May 18, 2015 10:57 AM - jbigler1986: lol
May 18, 2015 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: god maybe i should take off the afternoon
May 18, 2015 10:58 AM - jbigler1986: it's an L shape. So if someone can't figure it out then they need to go back to bed

May 18, 2015 11:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: Would be nice to be able to press "D" to home
May 18, 2015 11:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: then have A, B, and C be simple G1 commands for the X Y and Z. Have * be for extrude and # be enter
May 18, 2015 11:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: or something along those lines anyways
May 18, 2015 11:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: would need a couple more buttons though to pre heat and such
May 18, 2015 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: TouchScreen
May 18, 2015 11:38 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, wasn't there a kickstarter or indiegog one around
May 18, 2015 11:38 AM - Stephen Capistron: with a 4.3"
May 18, 2015 11:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: button pad is only $3 though
May 18, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: id like a touch screen
May 18, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: and a temp graph
May 18, 2015 11:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: you want a heat printer

May 18, 2015 11:56 AM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if there's any place locally i can get a pin extractor
May 18, 2015 11:56 AM - Mike Kelly: such a dumb reason for a printer to be out of service
May 18, 2015 11:56 AM - toy: like a pin broke off in the connector?
May 18, 2015 11:57 AM - Mike Kelly: no i'm stupid and put the pins on the wrong sides
May 18, 2015 12:00 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/J7Iu7J5.jpg
May 18, 2015 12:00 PM - Mike Glass: DOH
May 18, 2015 12:01 PM - toy: u could probably rip it all apart and reprint the plastic housing? =)
May 18, 2015 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/a/QZpnq this is a fun challenge
May 18, 2015 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: i actually bought 2 connectors but i'd prefer not to destroy it
May 18, 2015 12:27 PM - Mike Kelly: welp definitely not impressed by matterslicers support
May 18, 2015 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: are you surprised
May 18, 2015 12:30 PM - Mike Kelly: works better if the face is flat
May 18, 2015 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: but no shock here
May 18, 2015 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: also still kinda hate PLA
May 18, 2015 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: such a bitch to work with
May 18, 2015 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: i love it
May 18, 2015 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: nice and strong
May 18, 2015 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: but such a pain to post process
May 18, 2015 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: yeah sometimes
May 18, 2015 12:35 PM - jbigler1986: metal files work good on it
May 18, 2015 12:35 PM - Mike Kelly: not as nice as abs
May 18, 2015 12:36 PM - jbigler1986: got me there
May 18, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: Razors work the best on pla then you dont get the milky look
May 18, 2015 12:46 PM - toy: mike how are those bondtechs working?
May 18, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: remember that thing i said about the connector?
May 18, 2015 12:48 PM - toy: ahhh that sucks
May 18, 2015 12:48 PM - toy: hardwire it
May 18, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Kelly: i can wait a couple days
May 18, 2015 12:49 PM - toy: did u mod the resource files for the housing?
May 18, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 18, 2015 12:50 PM - toy: hook me up =)
May 18, 2015 12:51 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm
May 18, 2015 12:51 PM - Mike Kelly: you'd need to ask martin
May 18, 2015 12:51 PM - toy: ?
May 18, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: the creator
May 18, 2015 12:52 PM - toy: ask him what...?
May 18, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: for the files
May 18, 2015 12:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i didn't create them so i don't feel comfortable giving them away
May 18, 2015 12:53 PM - toy: their free?
May 18, 2015 12:54 PM - Mike Kelly: the stl's are but he hasn't publicly released the encosure source file
May 18, 2015 12:55 PM - toy: send me the ones u modded...i dont care about the orginal
May 18, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: still though
May 18, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Glass: Make some money
May 18, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Glass: He" martin " is not opensource.
May 18, 2015 12:55 PM - jbigler1986: $426.64
May 18, 2015 12:56 PM - Mike Kelly: order@bondtech.se
May 18, 2015 12:58 PM - toy: 426$ order???
May 18, 2015 12:59 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm confused
May 18, 2015 12:59 PM - toy: me to
May 18, 2015 12:59 PM - Mike Glass: I need a drink
May 18, 2015 12:59 PM - toy: send me the stl then
May 18, 2015 1:00 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.bondtech.se/stl-files/
May 18, 2015 1:01 PM - toy: i want the mk modded deluxe files
May 18, 2015 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: MG said make some money. So that's what you should charge for the stl MK
May 18, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm not making money off someone elses work
May 18, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Kelly: especially when they could just email them
May 18, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Kelly: also toy they're identical
May 18, 2015 1:02 PM - Mike Kelly: the pushfit files
May 18, 2015 1:02 PM - Mike Glass: He was think you modied yours
May 18, 2015 1:02 PM - toy: i thought u modded the pressfit connector parts
May 18, 2015 1:02 PM - Mike Kelly: he did it as well
May 18, 2015 1:03 PM - jbigler1986: what MG just said. I was just throwing out a random number
May 18, 2015 1:03 PM - toy: getting rid of the embossing on the housing would be nice to...
May 18, 2015 1:13 PM - Mike Glass: thats simple
May 18, 2015 1:14 PM - daniel871: I seem to lose embossing in S3D for some reason on anything that has it on the top layer.
May 18, 2015 1:14 PM - daniel871: At least on the preview it shows it as covering the letters up.
May 18, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: oh it will print
May 18, 2015 1:16 PM - daniel871: Why am I looking at this extruder? Why do I want it?

 

May 18, 2015 1:16 PM - Mike Glass: I just extrude a box over it in SW. then run through netfabb
May 18, 2015 1:16 PM - Mike Glass: You dont want it, its fricken expensive
May 18, 2015 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: it's free
May 18, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: $140 for an extruder, geared stepper and the bondtech parts
May 18, 2015 1:20 PM - daniel871: Who was it that was using one?
May 18, 2015 1:20 PM - Mike Glass: MK
May 18, 2015 1:20 PM - toy: i got 2 enroute
May 18, 2015 1:21 PM - daniel871: I'm daydreaming about a bowden setup with that extruder and printing at crazy fast speeds.
May 18, 2015 1:21 PM - Mike Kelly: that's my goal
May 18, 2015 1:22 PM - daniel871: I wonder at what point you need to increase the temp on the nozzle to keep up with the decreased time the filament spends within it so the flow doesn't screw up.
May 18, 2015 1:22 PM - daniel871: (or how to calculate it)
May 18, 2015 1:23 PM - toy: need to figure out how to lighten the bed
May 18, 2015 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: well the temperature of the nozzle is a function of the required energy to stay at the temperature plus the energy transfer to the filament to raise it's temperature from ambient to nozzle temperature
May 18, 2015 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: what is the max you think you will get it to
May 18, 2015 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: speed
May 18, 2015 1:25 PM - Mike Kelly: well i need to get a better quality 90 print
May 18, 2015 1:25 PM - Mike Glass: Im thinking 100
May 18, 2015 1:25 PM - toy: i can get up to 140mm with just a little loss in print quality
May 18, 2015 1:26 PM - toy: most cases i get a better print the faster i go
May 18, 2015 1:27 PM - Mike Glass: less chance to warp
May 18, 2015 1:27 PM - jbigler1986: can't get a good 90 MK?
May 18, 2015 1:28 PM - toy: the infills lay flat and dont sink whn i run 10-15% density (rectilinear) at high speeds
May 18, 2015 1:28 PM - Mike Kelly: the second benchy i printed had some issues
May 18, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Kelly: might try in some PLA
May 18, 2015 1:29 PM - toy: i remember my printer on the verge of self destruction at 150+
May 18, 2015 1:30 PM - Mike Glass: I ran my plotter on the robo at 200, it did not sound nice..lol
May 18, 2015 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: sound fine at 100. i would be worried going any faster non bowden though
May 18, 2015 1:34 PM - Mike Kelly: honestly i think the bed is the biggest limitation
May 18, 2015 1:34 PM - toy: on my new printer i got a much beefier faster stepper on the y axis
May 18, 2015 1:34 PM - toy: im not sure if it will make a difference
May 18, 2015 1:34 PM - toy: i need a light weight bed
May 18, 2015 1:35 PM - toy: or a diff design with a fixed bed to get above 150 imo
May 18, 2015 1:35 PM - Mike Kelly: the bed weighs like 1.2kg
May 18, 2015 1:35 PM - toy: glaas or acrylic bed?>
May 18, 2015 1:35 PM - Mike Kelly: my model is for glass
May 18, 2015 1:36 PM - toy: im thinking about shaving my acrylic bed down 5 or 6 mm
May 18, 2015 1:41 PM - Mike Kelly: how thick is it
May 18, 2015 1:42 PM - Mike Glass: Its for Me?
May 18, 2015 1:43 PM - daniel871:
May 18, 2015 1:45 PM - Mike Kelly: yeahhhh
May 18, 2015 1:45 PM - Mike Glass: That will be one sharp razor to shave acrylic, although I have done it on my cnc with cast acrylic
May 18, 2015 1:45 PM - toy: 9mm thick.... reduce to around 5mm
May 18, 2015 1:46 PM - Mike Glass: thats thinner than 1/4 not sure I would go that much, what size is it?
May 18, 2015 1:47 PM - daniel871: Showed the benchy thing I printed over the weekend off at work and had somebody ask me how much I'd charge to print off an actual model boat for them if they get me the STL files.
May 18, 2015 1:47 PM - Mike Glass: A full size boat?
May 18, 2015 1:47 PM - toy: its the same dimensions as the glass bed
May 18, 2015 1:47 PM - daniel871: Something to fill the print space of the robo, at any rate, when I told them the max size.
May 18, 2015 1:47 PM - Mike Glass: I like the guy that printed a canoe..lol
May 18, 2015 1:48 PM - Mike Glass: is it cast acrylic?
May 18, 2015 1:49 PM - toy: im not sure... it looks like a sheet or acrylic cut to the bed size =\
May 18, 2015 1:49 PM - toy: of...
May 18, 2015 1:50 PM - Mike Glass: or poly
May 18, 2015 1:52 PM - Mike Glass: Lexan or lucite then?
May 18, 2015 1:53 PM - Knut Stumberg: Hey guys, i just switched from using mattercontrol to cura
May 18, 2015 1:53 PM - Knut Stumberg: cura seems to print in a denser resolution
May 18, 2015 1:53 PM - Knut Stumberg: and that has both good and bad sideeffects...
May 18, 2015 1:54 PM - Knut Stumberg: and the fan aint running no more...
May 18, 2015 1:54 PM - Knut Stumberg: I used to have the fan start at 3rd layer....
May 18, 2015 1:55 PM - Knut Stumberg: all thise boils down to that bridgining isnt that great any more...
May 18, 2015 1:55 PM - Mike Glass: wow seems that mattercontrol was made right for you.
May 18, 2015 1:56 PM - Knut Stumberg: Any ideas on how to get Cura to properly generate gcode for my fancontrol?
May 18, 2015 1:56 PM - Knut Stumberg: mattercontrol is crap
May 18, 2015 1:56 PM - Mike Glass: turn the fans on first thing.
May 18, 2015 1:57 PM - Knut Stumberg: i dont want the fan running ofr the first layers...
May 18, 2015 1:57 PM - Mike Glass: thats fine, do you see the expert config under cool
May 18, 2015 1:58 PM - Mike Glass: turn the fan full on height to whatever you want
May 18, 2015 1:58 PM - Knut Stumberg: its set to fan full on height 1.2
May 18, 2015 1:59 PM - Knut Stumberg: ill try chaning the fan min speed to 50%
May 18, 2015 1:59 PM - Knut Stumberg: its currently on 0
May 18, 2015 1:59 PM - Mike Glass: default is 10
May 18, 2015 2:00 PM - Mike Glass: that may of been your issue
May 18, 2015 2:01 PM - Knut Stumberg: is there any settings for bridging fan speeds too?
May 18, 2015 2:01 PM - Knut Stumberg: I.E can i force it to 100% while bridging?
May 18, 2015 2:01 PM - Mike Glass: might be in the expert config but dont think so.
May 18, 2015 2:01 PM - Mike Glass: you should maybe try repeiter or S3d
May 18, 2015 2:02 PM - Mike Glass: If you want the best Simplify 3d will save you hours of effin around.
May 18, 2015 2:03 PM - Knut Stumberg: s3d supports sending files via usb?
May 18, 2015 2:09 PM - Mike Glass: yup
May 18, 2015 2:09 PM - Mike Glass: although its much slower doing it that way
May 18, 2015 2:10 PM - Knut Stumberg: s3d is payware?
May 18, 2015 2:11 PM - Knut Stumberg: its slow but has its advantages when that computer is on a different floor in a possibly cold room
May 18, 2015 2:12 PM - Mike Glass: not sure why u would print in a cold room
May 18, 2015 2:17 PM - Knut Stumberg: i usually don't but heating the room costs, using usb to send to printer SD make me able to only have to go to that room when starting the print..
May 18, 2015 2:18 PM - Knut Stumberg: everything else up there is remote controlled, even the heatingoven
May 18, 2015 2:24 PM - Knut Stumberg: uh, lol, what does s3d have that the free alternatives don't have thats worth 150 bucks?
May 18, 2015 2:25 PM - daniel871: presets that actually work, in my experience.
May 18, 2015 2:25 PM - daniel871: of course, my free software experience is Matter Control.
May 18, 2015 2:26 PM - Knut Stumberg: shrug
May 18, 2015 2:26 PM - Knut Stumberg: well i've had my printer for almost a year, mostly used matter control, just switched to cura, prints nice, only a few minor issues...
May 18, 2015 2:27 PM - daniel871: it also does support material that doesnt have to be power tool removed (s3d).
May 18, 2015 2:27 PM - Knut Stumberg: mattercontrol using slic3r spent up to several hours slicing stuff, cura does the same jump in seconds on the same old core2 duo 2.2 GHz
May 18, 2015 2:28 PM - daniel871: eh.
May 18, 2015 2:28 PM - Knut Stumberg: jump/job/s
May 18, 2015 2:29 PM - daniel871: I'm on an i7 with 16gb of ram to play with, so I dont know if the efficiency of the software matters there.
May 18, 2015 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: disable "avoid crossing perimeter"
May 18, 2015 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: it's some slic3r bug
May 18, 2015 2:30 PM - Knut Stumberg: lol...you have no idea how many hours i have wated....
May 18, 2015 2:30 PM - Knut Stumberg: waited*
May 18, 2015 3:29 PM - jbigler1986: Back
May 18, 2015 3:31 PM - jbigler1986: Work was killer today

 

May 18, 2015 3:31 PM - Mike Kelly: that sucks
May 18, 2015 3:31 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm working from home
May 18, 2015 4:03 PM - jbigler1986: Lucky. My works remote software sucks ass.
May 18, 2015 4:03 PM - jbigler1986: Hate working from that crap
May 18, 2015 4:09 PM - jbigler1986: Just responded to that guys lcd problem. Now wondering if I can edit the firmware to show all axis no matter what size of movements you select
May 18, 2015 4:18 PM - Mike Glass: JB you still owe me a dragon
May 18, 2015 4:19 PM - jbigler1986: that i do
May 18, 2015 4:19 PM - jbigler1986: about to go buy so ram
May 18, 2015 4:19 PM - Mike Glass: For why
May 18, 2015 4:20 PM - jbigler1986: has to be 1.35 volts for this mini pc. Got 2gb yesterday and it was 1.5 volts. Didn't know it needed 1.35 until this morning
May 18, 2015 4:21 PM - Mike Glass: Ah so how much after the ram
May 18, 2015 4:21 PM - Mike Glass: Did it run sw?
May 18, 2015 4:21 PM - jbigler1986: how much will I have into it?
May 18, 2015 4:21 PM - jbigler1986: it actually does. A little slow which is why i'm adding the ram
May 18, 2015 4:22 PM - Mike Glass: Yes
May 18, 2015 4:22 PM - jbigler1986: after the ram it will total around 190
May 18, 2015 4:23 PM - Mike Glass: Gulp
May 18, 2015 4:23 PM - Mike Glass:
May 18, 2015 4:23 PM - jbigler1986: runs everything that i need it to and more. always streaming, printer connected, SW running
May 18, 2015 4:25 PM - Mike Glass: I was thinking something like that then put a usb 7-10" monitor on the side of the robo.
May 18, 2015 4:25 PM - jbigler1986: that would work
May 18, 2015 4:26 PM - Bill Monroe: yo yo yo-yo
May 18, 2015 4:26 PM - Mike Glass: wonder if you could get ram cheaper for those somewhere else
May 18, 2015 4:26 PM - Mike Glass: YO-YO BILLY
May 18, 2015 4:26 PM - Mike Kelly: i just have an old '07 desktop, probably not uber efficient
May 18, 2015 4:26 PM - Bill Monroe:
May 18, 2015 4:26 PM - jbigler1986: i'm sure you can
May 18, 2015 4:27 PM - jbigler1986: Frys only have 4gb and 8gb at 1.35 volts
May 18, 2015 4:27 PM - jbigler1986: sure you can find a 2gb one online for around 20
May 18, 2015 4:27 PM - Mike Glass: How much can you put in that thing
May 18, 2015 4:27 PM - jbigler1986: 8gb
May 18, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Glass: wireless and ethernet?
May 18, 2015 4:28 PM - jbigler1986: has both
May 18, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Glass: GIg ethernet?
May 18, 2015 4:28 PM - jbigler1986: didn't check
May 18, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Glass: POE
May 18, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Glass: lol
May 18, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Glass: I will look
May 18, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Glass: didnt you pay 129
May 18, 2015 4:30 PM - jbigler1986: I did
May 18, 2015 4:30 PM - jbigler1986: 10/100/1000Mbps
May 18, 2015 4:31 PM - Mike Glass: 219 now..

May 18, 2015 4:37 PM - Bill Monroe: how is that a med device?
May 18, 2015 4:37 PM - Mike Glass: Just like anything that is used in that field, has to meet certain requirements
May 18, 2015 4:38 PM - Bill Monroe: it's a certified medical device?
May 18, 2015 4:39 PM - Mike Glass: I think main part they are hermetically sealed, you can wipe them completely down with alcohol or bleach
May 18, 2015 4:40 PM - Mike Glass: look em up. https://www.motioncomputing.com/us/products/rugged-tablets/c5m

May 18, 2015 7:09 PM - GooBazooka: i've got an issue with infill
May 18, 2015 7:09 PM - GooBazooka: anyone care to field it?

 

May 18, 2015 7:16 PM - jbigler1986: pics?
May 18, 2015 7:19 PM - GooBazooka: an explanation should do
May 18, 2015 7:19 PM - GooBazooka: my settings in matter control are set to default at 3 solid top and bottom layers
May 18, 2015 7:19 PM - GooBazooka: however
May 18, 2015 7:20 PM - GooBazooka: i get very sparse infill at those supposedly solid layers
May 18, 2015 7:20 PM - GooBazooka: and this is a new development after printing flawlessly for a week now
May 18, 2015 7:33 PM - daniel871: ugh. matter control.
May 18, 2015 7:36 PM - GooBazooka: no good?
May 18, 2015 7:36 PM - GooBazooka: should i go back to repetier?
May 18, 2015 7:39 PM - jbigler1986: Mattercontrol is the worst
May 18, 2015 7:39 PM - jbigler1986: Try Cura
May 18, 2015 7:39 PM - GooBazooka: i'll give it a shot
May 18, 2015 7:40 PM - jbigler1986: But you can bump it up to 4 or 5 and try that
May 18, 2015 7:43 PM - GooBazooka: what do you mean 4 or 5?
May 18, 2015 7:43 PM - GooBazooka: version?
May 18, 2015 7:44 PM - jbigler1986: solid top and bottom layers in Mattercontrol
May 18, 2015 7:46 PM - jbigler1986: but I would avoid using MatterCRAP all together and try with Cura. Follow this guide http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/how-to-cura-setup.4169/
May 18, 2015 7:51 PM - jbigler1986: I think MK got kidnapped

May 18, 2015 8:11 PM - Mike Kelly: and playing gunpoint
May 18, 2015 8:14 PM - Mike Glass: gunpoint?
May 18, 2015 8:15 PM - Mike Kelly: it's a sidescroller
May 18, 2015 8:16 PM - Mike Kelly: puzzle game
May 18, 2015 8:16 PM - Mike Kelly: thingiverse was listening to me yesterday: http://www.thingiverse.com/glitchpudding/collections/pegboard
May 18, 2015 8:20 PM - Mike Glass: he has some cool collections
May 18, 2015 8:21 PM - GooBazooka: so Cura seems to have done the trick
May 18, 2015 8:21 PM - GooBazooka: don't really know why MatterControl decided to vomit all over my prints
May 18, 2015 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: cause MC Sucks
May 18, 2015 8:24 PM - GooBazooka: any reason?
May 18, 2015 8:27 PM - Mike Glass: nope, just know it happens to everybody the comes here
May 18, 2015 8:31 PM - jbigler1986: Buggy that's why. Stay away from it
May 18, 2015 8:32 PM - GooBazooka: seems like a development issue
May 18, 2015 8:32 PM - GooBazooka: hey should address it
May 18, 2015 8:32 PM - GooBazooka: they*
May 18, 2015 8:32 PM - jbigler1986: Robo really needs to stop paying them. Horrible investment
May 18, 2015 8:33 PM - jbigler1986: They are to busy building punchout arms to knock prints off of the bed instead. They don't care
May 18, 2015 8:33 PM - jbigler1986: Matterhackers that is. Not Robo

May 19, 2015 3:17 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
May 19, 2015 3:21 AM - bamhm182: Got my Bowden setup so it doesn't take a gallon of oil to keep it printing happily
May 19, 2015 3:22 AM - bamhm182: Switched the tubing to the stuff that came with the Cyclops and it started printing a lot better, then I looked at my receipt and realized I bought FEP tubing
May 19, 2015 3:39 AM - jbigler1986: Woops
May 19, 2015 3:40 AM - bamhm182: Yup
May 19, 2015 3:40 AM - bamhm182: Now I just have to figure out why my extruder is making a weird noise

May 19, 2015 4:56 AM - Bill Monroe: I have one I've not tried... just leave a msg for Matt?
May 19, 2015 4:57 AM - jbigler1986: yeah trying to get them on the cheap though
May 19, 2015 4:57 AM - Bill Monroe: you're funny
May 19, 2015 4:57 AM - jbigler1986: thinking around $5 a piece or so
May 19, 2015 4:58 AM - jbigler1986: smallest i can find is .3 that are cheap
May 19, 2015 5:02 AM - Bill Monroe: and these are genuine E3D units?
May 19, 2015 5:03 AM - jbigler1986: nope
May 19, 2015 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe: there you go again.. fix it till it's broke
May 19, 2015 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe:
May 19, 2015 5:04 AM - jbigler1986: cheap china ones to give me cancer
May 19, 2015 5:05 AM - jbigler1986: might say screw it and get some .3 ones for $1.99 a piece

May 19, 2015 5:30 AM - daniel871: Before I burn some filament this evening, how good is S3D's Nylon profile for Taulman's Bridge material?
May 19, 2015 5:31 AM - daniel871: Mainly wondering if people have to tend to tweak it hotter or cooler to work well.
May 19, 2015 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: you're asking a questions that relatively few have any experience with.
May 19, 2015 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: so you're going to need to do what we all have done manyt times
May 19, 2015 5:33 AM - Bill Monroe: try it and see
May 19, 2015 5:35 AM - daniel871: Ah, didn't see that Mike Kelly and Mike Glass weren't on right now, was talking to them yesterday about the pros/cons of a glue stick vs. wood glue brushed on the bed when printing Nylon yesterday.
May 19, 2015 5:36 AM - daniel871: (and will be buying a stick/bottle of each to try on my way home from work today)
May 19, 2015 5:36 AM - daniel871: Was mainly looking to make sure that things would be ballpark on the actual printer settings while trying each of the bed prep methods to see which one worked best.
May 19, 2015 5:37 AM - Bill Monroe: there's the keywords TRY IT
May 19, 2015 5:38 AM - jbigler1986: well you might find something even better
May 19, 2015 5:38 AM - jbigler1986: only way to know is if you test it
May 19, 2015 5:39 AM - jbigler1986: no different than changing settings. gotta try it and see if it works
May 19, 2015 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: Standard Int'l Shipping (8-20 business days
May 19, 2015 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: I hate waiting on the boat
May 19, 2015 5:41 AM - Bill Monroe: no you dont
May 19, 2015 5:41 AM - Bill Monroe: you'll do that instead of paying a little more to get genuine tip domestically
May 19, 2015 5:42 AM - Bill Monroe: you love the boat
May 19, 2015 5:42 AM - Bill Monroe: the LOVE boat...
May 19, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: if i didn't have a .25 already I would pay more
May 19, 2015 5:45 AM - daniel871: Anybody have that link to the nozzle cleaning bits handy that was being talked about a few days ago? Meant to order it but got side-tracked.
May 19, 2015 5:45 AM - daniel871: They were basically drill bits with handles on them sized to each of the nozzle sizes from .25 to 1.0 that E3D sells.
May 19, 2015 5:46 AM - daniel871: Or that would work with the E3D nozzles, rather.
May 19, 2015 5:46 AM - Bill Monroe: google is your freind
May 19, 2015 5:49 AM - daniel871: Yeah, and there are a lot of different kits out there labelled for the various printer manufacturers rather than the hotend itself.
May 19, 2015 5:50 AM - daniel871: (a bunch of third party manufacturers of cleaning bits for the Makerbot, especially)
May 19, 2015 5:51 AM - jbigler1986: look on amazon. doesn't really matter the brand
May 19, 2015 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: to quote an old and indiscriminate freind of mne.. "A hole is a hole..."
May 19, 2015 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/J-Head-hotend...TF8&qid=1432039997&sr=8-5&keywords=e3d+nozzle
May 19, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: 11 bucks for 4 nozzles. not bad
May 19, 2015 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: I wouldnt buy anything that says geeetech on it, or anything sold by get005
May 19, 2015 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: that was the first one i saw
May 19, 2015 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: i have a small box of stuff I bought on amazon that turned out to be crap.. it took awhile before I realized, it's all made by geeetech, and all came from get005
May 19, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: both of those names have earned a spot on my blacklist
May 19, 2015 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: never had 1 bad thing from amazon (yet)
May 19, 2015 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: I gave honest reviews, and get005 began hammering me with emails to remove my comments.. even offered money
May 19, 2015 5:58 AM - Stephen Capistron:
May 19, 2015 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe:
May 19, 2015 6:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: There have been a bunch of lawsuits surrounding online reviews. All based around people making statements of fact when they should be more precisely worded as an opinion
May 19, 2015 6:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: "The place is disgusting" v "I felt like the place was disgusting"
May 19, 2015 6:04 AM - jbigler1986: that's ludicrous
May 19, 2015 6:04 AM - Bill Monroe: that's how the common american communicates.. in absolutes
May 19, 2015 6:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: it is a ticky tack slight difference but the courts have been siding with the place that was being reviewed.
May 19, 2015 6:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: common engineer just tries to get close enough for all practical purposes
May 19, 2015 6:12 AM - jbigler1986: this country loves to sue
May 19, 2015 6:19 AM - Bill Monroe: i've been involved in 2 significant lawsuits.. both ended in my favor, neither was a pleasant expereince, and the biggest winner were my lawyers
May 19, 2015 6:20 AM - jbigler1986: Better call Sal!
May 19, 2015 6:20 AM - Bill Monroe: even the losing lawyers won

May 19, 2015 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: lol
May 19, 2015 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: they could do more with Jesse
May 19, 2015 6:23 AM - Bill Monroe: it would be funny to fill a storage unit with monopoly money, cover it with a blue tarp. never pay the rent again so it shows up on storage wars
May 19, 2015 6:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: just need a bunch of empty boxes with high-end logos on them
May 19, 2015 6:26 AM - Bill Monroe: Jesse's past wasnt complex enough to make an interesting character
May 19, 2015 6:26 AM - jbigler1986: they could make it work. get a new heisenburg or something
May 19, 2015 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: it was a great show, but it's done.
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: i need more or another very similiar
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - Bill Monroe: been watching Blacklist?
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: have not
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - daniel871: Blacklist is a little weird.
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - Bill Monroe: gads..
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - Bill Monroe: you may now commence to binge
May 19, 2015 6:28 AM - daniel871: Love James Spader, but he's basically the only one on the show worth watching.
May 19, 2015 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: BS
May 19, 2015 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: the special ops guy is interesting.. Denbe has a great back story..
May 19, 2015 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: but hey, it's spader's show so he's going to get the facetime
May 19, 2015 6:30 AM - daniel871: Literally everyone working for the FBI on that show is an utter moron.
May 19, 2015 6:30 AM - Bill Monroe: and Tom, now that's an interesting character

 

May 19, 2015 6:30 AM - Bill Monroe: heh "literally"
May 19, 2015 6:30 AM - daniel871: What? It's accurate.
May 19, 2015 6:31 AM - daniel871: Lizzie is the worst profiler ever.
May 19, 2015 6:32 AM - Bill Monroe: well for one.. no one on the show "leterally" works for the FBI.. they're actors you know..
May 19, 2015 6:32 AM - daniel871: Hence the bit about "on that show", as in, in context of the world being depicted.
May 19, 2015 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: ok.. dont watch it..
May 19, 2015 6:33 AM - daniel871: Never said I didn't enjoy it, but it's a schadenfreude and James Spader telling stories show and not the crime drama they want it to be.
May 19, 2015 6:34 AM - daniel871: Certainly isn't anywhere near the same level of writing in Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad, at any rate.
May 19, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: high-end logos?
May 19, 2015 6:38 AM - daniel871: Actual plot and dialog writing.
May 19, 2015 6:47 AM - daniel871: My favorite bits are things like James Spader ripping off heart monitor leads in a shootout and the monitor still showing a normal heartbeat behind him.
May 19, 2015 6:47 AM - daniel871: Same school of cinema that decided a baby doll would be believable as a real baby in American Sniper.
May 19, 2015 6:50 AM - jbigler1986: oh yeah. that part bothered me
May 19, 2015 6:51 AM - daniel871: For the archive and the rare few people that may not have noticed:
May 19, 2015 6:51 AM - daniel871: Props to the actor for wiggling his thumb to try and make it look like the doll's arm was moving.
May 19, 2015 6:56 AM - jbigler1986: how did they not realize that during editing
May 19, 2015 7:08 AM - daniel871: "Eh, good enough, anybody that criticizes this film will have to put up with accusations of not being patriotic"
May 19, 2015 7:16 AM - daniel871: My main criticisms of the movie are the usual "not enough like the book" stuff. The Chris Kyle in the movie is completely different from the Chris Kyle in his own book.
May 19, 2015 7:18 AM - jbigler1986: it could have been done better. still good though
May 19, 2015 7:18 AM - daniel871: Had him acting all conflicted about shooting a kid in the movie, where in the book he said killing people was the most fun he had in his life and that he would go back again if he could.
May 19, 2015 7:20 AM - daniel871: Also the bit where he claims to have shot 30 people in the aftermath of Katrina from the roof of the Superdome would have put an entirely different spin on the narrative.
May 19, 2015 7:22 AM - daniel871: Whether the stuff in the book is all a bunch of lies or not is a whole different thing, because he claimed to find the WMDs Bush said were in Iraq as well and we all know that the idea that finding them would have been covered up is stupid.
May 19, 2015 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: Stephen where is our news

May 19, 2015 7:53 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
May 19, 2015 7:53 AM - daniel871: I've just been using my PS3 for all that kind of stuff.
May 19, 2015 7:54 AM - jbigler1986: morning
May 19, 2015 7:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i love that the ps3 has plex built in
May 19, 2015 7:54 AM - Mike Kelly: wish it had IR though
May 19, 2015 7:55 AM - jbigler1986: i watch a lot of live sports with my PC connected to my living room tv. It's a full pc. Kids game on it sometimes
May 19, 2015 7:55 AM - jbigler1986: No cable for me
May 19, 2015 7:55 AM - daniel871: http://www.theonion.com/graphic/toddler-adjusting-society-after-serving-2-minute-t-50463
May 19, 2015 7:56 AM - daniel871: Recently fired Satellite provider after getting an antenna set up with the ChannelMaster DVR.
May 19, 2015 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: I have a few of these which are actually pretty nice. Never use them. Installed full android on it
May 19, 2015 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: https://gamestick.tv/
May 19, 2015 7:56 AM - daniel871: All the shows I watch are either on local channels or Hulu/Netflix anyway.
May 19, 2015 7:57 AM - Mike Kelly: finally got told my purchasing budget
May 19, 2015 7:57 AM - jbigler1986: same. if not primewire for the win
May 19, 2015 7:57 AM - Mike Kelly: should have SW2015 by next month
May 19, 2015 7:57 AM - jbigler1986: good
May 19, 2015 7:58 AM - daniel871: Printed the herringbone gears in PET and the small gear won't go over the motor rod.
May 19, 2015 7:59 AM - Mike Kelly: got a drill?
May 19, 2015 7:59 AM - daniel871: Yeah, but aren't the flats kind of important?
May 19, 2015 7:59 AM - Mike Kelly: the design usually has a recessed nut and set screw
May 19, 2015 8:02 AM - daniel871: Thought about putting the motor and gear in a vise and pressing it on, but wasn't sure how tight a fit it was supposed to be. the tip will just barely sort of start but I don't have the grip to squeeze them together.
May 19, 2015 8:03 AM - daniel871: Also not sure how strong the internals of the motor are (will the pressure from the vise break it if the interference fit of the gear is too tight? etc.).
May 19, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Kelly: the drive shaft goes all the way through
May 19, 2015 8:07 AM - daniel871: Haha. "Amazon wonders: It's Zombie Awareness month, are you prepared?"
May 19, 2015 8:07 AM - daniel871: What?
May 19, 2015 8:09 AM - daniel871: Also, is there a nozzle cleaning kit on Amazon that doesn't also include a bunch of nozzles I probably can't use with the E3D?
May 19, 2015 8:11 AM - jbigler1986: holy shit. just realized the price of that gamestick on their site is $79. I bought them at gamestop for $17
May 19, 2015 8:11 AM - daniel871: There are a bunch of listings for multiple tools for the same size nozzle, but no real variety assortments other than one that has three bits for .3, .4 & .5 nozzle cleaning.
May 19, 2015 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: that's all you need unless you have a .25 nozzle
May 19, 2015 8:14 AM - daniel871: What about the .6 & .8 nozzles?
May 19, 2015 8:15 AM - jbigler1986: .5 should clean it out enough
May 19, 2015 8:16 AM - daniel871: Hm.
May 19, 2015 8:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: I love the roku for all my streaming needs
May 19, 2015 8:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: I also have a SimpleTV to handle my over the air recording. I'm still pissed about the Aereo ruling
May 19, 2015 8:17 AM - daniel871: I've honestly not seen a benefit for the Roku when I already have the PS3 and a "Smart" TV that has the other apps on it.
May 19, 2015 8:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: the remote for the roku is really the best. IR with a headphone jack on it
May 19, 2015 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: man i hate my smarttv
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: it's so freaking slow
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: the interface is also nice
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - daniel871: What brand is it Mike?
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: samsung
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: roku i use for netflix in the living room. other stuff i use the pc
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - daniel871: Got a Sharp Aquos last year on an Amazon Lightning deal, it's pretty sweet.
May 19, 2015 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: that's what we mainly use
May 19, 2015 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: we mostly use our appletv 2
May 19, 2015 8:19 AM - jbigler1986: apple
May 19, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: Yeah. The Aquos lets you broadcast from your tablet/phone to the TV screen so the selling point of the AppleTV went away.
May 19, 2015 8:20 AM - Mike Kelly: that's pretty nice
May 19, 2015 8:20 AM - Mike Kelly: and yes i'm an apple fan
May 19, 2015 8:21 AM - daniel871: This one: http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-LC-60UQ...F8&qid=1432048907&sr=1-2&keywords=Sharp+Aquos
May 19, 2015 8:21 AM - jbigler1986: they make good hardware but the software
May 19, 2015 8:21 AM - jbigler1986: 3D on tvs sucks
May 19, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: OSX is the best operating system i've ever used
May 19, 2015 8:22 AM - Mike Kelly: unless you're basing everything on itunes
May 19, 2015 8:22 AM - daniel871: Only use that mode when playing a video game that supports it.
May 19, 2015 8:22 AM - daniel871: Because that's kind of fun.
May 19, 2015 8:22 AM - Mike Kelly: only game i have that supports 3d is halo anniversary
May 19, 2015 8:22 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish the last of us had it
May 19, 2015 8:23 AM - daniel871: Yeah, Last of Us would be amazing in 3d.
May 19, 2015 8:23 AM - daniel871: Arkham Knight will do it.
May 19, 2015 8:24 AM - daniel871: If Arkham City is any indicator.
May 19, 2015 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i got that for free with my ps3, doubt i'll play it though
May 19, 2015 8:26 AM - daniel871: You really should play it, it is this weird blend of the old animated show and the more recent movies.
May 19, 2015 8:26 AM - daniel871: Lots of jokes about how Batman never kills anyone, he just leaves them in traction for the foreseeable future.
May 19, 2015 8:27 AM - daniel871: Also the AI mooks that you beat up that aren't bosses change their reactions to finding you over the course of the game depending on how you respond to them each time it happens.
May 19, 2015 8:28 AM - bamhm182: hey guys
May 19, 2015 8:28 AM - daniel871: (aside from the overarching story fights)
May 19, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: sup bam
May 19, 2015 8:28 AM - bamhm182: I wouldn't have pegged you as an Apple fan, MK

 

May 19, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm pretty open to everything
May 19, 2015 8:29 AM - jbigler1986: not just on itunes (although i hate that)
May 19, 2015 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly:
May 19, 2015 8:29 AM - bamhm182: I have a macbook and a mac mini from back when I was doing iPhone development. I use my mac mini for the projector in the livingroom
May 19, 2015 8:29 AM - bamhm182: They're good computers, but they're SO far behind my desktop that I just built that they don't get used much anymore
May 19, 2015 8:29 AM - jbigler1986: i like more open software and OS. Not so locked down
May 19, 2015 8:30 AM - bamhm182: Unless I need to 2D print something, because my 2D printer is in the livingroom
May 19, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: i've never felt locked down on my mac though I'm not uber intensive
May 19, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: and the UI is so much nicer to use
May 19, 2015 8:30 AM - bamhm182: I do like how the software is more available on Windows, but I would have no problem using Mac
May 19, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: i always hate going back to windows
May 19, 2015 8:30 AM - bamhm182: I agree with that last statement
May 19, 2015 8:31 AM - jbigler1986: what is this 2D printer. I remember when it was just a printer. lol
May 19, 2015 8:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i try and buy a laptop when it's roughly the same specs as my desktop
May 19, 2015 8:31 AM - bamhm182: I was going to say "When I print things" but that could be taken differently than I intended it to
May 19, 2015 8:31 AM - Mike Kelly: we got a brother wireless laser printer
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - Mike Kelly: best investment since we barely ever print and i hate inkjet
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - Mike Kelly: and it was only like $80
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - jbigler1986: i hate injet as well
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - bamhm182: Wait, so it prints with just lasers?
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - bamhm182: No toner or ink? What is this witchcraft!?!
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - Mike Kelly: toner...
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - daniel871: Canon imagClass here.
May 19, 2015 8:32 AM - bamhm182: Oh, nevermind. Back into the corner I go
May 19, 2015 8:33 AM - bamhm182: I always just called those toner printers, didn't know they were called laser printers
May 19, 2015 8:33 AM - jbigler1986: learn something new everyday
May 19, 2015 8:33 AM - bamhm182: I've got two inkjet printers, but they're both out of ink and I'm too lazy to go buy some
May 19, 2015 8:34 AM - jbigler1986: ink is so overpriced
May 19, 2015 8:34 AM - daniel871: Rememer the old dot matrix printers with ribbons?
May 19, 2015 8:34 AM - bamhm182: Yeah it is
May 19, 2015 8:34 AM - daniel871: remember
May 19, 2015 8:34 AM - Mike Kelly: ink is overpriced and it goes bad which is crap
May 19, 2015 8:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i loved ripping the ribbons off
May 19, 2015 8:35 AM - daniel871: That noise they made when printing.
May 19, 2015 8:35 AM - bamhm182: So my extruder motor keeps making a noise when it's printing, and I'm trying to find out why exactly it's doing that
May 19, 2015 8:36 AM - daniel871: How much printing have you done/how long are the bearings in the Wade extruder good for?
May 19, 2015 8:36 AM - bamhm182: It doesn't seem to cause anything bad, but I need to fix it
May 19, 2015 8:36 AM - Mike Kelly: you're sure it's inside the motor and something else?
May 19, 2015 8:36 AM - bamhm182: I'm pretty sure its not the bearings. They're brand new, but since I haven't used them before, I guess it could be them
May 19, 2015 8:36 AM - bamhm182: It really sounds like it's the motor though
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: not sure how long they are good for but i have printed a ton and don't have any issues yet
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - bamhm182: It sounds kind of like a sonic screwdriver
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - daniel871: Also thanks for the reminder, it's time to re-apply the lube to the smooth rods.
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - bamhm182: One sec, I took a video of it last time, let me find it
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - bamhm182: *upload
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm you might try tuning it if it's over current
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - Mike Kelly: that makes weird noises sometimes
May 19, 2015 8:37 AM - bamhm182: That's what I was thinking may have been the issue
May 19, 2015 8:38 AM - bamhm182: It's a motor that I hadn't used and I didn't tune it since I added it
May 19, 2015 8:38 AM - bamhm182: I just don't know if it's too high or too low, it seems like with the noise, it would have to be too high, but it's a bigger motor than the stock extruder, so I don't know
May 19, 2015 8:38 AM - bamhm182: Seems like it would need more power, not less
May 19, 2015 8:38 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd have to hear it
May 19, 2015 8:39 AM - Mike Kelly: under and over make different noises
May 19, 2015 8:39 AM - bamhm182: Either way, I bought an IR thermometer, I was looking up some information on how to tune the drivers and they suggested having the motor move constantly, then using an IR thermometer to try and get its temperature at right about 50C
May 19, 2015 8:40 AM - bamhm182: If it matters, the extruder is hotter than my X-Axis Motor
May 19, 2015 8:40 AM - Mike Kelly: as long as you're below 80C you're fine
May 19, 2015 8:41 AM - bamhm182: So then would you recommend tuning it until it's around 65-70?
May 19, 2015 8:41 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm
May 19, 2015 8:41 AM - Mike Kelly: i dunno i guess i find that to be a bit of a strange way to tune
May 19, 2015 8:41 AM - bamhm182: How do you tune them?
May 19, 2015 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: i tune it down until it starts to stall, then turn it up just past that point
May 19, 2015 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: but mine are direct drive so the temperature of my motor plays a much bigger role
May 19, 2015 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: and they draw less current so they get like insanely hot
May 19, 2015 8:43 AM - bamhm182: Why do you do it that way?
May 19, 2015 8:43 AM - jbigler1986: direct you have to worry about the heat transferring to the filament
May 19, 2015 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: noise mostly but also so it only draws what it needs and i need to dissipate less heat
May 19, 2015 8:44 AM - bamhm182: It seems like if you do that, then it has just barely enough power to move the filament, so if you have any sort of issues, you're going to skip
May 19, 2015 8:44 AM - bamhm182: Guess that makes sense
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: but like i said for you, since you're geared drive you don't need to worry as much about the motor temp
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: 50C makes more sense in a situation like mine
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: apparently i'm speaking in 3rd person now
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - bamhm182: I just put in an application for this house today. I'm hoping I get it and a good deal of it has to do with the fact that it has a garage that already has an awesome work bench
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: buying or leasing?
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - bamhm182: I'm kind of thinking about throwing a bunch of those 40x40x40mm fans that TSG and MG have on it, haha
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - bamhm182: Just renting
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess application would be lease
May 19, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 19, 2015 8:46 AM - bamhm182: I currently live in an apartment in a room that is just BARELY big enough for my bed and two desks
May 19, 2015 8:46 AM - bamhm182: Plus we have a husky and this place has a yard that is bigger than our entire apartment
May 19, 2015 8:47 AM - Mike Kelly: very nice
May 19, 2015 8:47 AM - bamhm182: Yup, I have so many plans for that garage, haha
May 19, 2015 8:48 AM - bamhm182: Thinking I might break her in by replacing my rack and pinion. When I changed my tie rods, I noticed it was leaking power steering fluid into them
May 19, 2015 8:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm working on my garage organization right now, such a pain
May 19, 2015 8:48 AM - Mike Kelly: not fun
May 19, 2015 8:48 AM - bamhm182: But once you get it though, it'll be awesome
May 19, 2015 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah totally
May 19, 2015 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: until i get more tools
May 19, 2015 8:51 AM - bamhm182: So I got a call from work. Last week they were complaining because our bandwidth usage was "really high" and threatened paperwork if we were caught on websites that weren't educational, or in some way productive
May 19, 2015 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: good lord
May 19, 2015 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: do they pay by the bit?
May 19, 2015 8:52 AM - bamhm182: So I found khanacademy.org and we started going on there, then some other people in my shop had noticed that it has points and we made a competition out of it
May 19, 2015 8:52 AM - bamhm182: As far as I know, it doesn't matter what our bandwidth usage is, they're just mad because it looks like people are sitting on imgur and youtube all day instead of working
May 19, 2015 8:53 AM - bamhm182: So we wrote our current points on one of the boards and named it "Khanapalooza"
May 19, 2015 8:54 AM - bamhm182: Actually, I just remembered the phone call was for something else
May 19, 2015 8:54 AM - bamhm182: I saw this when I went in
May 19, 2015 8:54 AM - bamhm182: On another one of the boards, they wrote "Workapalooza"
May 19, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: youtube can be educational!
May 19, 2015 8:55 AM - bamhm182: #DoWorkAtWork \n #YouGetPaidToDoAJob
May 19, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: write below it, #YeahButWeWorkForTheGovernment
May 19, 2015 8:55 AM - bamhm182: Which I would totally understand if there was a complaint like "The network was down for 6 hours and when we approached the SysAds, they said get screwed we're doing math"

 

May 19, 2015 8:56 AM - bamhm182: But we did all the work that needed to get done
May 19, 2015 8:57 AM - bamhm182: The ONLY argument they really had was that most of us use a GUI for system checks, but I prefer to do it command line. You can see when the last time someone logged into the GUI and it said it hadn't been logged into in a few days
May 19, 2015 8:58 AM - bamhm182: Funny thing is, a lot of the Khan Academy curriculum has youtube videos that show you how to work out the current problem, so I wouldn't be surprised if it says we're using a lot of youtube
May 19, 2015 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: gotta wonder how much time they're wasting making sure their under tasked employees aren't wasting time
May 19, 2015 9:02 AM - bamhm182: Haha, right?
May 19, 2015 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: that the government/military for ya
May 19, 2015 9:03 AM - bamhm182: I'm pretty sure that the sergeant on the other night shift was the one that got upset about our competition, which I find funny because they know how much downtime there is during the night
May 19, 2015 9:03 AM - bamhm182: Really makes me wish I could get out once my contract is up sometimes...
May 19, 2015 9:04 AM - bamhm182: I signed on for 6 years, but I have to reenlist for another 4 if I want my Montgomery GI Bill (money for college after the Air Force)
May 19, 2015 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: you can once your contract is up
May 19, 2015 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: go to school now
May 19, 2015 9:04 AM - bamhm182: So I'm staying in for 10 years no matter what, once that 10 years is up, my options are to get out, or stick it out for another 10 and retire
May 19, 2015 9:05 AM - bamhm182: I am
May 19, 2015 9:05 AM - bamhm182: Well, trying anyways. I signed up for Electrical Engineering at Arizona State, which is what got me looking at the math on Khan Academy in the first place
May 19, 2015 9:05 AM - jbigler1986: if you hate it don't stay in. you only live once man
May 19, 2015 9:06 AM - daniel871: Or hate it for another ten years and have a sweet retirement package.
May 19, 2015 9:06 AM - daniel871: (at least you'll be able to retire0
May 19, 2015 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: can have a sweet retirement in the civilian world
May 19, 2015 9:08 AM - daniel871: Depends on your income in civilian sector.
May 19, 2015 9:08 AM - daniel871: Also how old are you now?
May 19, 2015 9:08 AM - bamhm182: Or you can have a sweet military retirement, and then a sweet civilian retirement
May 19, 2015 9:08 AM - bamhm182: I'm 22 right now, contract is up when I'm 25
May 19, 2015 9:08 AM - daniel871: No matter what, retirement in civilian sector is in your 60s.
May 19, 2015 9:09 AM - bamhm182: Yeah
May 19, 2015 9:09 AM - daniel871: Military retirement in your mid-thirties?
May 19, 2015 9:09 AM - jbigler1986: no
May 19, 2015 9:09 AM - daniel871: And yeah, you can still do the civilian thing and double-dip when you do retire.
May 19, 2015 9:09 AM - jbigler1986: 20 years is the fastest
May 19, 2015 9:09 AM - bamhm182: My grandpa's set when he eventually retires. Retired as an O-4, and is just about set to retire from Boeing.
May 19, 2015 9:10 AM - jbigler1986: well so 38 i guess
May 19, 2015 9:10 AM - bamhm182: Unless you get medical retirement or early separation or something
May 19, 2015 9:10 AM - bamhm182: Got a SSgt that has been in 11 years and is about to get medically retired
May 19, 2015 9:10 AM - daniel871: Still. Retiring at 38 and still being young enough to enjoy that retirement money instead of spending it all on end-of-life care and dying seems a lot better.
May 19, 2015 9:10 AM - bamhm182: Yeah it does
May 19, 2015 9:11 AM - jbigler1986: 20 years of lost "freedom" though
May 19, 2015 9:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology...-jaw-How-3D-is-changing-veterinary-care-video
May 19, 2015 9:12 AM - bamhm182: Right now MSgt (E-6) base pay is 4,415.40, so retirement is $2,207.70 or so
May 19, 2015 9:12 AM - daniel871: As opposed to 50-60 years of lost freedom because your boss essentially owns your life until you retire?
May 19, 2015 9:12 AM - bamhm182: *E-7
May 19, 2015 9:12 AM - jbigler1986: then you need a new boss
May 19, 2015 9:12 AM - bamhm182: A $1,100 check every two weeks sounds pretty alright to me
May 19, 2015 9:13 AM - bamhm182: I mean, that's just barely less than my entire check right now
May 19, 2015 9:13 AM - bamhm182: SC, one of my friends sent me that link on facebook this morning. Pretty sweet stuff
May 19, 2015 9:14 AM - daniel871: Good luck finding a better boss in Right to Work states.
May 19, 2015 9:15 AM - bamhm182: Something that is really making me consider what I want to do though is that if ASU does accept me, I'll finish up my Bachelor's in EE right around the time that my contract expires, so I could totally get out with a fresh bachelors, and around 4 years of IT experience
May 19, 2015 9:15 AM - jbigler1986: I work in one now
May 19, 2015 9:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: don't forget about the time value of money. Interest (inflation) are a bitch
May 19, 2015 9:15 AM - jbigler1986: no way does my boss decide what i do
May 19, 2015 9:15 AM - bamhm182: And not "Oh yeah, I browsed imgur every day" IT experience, anyone at work will tell you I get my hands dirty
May 19, 2015 9:16 AM - daniel871: Kind of a contradiction in terms there.
May 19, 2015 9:17 AM - bamhm182: MK, you still around? I was just cleaning my desk off and remembered I got my staples in
May 19, 2015 9:17 AM - daniel871: "Hey, jbigler, this project needs doing." "No." "Okay" doesn't work.
May 19, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: that's any job. not the same as not having freedom
May 19, 2015 9:17 AM - bamhm182: They work well for removing the 8-pin Molex pins
May 19, 2015 9:17 AM - daniel871: "Also it needs doing by Monday and it's 4:30 Friday afternoon"
May 19, 2015 9:18 AM - bamhm182: I removed a couple, then I verified that that tool you bought does fit around the connectors, but it's just too big to fit inside of the plastic part
May 19, 2015 9:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: They had some of this at the fish counter in the grocery store a few weeks ago. weird stuff
May 19, 2015 9:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/20...arm-blooded-fish-flaps-to-generate-heat-video
May 19, 2015 9:19 AM - jbigler1986: you're not understanding the freedom that you lose being in the military
May 19, 2015 9:20 AM - bamhm182: So I've been telling everyone at work that the second I take my staff test, I wanted to go home for two weeks since around February.
May 19, 2015 9:20 AM - bamhm182: Everyone knew that's what my plan was and right now I have around 45 days of leave
May 19, 2015 9:21 AM - bamhm182: About two weeks before I tested (06MAY) I got my testing date and went to put in leave that day. They said no, alright, fine, two weeks notification might not always be enough
May 19, 2015 9:21 AM - daniel871: It's really not all that different from any other corporate contract, other than being a lot more detailed.
May 19, 2015 9:21 AM - bamhm182: How about June? No. July? No. August? Maybe...
May 19, 2015 9:21 AM - jbigler1986: it's way different
May 19, 2015 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm still around, ran and got a burrito
May 19, 2015 9:21 AM - Mike Kelly: what staples was it again?
May 19, 2015 9:22 AM - daniel871: Name something about it that's different.
May 19, 2015 9:22 AM - bamhm182: I could understand if we had some big stuff going on, but we don't. It's just the same old song and dance, but they're afraid to have a shift with less than 4 people and they spread us too thin
May 19, 2015 9:23 AM - bamhm182: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAQCP6
May 19, 2015 9:23 AM - daniel871:
May 19, 2015 9:23 AM - bamhm182: Pretty much, haha
May 19, 2015 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a pretty depressing view of work
May 19, 2015 9:23 AM - jbigler1986: Hey I want to go up a few hours away and have a weekend fishing trip without having to tell 5 different people. I'm a grown man that doesn't need babysat
May 19, 2015 9:24 AM - jbigler1986: 1 example
May 19, 2015 9:24 AM - bamhm182: You better fill out your form, jb
May 19, 2015 9:24 AM - daniel871: Yeah, can't do that at my job either.
May 19, 2015 9:24 AM - daniel871: Hey, I've got plans for Memorial Day weekend to go to the lake with my family.
May 19, 2015 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: example: "I'm working from home this afternoon, ok bye"
May 19, 2015 9:24 AM - bamhm182: also what kind of fishing are you doing? If it's anything involving a boat, you'd better fill out your dangerous activity waiver
May 19, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: I hate my job and I'm going to get a new one. Nope can't do that
May 19, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 19, 2015 9:25 AM - daniel871: No, fuck your family, you need to work on this design for an installation in July and have it finished by Sunday.
May 19, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: see Bam gets it
May 19, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah cause he lives it
May 19, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: If you have never been in the military you don't completely understand.
May 19, 2015 9:26 AM - daniel871: Fill out vacation form two months in advance, it's approved. Day before vacation starts approval is rescinded.
May 19, 2015 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: lol vacation approval
May 19, 2015 9:26 AM - Mike Kelly: so glad i work for a small company
May 19, 2015 9:26 AM - bamhm182: They also make you work out with them, which is the stupidest thing ever
May 19, 2015 9:26 AM - jbigler1986: hey it's a 3 day weekend. You can't go anymore until we inspect all of your vehicles, paperwork included
May 19, 2015 9:27 AM - Mike Kelly: want to travel more than 5-8 hours away? you need to use leave time for that
May 19, 2015 9:27 AM - daniel871: I'd actually like it if the company had everyone work out every day. Save me a gym membership I can't use because I'm stuck at a desk.
May 19, 2015 9:27 AM - bamhm182: I mean, I get it, some people need to be monitored or they're just going to sit on their ass and ear tubs of lard while binge watching netflix and never doing any physical activity what-so-ever
May 19, 2015 9:27 AM - jbigler1986: @Daniel it should be a choice
May 19, 2015 9:27 AM - daniel871: But that would cost money and the vast majority of people hate the idea of working out.
May 19, 2015 9:28 AM - daniel871: Last I checked we didn't have a draft.
May 19, 2015 9:28 AM - bamhm182: But on every PT test I've taken, I've gotten over a 90%, can't I just NOT go waste an hour of my time that I could be at the gym or doing something more productive then jumping jacks running, around the building, 30 pushups, and more jumping jacks?
May 19, 2015 9:29 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, daniel, it does sound nice from a civilian perspective, but I have free access to my choice of 2 gyms with good hours, and 2 24-7 gyms
May 19, 2015 9:29 AM - bamhm182: Also, the PT is after work

 

May 19, 2015 9:29 AM - daniel871: That's when I try to work out when I get out of work at a decent hour.
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - daniel871: Day starts at 4am and runs until whatever work needs doing is done.
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: sounds like you need a new job
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - bamhm182: Seriously
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - bamhm182: Are you at least paid by the hour?
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - daniel871: Nope.
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - daniel871: Went Salaried position back in 2005.
May 19, 2015 9:30 AM - bamhm182: God, yeah, I'd be finding a different job, haha
May 19, 2015 9:31 AM - daniel871: I do make about 44k/year without a college degree though.
May 19, 2015 9:31 AM - daniel871: Which isn't bad in Georgia.
May 19, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: more than my wife makes with a degreew
May 19, 2015 9:31 AM - jbigler1986: I'm just simply trying to explain to you that there is a big difference between being a civilian and being in the military
May 19, 2015 9:32 AM - jbigler1986: it's getting to a point where degrees aren't needed as much
May 19, 2015 9:32 AM - daniel871: Assuming I make it to retirement age without a heart attack or stroke, I'll probably be okay (though the past cancer history seems to indicate that isn't likely).
May 19, 2015 9:32 AM - daniel871: Oh, I'm in a field where if I went anywhere else I'd need the degree.
May 19, 2015 9:32 AM - jbigler1986: which if you have the skill it shouldn't matter if you have a degree or not
May 19, 2015 9:33 AM - daniel871: Mechanical design-work for pulp and paper machines in a very specialized, consumable products division.
May 19, 2015 9:33 AM - bamhm182: My main beef with our PT is that it doesn't actually help me. A standard hour is meeting up, waiting for 10 minutes for everyone to get there, 10 minutes of situps/pushups/jumping jacks/stretches/etc, a 2 mile run, waiting for 15 minutes for the slow ones to come back, more pushups/situps/stretches/etc
May 19, 2015 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: apparently you can even do medical device design without a degree so
May 19, 2015 9:33 AM - daniel871: Doesn't really translate well outside of the industry though.
May 19, 2015 9:33 AM - bamhm182: Time could have been much better spent at the gym, in my opinion
May 19, 2015 9:33 AM - daniel871: Any PT is better than nothing though.
May 19, 2015 9:34 AM - jbigler1986: eating healthy and being active is enough
May 19, 2015 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: if i got paid to do it i would
May 19, 2015 9:34 AM - bamhm182: That is true
May 19, 2015 9:34 AM - jbigler1986: well it's not going to the gym all the time though
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - bamhm182: I'd do quite a few things if I got paid
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - bamhm182: "Work 16 hours for an hourly paycheck?" "Sure!"
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh hell no would i do that
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - bamhm182: Haha
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - bamhm182: I would seriously consider it
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i was mad enough when they removed my hour paid lunch and moved me to a 9 hour day
May 19, 2015 9:35 AM - daniel871: "Work 12 hours, with a two hour workout at the end before you go home" would work for me.
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: i enjoy my free time too much
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, me too
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - daniel871: Hell, my commute is 1.5 hours-2.5 hours depending on traffic one-way, that would let me dodge most of it.
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - bamhm182: Maybe I'd do it if it were once a month for a week
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - jbigler1986: same. coming back to the freedom part. i want to do what i want to when i want to
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: FUCK that
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: i had a 1.5 hour commute for a month
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: wanted to die
May 19, 2015 9:36 AM - bamhm182: Man, that's terrible
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - daniel871: It's almost entirely highway, so not like a city commute.
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - daniel871: Still, boring as hell.
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - Mike Kelly: mine was all highway
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - jbigler1986: yeah screw that. no way am i wasting 4 hours of my day when it's not necessary
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - bamhm182: There was a E-4 I worked with a while back that would mention from time to time how far she has to drive
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - jbigler1986: was probably like 30 minutes
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - daniel871: 68 miles one-way.
May 19, 2015 9:37 AM - bamhm182: She got out and I went to have thanksgiving dinner with her family last year, it was about that distance, NO WAY I'd make that trip daily
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: my coworkers live down in monument and commute up
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: but then again they get paid 6 figures and don't do dick
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: so i can understand that
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - daniel871: Nothing closer to home that pays above 12k a year though.
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - bamhm182: I complain when my gate is closed and I have to add on an extra 5 minutes to my normally 10 minute commute to use a different gate, haha
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - jbigler1986: move closer to work
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - bamhm182: You're up in Denver, right?
May 19, 2015 9:38 AM - daniel871: Housing prices are ridiculously high.
May 19, 2015 9:39 AM - daniel871: Also yeah, just sell my already paid for house and move.
May 19, 2015 9:39 AM - bamhm182: If I was getting paid 6 figures, I'd just rent an apartment and stay there throughout the week, haha
May 19, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: trust me. I know how that is
May 19, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah denver metro, west of downtown
May 19, 2015 9:39 AM - bamhm182: So what, did you live down in the Springs for that month?
May 19, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: @Daniel. yep
May 19, 2015 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: na this was before my time at my current job
May 19, 2015 9:40 AM - bamhm182: Ah
May 19, 2015 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i was living in the same general area but working up at crocs in Niwot
May 19, 2015 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: doing IT
May 19, 2015 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: I am only alive once. I am going to enjoy as much time of it as I can
May 19, 2015 9:40 AM - bamhm182: Gotcha
May 19, 2015 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: I would rather be poor and enjoy life then be rich and not enjoy it at all
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - bamhm182: But you can buy cooler shit to enjoy life with if you're rich
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - bamhm182: There's a compromise in there
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: Luckily I don't have to be poor though. Just a reference
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: i heard someone mention traffic and commuting times
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - daniel871: Problem is that being poor means you by definition will not be enjoying life.
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - daniel871: Yeah Stephen.
May 19, 2015 9:42 AM - daniel871: What's your commute?
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - jbigler1986: you know how many hippy (poor) type people are pretty poor and totally enjoy life?
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - bamhm182: Rich, only have an hour of free time a day, BUT I get to spend that hour driving super fast cars and blowing things up. Poor, I have 8 hours of free time, and a rock...
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - daniel871: Delusional people?
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: mine isn't too bad, 35-40 each way. But it is inside out and I see all the suckers in the "parking lot" on the other side of the highway
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: ^ boston problems
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - bamhm182: Go look at Manitou, CO. Haha
May 19, 2015 9:43 AM - bamhm182: The answer is all of them
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - daniel871: Just checked some listings close to where I work. A 1bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment is $1,200/month.
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that was the only good part of my commute, i was going against the grain
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: I guess I just have a different look at things than most
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - bamhm182: Jesus, where do you work?
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - Mike Kelly: and it was only 45 miles so i can't really complain, just never want to do that again
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - daniel871: Atlanta.
May 19, 2015 9:44 AM - bamhm182: Oh yeah, you said that
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - bamhm182: I would have pictured Atlanta having cheapish places
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: my commute now is amazing, 1 mile
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - jbigler1986: shit is not cheap where I live
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: there's a lot of unpaid perks to this job
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - bamhm182: I mean, here in Virginia, we've got a 2 bed/2 bath for like $817
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - daniel871: Nah, they're proud of their apartments right now because they're in the process of knocking down projects and rebuilding apartments where they used to be and shipping the poor people to the suburbs.
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: like having access to several mills and lathes and a full assortment of welding gear
May 19, 2015 9:45 AM - bamhm182: Ah

 

May 19, 2015 9:46 AM - jbigler1986: yeah I hate you MK
May 19, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly:
May 19, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to do more to take advantage of it
May 19, 2015 9:46 AM - daniel871: Anyway, I'd better go eat my lunch.
May 19, 2015 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: and i get my dog at work which is awesome
May 19, 2015 9:47 AM - bamhm182: This place we're trying to move into has 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1700 sq ft for $1400
May 19, 2015 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: oof
May 19, 2015 9:47 AM - Mike Kelly: though honestly a place like that here would be at least 2.5
May 19, 2015 9:47 AM - bamhm182: We've been thinking about how much trouble we'd get in if we were to bring one of our dogs to work
May 19, 2015 9:48 AM - bamhm182: My dog and the SSgt's dogs are both well behaved, but I just don't see that going over well at all, haha
May 19, 2015 9:48 AM - bamhm182: Especially because my dog's name is Isis
May 19, 2015 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: lol poor choice
May 19, 2015 9:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: supposedly that is why they got rid of the dog from Downton Abby
May 19, 2015 9:51 AM - bamhm182: That was her kennel name, and we kept it because it's my roommate's dog due to rock paper scissors and the fact that he loves Archer
May 19, 2015 9:51 AM - bamhm182: Then about a month after we got her, ISIS started blowing up the middle east
May 19, 2015 9:53 AM - bamhm182: We've pretty much quit calling her "Isis" though, but because we're lazy, we never came up with a new name for her, so she responds to "Dog" and "Pooch" more than she responds to "Isis"
May 19, 2015 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: ouch
May 19, 2015 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: well if you haven't had her that long you can teach her a new name
May 19, 2015 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/zdi4vgm.jpg organized my small screw drivers with a printed part
May 19, 2015 9:56 AM - bamhm182: I completely forgot that I uploaded this, MK
May 19, 2015 9:56 AM - bamhm182:
May 19, 2015 9:56 AM - bamhm182: Very nice, MK
May 19, 2015 9:56 AM - bamhm182: Did you ever try out my peg board template?
May 19, 2015 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: left to right: good, good, good, ugh what happened to the right side mike? lol
May 19, 2015 9:57 AM - bamhm182: Hahaha
May 19, 2015 9:57 AM - bamhm182: "This goes here, this goes here, this goes here... Oh screw it"
May 19, 2015 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: lmao
May 19, 2015 9:59 AM - bamhm182: I've been meaning to design something like that for my peg boards, but haven't done it yet. Right now I have my spools, my extruder, a couple signs, a bunch of bolt/nut organizers, and a something to hold my color calibrator
May 19, 2015 10:08 AM - jbigler1986: blah
May 19, 2015 10:15 AM - bamhm182: I wish my IR Thermometer would get here already so I could tune these steppers like I want/ :/
May 19, 2015 10:17 AM - bamhm182: I bought one a few months back, and the best thing about it is the laser pointer that my dog can chase around. It's worthless as a thermometer
May 19, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: "This goes here, this goes here, this goes here... Oh screw it"
May 19, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: ^
May 19, 2015 10:18 AM - bamhm182: Haha
May 19, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: it'll look better once i install the bar for my pliers
May 19, 2015 10:19 AM - bamhm182: Did you get a chance to look at my video, MK?
May 19, 2015 10:24 AM - bamhm182: Watching Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. I wonder if anyone made a 3d model of it. I just got some green filament to test out
May 19, 2015 10:24 AM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:297505
May 19, 2015 10:24 AM - bamhm182: Sweeeeet
May 19, 2015 10:37 AM - jbigler1986: i need a new project now
May 19, 2015 10:38 AM - Mike Kelly: not yet been doing work
May 19, 2015 10:40 AM - jbigler1986: can't be true
May 19, 2015 10:41 AM - bamhm182: You could always try Bowden again, jb, hahaha
May 19, 2015 10:41 AM - bamhm182: No problem
May 19, 2015 10:41 AM - jbigler1986: no thanks
May 19, 2015 10:42 AM - bamhm182: Now that I've got my tube figured out, I really do like my bowden setup. I just printed out my oiler that can hold a M6 nut and I think it should work well
May 19, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: i just like the look of bowden on the robo. it's clean
May 19, 2015 10:44 AM - bamhm182: I just need to print out another Greg's Wade body, then I can print out Mike's new modular carriage and make a plate for a single Hex, then print out another Greg's Wade, then swap in the Cyclops and I'll be all ready to hate life from what I've heard
May 19, 2015 10:45 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, I can see that
May 19, 2015 10:45 AM - jbigler1986: i can print at 100mm/s now so speed isn't really what i want
May 19, 2015 10:46 AM - bamhm182: I've had decent prints knocking it up to 120mm/s, even with direct drive
May 19, 2015 10:46 AM - bamhm182: I set it to default at 120mm/s with Bowden, but my extruder makes its noise even more when it's at that speed, so I bumped it back down to 60mm/s
May 19, 2015 10:46 AM - bamhm182: Once I get all that figured out though, I bet the Bowden could easily default to 120mm/s
May 19, 2015 10:49 AM - jbigler1986: i didn't have audio on the video. give me a few
May 19, 2015 11:00 AM - Mike Kelly: bam are you talking about that like hiss sound
May 19, 2015 11:05 AM - daniel871: What are you guys printing at 60mm/s+?
May 19, 2015 11:06 AM - jbigler1986: benchy, ender dragon head. lots of stuff
May 19, 2015 11:07 AM - daniel871: Hell, I thought I was doing good printing Laywood at 40mm/s for the benchy
May 19, 2015 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: 40mm/s is in general pretty slow
May 19, 2015 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: 90mm/s is a good "quick but not insane" speed
May 19, 2015 11:08 AM - daniel871: Same temps?
May 19, 2015 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: yeah same temps
May 19, 2015 11:10 AM - jbigler1986: i printed at around 40mm/s just until a week or so ago
May 19, 2015 11:10 AM - daniel871: I'll have to try that with the Laywood benchy again since it's a relatively short print compared to the other stuff I want to do.
May 19, 2015 11:11 AM - bamhm182: Yes, MK
May 19, 2015 11:11 AM - jbigler1986: not sure how laywood will do at those speeds
May 19, 2015 11:12 AM - bamhm182: Before I switched to Bowden, I would default to 60mm/s, then if I knew the PLA (typically Hatchbox), I would crank it up to 150%. If it was something I really didn't care about minor defects in, I would crank it up to 200%
May 19, 2015 11:13 AM - bamhm182: I'm still trying to get Bowden to work right, so I've pretty much only been printing at 60mm/s, even though that's slower than my direct drive speeds
May 19, 2015 11:13 AM - bamhm182: So any idea what would cause that hissing?
May 19, 2015 11:14 AM - daniel871: Laywood printed just fine using S3D's standard PLA settings.
May 19, 2015 11:14 AM - daniel871: Didn't change a thing.
May 19, 2015 11:14 AM - daniel871: Figure I'd take that and increase the print speed and see if it works or not.
May 19, 2015 11:15 AM - bamhm182: In my opinion, the best way to go about this hobby is trial and error
May 19, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: no clue, that's a new one
May 19, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: 3d printing is a large part art over science
May 19, 2015 11:16 AM - bamhm182: Dang, I was hoping that you would be able to tell me
May 19, 2015 11:17 AM - bamhm182: Oh well, like I said, I have a new IR Thermometer that has good reviews coming in tomorrow. Going to calibrate the drivers and see if it works better
May 19, 2015 11:17 AM - daniel871: I've given up on the SST filament, by the way. Can't even get it to begin printing. Clogs within the first three layers of the Benchy print using the recommended temps.
May 19, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: that's why i'm not really interested in infused filaments
May 19, 2015 11:19 AM - bamhm182: infused filaments? Things like bronzefill?
May 19, 2015 11:19 AM - daniel871: Yeah. I've heard SST is the most finicky one though.
May 19, 2015 11:20 AM - daniel871: The SST is by ProtoPasta though, not sure how good they are compared to ColorFabb.
May 19, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Kelly: bronze/brass/copper/CF/what have you
May 19, 2015 11:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: Only use the CF if you want to make your own nozzles for the volcano hot end
May 19, 2015 11:22 AM - bamhm182: Yeah, they sound cool, but I imagine they're a pain. I'd rather just get good at painting
May 19, 2015 11:23 AM - Mike Kelly: or you use a stainless nozzle
May 19, 2015 11:23 AM - daniel871: Have a SST nozzle on order, but waiting on the long shipping time.
May 19, 2015 11:27 AM - bamhm182: Do you have any idea what the CFM is on the stock Hex fan?
May 19, 2015 11:28 AM - bamhm182: I'm kind of thinking about buying two more of the 40mm fans that I just bought, one for a second parts fan and one for a heat sink fan
May 19, 2015 11:28 AM - bamhm182: But the fans I bought only have JUST under 5 CFM
May 19, 2015 11:29 AM - jbigler1986: parts fan?
May 19, 2015 11:30 AM - bamhm182: No, the heat sink fan
May 19, 2015 11:30 AM - daniel871: You mean the little 20-something mm fan?
May 19, 2015 11:30 AM - bamhm182: yeah, 25mm
May 19, 2015 11:31 AM - bamhm182: I'm planning on upgrading to Mike's modular carriage, and I'm thinking about building a plate that can hold a 40mm fan for a single hex
May 19, 2015 11:31 AM - bamhm182: Just trying to decide if I want to use a 40mm fan or just stick with the current fan since it's free
May 19, 2015 11:33 AM - daniel871: No idea. Probably around 3CFM if not a little less.
May 19, 2015 11:33 AM - jbigler1986: well one of the main reasons to go bowden is to remove weight. I would avoid adding more
May 19, 2015 11:34 AM - bamhm182: I'm thinking it has to be less than a 5 CFM, so the 40mm would probably do a good job of keeping it cool
May 19, 2015 11:34 AM - bamhm182: The main reason for doing bowden for me is to get the cyclops working

 

May 19, 2015 11:34 AM - jbigler1986: it's not much weight you would be adding. but still
May 19, 2015 11:34 AM - bamhm182: Also, another 2 grams of for a 40mm fan instead of a 25mm fan isn't going to matter
May 19, 2015 11:35 AM - daniel871: Not compared to however much is on the extruder itself anyway.
May 19, 2015 11:35 AM - bamhm182: It's like worrying about how heavy the floor mats are in your car you're suping up to race
May 19, 2015 11:37 AM - jbigler1986: every little bit removed helps
May 19, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: 25mm fan keeps it cool enough
May 19, 2015 11:42 AM - bamhm182: The only other thing I'm taking into consideration is noise
May 19, 2015 11:44 AM - bamhm182: The 40mm fan is dead silent, but the 25mm fan is loud, especially recently. I think it might be failing. a 40mm fan wouldn't be difficult to add, instead of a 25mm fan, and if it's quieter, that's cool
May 19, 2015 11:45 AM - jbigler1986: go with the 40 then. Won't hurt anything
May 19, 2015 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I need order silent fan for PSU/hotend/ramps
May 19, 2015 11:49 AM - Mike Kelly: i think the 25mm fan is around 2cfm
May 19, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: at least that's the most i've been able tog et
May 19, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: YO YO
May 19, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: bad example on the car mats though, race cars don't have them
May 19, 2015 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: duncan?
May 19, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i prefer yomega
May 19, 2015 11:51 AM - toy: im shopping for a fan to mount on my hotend.... any suggestions?
May 19, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-60x25m...UTF8&qid=1432061560&sr=8-8&keywords=25+mm+fan
May 19, 2015 11:52 AM - jbigler1986:
May 19, 2015 11:52 AM - bamhm182: That crossed my mind, but that's why I tossed in the bit about suping YOUR car up to race, since most regular cars have floor mats
May 19, 2015 11:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: 60mm?
May 19, 2015 11:53 AM - bamhm182: I would also recommend one from Nocuta, I was going to go with a 40mm fan thoughg
May 19, 2015 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: Duncan Donuts I thought you meant..lol
May 19, 2015 11:53 AM - bamhm182: *though
May 19, 2015 11:53 AM - bamhm182: http://www.amazon.com/40x10mm-Beari...=UTF8&qid=1432061657&sr=8-1&keywords=40mm+fan
May 19, 2015 11:53 AM - jbigler1986: why not go 120
May 19, 2015 11:54 AM - bamhm182: You know what, screw it, this is the fan you need to mount on your hot end http://www.amazon.com/Custom-Acryli...UTF8&qid=1432061703&sr=8-4&keywords=240mm+fan
May 19, 2015 11:54 AM - toy: i have a few nocturua's in my box last time i counted i had like 9 fans
May 19, 2015 11:55 AM - bamhm182: My current box has mostly NZXT fans since that's the case manufacturer, but I've tossed a few Scythe fans in it, they're pretty good
May 19, 2015 11:55 AM - bamhm182: I have the first fan I linked to as a parts fan, it seems to do a good job
May 19, 2015 11:56 AM - bamhm182: I haven't watched a Duncan video in AGES, haha
May 19, 2015 11:56 AM - Mike Glass: most of the 25x25 fans I find are 5-7volts
May 19, 2015 11:57 AM - bamhm182: I won a yo-yo from them via some contest when I was a kid
May 19, 2015 11:57 AM - Mike Kelly: mike did you see my screw driver holder
May 19, 2015 11:58 AM - Mike Glass: Nice, how does it attach?
May 19, 2015 11:58 AM - bamhm182: MK, I think that once I finish printing this extruder, I'm going to print your modular carriage. You sent me the files on 26APR, have you made any significant changes to it since then?
May 19, 2015 11:59 AM - toy: btw did u guys know u can drop the quarter mile time on a STOCK grand national by almost 1 sec by just removing the floor mats
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - jbigler1986: lmao.
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - bamhm182: Well shit, I'll be right back, I have to toss my floor mats in m closet
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - bamhm182: *my
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - jbigler1986: what are they made of 4 inch thick steel
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - Mike Kelly: it slides on some peg board hooks
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - toy: nope
May 19, 2015 12:00 PM - toy: and its not the weight of the floor mats either
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - jbigler1986: push the gas pedal down farther
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - toy: they block the accelerator pedal from going all the way down
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - toy: yup u right
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - bamhm182: Huh
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - jbigler1986: what do i win
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: bad design
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking
May 19, 2015 12:01 PM - toy: well it was 1985
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: Mike I can put my whole weight on them.
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - jbigler1986: that's when everything came with hairspray
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - bamhm182: It's crazy the difference you get printing on Bowden with PFTE tubes instead of FEP
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: nice mike
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - bamhm182: Those the clamps, MG?
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/DS688rG maybe i should mount that fan
May 19, 2015 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: and bam no changes since then
May 19, 2015 12:03 PM - Mike Glass: yea for the t-slots I ordered
May 19, 2015 12:03 PM - bamhm182: Alright, cool. I just modded the plate so it's got no holes. Definitely going to use that for a handful of things
May 19, 2015 12:03 PM - Mike Glass: They are kinda big but should work good.
May 19, 2015 12:03 PM - Mike Kelly: toy you should make the holes for the ptfe tubes/ptc fittings bigger or slots so you have easier access to the ptc
May 19, 2015 12:04 PM - toy: yeah i printed that last nite at around 2/3 in the morning... just a mock up so i can check a few things out
May 19, 2015 12:05 PM - toy: u think pla will hold up to the temp
May 19, 2015 12:05 PM - Mike Kelly: if you don't plan on printing much ABS or nylons sure
May 19, 2015 12:06 PM - jbigler1986: yeah mine is in PLA and i have no issue
May 19, 2015 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: Hasn't melted at all and the heatblock is close
May 19, 2015 12:07 PM - daniel871: Kind of a derail, but this is pretty interesting to read. http://www.complex-systems.com/pdf/21-1-1.pdf
May 19, 2015 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: well solidworks crashed, guess that means i should take lunch
May 19, 2015 12:07 PM - jbigler1986: or go home
May 19, 2015 12:07 PM - toy: u think that 1 nocturua fan should be enough?
May 19, 2015 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i like the way you think
May 19, 2015 12:08 PM - daniel871: That PDF is a study where somebody took a US map, put some food sources on it where the major cities are and tracked where the mold crew paths between them and ended up with a duplicate of the US Highway system.
May 19, 2015 12:08 PM - bamhm182: The 40mm? I think so. It pushes JUST under 5 CFM
May 19, 2015 12:08 PM - Mike Glass: I wanna go home
May 19, 2015 12:08 PM - toy: whats the stock robo? 2 cfm?
May 19, 2015 12:08 PM - bamhm182: I just bought 3 more. 1 for the RAMPS, 1 for the heat sink, and a second for a second parts
May 19, 2015 12:09 PM - bamhm182: Somewhere around there, from what I have heard
May 19, 2015 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: i wish noctura came in other colors
May 19, 2015 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: they are great but damn ugly
May 19, 2015 12:09 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, the brown they use isn't exactly the most appealing color
May 19, 2015 12:09 PM - daniel871: I wish there was a toggle for the LED lights so I could at least turn them off when attempting to print at night.
May 19, 2015 12:10 PM - bamhm182: What LEDs?
May 19, 2015 12:10 PM - daniel871: On the Robo.
May 19, 2015 12:10 PM - bamhm182: I completely replaced those
May 19, 2015 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: i couldn't handle the noise personally
May 19, 2015 12:10 PM - bamhm182: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HSF66JO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
May 19, 2015 12:11 PM - daniel871: Blue light and shadows jumping all over the walls, I can eventually tune out the noise but the shadows moving over my eyelids on top of the noise is enough not to be sleep easily.
May 19, 2015 12:11 PM - bamhm182: I bought those, and I bought some connectors similar to the ones used on the Robo. I ran that LED strip all over the robo's lid and connected it to the power supply by a single connector
May 19, 2015 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.frys.com/product/7931760?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
May 19, 2015 12:11 PM - bamhm182: If I unplug that one connector, all the lights shut off
May 19, 2015 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: i went with those. I have 4 feet
May 19, 2015 12:12 PM - daniel871: I'm going to print the LED light covers off Thingiverse and just set them on top of the LEDs.
May 19, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: that's a hilarious solution
May 19, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: just buy a spst switch
May 19, 2015 12:13 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, there are much better solutions, haha
May 19, 2015 12:13 PM - bamhm182: I personally like the white lights better
May 19, 2015 12:13 PM - daniel871: Looks like even in the photo that it doesn't really work, lol. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:516826
May 19, 2015 12:13 PM - bamhm182: the blue looks cool, but the white is much better for seeing what I'm doing

 

May 19, 2015 12:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i have some white led's from ikea, i want to put those in
May 19, 2015 12:14 PM - daniel871: Yeah, the blue makes everything I print look funny until the print is done and I take it off the bed.
May 19, 2015 12:14 PM - toy: mike do u have a pic of the pctf tube connectors coming out the top of the cyclops.... so i can see the kind of spacing i need
May 19, 2015 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: how much is that bad boy going to weigh
May 19, 2015 12:17 PM - bamhm182:
May 19, 2015 12:17 PM - bamhm182: That is what I have going on at the moment
May 19, 2015 12:18 PM - toy: cool
May 19, 2015 12:18 PM - bamhm182:
May 19, 2015 12:18 PM - bamhm182: I believe I shot that with my current LED setup
May 19, 2015 12:18 PM - bamhm182: I MAY have shot it with my last LED setup though, either way, it will give you a good idea of white vs blue
May 19, 2015 12:22 PM - bamhm182: http://i.imgur.com/0EkNgaI.jpg

May 19, 2015 12:22 PM - bamhm182:
May 19, 2015 12:22 PM - bamhm182: Does that picture work for you, toy?
May 19, 2015 12:23 PM - toy: yeah thx
May 19, 2015 12:23 PM - bamhm182: No problem
May 19, 2015 12:24 PM - toy: hows the spacing work?
May 19, 2015 12:24 PM - bamhm182: What do you mean?
May 19, 2015 12:24 PM - toy: no problems removing the tube?
May 19, 2015 12:25 PM - bamhm182: It's kind of hard to put my finger in there to press down on the releasers, but I can do it
May 19, 2015 12:25 PM - bamhm182: It's eas
May 19, 2015 12:25 PM - toy: word
May 19, 2015 12:25 PM - bamhm182: It's easy if you use a flat head screwdriver to press down on the releasers
May 19, 2015 12:26 PM - bamhm182: That's Mike's modular carriage from Thingiverse if you want an STL to see the exact spacing
May 19, 2015 12:27 PM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681916
May 19, 2015 12:29 PM - Mike Kelly: i use a screw driver or allen wrench to push down the connector
May 19, 2015 12:37 PM - Stephen Capistron: open end of a wrench
May 19, 2015 12:38 PM - Mike Kelly: it's just much harder without that slot openin
May 19, 2015 12:38 PM - Mike Kelly: not saying it's impossible but i was annoyed by it
May 19, 2015 12:41 PM - toy: ugh i shouldnt be designing parts in my sleep.... all my hole patterns where slightly off lol
May 19, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly:
May 19, 2015 12:50 PM - bamhm182: I shouldn't be designing parts in my slightly drunk/sleep deprived state... All my everything is messed up, haha
May 19, 2015 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: toy do you have a normal job?
May 19, 2015 1:27 PM - Mike Glass: normal as yours JB?
May 19, 2015 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: well no. just a day job i suppose
May 19, 2015 1:36 PM - toy: is it me or does taylor swift look like goldie
May 19, 2015 1:40 PM - toy: normal job? i made alot of money when i was young...
May 19, 2015 1:41 PM - daniel871: Who?
May 19, 2015 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: drugs? jk
May 19, 2015 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: that's good
May 19, 2015 1:41 PM - daniel871: Prostitution maybe?
May 19, 2015 1:42 PM - jbigler1986: he does live in texas
May 19, 2015 1:42 PM - toy: <--los angeles
May 19, 2015 1:42 PM - daniel871: Oh! Human trafficking.
May 19, 2015 1:42 PM - jbigler1986: oh. nvm. thought it was texas

May 19, 2015 1:42 PM - daniel871: Back to drugs then.
May 19, 2015 1:42 PM - toy: if u know what i mean
May 19, 2015 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: i got it
May 19, 2015 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: more power to ya
May 19, 2015 1:43 PM - toy: economics =)
May 19, 2015 1:43 PM - daniel871: The late 90's sucked for music, but at least it was memorable.
May 19, 2015 1:44 PM - daniel871: Also holy crap I feel old remembering that.
May 19, 2015 1:44 PM - toy: supply and demand
May 19, 2015 1:45 PM - daniel871: The spanish Breaking Bad knock-off show is hilarious.
May 19, 2015 1:50 PM - daniel871:
May 19, 2015 1:51 PM - donhuevo: so I'm printing a golf tee
May 19, 2015 1:51 PM - donhuevo: just to see if I could
May 19, 2015 1:52 PM - daniel871: What material?
May 19, 2015 1:52 PM - donhuevo: PLA but if I like it, I'll print usable ones with bridge
May 19, 2015 1:54 PM - donhuevo:
May 19, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: never thought about that genius
May 19, 2015 1:58 PM - donhuevo: we'll see. I haven't had to use a brim in forever but needed one for this
May 19, 2015 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: Let me know how it works. I'm always breaking and losing tees
May 19, 2015 2:48 PM - donhuevo: definitely. That's why I'm hoping a nylon will flex instead of break
May 19, 2015 2:48 PM - Mike Glass: bridge?
May 19, 2015 2:48 PM - donhuevo: that's what I have on hand
May 19, 2015 2:53 PM - donhuevo: printing one of these now... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:53451
May 19, 2015 2:53 PM - donhuevo: as fast as possible
May 19, 2015 3:01 PM - Mike Glass: what are you going to be using that for?
May 19, 2015 3:02 PM - donhuevo: hours of entertainment?
May 19, 2015 3:02 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
May 19, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Glass: I wish I could use my bridge
May 19, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Glass: hex dont like it
May 19, 2015 3:02 PM - donhuevo: I never printed one before and ran across it while researching bridge settings
May 19, 2015 3:03 PM - donhuevo: oooh
May 19, 2015 3:03 PM - donhuevo: I bought a roll about 8 months ago and haven't tried it yet.
May 19, 2015 3:03 PM - Mike Glass: I thought you just printed with it?
May 19, 2015 3:04 PM - donhuevo: no sir. printed a PLA prototype tee and the bearing is also PLA
May 19, 2015 3:04 PM - Mike Glass: oh, I thought you only printed in ABS
May 19, 2015 3:04 PM - donhuevo: the bridge is still factory sealed
May 19, 2015 3:04 PM - donhuevo: haha
May 19, 2015 3:08 PM - Mike Glass: are you printing the 5 or 6 gear one?
May 19, 2015 3:09 PM - donhuevo: 6
May 19, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Glass: I might have to try that one
May 19, 2015 3:10 PM - donhuevo: I'll let you know how mine turns out
May 19, 2015 3:11 PM - Mike Glass: what Resolution you at
May 19, 2015 3:11 PM - donhuevo: doing .2
May 19, 2015 3:11 PM - donhuevo: 40% infill
May 19, 2015 3:11 PM - Mike Glass: 90 speed
May 19, 2015 3:12 PM - jbigler1986: next gear i print will be for that clock. that looks like a fun project
May 19, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: http://i.imgur.com/QMmYOWp.jpg the fast column
May 19, 2015 3:14 PM - donhuevo: as soon as dvdfab finishes, I'll fire up the camera
May 19, 2015 3:16 PM - Mike Glass: clock? or a Glock
May 19, 2015 3:16 PM - donhuevo: ummmm
May 19, 2015 3:16 PM - donhuevo: que?
May 19, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: Let me see if I can find it
May 19, 2015 3:17 PM - Mike Glass: Sabías que Tina y Héctor se dejaron?
May 19, 2015 3:17 PM - donhuevo: looks like ustream is having issues

 

May 19, 2015 3:17 PM - donhuevo: Tina is putting spicy mustard on Hector this Saturday?
May 19, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Glass: ¡Qué va!

May 19, 2015 3:18 PM - donhuevo: that does look like a fun print
May 19, 2015 3:19 PM - Mike Glass: ¿en qué lo notas?
May 19, 2015 3:20 PM - donhuevo: donde esta stop it.
May 19, 2015 3:20 PM - Mike Glass: no sé qué quiere decir...lol
May 19, 2015 3:20 PM - donhuevo: no, I can't decide
May 19, 2015 3:20 PM - Mike Glass: That was I dont know what it means
May 19, 2015 3:21 PM - donhuevo: ah
May 19, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Glass: been trying to learn the language but its so confusing
May 19, 2015 3:21 PM - donhuevo: I think it was the most interesting man in the world that said, 'If you don't speak Spanish, don't be telling people hola'
May 19, 2015 3:22 PM - jbigler1986: Spanish is difficult. Especially writing it
May 19, 2015 3:23 PM - donhuevo: interesting punctuation
May 19, 2015 3:23 PM - donhuevo: have to say, I'm a big tilde fan
May 19, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: mettez le huevo

May 19, 2015 3:27 PM - Mike Glass: don=mettez
May 19, 2015 3:28 PM - donhuevo: I use the don like Don Pablo
May 19, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Glass: ahh time to drive home now. vea el ya pronto
May 19, 2015 3:29 PM - donhuevo: asta luego
May 19, 2015 3:32 PM - jbigler1986: Get your stream up?
May 19, 2015 3:32 PM - donhuevo: nope. still won't connect
May 19, 2015 3:35 PM - jbigler1986: Ustream is rather annoying sometimes
May 19, 2015 3:35 PM - donhuevo: who else offers free streaming?
May 19, 2015 3:40 PM - jbigler1986: Vaughnlive.tv I didn't like it though
May 19, 2015 3:40 PM - donhuevo: ustream is definitely down with no estimate when things will be fixed.
May 19, 2015 3:41 PM - donhuevo: it's only got 20 layers left now anyway
May 19, 2015 4:00 PM - TechSupportGo: hello
May 19, 2015 4:01 PM - donhuevo: hey
May 19, 2015 4:03 PM - TechSupportGo: Started printing my guitar. Turning out great so far
May 19, 2015 4:03 PM - donhuevo: cool!
May 19, 2015 4:07 PM - Bill Monroe: Did I leave my car keys in here?
May 19, 2015 4:08 PM - TechSupportGo: ask google where you left your keys
May 19, 2015 4:08 PM - donhuevo: check the lost and found
May 19, 2015 4:09 PM - Bill Monroe: I asked Siri and she said to check here
May 19, 2015 4:09 PM - TechSupportGo: would it surprise you to know that I have a 48 year old brother who cant read and write
May 19, 2015 4:09 PM - donhuevo: yes it would
May 19, 2015 4:09 PM - TechSupportGo: he never went to school
May 19, 2015 4:09 PM - Bill Monroe: uuh ya.. I get it.. so.. Did my brother leave my car keys in here?
May 19, 2015 4:10 PM - Bill Monroe: cuz you know.. "my brother" <wink>
May 19, 2015 4:10 PM - Bill Monroe: so I'm not the only one getting ustreamed
May 19, 2015 4:10 PM - TechSupportGo: I remember once he left a note on the door and it was stick figures I was like WTF
May 19, 2015 4:13 PM - Bill Monroe: did you guess a letter?
May 19, 2015 4:31 PM - TechSupportGo: naaa I could tell it was a guy a dog and a little house, that meant he dropped off the dog house lol
May 19, 2015 4:35 PM - TechSupportGo: I just bridged a 3 inch gap with the black widow

May 19, 2015 4:53 PM - TechSupportGo: the government has randomly selected you for a 6000$ grant
May 19, 2015 4:54 PM - jbigler1986: Bill
May 19, 2015 5:00 PM - jbigler1986: Have you done the bridge test TSG?
May 19, 2015 5:04 PM - TechSupportGo: which one?
May 19, 2015 5:11 PM - Droid: nah Ive been getting the Microsoft tech support spam/scam calling the home phone again, Im just going to change my answering machine to fax sounds
May 19, 2015 5:23 PM - jbigler1986: Anybody printing anything interesting
May 19, 2015 5:25 PM - Mike Kelly: working on some peg board deals
May 19, 2015 5:26 PM - jbigler1986: I will be printing something after I install this ram. Not sure what yet
May 19, 2015 5:26 PM - TechSupportGo: guitar
May 19, 2015 5:27 PM - TechSupportGo: big press release with files no support

May 19, 2015 5:35 PM - jbigler1986: Looks so small compared to everything else. Lol
May 19, 2015 5:35 PM - toy: going for max speed maybe?
May 19, 2015 5:36 PM - jbigler1986: Is wiring all you have left besides the extruders?
May 19, 2015 5:36 PM - toy: u can see i balanced the whole machine also
May 19, 2015 5:37 PM - toy: pretty much.....

May 19, 2015 5:38 PM - toy: im gonna anodize it
May 19, 2015 5:38 PM - jbigler1986: That looks awesome man
May 19, 2015 5:38 PM - toy: eventually
May 19, 2015 5:38 PM - toy: im still in the pre-testing phase
May 19, 2015 5:40 PM - toy: it glides really nice on the x axis linear rail... no bounce, no vibrations
May 19, 2015 5:44 PM - daniel871: well, laywood is printing the benchy at 100mm/s right now.
May 19, 2015 5:46 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/OyNORjm
May 19, 2015 5:49 PM - daniel871: or I should say the robo is orinting a laywood benchy at that speed.
May 19, 2015 5:50 PM - daniel871: printing. gah. phone posting.

May 19, 2015 6:28 PM - Mike Kelly: What is that anyways tsg?
May 19, 2015 6:29 PM - Mike Glass: Hey toy, that dail inductor I see in your picture, I used to have one of those, used it to tune hbo back in the day, and used it with shortband radio..
May 19, 2015 6:30 PM - Mike Glass: What you up to MK?
May 19, 2015 6:31 PM - Mike Kelly: Oh not a whole lot
May 19, 2015 6:31 PM - Mike Kelly: Printing some pegboard things
May 19, 2015 6:34 PM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/ZTsXV5G these are what im working on.
May 19, 2015 6:35 PM - jbigler1986: Should have made it so you could pause it and insert the nut then continue the print
May 19, 2015 6:35 PM - TechSupportGo: electric guitar
May 19, 2015 6:35 PM - Mike Glass: Printing one by one at each speed to see what the differences in tolerance

 

May 19, 2015 6:35 PM - Mike Glass: I would have to break the bed as they are press fit
May 19, 2015 6:36 PM - jbigler1986: Redesign it
May 19, 2015 6:36 PM - jbigler1986: Just a thought
May 19, 2015 6:37 PM - Mike Glass: nope, they work as designed, printing those at 75 holy hell
May 19, 2015 6:39 PM - Mike Glass:
May 19, 2015 6:46 PM - jbigler1986: Go to 100. See how crazy that gets
May 19, 2015 6:47 PM - Mike Glass: im gonna after this other one is done, I have one more to do
May 19, 2015 6:47 PM - Mike Glass: I did 65,70 and75 so far
May 19, 2015 6:49 PM - jbigler1986: I think you will be surprised
May 19, 2015 6:53 PM - Mike Glass: at how much noise its gonna make?
May 19, 2015 6:54 PM - Mike Glass: it was 3 min difference from 65 to 75
May 19, 2015 6:56 PM - daniel871: bah. Benchy lost grip with the bed at 60% of the print.
May 19, 2015 6:56 PM - Mike Glass: bad first layer?
May 19, 2015 6:57 PM - daniel871: must have been. that or something went wonky at 100mm/s and it pulled on it.
May 19, 2015 6:57 PM - Mike Glass: You would have to chisel mine off any temp above 40c
May 19, 2015 7:00 PM - daniel871: any idea what the x stepper motor weighs? I need to put a counter weight on the other end of the axis to cut vibration.
May 19, 2015 7:01 PM - daniel871: if I lightly press on the other end, the printer gets much quieter.
May 19, 2015 7:01 PM - Mike Glass: http://vaughnlive.tv/coolreactions here we go at 100
May 19, 2015 7:18 PM - jbigler1986: Daniel let me get you a weight box for that. 1 sec. You can fill it with whatever you want to get the right weight. I just used a bunch of coins

May 19, 2015 7:28 PM - jbigler1986: Brandon finally responded
May 19, 2015 7:29 PM - jbigler1986: He said he just saw the email. Lol
May 19, 2015 7:29 PM - jbigler1986: Braydon
May 19, 2015 7:29 PM - Mike Kelly: Haha nice. He gonna help you out?
May 19, 2015 7:31 PM - jbigler1986: He is willing to yeah. Not bad on a new one. Also offered a good deal on a refurbished one. Not sure what all is done to those. I asked him
May 19, 2015 7:32 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/IkcjDdx.jpg Happy now?
May 19, 2015 7:32 PM - Mike Kelly: Yeah mines a refurb
May 19, 2015 7:33 PM - jbigler1986: Haha. Looks awesome.
May 19, 2015 7:33 PM - jbigler1986: Your 1.6?
May 19, 2015 7:33 PM - Stephen Capistron: Glass cutter still looks loose
May 19, 2015 7:34 PM - mikej997: Hey all
May 19, 2015 7:34 PM - Mike Kelly: Right
May 19, 2015 7:35 PM - Mike Kelly: Yeah I have no idea what to do with the glass cutter or the torx driver
May 19, 2015 7:35 PM - mikej997: Mike, I'm looking for the wiring diagram for the ramps board. I got a replacement from Robo and having issues.
May 19, 2015 7:35 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/L5x1cPH.jpg
May 19, 2015 7:35 PM - Mike Kelly: They used to have a video on it mikej
May 19, 2015 7:35 PM - mikej997: I've looked in the forums but the one I keep running across doesn't match
May 19, 2015 7:36 PM - Mike Kelly: Not super happy with the bar. Especially on the vise grips
May 19, 2015 7:36 PM - mikej997: is the video under tech support?
May 19, 2015 7:36 PM - jbigler1986: Sent you a pm mike
May 19, 2015 7:37 PM - Stephen Capistron: Flip the vise grips over and lightly grip the bar
May 19, 2015 7:37 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm not sure mike, here's the image i use: http://i.imgur.com/J3UXUYs.gif
May 19, 2015 7:38 PM - Mike Kelly: i think i might just grip the vise on some hooks
May 19, 2015 7:39 PM - mikej997: That is the one I found. The plugs on mine don't have the same wiring order, not really something I could have screwed up.
May 19, 2015 7:40 PM - mikej997: I just replaced the Ramps and the printer starts and gets into the auto level and then flakes out. The LED's started flashing and the movement got jerky then it went dark.
May 19, 2015 7:40 PM - Mike Kelly: uh
May 19, 2015 7:41 PM - mikej997: I can shut it down for a while and get a repeat performance. Can't find any loose connections. All manual movement is correct. Bed heats, extruder heats.
May 19, 2015 7:41 PM - Mike Kelly: that doesn't sound good
May 19, 2015 7:41 PM - mikej997: dunno. I was wondering if I flipped a plug or something dumb
May 19, 2015 7:41 PM - Mike Kelly: might be an overheating polyfuse
May 19, 2015 7:41 PM - jbigler1986: Electrical. Boooooo
May 19, 2015 7:42 PM - mikej997: Do they test the boards before shipping? I just got it from Robo and it has been on for a total of about 3 minutes now.
May 19, 2015 7:42 PM - mikej997: Unless the polyfuse is bad... don't see how it could overheat yet
May 19, 2015 7:43 PM - Stephen Capistron: This is not the case here, but it is funny how most people think it is or want it to be the software that is the issue
May 19, 2015 7:44 PM - jbigler1986: That's bc that's the easiest to fix
May 19, 2015 7:44 PM - Stephen Capistron: Fan connection seated well?
May 19, 2015 7:44 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't know for certain it's just a guess
May 19, 2015 7:44 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd need to see a picture of your wiring
May 19, 2015 7:45 PM - Stephen Capistron: This is one of the main downsides of the radii no placement
May 19, 2015 7:45 PM - Stephen Capistron: Arduino is radii no
May 19, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm not familiar with this word
May 19, 2015 7:46 PM - jbigler1986: Auto correct?
May 19, 2015 7:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: Yup
May 19, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Kelly: ohh
May 19, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Kelly: wtf auto correct? radii?
May 19, 2015 7:47 PM - Stephen Capistron: And I was too lazy to poke around on the screen to fix it
May 19, 2015 7:47 PM - Mike Kelly: understood
May 19, 2015 7:47 PM - Stephen Capistron: Not just radii, "radii no"
May 19, 2015 7:47 PM - Stephen Capistron: From this day hence forth, my robo is powered by a radii no
May 19, 2015 7:48 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 19, 2015 7:48 PM - Stephen Capistron: With a fillet to support the stepper chamfers
May 19, 2015 7:48 PM - Mike Glass: Probably the same problem I had all the wires hanging on the connectors by a thread.
May 19, 2015 7:50 PM - Droid: something I'm workin on probably gonna deconstruct it to print in pieces though
May 19, 2015 7:50 PM - Mike Kelly: neat
May 19, 2015 7:51 PM - Mike Glass: could you convert that to slat
May 19, 2015 7:52 PM - Droid: probably wouldnt be to hard
May 19, 2015 7:52 PM - Droid: took alot of support to print it as is
May 19, 2015 7:53 PM - Mike Glass: I saw not difference in print quality between 65 and 100mm/s I think there is a limit as it didnt really seem faster after 75
May 19, 2015 7:53 PM - jbigler1986: 80 to 100 i can tell a difference
May 19, 2015 7:53 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah most printing speeds are from acceleration and jerk settings
May 19, 2015 7:53 PM - jbigler1986: in speed
May 19, 2015 7:54 PM - Mike Glass: thats what I thought, I have not messed with those settings
May 19, 2015 7:54 PM - jbigler1986: ram upgrade. this thing is running beautiful now
May 19, 2015 7:54 PM - Mike Kelly: 8gig now?
May 19, 2015 7:55 PM - Mike Glass: 12gig?
May 19, 2015 7:55 PM - Mike Kelly: SIXTEEN?!
May 19, 2015 7:55 PM - Mike Glass: do I hear 32
May 19, 2015 7:55 PM - jbigler1986: 6gb
May 19, 2015 7:55 PM - Mike Glass: BOOO
May 19, 2015 7:55 PM - jbigler1986: 64gb
May 19, 2015 7:56 PM - mikej997: Looks like I may have lost the power supply
May 19, 2015 7:56 PM - Mike Glass: the servers I just provisioned have 384 gigs of memory
May 19, 2015 7:56 PM - jbigler1986: MG you about ready to order those steppers?

 

May 19, 2015 7:56 PM - mikej997: Mike, have you heard of that with the heated bed connector issue?
May 19, 2015 7:56 PM - Mike Kelly: did you short out the power supply?
May 19, 2015 7:57 PM - mikej997: I've replaced the bed element and now the ramps board.
May 19, 2015 7:57 PM - Mike Glass: I am, but MK need to wait till next month I think
May 19, 2015 7:57 PM - mikej997: I'm disconnecting everything from the Ramps now to trouble shoot but when I put load, just the extruder heat or just the bed heat the power to the ramps goes from 12V to 5 or 6
May 19, 2015 7:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i was gonna look into upgrading my work PC with a server mobo but i don't think i have the budget
May 19, 2015 7:58 PM - jbigler1986: ok. probably gonna have another robo on the way soon
May 19, 2015 7:58 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm that's strange
May 19, 2015 7:59 PM - jbigler1986: brb need to put the case back on this
May 19, 2015 8:00 PM - Mike Kelly: i want linear rods but i'm still hoping i can get some from robo and upgrade the 1.6
May 19, 2015 8:01 PM - mikej997: does the fan run continuously on the power supply when on?
May 19, 2015 8:01 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
May 19, 2015 8:02 PM - mikej997: ok, yeah... it isn't running. Might be part of the issue, still it isn't hot but may have been damaged
May 19, 2015 8:02 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah could be a damaged psu
May 19, 2015 8:02 PM - Mike Glass: im not touching mine, works like a dream, getting awesome prints, I just want the linear for the BAP..
May 19, 2015 8:02 PM - mikej997: Geez! I'm gonna have a new robo by the time I'm done with it.
May 19, 2015 8:03 PM - Droid: uploaded my can holder work in progress http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:837716
May 19, 2015 8:03 PM - mikej997: Thanks for your help once again Mike. I'll order one tomorrow.
May 19, 2015 8:04 PM - mikej997: I guess I have got a lot of miles out of it though. My cumulative print time was coming on two months. I've had several good 48 hour prints.
May 19, 2015 8:05 PM - Mike Kelly: here's a good one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D7CWSCG...UTF8&colid=15ARYHDHPHOVI&coliid=IWDX54R37X063
May 19, 2015 8:06 PM - mikej997: My 3 kids all used it in their science fair projects. Two of them went to the state competition and my oldest just competed at the Intel Interanational Science Fair
May 19, 2015 8:06 PM - Mike Kelly: awesome
May 19, 2015 8:06 PM - mikej997: That is cheaper than I thought it would be. Thanks Mike!
May 19, 2015 8:07 PM - Mike Kelly: np
May 19, 2015 8:07 PM - mikej997: Robo Brian wants me to get him some photos of it for their propaganda.
May 19, 2015 8:09 PM - Mike Glass: thats the PS I bought for the CNC
May 19, 2015 8:09 PM - jbigler1986: What should I print to test the craftware?
May 19, 2015 8:11 PM - Mike Kelly: that's a good question
May 19, 2015 8:14 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
May 19, 2015 8:17 PM - Mike Glass: print my knob I just made at 100
May 19, 2015 8:19 PM - Droid:
May 19, 2015 8:19 PM - Mike Glass: ahah, yeah sounded dirty
May 19, 2015 8:37 PM - leeboy4130: question.... when the printer is powered on, should the ramps board fan come on also or does it only come on when it gets hot?
May 19, 2015 8:39 PM - Mike Glass: always on
May 19, 2015 8:42 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
May 19, 2015 8:42 PM - jbigler1986: craftware test print
May 19, 2015 8:44 PM - jbigler1986: just used there robot they had and generated auto support. there are a ton of settings you can fine tune. we shal see how most default settings work
May 19, 2015 8:45 PM - jbigler1986: shit forgot i had a different nozzle on. woops
May 19, 2015 8:45 PM - Mike Glass: its slow as molassssessss
May 19, 2015 8:46 PM - jbigler1986: first layer
May 19, 2015 8:46 PM - jbigler1986: take 2 in a minute
May 19, 2015 8:47 PM - Mike Glass: I was ripping my first layer down at 60
May 19, 2015 8:47 PM - jbigler1986: there fixed that too. one sec
May 19, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: used cura start and end gcode
May 19, 2015 8:48 PM - Mike Glass: this was at 100
May 19, 2015 8:50 PM - jbigler1986: it prints good at 100
May 19, 2015 8:53 PM - jbigler1986: looks good so far
May 19, 2015 9:00 PM - Mike Glass: im printing the gear bearing

 

May 19, 2015 9:00 PM - jbigler1986: should be
May 19, 2015 9:00 PM - jbigler1986: refresh
May 19, 2015 9:00 PM - Mike Glass: ok now its working
May 19, 2015 9:02 PM - jbigler1986: internet is being a slut right now
May 19, 2015 9:03 PM - jbigler1986: I have a feeling the support is going to come loose from the bed because there isn't much holding it
May 19, 2015 9:04 PM - jbigler1986: well i'm calling it a night. will see how it turned out in the morning
May 19, 2015 9:06 PM - Mike Glass: night
May 19, 2015 9:10 PM - bamhm182: Man, working nights throws me off so bad
May 19, 2015 9:10 PM - Droid: just figured out the next thing I wanna print is gonna have to be done in 3 pieces totalling over 95 hours and 5 lbs of filament
May 19, 2015 9:11 PM - bamhm182: Damn
May 19, 2015 9:11 PM - bamhm182: What is it?
May 19, 2015 9:11 PM - Droid: a fountain
May 19, 2015 9:12 PM - toy: nice
May 19, 2015 9:12 PM - toy: pic?
May 19, 2015 9:12 PM - Droid: something Ive been working on, for a pond, a animal "spitting" fountain
May 19, 2015 9:12 PM - toy: i made a fountain before but it wasnt to 95 hours lol
May 19, 2015 9:14 PM - Printed Solid: jeebus. maybe reslice it with lighter settings? that's a lot of filament!
May 19, 2015 9:15 PM - bamhm182: MG... هل تعرف لغة العربية؟
May 19, 2015 9:15 PM - Printed Solid: um. ok
May 19, 2015 9:15 PM - Droid: still working on it but this is just the head
May 19, 2015 9:16 PM - bamhm182: Sorry, scrolled up to the top and MG said he's tired in Arabic. I asked him if he knew arabic
May 19, 2015 9:16 PM - Mike Glass: دوه
May 19, 2015 9:16 PM - Printed Solid: ah. OK. I'm also MG, just not by user name.
May 19, 2015 9:16 PM - Mike Glass: This is true Matt..lol
May 19, 2015 9:16 PM - bamhm182: Oh, haha. To many Mikes.
May 19, 2015 9:17 PM - Printed Solid: That's pretty cool. Yeah, I could see how that would happen.
May 19, 2015 9:17 PM - Printed Solid: meh. matt, mike, I'm used to it.
May 19, 2015 9:17 PM - bamhm182: ما شاء الله
May 19, 2015 9:17 PM - Droid: I may be ordering some more filament sooner that I though if Im gonna print it in its current scale
May 19, 2015 9:19 PM - Droid: yeah Im gonna change a few settings matt but its still going to take alot
May 19, 2015 9:19 PM - Mike Glass: أي فكرة
May 19, 2015 9:20 PM - Mike Glass: I hope this bearing works
May 19, 2015 9:20 PM - bamhm182: من وين علمتها و تعرف فصحى او لهجة؟
May 19, 2015 9:20 PM - Mike Glass: is that a pug droid?
May 19, 2015 9:22 PM - bamhm182: علمت لهجة العراقية في العسكرية
May 19, 2015 9:22 PM - bamhm182: I think it's hiis fountain
May 19, 2015 9:23 PM - Mike Glass: I dont know it bam, just google translation..lol
May 19, 2015 9:24 PM - bamhm182: Oh, haha
May 19, 2015 9:24 PM - bamhm182: Well nevermind
May 19, 2015 9:25 PM - bamhm182: I studied it for like two years a few years back, can never find anyone who speaks it though. >_<
May 19, 2015 9:26 PM - Mike Glass: I have hard enough time with english
May 19, 2015 9:26 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 19, 2015 9:27 PM - Mike Glass: I am trying to learn spanish and french when I have time
May 19, 2015 9:27 PM - bamhm182: Both useful languages.
May 19, 2015 9:29 PM - Mike Glass: so you work nights now?
May 19, 2015 9:29 PM - bamhm182: I took spanish in high school. I used to be pretty good at it, but these days all I remember how to say is the crazy stuff
May 19, 2015 9:30 PM - bamhm182: Soy burro y yo quiero mucho cocaína
May 19, 2015 9:30 PM - bamhm182: Yeah, not working tonight though
May 19, 2015 9:30 PM - bamhm182: For me, right now it's noon on Sunday
May 19, 2015 9:31 PM - Droid: french bulldog MG
May 19, 2015 9:31 PM - Mike Glass: gotcha, kinda close
May 19, 2015 9:32 PM - bamhm182: Have you printed anything that spits water before, droid?
May 19, 2015 9:34 PM - Droid: no
May 19, 2015 9:35 PM - bamhm182: Make sure you do a higher infill and maybe more parameter walls
May 19, 2015 9:35 PM - bamhm182: *perimeter
May 19, 2015 9:36 PM - toy: im thinkiong about putting the x-axis limit switch on the carriage
May 19, 2015 9:36 PM - Droid: I have a tube designed into it but I'll probably line it with some flex tube aswell
May 19, 2015 9:36 PM - bamhm182: I printed the T-Rex Skull shower head with two perimeter walls and 15% infill and the water would seep into the skull and then out of the outside
May 19, 2015 9:37 PM - bamhm182: It looked like it was sweating. I fixed it by taking some clear spray paint and giving the part that touches the water a few coats on the inside
May 19, 2015 9:37 PM - Droid: just at 3 perimenters and 25% infill Im at over 95 hours
May 19, 2015 9:37 PM - bamhm182: MK did that mainly due to the fact that he wanted less wires
May 19, 2015 9:37 PM - toy: or maybe bump up the amount of filament being extruded
May 19, 2015 9:38 PM - TechSupportGo: droid whatcha printin?
May 19, 2015 9:39 PM - Droid: a french bulldog "spitting" fountain for a pond decoration
May 19, 2015 9:39 PM - Droid: havent started it yet, need to decide filament and get more
May 19, 2015 9:39 PM - Mike Glass: you could make a mold then cast it out of concrete
May 19, 2015 9:40 PM - Droid: was thinking of going that route too
May 19, 2015 9:41 PM - bamhm182: There's proof I have no class. If I were to make a spitting fountain, I'd want to make it something like a sasquatch.
May 19, 2015 9:42 PM - Mike Glass: I was thinking Courtney Love..lol
May 19, 2015 9:42 PM - bamhm182: hahaha
May 19, 2015 9:42 PM - bamhm182: I mean, same thing, right?
May 19, 2015 9:42 PM - Mike Glass: pretty much so
May 19, 2015 9:43 PM - Mike Glass: sasquatch is probably less hairy
May 19, 2015 9:43 PM - bamhm182: Haha
May 19, 2015 9:46 PM - Mike Glass: ok I better get to bed, see ya guys later
May 19, 2015 9:46 PM - bamhm182: later
May 19, 2015 9:47 PM - Mike Glass: النوم ضيق لا تدع لدغة بق الفراش
May 19, 2015 9:48 PM - TechSupportGo: wth
May 19, 2015 9:48 PM - bamhm182: lol
May 19, 2015 9:48 PM - bamhm182: I wonder if they have a phrase like that
May 19, 2015 9:50 PM - bamhm182: TSG, I was reading through some of the messages from earlier today, and MG posted something in Arabic, so I thought he knew Arabic and tried speaking it with him, then he said he was using google translate
May 19, 2015 9:56 PM - TechSupportGo: I know som
May 19, 2015 9:57 PM - bamhm182: Nice
May 19, 2015 9:57 PM - bamhm182: From deployments?
May 19, 2015 10:01 PM - toy: the D word
May 19, 2015 10:01 PM - bamhm182: haha
May 19, 2015 10:01 PM - TechSupportGo: yeah
May 19, 2015 10:02 PM - bamhm182: Definitely a good language to know for the military, it's hard to keep up with if you don't have anyone to speak it with though
May 19, 2015 10:02 PM - toy: ive been stuck listening to the same album over and over for the last week
May 19, 2015 10:02 PM - toy:
May 19, 2015 10:03 PM - bamhm182: Good thing I just woke up, because with that thing in my mind, it'd be hard to go to sleep.
May 19, 2015 10:06 PM - bamhm182: I like the music though
May 19, 2015 11:47 PM - bamhm182: This came on after that album you linked, toy. Nice background music
May 20, 2015 3:05 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
May 20, 2015 3:45 AM - bamhm182: Morning, jb
May 20, 2015 3:54 AM - jbigler1986: brb. taking the kids to school then work
May 20, 2015 3:55 AM - bamhm182: Putting your kids to work while they're still in grade school, I like your style
May 20, 2015 4:25 AM - bamhm182:
May 20, 2015 4:25 AM - bamhm182: I need to figure out where I can put more fans on this guy
May 20, 2015 4:25 AM - bamhm182: I've only got four 40x40x10 fans on there. >_<

 

May 20, 2015 4:33 AM - Shank: how do you not have a problem with cooling the extruder temp down to much and getting a min temp. error
May 20, 2015 4:34 AM - bamhm182: I don't actually have that
May 20, 2015 4:35 AM - bamhm182: I was just making a plate for MK's modular carriage and a single hex and went "Hold on, let's go NUTS with fans!"
May 20, 2015 4:36 AM - Shank: i was going to say. i had a design i put on mine and couldnt run my fans at full power, because it would error out.
May 20, 2015 4:39 AM - bamhm182: Haha
May 20, 2015 4:39 AM - bamhm182: I am thinking about dual parts fans though
May 20, 2015 4:39 AM - bamhm182: But only one heat sink fan
May 20, 2015 4:40 AM - Shank: you only really need one heat sink fan per extruder
May 20, 2015 4:40 AM - bamhm182: Yeah
May 20, 2015 4:41 AM - Shank: i hate leaving my printer unattended when running a part for the first time, i might need to run home for lunch
May 20, 2015 4:42 AM - bamhm182: Haha, I know that feeling
May 20, 2015 4:43 AM - Shank: i want to start looking into a dual extruder, it would be nice to run two colors or to materials
May 20, 2015 4:43 AM - bamhm182: I'm currently working on it
May 20, 2015 4:43 AM - bamhm182: Just made the jump to Bowden
May 20, 2015 4:44 AM - bamhm182: It's at a quality that I find acceptable, so now I'm moving onto the next part, upgrading the carriage, then I'm getting two bowdens to work independently, then I'm going to swap in the Cyclops
May 20, 2015 4:46 AM - Shank: i havent even started looking into it, i think the firmware is what will kill me
May 20, 2015 4:47 AM - bamhm182: why?
May 20, 2015 4:50 AM - Shank: i know nothing about the firmware side of things
May 20, 2015 4:50 AM - bamhm182: I don't know as much as I probably should, but on the plus side, the firmware is already made if you're going to the Cyclops
May 20, 2015 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: back
May 20, 2015 4:54 AM - Shank: i like the chimera having two temps would be nice
May 20, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: its a big headache no matter what dual you go with
May 20, 2015 4:54 AM - bamhm182: You see my fans, jb?
May 20, 2015 4:55 AM - jbigler1986: i did not
May 20, 2015 4:55 AM - bamhm182: Scroll up to just after you left.
May 20, 2015 4:55 AM - bamhm182: SO MANY FANS
May 20, 2015 4:55 AM - jbigler1986: those aren't angled below the nozzle?
May 20, 2015 4:56 AM - bamhm182: Not according to Mike
May 20, 2015 4:56 AM - jbigler1986: oh did you edit his design
May 20, 2015 4:57 AM - bamhm182: Didn't really do anything to his carriage
May 20, 2015 4:57 AM - bamhm182: Oh, by the way, the bits with the hole in the middle is supposed to be a 40x40x10 fan
May 20, 2015 4:57 AM - bamhm182: It's not bracket
May 20, 2015 4:58 AM - bamhm182: I just took his plate and made it so it would fit a single hex
May 20, 2015 4:59 AM - bamhm182: Shoot, now that I'm looking at this, I think you're right
May 20, 2015 4:59 AM - bamhm182: If this Hex I found is accurate, it's too short
May 20, 2015 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: looked like it in the pics. not positive though
May 20, 2015 5:01 AM - bamhm182: It is, good eye
May 20, 2015 5:01 AM - bamhm182: I think I might make a bracket for the fans that lets me mount them horizontally, then make a shroud to redirect the air flow
May 20, 2015 5:10 AM - jbigler1986: just try and not loose z height
May 20, 2015 5:10 AM - bamhm182: That's the plan
May 20, 2015 5:12 AM - bamhm182:
May 20, 2015 5:12 AM - bamhm182: I'm thinking something like that
May 20, 2015 5:15 AM - jbigler1986: how are you going to direct the airflow?
May 20, 2015 5:15 AM - bamhm182: Haven't done the shroud yet
May 20, 2015 5:15 AM - bamhm182: I'm thinking it'll be the same part as that bracket, and it'll just come down and shoot over
May 20, 2015 5:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: if you want to go that route, hunt around and try and find a blower you will be happy with
May 20, 2015 5:20 AM - bamhm182: Already bought the 40mm fans
May 20, 2015 5:20 AM - bamhm182: Might switch to blowers later
May 20, 2015 5:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: those black widows?
May 20, 2015 5:26 AM - bamhm182: Haha
May 20, 2015 5:26 AM - bamhm182: I have kind of been thinking about those
May 20, 2015 5:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: your standard fan is rated at some CFM, but that is for a free and open environment
May 20, 2015 5:29 AM - bamhm182: I've been trying to avoid making changes to Mike's carriage and just making addons instead, but there are all these M2 screw holes and I don't have any M2 screws...
May 20, 2015 5:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: as soon as you introduce restrictions to flow the cfm starts to drop off. For 3D printing it is likely that what ever loss in air flow is fine
May 20, 2015 5:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: mcmaster
May 20, 2015 5:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: they will be there tomorrow
May 20, 2015 5:30 AM - jbigler1986:
May 20, 2015 5:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: craftware?
May 20, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: yep
May 20, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: support just popped even easier than s3d
May 20, 2015 5:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: GTFO
May 20, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: i swear
May 20, 2015 5:33 AM - jbigler1986: tried slicing a vase this morning with it. it would have taken like 10 minutes to slice. didn't have the time to wait
May 20, 2015 5:33 AM - jbigler1986: there are some really nice tuning options when slicing too. will test it more tonight
May 20, 2015 5:36 AM - jbigler1986: can manually add support like s3d. you can brace support onto other support like meshmixer
May 20, 2015 5:36 AM - jbigler1986: what is a good small object that needs a bunch of support
May 20, 2015 5:39 AM - daniel871: You could take that bullet box and print it sideways where the hook is on the bottom.
May 20, 2015 5:39 AM - daniel871: Plus you'd have a big internal cavity that would need to have support material removed.
May 20, 2015 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: thinking something a little more complex for support
May 20, 2015 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: any of the dragons out there need support?
May 20, 2015 5:44 AM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:837195/#files
May 20, 2015 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:218026
May 20, 2015 5:44 AM - daniel871: Not a dragon.
May 20, 2015 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: mines a dragon
May 20, 2015 5:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: might want to scale it ±1.5 to really put the support to the test
May 20, 2015 5:50 AM - jbigler1986: let me see how it looks in craftware
May 20, 2015 6:01 AM - jbigler1986:
May 20, 2015 6:02 AM - jbigler1986: 8 hours. not bad
May 20, 2015 6:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: yikes it wants to put in a lot of support
May 20, 2015 6:12 AM - jbigler1986: that's auto support
May 20, 2015 6:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: looks like it even put alittle support in the eye
May 20, 2015 6:15 AM - jbigler1986: yep. where it put support on the little robot it came out very clean. lots of times where support is the parts doesn't look great
May 20, 2015 6:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: i suppose that robot has been optimized for the support though
May 20, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: let me show you some of the stuff you can change
May 20, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: that is probably true
May 20, 2015 6:20 AM - jbigler1986:
May 20, 2015 6:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: hints box is nice
May 20, 2015 6:25 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. there are a lot of options that can be changed
May 20, 2015 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: it will recognize the robo but won't actually communicate with it. Which is fine bc you can just save the gcode to sd card
May 20, 2015 6:29 AM - bamhm182: Trying to figure out a good height for a parts fan on both the Cyclops and the Hex, but there really isn't one... :/
May 20, 2015 6:30 AM - jbigler1986: some interesting infill options
May 20, 2015 6:45 AM - jbigler1986: ustream ads are annoying right now
May 20, 2015 7:00 AM - Shank: how do you use the image tab JB
May 20, 2015 7:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: copy the image url, click the "tree" paste
May 20, 2015 7:02 AM - Shank: so does it need to be in like dropbox or something?
May 20, 2015 7:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: imgur is probably the easiest
May 20, 2015 7:05 AM - jbigler1986: imgur is easiest
May 20, 2015 7:05 AM - bamhm182: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:838300
May 20, 2015 7:06 AM - bamhm182: I accidentally exported the stl on the wrong axis, but whatever
May 20, 2015 7:06 AM - bamhm182: What are your thoughts on the fan shroud?

 

May 20, 2015 7:06 AM - jbigler1986: can't see it
May 20, 2015 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: let me download the stl and see
May 20, 2015 7:07 AM - bamhm182: What's it saying?
May 20, 2015 7:07 AM - bamhm182: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_ZMGg7zgQtGZDNPNm9wQV80dms/view?usp=sharing
May 20, 2015 7:08 AM - bamhm182: I had to find a way to keep it high enough that it could be used with the hexagon, but also low enough that it wouldn't be blowing right on the hot end if the cyclops were installed
May 20, 2015 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: not sure how much airflow that will actually have. might be very constricting
May 20, 2015 7:13 AM - bamhm182: Yeah...
May 20, 2015 7:13 AM - jbigler1986: seems like a lot of the air will just get blown back and not actually filtered into the duct
May 20, 2015 7:13 AM - bamhm182: I don't know what else I can do though...
May 20, 2015 7:13 AM - bamhm182: I guess maybe I could try mounting it vertically
May 20, 2015 7:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: use a blower
May 20, 2015 7:14 AM - bamhm182: Haha, damn it
May 20, 2015 7:14 AM - bamhm182: Probably a good idea
May 20, 2015 7:14 AM - jbigler1986: can you angle the fan mount
May 20, 2015 7:14 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
May 20, 2015 7:14 AM - bamhm182: Morning MK, I'm breaking your stuff
May 20, 2015 7:14 AM - Mike Kelly: fun
May 20, 2015 7:15 AM - jbigler1986: so it's not flat
May 20, 2015 7:15 AM - bamhm182: Good idea
May 20, 2015 7:15 AM - jbigler1986: that way it's already pushing air that direction
May 20, 2015 7:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: bam, you using solidworks?
May 20, 2015 7:16 AM - bamhm182: No, blender
May 20, 2015 7:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: booo. I was going to say one of the coolest things you can do with SW is export 3D PDF files
May 20, 2015 7:16 AM - Mike Kelly: never knew that
May 20, 2015 7:18 AM - jbigler1986: MK did you see my craftware print
May 20, 2015 7:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: go to save as > select PDF > there will be a check box near the bottom for 3D
May 20, 2015 7:19 AM - Mike Kelly: getting to it
May 20, 2015 7:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: its funny how tool organization has become contagious
May 20, 2015 7:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: unlike you pegboard aficionados I just bolted a large scrap of oak plywood to the wall that I've had kicking around for a long time
May 20, 2015 7:21 AM - Stephen Capistron:
May 20, 2015 7:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: Today I'm thinking I "need" to draw a paper towel holder
May 20, 2015 7:24 AM - jbigler1986: damnit. now i need to design some organization pieces
May 20, 2015 7:30 AM - daniel871: What I "need" is a configurable version of that planetary bearing for Solidworks that I can take and build off of for something I'm trying to prototype.
May 20, 2015 7:31 AM - daniel871: Or even just the assembly of one of them that I can then take and modify.
May 20, 2015 7:31 AM - daniel871: Stupid STL conversion thing sucks.
May 20, 2015 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: nice print JB
May 20, 2015 7:32 AM - jbigler1986: there are some awesome setting in that software. doesn't look the greatest. but not a big deal
May 20, 2015 7:32 AM - bamhm182:
May 20, 2015 7:32 AM - bamhm182: Thoughts?
May 20, 2015 7:33 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a very severe angle
May 20, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Kelly: is that for the hexagon?
May 20, 2015 7:35 AM - bamhm182: Yeah
May 20, 2015 7:35 AM - bamhm182: Well, that would be for both
May 20, 2015 7:36 AM - bamhm182: I was going to use the fan holes you put in, but then jb pointed out that they go down past the bottom of the nozzle on the hex, so I started working on a shroud/bracket
May 20, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i didn't consider the hexagon while designing it
May 20, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd personally just add a little angle piece that kicks it up a little
May 20, 2015 7:37 AM - bamhm182: Maybe if I go at this from a different angle. There are those three holes on the front and the back, if I use those instead, I can get MUCH closer to vertical
May 20, 2015 7:38 AM - Mike Kelly: and lately i haven't been convinced that shrouds actually benefit anything for a 10mm wide fan
May 20, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: ^
May 20, 2015 7:38 AM - Mike Kelly: you'd need a blower or a really thick fan to get enough forward pressure to make it worthwhile
May 20, 2015 7:39 AM - bamhm182: Steven, where are you with your blower suggestion? You're late.
May 20, 2015 7:39 AM - bamhm182: *Stephen
May 20, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: if you don't care about losing some Z height you can totally add a 50mm blower on the front
May 20, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: and you'd lose a pretty minimal amount
May 20, 2015 7:41 AM - bamhm182: I'll look into blowers later tonight
May 20, 2015 7:42 AM - bamhm182: Might just go with those and come up with another use for these new 40mm fans I got
May 20, 2015 7:42 AM - bamhm182: Or I might try use those those 3 holes on the front and back
May 20, 2015 7:43 AM - Mike Kelly: right
May 20, 2015 7:43 AM - bamhm182: By the way, do you want this hex plate I made?
May 20, 2015 7:43 AM - bamhm182: The fan mount isn
May 20, 2015 7:43 AM - bamhm182: *isn't perfect for it, but I think it should work and it's for a 40mm fan
May 20, 2015 7:44 AM - bamhm182:
May 20, 2015 7:44 AM - bamhm182: The second heat sink fan was a joke
May 20, 2015 7:44 AM - Mike Kelly: how are you securing the hex anyways
May 20, 2015 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: why don't you just try mounting the hex a different way so you can use the same fan mounts
May 20, 2015 7:45 AM - Mike Kelly: like have it secure below the plate instead of above or on
May 20, 2015 7:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: Bam, starting on page 66 of this PDF > http://www.sunon.com/tw/products/pdf/maglev.pdf
May 20, 2015 7:46 AM - bamhm182: It's basically just a plate adaption of this guy http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:829041
May 20, 2015 7:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: try and find onereally anything after page 66 would be fine
May 20, 2015 7:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: just a matter of plugging the part numbers into the old google machine to find a seller
May 20, 2015 7:48 AM - bamhm182: That is a good idea, if I were to just lower the part that actually secures the hex by 4mm, the nozzle would be at the same level as the cyclops
May 20, 2015 7:48 AM - Mike Kelly: then you don't need to worry so much about fans
May 20, 2015 7:48 AM - Mike Kelly: because let me tell you, designing fan positions is the most annoying part
May 20, 2015 7:48 AM - bamhm182: Haha, I can see how that would be true
May 20, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: man stephen where do they sell that 45x45
May 20, 2015 7:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: which one? blower or fan?
May 20, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Kelly: blower
May 20, 2015 7:51 AM - bamhm182: Alright, I think I can modify this easily enough, but I really need to go to bed, meant to go to sleep like 3 hours ago
May 20, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: night bam
May 20, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: well
May 20, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
May 20, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Kelly: but w/e
May 20, 2015 7:52 AM - bamhm182: haha
May 20, 2015 7:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: $35 > http://www.amazon.com/SUNON-GB1245PKV1-8-11-B1451A-AR-X-GN-Projector-cooling/dp/B00JNRKALU
May 20, 2015 7:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: other options around $13 > https://www.google.com/webhp?source...3&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=GB1245PKV1&tbm=shop

May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - bamhm182: Need to hook up some of those
May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: you never said find one cheap
May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess i'll stick with what i got
May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - bamhm182: Straight blow the print off the bed
May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - bamhm182: Anyways, I'll see you guys around
May 20, 2015 7:56 AM - Mike Kelly: lol later
May 20, 2015 8:01 AM - Mike Kelly: this is clever: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:266812
May 20, 2015 8:10 AM - jbigler1986: never
May 20, 2015 8:10 AM - jbigler1986: jk
May 20, 2015 8:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:189264 < A lid!
May 20, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: isn't that what jerry berg printed
May 20, 2015 8:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: no idea

 

May 20, 2015 8:15 AM - jbigler1986: with woodfill yes
May 20, 2015 8:16 AM - Mike Kelly: til you can do headers in hockey: http://streamable.com/nara
May 20, 2015 8:23 AM - Mike Kelly: my friend has the magical ability of finding stray animal
May 20, 2015 8:23 AM - Mike Kelly: he seriously rescues like 2-3 a year
May 20, 2015 8:24 AM - jbigler1986: good ones?
May 20, 2015 8:24 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i guess
May 20, 2015 8:24 AM - Mike Kelly: he found a mom cat and 4 kittens under his car
May 20, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/LdhZez4.jpg Tired of bits everywhere
May 20, 2015 8:32 AM - daniel871: Someone just told me they're doing an "Archie vs. Predator" comic series. I'm still laughing.
May 20, 2015 8:34 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+WalterHsiao/posts/QC1zvar5Zfg?cfem=1 so clean
May 20, 2015 8:37 AM - daniel871:
May 20, 2015 8:37 AM - daniel871: The TIMG tag doesn't work. Hm...
May 20, 2015 8:38 AM - Mike Kelly: nope this isn't SA
May 20, 2015 8:38 AM - daniel871:
May 20, 2015 8:39 AM - Mike Kelly: just use the img tag, it'll autosize it
May 20, 2015 8:40 AM - daniel871: It just changed to display.
May 20, 2015 8:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i edited it
May 20, 2015 8:40 AM - daniel871: Cracking up over the "Predator kills anybody armed" gag.
May 20, 2015 8:41 AM - daniel871: Guy in that image was getting ready to cut a cake when that happened.
May 20, 2015 8:43 AM - Mike Kelly: gotcha
May 20, 2015 8:49 AM - Shank: do you think this will be enough fan for the ramp?
May 20, 2015 8:49 AM - Shank:
May 20, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Kelly: uh sure
May 20, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Kelly: ramps doesn't need a ton of cooling
May 20, 2015 8:53 AM - Shank: alright, i just wanna put it some where so i can leave the bottom off
May 20, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: i just use the MOAB bracket
May 20, 2015 8:56 AM - donhuevo: you know it's going to be Mr McNeely, the owner of the local inn, that's under the predator helmet. He's going to be very angry with those meddling kids
May 20, 2015 8:56 AM - donhuevo: oh wait...
May 20, 2015 8:56 AM - Mike Kelly: lol don
May 20, 2015 8:57 AM - donhuevo: wrong cartoon
May 20, 2015 8:57 AM - donhuevo: dangit
May 20, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: hate this getting old crap
May 20, 2015 9:01 AM - donhuevo: so printing this as fast as possible didn't work out so well... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:53451
May 20, 2015 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: i didn't know you had bad prints
May 20, 2015 9:02 AM - donhuevo: it wasn't bad just no moving parts
May 20, 2015 9:02 AM - donhuevo: gonna try it again tonight
May 20, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Glass: yo robi's
May 20, 2015 9:04 AM - donhuevo:
May 20, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Glass: lol
May 20, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Glass: fail
May 20, 2015 9:04 AM - donhuevo: totally
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - Mike Glass: hey I got one too
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - Mike Glass: let me snap a pic
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - donhuevo: I've been bouncing it off a concrete floor trying to break the parts loose
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: not only that, the picture is HUGE
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - daniel871: Think it was not enough cap between the planetary gears and the ring?
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - daniel871: gap
May 20, 2015 9:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: print at the same speed with 90% extrusion
May 20, 2015 9:06 AM - donhuevo: not a bad idea
May 20, 2015 9:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: 90% was just a WAG
May 20, 2015 9:06 AM - daniel871: 95%
May 20, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: do I hear 97%?
May 20, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Glass:
May 20, 2015 9:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: Print all 3 and tell us who was right
May 20, 2015 9:07 AM - daniel871: That pic looks like it if would just break on the points that contact the outer ring you might could get some torque on it to break the Sun gear end.
May 20, 2015 9:07 AM - daniel871: Not Mike's the other one.
May 20, 2015 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
May 20, 2015 9:08 AM - Mike Glass: mine spins a little ruff
May 20, 2015 9:08 AM - donhuevo: tried spinning it. It's solid
May 20, 2015 9:09 AM - daniel871: I want to make something that prints with features coming off the outer ring and inner gear in Solidworks, but going to have to spend some time re-creating the bits and pieces first.
May 20, 2015 9:09 AM - donhuevo: Mike, how long did yours take to print?
May 20, 2015 9:09 AM - Mike Glass: about 1:45
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - donhuevo: wow. what infill?
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - Mike Glass: 40%
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - donhuevo: wow
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - daniel871: Mike has a very fast setup though.
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - Mike Glass: I have a stock robo
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - Mike Kelly: i think i get to play with simplify 3d's dual extrusion >_<
May 20, 2015 9:10 AM - Mike Glass: Just fine tuned
May 20, 2015 9:11 AM - donhuevo: I thought mine was flying and it took 2 hrs
May 20, 2015 9:11 AM - Mike Glass: I was going way to fast, but figured it failed no biggy
May 20, 2015 9:11 AM - donhuevo: at 40%
May 20, 2015 9:12 AM - daniel871: I've had a bunch of failed prints since the power surge the other day. Things keep losing their bed adhesion on anything taller than 2.5".
May 20, 2015 9:12 AM - Mike Glass: does your spin at all don?
May 20, 2015 9:12 AM - Mike Kelly: you don't have yours on a protector?
May 20, 2015 9:12 AM - daniel871: Got a hilarious bird nest I woke up to this morning for an owl statue.
May 20, 2015 9:13 AM - daniel871: Oh yeah, it's on a 900W UPS now.
May 20, 2015 9:13 AM - daniel871: (bought with the reward points from buying the robo)
May 20, 2015 9:13 AM - donhuevo: no it doesn't spin. It's one piece
May 20, 2015 9:14 AM - Mike Glass:
May 20, 2015 9:15 AM - daniel871: Thinking about printing this, looks like it'd be fun. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26804/#files
May 20, 2015 9:15 AM - donhuevo: gonna try 95% extrusion and slow
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - daniel871: The robo is on this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBK3QK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i think mine's only on a 650W
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: it doesn't like when i heat up my bed
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Glass: do you have a vise Don?
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: 400W is kind of a lot though
May 20, 2015 9:16 AM - daniel871: So actual power supply shouldn't be an issue, I'm just trying to figure out the bed adhesion thing.
May 20, 2015 9:17 AM - donhuevo: I do.
May 20, 2015 9:17 AM - daniel871: I was about to say crack it a little from different directions in a vise, but might risk breaking it altogether.
May 20, 2015 9:17 AM - Mike Glass: put it there it should crack it loose
May 20, 2015 9:17 AM - donhuevo: bouncing it off a concrete floor didn't get it to budge
May 20, 2015 9:18 AM - jbigler1986: have you printed the negative tolerance test?
May 20, 2015 9:18 AM - Mike Glass: vise will give more pressure though
May 20, 2015 9:18 AM - daniel871: A moment of impact is a little different than gradually increased pressure.
May 20, 2015 9:18 AM - donhuevo: I tolerate negativity just fine
May 20, 2015 9:19 AM - Mike Kelly: lol you kinda have to in IT don
May 20, 2015 9:19 AM - donhuevo:
May 20, 2015 9:20 AM - Mike Kelly: slick

 

May 20, 2015 9:21 AM - daniel871: Think I'll give hairspray a try tonight.
May 20, 2015 9:21 AM - donhuevo: wishing the lip around the perimeter of the board was a little higher to fill it with that clear acrylic crap
May 20, 2015 9:22 AM - Mike Glass: lol I thought that was a rendering..awesome
May 20, 2015 9:23 AM - daniel871: Dual extrusion, or assembled from bits and pieces?
May 20, 2015 9:23 AM - daniel871: For the board itself
May 20, 2015 9:23 AM - donhuevo: this board http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:234626
May 20, 2015 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: that bright green is a cool color against black
May 20, 2015 9:26 AM - donhuevo: it burnt easily though. Pretty obvious at the top of the knights
May 20, 2015 9:27 AM - donhuevo: that's what I get for playing with ABfnS
May 20, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: burnt?
May 20, 2015 9:28 AM - donhuevo: browned
May 20, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Glass: too hot? or too slow?
May 20, 2015 9:29 AM - donhuevo: too slow
May 20, 2015 9:30 AM - donhuevo: I think I may have had a 30 second per layer thing set
May 20, 2015 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: my abs gets too soft if it's a short layer
May 20, 2015 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh god dammit i can't get this part to slice correctly
May 20, 2015 9:35 AM - donhuevo: at least my golf tee printed ok. not a totally wasted day
May 20, 2015 9:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: Should only make those out of PLA, it will probably break down the fastest
May 20, 2015 9:37 AM - donhuevo: I was hoping to work with nylon so it would flex instead of break and then I'd never need another one
May 20, 2015 9:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: i just foresee the course being littered with shards of plastic
May 20, 2015 9:40 AM - donhuevo: yep. that wouldn't do
May 20, 2015 9:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: so test em at the worst driving range around
May 20, 2015 9:42 AM - Mike Kelly: god dammit makerware
May 20, 2015 9:42 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe i should just slice this shit in cura ffs
May 20, 2015 9:43 AM - donhuevo: lately I've been noticing Cura making some questionable decisions when it comes to picking a path
May 20, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/JPDSMIR.jpg wouldn't do this though
May 20, 2015 9:43 AM - donhuevo: might be time to try slic3r again
May 20, 2015 9:44 AM - donhuevo: that's odd
May 20, 2015 9:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: or craftware
May 20, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i just don't understand what's causing it
May 20, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: it only does it on this block
May 20, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: the other 7 were fine
May 20, 2015 9:45 AM - donhuevo: double check your drawing
May 20, 2015 9:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: or redraw that one part of the block
May 20, 2015 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i mean they're all done the same way
May 20, 2015 9:50 AM - donhuevo: you'd think
May 20, 2015 9:50 AM - donhuevo: in case anyone is interested... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:838731
May 20, 2015 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: what boggles my mind is one time it did print correctly
May 20, 2015 9:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: I was just thinking you could put fins on it like a hunting arrow. better lateral stability
May 20, 2015 9:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: because that is important for a tee
May 20, 2015 9:53 AM - donhuevo: and a laser.
May 20, 2015 9:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: At that point how about bluetooth and a solenoid so that it pops the ball up ever so slightly and retracts into the ground just before impact?
May 20, 2015 9:56 AM - Mike Kelly: alright i got it to slice by switching which extruder did which part
May 20, 2015 9:56 AM - Mike Kelly: what stupid software
May 20, 2015 9:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: but those rafts it can make
May 20, 2015 9:58 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the rafts are freaking spectacular
May 20, 2015 9:58 AM - Mike Kelly: and the ooze guards are really effective
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: couldn't you just make your own easily though?
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: raft?
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: or is there something about the slicing path
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: oh ooze guard
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: the guards
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that's possible i suppose
May 20, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: annoying to do for each and every print
May 20, 2015 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: curas guard is good enough but it follows the objects shape too closely so it can do annoying things
May 20, 2015 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: like this: https://cloudup.com/ciQcxFdaUB7
May 20, 2015 10:03 AM - donhuevo: ah the old days
May 20, 2015 10:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: there is an ooze guard in there?
May 20, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that horrible looking shell is the guard
May 20, 2015 10:10 AM - Mike Kelly: https://cloudup.com/cprt4M3gOzz
May 20, 2015 10:10 AM - Mike Kelly: that's underneath
May 20, 2015 10:12 AM - donhuevo: here's this too... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:838747
May 20, 2015 10:14 AM - Mike Kelly: Now I understand why you haven't been on the shout box lately
May 20, 2015 10:15 AM - donhuevo: haha
May 20, 2015 10:15 AM - jbigler1986: back
May 20, 2015 10:15 AM - donhuevo: the putter was the only club I was allowed to use for a while
May 20, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: injury?
May 20, 2015 10:19 AM - donhuevo: back surgery
May 20, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: gotcha
May 20, 2015 10:20 AM - donhuevo: I rang in the new year with a dilaudid pain pump. best new years eve party ever
May 20, 2015 10:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: i used to work for a spine company
May 20, 2015 10:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: terrified yet?
May 20, 2015 10:26 AM - donhuevo: I could actually use a complete replacement. Something bionic preferrably
May 20, 2015 10:26 AM - donhuevo: na na na na na na na na na
May 20, 2015 10:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: go to europe
May 20, 2015 10:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: most of the good disc replacements are going through trials / not widely accepted state side
May 20, 2015 10:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: last i knew, but it has been a couple years
May 20, 2015 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: craftware. you should all try it. not sure if it has a dual extrusion option
May 20, 2015 10:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: That is partly why i'm amazed about the 3d printing with PEEK. A lot of medical hardware is made from that stuff. It's bone bonding properties kind of suck, but it is crazy strong and biocompatible
May 20, 2015 10:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: because it is plastic it minimizes a lot of the stress shielding problems that come with metals
May 20, 2015 10:29 AM - jbigler1986: you work in the medical field don't you?
May 20, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: somehow the secondary nozzle on the rep2x will take in some of the primary materia
May 20, 2015 10:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: still do, just different stuff now
May 20, 2015 10:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: less exciting stuff
May 20, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i have no idea how that would even happen
May 20, 2015 10:32 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think you are at the wrong help forum
May 20, 2015 10:32 AM - donhuevo: haha
May 20, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't even know where to get help for my replicators after they shut down the owners group
May 20, 2015 10:33 AM - jbigler1986: wtf
May 20, 2015 10:33 AM - Stephen Capistron: really?
May 20, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
May 20, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: they used to have a google community and makerbot closed it
May 20, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i think they did it to move people to the new thingiverse groups but it was long before those opened
May 20, 2015 10:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/makerbot-users
May 20, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm maybe i'm full of shit
May 20, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: that happens
May 20, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: ok no
May 20, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/makerbot
May 20, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: was the old group
May 20, 2015 10:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: i found another one that seemed defunct
