigler1986: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/vend-machine-candy-dispenser.5406/
May 7, 2015 at 8:40 AM - Mike Glass: how come you didnt put a real jar on it?
May 7, 2015 at 8:40 AM - jbigler1986: wanted it to fully 3d printed. I plan on getting one
May 7, 2015 at 8:40 AM - jbigler1986: have some smaller jars. need to get a bigger one
May 7, 2015 at 8:40 AM - Mike Glass: or T-glase would be cool
May 7, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Mike Glass: looks awesome
May 7, 2015 at 8:42 AM - jbigler1986: I removed the flap on the bottom front. I did not like it

 

May 7, 2015 at 8:42 AM - Mike Glass: Why did you not print with the .8 nozzle
May 7, 2015 at 8:43 AM - jbigler1986: because there are a few little pins and parts that don't turn out good with .8. Tried it before
May 7, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Mike Glass: at least the body should be fine
May 7, 2015 at 8:46 AM - jbigler1986: yeah it would have been. i wanted to print it all with the same height and nozzle though
May 7, 2015 at 8:46 AM - Mike Glass: ugg why does the EUSTATHIOS use 8mm and 10mm, why
May 7, 2015 at 8:46 AM - jbigler1986: for?
May 7, 2015 at 8:47 AM - Mike Glass: im ordering parts and wanted to keep it all 10mm
May 7, 2015 at 8:48 AM - jbigler1986: your building that now?
May 7, 2015 at 8:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: just use all 10s and drill out where ever an 8 is?
May 7, 2015 at 8:49 AM - Mike Glass: nothing to drill, the printed parts are 8mm
May 7, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: JB, you'll love this. VAT stands for "value added tax"
May 7, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Mike Glass: Im going to be building off the frame I posted last night
May 7, 2015 at 8:52 AM - jbigler1986: oh so same as sales tax. those silly UK peeps
May 7, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Mike Glass: But value has been added..
May 7, 2015 at 8:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: right, and "alternative minimum tax" is a fancy way of saying you pay more.
May 7, 2015 at 8:55 AM - Mike Glass: Mike, did you email martin on the bondtech to order?
May 7, 2015 at 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: i just tried messaging him
May 7, 2015 at 9:03 AM - Mike Glass: so your getting one for $80?
May 7, 2015 at 9:03 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what it comes out to when the VAT is removed
May 7, 2015 at 9:03 AM - daniel871: The VAT is more for when a Manufacturer selling something claims they've increased the value of whatever they're selling, so they get taxed on it.
May 7, 2015 at 9:04 AM - daniel871: (and really only applies to sales between wholesalers and retailers, even though the cost gets pushed on to the consumer)
May 7, 2015 at 9:05 AM - daniel871: Also you won't get away from the VAT when buying from someone that has to pay it. They have to pay it no matter who they sell it to.
May 7, 2015 at 9:06 AM - daniel871: (so you in turn have to pay it)
May 7, 2015 at 9:07 AM - daniel871: (unless it's in a country with specific exemptions for exported goods)
May 7, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: 179.90 shipped
May 7, 2015 at 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: shipping from EU to US is VAT exempt
May 7, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Mike Glass: yep
May 7, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Mike Glass: You must of bought directly from him right?
May 7, 2015 at 9:10 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if someone would buy my old geared nema 17's
May 7, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Mike Kelly: his shop is open now
May 7, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Mike Glass: yea thats where I got the pricing
May 7, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Glass: OH did you buy the kit?
May 7, 2015 at 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: he charges 6.10 for paypal though :\
May 7, 2015 at 9:17 AM - Mike Kelly: i haven't ordered yet but yeah i'll be going with the kit
May 7, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Mike Glass: you have the geared stepper I assume
May 7, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i need approval first
May 7, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Mike Glass: I found them for around $28
May 7, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah but mine have 6mm diameter shafts and he calls for 8mm
May 7, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Mike Glass: oh
May 7, 2015 at 9:20 AM - Mike Glass: duct tape?
May 7, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: even if you were to try and coble one togther using bearings, shafts, and gears off mcmaster you are looking at $40 for gears, $30 for shafts, and another $15 for bearings.
May 7, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: what were those adapters that stephen linked me before... hmmm
May 7, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: $85 and you haven't even taken into account the MK7 drive gear
May 7, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah $80 for the hardware is a fair price imo
May 7, 2015 at 9:22 AM - donhuevo: fellas
May 7, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: adapters
May 7, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: ?
May 7, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: 6 to 8 mm?
May 7, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: was it a sleeve bearing?
May 7, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: it may have been
May 7, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: one of my favorite cheats
May 7, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: but in this case it might slip
May 7, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Mike Glass: hot glue it
May 7, 2015 at 9:24 AM - Mike Glass: hey Don
May 7, 2015 at 9:24 AM - donhuevo: what are we building?

May 7, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: Weird science?
May 7, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Mike Glass: lol
May 7, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: though i'm young enough to only really know of the tv show
May 7, 2015 at 9:27 AM - donhuevo: they made a series out of it?
May 7, 2015 at 9:27 AM - donhuevo: how did I miss that
May 7, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Science_(TV_series)
May 7, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: hmm I seemed to of missed that also
May 7, 2015 at 9:28 AM - donhuevo: Vanessa Angel. good choice. she was in Kingpin too
May 7, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: i couldn't think of the shows name but i had the into song. She blinded me with science
May 7, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: my brain works in interesting ways
May 7, 2015 at 9:30 AM - donhuevo: starts with an innocent question and ends with Randy Quaid's erect nipples
May 7, 2015 at 9:30 AM - donhuevo: and/or Bill Murray's comb-over
May 7, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: such a classic movie
May 7, 2015 at 9:31 AM - donhuevo: one of my all-time top 5 comedies

May 7, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: slick
May 7, 2015 at 9:38 AM - donhuevo: way too early to start throwing words like that around
May 7, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/E2d4m3p.jpg you can't really see it but the fans will mount to the carriage now
May 7, 2015 at 9:40 AM - donhuevo: I like it
May 7, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: now the plate mounts with 2 axial screws since those work really well and are super easy to remove
May 7, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: the old method was annoying
May 7, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Mike Kelly: then i'm gonna design something to hold the wires
May 7, 2015 at 9:42 AM - donhuevo: how about an articulating robot hand to hold the wires?
May 7, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: Design something to hold wires? ugh how about Bondic, hot glue, or gorilla glue?
May 7, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: I think i got them all
May 7, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
May 7, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll just duct tape it
May 7, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: fancy colored duct tape or plain silver?
May 7, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/dLziAIM.jpg kinda shows it a bit more
May 7, 2015 at 9:45 AM - donhuevo:
May 7, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: camo tape
May 7, 2015 at 9:45 AM - donhuevo: then they'd be completely hidden from view!
May 7, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: how would you ever find them?
May 7, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: invisible wiring
May 7, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Mike Glass: I told you wireless is the way to go.
May 7, 2015 at 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: lemme call up tesla and see how to handle power transmission
May 7, 2015 at 9:47 AM - donhuevo: use the two x rails as 12V buses
May 7, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: that's actually a pretty cool idea

 

May 7, 2015 at 9:48 AM - donhuevo: I'm here to help
May 7, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: having trouble getting approval from the CEO MRS, hopefully by the end of the day
May 7, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Mike Glass: thats a good way to run lights to the top
May 7, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.evwest.com/catalog/produ...ducts_id=51&osCsid=31p2j37355ffhj84s5lrfkb9k7
May 7, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: should be big enough to supply enough juice for the heater for 24 hours
May 7, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: Just mount that on top of the carriage
May 7, 2015 at 9:50 AM - donhuevo: well 4 in series
May 7, 2015 at 9:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: right, forgot the voltage needs to be bumped
May 7, 2015 at 9:51 AM - Mike Glass: I have 20 of the 7.4 volt ones you can have
May 7, 2015 at 9:51 AM - jbigler1986: Solar powered 3d printer. Duh
May 7, 2015 at 9:51 AM - jbigler1986: Still require wiring I suppose. Nevermind
May 7, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: To monitor temp of the heat block just use an IR thermometer with some sort of tracking capability
May 7, 2015 at 9:52 AM - donhuevo: had this thought today... cars equipped with cell phone jammers that activate when not in Park
May 7, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: or a thermal imaging system and just pull the highest value sensed
May 7, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: AT&T is working on something like that, but it only has enough range for the drivers seat
May 7, 2015 at 9:53 AM - donhuevo: still...
May 7, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: what if you needed to call 911
May 7, 2015 at 9:53 AM - donhuevo: I can't believe how often I see eyelids instead of eyes
May 7, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: would never pass
May 7, 2015 at 9:53 AM - donhuevo: pull over and park the car
May 7, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: If you need to call 911, I hope your car is no longer moving
May 7, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Mike Glass: ok so your gonna have a semi pull to the side of a two lane highway. that seems like a disaster waiting to happen
May 7, 2015 at 9:54 AM - jbigler1986: Speak to text us wonderful
May 7, 2015 at 9:54 AM - donhuevo: did you just talk that into your computer?
May 7, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Mike Glass: exactly JB
May 7, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Mike Glass: very accurate..lol
May 7, 2015 at 9:56 AM - donhuevo: it won't be long before you'll be able to tell Siri something like... 'Siri, break up with my girlfriend in a text. Be nice but firm'
May 7, 2015 at 9:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: better than him actually typing
May 7, 2015 at 9:56 AM - Mike Glass: ohh text to printing?
May 7, 2015 at 9:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: that would imply that Siri is not your girlfriend
May 7, 2015 at 9:57 AM - donhuevo: it would only imply that she wasn't my ex
May 7, 2015 at 9:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: Jarvis, print me a spaceship
May 7, 2015 at 9:57 AM - Mike Glass: oh that reminds me of the movie "HER" ugg horrible
May 7, 2015 at 9:58 AM - jbigler1986: Hey now Stephen. At least I'm better than bill
May 7, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: but bill remembers when the typewriter was invented
May 7, 2015 at 9:59 AM - donhuevo: 'Siri, my back is itchy' [watch detaches from wrist, crawls to back and starts humping]
May 7, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: called it some new fad that would never stick, and he was right
May 7, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Mike Glass: 155 years is not a fad
May 7, 2015 at 10:02 AM - jbigler1986: yeah apply watch will not last. i had a gear 2 (i think is what it was called). used it for a week before I sold it
May 7, 2015 at 10:02 AM - donhuevo: another fad?
May 7, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Mike Glass: apply watch?
May 7, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Mike Glass: god bill jr. type
May 7, 2015 at 10:03 AM - donhuevo: I think he meant Appley
May 7, 2015 at 10:04 AM - donhuevo: I'm still waiting on the Apple Tricorder
May 7, 2015 at 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: fuck. fail
May 7, 2015 at 10:04 AM - donhuevo: something fit for a budding science officer
May 7, 2015 at 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: apply = apple
May 7, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.csmonitor.com/Commentary/Monitor-Political-Cartoons/(id)/904618
May 7, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: ^ Apple
May 7, 2015 at 10:05 AM - jbigler1986: screw them. They don't deserve the capital a
May 7, 2015 at 10:05 AM - Mike Glass: Apple is for pediphiles
May 7, 2015 at 10:05 AM - Mike Kelly: hey now
May 7, 2015 at 10:06 AM - Mike Glass: unless you already own one..lol
May 7, 2015 at 10:06 AM - jbigler1986: They have good hardware. I will give them that
May 7, 2015 at 10:07 AM - jbigler1986: Overpriced yes. Software sucks. Itunes is the worst piece of software ever
May 7, 2015 at 10:07 AM - jbigler1986: Besides Mattercontrol that is
May 7, 2015 at 10:07 AM - donhuevo: MfnC
May 7, 2015 at 10:07 AM - Mike Kelly: itunes is just ported to windows poorly
May 7, 2015 at 10:07 AM - Mike Glass: oh MC is getting better I heard
May 7, 2015 at 10:07 AM - jbigler1986: No. It sucks on mac as well
May 7, 2015 at 10:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i still hate it until they add a freaking temp graph
May 7, 2015 at 10:08 AM - Mike Kelly: HOW HARD IS THAT
May 7, 2015 at 10:08 AM - jbigler1986: so once they add that you will like it?
May 7, 2015 at 10:08 AM - donhuevo: yeah, I'm almost certain...
May 7, 2015 at 10:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think the opposite of hate is like, but i'll disdain it less
May 7, 2015 at 10:09 AM - Mike Glass: When they aquire robo, it may be the only choice.
May 7, 2015 at 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't see that happening
May 7, 2015 at 10:09 AM - Mike Glass: I know
May 7, 2015 at 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: considering robo is already exploring alternatives to MC
May 7, 2015 at 10:09 AM - Mike Glass: So they say, so they say
May 7, 2015 at 10:10 AM - Mike Glass: somthings you just dont know why
May 7, 2015 at 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 7, 2015 at 10:11 AM - jbigler1986: can't believe they pay MC. WTF
May 7, 2015 at 10:11 AM - jbigler1986: or Matterhackers I should say
May 7, 2015 at 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the custom branding costs them a lot
May 7, 2015 at 10:14 AM - Mike Glass: Mike the 300 linear steppers will work for me, when do you want to order them?
May 7, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Mike Glass: we would need on more person to get the 5 discount
May 7, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Mike Kelly: lol probably like july
May 7, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Mike Glass: no hurry really.
May 7, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Glass: my parts will take a few months on the slow boat anyways
May 7, 2015 at 10:16 AM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: ok
May 7, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: if i buy these bondtechs i'll have no budget for a while
May 7, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Mike Kelly: but i want those first in case i need to grab some 8mm shaft geared steppers if the adapters don't work
May 7, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: If I was getting another printer I would go in with you guys. Sorry
May 7, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: I'm sure someone here will
May 7, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: as Im designing this like the v2 spider but with the rack I have around it.
May 7, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: if you made a thread about it mike i bet you could drum up some interest
May 7, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Mike Glass: I was wondering to if I talked to one of the guys at robo if they would go in with some as well.
May 7, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i believe they have a supplier already
May 7, 2015 at 10:20 AM - jbigler1986: Here let me get Braydon's cell number for you.
May 7, 2015 at 10:21 AM - jbigler1986: jk. I hope they do offer the upgrade
May 7, 2015 at 10:21 AM - jbigler1986: Would be shitty to dangle the option in front of people and not offer it
May 7, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Mike Glass: what is a dual shaft geared stepper
May 7, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: its got a shaft on both ends
May 7, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: one out the back and the other out the front
May 7, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: the backside is generally not geared
May 7, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: aww gotcha
May 7, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: used sometimes when people want to attach an encoder
May 7, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: seems redundant on a stepper

 

May 7, 2015 at 10:28 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah jb unfortunately robo just doesn't have a lot of man power
May 7, 2015 at 10:28 AM - Mike Kelly: jerry was explaining to me that if he did a kit he'd have to do it off hours and wouldn't be paid for the extra labor
May 7, 2015 at 10:28 AM - donhuevo: it would be a nice thing to have on an extruder if you wanted to hand feed
May 7, 2015 at 10:29 AM - jbigler1986: ouch. or they could ask some members in the forum and see if they would help out. at least for a test run
May 7, 2015 at 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: we shall see
May 7, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i hope they can offer a kit, i know a lot of people would want it
May 7, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: they are used in rotary applications in place of having a limit switch. once it is setup you are good to go for "forever"
May 7, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a good point
May 7, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Mike Glass: so this should work for bondtech right http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...rque-nema-17-stepper-17hs191684spg5-p-40.html
May 7, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Mike Kelly: correct that's what i'd buy
May 7, 2015 at 10:32 AM - donhuevo: that's what I use
May 7, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah in hindsight i should have done that and sources 8mm mk7's
May 7, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Glass: ok added to the BOM
May 7, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if someone would buy my dual extruder setup
May 7, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Stephen Capistron: i like how it is rated for 2Nm and 283 oz-in instead of ~1.5 ft-lbs
May 7, 2015 at 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that things got a ton of torque
May 7, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: the difference in implied precision in the ratings based on unit choice is funny
May 7, 2015 at 10:35 AM - donhuevo: I grabbed one of these too but never played with it http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...t-nema-11-stepper-11hs120674d1pg27-p-263.html
May 7, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: 520g heavy motor though
May 7, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish someone would sell just the gear box
May 7, 2015 at 10:36 AM - donhuevo: that would be nice
May 7, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: then i could just swap them
May 7, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: someone linked a dual drive extruder that used that
May 7, 2015 at 10:37 AM - donhuevo: I'll eventually make the time to do some evil experiments with it
May 7, 2015 at 10:38 AM - Mike Glass: ok to make sure im correct these are the ones that we need for the upgrade?
May 7, 2015 at 10:38 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/th...epper-motor-48mm-body-300mm-t8-x-8-p-227.html
May 7, 2015 at 10:39 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
May 7, 2015 at 10:39 AM - jbigler1986: i thought i saw them for 40 something on there
May 7, 2015 at 10:39 AM - Mike Glass: for some reason I had the t6.5
May 7, 2015 at 10:39 AM - Mike Glass: but I know we want the t8
May 7, 2015 at 10:40 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.reliance.co.uk/downloads/RG36 Planetary Gearboxes Size 40 NEMA 17.pdf
May 7, 2015 at 10:40 AM - Stephen Capistron: Might only do wholesale though
May 7, 2015 at 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: we broke 100,000 gallons of liquid fuels generated
May 7, 2015 at 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: This is equivalent to 9.4 billion BTU or over 700 tons of CO2 emissions.
May 7, 2015 at 10:41 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/th...epper-motor-34mm-body-300mm-t8-x-8-p-218.html
May 7, 2015 at 10:42 AM - Mike Glass: hmm not sure now
May 7, 2015 at 10:42 AM - Mike Kelly: 36 oz-in isn't great
May 7, 2015 at 10:43 AM - Mike Kelly: but it's 8mm per revolution so you need less torque
May 7, 2015 at 10:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-resources/calculator.html#results
May 7, 2015 at 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: I think they would be fine for a z axis
May 7, 2015 at 10:44 AM - Mike Glass: so the 48mm Mike?
May 7, 2015 at 10:44 AM - Mike Kelly: jb didn't yours come with 34mm bodies
May 7, 2015 at 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: let me see
May 7, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: that is only .0002 coal plants mike
May 7, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh coal
May 7, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Mike Glass: well they swapped to the robo arent they 34mm
May 7, 2015 at 10:45 AM - donhuevo: Mike I think you said that wrong. You get 8mm of travel per revolution. Mine are 2mm per revolution. Mine have less torque
May 7, 2015 at 10:45 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah you're right
May 7, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i feel like the 36 oz-in is sufficient
May 7, 2015 at 10:46 AM - Mike Kelly: it would just suck to be wrong
May 7, 2015 at 10:46 AM - donhuevo: these are what I bought... http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/th...per-motor-48mm-body-300mm-t635-x-2-p-225.html
May 7, 2015 at 10:46 AM - donhuevo: which is probably overkill
May 7, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah and the price on those is more
May 7, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.daycounter.com/Calculators/Lead-Screw-Force-Torque-Calculator.phtml
May 7, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Mike Glass: thats what I had on my list. So you tell me which ones Mike. I may just order 10
May 7, 2015 at 10:47 AM - Mike Kelly: if we knew the weight of the Z axis we could do the math
May 7, 2015 at 10:48 AM - donhuevo: as long as someone remembers to carry the one
May 7, 2015 at 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: lemme check my model
May 7, 2015 at 10:48 AM - donhuevo: their shipping is god-awful too. muy expensive
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's like 45 bucks when you order 10
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: or maybe it was 90
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - donhuevo: or two
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: either way it was a lot
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Glass: its $38 for two sooo
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: 2 was like 30
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - donhuevo: yes, painful
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: anyone checked ebay?
May 7, 2015 at 10:49 AM - donhuevo: bulk purchase would be the way to go
May 7, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: mike did you still want my counter weight?
May 7, 2015 at 10:50 AM - donhuevo: you slaved over that
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - donhuevo: added extra scientists to your team for it too as I recall
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: was a bit of work but now i don't really need it
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Mike Glass: im not bowden so probably not needed
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - donhuevo: where's your x stepper?
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: now that my couplers are rigid mounted to my idlers
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: or delrin nuts that is to say
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - donhuevo: ah
May 7, 2015 at 10:51 AM - donhuevo: gotcha
May 7, 2015 at 10:52 AM - donhuevo: building an anti-gravity rig now
May 7, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: pulley and counter weight?
May 7, 2015 at 10:53 AM - donhuevo: going bowden and removing the extruder stepper from the carriage meant the x stepper could lift the far idler off its nut
May 7, 2015 at 10:53 AM - donhuevo: see saw
May 7, 2015 at 10:53 AM - donhuevo: with a fat kid
May 7, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: helium balloons tied to the x-motor?
May 7, 2015 at 10:54 AM - donhuevo: didn't try that
May 7, 2015 at 10:54 AM - jbigler1986: here are the specs on the steppers i got http://www.sainsmart.com/sainsmart-nema-17-lead-screw-300mm-stepper-motor-z-axis-3d-printer.html
May 7, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: 1 liter of helium lifts 1 gram
May 7, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: according to my model it weighs around 1.3kg
May 7, 2015 at 10:56 AM - donhuevo: a lot of balloons
May 7, 2015 at 10:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: thats the entire x assembly
May 7, 2015 at 10:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: you really only need to lift the x motor
May 7, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah but i'm not sure on my motor weights
May 7, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: with balloons that is
May 7, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think they're accurate
May 7, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: according to that calculator it only needs like 5 oz-in
May 7, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://astrosyn.com/section.php/61/1/my17hdn_series_1_8
May 7, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to check the material properties
May 7, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: assume 3 liters per balloon and don only needs 100
May 7, 2015 at 10:59 AM - donhuevo: don't get the bipolar motors. You'll only get decent prints when the motors are having good days

 

May 7, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: if you use lithium liberally you will be okay
May 7, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: model is saying 240g
May 7, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: for the motor
May 7, 2015 at 10:59 AM - donhuevo: true
May 7, 2015 at 11:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: link i found said 280
May 7, 2015 at 11:00 AM - donhuevo: I'm wondering now if a liberal application of white lithium grease on my bipolar aunt would help
May 7, 2015 at 11:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: this would be so much easier at home with my kitchen scale
May 7, 2015 at 11:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: let it absorb through the skin
May 7, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Glass: so we should be good with these then, basically same as what JB got. http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/th...epper-motor-34mm-body-300mm-t8-x-8-p-218.html
May 7, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: if we assume 2kg then that puts it just ver 7oz-in
May 7, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: i think 34 will be fine
May 7, 2015 at 11:01 AM - donhuevo: my concern is the 8mm per revolution. wouldn't 2mm be more accurate?
May 7, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Glass: ok you confused me as you said 36 before..lol
May 7, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Stephen Capistron: i don't know if they will be enough for the battery pack you'll need for wireless printing
May 7, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Glass: oh I see what your saying don
May 7, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: those are 2mm / revolution aren't they?
May 7, 2015 at 11:03 AM - donhuevo: the ones Mike just linked are 8mm/rev
May 7, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: it's 36.8 oz in on a 34mm body
May 7, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: don depends what layer height you want
May 7, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: i have the same threading and i run 400 steps/mm
May 7, 2015 at 11:05 AM - donhuevo: 400 steps per revolution before you get into using the jumpers?
May 7, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: hello all
May 7, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: how's everyone doing?!
May 7, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: doing well
May 7, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: 400 steps/mm so that's
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Mike Kelly: .0025mm per step
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Mike Kelly: or 10 steps for 25 micron layer height
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Shank: is the e3d nozzle diameter smaller than the hexagon?
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - jbigler1986: Doing good. You?
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Mike Kelly: shank, no both .4mm
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Shank: thanks mk
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Mike Glass: Shank you
May 7, 2015 at 11:06 AM - donhuevo: that's accurate enough
May 7, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: we're discussing a group order of these braydon: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/th...epper-motor-34mm-body-300mm-t8-x-8-p-218.html
May 7, 2015 at 11:07 AM - donhuevo: so... nevermind
May 7, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Glass: so what am I ordering..lol
May 7, 2015 at 11:07 AM - jbigler1986: can I go below .1 height with those rods? hmmm
May 7, 2015 at 11:08 AM - donhuevo: yep
May 7, 2015 at 11:08 AM - jbigler1986: I have them installed
May 7, 2015 at 11:08 AM - donhuevo: way below
May 7, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: you'd have to be cray cray though
May 7, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm not sure the min step per layer height, but you can get much lower
May 7, 2015 at 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: well i like to be a little crazy
May 7, 2015 at 11:09 AM - donhuevo: I have a 50 micron Yoda around here somewhere
May 7, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Mike Glass: They still come to $100 a pair shipped to the door if I order 10
May 7, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Mike Kelly: if you can wait a week we'll find out is robo can do it
May 7, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Mike Glass: $78 shipping is insane
May 7, 2015 at 11:10 AM - donhuevo: maybe they can smuggle them out of China in some printer boxes
May 7, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Mike Kelly: seriously, though they do good packaging
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Glass: goo or no goo its crazy
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: that was creepy, i just saw mike add the "d"
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Glass: you're awesome btw for editiing
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Kelly:
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: i was looking right at "goo" and poof it changed
May 7, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Mike Glass: I want that back
May 7, 2015 at 11:12 AM - donhuevo: I saw it too
May 7, 2015 at 11:12 AM - jbigler1986: busted
May 7, 2015 at 11:12 AM - donhuevo: awesome is seeming more and more like an understatement
May 7, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I am doing great Jbigler
May 7, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Kelly: lemme suggest it
May 7, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: let me know if you all have any questions at all about what's going on here at ROBO
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Glass: Braydon whats the status on my beta R2
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: get some more polo's
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are bringing in a new engineer to finish it out
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: releasing a full addition to the R1 line first
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: ETA?
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: R1 with screen, R1 with embedded computer
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: wi fi, the whole deal
May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Joey: Damn nice, cloud slicing?
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: onboard slicing
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: still running matter control?
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: don't tell me it involves Matterhackers
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Joey: O
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Glass: wifi would be choice
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Kelly: is this on the titan board?
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes, we are going to have a premier version of the R1 with the matter control touch embedded
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: creating our own version of it with them
May 7, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: will be nice
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Kelly: tell them to add a temp graph!
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Kelly: i can't believe they don't have that
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - jbigler1986: nooooooooooooooo
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I know. We are working extensively with them on some additional features
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Glass: Yes a temp graph
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Kelly: perfect
May 7, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: i don't think it needs additional features, it just needs to work more often
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: agreed
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: no bugs
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: ^
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: fix the sd feature. it's horrible
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the touch works really well actually
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Mike Glass: that jb's fav program dont be hackin
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are pretty impressed with it
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: the bugs on it are a bit out of hand
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Joey: I was curious, I haven't used it. How do you guys get 24 hour phone support to work? It's hard to find people who know 3D printing, yet alone round the clock
May 7, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if the tablet has the same issues
May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Joey, the 24/7 support is basic level support
May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we did extensive training with them
May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and built out question and answer sheets based on data we have from support emails and calls
May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Joey: Ah, that's really awesome

 

May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and they are learning more and more as we progress
May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes it is great for us
May 7, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and the retailers like it also
May 7, 2015 at 11:18 AM - jbigler1986: how about you release your own android/linux software for tablet
May 7, 2015 at 11:18 AM - JeffTheMess: any news on extended warranties?
May 7, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: joey while you're here i've been having an issue with using a HIPS raft and ABS material on my rep2x, prior to 2.2 it was working fine, but as of 2.2 it no longer sticks. I have it set to 0.0mm of airgap but if I examine the G-code it shows it adds a gap anyways, any thoughts?
May 7, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have an R&D team that is ready to start working on a software for us, but I just do not want to deplete too much cash right now
May 7, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: on the uncertainty of it being developed correctly
May 7, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Extended warranties will be available by the summer time
May 7, 2015 at 11:19 AM - jbigler1986: have you guys thought about working with cura or slic3r
May 7, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: end of summer time*
May 7, 2015 at 11:19 AM - Mike Glass: or s3d
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: ^
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - JeffTheMess: how about on existing robos warranties for those as well, that I can buy?
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Joey: Could you email me a G-code file Mike! I can take a look at it
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Mike Kelly: not sure ultimaker would be interested in another company branding their software
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: yes, once we have the touch screen we were talking about having the machine come with a ready made slicing profile for cura so you can just pop the files in, slice it, and house them on the touch screen
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Mike Kelly: sure joey
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I am not sure either
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we will have to see
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: why not have that now?
May 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: right now, matter hackers is working with us to better the software
May 7, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: as we have stressed numerous problems within it
May 7, 2015 at 11:21 AM - jbigler1986: tell them to fix their forum as well. it's horrible
May 7, 2015 at 11:21 AM - jbigler1986: took 5 days to get a response on something a few months ago
May 7, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Jeff, I am not sure about buying additional warranties if you already have the machine yet
May 7, 2015 at 11:21 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: I will look into this
May 7, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Mike Glass: yes that would be nice, probably could get a MAC warranty though
May 7, 2015 at 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: Will you guys be backing the touch tablet or will that have to go through them? better to only have to deal with 1 company
May 7, 2015 at 11:24 AM - Mike Glass: Did you order one JB?
May 7, 2015 at 11:24 AM - jbigler1986: hell no
May 7, 2015 at 11:25 AM - jbigler1986: might as well just shut off the printer. it will work about the same as using that
May 7, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: haha
May 7, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we are talking about an embedded solution with the touch tab
May 7, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: so yes you will purchase it as a ready made assembled machie
May 7, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: machine*
May 7, 2015 at 11:26 AM - Mike Glass: I would buy one of kits if it was a little cheaper but that tablet is not worth $300, I can get a windows 8 dell tablet, for cheaper.
May 7, 2015 at 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: I get that. Will you guys be providing support for that though
May 7, 2015 at 11:27 AM - JeffTheMess: will there ever be dual extruder kits? in the future?
May 7, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Glass: haha
May 7, 2015 at 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: sorry for my hate on Mattercontrol. We just have to solve a lot of peoples issues that are caused by it
May 7, 2015 at 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: did simplify 3d change their factory file from fff to factory?
May 7, 2015 at 11:29 AM - jbigler1986: they have both
May 7, 2015 at 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: mike you got your wish
May 7, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Glass: oh
May 7, 2015 at 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: on another note. What is the longest print you guys have done on the R1?
May 7, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Glass: lol
May 7, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: do you see the arrow next to your name?
May 7, 2015 at 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: you can edit meow
May 7, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: he saw
May 7, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i saw
May 7, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: right meow
May 7, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: haha meow
May 7, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: now don't abuse it or it'll be gone
May 7, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: and take screen shots if someone posts something obscene and tries to edit it
May 7, 2015 at 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: I will just go ahead and close the chat then. lol
May 7, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Mike Glass: now how can I change others peoples text<>*<>
May 7, 2015 at 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: hahaha
May 7, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Harry: haha i didn't enable that bit
May 7, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Mike Kelly: you wish
May 7, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: bigs, we did a 102 hour print
May 7, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: Fibonacci thing
May 7, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: pretty crazy
May 7, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: you almost have JB beat.
May 7, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Kelly: got me beat
May 7, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: yours was 48 right
May 7, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: JB is now going to print the candy body with a .05mm layer height
May 7, 2015 at 11:34 AM - jbigler1986: nope. they beat me. If i would have done it at .1 it would have been over 100 hours
May 7, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: haha do it , do it, do it
May 7, 2015 at 11:35 AM - TechSupportGo: hello
May 7, 2015 at 11:35 AM - jbigler1986: hmmmmm
May 7, 2015 at 11:35 AM - jbigler1986: don't temp me
May 7, 2015 at 11:35 AM - JeffTheMess: pissing contest who can print the longest
May 7, 2015 at 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: just slowed it down to 5mm/s
May 7, 2015 at 11:36 AM - jbigler1986: there ya go
May 7, 2015 at 11:36 AM - Mike Kelly: i prefer who can print the fastest
May 7, 2015 at 11:36 AM - TechSupportGo: MG, did you finish that laser?
May 7, 2015 at 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: I could print a yarn ball the fastest
May 7, 2015 at 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: parts will be here tomorrow
May 7, 2015 at 11:37 AM - jbigler1986: i think don has the fastest
May 7, 2015 at 11:37 AM - Mike Kelly: yes he does
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: anything you guys want us to print on the new R1 plus with lead screws to check out the quality?
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: and the biggest, cause I think he naked over there
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we have these things fine tuned
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Mike Kelly: print the aria dragon
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:600550
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: print MK R2
May 7, 2015 at 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: Benchy at 200%
May 7, 2015 at 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: braydon there's a lot of interest in upgrade kit for those, if you can find the budget
May 7, 2015 at 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the 3d benchy is a good test
May 7, 2015 at 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622
May 7, 2015 at 11:39 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: ok ok
May 7, 2015 at 11:39 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: on it
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we were just talking about it yesterday
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: once we get it through production
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: we will most definitely
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Mike Kelly: great
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - jbigler1986: how much is this new R1 gonna cost
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i know jerry has a lot of interest in doing it, i think people would really appreciate it
May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Mike Glass: I can offer them at around $120 if I buy 10 at a time

 

May 7, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Mike Glass: for a pair
May 7, 2015 at 11:41 AM - Mike Glass: Or maybe we can get printed involved if you guys arent ready yet.
May 7, 2015 at 11:41 AM - jbigler1986: i asked him about it
May 7, 2015 at 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd say we put a pin in that for a while until we know what robo's doing
May 7, 2015 at 11:42 AM - jbigler1986: he wasn't very interested in it as they are readily available (not very cheaply though)
May 7, 2015 at 11:43 AM - TechSupportGo: hello Braydon!
May 7, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: Braydon could you let me know, I just dont want to step on anybody's toes.
May 7, 2015 at 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: @Braydon I sent you a PM that you might be interested in
May 7, 2015 at 11:50 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the R1 plus is still $799
May 7, 2015 at 11:51 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
May 7, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: the R1 with touch screen (not matter control touch) is probably going to be $949.99
May 7, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: called the R1 PRO
May 7, 2015 at 11:51 AM - jbigler1986: well
May 7, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Braydon ROBO 3D: and then the R1 Premier (if we do it) will be $1099
May 7, 2015 at 11:52 AM - jbigler1986: what will be with that one
May 7, 2015 at 12:03 PM - Braydon ROBO 3D: got to head out guys
May 7, 2015 at 12:03 PM - Braydon ROBO 3D: going to a conference in LA
May 7, 2015 at 12:03 PM - jbigler1986: see ya. have fun
May 7, 2015 at 12:03 PM - Braydon ROBO 3D: message me with any questions braydon@robo3d.com
May 7, 2015 at 12:03 PM - TechSupportGo: later
May 7, 2015 at 12:06 PM - Mike Kelly: if you had a 4k allowance to buy a printer, what would you get
May 7, 2015 at 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: UM2 or that Italian one
May 7, 2015 at 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: what about you?
May 7, 2015 at 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: maybe not UM2. Would want a bigger build volume
May 7, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: UM2 extended
May 7, 2015 at 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: oh yeah. forgot about that
May 7, 2015 at 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: bam. done
May 7, 2015 at 12:09 PM - toy: give me 4k
May 7, 2015 at 12:09 PM - toy: i will hook u up =)
May 7, 2015 at 12:09 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
May 7, 2015 at 12:09 PM - toy: maybe even go closed loop for k
May 7, 2015 at 12:09 PM - toy: 4k
May 7, 2015 at 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: give me support too? and replacement parts if needed?
May 7, 2015 at 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: let's see you finish your current build first
May 7, 2015 at 12:10 PM - toy: replace the steppers with servos, etc
May 7, 2015 at 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: I like to have stuff now though
May 7, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: if frys sold UM2 I would honestly probably buy one
May 7, 2015 at 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i wish i had the money for that
May 7, 2015 at 12:13 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/NISjHJ6
May 7, 2015 at 12:13 PM - toy: pretty close....
May 7, 2015 at 12:13 PM - toy: the base plate is not mounted and in the wrong spot
May 7, 2015 at 12:14 PM - Mike Kelly: are you supporting the top of the z rods?
May 7, 2015 at 12:14 PM - Mike Kelly: lookin nice though
May 7, 2015 at 12:15 PM - toy: yes....
May 7, 2015 at 12:15 PM - toy: i need to trim them down some... machine a retainer piece for the tops of the shafts
May 7, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Mike Kelly: neat
May 7, 2015 at 12:16 PM - toy: i need to make the mount for the x stepper still
May 7, 2015 at 12:16 PM - toy: but everything is milled to withen .001 so it shoudl be exciting to see what it can do
May 7, 2015 at 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: helical couplers though
May 7, 2015 at 12:17 PM - toy: and i will counterbore those socket caps
May 7, 2015 at 12:17 PM - toy: i know right.... ebay fuxxed me over
May 7, 2015 at 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
May 7, 2015 at 12:18 PM - toy: i ordered the couplerless ones.... or at least thats what i thought i did
May 7, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: ugg we were getting ddos attacked
May 7, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: what did you do to deserve that?
May 7, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Mike Kelly: ouch mike
May 7, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Mike Kelly: china?
May 7, 2015 at 12:21 PM - Mike Glass: not sure yet, I had to call the IP they were to busy to talk..lol
May 7, 2015 at 12:22 PM - Mike Glass: happened yesterday at the same exact time.
May 7, 2015 at 12:22 PM - Mike Kelly: haha ouch
May 7, 2015 at 12:23 PM - Stephen Capistron: weird. Going to have a planned outage 1 minute prior tomorrow?
May 7, 2015 at 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: i would have gotten my money back from ebay
May 7, 2015 at 12:28 PM - BryZad: hey guys
May 7, 2015 at 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: hello
May 7, 2015 at 12:29 PM - Mike Kelly: sup bry
May 7, 2015 at 12:29 PM - BryZad: hey mike
May 7, 2015 at 12:30 PM - Mike Kelly: finish the shotgun?
May 7, 2015 at 12:30 PM - BryZad: do they still have the z coupler upgrade out ?
May 7, 2015 at 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: ???
May 7, 2015 at 12:31 PM - BryZad: almost done with the shot gun had to modify a few pieces to use the pc
May 7, 2015 at 12:32 PM - BryZad: it was a bit ago when RoBo was on here and said that you could put in a parts request for a z ribbing upgrade
May 7, 2015 at 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: nothing on that yet
May 7, 2015 at 12:32 PM - BryZad: I am not sure if Mike remembers
May 7, 2015 at 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: oh the linear steppers
May 7, 2015 at 12:35 PM - BryZad: yea I want to upgrade my stepers like you have Jb
May 7, 2015 at 12:36 PM - jbigler1986: buy em from ebay. who knows when the upgrade kit will be available
May 7, 2015 at 12:36 PM - jbigler1986: i mean amazon or elsewhere
May 7, 2015 at 12:37 PM - BryZad: I broke a smooth rod base and limit switch
May 7, 2015 at 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: How did you manage that
May 7, 2015 at 12:37 PM - BryZad: is the ball bearing in the coupler a good idea
May 7, 2015 at 12:37 PM - Mike Kelly: mike glass is talking about a group buy
May 7, 2015 at 12:38 PM - jbigler1986: ^
May 7, 2015 at 12:38 PM - BryZad: I would be in for the group by
May 7, 2015 at 12:38 PM - Mike Kelly: omg
May 7, 2015 at 12:39 PM - Mike Kelly: it'll be a month or so i guess
May 7, 2015 at 12:39 PM - BryZad: jb one of the bolt holes broke on the smooth rod support
May 7, 2015 at 12:39 PM - Mike Kelly: we'll know once we hear what robo's plans are
May 7, 2015 at 12:40 PM - jbigler1986: if you want to upgrade i would go ahead and do it
May 7, 2015 at 12:40 PM - BryZad: mike I got offers on that shot gun already lol
May 7, 2015 at 12:41 PM - Mike Kelly: haha wow
May 7, 2015 at 12:41 PM - BryZad: is the bearing in the coupler make a difrence
May 7, 2015 at 12:41 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i dunno on that
May 7, 2015 at 12:41 PM - Mike Kelly: i was never sold on that concept
May 7, 2015 at 12:41 PM - Mike Kelly: i think it's better to try to center the motor more
May 7, 2015 at 12:42 PM - BryZad: if I had it apart would ask and see
May 7, 2015 at 12:42 PM - Mike Glass: Bry I may be ordering 10 Linear steppers in a week or so I have to see how sales go this weekend.
May 7, 2015 at 12:43 PM - BryZad: I also made a reach DMR been working on to
May 7, 2015 at 12:43 PM - BryZad: i would gladly pay you for some Mike
May 7, 2015 at 12:44 PM - jbigler1986: what is the thread rod actual length
May 7, 2015 at 12:44 PM - BryZad: I haven't forgot about you and Bf4 mike been busy with prop weapons for Phoenix Comic con

 

May 7, 2015 at 12:44 PM - jbigler1986: is it 300mm overall or is it 300mm usable?
May 7, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: yeah been busy too, only played on Sunday for an hour
May 7, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: Lead Screw Length 300mm
May 7, 2015 at 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: yeah but some of that goes inside the motor
May 7, 2015 at 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: not a big deal. just wondering
May 7, 2015 at 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: start printing the adapters
May 7, 2015 at 12:48 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/iKV9JhR
May 7, 2015 at 12:48 PM - BryZad: I hate when I build a prop then get to a finishing part and realize I f up a part in the model and made something stationary when it is supposed to move :/
May 7, 2015 at 12:49 PM - BryZad: what are you building jb
May 7, 2015 at 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: nothing
May 7, 2015 at 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: @toy that thing looks good. minus the couplers
May 7, 2015 at 12:50 PM - toy: i screwed the base couplers in, but im gonna design hotend so that it can never crash into the bed
May 7, 2015 at 12:50 PM - toy: i know right
May 7, 2015 at 12:50 PM - toy: trust me, that is NOT what i ordered
May 7, 2015 at 12:50 PM - jbigler1986: you should machine a solid coupler
May 7, 2015 at 12:51 PM - toy: once i get my lathe i will
May 7, 2015 at 12:51 PM - Mike Glass: Hey I have the coupler on my cnc
May 7, 2015 at 12:51 PM - BryZad: sorry didn't know toy posted the pic
May 7, 2015 at 12:51 PM - Mike Glass: like its going to effect 2 3/4 pipi ng
May 7, 2015 at 12:51 PM - toy: my fav's ---> http://www.ruland.com/ps_couplings_oldham.asp#about
May 7, 2015 at 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: or even toy's dual z rods
May 7, 2015 at 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: Dont really think that would gain you anything
May 7, 2015 at 12:53 PM - BryZad: I will have to post some update on the shotgun
May 7, 2015 at 12:53 PM - Mike Glass: yea, lets see it
May 7, 2015 at 12:54 PM - Mike Glass: bbl damn meeting
May 7, 2015 at 12:55 PM - jbigler1986: it obviously effects the robo. so probably would have an effect on others as well. maybe not as significant
May 7, 2015 at 12:56 PM - Mike Glass: biggest thing for me was getting them aligned as I still use the HC and would put mine against anyones.
May 7, 2015 at 12:57 PM - Stephen Capistron: if everything is straight and true the couplers are okay
May 7, 2015 at 12:58 PM - Stephen Capistron: if you have a bent rod or a motor that is not aligned properly you are in trouble
May 7, 2015 at 12:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: most of those couplers out there can only handle 0.2mm of misalignment
May 7, 2015 at 12:59 PM - jbigler1986: it's also something that needs more attention than what it's worth
May 7, 2015 at 1:00 PM - daniel871: Are there any Z-axis stabilizers that actually do anything for the R1? I've tried a couple variations from Thingiverse and they always make the X-axis go out of level as the machine moves in the Z-direction.
May 7, 2015 at 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: upgrade and don't have to worry about it anymore. that was my main reason for upgrading. i'm sure i could have gotten the couplers to work fine. didn't want to spend the time on it just to have to fix it again later on
May 7, 2015 at 1:01 PM - daniel871: That is, they cause one of the threaded rods to turn slower than the other.
May 7, 2015 at 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: to much tension on the threaded rods
May 7, 2015 at 1:02 PM - daniel871: Is there a version that actually works without doing that?
May 7, 2015 at 1:04 PM - Bill Monroe: gads
May 7, 2015 at 1:05 PM - daniel871: Tried the one that uses M8 nuts to ride on the threaded rod (supposed to be installed directly on top of the carriage according to the pics on Thingiverse), which worked as horribly as you'd expect. Then the "clip on" version that just clips to the solid rod and then clips to the threaded rod, but that one was even worse.
May 7, 2015 at 1:05 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 1:06 PM - daniel871: This was the first one: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:515365
May 7, 2015 at 1:06 PM - Bill Monroe: getting straight screws, printing a couple with the right dimensions, an securing the top of the 8mm smooth rods to the cover will get you about as close as you can get
May 7, 2015 at 1:06 PM - Bill Monroe: but I'm doing jb's mods now
May 7, 2015 at 1:07 PM - Bill Monroe: cuz I said I would if he could print a nut that worked
May 7, 2015 at 1:08 PM - Bill Monroe: I dont realy think I'm going to see much improvement over what I've done already, but I do like the look, anbd I have the screws so, wh not?
May 7, 2015 at 1:08 PM - Bill Monroe: rtoo bad it wont improve my typing
May 7, 2015 at 1:08 PM - Bill Monroe:
May 7, 2015 at 1:08 PM - daniel871: The smooth rods are already secured on the R1
May 7, 2015 at 1:08 PM - daniel871: It's the threaded ones that wave around everywhere.
May 7, 2015 at 1:09 PM - Bill Monroe: you're taking about that little racetrack ridge on the cover?
May 7, 2015 at 1:09 PM - daniel871: No.
May 7, 2015 at 1:10 PM - daniel871: This is the second "stabilizer" I tried. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:587583
May 7, 2015 at 1:10 PM - Bill Monroe: ok, I have an R1, and that's all there way.. I made a plug that fit into that racetrack and put an 8mm hole in it for the rod.. tight and secure
May 7, 2015 at 1:10 PM - daniel871: You can see a better image of what I'm trying to do on that one.
May 7, 2015 at 1:11 PM - Bill Monroe: anything that doesnt hold that 8mm rod straight and tight isnt good enough
May 7, 2015 at 1:12 PM - Bill Monroe: repplace the screws if they're not already, make couplers that fit the motor shaft and screw properly and call it a machine
May 7, 2015 at 1:12 PM - daniel871: The smooth rod is already secured and straight. It's the threaded rod that is moving about.
May 7, 2015 at 1:12 PM - Bill Monroe: or, do jb's mods.. cuz it's nice
May 7, 2015 at 1:12 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 1:13 PM - daniel871: The base of the threaded rod appears to be secured, but the further you move away from the bed the more trouble the stepper motors seem to have moving up and down.
May 7, 2015 at 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: yeah bill the smooth rods have a hole molded into the case to secure them now
May 7, 2015 at 1:13 PM - Bill Monroe: screw wobble isnt bad it the rod is secure.. be nice not to have but that's not the root cause
May 7, 2015 at 1:13 PM - Bill Monroe: a round hole?
May 7, 2015 at 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: yep
May 7, 2015 at 1:13 PM - Bill Monroe: nice.. that's basically waht I did with my plugs
May 7, 2015 at 1:14 PM - Bill Monroe: that, and making properly fitting couplers fixed all my z problems
May 7, 2015 at 1:14 PM - Bill Monroe: Ziggy's paper wasprobley fine for older machines
May 7, 2015 at 1:14 PM - jbigler1986: yeah i just didn't want to screw with the couplers at all
May 7, 2015 at 1:15 PM - Bill Monroe: i get it.. I left mine in until I took the machine apart for another reason, which has now arrived
May 7, 2015 at 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: interesting
May 7, 2015 at 1:15 PM - daniel871: You mean this thread? http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...more-couplers-instructions-not-finished.5083/
May 7, 2015 at 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: yeah that's mine. i will finish it as soon as i can
May 7, 2015 at 1:16 PM - Bill Monroe: yup
May 7, 2015 at 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: need to make a few firmware edits as well
May 7, 2015 at 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: well 1 is only needed. the other is optional
May 7, 2015 at 1:16 PM - Bill Monroe: all the probs I've been having are realted to the Chimera and bowden.. so, I'm going back to direct with a single V6
May 7, 2015 at 1:17 PM - Bill Monroe: and wait till I build the big machine to have dual
May 7, 2015 at 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: did you make a new carriage?
May 7, 2015 at 1:17 PM - Bill Monroe: I did but...
May 7, 2015 at 1:18 PM - Bill Monroe: some unrelated things have changed.. I need to take an efficient path to the goal so, the carriage will sit on the shelf
May 7, 2015 at 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: so just using stock then?
May 7, 2015 at 1:20 PM - Bill Monroe: kinda.. V6 nozzle though, your Z screws creation.. etc
May 7, 2015 at 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: i meant stock carriage
May 7, 2015 at 1:21 PM - Bill Monroe: ya
May 7, 2015 at 1:21 PM - Bill Monroe: i really hate that silly belt attachment method..
May 7, 2015 at 1:23 PM - jbigler1986: yeah it's annoying
May 7, 2015 at 1:24 PM - Bill Monroe: jb, the new machine is basically identical to my old Strat Prodigy, only bigger and usaing a dual X carriage
May 7, 2015 at 1:25 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm going to use the old printers heated blowers to heat the enclosure, so I can use your favorite filament
May 7, 2015 at 1:25 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 1:26 PM - Bill Monroe: yup. that's it.. I actually gave those guys a drive image and all the strat software so they could get running
May 7, 2015 at 1:27 PM - Bill Monroe: they got it broken from some college
May 7, 2015 at 1:27 PM - jbigler1986: nice
May 7, 2015 at 1:27 PM - Bill Monroe: strat no longer even admits they exists.. materials are exhausted..
May 7, 2015 at 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: does it use pellets?
May 7, 2015 at 1:28 PM - Bill Monroe: they used a special compound for the filaments, they controlled the manufacture
May 7, 2015 at 1:28 PM - Bill Monroe: no.. it looks like typcial ABS, but it's not..
May 7, 2015 at 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: damn them
May 7, 2015 at 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: so spool fed?
May 7, 2015 at 1:29 PM - Bill Monroe: they controlled every single step in the process.. that's why they make perfect prints
May 7, 2015 at 1:29 PM - Bill Monroe: spools inside of cartridges packed with dessicant and a chip to monito levels
May 7, 2015 at 1:29 PM - jbigler1986: kinda like the cube (i think the cube does that)

 

May 7, 2015 at 1:29 PM - Bill Monroe: have you ever used a stratasys machines?
May 7, 2015 at 1:30 PM - jbigler1986: never even seen one
May 7, 2015 at 1:30 PM - Bill Monroe: well come on over
May 7, 2015 at 1:31 PM - Bill Monroe: hang on, I made some parts overnight, I'll snap a pic
May 7, 2015 at 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: lol. if i was close i would

May 7, 2015 at 1:32 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: looks like it's time to build a mini atx
May 7, 2015 at 1:34 PM - Bill Monroe: it's probably just as well, you use it once and you'll go home and take a sledge to a robo
May 7, 2015 at 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: i believe it. should be a load file, click start process with how much they cost
May 7, 2015 at 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: what is the build volume
May 7, 2015 at 1:37 PM - Bill Monroe: 16X14X14
May 7, 2015 at 1:37 PM - Bill Monroe: polycarbonate filament
May 7, 2015 at 1:37 PM - Bill Monroe: parts are crazy strong
May 7, 2015 at 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: you have that at your house?
May 7, 2015 at 1:38 PM - Bill Monroe: i use it a lot to make actualy parts instead of machining
May 7, 2015 at 1:38 PM - Bill Monroe: this one is in the lab
May 7, 2015 at 1:38 PM - Bill Monroe: the prodigy and robo are in my home lab
May 7, 2015 at 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: that's the one i was talking about
May 7, 2015 at 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: how much did that run you
May 7, 2015 at 1:40 PM - Bill Monroe: it was just north of 100K 3 years ago
May 7, 2015 at 1:40 PM - Bill Monroe: but that's the moutain of cartridges, service agreements, etc.. too
May 7, 2015 at 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: how did you manage to scoop that up
May 7, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Bill Monroe:
May 7, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Bill Monroe: you whip out a checkbook
May 7, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Bill Monroe: it's aready paid for itself
May 7, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Bill Monroe: all the white parts an the nearside of the bench were made at the same time
May 7, 2015 at 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: those look horrible. jk. look awesome
May 7, 2015 at 1:43 PM - Bill Monroe:
May 7, 2015 at 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: get color choices or do they need painted/dyed for that
May 7, 2015 at 1:48 PM - Bill Monroe: i think there's 8 colors available.. I have black too
May 7, 2015 at 1:48 PM - Bill Monroe: never tried dye
May 7, 2015 at 1:49 PM - Bill Monroe: I use ot for prototyping and making tooling/fixture parts.. it's a politially correct machine.. color is not an issue
May 7, 2015 at 1:49 PM - jbigler1986: i was just curious
May 7, 2015 at 1:49 PM - jbigler1986: how long before the z upgrade is done
May 7, 2015 at 1:50 PM - Bill Monroe: few days, by the end of the weekend I hope
May 7, 2015 at 1:51 PM - Bill Monroe: one of my sons is moving back in with me (at my invitation) with his fiance'.. i've got a lot to do before he gets here
May 7, 2015 at 1:52 PM - Bill Monroe: i need to get the robo back into shape, i know he'll be all over it when he gets here
May 7, 2015 at 1:53 PM - Bill Monroe: oh, by the way.. Donel finished her design for the concrete "cold section"
May 7, 2015 at 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: nice
May 7, 2015 at 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: is that the intern
May 7, 2015 at 1:54 PM - Bill Monroe: very
May 7, 2015 at 1:54 PM - Bill Monroe: and the design is good too
May 7, 2015 at 1:54 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. the one reason everyone else her is jealous
May 7, 2015 at 1:54 PM - Bill Monroe: here
May 7, 2015 at 1:55 PM - toy: how do i add a pic without imgur?
May 7, 2015 at 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: copy the link url
May 7, 2015 at 1:55 PM - Bill Monroe: you need to have it hosted *somewhere*
May 7, 2015 at 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: imgur is just the easiest
May 7, 2015 at 1:55 PM - toy: the shotbox doesnt host it?
May 7, 2015 at 1:55 PM - Bill Monroe: nope
May 7, 2015 at 1:56 PM - toy: how are you getting your images to show up in the shout box then bill?
May 7, 2015 at 1:56 PM - jbigler1986: upload to imgur. get the url. then click the media box and add the url
May 7, 2015 at 1:57 PM - Bill Monroe: you use the image tool to the right of the window where you enter your text, the cut/past the link into it
May 7, 2015 at 1:57 PM - toy: ah
May 7, 2015 at 1:57 PM - toy: i really never noticed "that" corner ... thx

May 7, 2015 at 2:00 PM - Bill Monroe: ok.. i'm about to pull the trigger on one..
May 7, 2015 at 2:01 PM - Bill Monroe: I have a Tree UVR that I automated years ago.. but I'm looking forward to moving it
May 7, 2015 at 2:01 PM - toy: i think u would be better off retro fitting a older vertical mill
May 7, 2015 at 2:02 PM - Bill Monroe: been there.. done that
May 7, 2015 at 2:02 PM - toy: or building one from the ground up
May 7, 2015 at 2:02 PM - Bill Monroe: wait.. i'm NOT looking forward to it
May 7, 2015 at 2:04 PM - Bill Monroe: oh that's right.. you're building a mini xy table for the wells, yes?
May 7, 2015 at 2:04 PM - toy: tormach is like 10k if not more
May 7, 2015 at 2:04 PM - Bill Monroe: 15K with tool changer
May 7, 2015 at 2:04 PM - toy: fuxx me
May 7, 2015 at 2:04 PM - toy: how much for the 4th axis?
May 7, 2015 at 2:04 PM - Bill Monroe: that's counting it
May 7, 2015 at 2:05 PM - Bill Monroe: but I may pass on it for now. I dont have a use for it that I can see
May 7, 2015 at 2:05 PM - toy: 15k is a lot of money
May 7, 2015 at 2:05 PM - Bill Monroe: my time is worth more
May 7, 2015 at 2:05 PM - toy: im not even sure what kind of tolerances it can hold
May 7, 2015 at 2:05 PM - Bill Monroe: i've spent my life automating things.. I wanna make stuff now
May 7, 2015 at 2:06 PM - Bill Monroe: the mkaer place near me has one.. I've used it a fair bit.. works great
May 7, 2015 at 2:07 PM - toy: lol im design an auto dog poop scooper machine, basicly about 15' x 3' x 1' full or dirt , with a rake that is on a track to scoop all the poop to one side
May 7, 2015 at 2:07 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm especially impressed with it's fine work.. I make control yoke badges for my plane that my wife cloisenned.. wait.. I dunno how to spell it
May 7, 2015 at 2:07 PM - toy: which will go on the side of the house
May 7, 2015 at 2:07 PM - bamhm182: Hey guys
May 7, 2015 at 2:07 PM - Bill Monroe: cloisenn.. argh.. hangon
May 7, 2015 at 2:08 PM - Bill Monroe: cloisonne'd
May 7, 2015 at 2:08 PM - toy: what is a control yoke badge?
May 7, 2015 at 2:09 PM - Bill Monroe: the world will beat a path to your door if you design a better pooper scooper
May 7, 2015 at 2:09 PM - donhuevo: and is cloisonning the same as covering it with rhinestones?
May 7, 2015 at 2:09 PM - Bill Monroe: it's the decorative emblem.. you see high-end badges made that way.. brass backing an ceramic enamels
May 7, 2015 at 2:10 PM - toy: fancy
May 7, 2015 at 2:10 PM - donhuevo: shmancy

 

May 7, 2015 at 2:10 PM - Bill Monroe: in 1959 they sere silk screened.. none exist anymore
May 7, 2015 at 2:11 PM - toy: after i make my first billion.... i will get a g5 =)
May 7, 2015 at 2:11 PM - Bill Monroe: I found some good pics and made a brass backing routing out the color areas.. she filled them with ceramic enamels, then you fire it.. last a lifetime and look really expensive
May 7, 2015 at 2:11 PM - donhuevo: still needs some rhinestones
May 7, 2015 at 2:11 PM - Bill Monroe: naw.. G5 is for paupers.. you want a Global Express
May 7, 2015 at 2:12 PM - Bill Monroe: ok, I'll go ahead and bedazzle it too
May 7, 2015 at 2:12 PM - toy: u like the honda jet?
May 7, 2015 at 2:12 PM - Bill Monroe: fuck that pile a jap junk
May 7, 2015 at 2:13 PM - toy: it looks pretty nice u have to admit
May 7, 2015 at 2:13 PM - Bill Monroe: jets get a lot of engine maintenance.. can you image what it's going to take a mechanic to work on that abomination without dropping a wrench on that over-priced wing???
May 7, 2015 at 2:14 PM - toy: plastic 3d printer wrenches.... bam!!
May 7, 2015 at 2:14 PM - Bill Monroe: they said the did it to 1, limit FOD and 2, reduce noise.. ha! the exhaust is coming out right at the same level as PAX
May 7, 2015 at 2:14 PM - toy: PAX?
May 7, 2015 at 2:14 PM - Bill Monroe: passengers
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Bill Monroe: sorry.. pilot speak snuck in there
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - toy: i know what fod is
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Bill Monroe: <hi-5>
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - donhuevo: was it the fetzer valve?
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Bill Monroe: must be ex military
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Bill Monroe: it's under the framulator don
May 7, 2015 at 2:15 PM - toy: lol
May 7, 2015 at 2:16 PM - donhuevo: yeah, it's all ball bearings these days
May 7, 2015 at 2:16 PM - toy: if i could fly any plane... it would probably be an a10
May 7, 2015 at 2:16 PM - Bill Monroe: made from ceramicized manganuminum
May 7, 2015 at 2:16 PM - Bill Monroe: A10 is awesome
May 7, 2015 at 2:17 PM - toy: whoever taught an f35 could replace an a10 in close air support is smoking rocks
May 7, 2015 at 2:17 PM - toy: thought..
May 7, 2015 at 2:17 PM - Bill Monroe: agreed
May 7, 2015 at 2:18 PM - Mike Kelly: you can edit now
May 7, 2015 at 2:18 PM - Bill Monroe: honeslty, I think some backroom deals with contractors were done.. a lot of corruption took over
May 7, 2015 at 2:19 PM - toy: f35 is gonna end up being more than than a raptor
May 7, 2015 at 2:19 PM - Bill Monroe: i've seen the marine version though.. it's pretty awesome
May 7, 2015 at 2:20 PM - toy: my biggest complaint on the f35 is how the hell do see behind u
May 7, 2015 at 2:20 PM - Mike Kelly: AR
May 7, 2015 at 2:20 PM - Bill Monroe: dont need to
May 7, 2015 at 2:21 PM - toy: like the same guy how said we dont need any guns, dogfighting is a thing of the psst
May 7, 2015 at 2:21 PM - toy: who
May 7, 2015 at 2:22 PM - Bill Monroe: naval jet jocks started that talk...
May 7, 2015 at 2:22 PM - Bill Monroe: there's not much flying around now that you can take out with guns
May 7, 2015 at 2:23 PM - Bill Monroe: everything now is fire from over the horizon and run like hell..
May 7, 2015 at 2:23 PM - Bill Monroe: if you need to get in close.. send a predator
May 7, 2015 at 2:24 PM - toy: did u ever here about how the russians where tryn to use plasma as a cloaking device
May 7, 2015 at 2:25 PM - toy: surround the entire plane in plasma... and u get no radar return
May 7, 2015 at 2:25 PM - bamhm182: Haha, that sounds safe
May 7, 2015 at 2:26 PM - Bill Monroe: it's not practical, but it does work
May 7, 2015 at 2:27 PM - Bill Monroe: I like the wing shaping tech..
May 7, 2015 at 2:31 PM - toy: lol...im tryn to find a prgoam to calculate einsteins field equations.... i want to know how much my body distorts local space/time
May 7, 2015 at 2:43 PM - donhuevo: would that change during daylight savings time?
May 7, 2015 at 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: only in arizona
May 7, 2015 at 2:44 PM - donhuevo: right... area 51
May 7, 2015 at 2:44 PM - donhuevo: wait...
May 7, 2015 at 2:45 PM - donhuevo: that's Nevada
May 7, 2015 at 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: right
May 7, 2015 at 2:45 PM - toy: local space time
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - donhuevo: Albequerque is where Bugs Bunny was always tunneling to
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - donhuevo: shit
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - donhuevo: wrong state again
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: taking a wrong turn at
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: also lol
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - donhuevo: on his way to Arizona no doubt
May 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: geography is don's achilles heal
May 7, 2015 at 2:47 PM - donhuevo: totally
May 7, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/g7RyUL9.gifv O_O
May 7, 2015 at 2:56 PM - donhuevo: perfect height
May 7, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i want to know where the engine goes
May 7, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess into the cabin
May 7, 2015 at 2:57 PM - donhuevo: I'm thinking they pulled the engine before they launched it.
May 7, 2015 at 2:57 PM - donhuevo: but otherwise yeah, it becomes the seat
May 7, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: seems like it would defeat the test purpose if they pulled it
May 7, 2015 at 2:59 PM - donhuevo: just saw it. It hits the ground
May 7, 2015 at 3:00 PM - donhuevo: so I'm staring at this tiny little solenoid. Looked bigger in your videos
May 7, 2015 at 3:00 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah my carriage is small
May 7, 2015 at 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: though i guess it's the same as yours
May 7, 2015 at 3:02 PM - donhuevo: I've got some thinking to do
May 7, 2015 at 3:02 PM - Mike Kelly: lemme know if you want me to mail you a few leaf springs
May 7, 2015 at 3:02 PM - Mike Kelly: they take forever to get from china
May 7, 2015 at 3:03 PM - donhuevo: I will definitely let you know.
May 7, 2015 at 3:09 PM - Drew Eby: quick question. I was printing something near the maximum build height and now my x motor is not working properly. It started doing the grind noise so I cancelled the print. It slides perfectly by hand, but when trying to use the motor it grinds. Any Ideas?
May 7, 2015 at 3:10 PM - Mike Kelly: uh is it stuck on something?
May 7, 2015 at 3:10 PM - Mike Kelly: wait you said you can move it
May 7, 2015 at 3:10 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm
May 7, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: that's tricky, if the belts not skipping it could be isolated to the stepper motor
May 7, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Drew Eby: yes, it slides by hand no resistance. With the motor on it does and skipping grind and doesn't move much
May 7, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: got spare zip ties?
May 7, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Bill Monroe: Did you lower it back down?
May 7, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Drew Eby: yes i lowered it after the print.
May 7, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Bill Monroe: k
May 7, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Drew Eby: I might have some zip ties, but the belt doesn't seem to be skipping
May 7, 2015 at 3:13 PM - Mike Kelly: i was gonna see if you could remove the belt and see if the motor moves normally without a belt on
May 7, 2015 at 3:13 PM - jbigler1986: Back
May 7, 2015 at 3:13 PM - Mike Kelly: otherwise it could be the stepper driver and i don't feel like opening that can of worms yet'
May 7, 2015 at 3:14 PM - Drew Eby: okay i can try that
May 7, 2015 at 3:15 PM - Drew Eby: removed the band. It is definitely in the stepper motor.
May 7, 2015 at 3:15 PM - Mike Kelly: ok let's try this, swap the connector on the ramps for the X and Y
May 7, 2015 at 3:15 PM - Mike Kelly: then tell both to move
May 7, 2015 at 3:15 PM - Mike Kelly: does it still misbehave?
May 7, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Drew Eby: yes the original x motor, now "Y motor" is skipping still
May 7, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Mike Kelly: ok so the motor works on the Y driver?
May 7, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Drew Eby: yes
May 7, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Mike Kelly: ok so we've isolated the issue to the driver

 

May 7, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Mike Kelly: swap it back around and let's try tuning it
May 7, 2015 at 3:20 PM - Mike Kelly: if you're comfortable with that
May 7, 2015 at 3:20 PM - Drew Eby: wait. isolated it to the driver or the motor. or are those interchangable here
May 7, 2015 at 3:20 PM - Mike Kelly: the driver is a chip on the RAMPS board
May 7, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Drew Eby: okay i believe its the motor itself. I swapped the connections to the ramps board. The x that was having trouble is now connected to the y port. and vice versa. The same original x motor is still messing up
May 7, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Drew Eby: the y direction still travels fine on the bed
May 7, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: ah ok
May 7, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Drew Eby: that was my bad
May 7, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: so the X motor still misbehaves regardless of where it's connected, correct?
May 7, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Drew Eby: yes
May 7, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: how old is your printer
May 7, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Drew Eby: about a year old. it is one of the beta printers before auto leveling
May 7, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: gotcha
May 7, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Drew Eby: but this is the first time it has had trouble. I'm not sure if it had something to do with the height of the build
May 7, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: i think buying a new motor is your best option unfortunately
May 7, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: it could be a spun bearing in the motor
May 7, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Drew Eby: okay that sucks, but thank you for your help mike
May 7, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Mike Kelly: and just to confirm further when you plugged the Y motor into the X slot, you were able to move it?
May 7, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Drew Eby: yes it worked fine
May 7, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Mike Kelly: ok then it's def the motor
May 7, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Mike Kelly: luckily they're decently cheap
May 7, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Drew Eby: yea 20$ isn't to bad. Thanks for the help

May 7, 2015 at 3:29 PM - Mike Glass: one more day......
May 7, 2015 at 3:29 PM - Mike Glass: oh now its time to go home..
May 7, 2015 at 3:31 PM - jbigler1986: about to print the bolt at .05
May 7, 2015 at 3:32 PM - jbigler1986: then i will print benchy
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm i need a 1mm allen wrench i think
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - jbigler1986: for?
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: finally starting to put together the transmission
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: and it uses a bunch of m2.5
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - jbigler1986: 1 hour 26 minutes for benchy
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: sounds about right
May 7, 2015 at 3:41 PM - jbigler1986: will start it and stream it in about 30. gonna use yellow so you can see it
May 7, 2015 at 3:48 PM - jbigler1986: do you have everything printed for that
May 7, 2015 at 3:50 PM - Mike Kelly: transmission is done but the engine i've only printed the big parts
May 7, 2015 at 3:53 PM - jbigler1986: transmission just needs put together?
May 7, 2015 at 3:54 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah and i need to cut the drive shafts to legnth
May 7, 2015 at 3:54 PM - Mike Kelly: or ask my machinist
May 7, 2015 at 3:55 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm installing all the nuts and set screw right now
May 7, 2015 at 3:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: i was skimming, that guys plug on the x motor could have come loose when it was at full extension
May 7, 2015 at 3:55 PM - Mike Kelly: we swapped connections so i don't think that's the case
May 7, 2015 at 3:56 PM - Stephen Capistron: swap connections at the board though so if it is the motor end ...
May 7, 2015 at 3:56 PM - Mike Kelly: older printers don't have connectors
May 7, 2015 at 3:56 PM - Stephen Capistron: oh, nevermind then
May 7, 2015 at 3:57 PM - Stephen Capistron: i just remember the first time i pulled the whole x axis off i got to the top and jerked the plug right out of the motor
May 7, 2015 at 4:07 PM - jbigler1986: mike did you get the filament
May 7, 2015 at 4:21 PM - bamhm182: I wanted a way to have my printer circle the area it was going to print a couple times before homing, then pausing, so I created a vbs that copies the skirt code, puts it at the very beginning so it isn't actually extracting yet, then traces it, homes, and pauses.
May 7, 2015 at 4:21 PM - bamhm182: I'm not able to test it because my printer is currently 23% through a 10 hour or so print, but it should work. Anyone want it?
May 7, 2015 at 4:22 PM - bamhm182: You just double click the .vbs, it opens a file browser, you select the file (Ex: C:\Text.gcode) and it makes a new file (Ex: C:\Text_New.gcode)
May 7, 2015 at 4:22 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 4:22 PM - jbigler1986: Shaxon can do it too
May 7, 2015 at 4:23 PM - bamhm182: Shaxon can do what?
May 7, 2015 at 4:24 PM - jbigler1986: print the bolt
May 7, 2015 at 4:24 PM - jbigler1986: at .08 layer height
May 7, 2015 at 4:25 PM - bamhm182: What/Who is Shaxon?
May 7, 2015 at 4:25 PM - jbigler1986: cheap frys filament
May 7, 2015 at 4:26 PM - bamhm182: Gotcha
May 7, 2015 at 4:26 PM - bamhm182: Looks good
May 7, 2015 at 4:26 PM - TechSupportGo: my bolts keep pulling apart when I hit like 2flbs should I be printing them sideways?
May 7, 2015 at 4:27 PM - bamhm182: Oh, by the way, I took your advice to add in a M0 before the line I needed it to stop at to toss the nut in. Saved my ass, because I totally would have missed my chance if I didn't do it
May 7, 2015 at 4:30 PM - jbigler1986: i help when i can
May 7, 2015 at 4:32 PM - jbigler1986: benchy time ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
May 7, 2015 at 4:32 PM - Mike Kelly: sure did, thanks much
May 7, 2015 at 4:33 PM - jbigler1986: np
May 7, 2015 at 4:36 PM - jbigler1986: didn't know there were letters on the bottom
May 7, 2015 at 4:38 PM - Mike Kelly: Yes indeedy
May 7, 2015 at 4:38 PM - jbigler1986: well passed that test. lol
May 7, 2015 at 4:43 PM - bamhm182: What're you printing jb? The boat?
May 7, 2015 at 4:43 PM - jbigler1986: yep
May 7, 2015 at 4:43 PM - bamhm182: Nice
May 7, 2015 at 4:43 PM - bamhm182: I want to print one just because it looks cool
May 7, 2015 at 4:44 PM - jbigler1986: i like that it's a good test and my kids will like it
May 7, 2015 at 4:44 PM - bamhm182: Same reason I printed a Rocktopus a while back when lulzbot had a contest for the coolest "scene" involving a Rocktopus. I use it as a hood emblem on my car now.
May 7, 2015 at 4:46 PM - Mike Kelly: But will it float?
May 7, 2015 at 4:47 PM - jbigler1986: shall we find out afterwards
May 7, 2015 at 4:50 PM - Mike Glass: You drive a vw Bam?
May 7, 2015 at 4:51 PM - Mike Glass: floats like a turd
May 7, 2015 at 4:55 PM - bamhm182: No, I've got a Honda
May 7, 2015 at 4:55 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 7, 2015 at 4:55 PM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18379
May 7, 2015 at 4:55 PM - bamhm182: Can I get someone to sanity check me real quick
May 7, 2015 at 4:56 PM - bamhm182: Look at any of the STLs of the main body, there's a few layers where holes are supposed to be, does that make sense to anyone?
May 7, 2015 at 4:57 PM - bamhm182: The most obvious example is where the hobbed bolt goes. There's supposed to be a hole, but he filled it for some reason
May 7, 2015 at 4:57 PM - Mike Glass: what slicer you looking at it in
May 7, 2015 at 4:58 PM - bamhm182: I've looked at it in Blender, S3D, and the Thingiview on Thingiverse
May 7, 2015 at 4:59 PM - bamhm182: I'm going through and removing them in Blender now, but I'm just curious as to why they're there if they're going to be removed in post-processing. Seems like it would make sense to just not include it in the first place
May 7, 2015 at 5:00 PM - Mike Glass: hmm that is strange
May 7, 2015 at 5:01 PM - Mike Glass: maybe for support
May 7, 2015 at 5:03 PM - bamhm182: But it's meant to be printed laying down so those are all parallel with the bed
May 7, 2015 at 5:03 PM - bamhm182: I could see if it was meant to be printed so the outlet was on bottom, but I don't get it
May 7, 2015 at 5:04 PM - bamhm182: Actually, maybe that's it. Maybe he originally planned on printing it in that orientation
May 7, 2015 at 5:06 PM - Mike Glass: the way it is on thingiverse is the correct printing orientation
May 7, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Mike Kelly: alright i think the robo's repaired and ready to start printing
May 7, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Mike Kelly: jb's filament showed up just in time, no way do i have enough for all the blocks i need to print
May 7, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Mike Glass: do or did?
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Kelly: did
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Kelly: i do now
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Glass: ABS?
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Glass: or AFnS

 

May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Kelly: abs yes
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Glass: ha
May 7, 2015 at 5:10 PM - Mike Kelly: AB<3S
May 7, 2015 at 5:11 PM - Mike Glass: Did you get the pink?
May 7, 2015 at 5:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i've had that
May 7, 2015 at 5:13 PM - Mike Glass: had or have...lol
May 7, 2015 at 5:13 PM - bamhm182: haha
May 7, 2015 at 5:13 PM - Mike Kelly: both?
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i've got it in PLA and ABS
May 7, 2015 at 5:14 PM - Mike Kelly: because i'm cool like that
May 7, 2015 at 5:25 PM - jbigler1986: Says who
May 7, 2015 at 5:28 PM - jbigler1986: Need to turn down the brightness. 1 sec
May 7, 2015 at 5:29 PM - jbigler1986: Is that better?
May 7, 2015 at 5:31 PM - bamhm182: So I'm thinking about adding a box between the greg's wade and the bowden coupler that I could toss some cotton in
May 7, 2015 at 5:31 PM - bamhm182: Thoughts?
May 7, 2015 at 5:31 PM - bamhm182: For an oiler
May 7, 2015 at 5:32 PM - jbigler1986: Just print an oiler. There are lots out there
May 7, 2015 at 5:32 PM - jbigler1986: Oh wait. Nevermind
May 7, 2015 at 5:33 PM - bamhm182: Hold on, let me whip this up and then I'll upload a picture real quick
May 7, 2015 at 5:35 PM - jbigler1986: X shifted a tiny tiny bit. Need to check belts. Haven't in a while
May 7, 2015 at 5:37 PM - bamhm182:
May 7, 2015 at 5:37 PM - bamhm182: Something like that, so it passes through the wade, goes into the box/through oil'd cotton, then goes into the bowden tube
May 7, 2015 at 5:38 PM - bamhm182: I'd make it a bit more cone shaped at the bottom so it's easier for the filament to find the exit hole, but you get the idea
May 7, 2015 at 5:39 PM - jbigler1986: How are you securing the bowden adapter on greg's Wade?
May 7, 2015 at 5:42 PM - bamhm182: I'm planning on having it screw in
May 7, 2015 at 5:43 PM - jbigler1986: How would that work with that oiler
May 7, 2015 at 5:44 PM - bamhm182: I should have explained
May 7, 2015 at 5:44 PM - bamhm182: That Cylinder at the very bottom is supposed to be the bowden adapter
May 7, 2015 at 6:00 PM - bamhm182:
May 7, 2015 at 6:00 PM - bamhm182: Blue part would be the bowden coupler
May 7, 2015 at 6:00 PM - bamhm182: *adapter
May 7, 2015 at 6:04 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - bamhm182: Didn't show up
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - bamhm182: Nice!
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - jbigler1986: Not very happy with it
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - bamhm182: Did you have to do any post work on it?
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - jbigler1986: Did touch it
May 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM - jbigler1986: Didn't
May 7, 2015 at 6:06 PM - bamhm182: Looks good then, imo
May 7, 2015 at 6:06 PM - bamhm182: why aren't you happy with it?
May 7, 2015 at 6:06 PM - jbigler1986: 1 sec
May 7, 2015 at 6:11 PM - jbigler1986:
May 7, 2015 at 6:12 PM - jbigler1986: Looks rough. Little x shift as well
May 7, 2015 at 6:13 PM - jbigler1986: Gonna tighten the belt and try in s3d
May 7, 2015 at 6:13 PM - jbigler1986: That was cura
May 7, 2015 at 6:17 PM - Droid: is simplified3d worth the investment?thinkin bout gettin it
May 7, 2015 at 6:17 PM - Bill Monroe: I dont use anything else
May 7, 2015 at 6:18 PM - Bill Monroe: once I crossed into the light, my prints improved dramatically, especially when using rafts and supports.
May 7, 2015 at 6:18 PM - Bill Monroe: I wont go back to the dark side
May 7, 2015 at 6:19 PM - bamhm182: I love Simplify3D
May 7, 2015 at 6:20 PM - Bill Monroe: bam practices Simplyphilia
May 7, 2015 at 6:20 PM - bamhm182: The way I saw it, this is a hobby I'm not going to stop doing until I have to. That means that I'm going to be using a certain set of programs a lot. One of which is the slicer, so I might as well have a really good one even if it does cost a lot
May 7, 2015 at 6:20 PM - bamhm182: Haha, DON'T JUDGE ME!
May 7, 2015 at 6:21 PM - Bill Monroe: just callin it like I see it
May 7, 2015 at 6:22 PM - bamhm182: Additionally, the only thing that I can think of that I've wanted a slicer to do that Simplify3D does is something that no slicer does and that I wrote a script to do for me, so it doesn't matter
May 7, 2015 at 6:22 PM - bamhm182: Basically wanted it to generate gcode that traces the area where it is going to lay the skirt, then homes, allowing me to watch it, and place glue exactly where it needs to go
May 7, 2015 at 6:23 PM - Bill Monroe: i like how you can put conditional calls in the script generator.. that'll come in REAL handy on my big machine
May 7, 2015 at 6:23 PM - bamhm182: Wait, you can do that? I need to have a look at that
May 7, 2015 at 6:23 PM - Stephen Capistron: a common practice with laser cutters is to use a "fake" red laser to show where the part is going to be cut out of
May 7, 2015 at 6:23 PM - Bill Monroe: and it has superior control over layer changes and sequential printing
May 7, 2015 at 6:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: Attach a small 12V laser to the X carriage and have it trigger from one of the spare outputs on the arduino
May 7, 2015 at 6:25 PM - bamhm182: That would be pretty sweet
May 7, 2015 at 6:25 PM - bamhm182: I really want to do that now, haha
May 7, 2015 at 6:25 PM - Bill Monroe: ya bam.. like you can tell it if the last tool that was being used is tool0, thn do something
May 7, 2015 at 6:25 PM - bamhm182: Man, I'm going to need more than 8-pins to the hotend...
May 7, 2015 at 6:26 PM - Bill Monroe: crap, I just cropdust the whole surface with hairspray
May 7, 2015 at 6:26 PM - bamhm182: That's pretty cool, I feel like there's a lot you could do with conditions in there
May 7, 2015 at 6:26 PM - Bill Monroe: hold both the part AND my couif
May 7, 2015 at 6:27 PM - jbigler1986: Retrying this print.
May 7, 2015 at 6:27 PM - Droid: what iterests me about s3d is the manual support feature, im printing up a bunch of the same pieces right now and am getting away with no support, the slicers ive used dont ad the support where it could use it to combat some slight warping in time.
May 7, 2015 at 6:28 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm going to use that to trigger a move to a nozzle cleaning station for a purge and buff before it prints
May 7, 2015 at 6:28 PM - bamhm182: One thing that I love about S3D and what was one of the main reasons I bought it was the support generation and customization
May 7, 2015 at 6:29 PM - Bill Monroe: the support is superior..
May 7, 2015 at 6:29 PM - jbigler1986: I guess I set this to a snails pace for the first layer. Uhhh
May 7, 2015 at 6:29 PM - bamhm182: I was having a very hard time with support in whatever I was using before. It kept sticking to the print and was super difficult to remove. It would also mess up the print where it was connected, but S3D's support usually comes off as I'm taking it off the bed, haha
May 7, 2015 at 6:30 PM - Bill Monroe: ok.. back to homework.. function polymorphism in C++ dear gawd, can I contain the excitement?
May 7, 2015 at 6:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: Bill found a great video of a dual x carriage that just had a couple pipe cleaners attach to the X-idlers so it had something to wipe on
May 7, 2015 at 6:30 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 7, 2015 at 6:31 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, that's awesome, when I grown up I want to be like that machine only with better brushes
May 7, 2015 at 6:32 PM - Bill Monroe: btw.. that's how the strats work.. each time it switches nozzles.. it runs off to the side, purges a little, then wipes across a fine wire brush.. nozzle is always ready
May 7, 2015 at 6:32 PM - Bill Monroe: I want my machine to be so good that jb wants to slap his
May 7, 2015 at 6:33 PM - jbigler1986: Never
May 7, 2015 at 6:33 PM - jbigler1986: I will be glad to see you at that point. Won't have to keep messing with it
May 7, 2015 at 6:33 PM - Bill Monroe: gawd, this professor's real lecture voice is exactly like Ben Steins acting voice
May 7, 2015 at 6:34 PM - Bill Monroe: bueler?? beuler???
May 7, 2015 at 6:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: so you mean ben stein's real voice
May 7, 2015 at 6:34 PM - jbigler1986: That movie is awesome
May 7, 2015 at 6:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: the game show was pretty good
May 7, 2015 at 6:35 PM - jbigler1986: Yes it was. Kinda miss it
May 7, 2015 at 6:36 PM - jbigler1986: Stream is back up
May 7, 2015 at 6:38 PM - bamhm182: I forgot how awesome using both my monitors is
May 7, 2015 at 6:38 PM - bamhm182: I've got an ASUS 27" 144Hz monitor and some off brand 32" TV. I've just been using the ASUS for a while
May 7, 2015 at 6:39 PM - bamhm182: Got jb's stream pulled up on the 32"
May 7, 2015 at 6:40 PM - jbigler1986: Well my stream quality isn't the best
May 7, 2015 at 6:41 PM - bamhm182: It works
May 7, 2015 at 6:41 PM - bamhm182: I need to set up a stream for my printer, especially once I move into a place where I have a garage and the printer is in there
May 7, 2015 at 6:41 PM - bamhm182: First I need to get this damn Kinect working. >_<
May 7, 2015 at 6:42 PM - bamhm182: So jb, when you tried bowden, how exactly did you connect the tube?
May 7, 2015 at 6:42 PM - jbigler1986: To greg's Wade?
