Jun 4, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Glass: for home theatre or presentations?
Jun 4, 2015 3:13 PM - Mike Kelly: i think just monitoring equipment status for work
Jun 4, 2015 3:13 PM - Mike Glass: Im printing lens caps for a DJI Phantom 3..ohhh
Jun 4, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Glass: I Like the BENQ brand, very inexspensive and great quality and features.
Jun 4, 2015 3:14 PM - Wikid: I like benq monitors....
Jun 4, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Glass: I think the last one I bought was like $400
Jun 4, 2015 3:15 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-MS504-SVGA-Projector-Lumens/dp/B00FWUQV92 damn under $300 now
Jun 4, 2015 3:15 PM - Wikid: wow
Jun 4, 2015 3:16 PM - Mike Kelly: 800x600 thou
Jun 4, 2015 3:16 PM - Wikid: eww
Jun 4, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: Gotta be at least 720
Jun 4, 2015 3:17 PM - Mike Glass: if it is for text or graphs, just depends on what your using it for. they have a higher model
Jun 4, 2015 3:17 PM - Wikid: i cant stand anyhting less that 1080 anymore
Jun 4, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's for machine status so lots of text and stuff
Jun 4, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: was supposed to have a design review with my manager at 3
Jun 4, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: at 4 i find out he's cancelled it
Jun 4, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: i could have gone golfing dammit
Jun 4, 2015 3:32 PM - Mike Glass: its not raining there?
Jun 4, 2015 3:33 PM - Mike Kelly: not yet at least
Jun 4, 2015 3:35 PM - Mike Glass: Think I might expand the multi to full length
Jun 4, 2015 3:36 PM - insomniac_lemon: Huh. Did 1st cyclops print, part fans didn't come on, print didn't start right. Just tried again, the part fans randomly turned on before the nozzle was heated ????
Jun 4, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Glass: sounds like your firmware is effed
Jun 4, 2015 3:37 PM - insomniac_lemon: Everything else seems fine
Jun 4, 2015 3:38 PM - insomniac_lemon: I just installed Mike K.'s Cyclops firmware, didn't change anything but the baudrate
Jun 4, 2015 3:39 PM - insomniac_lemon: Although dang, the nozzle got to 200 and then shut off :/
Jun 4, 2015 3:48 PM - insomniac_lemon: I think it's somewhat working now? Maybe 0.4 is too big for it, it looks like it's printing with gummy bears....
Jun 4, 2015 4:02 PM - Mike Glass: what does the F300 stand for in g-code G01 Z-1.0000 F300 S24000
Jun 4, 2015 4:28 PM - insomniac_lemon: Ok, I'm badly over-extruding.... and my other issues might just be repetier being stupid
Jun 4, 2015 4:35 PM - Bill Monroe: hello
Jun 4, 2015 4:35 PM - Mike Kelly: F is speed
Jun 4, 2015 4:36 PM - Mike Kelly: Rrd fan extender installed?
Jun 4, 2015 4:40 PM - insomniac_lemon: Do I need that, Mike? I currently just have both fans wired into the screw terminals
Jun 4, 2015 4:40 PM - Mike Kelly: If you want control over your parts fan you do
Jun 4, 2015 4:40 PM - insomniac_lemon: As I've said they actually sometimes kick on for I'm not sure why
Jun 4, 2015 4:41 PM - insomniac_lemon: Well, just on or off at a set rate, I don't care about PWM control if that's what you mean
Jun 4, 2015 4:47 PM - Mike Kelly: Nope. Just any kind of control
Jun 4, 2015 4:50 PM - insomniac_lemon: Is there any way I could get them on at all without that? I've seen them kick on (for about 10 seconds I think) twice, I'm not sure why, but I know it can workd
Jun 4, 2015 4:50 PM - insomniac_lemon: *I know they can work
Jun 4, 2015 4:53 PM - Mike Kelly: They should run all the time if you're plugging into the 12v input
Jun 4, 2015 4:54 PM - insomniac_lemon: I believe I have them plugged into the same terminals the original parts fan was hooked into
Jun 4, 2015 4:56 PM - insomniac_lemon: I seems to kick them on only when I can hear the power supply fan kick into max speed
Jun 4, 2015 4:57 PM - insomniac_lemon: Unless that is those fans causing it.... but it seemed to be ever 2nd print with repetier.... also the hotend would heat to 200 and then shut off.
Jun 4, 2015 4:57 PM - Mike Kelly: lol man
Jun 4, 2015 4:57 PM - insomniac_lemon: As soon as I closed repetier and tried again it would do none of that
Jun 4, 2015 4:58 PM - Mike Kelly: you can't use that port
Jun 4, 2015 4:58 PM - Mike Kelly: well i mean maybe you can
Jun 4, 2015 4:58 PM - Mike Kelly: but i couldn't figure out how
Jun 4, 2015 4:58 PM - Mike Kelly: so good luck!
Jun 4, 2015 4:58 PM - insomniac_lemon: Wasn't that the original one? Or you mean not for 2?
Jun 4, 2015 4:58 PM - Mike Kelly: not under motherboard 34
Jun 4, 2015 4:59 PM - insomniac_lemon: I watched the video where Robo3D was showing off those.... they said hotend heater, extruder fans, and hotbed heater, I thought
Jun 4, 2015 5:00 PM - insomniac_lemon: err, not extruder fans, parts fans
Jun 4, 2015 5:00 PM - Mike Kelly: this is why i highly discourage people from going dual extruders
Jun 4, 2015 5:02 PM - insomniac_lemon: Well, it's not like there's much out there (at least of what I've seen) on it, especially for the robo
Jun 4, 2015 5:02 PM - insomniac_lemon: for tutorials on dual extrusion, I mean
Jun 4, 2015 5:02 PM - Mike Kelly: nope that's why i don't think people who can't figure things out on their own should
Jun 4, 2015 5:06 PM - insomniac_lemon: Yeah, I think I have them plugged into D9, which the guy on the video said it was you the fan, unless he meant the heatsink fan
Jun 4, 2015 5:06 PM - Mike Kelly: that's motherboard 33
Jun 4, 2015 5:20 PM - Mike Kelly: alright setup repetier-host for the 1.6
Jun 4, 2015 5:20 PM - Mike Kelly: let's see if this works
Jun 4, 2015 5:27 PM - jbigler1986: Back
Jun 4, 2015 5:27 PM - Bill Monroe: jb
Jun 4, 2015 5:27 PM - Bill Monroe: bruises?
Jun 4, 2015 5:30 PM - Bill Monroe: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bills-lab
Jun 4, 2015 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: Nope. Sore though. I think that was the hardest the kids have played all season
Jun 4, 2015 5:31 PM - Bill Monroe: nice
Jun 4, 2015 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: What is that bill
Jun 4, 2015 5:32 PM - jbigler1986: Also how did the gear turn out
Jun 4, 2015 5:32 PM - Bill Monroe: it's a part nest for a test fixture.. situation demands support w/raft since none of the part would be touching the plate... gears were perfect
Jun 4, 2015 5:33 PM - Bill Monroe: yours?
Jun 4, 2015 5:33 PM - jbigler1986: Sweet
Jun 4, 2015 5:36 PM - Bill Monroe: Did you do the gears?
Jun 4, 2015 5:36 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
Jun 4, 2015 5:36 PM - Bill Monroe: and?
Jun 4, 2015 5:38 PM - jbigler1986: I posted a video if I could figure out how to copy the link from my phone
Jun 4, 2015 5:38 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 4, 2015 5:39 PM - jbigler1986: There
Jun 4, 2015 5:40 PM - Bill Monroe: hey! mine makes the same noise!
Jun 4, 2015 5:40 PM - jbigler1986: Works really well
Jun 4, 2015 5:43 PM - jbigler1986: I need to print some LM8UU bearings so I can use them on a blue carriage I printed
Jun 4, 2015 5:45 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:417725
Jun 4, 2015 5:45 PM - jbigler1986: That's pretty cool
Jun 4, 2015 5:47 PM - Mike Kelly: it is far too annoying to manage webcams
Jun 4, 2015 5:47 PM - Mike Kelly: why can't it be easier
Jun 4, 2015 5:48 PM - jbigler1986: I don't really have issues
Jun 4, 2015 5:48 PM - Bill Monroe: me either
Jun 4, 2015 5:48 PM - Bill Monroe: i can watch my place in JT from here
Jun 4, 2015 5:48 PM - Bill Monroe: easy peasy
Jun 4, 2015 5:50 PM - jbigler1986: What is ur issue mike
Jun 4, 2015 5:52 PM - Mike Kelly: depending on what software i'm in it has trouble connecting to one or multiple connections
Jun 4, 2015 5:52 PM - jbigler1986: What errors?
Jun 4, 2015 5:53 PM - Mike Kelly: Camera is not available
Jun 4, 2015 5:53 PM - Mike Kelly: ugh
Jun 4, 2015 5:53 PM - Mike Kelly: this is fucking annoying
Jun 4, 2015 5:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i seem to be able to do one or the other
Jun 4, 2015 5:54 PM - jbigler1986: Try using the ustream version I have posted
Jun 4, 2015 5:54 PM - Mike Kelly: na
Jun 4, 2015 5:54 PM - jbigler1986: I was having tons of issues until I used this version
Jun 4, 2015 5:54 PM - Mike Kelly: i've had enough problems with ustream producer
Jun 4, 2015 5:54 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm tired of that crap

 

Jun 4, 2015 5:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i seem to be only able to have one feed active at a time
Jun 4, 2015 5:57 PM - Mike Kelly: even though earlier i was able to have 2
Jun 4, 2015 5:57 PM - jbigler1986: Like more than 1 camera streaming?
Jun 4, 2015 5:59 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Jun 4, 2015 6:00 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ride-along-my-robo-3d
Jun 4, 2015 6:01 PM - Mike Kelly: like i can get it to show video
Jun 4, 2015 6:01 PM - Mike Kelly: but as soon as i try and add a second camera it just says it's not connected
Jun 4, 2015 6:01 PM - Mike Kelly: i wonder if it's a usb limitation with printing from 2
Jun 4, 2015 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess once these finish i'll try running off SD instead
Jun 4, 2015 6:19 PM - toy: im so tempted to get this http://www.ebay.ie/itm/THK-LM-Guide...418?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2edc19c2da
Jun 4, 2015 6:19 PM - jbigler1986: Do u have the printer working yet
Jun 4, 2015 6:20 PM - toy: yes
Jun 4, 2015 6:20 PM - toy: but i need to take the hotend apart to put the chimera on
Jun 4, 2015 6:21 PM - toy: i want to phase the belts out
Jun 4, 2015 6:33 PM - Mike Kelly: are you building a cnc mill now
Jun 4, 2015 6:42 PM - Mike Glass: whatcha building MK
Jun 4, 2015 6:42 PM - Mike Glass: looks familiar
Jun 4, 2015 6:43 PM - Mike Glass: I really need some different mill ends
Jun 4, 2015 6:53 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:65844
Jun 4, 2015 6:54 PM - jbigler1986: Would that be easy to do to the x carriage
Jun 4, 2015 6:56 PM - jbigler1986: Anyone have a link to herringbone gears for the extruder. I'm being lazy
Jun 4, 2015 6:58 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:678504 are those the best ones or did someone else make some
Jun 4, 2015 6:59 PM - Mike Glass: get gregs reloaded
Jun 4, 2015 6:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: Ben R?
Jun 4, 2015 7:03 PM - jbigler1986: Just the gears needed?
Jun 4, 2015 7:03 PM - jbigler1986: Or print it all?
Jun 4, 2015 7:07 PM - daniel871: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2028227986/bocusini-worlds-first-plug-and-play-3d-food-printi
Jun 4, 2015 7:07 PM - daniel871: 3d printing food. Hahaha.
Jun 4, 2015 7:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: Print it all. It's only filament
Jun 4, 2015 7:14 PM - jbigler1986: never
Jun 4, 2015 7:17 PM - jbigler1986: the jhead body?
Jun 4, 2015 7:18 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18379/#files
Jun 4, 2015 7:35 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jun 4, 2015 7:55 PM - jbigler1986: OMG ustream keeps losing connection
Jun 4, 2015 7:55 PM - Bill Monroe: well, that was new
Jun 4, 2015 7:55 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Jun 4, 2015 7:56 PM - Bill Monroe: thought I'd try that youtube product
Jun 4, 2015 7:56 PM - jbigler1986: did you like it
Jun 4, 2015 7:56 PM - Bill Monroe: after install, rebooting revealed my bootdrive was trashed
Jun 4, 2015 7:56 PM - jbigler1986: well that's shitty
Jun 4, 2015 7:57 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. got it going again but doing a mega backup just in case
Jun 4, 2015 7:57 PM - Bill Monroe: i have herringbone gears but they're not the ones that
Jun 4, 2015 7:58 PM - Bill Monroe: that's on thingicrap
Jun 4, 2015 8:02 PM - jbigler1986: Lol. I have gotten some good stuff from there
Jun 4, 2015 8:02 PM - jbigler1986: Getting tired of the loud clank it makes
Jun 4, 2015 8:03 PM - Bill Monroe: are you still needing them?
Jun 4, 2015 8:03 PM - jbigler1986: Printing them now
Jun 4, 2015 8:03 PM - Bill Monroe: ok
Jun 4, 2015 8:04 PM - jbigler1986: Hopefully they fit. If not it's not a big deal
Jun 4, 2015 8:04 PM - Bill Monroe: mine are the same sizes, it has curved spokes instead of that lazy set of holes
Jun 4, 2015 8:04 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Jun 4, 2015 8:04 PM - jbigler1986: Let me see this
Jun 4, 2015 8:04 PM - Bill Monroe: you might have to recal
Jun 4, 2015 8:04 PM - Bill Monroe: ok wait 1
Jun 4, 2015 8:05 PM - Bill Monroe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8m4o7fw4jjajxps/Chevron Gear - driven - Curved Spokes.STL?dl=0
Jun 4, 2015 8:05 PM - jbigler1986: Getting fancy are you
Jun 4, 2015 8:05 PM - Bill Monroe: I grew up in a foundry... curved spokes are better for cast gears, and I like the steampunk vibe
Jun 4, 2015 8:07 PM - Bill Monroe: and SW makes modeling the teeth a breeze
Jun 4, 2015 8:11 PM - Bill Monroe: Like these:

Jun 5, 2015 4:13 AM - daniel871: Hm. ustream keeps stalling and not loading the player on my end.
Jun 5, 2015 4:13 AM - daniel871: Oh, duh. Probably not an active stream.
Jun 5, 2015 4:15 AM - daniel871: T-Rex skull is printing today, started it before I left for work and made sure the first few layers stuck to the bed before I left. My cousin will be looking in on it periodically through the day but I figure if the base layers stuck everything should go fine from there.
Jun 5, 2015 4:15 AM - jbigler1986: MORNING
Jun 5, 2015 4:22 AM - daniel871: MORNING TO YOU TOO
Jun 5, 2015 4:22 AM - daniel871:
Jun 5, 2015 4:22 AM - daniel871: It's Friday!
Jun 5, 2015 4:23 AM - jbigler1986: thank god. it's been a long week
Jun 5, 2015 4:29 AM - daniel871:
Jun 5, 2015 4:30 AM - daniel871: Hang on, quality on that one sucks.
Jun 5, 2015 4:30 AM - jbigler1986: i printed greg's wade reloaded last night. need to assemble it today
Jun 5, 2015 5:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: FFF
Jun 5, 2015 5:04 AM - jbigler1986: ?
Jun 5, 2015 5:05 AM - daniel871: Finally F-ing Friday
Jun 5, 2015 5:06 AM - jbigler1986: ahhh
Jun 5, 2015 5:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: bingo
Jun 5, 2015 5:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: or fused filament fabrication
Jun 5, 2015 5:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: works both ways today
Jun 5, 2015 5:16 AM - daniel871: Already feeling like today is going to drag on forever.
Jun 5, 2015 5:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: I pretty much have one page of stuff to write and then nothing to do today
Jun 5, 2015 5:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: Though that was wednesday and thursday for me too, so ...
Jun 5, 2015 5:34 AM - Printed Solid: I thought it was Thursday all day wednesday. Up until lunch when there was no pizza...
Jun 5, 2015 5:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: well that is disappointing
Jun 5, 2015 5:35 AM - Printed Solid: ya. good news is that somehow my wife thought the same thing, so I got a night off from putting the kids to bed
Jun 5, 2015 5:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: You have an MS right?
Jun 5, 2015 5:35 AM - Printed Solid: an MS?
Jun 5, 2015 5:36 AM - Printed Solid: my degree?
Jun 5, 2015 5:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah, masters
Jun 5, 2015 5:36 AM - Printed Solid: Oh, yeah, it's actually a MEng. but yes, a masters
Jun 5, 2015 5:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: worth it?
Jun 5, 2015 5:36 AM - Printed Solid: mine was free, so, yeah
Jun 5, 2015 5:37 AM - Printed Solid: I can tell you that immediately after getting it, I got a new job with a pretty substantial raise due to the degree.
Jun 5, 2015 5:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: Ok, well how about from a non-financial perspective
Jun 5, 2015 5:37 AM - Printed Solid: In retrospect, I might have bundled with an MBA
Jun 5, 2015 5:37 AM - Printed Solid: meh. I feel like I've learned more on the job. My most important two years in college were the first two.
Jun 5, 2015 5:38 AM - Printed Solid: The 'learn how to think' years
Jun 5, 2015 5:38 AM - Stephen Capistron: My wife thinks I should consider going back to school so i can get a job I find more enjoyable, not for the money
Jun 5, 2015 5:38 AM - Printed Solid: do you have a bachelors in an engineering field now?
Jun 5, 2015 5:38 AM - Stephen Capistron: I've got the bachelors in ME
Jun 5, 2015 5:39 AM - Printed Solid: I don't recall ever seeing a job posting that required a masters.
Jun 5, 2015 5:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: If i went for the masters it would probably be Chem Eng or BioMed
Jun 5, 2015 5:39 AM - Printed Solid: Its always masters or bachelors with a few years experience.
Jun 5, 2015 5:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: I've been seeing a few here and there
Jun 5, 2015 5:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: in the Boston area
Jun 5, 2015 5:40 AM - Printed Solid: I don't feel like a masters really means that much. Early in my career, it just tacked on a few equivalent years of experience.
Jun 5, 2015 5:40 AM - Stephen Capistron: And if there is an HR person going through the resumes that doesn't know any better their first pass through them is going to be looking at the degrees. Which is unfortunate
Jun 5, 2015 5:40 AM - Printed Solid: right. if that is the requirement.
Jun 5, 2015 5:41 AM - Printed Solid: network. that's going to be better for you than a degree and also bypass the HR filter.
Jun 5, 2015 5:41 AM - Stephen Capistron: true
Jun 5, 2015 5:41 AM - Printed Solid: I know a few people working for life science companies in Boston. I can try to reach out for you. are you on linked in?
Jun 5, 2015 5:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: i am
Jun 5, 2015 5:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: Should be easy to find too
Jun 5, 2015 5:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: I know MIT has their entrepreneur event coming up that I need to sign up for.
Jun 5, 2015 5:56 AM - Printed Solid: My office mate left last week and I have a big empty office now. Seriously fighting the urge to bring a bunch of 3D printers in to fill in the space!
Jun 5, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: dont fight it... come to the dark side...
Jun 5, 2015 5:57 AM - Printed Solid: haha. you think anyone would notice?
Jun 5, 2015 5:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: haha. Sometimes i wish my printer was at work so I could tinker a bit more. But then people would expect useful things to come off it
Jun 5, 2015 5:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: If you have good quality fans and stick to neutral smelling XT you'll be fine
Jun 5, 2015 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: I brought mine in after all the mods... 3 people are hot for it now
Jun 5, 2015 5:58 AM - Printed Solid: we do have a rep2X here and occasionally I have to help people use it. it's a nice diversion from reading other people's work.
Jun 5, 2015 5:58 AM - daniel871: I'm seriously looking into the costs of printing a bunch of our hardware in Nylon vs. the SST we have it made out of now for very low pressure load tubing applications.
Jun 5, 2015 5:59 AM - daniel871: A while back the VP that originally designed them was making remarks about how he wished there was a feasible way to do exactly that.
Jun 5, 2015 5:59 AM - Printed Solid: you can always try it. I'm not sure how much I would trust an FDM part for holding pressure, but nylon is definitely the best choice to try.
Jun 5, 2015 5:59 AM - daniel871: (Not telling anyone at work about it yet until I make some test parts though).
Jun 5, 2015 6:00 AM - Printed Solid: 910.
Jun 5, 2015 6:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: I don't know what quantities of parts you guys work in, but there are some injection molders out there that are happy to only punch out a few hundred parts
Jun 5, 2015 6:00 AM - daniel871: We may go through a few hundred of each design each month, is the thing.
Jun 5, 2015 6:00 AM - daniel871: So it'd be more like "Buy several printers, have each one constantly churning out a bed of each part" thing.
Jun 5, 2015 6:01 AM - daniel871: The mills throw the stainless parts away each rebuild, which is a huge waste.
Jun 5, 2015 6:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: recycle? Start an office pig roast fund?
Jun 5, 2015 6:02 AM - Printed Solid: I'd require 100% proof testing on FDM parts.
Jun 5, 2015 6:02 AM - Printed Solid: if they were required to hold pressure
Jun 5, 2015 6:02 AM - daniel871: That's what I'm going to do, print the parts for an assembly, put it together and pressure test it.

Jun 5, 2015 6:02 AM - Printed Solid: hundreds of them?
Jun 5, 2015 6:02 AM - Stephen Capistron: i see i have converted someone to the CSMonitor
Jun 5, 2015 6:03 AM - daniel871: I've been reading them for some time, just not sharing articles too often.
Jun 5, 2015 6:03 AM - Printed Solid: haha. that's why there was a huge traffic backup in front of DD today?
Jun 5, 2015 6:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: I prefer my doughnuts made of barley. And slightly malted, and fermented ...
Jun 5, 2015 6:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: I think it is one of the best news sites. Very little crap
Jun 5, 2015 6:04 AM - daniel871: Let me just get a screencap of an example part.
Jun 5, 2015 6:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: Talking 5psi, or 50psi?
Jun 5, 2015 6:05 AM - daniel871: 3-5.
Jun 5, 2015 6:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: corrosive (wet) environment?
Jun 5, 2015 6:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: Nylon will swell when exposed to moisture
Jun 5, 2015 6:06 AM - daniel871: Just a lot of water, if corrosion beyond what water would cause is occurring something is wrong anyway.
Jun 5, 2015 6:06 AM - daniel871: (They use nylon for other parts in the roll that we don't supply)
Jun 5, 2015 6:07 AM - daniel871: You might get six months to a year of operation between rebuilds.
Jun 5, 2015 6:07 AM - Stephen Capistron: the swelling is fine. You just need to plan on it. Like thermal expansion
Jun 5, 2015 6:08 AM - daniel871: Here's one of the simple assemblies.
Jun 5, 2015 6:09 AM - daniel871: The parts in question would just be the fitting and plug on each end. The ferrules and vincon tubing/shrink tubes would stay the same materials.
Jun 5, 2015 6:10 AM - daniel871: Figure swelling should be negligible at assembly since they assemble the 1/8npt part with "plumber's paste" or what is essentially loc-tite, and the other end is basically encapsulated in the tubing except for the one end.
Jun 5, 2015 6:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: I assume the tubing is just trashed during a rebuild and replaced?
Jun 5, 2015 6:11 AM - daniel871: Yep.
Jun 5, 2015 6:11 AM - daniel871: Hence looking at a Nylon vs. SST material right now. We used to make them out of brass when that was cheaper than SST, but they would rust like crazy.
Jun 5, 2015 6:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: Glue (or weld) a cap on it and be done. Even if it is made from milled plastic, no?
Jun 5, 2015 6:14 AM - daniel871: Would work for that style of assembly, but then there are these:
Jun 5, 2015 6:14 AM - daniel871: Different OEMs have different inlet configurations.
Jun 5, 2015 6:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: ah
Jun 5, 2015 6:15 AM - daniel871: Those open ends fit into a built-in clamping system, then the actual air pressure comes in from that center inlet.

 

Jun 5, 2015 6:16 AM - daniel871: Still low pressure, but that particular inlet would be protected from the water elements by how it screws into the holder (kind of tricky to assemble, hence the trim material)
Jun 5, 2015 6:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: Where is JB? I want to know if he is bloodied and bruised from the knee down. And also did he make anyone cry last night?
Jun 5, 2015 6:23 AM - daniel871: He said nothing about it when he came in this morning, so I assume he lost badly.
Jun 5, 2015 6:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: Probably
Jun 5, 2015 6:25 AM - Printed Solid: Hey Daniel, just heads up that this forum is archived and publicly accessible. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess your employer probably doesn't want drawings with parts numbers, dimensions, etc publicly posted.
Jun 5, 2015 6:25 AM - Printed Solid: Want me to delete?
Jun 5, 2015 6:26 AM - Printed Solid: Also, heads up, I just signed up as a reseller for simplify3D. Probably going to schedule some google hangouts to do demos, discount bundle packs, etc. anyone interested, let me know
Jun 5, 2015 6:26 AM - Printed Solid: https://www.printedsolid.com/shop/3dprinters/simplify3d/
Jun 5, 2015 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: <-- already an S3D convert
Jun 5, 2015 6:27 AM - Printed Solid: yup. I know a lot of us are.
Jun 5, 2015 6:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: It has been on my to do list
Jun 5, 2015 6:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: along with e3D
Jun 5, 2015 6:27 AM - Bill Monroe: jb made it without only some soreness
Jun 5, 2015 6:28 AM - Bill Monroe: at least, that's what he wants us to believe...
Jun 5, 2015 6:28 AM - Printed Solid: Pretty sure I would be laid up for a week if I played a soccer game against 5 year olds
Jun 5, 2015 6:28 AM - Printed Solid: maybe shriveled up in a corner crying
Jun 5, 2015 6:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: He is probably in an ice bath trying to make the soreness go away
Jun 5, 2015 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: naw.. you'd be fine... I do it with my Golden and she's impossible to wear out
Jun 5, 2015 6:32 AM - daniel871: We're not the only company that makes and sells those parts, so it should be fine.
Jun 5, 2015 6:33 AM - daniel871: Our competitors have copied them thoroughly already, so it mainly comes down to workmanship and our designs for the parts that ride on top of those tubes.
Jun 5, 2015 6:34 AM - daniel871: (they're the simplest and least expensive parts in the kit, so nobody has bothered to really patent anything or even sue when someone copies someone else when it's happened before)
Jun 5, 2015 6:40 AM - daniel871: Also on S3D I've already bought it.

Jun 5, 2015 6:55 AM - daniel871: What's the deal with the airplane window?
Jun 5, 2015 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: dont like it?
Jun 5, 2015 6:56 AM - daniel871: Just curious.
Jun 5, 2015 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: just learning what this software can do
Jun 5, 2015 6:56 AM - daniel871: Neat.
Jun 5, 2015 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: and reliving a fantastic cross country trip in a vintage hot rod
Jun 5, 2015 6:57 AM - daniel871: Would be cooler if you were actually live streaming from the cockpit while the other stuff was happening.
Jun 5, 2015 6:57 AM - daniel871: (Probably an issue with streaming over cell phone networks though).
Jun 5, 2015 6:57 AM - Bill Monroe: ya well, right now that video is over the middle ot Texas.. good luck getting a signal
Jun 5, 2015 6:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: the audio is super loud
Jun 5, 2015 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: what are you hearing?
Jun 5, 2015 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: the plane video?
Jun 5, 2015 6:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: yup
Jun 5, 2015 6:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: maybe all of them, I have no idea
Jun 5, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: ok let me see if I can tone it down
Jun 5, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: although, it IS loud in the plane
Jun 5, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: should be better in about 20 secsw
Jun 5, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: -w
Jun 5, 2015 7:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: now there is nothing
Jun 5, 2015 7:06 AM - Sims Reaper: For a free peice of software it is pretty decent
Jun 5, 2015 7:08 AM - Bill Monroe: seems OK.. i hear you can also get add-free broadcast on youtube... gotta look into that
Jun 5, 2015 7:09 AM - Sims Reaper: So my T-rex came out pretty good last night. Had some very minor layer splitting but I was able to just fill those with thick ABS juice brushed on
Jun 5, 2015 7:10 AM - Sims Reaper: But I am having some issues still I have to look into. There seem to be burnt spots of filament the odd time
Jun 5, 2015 7:11 AM - Sims Reaper: I have a suspicion that it's the quality of the filament though. I've run into some very "chalky" spots in my ABS roll.
Jun 5, 2015 7:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: just only print in black
Jun 5, 2015 7:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: that is how Johnny Cash would roll
Jun 5, 2015 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: that was my thinking too
Jun 5, 2015 7:16 AM - Sims Reaper: I have also been using my oiler with the ABS, and I'm concerned that it may be degrading the filament so km gonna try something small without it tonight
Jun 5, 2015 7:20 AM - daniel871: I'm printing the T-rex skull right now myself, but don't have streaming setup to share.
Jun 5, 2015 7:22 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm goig to remain a t rex virgin
Jun 5, 2015 7:28 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 5, 2015 7:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: You know who else is likely a T-Rex virgin?
Jun 5, 2015 7:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: Carl Everett
Jun 5, 2015 7:32 AM - jbigler1986: Bill what software are you using for that
Jun 5, 2015 7:32 AM - Bill Monroe: Xsplit
Jun 5, 2015 7:40 AM - daniel871: Broadcaster or Gamecaster?
Jun 5, 2015 7:40 AM - daniel871: https://www.xsplit.com/download
Jun 5, 2015 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: seriously??
Jun 5, 2015 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: broadcaster
Jun 5, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: gamecaster. lol
Jun 5, 2015 7:42 AM - jbigler1986: i tried it with youtube and i didn't like it
Jun 5, 2015 7:42 AM - jbigler1986: oh and thanks for the pic of the part bill. patenting it now
Jun 5, 2015 7:42 AM - Bill Monroe: good luck!
Jun 5, 2015 7:43 AM - jbigler1986: 30k later
Jun 5, 2015 7:46 AM - daniel871: I'm thinking about just buying one of these to turn my old out of service iphone into a webcam for the streaming. http://www.amazon.com/iStabilizer-F...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1338580007&sr=1-2
Jun 5, 2015 7:47 AM - jbigler1986: why? you have a 3d printer
Jun 5, 2015 7:47 AM - daniel871: Is there a good model to use? All of the ones I found seem to have specifically been for much newer iphones with no holder adjustment.
Jun 5, 2015 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: find a case for it then modify it. then make your own mount. uber easy
Jun 5, 2015 7:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: try grabcad?
Jun 5, 2015 7:50 AM - Bill Monroe: sell the phone, then get a cam made for webcasting
Jun 5, 2015 7:50 AM - daniel871: Might as well toss the iphone 3 in the trash for the money I'd get for it.
Jun 5, 2015 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: great, we'll wait
Jun 5, 2015 7:51 AM - daniel871: Haven't checked Grabcad, looking there now.
Jun 5, 2015 7:51 AM - daniel871: Been using it as my alarm clock since I got my Galaxy.
Jun 5, 2015 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: they have lots of good things. also most stuff is in cad format which helps with editing
Jun 5, 2015 7:53 AM - Bill Monroe: use it for skeet practice
Jun 5, 2015 7:53 AM - jbigler1986: but honestly i would just get a good webcam
Jun 5, 2015 7:54 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Jun 5, 2015 7:54 AM - jbigler1986: it will save you a lot of hasle
Jun 5, 2015 7:54 AM - jbigler1986: i made my mount for mine in about 2 hours and I SUCK at designing

Jun 5, 2015 8:07 AM - daniel871: Thinking about getting this one and just setting it on the enclosure and pointing it down at the bed, or somewhere directly in front of the enclosure since it seems like having the enclosure blocks directly attaching to the bed or whatever. http://www.amazon.com/HV-N5080-Micr...&qid=1433516651&sr=1-51-spons&keywords=webcam

Jun 5, 2015 8:08 AM - jbigler1986: you are need going to be happy with the quality with those cheap ones

Jun 5, 2015 8:10 AM - donhuevo: morning. happy friday
Jun 5, 2015 8:10 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VOEENG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 this camera has a very comparable quality to the lifecam, and it has higher framerate at high def
Jun 5, 2015 8:10 AM - Mike Kelly: only downside is it's manual focus
Jun 5, 2015 8:10 AM - Mike Glass: I didnt even realize it was Friday. too many days off. Morning Don
Jun 5, 2015 8:11 AM - Mike Glass: I had to take mine apart to refocus it.
Jun 5, 2015 8:14 AM - jbigler1986: the autofocus sometimes is annoying
Jun 5, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Glass: I rather have manual
Jun 5, 2015 8:14 AM - donhuevo: you do get a manual override on the lifecam
Jun 5, 2015 8:14 AM - jbigler1986: really?
Jun 5, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Glass: its fixed position so why not
Jun 5, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: i think he means the override
Jun 5, 2015 8:16 AM - jbigler1986: ^
Jun 5, 2015 8:16 AM - Mike Glass: (Ͼ˳Ͽ)..!!!
Jun 5, 2015 8:18 AM - donhuevo: I can't tell if there's facetiousness going on or not
Jun 5, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: Oh, I also have an old PS3 Eye camera for back when they tried to get PS Move going as their version of a Wii interface.
Jun 5, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: for/from
Jun 5, 2015 8:20 AM - Mike Glass: I used my ps3 eye, it worked ok if you had good lighting
Jun 5, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Glass: but I had to tape the lense in an awkward position to get it to focus

Jun 5, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a pretty nice camera
Jun 5, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: 1080p at 30fps is hard to come by for some reason
Jun 5, 2015 8:28 AM - daniel871: Assuming it actually does it.

Jun 5, 2015 8:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: Free your computers up
Jun 5, 2015 8:32 AM - jbigler1986: haven't completley torn down gregs wade before though

Jun 5, 2015 8:34 AM - jbigler1986: what is the ring for?
Jun 5, 2015 8:36 AM - jbigler1986: is it just a washer basically
Jun 5, 2015 8:36 AM - Mike Kelly: spacer for the bearing
Jun 5, 2015 8:36 AM - Mike Kelly: on the gear side
Jun 5, 2015 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: ok. makes sense. also reason for the little block on the bottom where the idler attaches?
Jun 5, 2015 8:37 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like a way to hold the bolts together during loading when you slide them off

Jun 5, 2015 8:50 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah they actually did some pretty clever tricks on that design to make it print without support
Jun 5, 2015 8:51 AM - jbigler1986: yeah had to remove a little material. wasn't a big deal though
Jun 5, 2015 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: like for the holes, yeah
Jun 5, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Kelly: they do like a bridging layer to print the holes on

Jun 5, 2015 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: do we have anyone here that is good at designing non mechanical stuff?
Jun 5, 2015 9:05 AM - Sims Reaper: I really need to get better at simplify. My supports on complicated prints always seem to have issues
Jun 5, 2015 9:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: such as?
Jun 5, 2015 9:05 AM - donhuevo: scanner, yes.
Jun 5, 2015 9:05 AM - daniel871: Look into Sculptris and do your own non-mechanical stuff, JB. It exports as OBJ and is geared toward being entirely artistic.
Jun 5, 2015 9:06 AM - daniel871: Haven't done much with it myself because I suck at artistic stuff.

 

Jun 5, 2015 9:06 AM - jbigler1986: i just don't remember seeing anyone here that is good at/likes to design artistic stuff
Jun 5, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: I like zbrush, very easy.
Jun 5, 2015 9:07 AM - daniel871: Zbrush might be a little pricey though.
Jun 5, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: not the russian edition
Jun 5, 2015 9:07 AM - daniel871: Haha.
Jun 5, 2015 9:07 AM - daniel871: Sculptris may end up being expensive later, too. It's basically in Beta/Alpha right now.
Jun 5, 2015 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: most of my software is the russian edition
Jun 5, 2015 9:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: I was going for more the meta "flipping the bird"
Jun 5, 2015 9:10 AM - daniel871: Hahaha. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:318384
Jun 5, 2015 9:11 AM - daniel871: Could always do this as an alternative. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9541
Jun 5, 2015 9:13 AM - donhuevo: paperweight...
Jun 5, 2015 9:13 AM - daniel871: That middle finger is way out of proportion to the rest of the hand. :colbert:
Jun 5, 2015 9:13 AM - Mike Kelly: are you ever gonna make that delta
Jun 5, 2015 9:14 AM - jbigler1986: searched middle finger on yeggi and got this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:343995 lol
Jun 5, 2015 9:14 AM - donhuevo: that's funny
Jun 5, 2015 9:15 AM - jbigler1986: haha http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:668875
Jun 5, 2015 9:15 AM - daniel871: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/death-metal-rocktopus/
Jun 5, 2015 9:16 AM - donhuevo: that guy could have been Mike's cube mate. he works at aleph
Jun 5, 2015 9:16 AM - daniel871: Someone on another forum posted this image with a four letter word caption:
Jun 5, 2015 9:16 AM - donhuevo: is that an extruder or are you just happy to see me
Jun 5, 2015 9:16 AM - jbigler1986: hahaha
Jun 5, 2015 9:17 AM - daniel871: How would that happen?
Jun 5, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: have not had one even close to that bad. holy hell
Jun 5, 2015 9:17 AM - daniel871: Crack in the hot end?
Jun 5, 2015 9:17 AM - donhuevo: leak at the heat break
Jun 5, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: ^
Jun 5, 2015 9:18 AM - daniel871: Looks like that "Great Stuff" you can get in a can at home depot, except blue.
Jun 5, 2015 9:18 AM - donhuevo: the original robo's had an extruder like that
Jun 5, 2015 9:18 AM - Mike Glass: print this (ಠ_ಠ)┌∩┐
Jun 5, 2015 9:21 AM - daniel871:
Jun 5, 2015 9:21 AM - Mike Glass: haha
Jun 5, 2015 9:22 AM - jbigler1986: ahhhhh. so pixelated
Jun 5, 2015 9:22 AM - Mike Glass: need business cards like that
Jun 5, 2015 9:25 AM - daniel871: 3D Print them.
Jun 5, 2015 9:26 AM - donhuevo: yes... make big thick flinstones business cards
Jun 5, 2015 9:27 AM - daniel871: http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/
Jun 5, 2015 9:27 AM - daniel871: Draw it up, run it through that, then print.
Jun 5, 2015 9:27 AM - donhuevo: is anyone using subtractive (cnc-ish) machines for rubber stamps?
Jun 5, 2015 9:28 AM - daniel871: I know I saw where someone 3d printed a dickbutt stamp on SA.
Jun 5, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: what bit would I need for rubber?
Jun 5, 2015 9:28 AM - donhuevo: maybe that new ninja semi-flex...
Jun 5, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Glass: you said subtractive
Jun 5, 2015 9:29 AM - donhuevo: as an alternative
Jun 5, 2015 9:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://3dprint.com/70149/cobblebot-delays-defamation
Jun 5, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Glass: im buying bits now so just wondering
Jun 5, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: make a positive, then use that with oogoo to make a negative, thus stamp
Jun 5, 2015 9:32 AM - donhuevo: just wondering if silicone would be phillic or phobic with the ink
Jun 5, 2015 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: probably phobic
Jun 5, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i don't think silicone is very absorbant at all
Jun 5, 2015 9:36 AM - daniel871: Huh. I always called these blankets.
Jun 5, 2015 9:41 AM - donhuevo: I'm determined to use parts of a ball-point pen for my z probe
Jun 5, 2015 9:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: these guys are insane > http://www.autoblog.com/2015/06/05/harley-davidson-brings-old-school-cool-with-flat-track-racing-at/
Jun 5, 2015 9:43 AM - daniel871: Love that first comment about how bummed Harley must be that the racer on one of their bikes lost due to a mechanical issue.
Jun 5, 2015 9:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: the old joke during the AMF days was that you needed to buy two, one for spare parts.
Jun 5, 2015 9:52 AM - daniel871: Hm.
Jun 5, 2015 9:54 AM - daniel871: Asked my cousin to see how the printer was doing and got this image.
Jun 5, 2015 9:54 AM - daniel871: Thought it would be further along than that.
Jun 5, 2015 9:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: 100% infill?
Jun 5, 2015 9:55 AM - daniel871: Supposed to be 30%.
Jun 5, 2015 9:55 AM - daniel871: His camera sucks.
Jun 5, 2015 9:57 AM - daniel871: Must be super bright white on that PLA.
Jun 5, 2015 9:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: white is not kind to various print artifacts / defects
Jun 5, 2015 9:59 AM - daniel871: Okay, just got another text saying it had stopped when he checked on it so he shut it off.
Jun 5, 2015 9:59 AM - daniel871: Damn.
Jun 5, 2015 9:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: just another reason to leave work early today
Jun 5, 2015 10:00 AM - daniel871: Don't joke, I'm already looking for excuses.
Jun 5, 2015 10:00 AM - daniel871: "My 3d printer fucked up, I gotta go!"
Jun 5, 2015 10:00 AM - daniel871:
Jun 5, 2015 10:03 AM - daniel871: Got the "Temp Fall Error", he said. Hm...
Jun 5, 2015 10:05 AM - Stephen Capistron: I hate it when i eat too much at lunch
Jun 5, 2015 10:05 AM - daniel871: Last time that happened best I could figure was the A/C came on when it really wasn't needed and chilled the room too fast.
Jun 5, 2015 10:05 AM - donhuevo: nap time
Jun 5, 2015 10:06 AM - daniel871: Coffee time.
Jun 5, 2015 10:06 AM - daniel871: Can't nap at work.
Jun 5, 2015 10:08 AM - Mike Kelly: says you!
Jun 5, 2015 10:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah and i have nothing to do
Jun 5, 2015 10:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm only sitting here so I don't have to use vacation
Jun 5, 2015 10:09 AM - donhuevo: yep, I told everyone here my office needed to be in the basement where it's cooler for all the computers. I'm the only one down here
Jun 5, 2015 10:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: Printed Solid is getting an order coming his way from me. What else should I toss in the cart?
Jun 5, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: safety enclosure
Jun 5, 2015 10:13 AM - daniel871: What are you already ordering?
Jun 5, 2015 10:15 AM - Mike Kelly: order some spare nozzles
Jun 5, 2015 10:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: finally going to get an e3d
Jun 5, 2015 10:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: I like my safety enclosure
Jun 5, 2015 10:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: Its soft so when i bump into it it doesn't hurt
Jun 5, 2015 10:17 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'd have to put those little kid coffee table bumpers on yours
Jun 5, 2015 10:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: volcano too because i'm impatient
Jun 5, 2015 10:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: And some 910 because it is all the rage right now
Jun 5, 2015 10:21 AM - daniel871: Taulman 910, eh?
Jun 5, 2015 10:21 AM - jbigler1986: here is don
Jun 5, 2015 10:22 AM - jbigler1986: i have a sample of that SC. Can't think of what to use it on though
Jun 5, 2015 10:23 AM - Mike Kelly: i should have him ship me a 910
Jun 5, 2015 10:23 AM - daniel871: How does 910 handle moisture, or is it still basically Nylon?
Jun 5, 2015 10:23 AM - Mike Kelly: and yeah i've definitely bonked my head more than once on the enclosure corners
Jun 5, 2015 10:23 AM - Mike Kelly: they hurt
Jun 5, 2015 10:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: still nylon. I have no idea if it is any different.
Jun 5, 2015 10:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: I suppose you could print bumpers from flex
Jun 5, 2015 10:24 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Jun 5, 2015 10:24 AM - donhuevo: I do have a red stapler
Jun 5, 2015 10:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: or print some springy shape from regular plastic and stick them on there

 

Jun 5, 2015 10:25 AM - Mike Kelly: confirmed: Don is Milton
Jun 5, 2015 10:25 AM - donhuevo: working on a TP report as we speak
Jun 5, 2015 10:25 AM - Mike Kelly: btw the offer still stands if anyone can design a cheap mount for my enclosure that doesn't use tape or drill into the case, i'll send them one for free
Jun 5, 2015 10:27 AM - daniel871: Aw, was all excited until I saw no tape.
Jun 5, 2015 10:27 AM - donhuevo: hang both sides from the filament slit
Jun 5, 2015 10:27 AM - daniel871: I'm mounting the hinges with permanent outdoor double-sided tape.
Jun 5, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: must be completely removable
Jun 5, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: and easy to install while printing
Jun 5, 2015 10:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: with no evidence that it was even there
Jun 5, 2015 10:28 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Jun 5, 2015 10:28 AM - daniel871: donhuevo's idea for hanger that depends on the filament slit is probably the best ides.
Jun 5, 2015 10:28 AM - daniel871: idea
Jun 5, 2015 10:28 AM - donhuevo: give me the drawing you have of it and I'll hook you up
Jun 5, 2015 10:28 AM - daniel871: Install *while* printing? What?
Jun 5, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681843
Jun 5, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: right now with my french cleat design you can hook it on during a print
Jun 5, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: filament slit is a cool idea
Jun 5, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: seems like it would be hard to print though
Jun 5, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: don what file format would you like
Jun 5, 2015 10:30 AM - Sims Reaper: I think that's the only way it would work tbh.
Jun 5, 2015 10:30 AM - donhuevo: I saw some dwg's in there, that should be fine
Jun 5, 2015 10:31 AM - daniel871: Nah, just a hook that you slip into the outer edge of the slit on either side that catches a loop on the side panel at the other end should do it.
Jun 5, 2015 10:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: Could use the four screws that hold the top on too
Jun 5, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: they're 1/8" acrylic or .118
Jun 5, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm that's a cool idea too stephen
Jun 5, 2015 10:31 AM - daniel871: (the loop on the side panel would be additional material, not a hole in the area that would allow a draft to pass thru)
Jun 5, 2015 10:32 AM - Sims Reaper: Why are you trying to leave zero evidence of the enclosure Mike? Is it a licensing/ warranty issue or just for ease of install?
Jun 5, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: ease of install/not all users want to put tape/holes on their printer
Jun 5, 2015 10:33 AM - daniel871: I'd think an enclosure that just drops onto the printer and essentially uses gravity to stay on would be pretty cool.
Jun 5, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: i also want to keep my R1.6 looking stock
Jun 5, 2015 10:33 AM - Sims Reaper: Gotcha.
Jun 5, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: so yeah if you want to help me with this send me an STL and drawings/renders of your idea
Jun 5, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:729956
Jun 5, 2015 10:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Co...ulation-Sheathing-52DD/202085962?N=5yc1vZbaxx
Jun 5, 2015 10:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: That would just drop right over the top
Jun 5, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 5, 2015 10:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: I need to get the electronics out from underneath. What would be the best "extension" cord for the steppers and such? Cat5?
Jun 5, 2015 10:36 AM - donhuevo: redraw the female so that it's long enough to sit down on the bend of the lid
Jun 5, 2015 10:39 AM - daniel871: What's in the ZIP file, a massive Step file or individual parts?
Jun 5, 2015 10:40 AM - Mike Kelly: individual solidworks parts
Jun 5, 2015 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: the step includes everything
Jun 5, 2015 10:41 AM - daniel871: Hm. What version of Solidworks, we're on 2013 here.
Jun 5, 2015 10:42 AM - daniel871: Nevermind, it opened without freaking out.
Jun 5, 2015 10:47 AM - Mike Kelly: 2013
Jun 5, 2015 10:47 AM - Mike Kelly:
Jun 5, 2015 10:47 AM - jbigler1986: so behind
Jun 5, 2015 10:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: i really want to send you a nice shiny new 2015 model
Jun 5, 2015 10:48 AM - jbigler1986: how much longer before you decide to bootleg 2015?
Jun 5, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: i have 1 seat of 2015
Jun 5, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: up to sp 2.1
Jun 5, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: but i can't upgrade yet because then my drafter wouldn't be able to open it
Jun 5, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: and i have no idea when i'll be able to get that, supposed to be in the budget this month but shit's hitting the fan
Jun 5, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i just made the assembly in 2013 to maximize compatibility
Jun 5, 2015 10:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: wait you have a drafter?
Jun 5, 2015 10:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: you don't have to do your own 2D?
Jun 5, 2015 10:57 AM - Mike Glass: engineers dont do 2d
Jun 5, 2015 10:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: I want to live in this fantasy world you two are in
Jun 5, 2015 11:00 AM - Mike Glass: just come back to reality
Jun 5, 2015 11:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: I've always had to do my own 2D
Jun 5, 2015 11:01 AM - Stephen Capistron: it sucks
Jun 5, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: nope i used to have to do my own 2D
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: i hated it
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Stephen Capistron: And it is pretty useless
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Glass: im just givin ya crap
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: took up so much time
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: i've had someone to do it for like a year now
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: i just get to focus on design
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: which is great
Jun 5, 2015 11:02 AM - daniel871: Extremely rough draft, but something like this (don't have the enclosure to model for reference).
Jun 5, 2015 11:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: So I've been at my current job for about a year and only recently actually designed anything. I do up the 2D with"proper" tolerancing and everything. Guy throws out all my tolerances and is like they are just going to build off the solid model. So why am I doing 2D?
Jun 5, 2015 11:03 AM - daniel871: Have a hole on the side panel of the enclosure that will hook onto that exaggerated rod.
Jun 5, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: will that fit on the build platform?
Jun 5, 2015 11:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: yes
Jun 5, 2015 11:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: you'll need to notch out the panel though right?
Jun 5, 2015 11:04 AM - daniel871: He'll need new side panels with an additional loop of material on top to catch that rod.
Jun 5, 2015 11:05 AM - daniel871: Or get fancy and make a hook on the top panel and make the thing on top two support pieces with a rod in the middle that the hook pivots around.
Jun 5, 2015 11:05 AM - daniel871: Basically a big ghetto hinge.
Jun 5, 2015 11:05 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 5, 2015 11:05 AM - daniel871: That might interfere with the LCD mounts.
Jun 5, 2015 11:06 AM - daniel871: Might clear the swivel base, though.
Jun 5, 2015 11:06 AM - Mike Glass: your gonna need a 3inch screw if you add another one on top..lol
Jun 5, 2015 11:09 AM - daniel871: Do you have solidworks files for the enclosure?
Jun 5, 2015 11:09 AM - daniel871: Wait, I can just take the DWGs and import onto sketches.
Jun 5, 2015 11:09 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah
Jun 5, 2015 11:10 AM - donhuevo: I actually need the female latches in dwg
Jun 5, 2015 11:12 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 5, 2015 11:12 AM - daniel871: Is there a deadline? I may work on it over the weekend while waiting on the T-rex head to print.
Jun 5, 2015 11:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: even something like that fits on the build plate
Jun 5, 2015 11:12 AM - daniel871: Ooh.
Jun 5, 2015 11:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: 200mm from side to side
Jun 5, 2015 11:13 AM - Mike Kelly: nope no deadline
Jun 5, 2015 11:13 AM - daniel871: Wait, can you make the hook into short rod with a rounded flange?
Jun 5, 2015 11:13 AM - Mike Kelly: just looking for alternatives
Jun 5, 2015 11:13 AM - daniel871: On the outside bit that the enclosure hooks into.
Jun 5, 2015 11:14 AM - daniel871: That way you just put a loop on the side panels of the enclosure that will hang from what Stephen has there and pivot up and down.
Jun 5, 2015 11:16 AM - donhuevo: lengthen the enclosure bottoms so they rest on top of the printer base then have brackets on the enclosure tops that grab the inside of the top of the lid
Jun 5, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: not gonna change the design
Jun 5, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: we can get it to fit on a single 4x8 but just barely
Jun 5, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: then a printed piece that screws into the enclosure bottom that will rest on the base of the case
Jun 5, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: and maybe locate it between the two sides of the lid

 

Jun 5, 2015 11:18 AM - donhuevo: then the acrylic wouldn't have to change
Jun 5, 2015 11:18 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 5, 2015 11:19 AM - donhuevo: that would do it
Jun 5, 2015 11:19 AM - donhuevo: then something to grab the inside of the top of the lid
Jun 5, 2015 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: how much actual work is getting done right now? lol
Jun 5, 2015 11:22 AM - Mike Kelly: i've distracted them thoroughly
Jun 5, 2015 11:22 AM - donhuevo: but, if you've already got the male angle pieces screwed onto your acrylic, then I have an idea for a new screwless female.
Jun 5, 2015 11:23 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 5, 2015 11:23 AM - Mike Kelly: don:

Jun 5, 2015 11:23 AM - donhuevo: gracias
Jun 5, 2015 11:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: cat5 suitable wiring for the steppers?
Jun 5, 2015 11:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: What gauge goes to the extruder heater core?
Jun 5, 2015 11:26 AM - Sims Reaper: I don't know if I would trust cat5 to carry any sort of voltage or amperage. It's meant for simple signal transmission.
Jun 5, 2015 11:26 AM - donhuevo: the beefiest NEMA17's (48mm motor length) pull about .4 amps
Jun 5, 2015 11:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: So I'll be fine using it as chasis wiring
Jun 5, 2015 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: the heater core is 25W or ~2A
Jun 5, 2015 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: cat 5 is solid core though so it's not great for movement
Jun 5, 2015 11:29 AM - daniel871: Would that used FlashForge Creator PrintedSolid has be worth buying to play around with dual extruding?
Jun 5, 2015 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: here's the enclosure files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxrz9587rm9gndt/Enclosure Rear.zip?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zdjxw3zh4twj2kv/Enclosure Front.zip?dl=0
Jun 5, 2015 11:29 AM - Mike Kelly: lemme know if you want a different format
Jun 5, 2015 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: it's basically a replicator dual
Jun 5, 2015 11:30 AM - daniel871: I don't really have a point of reference other than the Robo I currently have.
Jun 5, 2015 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: it's fine but runs a makerbot/sailfish firmware
Jun 5, 2015 11:34 AM - daniel871: Does that mean anything from a practical standpoint in terms of generating gcode out of Simplify3D?
Jun 5, 2015 11:35 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Jun 5, 2015 11:35 AM - Mike Kelly: simplify3d exports to x3g natively
Jun 5, 2015 11:35 AM - daniel871: Just looked and there's a profile there already for that printer.
Jun 5, 2015 11:35 AM - daniel871: For material processes.
Jun 5, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Kelly: the FF creator pro seems like a good dual printer IMO
Jun 5, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Kelly: probably would have bought that instead of the rep2x if it existed
Jun 5, 2015 11:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: If anyone wants to mess around with what I have in OnShape The file is now public for viewing and copying
Jun 5, 2015 11:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: "Top.x_t"
Jun 5, 2015 11:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm off to enjoy the weekend. My wife scored sox tickets and I'm super excited because the A's called up this guy.
Jun 5, 2015 11:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Venditte
Jun 5, 2015 11:43 AM - Mike Kelly: no way
Jun 5, 2015 11:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: A switch pitcher. His glove has two thumbs on it so he can easily switch hands
Jun 5, 2015 11:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm giddy
Jun 5, 2015 11:44 AM - donhuevo: that's freaky
Jun 5, 2015 11:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: later
Jun 5, 2015 11:44 AM - Mike Kelly: later
Jun 5, 2015 11:47 AM - donhuevo: my first thought, but now I don't think it's gonna work...
Jun 5, 2015 12:03 PM - toy: don btw it was line 545 in the pins.h that needed changed
Jun 5, 2015 12:18 PM - daniel871: Anybody heard about peachyprint for the cheap SLA printer build?
Jun 5, 2015 12:18 PM - daniel871: http://www.peachyprinter.com/
Jun 5, 2015 12:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah their prints look like crap
Jun 5, 2015 12:21 PM - daniel871: I was going to say they didn't look too bad but then I clicked a thumbnail and you're right.
Jun 5, 2015 12:21 PM - daniel871: Wasn't expecting Form1 levels of detail either though.
Jun 5, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: no but you could probably get better detail with a handheld uv laser
Jun 5, 2015 12:47 PM - daniel871: This is pretty funny. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheBasicsOf3DPrintingIn2015FromSomeoneWith16WHOLEHOURSExperience.aspx
Jun 5, 2015 12:50 PM - daniel871: In a "I've messed around for 16 hours and now know what I'm doing" kind of thing.
Jun 5, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: sounds like most new printers
Jun 5, 2015 1:15 PM - toy: i remember my first print lol
Jun 5, 2015 1:16 PM - toy: didnt turn out so good but wasnt my fault.... someone at robo forgot to tighten my y-belt so it skipped steps everywhere
Jun 5, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: my first print was surprisingly good
Jun 5, 2015 1:20 PM - toy: 2nd print was fine after i found the loose belt
Jun 5, 2015 1:21 PM - toy: i ordered some 3mm linear bearings for my floating hotend upgrade
Jun 5, 2015 1:22 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 5, 2015 1:22 PM - toy: i need to redesign it so i can access the set screw in the back... right now i have to disassemble the whole thing
Jun 5, 2015 1:24 PM - Mike Kelly: so put it behind the fan
Jun 5, 2015 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: back
Jun 5, 2015 1:27 PM - Mike Kelly:
Jun 5, 2015 1:34 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/6MqO4WG
Jun 5, 2015 1:34 PM - toy: right now the fan faces the camera
Jun 5, 2015 1:34 PM - toy: im thinking about rotating it 90
Jun 5, 2015 1:37 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/UN6A3tf.gifv holy crap
Jun 5, 2015 1:37 PM - Mike Kelly: right, you can install the set screws from the fan side
Jun 5, 2015 1:38 PM - Bill Monroe: back
Jun 5, 2015 1:49 PM - Mike Kelly: kinect one for $70 with code RMN10OFF50 https://www.choxi.com/daily_deals/v...or_with_dance_central_spotlight_download_card
Jun 5, 2015 1:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: I just witnessed a strange temp fall problem
Jun 5, 2015 1:59 PM - Mike Kelly: oh?
Jun 5, 2015 2:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: Print head moved too fast on a non print move
Jun 5, 2015 2:01 PM - Stephen Capistron: So I slowed from 120 to 80 and it looks like it barely made it past the first big non print move
Jun 5, 2015 2:02 PM - Stephen Capistron: Still sent m220 s90 to be safer
Jun 5, 2015 2:02 PM - Printed Solid: Hey guys, I think someone on this forum is telling people that they can switch back and forth between 1.75 and 3mm on a E3D V6 by only switching nozzles, which is not true.
Jun 5, 2015 2:02 PM - Printed Solid: Has anyone else read this in posts?
Jun 5, 2015 2:02 PM - Printed Solid: or, shall I say anyone, because I haven't seen it anywhere.
Jun 5, 2015 2:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: Thanks to having a temp graph I can see the drop and recovery
Jun 5, 2015 2:03 PM - Mike Kelly: i've never seen that
Jun 5, 2015 2:04 PM - Stephen Capistron: I have not either. Sounds like e3d inadvertently sent some 3mm units out to people though
Jun 5, 2015 2:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: That is the only cross talk of 3 v 1.75 I have seen
Jun 5, 2015 2:06 PM - Printed Solid: I've had a few people order 3mm nozzles for their 1.75 in the past week and call complaining when it doesn't work.
Jun 5, 2015 2:06 PM - Printed Solid: not sure where they're getting the idea that it would.
Jun 5, 2015 2:06 PM - Printed Solid: they said someone on the forums...
Jun 5, 2015 2:06 PM - Stephen Capistron: Facebook?
Jun 5, 2015 2:07 PM - jbigler1986: OK. So the small gear doesn't fit onto the shaft for the herringbone gears
Jun 5, 2015 2:08 PM - Stephen Capistron: I know the 1.75 shows as out of stock so maybe they are just ordering what is available while not knowing any better
Jun 5, 2015 2:08 PM - Printed Solid: ya. sorry for the disruption.
Jun 5, 2015 2:10 PM - jbigler1986: Anyone have a small herringbone for the robo extruder shaft?
Jun 5, 2015 2:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'll be placing an order with you soonish
Jun 5, 2015 2:10 PM - jbigler1986: The one I printed is just round. Doesn't have the flat part for the shaft
Jun 5, 2015 2:11 PM - Stephen Capistron: I do. It is sitting next to my printer
Jun 5, 2015 2:11 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have the stl for it?
Jun 5, 2015 2:11 PM - Printed Solid: it's not on thingiverse?
Jun 5, 2015 2:11 PM - Stephen Capistron: There should be a slot to drop a nut in so you can use a set screw
Jun 5, 2015 2:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'm on the train into Boston
Jun 5, 2015 2:13 PM - jbigler1986: I got this one from thingiverse. Would have to download a bunch to see if any would work on the shaft without a set screw like the stock gear
Jun 5, 2015 2:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: I know the ones Ben R posted has that feature anyways
Jun 5, 2015 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: I will print his then.

 

Jun 5, 2015 2:14 PM - Printed Solid: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:69794
Jun 5, 2015 2:14 PM - Stephen Capistron: The slot for a screw, not a flat
Jun 5, 2015 2:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: Good luck. I'm off
Jun 5, 2015 2:19 PM - Mike Glass: Yah im back from the lake.
Jun 5, 2015 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: how was it
Jun 5, 2015 2:25 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah jb just use a nut and screw
Jun 5, 2015 2:32 PM - Sims Reaper: Does anyone here use autodesk fusion 360
Jun 5, 2015 2:34 PM - Sims Reaper: Or have recommendations for a good 3d design program. Hopefully one that can do simple structural design as well as be able to handle more organic sculpting
Jun 5, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Kelly: SolidWorks
Jun 5, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Kelly: though organic sculpting isn't as easy but it is possible
Jun 5, 2015 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: i've poked around with autodesk fusion for mac a bit
Jun 5, 2015 2:42 PM - Sims Reaper: I was looking at Solidworks, but the cost.. Unless I am missing the non-commercial package
Jun 5, 2015 2:43 PM - Sims Reaper: Fusion "seems" to do lots for free. Unless used for profit
Jun 5, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: there's educational discounts
Jun 5, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: OnShape looks pretty good, plus it's free
Jun 5, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: or there's some 5 finger discounts on solidworks if you know where to look
Jun 5, 2015 2:44 PM - Sims Reaper: I may know some of those places
Jun 5, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: they don't even seem to mind because they make such an insane amount from business
Jun 5, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: they even told bill to do that when he inquired about a retired person discount
Jun 5, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: skies just opened up
Jun 5, 2015 2:48 PM - Mike Kelly: and there's the hail
Jun 5, 2015 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: T minus 5 minutes till sunny skies
Jun 5, 2015 3:08 PM - Mike Kelly: and there it is
Jun 5, 2015 3:09 PM - Mike Glass: nice
Jun 5, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Glass: suppose to be 91 on moday.. ugg too hot
Jun 5, 2015 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: gross
Jun 5, 2015 3:11 PM - Mike Kelly: after living here a few years I have to wonder how the hell i handled living in west texas and new mexico
Jun 5, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Glass: I rather live in alaska, I hate the heat
Jun 5, 2015 3:12 PM - Mike Kelly: you'd think montana would be pretty temperate
Jun 5, 2015 3:13 PM - Mike Glass: its not bad I think we only hit over 100 a couple time last year, but the year before was horrible
Jun 5, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah last year we had a brutal summer
Jun 5, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: or maybe it was 2 years ago
Jun 5, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Glass: with all the fires yeah I remember
Jun 5, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: either way we had a really bad heat wave in the middle of may
Jun 5, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: which also coincided with our AC going out
Jun 5, 2015 3:14 PM - Mike Kelly: let's just say i never want to see our inside thermostat to read 90 ever again
Jun 5, 2015 3:15 PM - Mike Glass: We only used ours maybe a weeks worth last year, our house keeps fairly cool, the shop sucks, I still have to insulate the ceiling.
Jun 5, 2015 3:16 PM - Mike Kelly: my garage is insulated in the ceiling and the door but for some reason it still gets unbearably hot or cold in thee
Jun 5, 2015 3:17 PM - Mike Glass: what about the walls?
Jun 5, 2015 3:17 PM - Mike Glass: err what r value
Jun 5, 2015 3:17 PM - Mike Kelly: R value for which
Jun 5, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Glass: the walls
Jun 5, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess i assume the walls are insulated, not very sure I suppose
Jun 5, 2015 3:20 PM - Mike Glass: I may end up moving my wood tools, multitool to the other shop on the other side of the house unil I get the shop ceiling done, Cant work in heat.
Jun 5, 2015 3:20 PM - Mike Kelly: "other shop" lucky bastard
Jun 5, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Glass: It was our old garage, was going to turn it into a family room, but gonna have to wait on that.
Jun 5, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Glass: Right now it is stuffed full of the kids motorized cars and my wifes furniture she refinishing.
Jun 5, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Jun 5, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: if we ever finish refinishing our guest room i could move my printers inside
Jun 5, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Kelly: then i can rebuild my garage shop without the horrible and smelly cabinets
Jun 5, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Glass: smelly cabinets?
Jun 5, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: i have no idea how a cabinet could smell so bad but man they're awful
Jun 5, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: like they spilt some chemical under them or something, plus death
Jun 5, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd like just a shitload more drawers
Jun 5, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: have you tried coffee grounds and newspaper
Jun 5, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Kelly: nope this idea is new to me
Jun 5, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: both soak up oders
Jun 5, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: gotcha
Jun 5, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: either way, they're too deep, no internal shelving
Jun 5, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: and the top is just chip board which warps
Jun 5, 2015 3:27 PM - Mike Glass: I found a kitchen set somebody was getting rid of, nothing fancy but white melamine for $100
Jun 5, 2015 3:27 PM - Mike Kelly: that's basically what this is
Jun 5, 2015 3:27 PM - Mike Kelly: the spot where my computer is is an old sink cabinet
Jun 5, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Kelly: doesn't have a drawer and has a port in the back for the drain
Jun 5, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Kelly: i need to remove the panel and put in a slide out keyboard tray so i can free up some bench space
Jun 5, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Glass: Im trying to find some good wood engraving bits, the best ones I find are the ones for my carvewright..lol
Jun 5, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 5, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Kelly: naturally
Jun 5, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Kelly: for the multitool?
Jun 5, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Glass: I should really start using the carvewright now that I upgraded it to use stl files.
Jun 5, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Glass: yea need more bits for multitool
Jun 5, 2015 3:31 PM - Mike Glass: The carvewright has some special locking bit adaptor not sure if they remove or not.
Jun 5, 2015 3:32 PM - Mike Glass: Did I see you printing the MP CNC last night?
Jun 5, 2015 3:35 PM - Mike Kelly: you did
Jun 5, 2015 3:35 PM - Mike Kelly: bringing the red home this evening to knock some more out
Jun 5, 2015 3:36 PM - Mike Glass: what specs are you building them at
Jun 5, 2015 3:36 PM - Mike Kelly: 50% infill and i think 4 perimeters
Jun 5, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Glass: I went 4mm perimeters(yes this is correct) and 25% I believe
Jun 5, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Kelly: good lord
Jun 5, 2015 3:38 PM - Mike Glass: mostly because I felt the inset nuts would break out the plastic if tightened to much.
Jun 5, 2015 3:38 PM - Mike Kelly: where are there inset nuts
Jun 5, 2015 3:39 PM - Mike Glass: on the blocks
Jun 5, 2015 3:39 PM - Mike Kelly: ah
Jun 5, 2015 3:39 PM - Mike Kelly: i'll probably make those stronger
Jun 5, 2015 3:39 PM - Mike Kelly: i just didn't think the motor mount needed to be insanely strong
Jun 5, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Glass: I will check I wrote it all down what I did.
Jun 5, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Glass: im back at work now making up some time
Jun 5, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Kelly: you're way better at book keeping than I
Jun 5, 2015 3:41 PM - Mike Glass: I was,now im too lazy.. usually if I remember I will save the gcode.
Jun 5, 2015 3:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm making a big excel file right now for my technician of all the plasma cut parts including pictures
Jun 5, 2015 3:42 PM - Mike Kelly: nice time killer
Jun 5, 2015 3:43 PM - Mike Glass: yea I was gonna do some diagrams for your network today, but didnt get to it.
Jun 5, 2015 3:44 PM - Mike Kelly: like denvers network?
Jun 5, 2015 3:44 PM - Mike Glass: haha damn, I meant our...I need a beer
Jun 5, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: ah
Jun 5, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: it is almost beer o'clock
Jun 5, 2015 3:47 PM - Mike Glass: So I did some Viper logo's yesterday on the multitool, guess I will keep going and do some others, maybe Lamborghni next
Jun 5, 2015 3:48 PM - Mike Kelly: neat
Jun 5, 2015 3:48 PM - Mike Kelly: where are you finding these
Jun 5, 2015 3:48 PM - Mike Glass: Im making them

 

Jun 5, 2015 3:48 PM - Mike Kelly: oh right from images
Jun 5, 2015 3:48 PM - Mike Glass: well modifing them
Jun 5, 2015 3:49 PM - Mike Glass: I blenderize them.
Jun 5, 2015 3:49 PM - Mike Glass: actually getting better with blender, need to get my spacenav working with it.
Jun 5, 2015 3:51 PM - Mike Kelly: never really played with that
Jun 5, 2015 4:00 PM - Mike Glass: Ok beer stop then home.
Jun 5, 2015 4:05 PM - jbigler1986: MK. Need a favor
Jun 5, 2015 4:06 PM - jbigler1986: On the small herringbone gear. I need it to have the same pattern for the shaft of the stepper as the stock one. Could you do that?
Jun 5, 2015 4:07 PM - jbigler1986: I can do it but not sure if I would get it centered enough
Jun 5, 2015 4:08 PM - jbigler1986: I don't feel like running to the hardware store. Don't have any nits and bolts small enough on hand
Jun 5, 2015 5:03 PM - Bill Monroe: as you were
Jun 5, 2015 5:16 PM - Mike Kelly: can you get me a solid model of it jb
Jun 5, 2015 5:18 PM - jbigler1986: I just forced it on it then put a dab of glue in the set screw hole
Jun 5, 2015 5:18 PM - jbigler1986: Calibrated extruder. Printing a test cube now
Jun 5, 2015 5:26 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 5, 2015 5:34 PM - Mike Kelly: Neat
Jun 5, 2015 5:34 PM - Mike Kelly: Hopefully it stays put
Jun 5, 2015 5:36 PM - jbigler1986: Only thing I could get you is the stl I think. Would that be fine?
Jun 5, 2015 5:37 PM - jbigler1986: Let me double check though
Jun 5, 2015 5:38 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18379/#files
Jun 5, 2015 5:40 PM - Mike Kelly: I guess I thought there were openscad files somewhere
Jun 5, 2015 5:41 PM - jbigler1986: There are scad files there. Not sure which ones you need though
Jun 5, 2015 5:43 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/download:59454
Jun 5, 2015 5:44 PM - Mike Kelly: Holy crap just pulled a dead snake from my pond
Jun 5, 2015 5:46 PM - Mike Glass: better then a live one
Jun 5, 2015 5:47 PM - Mike Kelly: Totally.
Jun 5, 2015 5:48 PM - Mike Kelly: It's funny cause there was a random pigeon egg on our fence post that went missing
Jun 5, 2015 5:48 PM - Mike Kelly: My wife joking said 'I bet a snake ate it'
Jun 5, 2015 5:48 PM - Mike Kelly: Welp
Jun 5, 2015 5:48 PM - jbigler1986: Did that scad file have the gears?
Jun 5, 2015 5:50 PM - Mike Glass: Mike, I was able to stip one of my Carvewright bits from its mount, so I can use that for 3d carving on the Multi now.
Jun 5, 2015 5:53 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
Jun 5, 2015 5:53 PM - Mike Glass: now just have to figure out how to 3d carve..lol
Jun 5, 2015 5:56 PM - Mike Kelly: i can't figure out why the gear files won't render
Jun 5, 2015 5:57 PM - jbigler1986: Never tried to mess with a scad file
Jun 5, 2015 6:00 PM - jbigler1986: 25.15mm x, 25.13mm y, 25.14mm z
Jun 5, 2015 6:00 PM - jbigler1986: Should I calibrate more?
Jun 5, 2015 6:02 PM - Mike Kelly: how'd you calibrate
Jun 5, 2015 6:04 PM - jbigler1986: Tom's guide
Jun 5, 2015 6:05 PM - Mike Kelly: i dunno that seems fine
Jun 5, 2015 6:06 PM - Mike Glass: hah they added a transfer case to the toyota model?
Jun 5, 2015 6:06 PM - Mike Kelly: wait what now
Jun 5, 2015 6:07 PM - Mike Glass: yea they added 4 wheel drive transfer case
Jun 5, 2015 6:08 PM - Mike Kelly: it's never gonna end!
Jun 5, 2015 6:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i'll have a car by then
Jun 5, 2015 6:09 PM - Mike Glass: thats next im sure..lol
Jun 5, 2015 6:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i won't have any room left on my desk!

Jun 5, 2015 6:52 PM - Sims Reaper: jb that gear is excellent. Very well done!
Jun 5, 2015 7:02 PM - TechSupportGo: HELLO
Jun 5, 2015 7:02 PM - TechSupportGo: MG still here
Jun 5, 2015 7:03 PM - Mike Glass: yea just got back from dinner
Jun 5, 2015 7:05 PM - daniel871: Well, put the enclosure bits together with heavy application of weld-on in the joints/inside corners and left to cure in the garage overnight.
Jun 5, 2015 7:06 PM - Mike Glass: you didnt do it in the house..lol
Jun 5, 2015 7:06 PM - daniel871: Re-used the backing tape as the support tape to hold the panels together.
Jun 5, 2015 7:07 PM - daniel871: Well no. That way if my shaky hands spilled the weld on it would be on the concrete floor and not the laminate wood in the house.
Jun 5, 2015 7:08 PM - TechSupportGo: Braydon M contacted me today about using pictures of the guitar on social. I took a bunch for him before I started sanding everything down.
Jun 5, 2015 7:08 PM - Mike Glass: The fumes are pretty bad too
Jun 5, 2015 7:09 PM - Mike Glass: sweet TSG
Jun 5, 2015 7:09 PM - daniel871: Didnt really smell any, but the garage doors were open and there was a light breeze this evening.
Jun 5, 2015 7:10 PM - TechSupportGo: I hope to finish clear coating it this weekend but need everything to dry hard before adding the electronics
Jun 5, 2015 7:11 PM - TechSupportGo: I bought red strings for it! gonna be bad ass
Jun 5, 2015 7:12 PM - Mike Kelly: i can't wait to hear how it sounds
Jun 5, 2015 7:14 PM - Mike Kelly: daniel, weldon?
Jun 5, 2015 7:14 PM - Mike Kelly: like the grey kind?
Jun 5, 2015 7:17 PM - Mike Glass: I should cut one out on the cnc, when you gonna share your file?
Jun 5, 2015 7:19 PM - daniel871: The one in the thread for the enclosure.
Jun 5, 2015 7:20 PM - daniel871: http://www.amazon.com/SCIGRIP-10799...UTF8&qid=1403381125&sr=8-2&keywords=weld+on+3
Jun 5, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Glass: I meant TSG's Guitar
Jun 5, 2015 7:24 PM - daniel871: I was confused by the "daniel, weldon?" I guess.
Jun 5, 2015 7:27 PM - Mike Kelly: Oh derp misread
Jun 5, 2015 7:28 PM - Mike Kelly: Gotcha
Jun 5, 2015 7:28 PM - Mike Kelly: I hope you like it
Jun 5, 2015 7:34 PM - TechSupportGo: Not sure yet about the files.. I might do a thing where I need to reach a certain thumbs up on the youtube video but I also mentioned to braydon about making it a makeable exclusive or something
Jun 5, 2015 7:34 PM - daniel871: We'll see how it does after I mount it and print with Tglase or nylon again.
Jun 5, 2015 7:35 PM - Mike Glass: Why do you need an eclosure for that?
Jun 5, 2015 7:35 PM - daniel871: Drafty house.
Jun 5, 2015 7:36 PM - daniel871: Also the AC is apparently strong enough to cause a temp fall error if I dont have the vent in my room blocked while printing.
Jun 5, 2015 7:38 PM - daniel871: Also going to attempt ABS at some point, but might as well prepare the printer as best I can first to eliminate the easiest ways to ruin the print.
Jun 5, 2015 7:38 PM - Mike Kelly: And the powers out
Jun 5, 2015 7:55 PM - Mike Kelly: Good thing I forgot to start a print

Jun 6, 2015 1:10 AM - fattiecakes: Hello all
Jun 6, 2015 4:15 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Jun 6, 2015 4:26 AM - Bill Monroe: yo
Jun 6, 2015 4:28 AM - jbigler1986: What's going on
Jun 6, 2015 4:29 AM - Bill Monroe: same ol stuff... working on a part design till dawn... then the plane till dark
Jun 6, 2015 4:29 AM - Bill Monroe: you?
Jun 6, 2015 4:42 AM - TechSupportGo: morning
Jun 6, 2015 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: Just getting kids ready for soccer then off to buy a canoe after that
Jun 6, 2015 4:43 AM - jbigler1986: Morning TSG
Jun 6, 2015 4:44 AM - Bill Monroe: ahhh the day you buy a canoe.. one fo the two best days of canoe ownership
Jun 6, 2015 4:44 AM - Bill Monroe: TG
Jun 6, 2015 4:45 AM - TechSupportGo: cool
Jun 6, 2015 4:53 AM - jbigler1986: Already have one. Just need another since the kids are getting bigger
Jun 6, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: They aren't like a boat. Not really any maintenence
Jun 6, 2015 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: well
Jun 6, 2015 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: this extruder shaft has 2 flats on it instead of one.
Jun 6, 2015 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, I have a Kayak.. I understand
Jun 6, 2015 5:14 AM - Bill Monroe: lots of the steppers robo uses have 2... or should I say "steepers"
Jun 6, 2015 5:39 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i need to edit the small herringbone now
Jun 6, 2015 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: I would just get a bolt and nut but I want to post it for others to use without any other hardware
Jun 6, 2015 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe: i had a 13 hour print fail in the last hour due to a loose connection at the ramps screws for the bed heater
Jun 6, 2015 6:19 AM - jbigler1986: That's shitty
Jun 6, 2015 6:20 AM - Bill Monroe: eh, could be worse
Jun 6, 2015 7:20 AM - Sims Reaper: Good morning all.
Jun 6, 2015 7:25 AM - Bill Monroe: hi
Jun 6, 2015 7:26 AM - Bill Monroe: <-- shopping for a solder sucker
Jun 6, 2015 7:27 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bills-lab
Jun 6, 2015 8:23 AM - jbigler1986: Should be able to find one at fry's
Jun 6, 2015 8:25 AM - Bill Monroe: tips but no stations
Jun 6, 2015 8:25 AM - Bill Monroe: the Hakko looks lik the way to go but I've never heard of it
Jun 6, 2015 8:25 AM - Bill Monroe: way back when, I had a Pace station.. even old and used they want big bucks for those
Jun 6, 2015 8:26 AM - WheresWaldo: Sorry to jump in here, but FYI, HAKKO is very well made stuff.
Jun 6, 2015 8:26 AM - Bill Monroe: heh jump in anytime
Jun 6, 2015 8:26 AM - WheresWaldo: As far as Chinese stuff is 'very well made"
Jun 6, 2015 8:27 AM - Bill Monroe: pump is self contained, yes?
Jun 6, 2015 8:27 AM - WheresWaldo: Not familiar with their Solder Sucker, but I am familiar with their soldering and reflow stations.
Jun 6, 2015 8:28 AM - Bill Monroe: ah ok.. there's no mention of a seperate one so and it's kinda bulky so I guessed it was internal
Jun 6, 2015 8:28 AM - WheresWaldo: Even the cheap Hakko clones are not that bad
Jun 6, 2015 8:29 AM - Bill Monroe: I usually just use wick now but my son is coming home and HE will use it a lot more than I
Jun 6, 2015 8:30 AM - WheresWaldo: Were you looking at something like the FR300
Jun 6, 2015 8:30 AM - Bill Monroe: yup on Amazon
Jun 6, 2015 8:31 AM - jbigler1986: I'm not a big fan of wich
Jun 6, 2015 8:31 AM - jbigler1986: Wick
Jun 6, 2015 8:31 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. but it works and it's cheap
Jun 6, 2015 8:32 AM - Bill Monroe: the pump and I never really resolved our differences
Jun 6, 2015 8:36 AM - Mike Glass: Mornin
Jun 6, 2015 8:36 AM - Bill Monroe: MG
Jun 6, 2015 8:37 AM - WheresWaldo: Let me correct myself, original Hakko is Japanese, probably some of the best made machines of their kind. but like I said the Chinese copies aren't too bad either.
Jun 6, 2015 8:39 AM - Mike Glass: just use a torch and then blow it out with compressed air
Jun 6, 2015 8:40 AM - Bill Monroe: hey! I got an oxy-acetlyne cutting torch, think that will do?
Jun 6, 2015 8:41 AM - Mike Glass: will it melt plastic as well
Jun 6, 2015 8:41 AM - Bill Monroe: nice!
Jun 6, 2015 8:42 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bills-lab
Jun 6, 2015 8:46 AM - WheresWaldo: Does anyone have files other than STL for Robo feet? I don't want to go to all the trouble of recreating them.
Jun 6, 2015 8:46 AM - Bill Monroe: other than stl? the ones on thingiverse wont work for you?
Jun 6, 2015 8:47 AM - Bill Monroe: <<- liberated some displays from a Statasys...
Jun 6, 2015 8:49 AM - WheresWaldo: I want to modify the right front. All that's on Thingiverse are STLs. I suppose I can run it through FreeCAD and convert to solid so I can manipulate it.
Jun 6, 2015 8:52 AM - Bill Monroe: clearance for a panel, I'll bet
Jun 6, 2015 8:53 AM - Bill Monroe: dont know FreeCAD.. Solidworks can do it
Jun 6, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Glass: Blender works great for manipulating stl's
Jun 6, 2015 8:56 AM - Bill Monroe: Blender is only good for Margaruitas
Jun 6, 2015 8:56 AM - Bill Monroe:
Jun 6, 2015 9:02 AM - WheresWaldo: Yep clearance and a built in mount. I don't know Solidworks, but I know FreeCAD can do it, it is 5 step process with only one input parameter.
Jun 6, 2015 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: 25.03, 25, 24.97mm on my cube. Think I'm good to go now
Jun 6, 2015 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: Tinkercad isn't bad for easy stuff for stl files
Jun 6, 2015 9:06 AM - WheresWaldo: @jb That's about where I'm at, but I had to jump through hoops to get there. Using new version of Slic3r and XY Compensation (only in version 1.2+) and X/Y scaling at the same time.
Jun 6, 2015 9:08 AM - jbigler1986: I spent 2 months of messing with my machine. I had it printing perfect. Extruder gear clanking noise was starting to annoy me so I installed herringbone gears
Jun 6, 2015 9:10 AM - WheresWaldo: I did the herringbone upgrade (????) also. Was consistently 3-4% undersize in X and Y, okay on Z. Now it is right on, and the hole sizes are nearly perfect. I can actually print size specific parts and know they will be the right size. Only took two and a half weeks to work it all out.
Jun 6, 2015 9:10 AM - Mike Glass: I need to install my gears, what did you have to change?
Jun 6, 2015 9:11 AM - jbigler1986: you may not need to change anything
Jun 6, 2015 9:11 AM - jbigler1986: 25.13mm average on a 25mm cube just wasn't good enough so i calibrated the extruder
Jun 6, 2015 9:12 AM - Mike Glass: I think I should reprint them, think I printed those with the wrong firmware.
Jun 6, 2015 9:13 AM - WheresWaldo: Make sure you use the ones that were modified for the Robo. Since the Greg's Wade they use is a slightly odd. Since I use Slicer, I had to thin the perimeter by -0.15 mm and then scale the object up by 1.025.
Jun 6, 2015 9:13 AM - WheresWaldo: @jb what did you work out for E-Steps?
Jun 6, 2015 9:14 AM - Mike Glass: robo uses the common gregs wade, so what is the difference.
Jun 6, 2015 9:14 AM - jbigler1986: i didn't have to do any of that craziness
Jun 6, 2015 9:14 AM - jbigler1986: i just printed them then installed them. nothing else
Jun 6, 2015 9:15 AM - WheresWaldo: I couldn't get my motor to pivot on the bottom screw, seems like it was only one orientation and could not control the gear mesh.
Jun 6, 2015 9:15 AM - jbigler1986: although my printer is well tuned. MG urs is well tuned to you shouldn't have to do anything
Jun 6, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Glass: is it fairly easy to replace, just loosen the one bolt and it all pulls out?
Jun 6, 2015 9:17 AM - Mike Glass: Did it get rid of the anoying clicking sound?
Jun 6, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: yes it did
Jun 6, 2015 9:18 AM - Mike Glass: is it that the gear didnt fit the bolt correctly?
Jun 6, 2015 9:18 AM - jbigler1986: just remove filament. then hold the head of the bolt and spin the big gear and it will unscrew
Jun 6, 2015 9:19 AM - jbigler1986: i modifying the small gear right now to fit onto the shaft without needing a bolt
Jun 6, 2015 9:19 AM - jbigler1986: just like the stock one
Jun 6, 2015 9:19 AM - WheresWaldo: If you are using this one http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:760093, likely nothing else need be done, except with JB pointed out. It already has the D center hole.

 

Jun 6, 2015 9:19 AM - Mike Glass: I really dont like hatchbox's spool, at the end of the spool its really curly and hard to feed.
Jun 6, 2015 9:20 AM - WheresWaldo: @JB, I want to revisit your extruder calibration, what did you mean when you said "that silliness"?
Jun 6, 2015 9:21 AM - jbigler1986: thinning the perimeter and scaling it
Jun 6, 2015 9:22 AM - WheresWaldo: So then what did you end up with for e-Steps?
Jun 6, 2015 9:22 AM - WheresWaldo: Did you leave the 723.38 default?
Jun 6, 2015 9:23 AM - jbigler1986: no. mine is at 769.4
Jun 6, 2015 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: Morning
Jun 6, 2015 9:23 AM - jbigler1986: I rarely have anything that is stock on my printer
Jun 6, 2015 9:23 AM - Mike Kelly: Jb did you download the file I posted yesterday
Jun 6, 2015 9:24 AM - WheresWaldo: Mine ended up being 810 after several measurements involving multiple ways to extrude 100 mm of filament.
Jun 6, 2015 9:24 AM - jbigler1986: morning MK. Yeah I installed it. I'm editing it though. There are actually 2 flats on the extruder shaft. not just one. Unless you could add another quick
Jun 6, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: how long would it take you to add another?
Jun 6, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: I just copied the original
Jun 6, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Kelly: Not that long
Jun 6, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/download:1259762
Jun 6, 2015 9:26 AM - jbigler1986: there is a scad for a a herringbone that has 2 flats. I like the bigger base of the one you modified though
Jun 6, 2015 9:26 AM - jbigler1986: so if you could make the one you edited like that i will send you a cookie
Jun 6, 2015 9:27 AM - Mike Glass: How about a pie!
Jun 6, 2015 9:28 AM - Bill Monroe: i want to get one of the displays they use in the XXL
Jun 6, 2015 9:28 AM - jbigler1986: probably wouldn't be a good thing to ship
Jun 6, 2015 9:30 AM - jbigler1986: this is the crazy shit that is going on in my city right now http://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/2015/06/06/noblesville-bed-race/28594211/
Jun 6, 2015 9:30 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jun 6, 2015 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: Does that one have 2 flats?
Jun 6, 2015 9:30 AM - jbigler1986: the scad i just linked?
Jun 6, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah I'm on mobile
Jun 6, 2015 9:31 AM - jbigler1986: it does. i loaded the stl and looked at it
Jun 6, 2015 9:31 AM - WheresWaldo: The I don't know much about OpenSCAD but you only need to change one parameter in line 182 to make the base the same size as the lip. Just change the d= in the cylinder command to d=18
Jun 6, 2015 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: i don't use openscad
Jun 6, 2015 9:33 AM - WheresWaldo: Me either
Jun 6, 2015 9:39 AM - Mike Kelly: No time like the present jb
Jun 6, 2015 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: isn't openscad like coding?
Jun 6, 2015 9:42 AM - donhuevo: afternoon!
Jun 6, 2015 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: hello
Jun 6, 2015 9:45 AM - donhuevo: has anyone bought anything from robotdigg yet?
Jun 6, 2015 9:53 AM - Bill Monroe: I have trouble dealing with companies that call tools "vitamins"

Jun 6, 2015 9:56 AM - jbigler1986: did it in tinkercad
Jun 6, 2015 9:57 AM - donhuevo: Mike, they have one linear stepper with a 460mm screw
Jun 6, 2015 9:57 AM - Mike Kelly: wow
Jun 6, 2015 9:57 AM - donhuevo: and they'll let you special order up to 600
Jun 6, 2015 9:57 AM - Mike Kelly: gonna get that for your printerator?
Jun 6, 2015 9:58 AM - donhuevo: maybe
Jun 6, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: very tempting
Jun 6, 2015 10:00 AM - donhuevo: except that when I tried to place an order, it wouldn't let me. Called it a pre-order and I'd get an email w/in 24hrs to complete
Jun 6, 2015 10:00 AM - donhuevo: weird
Jun 6, 2015 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: they list a skype on their main page, have you tried that?
Jun 6, 2015 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: also do we know where they ship from?
Jun 6, 2015 10:01 AM - donhuevo: no sir. China most likely
Jun 6, 2015 10:04 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what i guessed
Jun 6, 2015 10:04 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.robotdigg.com/product/245/Tr8*4-400mm-Leadscrew-Threaded-Stepper 400mm
Jun 6, 2015 10:06 AM - donhuevo: at least at first blush, the prices seem really reasonable
Jun 6, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Glass: Thats where I got the quote for 10 of them Mike.
Jun 6, 2015 10:10 AM - Mike Kelly: ah
Jun 6, 2015 10:10 AM - Mike Kelly: what length did you quote at
Jun 6, 2015 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Their shipping price sucks
Jun 6, 2015 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: For 2 steppers with lead screws it was like $30
Jun 6, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Glass: I believe the 350
Jun 6, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i figure shipping is like 30
Jun 6, 2015 10:12 AM - donhuevo: I'm looking for quality GT2 idler pulleys with preferrably an 8mm bore. My hope is to stack them.
Jun 6, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm kinda considering buying some geared steppers with 8mm drive shaft

Jun 6, 2015 10:13 AM - Mike Glass: yea they have lots of good stuff
Jun 6, 2015 10:14 AM - donhuevo: just don't understand why I can't buy something with paypal and be done
Jun 6, 2015 10:14 AM - donhuevo: maybe the store's closed on weekends.
Jun 6, 2015 10:15 AM - donhuevo: forced to window shop
Jun 6, 2015 10:15 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 6, 2015 10:16 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I see a lot of multicolored filament coming before long

Jun 6, 2015 10:28 AM - donhuevo: I found these on ebay last year. pretty sure they came from Israel. I only got 3 and now I need 8
Jun 6, 2015 10:28 AM - donhuevo:
Jun 6, 2015 10:28 AM - donhuevo: and that's what started this whole mess
Jun 6, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: How many filament lines do they have in Stock? Lol

 

Jun 6, 2015 10:52 AM - toy: so if i run i stock repetier speeds (infill 60) then jack the feed rate up to 300, wouldnt i be hitting 180 ( 3 x 60 )?
Jun 6, 2015 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: why not just set your speeds to 180
Jun 6, 2015 10:53 AM - toy: i tried and it failed to lay down correctly... but at the same time 60 x 300 speed increase works very nice
Jun 6, 2015 10:53 AM - toy: so im a little confused
Jun 6, 2015 10:53 AM - toy: i would think they are the same
Jun 6, 2015 10:54 AM - toy: ...btw i was working on making your video
Jun 6, 2015 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't fully understand what feed rate does
Jun 6, 2015 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: but no i don't think your original math is quite accurate
Jun 6, 2015 10:55 AM - toy: from my understanding a feedrate of 200 ( would be twice the slicer speed settings)
Jun 6, 2015 10:56 AM - donhuevo: everything else that goes into the final speed is doubled too like acceleration settings
Jun 6, 2015 10:57 AM - toy: so i am hitting 180
Jun 6, 2015 10:57 AM - toy: 60 infill with 300 feedrate
Jun 6, 2015 10:57 AM - donhuevo: I would think here and there like on long straightaways
Jun 6, 2015 10:58 AM - toy: i was holding it down on the 5mm test cube
Jun 6, 2015 10:58 AM - toy: under 10 mins with .2 layer
Jun 6, 2015 10:59 AM - toy: and i think i could have gone faster
Jun 6, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: this guy, i like this guy: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/cura-pause-at-z-fixed.5737/
Jun 6, 2015 11:02 AM - donhuevo: dude's color blind I think
Jun 6, 2015 11:02 AM - toy: he looks like cp3
Jun 6, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: lol don
Jun 6, 2015 11:04 AM - toy: how ez it for you mk, to switch out the filaments in the bondtechs
Jun 6, 2015 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: i tell it to retract
Jun 6, 2015 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: 600mm
Jun 6, 2015 11:06 AM - toy: sometimes i can get it to feed through all the holes... sometimes i have to take the head off and maually feed the filament through the holes
Jun 6, 2015 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: never have that problem
Jun 6, 2015 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: it just works
Jun 6, 2015 11:07 AM - toy: maybe i need to drill out my feed hole a little
Jun 6, 2015 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: possibly
Jun 6, 2015 11:09 AM - toy: the filament has a natural curve to it.... so sometimes it misses the exit hole of the extruder
Jun 6, 2015 11:10 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm i might straighten mine a bit but yeah it's never missed yet
Jun 6, 2015 11:11 AM - toy: ive been stroking my filament for over 10 mins now =)
Jun 6, 2015 11:11 AM - Mike Kelly: i have my wife do that for me
Jun 6, 2015 11:14 AM - Mike Glass: ok, what did I walk into here.
Jun 6, 2015 11:15 AM - donhuevo: just a bunch of girls back from the mall stroking filaments
Jun 6, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i need like a 380mm lead screw
Jun 6, 2015 11:17 AM - TechSupportGo: hello
Jun 6, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: Mike, you know she said that
Jun 6, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: hey tsg
Jun 6, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Jun 6, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: sup tsg how goes the prep work
Jun 6, 2015 11:24 AM - toy: u know u been printing for a while when 200C doesnt hurt as bad
Jun 6, 2015 11:25 AM - TechSupportGo: I glued two parts together and let it dry over night now I have two other parts.. I wish I had a belt sander to make the surfaces flatter
Jun 6, 2015 11:27 AM - toy: did u use meshalbs for the voronoi?
Jun 6, 2015 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: the scar from my 250C contact with the cyclops block is finally healing
Jun 6, 2015 11:28 AM - toy: 250 will diff get your attention
Jun 6, 2015 11:30 AM - toy: tsg, if u want to take the guitar to the next level use http://formularch.blogspot.com/2012/03/grasshopper-voronoi-skeleton.html

Jun 6, 2015 11:42 AM - jbigler1986: MK
Jun 6, 2015 11:42 AM - jbigler1986: can you make the hole a little bigger?
Jun 6, 2015 11:42 AM - toy: for more advanced voronoi use rhino+grasshopper
Jun 6, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.robotdigg.com/product/58/K-type-Thermocouple uh this isn't actually how you make a thermocouple connection
Jun 6, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Kelly: ok
Jun 6, 2015 11:55 AM - donhuevo: maybe for a hot water tank

Jun 6, 2015 12:03 PM - Mike Kelly: np
Jun 6, 2015 12:21 PM - jbigler1986: might be fine to get it off. lol
Jun 6, 2015 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: i mean fun to get off
Jun 6, 2015 12:39 PM - donhuevo: somewhere in the land of things she said there's a hole jb keeps digging deeper
Jun 6, 2015 12:39 PM - Mike Kelly: ^
Jun 6, 2015 12:39 PM - Mike Kelly: jb if it's on it's on
Jun 6, 2015 12:42 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Jun 6, 2015 12:43 PM - jbigler1986: Well I need to take it off to install greg's reloaded
Jun 6, 2015 12:43 PM - jbigler1986: Wait. Or do i
Jun 6, 2015 12:44 PM - donhuevo: take it all off
Jun 6, 2015 12:44 PM - jbigler1986: That's what she said
Jun 6, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: ok now what did I walk into
Jun 6, 2015 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: A little of this, a little of that
Jun 6, 2015 12:47 PM - donhuevo: how many of you agree Bruce Jenner looks like Rene Russo now?
Jun 6, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: lol kinda
Jun 6, 2015 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: Who is Bruce Jenner? It's Caitlin or however he/she spells it
Jun 6, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Kelly: i can see that
Jun 6, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Kelly: i forget where i ended up on your magneticly secured one
Jun 6, 2015 12:52 PM - donhuevo: what are you securing w/ magnets?
Jun 6, 2015 12:53 PM - jbigler1986: Did you work on it at all
Jun 6, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Kelly: i did yeah
Jun 6, 2015 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: don it's a greg's reloaded carriage that uses the similar style of mounting as my j-head groove mount for bowden
Jun 6, 2015 12:57 PM - TechSupportGo: I have to go to a birthday party but I need more sandpaper anyway lol
Jun 6, 2015 1:01 PM - toy: most annoying thing ever... cheap ramps board with sensitive pins
Jun 6, 2015 1:01 PM - toy: im tempted to bend the pins out some
Jun 6, 2015 1:05 PM - donhuevo: so I had extra 606zz bearings. pulley problem solved...
Jun 6, 2015 1:09 PM - Mike Kelly: vnice

Jun 6, 2015 1:16 PM - toy: config.h the part about hotend offset
Jun 6, 2015 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: Modified for the v6 too. Nice
Jun 6, 2015 1:22 PM - donhuevo: anybody know where the 'finish one part before you start the next' checkbox is in repetier?
Jun 6, 2015 1:26 PM - daniel871: Enclosure done. Didnt know about the noise dampening, thats nice.
Jun 6, 2015 1:30 PM - daniel871: My T-Rex looks like it died with food stuck in its teeth.
Jun 6, 2015 1:32 PM - daniel871:
Jun 6, 2015 1:33 PM - Mike Kelly: Lol nice
Jun 6, 2015 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: it doesn't need support

 

Jun 6, 2015 1:39 PM - jbigler1986: MK installed the gear. went on nice. just thumb pressure
Jun 6, 2015 1:39 PM - jbigler1986: printing gregs wade u posted now. starting the stream in a sec
Jun 6, 2015 1:40 PM - Mike Kelly: Awesome
Jun 6, 2015 1:41 PM - Mike Kelly: I'm always so listless during prints
Jun 6, 2015 1:42 PM - Mike Glass: You printing more parts MK
Jun 6, 2015 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jun 6, 2015 1:44 PM - Mike Kelly: Yup just printing away
Jun 6, 2015 1:45 PM - Mike Kelly: I'll switch cameras
Jun 6, 2015 1:46 PM - daniel871: First print fell over so I did it again with 10% support.
Jun 6, 2015 1:46 PM - daniel871: And a ton more hairspray.
Jun 6, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: Usually when I print a big part with little surface touching the bed I lower z offset a tiny bit
Jun 6, 2015 2:16 PM - Mike Glass: didnt realize when you stream to youtube it keeps the video file..
Jun 6, 2015 2:18 PM - jbigler1986: Sounds dangerous
Jun 6, 2015 2:19 PM - Mike Glass: it recorded 3 hours of my multitool cutting,,lol
Jun 6, 2015 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: Nice
Jun 6, 2015 2:36 PM - Mike Glass: camera looks really good jb
Jun 6, 2015 2:37 PM - Bill Monroe: back
Jun 6, 2015 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: Thx. Gonna need to do a little adjusting to remove the stringing after installing these
Jun 6, 2015 2:50 PM - Mike Glass: Hows Bill today
Jun 6, 2015 2:57 PM - Bill Monroe: Bills good! and you?
Jun 6, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Glass: hot, its is too damn hot.
Jun 6, 2015 3:05 PM - Bill Monroe: it's gorgeous here today
Jun 6, 2015 3:05 PM - donhuevo: here too
Jun 6, 2015 3:06 PM - Bill Monroe: putting a new RG battery in the plane.. then going to fly back up to Joshua Tree
Jun 6, 2015 3:25 PM - Bill Monroe:
Jun 6, 2015 3:27 PM - jbigler1986: Gorgeous here as well
Jun 6, 2015 3:28 PM - jbigler1986: How long has the plane been down Bill?
Jun 6, 2015 3:28 PM - Bill Monroe: 5 months.. removed and overhauled the landing gear systems
Jun 6, 2015 3:31 PM - jbigler1986: Ouch. I bet you can't wait to get it flying
Jun 6, 2015 3:53 PM - Bill Monroe: done!
Jun 6, 2015 3:53 PM - Bill Monroe: ya but with that much work, I proceed with great caution
Jun 6, 2015 3:55 PM - jbigler1986: What is everyone printing?
Jun 6, 2015 3:56 PM - jbigler1986: I'm sure you do. Anything involved with planes you should use great caution.
Jun 6, 2015 4:01 PM - jbigler1986: I like how newbies try to give advice that is completely
Jun 6, 2015 4:01 PM - jbigler1986: Not true
Jun 6, 2015 4:18 PM - Mike Glass: This is what I was printing
Jun 6, 2015 4:24 PM - jbigler1986: Nice
Jun 6, 2015 4:25 PM - jbigler1986: Are you printing these for someone?
Jun 6, 2015 5:16 PM - Printed Solid: lol JB re:advice yes, the enthusiastic learners can make it hard to correctly diagnose problems at times.
Jun 6, 2015 5:17 PM - Bill Monroe: Hi Matt
Jun 6, 2015 5:17 PM - Printed Solid: Hi Bill.
Jun 6, 2015 5:18 PM - Printed Solid: what's up?
Jun 6, 2015 5:18 PM - Bill Monroe: nothing horribly exciting except to me how bout you?
Jun 6, 2015 5:18 PM - jbigler1986: Trying to post a pic of my new greg's Wade that MK made for me. Img is being insanely slow
Jun 6, 2015 5:19 PM - Printed Solid: ya. busy with the business side of things. Getting ready for fairs... missing having time to actually make things.
Jun 6, 2015 5:20 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 6, 2015 5:20 PM - Printed Solid: nice
Jun 6, 2015 5:20 PM - Bill Monroe: looks like a typcial extruder to me
Jun 6, 2015 5:21 PM - Bill Monroe: 'cept it's blue
Jun 6, 2015 5:21 PM - Printed Solid: did you guys see someone is doing carbon fiber filled PEEK filament?
Jun 6, 2015 5:21 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 6, 2015 5:22 PM - Printed Solid: I've got to think that will be incredibly badass if it isn't too hard to print with.
Jun 6, 2015 5:22 PM - Bill Monroe: for what?
Jun 6, 2015 5:22 PM - jbigler1986: The mounting of it is different. Gonna add some magnets so it's gonna be quick to remove
Jun 6, 2015 5:22 PM - Printed Solid: it was one of the other extruder companies. maybe micron?
Jun 6, 2015 5:22 PM - Bill Monroe: that's it jb, fix it till it's broke!
Jun 6, 2015 5:23 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm. I wish I had a use for exotic filament
Jun 6, 2015 5:23 PM - Bill Monroe: what would carban infused peek be good for?
Jun 6, 2015 5:24 PM - jbigler1986: Well I think I have done a good job at not breaking so far Bill.
Jun 6, 2015 5:24 PM - Bill Monroe: its an old expression
Jun 6, 2015 5:24 PM - Bill Monroe: for those who cant leave a good thing alone
Jun 6, 2015 5:25 PM - Printed Solid: Parts where you need a higher temp engineering grade material. I don't really expect people to use it to print yoda heads.
Jun 6, 2015 5:25 PM - Printed Solid: although I'm sure they will.
Jun 6, 2015 5:25 PM - Bill Monroe: i wonder about UV resistance
Jun 6, 2015 5:26 PM - Printed Solid: Yeah, I don't know. That's a hard one. Most of the things you read about materials having good UV resistance tend to be with some special additives. Filaments typically don't have those.
Jun 6, 2015 5:27 PM - Bill Monroe: guess I'll resort to aluminum infused coatings
Jun 6, 2015 5:27 PM - jbigler1986: Any events around my area Matt?
Jun 6, 2015 5:27 PM - Printed Solid: I think just a UV resistant paint will do you.
Jun 6, 2015 5:27 PM - Printed Solid: I think there was a makerfaire in western michigan today...
Jun 6, 2015 5:28 PM - Printed Solid: nothing I'm attending.
Jun 6, 2015 5:28 PM - Printed Solid: I've got national makerfaire friday and saturday, then lancaster makersfest sunday.
Jun 6, 2015 5:28 PM - Printed Solid: Lancaster should be interesting. Nothing like showing new tech to amish and mennonite
Jun 6, 2015 5:28 PM - jbigler1986: Lucky
Jun 6, 2015 5:28 PM - Bill Monroe: i dunno.. I do a lot of uv protecting fabrics woven from pertrochemicals.. the only thing that seem to work well is a vinyl coating laced with powered aluminum
Jun 6, 2015 5:29 PM - Bill Monroe: hey... I'm amish
Jun 6, 2015 5:29 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe ur roots
Jun 6, 2015 5:29 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. but I have spent a lot of time with my family in PA
Jun 6, 2015 5:29 PM - Printed Solid: I actually do a lot in Lancaster because they have a great maker community.
Jun 6, 2015 5:30 PM - jbigler1986: Amish mafia. Lol
Jun 6, 2015 5:30 PM - Printed Solid: within the amish. We've debated on moving there, but driving aroudn is too much of a hassle from the horse and buggies.
Jun 6, 2015 5:30 PM - Bill Monroe: that amish mafia is much BS
Jun 6, 2015 5:31 PM - Bill Monroe: so much
Jun 6, 2015 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: I know it is. Makes me laugh
Jun 6, 2015 5:31 PM - Bill Monroe: its not a hassle if you're driving a horse and buggy too
Jun 6, 2015 5:32 PM - Bill Monroe: the buggies are a crack up.. old school horse drawn, made from fiber glass with disk brakes and turn signals
Jun 6, 2015 5:33 PM - Printed Solid: I think I'd be terrified in one of those. They drive them on some pretty serious roads.
Jun 6, 2015 5:33 PM - Bill Monroe: tell you what though.. a 17 year old boy has the best time
Jun 6, 2015 5:34 PM - Bill Monroe: with the amish, boys under 18 and girls under 16 are minors.. and minors can not sin
Jun 6, 2015 5:35 PM - Bill Monroe: at least, then I was 17 it was that way
Jun 6, 2015 5:35 PM - Printed Solid: ok.
Jun 6, 2015 5:36 PM - Bill Monroe: so 17 year old boys and 15 year old girls have the *best* time
Jun 6, 2015 5:37 PM - Bill Monroe: the largest community of Amish west of the mississippi is here in San Diego County..
Jun 6, 2015 5:37 PM - Bill Monroe: most all are here for alternative cancer treatment in Mexico.. illegal in the states
Jun 6, 2015 5:39 PM - jbigler1986: Matt what kind of deal can you give me on that refurb? Braydon still hasn't responded
Jun 6, 2015 5:43 PM - Bill Monroe: ok, time to head for home
Jun 6, 2015 5:49 PM - jbigler1986: Flying back?
Jun 6, 2015 6:35 PM - Bill Monroe: Yes
Jun 6, 2015 6:35 PM - Bill Monroe: just landed
Jun 6, 2015 7:02 PM - jbigler1986: MK you around?
Jun 6, 2015 7:13 PM - jbigler1986: The mounting part hits the x axis switch. One of the 2 needs edited

 

Jun 6, 2015 7:20 PM - Bill Monroe: I forgot how fast that plane is
Jun 6, 2015 7:20 PM - Bill Monroe: I mean, I remember it's crusining speed but dang..
Jun 6, 2015 7:21 PM - Bill Monroe: mmmmmmm 2.0 is making carne asada
Jun 6, 2015 7:25 PM - jbigler1986: Mmmmm
Jun 6, 2015 7:26 PM - Bill Monroe: on the firepit
Jun 6, 2015 7:28 PM - Bill Monroe: I dont deserve this woman
Jun 6, 2015 7:58 PM - jbigler1986: Anyone have a file for the x carriage switch?
Jun 6, 2015 7:58 PM - jbigler1986: The mounting bracket for it that is
Jun 6, 2015 8:18 PM - Mike Glass: The one on the carriage?
Jun 6, 2015 8:19 PM - Mike Glass: what are you up to JB?
Jun 6, 2015 8:19 PM - jbigler1986: yeah
Jun 6, 2015 8:20 PM - Mike Glass: is it in MK Full model on thingiverse?
Jun 6, 2015 8:20 PM - jbigler1986: that's downloading now
Jun 6, 2015 8:20 PM - Mike Glass: if it isnt I can look on my laptop I think I have it there
Jun 6, 2015 8:21 PM - Mike Glass: Did you do a new carriage?
Jun 6, 2015 8:21 PM - jbigler1986: gonna have to drill a new hole in the carriage for it. not a big deal though
Jun 6, 2015 8:22 PM - jbigler1986: no i did a new extruder design
Jun 6, 2015 8:23 PM - jbigler1986: dang it
Jun 6, 2015 8:23 PM - jbigler1986: the x carriage he has is the old one
Jun 6, 2015 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: ah thats right
Jun 6, 2015 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: even robo doesnt have the new one
Jun 6, 2015 8:24 PM - jbigler1986: might just have to design one then
Jun 6, 2015 8:24 PM - jbigler1986: super glue for now i suppose
Jun 6, 2015 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: Let me go to the office and I will see wht I have
Jun 6, 2015 8:32 PM - jbigler1986: screw it. just leaving it as is and just using the herringbone gears

Jun 7, 2015 5:16 AM - jbigler1986: Not much. Printing parts for work. You?
Jun 7, 2015 5:17 AM - Bill Monroe: breadboarding a project
Jun 7, 2015 5:22 AM - jbigler1986: Soldering. Hell yes. Love it
Jun 7, 2015 5:22 AM - Bill Monroe: no soldering yet..
Jun 7, 2015 5:22 AM - jbigler1986: Not sure why I enjoy soldering so much
Jun 7, 2015 5:22 AM - Bill Monroe: it's theraputic
Jun 7, 2015 5:23 AM - jbigler1986: That's why I like to splice and solder instead of crimping.
Jun 7, 2015 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: I like to wait until I'm happy with the design, they go straight to making a PCB
Jun 7, 2015 5:23 AM - jbigler1986: What are you making over there
Jun 7, 2015 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: soldering pins/connectors on stranded wire is bad juju
Jun 7, 2015 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: it's basically a laser speed gun for drawers
Jun 7, 2015 5:35 AM - Mike Glass: You making more soap JB
Jun 7, 2015 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: morning mike
Jun 7, 2015 5:35 AM - Mike Glass: Howdy Bill
Jun 7, 2015 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: what have we heard about Windows 10?
Jun 7, 2015 5:46 AM - Mike Glass: thats it sucks cause it still windows.
Jun 7, 2015 5:48 AM - Bill Monroe: that's kinda like saying a tricycle is better than a 2-wheeler
Jun 7, 2015 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: ack.. arduino programming takes some getting used to
Jun 7, 2015 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: LiquidCrystal requires an include file but Serial.begin does not...
Jun 7, 2015 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: <nerd mode OFF>
Jun 7, 2015 6:06 AM - jbigler1986: No Mike. Some other parts
Jun 7, 2015 6:08 AM - jbigler1986: But if someone wants to pay for parts I will print them all day.
Jun 7, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: I will print Dildo generator models all day of someone is paying for them. Lol
Jun 7, 2015 7:19 AM - Mike Kelly: Morning
Jun 7, 2015 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jun 7, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Kelly: Did the extruder fit together?
Jun 7, 2015 7:36 AM - jbigler1986: Kinda
Jun 7, 2015 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: It was very tight getting the v6 onto it. Then the x carriage switch mounting plate was in the way of using the mounting part
Jun 7, 2015 7:40 AM - jbigler1986: I moved the switch and got it mounted. Then I couldn't even push filament through. I could get it to go through if I turned the gears. But since I couldn't feed by pushing it through I didn't like that. So I went back to stock for now
Jun 7, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: Need to drill out the hole a little for the ptfe tube as well as the counterbore
Jun 7, 2015 7:43 AM - jbigler1986: Then need to find a solution for the damn x switch. Either need to print a new switch mounting bracket or need to modify the small extruder mounting piece
Jun 7, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: Hmm why do you suppose it was hard to push through
Jun 7, 2015 7:56 AM - jbigler1986: I think the ptfe tube may have had a slight angle or it was pinched where the coupling on the heatsink is
Jun 7, 2015 8:24 AM - Mike Kelly: Gotcha
Jun 7, 2015 8:31 AM - donhuevo: afternoon
Jun 7, 2015 9:24 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 7, 2015 9:25 AM - donhuevo: what's up Mike?
Jun 7, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: oh not a whole lot
Jun 7, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: just got some burritos
Jun 7, 2015 9:28 AM - Mike Kelly: nom
Jun 7, 2015 9:28 AM - donhuevo: I want one
Jun 7, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Glass: Egg burritos?
Jun 7, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: chorizo, egg, potato and red chile
Jun 7, 2015 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: and carne adovada and potato
Jun 7, 2015 9:30 AM - donhuevo: bastard
Jun 7, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: Mmm
Jun 7, 2015 9:32 AM - donhuevo: so I'm kicking around the idea of putting the two x rails in a z plane instead of y for the core xy. I think it opens up a lot of carriage design possibilities
Jun 7, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm
Jun 7, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Glass: Mendel like?
Jun 7, 2015 9:39 AM - donhuevo:
Jun 7, 2015 9:44 AM - donhuevo: easier access, easier to build z probe into the setup, easier to mount a dremel?
Jun 7, 2015 9:47 AM - Mike Glass: Oh drillin the glass could be fun
Jun 7, 2015 9:47 AM - donhuevo: exactly
Jun 7, 2015 9:49 AM - Mike Glass: Do some 470mm linear steppers
Jun 7, 2015 9:49 AM - donhuevo: 600mm
Jun 7, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Glass: Ok then 1000
Jun 7, 2015 9:52 AM - donhuevo: why not
Jun 7, 2015 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: I was thinking using the same platform as the multitool for the bap
Jun 7, 2015 9:53 AM - donhuevo:
Jun 7, 2015 9:57 AM - Mike Glass:
Jun 7, 2015 9:59 AM - Mike Glass: This is what I want to design off of.
Jun 7, 2015 9:59 AM - donhuevo: is that a coffee table?
Jun 7, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Glass: As a theater stand for 36" tv
Jun 7, 2015 10:11 AM - donhuevo: cool!
Jun 7, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Kelly: what size are you aiming for mike
Jun 7, 2015 10:13 AM - Mike Glass: 15x20 maybe
Jun 7, 2015 10:21 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
Jun 7, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: gotta love when highschoolers get an over inflated sense of self worth
Jun 7, 2015 10:34 AM - donhuevo: is an elaboration coming?
Jun 7, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: just had to get that off my chest
Jun 7, 2015 10:35 AM - donhuevo: ok then
Jun 7, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: give them an inch and they think they're a ruler
Jun 7, 2015 10:36 AM - donhuevo: it's their world and you're just living in it
Jun 7, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: lucky to be apart of their grand works
Jun 7, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: hang on, got a test to study for, the forums will have to wait!
Jun 7, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: *insert quip about how hard and busy life is as a highschooler*
Jun 7, 2015 10:38 AM - donhuevo: that's it buddy, get it all out
Jun 7, 2015 10:39 AM - donhuevo: I love it when my pharmacists call me and the first words out of their mouths is 'Hold on...'
Jun 7, 2015 10:39 AM - Mike Kelly: lmao
Jun 7, 2015 10:39 AM - Mike Kelly: "You called me"
Jun 7, 2015 10:39 AM - donhuevo: yep. New policy: Hang up.
Jun 7, 2015 10:40 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 7, 2015 10:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i like it
Jun 7, 2015 10:41 AM - donhuevo: you know it's time for a vacation when you've accrued more pet peeves than you can count
Jun 7, 2015 10:44 AM - Mike Kelly: Heh totally
Jun 7, 2015 10:44 AM - Mike Kelly: When's the last time you had one
Jun 7, 2015 10:45 AM - donhuevo: I was actually looking forward to the back surgery because the recovery was going to be a vacation. It got cut short. I was working from bed within a week
Jun 7, 2015 10:46 AM - donhuevo: an official vacation at a far off destination? 10 years at least
Jun 7, 2015 11:24 AM - jbigler1986: MK you around
Jun 7, 2015 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: Poopnap
Jun 7, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: ouch don
Jun 7, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm around-ish
Jun 7, 2015 12:43 PM - Robb: So im in the process of changing over to the lead screws... can i not just change the whole nama motor to the new one?
Jun 7, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: yes

 

Jun 7, 2015 12:44 PM - Robb: ok cool. Do they run at the same speed? Also do i need to update the firmware?
Jun 7, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: need to change the Z steps
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: to the m8 firmware?
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: what do the z steps need to be?
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: nope
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: and what line of code should i look for
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: depends on your rods
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: thanks as always mike
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: just search for step
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Screw-Stepper-Printer-RepRap/dp/B00JTSEFQY
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: in configuration.h
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: ok
Jun 7, 2015 12:45 PM - Robb: what should i set the steps to?
Jun 7, 2015 12:46 PM - Mike Kelly: http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/
Jun 7, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: actually that calculator doesn't have 8mm thread pitch
Jun 7, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: and the answer to your question is defined in the questions on that page
Jun 7, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: does JB have that info in the forums
Jun 7, 2015 12:48 PM - Robb: DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2267.72,781.25} // default steps per unit for RoBo 3D R1
Jun 7, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Kelly: (the answers 400 but I think it's important to understand where that number comes from)
Jun 7, 2015 12:48 PM - Robb: so change that line? sorry
Jun 7, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Kelly: yup that's it
Jun 7, 2015 12:50 PM - Mike Glass: Mike, I have remodeled my caddy to fit beer glasses now. need to run to town to get more wood for beta cutting.
Jun 7, 2015 12:50 PM - Mike Kelly: sweetness
Jun 7, 2015 12:50 PM - Robb: ok so im trying to figure out the steps. What is the microstepping value?
Jun 7, 2015 12:52 PM - Robb: yep totally lost on how to calculate that
Jun 7, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: 1/16
Jun 7, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: that's a pre defined value
Jun 7, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: I also running the tabs all the way through, that way if I have different wood on the sides it will accent it.
Jun 7, 2015 12:53 PM - Robb: So that would give me 400 steps
Jun 7, 2015 12:54 PM - Robb: 200x16=3200 steps/rev divided by 8 ... equals 400
Jun 7, 2015 12:54 PM - Robb: and i replace 2267.72 with the new valve which is 400?
Jun 7, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Glass: sounds right to me
Jun 7, 2015 12:56 PM - jbigler1986: Robb which ones did you get
Jun 7, 2015 12:56 PM - Mike Glass: same ones you got jb
Jun 7, 2015 12:56 PM - jbigler1986: If it's the ones from Amazon z steps is 400
Jun 7, 2015 12:57 PM - Robb: http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Screw-Stepper-Printer-RepRap/dp/B00JTSEFQY
Jun 7, 2015 12:57 PM - Robb: yep amazon
Jun 7, 2015 12:57 PM - Mike Glass: you have to rewire the end though, they will not plug directly in
Jun 7, 2015 12:57 PM - jbigler1986: Sorry I haven't been around
Jun 7, 2015 12:57 PM - Robb: is the old value 2267.72 - seems odd
Jun 7, 2015 12:57 PM - Robb: no worries man
Jun 7, 2015 12:58 PM - Robb: yep wiring it now
Jun 7, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: No rewiring. You take the rods out of the new ones and put them in the old ones
Jun 7, 2015 12:58 PM - Mike Glass: You dont have too.
Jun 7, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: Leave the wiring as is
Jun 7, 2015 12:59 PM - jbigler1986: Well if you manage to get it wired and working. Me and SC had no success that way
Jun 7, 2015 12:59 PM - Mike Glass: you just have to swap two wires.
Jun 7, 2015 12:59 PM - Mike Glass: make sure you calibrate the voltage on the driver as well
Jun 7, 2015 1:00 PM - jbigler1986: X stepper wiring worked plug and play. Z wiring was not the same
Jun 7, 2015 1:00 PM - Mike Glass: Yep, thats why you have to swap some wires around
Jun 7, 2015 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: Or just swap rods and be done. Take way less time
Jun 7, 2015 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: No need to tune voltage or anything
Jun 7, 2015 1:01 PM - Robb: i tried swaping the rods but my new ones didnt fity
Jun 7, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: How so?
Jun 7, 2015 1:02 PM - Robb: the hole on the top plate of the old motor was too small for the new rod to fit through
Jun 7, 2015 1:02 PM - Mike Glass: you have to use the old bearings I believe
Jun 7, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
Jun 7, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: Use the old top bearing and the new bottom bearing
Jun 7, 2015 1:03 PM - Robb: the actual hole wont fit the new rod
Jun 7, 2015 1:04 PM - Mike Glass: only problem with swapping, it may be harder to get an rma
Jun 7, 2015 1:05 PM - jbigler1986: Shouldn't be a reason to
Jun 7, 2015 1:05 PM - Mike Glass: well if they were doa or something, not sure if they have sticker seals or not
Jun 7, 2015 1:05 PM - jbigler1986: If you manage to get the wiring working on the new steppers more power to you
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: They don't have a seal or anything
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - Robb: was the hold on the top of the old motor big enough to get the rod through
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: Yrs
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - Robb: i wonder if i have different old motors
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: Is it way off?
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - Mike Glass: new robo or older
Jun 7, 2015 1:06 PM - Robb: old
Jun 7, 2015 1:07 PM - Robb: may 2014
Jun 7, 2015 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: aww
Jun 7, 2015 1:07 PM - Robb: so what do i need to do with the voltage on the new motors? how do i adjust
Jun 7, 2015 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: that could be a possiblity
Jun 7, 2015 1:07 PM - Mike Glass: You dont have to, its just good practice
Jun 7, 2015 1:08 PM - Mike Glass: less chance of burning up the steppers if you voltage is correct
Jun 7, 2015 1:08 PM - jbigler1986: If you manage to get the new ones wired up and working I would like to know how. I didn't use a multimeter or anything. Was to tired at that point
Jun 7, 2015 1:09 PM - Mike Glass: Do they have a schematic with those you can show?
Jun 7, 2015 1:09 PM - jbigler1986: The new ones?
Jun 7, 2015 1:09 PM - Robb: So how do i adjust the voltage?
Jun 7, 2015 1:10 PM - Robb: no schematic
Jun 7, 2015 1:10 PM - Mike Glass: yes on the new ones
Jun 7, 2015 1:10 PM - jbigler1986: Do you have them working? Do they make a grinding type noise?
Jun 7, 2015 1:11 PM - Mike Glass: you need a multimeter, place one on the ground pin of the driver and another on the screwdrivers slot.
Jun 7, 2015 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: This is one reason I just swapped the rods. How much bigger does the hole need to be for the new rods to fit?
Jun 7, 2015 1:14 PM - Robb: have a multimeter - check but no idea where the ground pin on the driver is or where the screwdiver slot it
Jun 7, 2015 1:14 PM - Robb: i could drill it out but the entire motor is a different size
Jun 7, 2015 1:14 PM - Robb: the height..
Jun 7, 2015 1:14 PM - Robb: old motor is taller than new motor
Jun 7, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Glass: http://reprap.org/wiki/Pololu_stepper_driver_board
Jun 7, 2015 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: Yes. The old motor is a little taller. Not an issue
Jun 7, 2015 1:15 PM - Robb: http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/..._checking.jpg/800px-Pololu_v-ref_checking.jpg
Jun 7, 2015 1:15 PM - Robb: so i guess i could drill out the old motor top hole to be bigger
Jun 7, 2015 1:16 PM - Robb: maybe 3mm
Jun 7, 2015 1:16 PM - Robb: Mike Glass - what would i need to check with the multimeter?
Jun 7, 2015 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. Make it so the new rod just barely fits. I mean barely
Jun 7, 2015 1:17 PM - jbigler1986: Then you don't have to worry about changing any wiring or voltage or anything like that
Jun 7, 2015 1:17 PM - Mike Kelly: ok got a phone call
Jun 7, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: everything sorted?

 

Jun 7, 2015 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: Not yet
Jun 7, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Kelly: lemme read over what i missed
Jun 7, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: I wish you had a diagram then I could tell you what wires to switch
Jun 7, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: MK do you have a file for the new x carriage? Or is it the same minus the mount for the bolt
Jun 7, 2015 1:19 PM - Robb: i dont care to wire up the new ones... but the voltage thing i have no idea about
Jun 7, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't have that file no, i think that's the only difference
Jun 7, 2015 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: K. I will just edit it and remove it. Do you have a file for the x switch mount?
Jun 7, 2015 1:20 PM - Mike Glass: you want your voltage around .47 .50 volts, MK can probably confirm
Jun 7, 2015 1:21 PM - Robb: and the screw would adjust that?
Jun 7, 2015 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: Just swap the rods man. Life will be so much easier
Jun 7, 2015 1:21 PM - Robb: im trying to drill the hole bigger now
Jun 7, 2015 1:22 PM - Mike Glass: yes
Jun 7, 2015 1:22 PM - Mike Glass: If voltage is too high it can cause skipping.
Jun 7, 2015 1:24 PM - Mike Glass: and microstepping works best at these voltages, but this would only work for the z as it has two steppers.
Jun 7, 2015 1:24 PM - jbigler1986: There is probably a reason why the z steppers are wired directly to the cores instead of having a connector.
Jun 7, 2015 1:25 PM - Robb: i was able to drill the hole bigger
Jun 7, 2015 1:25 PM - Robb: looks like that might work... i'm just going to make sure none of the scraps are left in there
Jun 7, 2015 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: Awesome
Jun 7, 2015 1:27 PM - Mike Glass: do those have a 6 pin plug on the stepper side?
Jun 7, 2015 1:27 PM - Robb: 4
Jun 7, 2015 1:27 PM - Robb: nope 6
Jun 7, 2015 1:28 PM - Robb: you are right
Jun 7, 2015 1:28 PM - Robb: the old ones have 4 wires hard wired... the new one has a 6 pin plug but only 4 wires
Jun 7, 2015 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
Jun 7, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Glass: ok thats what I thought.
Jun 7, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Kelly: snap
Jun 7, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Glass: oops
Jun 7, 2015 1:29 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 7, 2015 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: Lucky that didn't catch on fire
Jun 7, 2015 1:33 PM - Robb:
Jun 7, 2015 1:33 PM - Robb: http://postimg.org/image/g0fryyz9b/
Jun 7, 2015 1:33 PM - Robb: i dont think this is going to work
Jun 7, 2015 1:34 PM - Mike Glass: get a bigger hammer
Jun 7, 2015 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: Pretty sure that how mine was.
Jun 7, 2015 1:35 PM - Mike Glass: his stock ones are the older bigger steppers
Jun 7, 2015 1:35 PM - Robb: yeah im going to have to swap motors
Jun 7, 2015 1:35 PM - Robb: it slides all around in the old motors
Jun 7, 2015 1:35 PM - jbigler1986: The gear on mine old stepper was bigger than the new one too
Jun 7, 2015 1:35 PM - jbigler1986: Just use a spacer
Jun 7, 2015 1:36 PM - Robb: looks like im breaking out the multi meter
Jun 7, 2015 1:36 PM - Mike Glass: Jb show him a picture of you old stepper to confirm
Jun 7, 2015 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: Or add another bearing or 2
Jun 7, 2015 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: Give me a sec
Jun 7, 2015 1:39 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 7, 2015 1:39 PM - jbigler1986: That's what came out of the old stepper
Jun 7, 2015 1:39 PM - jbigler1986: Use the bottom cover from the new stepper and the top cover from the older stepper. Once you get the top and bottom on they don't move
Jun 7, 2015 1:40 PM - Mike Glass: looks like the same one
Jun 7, 2015 1:40 PM - Mike Glass: is that bearing pressed on JB or does it come off
Jun 7, 2015 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: It's pressed on
Jun 7, 2015 1:42 PM - Mike Glass: but it could come off with a press?
Jun 7, 2015 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe. Not necessary though
Jun 7, 2015 1:46 PM - Robb: ok im just going to use the new motors... do i need to have the power all the way on when changing the volage or just connected over USB
Jun 7, 2015 1:48 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 7, 2015 1:48 PM - jbigler1986: did you get that bearing out of the new stepper?
Jun 7, 2015 1:48 PM - Mike Kelly: always* completely disconnect your power when making a connection
Jun 7, 2015 1:50 PM - Robb: MK when i'm taking a reading with my multimeter on the z axis steeper motor voltage does the 120v power need to be on or just the USB?
Jun 7, 2015 1:50 PM - Mike Kelly: the power supply needs to be on yes
Jun 7, 2015 1:51 PM - Robb: and adjust to be at .50 Volts?
Jun 7, 2015 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i think 'dumb' calibration is better
Jun 7, 2015 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: i know that 3 of us now have swapped rods. Before you get them installed completly you can press down on the rod and you will be able to press it down a little. once you get it complely installed they don't budge. 3 of us have swapped them without any issues. i'm about 2 months or so into mine
Jun 7, 2015 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: send a bunch of G1 Z210 then G1 Z10 commands making the printer go back up and down
Jun 7, 2015 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: while it's doing that lower the potentiometer until it stalls out
Jun 7, 2015 1:53 PM - Mike Kelly: then raise up the current just above that so it moves smoothly
Jun 7, 2015 1:54 PM - Robb: ok
Jun 7, 2015 1:54 PM - Robb: ill give that a shot
Jun 7, 2015 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: i don't think it's a voltage thing. Although it may be.
Jun 7, 2015 1:54 PM - Robb: is that better than using a multimeter?
Jun 7, 2015 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: I'm telling you the new rods will work in the old stepper
Jun 7, 2015 1:56 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't know the value off hand and it's generally not necessary nor ideal to use some calculated voltage
Jun 7, 2015 1:57 PM - Robb: JB - im already all wired up with the new ones
Jun 7, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: wtf. so some of pictures don't work on my thread. here is one of the url's. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/V...uY4g7E5CxdcF7czJ8OC817WTbewSjQ6TQk=w1236-h583
Jun 7, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: do the steppers work? what sound do they make?
Jun 7, 2015 1:57 PM - Robb: MK - do you think i even need to do the 'dumb' calibration? Or would it be good as is?
Jun 7, 2015 1:57 PM - Mike Kelly: reupload it to imager
Jun 7, 2015 1:57 PM - Mike Kelly: robb if they work they work
Jun 7, 2015 1:59 PM - jbigler1986: i'm thinking they are working like they were for me which is why i went the swapping rod route
Jun 7, 2015 2:00 PM - Stephen Capistron: You just are not going to get those sainsmart steppers to work on the z axis
Jun 7, 2015 2:01 PM - jbigler1986: preaching to the choir
Jun 7, 2015 2:01 PM - Robb: JB - your photo link doesnt work
Jun 7, 2015 2:01 PM - Stephen Capistron: You have to just swap in the core from the integrated stepper into the coil winding of the existing. I burned up two drivers trying to get them to work
Jun 7, 2015 2:02 PM - jbigler1986: SC i believe has some pics too
Jun 7, 2015 2:03 PM - Robb: JB how did you get the bearings off the old core? i would need to use them as a spacer in that case but i cant get them off
Jun 7, 2015 2:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: I know I have them, no idea where though
Jun 7, 2015 2:03 PM - jbigler1986: do you have a pic of the new rod in the old stepper?
Jun 7, 2015 2:04 PM - jbigler1986: let me check my pm. i think you sent them to me
Jun 7, 2015 2:04 PM - Mike Glass: I think you have to change the 6 pin plug wires for it to work properly SC
Jun 7, 2015 2:04 PM - Robb: MG what do you need to change on the 6 pin?
Jun 7, 2015 2:05 PM - jbigler1986:

Jun 7, 2015 2:06 PM - Robb: See in that pictue you must have a spacer at the bottom
Jun 7, 2015 2:07 PM - jbigler1986: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WKdD5JG-FZ8XYJyZXt6aVOjK5RPSv8xCZA/view?pli=1
Jun 7, 2015 2:07 PM - Mike Kelly: how do you spose the lead screw is held in place JB
Jun 7, 2015 2:08 PM - Mike Glass: I wish I know, I dont have a source for the specs, but im betting they are swapped in the middle two on the 4 connector.
Jun 7, 2015 2:10 PM - Mike Glass: im not sure that anybody tried it or not, but not 100% this is the actual one you have.
Jun 7, 2015 2:11 PM - Mike Glass: never plug anyting or remove when it is on you will burn up drivers
Jun 7, 2015 2:11 PM - Robb: So you think the middle 2 wires need to be reversed?
Jun 7, 2015 2:11 PM - Mike Kelly: true story
Jun 7, 2015 2:11 PM - Mike Glass: If you can confirm this is your stepper then yeehaw
Jun 7, 2015 2:12 PM - Robb: i haven't plugged it in yet so i could try swapping the wires before

 

Jun 7, 2015 2:12 PM - Robb: its the blue and black wires
Jun 7, 2015 2:13 PM - Mike Glass: red,blue - black,yellow?
Jun 7, 2015 2:13 PM - Robb: Red Black Blue Green
Jun 7, 2015 2:13 PM - Robb: is what i have
Jun 7, 2015 2:14 PM - jbigler1986: I swapped the middle 2 wires. Didn't help
Jun 7, 2015 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: guess that doesnt matter
Jun 7, 2015 2:14 PM - Mike Glass: hmm a stepper is a stepper there has got to be a way.
Jun 7, 2015 2:15 PM - jbigler1986: Did the same exact thing. If I wasn't printing stuff right now I would take it apart and show you how it's installed
Jun 7, 2015 2:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: Bipolar v unipolar?
Jun 7, 2015 2:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: That is a WAG
Jun 7, 2015 2:15 PM - jbigler1986: That's what I was thinking Stephen
Jun 7, 2015 2:18 PM - Mike Glass: do you think these would run upside down, I wouldnt think they would but..
Jun 7, 2015 2:21 PM - Robb: JB what did you use as a spacer
Jun 7, 2015 2:21 PM - jbigler1986: Once you get the covers on its snugg and not going anywhere. The bottom cover holds the bottom bearing in place
Jun 7, 2015 2:22 PM - jbigler1986: I did not use any spacer
Jun 7, 2015 2:22 PM - jbigler1986: Just the 2 bearings that came with it
Jun 7, 2015 2:22 PM - Robb: ok im going to try one more time
Jun 7, 2015 2:22 PM - Stephen Capistron: I don't think those will work well upside down
Jun 7, 2015 2:23 PM - Mike Kelly: they're meant for those slotted rails
Jun 7, 2015 2:23 PM - Stephen Capistron: Fully supported shaft
Jun 7, 2015 2:24 PM - jbigler1986: SC did you use a spacer?
Jun 7, 2015 2:26 PM - Stephen Capistron: I know I used the bottom from the original on one side and the new on on another. Then once I righted the ship I noticed one side had some vertical play in it. Printed okay, but was a disaster waiting to happen so I made it so both sides were the same
Jun 7, 2015 2:26 PM - Stephen Capistron: I just don't remember which way to go
Jun 7, 2015 2:27 PM - Robb: SC i have tried it both ways and i get the vertical play
Jun 7, 2015 2:27 PM - Mike Glass: so what bearings. slides would work upside down
Jun 7, 2015 2:27 PM - jbigler1986: yeah there was a little play. I have had 0 issues though
Jun 7, 2015 2:28 PM - jbigler1986: press it all the way down. so you can't press it down anymore. you will have 0 issues. I haven't had any at all and been using it for a few months
Jun 7, 2015 2:29 PM - Robb:
Jun 7, 2015 2:29 PM - jbigler1986: I did bottom from new stepper on the bottom of the old stepper. then left the top from the old stepper on the top
Jun 7, 2015 2:29 PM - Robb: there is the video of the play i have in the stepper using the old motor
Jun 7, 2015 2:30 PM - jbigler1986: use the new stepper bottom cover
Jun 7, 2015 2:30 PM - jbigler1986: for the bottom
Jun 7, 2015 2:31 PM - Stephen Capistron: Regular lm8uu will be fine
Jun 7, 2015 2:31 PM - jbigler1986: the force on the threaded rod is always pressing it down. it won't be pulling it up
Jun 7, 2015 2:32 PM - Stephen Capistron: JB is on the right track. When you tip her back over just push down good on each shaft so they are as far down in there as possible
Jun 7, 2015 2:32 PM - Stephen Capistron: Gravity us a bitch, and you want her working with you
Jun 7, 2015 2:33 PM - Robb:
Jun 7, 2015 2:34 PM - Robb: ok so it looks like the wiring on the new motor is completly flipped
Jun 7, 2015 2:34 PM - Robb: new on left
Jun 7, 2015 2:34 PM - jbigler1986: just swap rods
Jun 7, 2015 2:34 PM - Robb: i dont like that it is loose
Jun 7, 2015 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: trust me. it will not cause any issues.
Jun 7, 2015 2:35 PM - jbigler1986: print a spacer afterwards and that will solve it
Jun 7, 2015 2:35 PM - Stephen Capistron: I would not fully trust the coloring of the wires
Jun 7, 2015 2:36 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah the coloring doesn't matter really
Jun 7, 2015 2:36 PM - Robb: SC i can see where they are soldered on the motor.
Jun 7, 2015 2:36 PM - jbigler1986: swap the rods and you will be printing again in the next hour
Jun 7, 2015 2:36 PM - jbigler1986: then you will ask why you didn't do it sooner
Jun 7, 2015 2:36 PM - Robb: you need to flip the harness but it wont go in that way
Jun 7, 2015 2:37 PM - Stephen Capistron: Print a spacer or return them and order from OMC-stepperonline
Jun 7, 2015 2:37 PM - Mike Kelly: or robotdigg
Jun 7, 2015 2:37 PM - toy: http://i.imgur.com/uzoAyTT.jpg
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: robotdigg shipping is to expensive for my liking
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - Mike Kelly: so is omc-stepperonline
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: haven't checked theres
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - Mike Kelly: how do you tram your bed toy
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: theirs
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - Mike Kelly: it's basically $30 as well
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - Stephen Capistron: Yup. That's why I went insane trying the sainsmart
Jun 7, 2015 2:38 PM - toy: lol... shims
Jun 7, 2015 2:39 PM - toy: but im gonna replace the whole y - axis
Jun 7, 2015 2:39 PM - toy: linear acuator
Jun 7, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Kelly: lmao
Jun 7, 2015 2:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: I can be penny wise and pound foolish a bit
Jun 7, 2015 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm gonna try and pick up a bunch of stuff from robotdigg to help offset the shipping cost
Jun 7, 2015 2:41 PM - toy: maybe this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/KR4610A-440...657?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c977b71a1
Jun 7, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: i hope that's a joke
Jun 7, 2015 2:41 PM - Stephen Capistron: Might be worth emailing and asking about a minimum order to get free shipping
Jun 7, 2015 2:42 PM - jbigler1986: robb just swap rods do a test print and you will notice the difference
Jun 7, 2015 2:43 PM - Stephen Capistron: ^ and be happy
Jun 7, 2015 2:44 PM - Stephen Capistron: So I found a k type thermocouple kicking around, should I order the board so I can use it on the hot end?
Jun 7, 2015 2:44 PM - Robb: lol.... so i started it up with the new motors
Jun 7, 2015 2:44 PM - Robb: and when i go to move the z axis the motors hum but dont spin
Jun 7, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: yes stephen you should
Jun 7, 2015 2:44 PM - Robb: is that what you guys had
Jun 7, 2015 2:45 PM - jbigler1986: yep
Jun 7, 2015 2:45 PM - Robb: or does that mean i need to up or lower my voltage
Jun 7, 2015 2:45 PM - jbigler1986: or spin and sound terrible
Jun 7, 2015 2:45 PM - toy: mike which noctura fan was it?
Jun 7, 2015 2:45 PM - Robb: they dont spin at all and just hum
Jun 7, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: he said or
Jun 7, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: increase voltage
Jun 7, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Glass: 21 gigawatts wasn't it
Jun 7, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Glass: er jiga
Jun 7, 2015 2:47 PM - toy: http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A4-40mm-10mm-5-Volt/dp/B00NEMGCIA this fan or a 60mm?
Jun 7, 2015 2:47 PM - jbigler1986: one direction it would spin and sound terrible. the other direction it wouldn't spinn and just sound terrible
Jun 7, 2015 2:48 PM - Robb: they just buzz
Jun 7, 2015 2:48 PM - Robb: and dont spin
Jun 7, 2015 2:49 PM - Robb: so i guess i will try the old motor with it a little loose
Jun 7, 2015 2:50 PM - jbigler1986: and u will be happy
Jun 7, 2015 2:51 PM - Mike Glass: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ |
Jun 7, 2015 2:56 PM - Stephen Capistron: MG, have you seen the Star Wars in ASCII on you tube?
Jun 7, 2015 2:56 PM - Mike Glass: yea I was the one that posted it last week
Jun 7, 2015 2:57 PM - Stephen Capistron: Ok, I shouldn't be surprised by that
Jun 7, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Glass: I thought it was crazy, but fun
Jun 7, 2015 2:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: That was a ton of effort for that
Jun 7, 2015 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: doesn't that work in the command prompt
Jun 7, 2015 3:01 PM - Mike Kelly: or maybe on macs in terminal
Jun 7, 2015 3:02 PM - Mike Glass:

Jun 7, 2015 3:04 PM - Mike Glass: I like the first comment: Waaay too much time on their hands...way too much time.
Jun 7, 2015 3:09 PM - Mike Glass: haha it still works
Jun 7, 2015 3:20 PM - Mike Kelly: suggestions for software for screen capture?
Jun 7, 2015 3:20 PM - Mike Glass: windows snaggit thats built in
Jun 7, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Glass: err snipping tool
Jun 7, 2015 3:22 PM - Stephen Capistron: Snipping tool is the poop
Jun 7, 2015 3:22 PM - Mike Glass: use it everyday
Jun 7, 2015 3:26 PM - jbigler1986: Same. Use it all of the time as well
Jun 7, 2015 3:41 PM - Droid: cant remember if I ran a fan with t-glase, I dont think I did
Jun 7, 2015 3:42 PM - Droid: knew I shoulda wrote down those settings
Jun 7, 2015 3:43 PM - Mike Glass: I do, It produces more clearity when I use a fan
Jun 7, 2015 4:07 PM - Mike Kelly: for videos
Jun 7, 2015 4:07 PM - Robb: ok guys im back
Jun 7, 2015 4:08 PM - Robb: totally hooked up and running now
Jun 7, 2015 4:08 PM - Robb: working great except my z axis wont do down now
Jun 7, 2015 4:09 PM - Robb: any ideas?
Jun 7, 2015 4:17 PM - Mike Kelly: if you flip the connector 180 can you get it to go up?
Jun 7, 2015 4:19 PM - Robb: im using the old motors hard wired in
Jun 7, 2015 4:19 PM - Robb: switched the rods like JB suggested
Jun 7, 2015 4:20 PM - Robb: it goes up but not down... but it does seem to skip as it goes up.. so i assume that is voltage
Jun 7, 2015 4:20 PM - jbigler1986: Shouldn't have to change the voltage
Jun 7, 2015 4:21 PM - Robb: it isnt going up very well.. skipping...
Jun 7, 2015 4:21 PM - Robb: and it isnt going down at all
Jun 7, 2015 4:21 PM - jbigler1986: Wiring issue maybe
Jun 7, 2015 4:22 PM - jbigler1986: It should work just like before
Jun 7, 2015 4:22 PM - jbigler1986: Enable stepper always on in the firmware
Jun 7, 2015 4:22 PM - jbigler1986: It should be at (false) change it to (true)
Jun 7, 2015 4:23 PM - Mike Kelly: did you flip the connector to see where the wiring is coming from?
Jun 7, 2015 4:23 PM - Mike Kelly: issue*
Jun 7, 2015 4:23 PM - Robb: i did on the new motors and that didnt work
Jun 7, 2015 4:23 PM - Robb: so i went back to the old motors and wired it up exactly like before
Jun 7, 2015 4:24 PM - Robb: just changed the rods
Jun 7, 2015 4:24 PM - Robb: cant find stepper always on
Jun 7, 2015 4:24 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't think you're understanding what i'm trying to accomplish here
Jun 7, 2015 4:25 PM - Robb: sorry mike... are you talking about where the steppers connect to the ramps
Jun 7, 2015 4:25 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
Jun 7, 2015 4:25 PM - Mike Kelly: if you swap the connector orientation and it's able to go down but not up it means there's a loose connection in the wiring
Jun 7, 2015 4:25 PM - Robb: ok let me flip thos
Jun 7, 2015 4:25 PM - jbigler1986: Gotta be wiring. No reason the rods would cause it not to work
Jun 7, 2015 4:27 PM - Robb: yep that worked
Jun 7, 2015 4:27 PM - Robb: so ive got a wire messed up
Jun 7, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
Jun 7, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Kelly: is this both motors or just one
Jun 7, 2015 4:29 PM - Robb: both
Jun 7, 2015 4:29 PM - Robb: strange that it is both
Jun 7, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Kelly: agreed
Jun 7, 2015 4:31 PM - toy: how many servos can the ramps board control
Jun 7, 2015 4:31 PM - Robb: could it be my stepper driver?
Jun 7, 2015 4:33 PM - Robb: wring looks good
Jun 7, 2015 4:33 PM - Robb: wiring
Jun 7, 2015 4:33 PM - Mike Kelly: well the ramps natively has 4 servo ports
Jun 7, 2015 4:33 PM - Mike Kelly: but you can add more to other pins
Jun 7, 2015 4:33 PM - Mike Kelly: uh robb it could be, try plugging one into the X axis and move that
Jun 7, 2015 4:34 PM - toy: can it support addition steppers ?
Jun 7, 2015 4:35 PM - toy: or is 5 it?
Jun 7, 2015 4:37 PM - Robb: nope its the wiring somehow
Jun 7, 2015 4:37 PM - toy: i was thinking about mounting a hotend to a servo and have it rotate out of the way when not printing
Jun 7, 2015 4:43 PM - Robb: extruder wont move in either direction
Jun 7, 2015 4:43 PM - jbigler1986: What did you do. Lol
Jun 7, 2015 4:43 PM - Robb: no idea
Jun 7, 2015 4:44 PM - toy: cold extrusion prevented?
Jun 7, 2015 4:45 PM - Robb: nailed it toy
Jun 7, 2015 4:45 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 7, 2015 4:45 PM - Robb: i was over here freaking out
Jun 7, 2015 4:45 PM - Robb: but still steppers wont go down
Jun 7, 2015 4:45 PM - Robb: on the Z axis....
Jun 7, 2015 4:49 PM - Mike Kelly: so even when plugged into X it won't move/
Jun 7, 2015 4:50 PM - Robb: correct wont go down... but if i flip the clip and press up it goes down
Jun 7, 2015 4:50 PM - Robb: so somewhere on both motors I wired it bad
Jun 7, 2015 4:51 PM - jbigler1986: sounds like you accidentally reversed a wire
Jun 7, 2015 4:52 PM - Mike Kelly: well the two pairs don't have a polarity but if he crossed the polarity it wouldn't work at all
Jun 7, 2015 4:52 PM - Robb: i checked and everything matches.... no idea.. and i heat shrinked all my connections
Jun 7, 2015 4:53 PM - Robb: looks like i will be pealing back all the heat shrink and redoing to connections
Jun 7, 2015 4:55 PM - jbigler1986: don't worry. i soldered the new stepper wires at first too. then i had to redo the old stepper. i know how it is
Jun 7, 2015 4:56 PM - toy: i ordered this one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608032
Jun 7, 2015 4:56 PM - jbigler1986: MK do you have the x switch mount file? sorry if you answered that earlier
Jun 7, 2015 4:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i sure don't
Jun 7, 2015 4:57 PM - Mike Kelly: need to pull it off and model it
Jun 7, 2015 4:58 PM - jbigler1986: those hookers. i removed the mount for the bolt on the carriage
Jun 7, 2015 4:58 PM - jbigler1986: printed some bearings that work really good
Jun 7, 2015 4:59 PM - Mike Kelly: which kind
Jun 7, 2015 5:00 PM - jbigler1986: i printed a plate that had 14 different ones. most didn't fit good. 2 were really good. printed 4 of each of those 2
Jun 7, 2015 5:00 PM - Mike Kelly: wow
Jun 7, 2015 5:00 PM - jbigler1986: LM8UU
Jun 7, 2015 5:01 PM - Mike Kelly: bushings you mean then
Jun 7, 2015 5:01 PM - jbigler1986: yeah. u know
Jun 7, 2015 5:04 PM - toy: how many teeth on the robo x-axis stepper pulley?
Jun 7, 2015 5:10 PM - toy: its 20 btw, and i assumed my pulley's were 20 also... not
Jun 7, 2015 5:13 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 7, 2015 5:23 PM - Robb: does amazon have any nama 17 motors like the stock one... need to get 2 overnighted... looks like when i cut the wires i cut them so short i can't get them connected back
Jun 7, 2015 5:23 PM - Robb: need to overnight 2 motors
Jun 7, 2015 5:23 PM - Robb: would these work http://www.amazon.com/Stepper-Motor...&qid=1433723087&sr=8-1&keywords=nema+17+motor
Jun 7, 2015 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: Those look fine
Jun 7, 2015 5:32 PM - Robb: lets hope so... overnighting 2
Jun 7, 2015 5:39 PM - Robb: they say 2 amps... does that match the stock?
Jun 7, 2015 5:43 PM - jbigler1986: No clue. MK would be the one to answer that
Jun 7, 2015 5:43 PM - Mike Kelly: those are fine
Jun 7, 2015 5:44 PM - Robb: Thanks guys... had i just listened in the first place i wouldn't be here... They will be here tuesday and i'll swap out the rods and wire them up
Jun 7, 2015 5:48 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.amazon.com/10PCS-Phase-s...sim_421_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1WACDJR6XDPC5MCVAKXE adorable
Jun 7, 2015 5:49 PM - Droid: are 350mm leadscrew steepers to long?
