Mar 12, 2015 at 10:21 AM - Ben R: Mk is running 24v bed at least
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Ben R: Not a whole lotta need for 24v nozzle unless youre pushing huge wet vume... Ehem
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Ben R: Volume not vume
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Mike Glass: 1.2 mm nozzle would be nice to have the power
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Mike Glass: specially if you go over that. I think the volcano will go to 1.5mm
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Ben R: Yup... Some filaments draw more power due to specific heat
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Ben R: Not hugely different yet... Yet
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Mike Glass: I never go over 80 on my bed so not a concern there.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Ben R: I bet those conductive filaments can hold a lot of heat
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:24 AM - TechSupportGo: skull was a huge success, printing bigger and faster!!! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/robo-3d-r1-live-techsupportgo
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: Mostly print abs, but looking at going beyond my .8 nozzle.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Ben R: No... No reason.. But if mk is at 24v on bed... Is he also on nozzle?
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:25 AM - Mike Glass: nope, dont think he is on the bed either.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:25 AM - Ben R: Pic of completed "huge success?
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:25 AM - TechSupportGo: annnnnnd go
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Ben R: If it wasnt him... Someone in here the other night talking to 1986 was...
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Mike Glass: Yo Tech
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Ben R: Though it was mike. "Im on 24v i could probably run at 200 easily". Er... Maybe he laughed at it
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Mike Glass: as long as you remove the connectors
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Mike Glass: else smoke
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: He said the highest he ever set his to was 170
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:28 AM - Mike Glass: thats insane, your robo plastics woould start warping
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:28 AM - jbigler1986: Idk if he left it at the temp or just set to that then dropped it back down
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:29 AM - Ben R: Yea he's on 24v
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:29 AM - Ben R: He's not running robo's heater
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:30 AM - Mike Glass: is that on his printer page?
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:30 AM - Ben R: Yea
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:30 AM - Ben R: And various other references. Didnt check age... But is/was
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:32 AM - jbigler1986: Tech do you have a picture of how your print turned out last night
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Mike Glass: must be running a separate power supply then.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Ben R:
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Ben R: Pix or it didnt happen
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Ben R: Says he runs a 24v
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Ben R: With a loud fan
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Ben R: I was thinking of it. Just cuz i have it available collecting dust
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:33 AM - jbigler1986: Looks like you slowed down Tech
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Glass: way slower..
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:35 AM - jbigler1986: MG. That guy responded and said he can't get to his old files until this weekend. So he says
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Ben R: Wanted to see this success. I just posted in troubleshooting about my massive failure
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Glass: Dont matter now, I have what I need.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:36 AM - TechSupportGo: it was at 3900 I put it at 3600 and increased quality to 2. The print I am about to show you was at 3900 with 3 layer height.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:39 AM - jbigler1986: MG what is the tool holder design you guys are working on?
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:42 AM - TechSupportGo: it is only about 3 inches across https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FWeUGKaHaxbE03SGhlOG9jWDQ/view?usp=sharing
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:43 AM - TechSupportGo: fully operational
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:48 AM - Ben R: well... just about there
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:48 AM - Ben R: quite usable
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:49 AM - Ben R: actually... i cant judge the anomalies... so... nm
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Ben R: and that prints in multiple pieces?
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Glass: JB its one that sits on the top side of the robo, Mikes new extruder plate I wanted to make it a tool holder for the other side.
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:59 AM - jbigler1986: Are you going to drill into the case finally?
Mar 12, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Mike Glass: nop it sits on the top
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:00 AM - Mike Glass: so probably 2 sided tape or velcro
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:01 AM - jbigler1986: How big are you making it?
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:02 AM - jbigler1986: You could make one that attaches to the side using the case screws. Would just need longer screws
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Glass: I will make one for the spool holder and one for the top of the robo.
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: awesome
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: going though tutorials right now
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: bigler
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: drill from the bottom
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:07 AM - jbigler1986: I did
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think you're understanding it
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Kelly: oh ok
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Kelly: so you figured out what i meant?
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: Not of the 7mm part no
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Kelly: so did you drill out the 11/64?
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Kelly: in the filament channel
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: I couldn't see the recessed part
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:13 AM - jbigler1986: Yes
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Kelly: you make the recessed part
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Kelly: that's the whole point
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/7vT06RL
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:14 AM - Mike Kelly: so drill the hole down like 3mm
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:15 AM - jbigler1986: So just drill the same hole with the 5/16th but only go like 3mm?
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Kelly: right
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Kelly: it's just a counterbore
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:15 AM - jbigler1986: Gotcha
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: let me see if i can get to it without taking it apart again
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: you can probably do it by hand
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: That's what I was going to try
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: It's pretty soft
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i figure
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd be nervous about counter boarding without a stop
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:17 AM - jbigler1986: I will drill a little then measure until i get 3mm
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: eh it doesn't need to be that precise
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: just enough to let the PTC connector in
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:19 AM - jbigler1986: Forgot to tighten that zip tie anyways
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:22 AM - Mike Kelly: also i did run the bed to 170 then let it drop
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:23 AM - Mike Kelly: and i'm only running my bed on 24v right now, might switch more over later
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/uZffvgP
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:24 AM - jbigler1986: Like that? I need to do more though
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:25 AM - Mike Kelly: precisely
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: How much is 2 much? jw
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: until you poke all the way through
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm i have a question for you, what's that 3rd screw on the bottom
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Mike Kelly: on the left
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:27 AM - Ben R: curious...
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:28 AM - Ben R: yea... random

Mar 12, 2015 at 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: I was so upset. It was the straightest sticker ever too
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: They will probably end up selling to some chinese anyways, wait they are chinese..lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: hahahaha
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: right?
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: their kickstarter was such snake oil shit
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: I hear alot of them are
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: showing smooth rods on the Y, then shipping with drawer slides
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Mike Glass: how did that get there.hmm
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: oh we had a pallet of them, so better use those for half the cost
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Kelly: "someone might steal our design"
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah someone would have to want to steal a bad design first
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:34 AM - Mike Kelly: they'd be better off taking ultimaker 2 which is actually open source
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/UCggxBt
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: good?

Mar 12, 2015 at 11:39 AM - jbigler1986: Good. Yeah I was confused as hell. Can you add that pic to the thread. So retards like me will understand
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:40 AM - Mike Kelly: yup will do
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:41 AM - jbigler1986: What are you guys talking about
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:42 AM - jbigler1986: Is the "Do not touch" sticker like a mattress tag? Can't remove it. Lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:43 AM - Mike Kelly: haha strip that shit
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:44 AM - jbigler1986: Shhhhhh. Don't tell my wife I got black plastic shavings all over the floor
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:45 AM - jbigler1986: I should just start vacuuming right now. Lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:46 AM - jbigler1986: Just cover them with a pillow. nobody will ever know
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:47 AM - Mike Kelly: isn't that what rugs are for
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:47 AM - jbigler1986: True
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:48 AM - jbigler1986: I wish the ribbon cables for lcd screen were longer
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:50 AM - jbigler1986: The cable doesn't catch anymore. Good call
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Mike Kelly: and added to the thread
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:52 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the LCD ribbon cable is data limited
Mar 12, 2015 at 11:54 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Not a huge Deal though
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: did you get a lcd too.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:03 PM - Mike Kelly: xxl?
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:06 PM - Mike Glass: ok Mike how the hell do I delete the extruder mounts off this thing.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: that's kinda tough
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: you'd need to make sure there's no references to it
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: lemme do it for you
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/PM4X4Gy

Mar 12, 2015 at 12:10 PM - jbigler1986: I may have an issue with buying filament. I have 3 spools of ABS not on the stand
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Mike Glass: did know you had the lcd
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Mike Glass: didnt
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Mike Kelly: you should see my spool collection
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Mike Kelly: i've got a serious problem
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: I wish I could figure out how to send a print to the sd card with Repetier
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: haha, I just ordered 2 more today, that puts me at only 8 total
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: I think you need server installed
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: I'm at 11
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: I never got suckered into pink yet..lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - Mike Kelly: mike do you have the original of the file i sent you?
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: You can do it within Repeteir Host. I get it to upload to sd card but it down't show that it actually adds it.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: yesum
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:13 PM - Mike Kelly: ok can you send me that
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i just saved over mine like a tool
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:14 PM - Mike Glass: ok
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:14 PM - Mike Glass: ahah
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: I have like 8 files on the sd card already. When I load sd card through Repetier it will show that files. It will let me upload a gcode file to the sd card but then it never refreshes and shows it in the list so i can print from it
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Mike Kelly: actually i had a backup on my dropbox
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Mike Glass: oh yea..
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: What are you guys working on
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:16 PM - Mike Glass: secret agent stuff

Mar 12, 2015 at 12:16 PM - Mike Kelly: thank god for dropbox saving stuff after you delete it
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:16 PM - jbigler1986: I swear I will print in that pink this weekend Mike
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:16 PM - Mike Kelly: i have some glow in the dark abs and ninjaflex i got for christmas i haven't even cracked
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: bigler i think you also wanted the side mount deal
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:17 PM - Mike Glass: Thank you much better. Ive been trying for an hour..lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:18 PM - jbigler1986: Yes.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i was gonna say
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: it's hard to know what the hell someone else did
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: easier for me to just delete shit
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:19 PM - Mike Glass: I delted all the realations but maybe too many
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:19 PM - jbigler1986: Now just need to add a tool holder to that or print one seperatly that I can attache with m4 bolts
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Mike Kelly: it might be a *bit* snug if you wanna increase the offset a tad
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Mike Kelly: on the left side there's a 2mm offset
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:20 PM - jbigler1986: Snug is good. Means I don't have to pop the cases cherry
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:21 PM - Mike Glass: I want one that will hold all my nozzles. and a cricut
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:21 PM - jbigler1986: and a beer
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:21 PM - Mike Kelly: if it's too tight it'll bleed
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:21 PM - Mike Kelly: (too far?)
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:22 PM - jbigler1986: I might as well go ahead and update the firmware for the e3d
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:22 PM - Mike Glass: Im gonna cut most off it off, I just want the top part is all.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:22 PM - jbigler1986: how do you engrave letters in solidworks?
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:23 PM - Mike Glass: Easy, extrude
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:24 PM - jbigler1986: time for a youtube step by step
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:26 PM - Mike Glass: create text select features/extruded boss/base
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: does that add it to the top or engrave it
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:31 PM - Mike Glass: depends what direction you select
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: so would i set the height to -

 

Mar 12, 2015 at 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: nevermind. can't. i have the text added
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:34 PM - Mike Glass: the arrows will let you pull the extured
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: i think i got it. uploaded the file

Mar 12, 2015 at 12:43 PM - Mike Glass: yep, but you made it go through all the way so your o will fall out..lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:43 PM - jbigler1986: ha
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:44 PM - jbigler1986: how would i add a little line to solve that
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:44 PM - Mike Glass: im gonna print mine now.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:45 PM - jbigler1986: almost all of those letters will fall out. totally over looked that
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:45 PM - Mike Glass: I cut the bottom off one inch I dont need the screws and added fillet back on.
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:46 PM - jbigler1986: how long to print?
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:47 PM - jbigler1986: what is the reasoning for add centering lines?
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: not sure yet, gonna put on my .8
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: to center objects
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:49 PM - jbigler1986: gonna try to make a simple spacer
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: 1 hour at .6
Mar 12, 2015 at 12:52 PM - jbigler1986: damnit. it froze

Mar 12, 2015 at 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: Ok. I placed a smaller circle in the bigger one. how do i make it a hole?
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:03 PM - jbigler1986: nevermind. just drug it
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:04 PM - jbigler1986: how do i check dimensions
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:05 PM - jbigler1986: nvm again. just click smart dimensions
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:07 PM - jbigler1986: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3BnieN0ZQZkNkJTcTFPQm9hNms/view?usp=sharing
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:08 PM - jbigler1986: Is that correct for OD 11mm, ID 8mm and height 4mm
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:13 PM - Mike Glass: correct for what?
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:14 PM - Mike Glass: dont know why it wont let me open.
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: Idk. It lets me open them after i save them. IDK why. I'm using 2015
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: so is mike and I can open his.
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:16 PM - Mike Glass: this is printing so slow..
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: what should I save it as
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: .prt, sldprt
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: SLDPRT
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: thats what it's saved as
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: can MK open it?
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: which they are but they show up like a icon, the ones mike sends it show a picture of the actual part
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: Weird. If I save is stl it loads up in repetier just fine. Hmmm
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:21 PM - Mike Glass: yea that workes
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: Don't know why it won't load for you though
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: I'm starting to get the hang of it a little
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:25 PM - Mike Glass: maybe it is a compat problem
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe. Should still open though.
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:27 PM - Mike Glass: think 15 did something differnt though
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:28 PM - Mike Glass: I dont see an option to save to a 14 though
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:31 PM - jbigler1986: Hey MK is the firmware in the thread the best one to use?
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: My LCD screen said autoV5
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:32 PM - jbigler1986: This one says autoV2
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:33 PM - Mike Glass: think he's in la la land
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: hmm. damn lcd edits didn't work.
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: lets try again
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:36 PM - jbigler1986: figured it out. it was contr-oller instead of controller
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: yay. fixed it
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:40 PM - jbigler1986: Ok. I'm calling it a night. It's 12:40am here. Woops
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:40 PM - Mike Glass: THis thing is gonna be sweet
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:40 PM - jbigler1986: Video?
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:41 PM - Mike Glass: its on translucent blue
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:41 PM - Mike Glass: in
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:41 PM - jbigler1986: perfect. lol
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Mike Glass: 2 more layers then it starts the walls
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:43 PM - Mike Glass: http://vaughnlive.tv/coolreactions
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:43 PM - Mike Glass: funny the fans shut off if its doint alot of area, hopefully they turn on when it starts the walls.
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:45 PM - Mike Glass: this would of taken me 6 hours with the .4
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:51 PM - Mike Glass: damn came off the bed
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:51 PM - jbigler1986: When it's finished put a link here and I will check it out in the morning
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:51 PM - jbigler1986: Night everyone
Mar 12, 2015 at 1:53 PM - Mike Glass: ciao
Mar 12, 2015 at 2:39 PM - BryZad: anyone up ?
Mar 12, 2015 at 8:55 PM - jbigler1986: Yes
Mar 12, 2015 at 8:55 PM - jbigler1986: Good morning

 

Mar 12, 2015 11:04 PM - Bill Monroe: Howdy
Mar 12, 2015 11:20 PM - Mike Kelly: morning
Mar 12, 2015 11:21 PM - jbigler1986: MG was trying to open my files but it wouldn't open correctly for him
Mar 12, 2015 11:21 PM - jbigler1986: Did you happen to try them?
Mar 12, 2015 11:21 PM - Mike Kelly: holy crap they updated the imgur app
Mar 12, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Kelly: and they removed the ability to upload pictures, assholes
Mar 12, 2015 11:28 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/YWkHGiZ
Mar 12, 2015 11:28 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah they open in 2015 but i get an error trying in 2013
Mar 12, 2015 11:29 PM - jbigler1986: Christmas has ariived
Mar 12, 2015 11:29 PM - Mike Kelly: oh hey look at that thing
Mar 12, 2015 11:29 PM - jbigler1986: 4 days later. Turds
Mar 12, 2015 11:29 PM - Mike Kelly: enjoy your candies!
Mar 12, 2015 11:29 PM - jbigler1986: The gold bears
Mar 12, 2015 11:30 PM - jbigler1986: Funny
Mar 12, 2015 11:31 PM - jbigler1986: Well I'm not busy at work today. Might be time to take the work laptop home. Lol
Mar 12, 2015 11:35 PM - Mike Kelly: haha
Mar 12, 2015 11:35 PM - Mike Kelly: that's the way to do it
Mar 12, 2015 11:39 PM - jbigler1986: Question
Mar 12, 2015 11:39 PM - jbigler1986: In SW I engraved lettering. How do I add some lines to the letters so they don't just fall out?
Mar 12, 2015 11:40 PM - jbigler1986: Just add a shape where I need to and extrude it?
Mar 12, 2015 11:41 PM - Mike Kelly: basically
Mar 12, 2015 11:41 PM - Mike Kelly: or just don't cut all the way through
Mar 12, 2015 11:42 PM - jbigler1986: Well the mount you guys made it wasn't very thick. So Not sure how well defined it would be if I made it less "deep"
Mar 12, 2015 11:43 PM - Mike Kelly: 5mm is pretty thick
Mar 12, 2015 11:43 PM - Mike Kelly: a 2-3mm cut would be sufficient
Mar 12, 2015 11:43 PM - jbigler1986: Didn't realize it was that thick. I guess I didn't look to closely
Mar 12, 2015 11:44 PM - jbigler1986: Is it hard to curve text?
Mar 12, 2015 11:46 PM - Mike Kelly: kinda yeah
Mar 12, 2015 11:48 PM - jbigler1986: Should I use the thermistor that came with e3d and install the threaded one on my hex?
Mar 12, 2015 11:49 PM - Mike Kelly: that's totally up to you i guess
Mar 12, 2015 11:49 PM - Mike Kelly: the e3d already has an m3 tap
Mar 12, 2015 11:50 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I might just install the threaded one and then use an epoxy of some sort to install this one on the hex
Mar 12, 2015 11:51 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd just keep it spare
Mar 12, 2015 11:51 PM - Mike Kelly: https://drive.google.com/a/pioneere...0B1Vi7DKNuRESY3FQMk9XVjlEcXc/view?usp=sharing here's an example of how to curve text
Mar 12, 2015 11:53 PM - jbigler1986: Ok. I will switch to my remote pc in a sec and check that out
Mar 12, 2015 11:54 PM - Mike Kelly: if you want to cut curved text into an object it gets more complicated
Mar 12, 2015 11:56 PM - jbigler1986: That's what I would want to do eventually
Mar 12, 2015 11:59 PM - Mike Kelly: looks like there may be an easier way, lemme try something
Mar 12, 2015 11:59 PM - jbigler1986: Ok
Mar 13, 2015 12:12 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like the wrap tool is the easiest
Mar 13, 2015 12:12 AM - jbigler1986: Is the e3d fan and the hex fan the same?
Mar 13, 2015 12:12 AM - jbigler1986: Save on wiring if so
Mar 13, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: e3d is 30mm
Mar 13, 2015 12:13 AM - jbigler1986: What is the hex one?
Mar 13, 2015 12:14 AM - jbigler1986: Or stock robo i should say
Mar 13, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Kelly: here's 3 different methods: https://drive.google.com/a/pioneere...0B1Vi7DKNuRESZ3kyY21fd0lPdGc/view?usp=sharing
Mar 13, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Kelly: 25mm
Mar 13, 2015 12:14 AM - jbigler1986: ok
Mar 13, 2015 12:16 AM - jbigler1986: Also does the wiring matter for the heating element?
Mar 13, 2015 12:16 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Mar 13, 2015 12:16 AM - Mike Kelly: only thing that matters is the fan
Mar 13, 2015 12:17 AM - jbigler1986: Sweet. Thank you.
Mar 13, 2015 12:18 AM - jbigler1986: now time to check out your link
Mar 13, 2015 12:24 AM - jbigler1986: 2 computers at once. Ahh
Mar 13, 2015 12:24 AM - jbigler1986: hah
Mar 13, 2015 12:25 AM - jbigler1986: Requested access
Mar 13, 2015 12:29 AM - Mike Glass: Mornin peeps
Mar 13, 2015 12:29 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Mar 13, 2015 12:29 AM - jbigler1986: Got my present finally
Mar 13, 2015 12:30 AM - jbigler1986: Did you end up reprinting the mount?
Mar 13, 2015 12:31 AM - Mike Glass: yea, then I decided to turn up the speed and filament broke so will have to redo tonight.
Mar 13, 2015 12:32 AM - Mike Glass: not sure using the t-blue is a good idea, might try Xt, but have to go reallly sllooowoww
Mar 13, 2015 12:32 AM - jbigler1986: Lol.
Mar 13, 2015 12:32 AM - jbigler1986: Well I will be printing it tonight
Mar 13, 2015 12:34 AM - jbigler1986: How I do move the text? It only moves when I click a spot
Mar 13, 2015 12:36 AM - Mike Glass: right click edit
Mar 13, 2015 12:36 AM - Mike Glass: edit sketch
Mar 13, 2015 12:39 AM - jbigler1986: Got that
Mar 13, 2015 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: thanks
Mar 13, 2015 12:40 AM - jbigler1986: Kinda hard to get precise on remote access. Lol
Mar 13, 2015 12:41 AM - Mike Glass: ha yes im sure it is. thats why I carry my laptop.
Mar 13, 2015 12:51 AM - TechSupportGo: FYI if you print this to hold your canola cotton print it in ABS!! the rising heat will soften it enough to clamp together on your filament http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:569339
Mar 13, 2015 12:51 AM - Mike Glass: meeting time bbl
Mar 13, 2015 12:52 AM - TechSupportGo: just the dust thingy
Mar 13, 2015 12:52 AM - TechSupportGo: leter man
Mar 13, 2015 12:52 AM - Mike Glass: I have the same one in abs
Mar 13, 2015 12:52 AM - TechSupportGo: going to give blood - wish me luck lol
Mar 13, 2015 12:52 AM - Mike Glass: if your getting that much heat then maybe something else is wrong
Mar 13, 2015 12:53 AM - Mike Glass: I dont use oil on mine never have yet.
Mar 13, 2015 12:54 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I run an oiler at the top just like that and have had 0 issues at all
Mar 13, 2015 12:54 AM - TechSupportGo: the room is hot and we are 12 hours into the print plus the case is squeezing it together
Mar 13, 2015 12:54 AM - jbigler1986: Except for my first time and I put WAY to much oil
Mar 13, 2015 12:54 AM - jbigler1986: Had a layer of oil on the bed. Parts just slid and didn't stick. Woops
Mar 13, 2015 12:55 AM - TechSupportGo: I caught it in time, still going strong!! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/robo-3d-r1-live-techsupportgo
Mar 13, 2015 12:55 AM - jbigler1986: That is a weird issue that you have though
Mar 13, 2015 12:57 AM - jbigler1986: Also I have printed a bunch of gears and none needed support. Could save you time and filament
Mar 13, 2015 12:58 AM - TechSupportGo: i will try next time
Mar 13, 2015 1:00 AM - TechSupportGo: my temporary solution https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FWeUGKaHaxM1loWjdpYmU0dVU/view?usp=sharing
Mar 13, 2015 1:02 AM - TechSupportGo: I have a ton of recycle plastic !!LOL
Mar 13, 2015 1:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i didn't think you'd need access just to download it
Mar 13, 2015 1:51 AM - jbigler1986: You have to give access
Mar 13, 2015 1:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i did
Mar 13, 2015 1:52 AM - jbigler1986: afterwards or before you gave me the link?
Mar 13, 2015 1:52 AM - Mike Kelly: after
Mar 13, 2015 1:52 AM - Mike Kelly: i got your request in a meeting, did it when i sent that message
Mar 13, 2015 1:53 AM - jbigler1986: Let me try again
Mar 13, 2015 1:56 AM - jbigler1986: Also tech i suggest getting an oiler that moves whith the printhead
Mar 13, 2015 1:57 AM - jbigler1986: You should be able to have it right on top of the extruder as well without any issues. You have an issue if you have that much heat from your printer
Mar 13, 2015 1:59 AM - jbigler1986: So wrap was the easiest?
Mar 13, 2015 1:59 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it was

 

Mar 13, 2015 1:59 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think you even need to make a plane like i did
Mar 13, 2015 2:01 AM - Mike Glass: your makin planes?
Mar 13, 2015 2:02 AM - Mike Kelly: reference planes
Mar 13, 2015 2:04 AM - jbigler1986: Where is the wrap?
Mar 13, 2015 2:05 AM - Mike Kelly: i generally just search for it with the command search
Mar 13, 2015 2:06 AM - jbigler1986: Did you extrude first then wrap?
Mar 13, 2015 2:06 AM - Mike Kelly: nope wrap does both
Mar 13, 2015 2:13 AM - jbigler1986: Wow. That was incredibly simple
Mar 13, 2015 2:14 AM - Mike Kelly: right? thanks for giving me motivation to learn that
Mar 13, 2015 2:14 AM - jbigler1986: Your welcome.
Mar 13, 2015 2:19 AM - jbigler1986: Feels good finally learing 3d design
Mar 13, 2015 2:20 AM - jbigler1986: Felt bad when I was asking someone to make me something as simple as a spacer
Mar 13, 2015 2:20 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Mar 13, 2015 2:20 AM - jbigler1986: Have you guys designed an actual tool holder yet?
Mar 13, 2015 2:21 AM - Mike Glass: im almost done just adding extra holes for my extra nozzles.
Mar 13, 2015 2:21 AM - jbigler1986: What all slots do you have?
Mar 13, 2015 2:23 AM - Mike Glass: cricut, twezz, calipers, glue stick, all the hex, 4 wrenches, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Mar 13, 2015 2:24 AM - Mike Glass: need screwdriver, hairspray
Mar 13, 2015 2:26 AM - jbigler1986: Scraper?
Mar 13, 2015 2:26 AM - Mike Glass: cricut is my scraper, I dont dare use that behmouth robo sent.
Mar 13, 2015 2:27 AM - jbigler1986: I use it.
Mar 13, 2015 2:36 AM - jbigler1986: Looks like I will be using my calipers more now. Lol
Mar 13, 2015 2:40 AM - Quest: I need to learn 3d design as well
Mar 13, 2015 2:42 AM - Mike Glass: Ok will sacrifice a slot for stuid scraper
Mar 13, 2015 2:44 AM - jbigler1986: Are you making it mount to the mount you guys made?
Mar 13, 2015 2:45 AM - Mike Glass: yup, just screws in from the back, I think that will work best
Mar 13, 2015 2:45 AM - Mike Glass: might have to start over IM running out of space..lol, maybe 2 tier holder?
Mar 13, 2015 2:46 AM - jbigler1986: Did you make recessed holes on the mount?
Mar 13, 2015 2:46 AM - Mike Glass: I havent yet, as I dont know where the holes will be to make sure they are not interfering with a tool spot
Mar 13, 2015 2:47 AM - jbigler1986: True that
Mar 13, 2015 2:50 AM - jbigler1986: Are you screwing the holder onto the mount or screwing from the mount to the holder?
Mar 13, 2015 2:50 AM - Mike Glass: mount to the holder so you dont see them.
Mar 13, 2015 2:51 AM - jbigler1986: Good. That's what I was thinking
Mar 13, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Glass: or I can do it as one piece altogether
Mar 13, 2015 2:57 AM - jbigler1986: I vote for that
Mar 13, 2015 2:58 AM - jbigler1986: Would be easy to to merge
Mar 13, 2015 3:00 AM - jbigler1986: I need to make a hair dryer/straightener holder for my wife
Mar 13, 2015 3:01 AM - Mike Glass: what do you mean merge?
Mar 13, 2015 3:01 AM - Mike Kelly: use ABS
Mar 13, 2015 3:02 AM - jbigler1986: Or combine your holder and the mount
Mar 13, 2015 3:02 AM - jbigler1986: Can't you just take one part and "merge" it with the other
Mar 13, 2015 3:02 AM - Mike Kelly: use the combine tool
Mar 13, 2015 3:08 AM - Ben R: do either of you actually have jobs?
Mar 13, 2015 3:08 AM - Ben R: Like.. round the clock shoutbox
Mar 13, 2015 3:09 AM - jbigler1986: Yep. At work now. Beauty of working from the computer all day
Mar 13, 2015 3:10 AM - Ben R: or not.. as it were
Mar 13, 2015 3:10 AM - Ben R: I know the kids around me are on chat of somesort all day.. But I wouldn't consider them working. They're just getting paid
Mar 13, 2015 3:11 AM - jbigler1986: Shoutbox on one screen spreadsheets on the other. Not difficult
Mar 13, 2015 3:12 AM - Ben R: yea.. work isn't what it used to be.
Mar 13, 2015 3:12 AM - Mike Glass: Its friday anyways
Mar 13, 2015 3:12 AM - Ben R: ha yea
Mar 13, 2015 3:13 AM - Ben R: My "chat kids" aren't chatting today. I have drs appts with kids. They're jumping through my hoops in my stead
Mar 13, 2015 3:13 AM - Ben R: its a nerf world
Mar 13, 2015 3:14 AM - Ben R: well.. nerf first world
Mar 13, 2015 3:15 AM - Ben R: is it me or has the forum really slowed down. Maybe that "autolevel" faq is working.
Mar 13, 2015 3:46 AM - Mike Kelly: if you saw how often my program "loads" you'd understand why i'm on here so much
Mar 13, 2015 3:50 AM - Ben R: You just need a second ... whatever it is you do
Mar 13, 2015 3:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd need a faster computer or a super computer probably
Mar 13, 2015 3:56 AM - Mike Kelly: dealing with thousands of components takes some time
Mar 13, 2015 3:57 AM - Ben R: ugh.. yea.. Due to my location, i have to web serve a lot of stuff. IF I can get through security firewalls... just.. horrible
Mar 13, 2015 3:57 AM - Ben R: then ignore it for 3 minutes... "logged out due to lack of activity"
Mar 13, 2015 3:57 AM - Ben R: really!
Mar 13, 2015 3:59 AM - Ben R: then "hey can you come down and discuss some of this stuff you just sent". Ugh.. drive to a place with no parking.
Mar 13, 2015 4:00 AM - BryZad: hey all
Mar 13, 2015 4:00 AM - Ben R: I really need to leave... 239 work days
Mar 13, 2015 4:00 AM - Ben R: left
Mar 13, 2015 4:00 AM - Ben R: wizzuts izzup
Mar 13, 2015 4:00 AM - Ben R: bryzzad
Mar 13, 2015 4:01 AM - BryZad: not much has anyone had a problem where ptinst seem to be going well the seem to shift on the yaxis a bit like there is a wave ?
Mar 13, 2015 4:03 AM - Ben R: not me.. but yes
Mar 13, 2015 4:03 AM - Ben R: see the sticky on troubleshooting
Mar 13, 2015 4:03 AM - Ben R: ya got some problems. Sticky or loose
Mar 13, 2015 4:03 AM - Ben R: well... pix?
Mar 13, 2015 4:04 AM - Mike Kelly: waves is a loose set screw
Mar 13, 2015 4:04 AM - BryZad: loose set screw on what ?
Mar 13, 2015 4:04 AM - Mike Kelly: the pulley...
Mar 13, 2015 4:05 AM - BryZad: underneath the bed
Mar 13, 2015 4:05 AM - BryZad: I was starting to think the cable chain might be binding
Mar 13, 2015 4:06 AM - BryZad: I can post a pic when I get home from work
Mar 13, 2015 4:06 AM - Ben R: might be
Mar 13, 2015 4:09 AM - Mike Kelly: check the pulley first
Mar 13, 2015 4:28 AM - BryZad: haha I just saw a guy with a license plate that said 3DPRINT
Mar 13, 2015 4:29 AM - TechSupportGo: will putting an external fan serve the same purpose as the onboard fan?
Mar 13, 2015 4:30 AM - TechSupportGo: take a picture!!!
Mar 13, 2015 4:30 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
Mar 13, 2015 4:32 AM - jbigler1986: Where did MG go? Wondering how the tool holder is coming along
Mar 13, 2015 4:33 AM - jbigler1986: I'm 70% on going to Reprap festival tomorrow
Mar 13, 2015 4:41 AM - Mike Glass: I lost 3 drives in a raid 5, thats fun..
Mar 13, 2015 4:44 AM - Mike Kelly: thank god for raid5
Mar 13, 2015 4:44 AM - jbigler1986: That's not fun at all
Mar 13, 2015 4:44 AM - Mike Kelly: solidworks pack and go is absolute shit
Mar 13, 2015 4:47 AM - Mike Glass: nope can lose more than 2 drives, had to rebuild the effin thing
Mar 13, 2015 4:47 AM - Mike Glass: cant
Mar 13, 2015 4:47 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh ouch
Mar 13, 2015 4:48 AM - Mike Glass: what are the odds that happens. First for me.
Mar 13, 2015 4:49 AM - Mike Kelly: don't they alert you when a drive fails
Mar 13, 2015 4:57 AM - Mike Glass: yea its a backup device thats fairly new and they should of got notified, they usually know before me.
Mar 13, 2015 4:58 AM - Mike Glass: gonna add it to my logging server, then I will know first.
Mar 13, 2015 4:59 AM - Mike Kelly: my raid 0 saved me once
Mar 13, 2015 4:59 AM - Mike Kelly: had a hard drive die

 

Mar 13, 2015 4:59 AM - Mike Kelly: got a replacement, all better
Mar 13, 2015 5:00 AM - Mike Glass: I have drives fail all the time but not 3 together, thats insane
Mar 13, 2015 5:01 AM - Mike Kelly: you should go buy a lottery ticket
Mar 13, 2015 5:03 AM - Mike Glass: if it's gonna happen, its gonna happen to me!

Mar 13, 2015 5:03 AM - Mike Kelly: guns cut in half are so cool
Mar 13, 2015 5:07 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh is this day over yet
Mar 13, 2015 5:08 AM - BryZad: I second that Mike
Mar 13, 2015 5:08 AM - Mike Glass: I like silencers.. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/foghorn/cutaway-silencers/
Mar 13, 2015 5:09 AM - Mike Kelly: silencers are also cool
Mar 13, 2015 5:12 AM - BryZad: silencers are just like mufflers on cars same principal
Mar 13, 2015 5:12 AM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/goEHFdZ.jpg
Mar 13, 2015 5:13 AM - Mike Kelly: hence why the terms are near synonyms
Mar 13, 2015 5:13 AM - Mike Kelly: silencer just sounds cooler
Mar 13, 2015 5:14 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.macrumors.com/2015/03/13/ios-8-3-space-bar-period-keyboard-fix/ oh thank god
Mar 13, 2015 5:15 AM - BryZad: it does sound cooler
Mar 13, 2015 5:17 AM - Mike Kelly: omg this is soooo annooyinngggggg
Mar 13, 2015 5:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm about to chuck my computer
Mar 13, 2015 5:28 AM - jbigler1986: Longest work day ever
Mar 13, 2015 5:30 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed
Mar 13, 2015 5:30 AM - Mike Glass: that.is.so.dumb.who.uses.ios
Mar 13, 2015 5:31 AM - Mike Kelly: majority of the people living in wealthy nations
Mar 13, 2015 5:31 AM - Mike Glass: Guess, im not included.
Mar 13, 2015 5:34 AM - Mike Glass: ugg only 2:30 come on.
Mar 13, 2015 5:38 AM - jbigler1986: 20 minutes left for me
Mar 13, 2015 5:39 AM - Ben R: Isomerimes i like my salaried job... "Hey, im done, leaving"
Mar 13, 2015 5:39 AM - Mike Kelly: i think i'm gonna take off soon
Mar 13, 2015 5:39 AM - Ben R: Stupid ios keyboard
Mar 13, 2015 5:39 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm struggling
Mar 13, 2015 5:39 AM - jbigler1986: It's been one of those days
Mar 13, 2015 5:39 AM - jbigler1986: Its*
Mar 13, 2015 5:40 AM - Mike Kelly: must be friday the 13th or something
Mar 13, 2015 5:40 AM - Ben R: Never saw the point in clock watching... Unless ur a support office. Needs to answer phones
Mar 13, 2015 5:41 AM - Ben R: I let my guys go if we're at a stopping point. We have a 24/7 phone dept
Mar 13, 2015 5:41 AM - Mike Kelly: eh there's always something for me to be doing
Mar 13, 2015 5:42 AM - Mike Kelly: i have no "done"
Mar 13, 2015 5:42 AM - jbigler1986: There never is
Mar 13, 2015 5:43 AM - Mike Kelly: though this day is taking forever because i'm trying to make a duplicate revision of my main assembly and it's being SOOOOO SLOWWWWWW
Mar 13, 2015 5:43 AM - Ben R: that doesn;t sound like it SHOULD be slow
Mar 13, 2015 5:43 AM - Mike Kelly: my main assembly is thousands of files
Mar 13, 2015 5:44 AM - Ben R: or.. something that needs to happen overnight... like old pixar processing
Mar 13, 2015 5:44 AM - Mike Kelly: and i have to rename about half of them manually because there's no batch script for fixing references
Mar 13, 2015 5:44 AM - Mike Kelly: if it was windows it would be easy ren *M1.2* *M1.2.1*
Mar 13, 2015 5:44 AM - Ben R: sounds like an opportunity for improvement
Mar 13, 2015 5:44 AM - Mike Kelly: but then when i tried and load it i'd have to manually locate each file
Mar 13, 2015 5:44 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah lemme just call up DDS and tell them to fix it
Mar 13, 2015 5:45 AM - Ben R: you're paid too much to deal with it. you need an assistant.
Mar 13, 2015 5:45 AM - Mike Kelly: and it doesn't pull everything with the pack and go
Mar 13, 2015 5:45 AM - Mike Kelly: GOD DAMMIT
Mar 13, 2015 5:46 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh solidworks is the devil
Mar 13, 2015 5:46 AM - Ben R: I miss the days when you were supposed to do your job. Paperwork was in an admin pool, phones were an operator, memos were a secretarial pool. Now you have office, everything is your job.
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Mike Kelly: i've never had any of those things
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Mike Kelly: everything was always my job
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Mike Kelly: buying toilet paper? my job
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Ben R: yea... whipper snapper
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Ben R: or small business employee
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Mike Kelly: small business
Mar 13, 2015 5:47 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think i could work in a corporation
Mar 13, 2015 5:48 AM - Ben R: you will... your boss is already implementing his exit strategy
Mar 13, 2015 5:48 AM - Mike Kelly: not anytime soon
Mar 13, 2015 5:48 AM - Ben R: part of it is keeping it a surprise
Mar 13, 2015 5:50 AM - Mike Kelly: aren't you chipper
Mar 13, 2015 5:50 AM - Ben R: not really. not at all
Mar 13, 2015 5:50 AM - Ben R: bad week
Mar 13, 2015 5:50 AM - Ben R: and the wife just off to work was being a real 3 legged one
Mar 13, 2015 5:51 AM - Mike Kelly: this is just one of those days i gues
Mar 13, 2015 5:51 AM - Ben R: just trying to get her a birthday present "I just got up... WHAT!?"
Mar 13, 2015 5:51 AM - Ben R: not what i needed today
Mar 13, 2015 5:52 AM - Ben R: I am sure.. oh yea.. my 0.8 mm nozzle came today. But I am still having creative block and have no idea what to print
Mar 13, 2015 5:53 AM - Mike Kelly: ok i think i figured out a batch way of doing this
Mar 13, 2015 5:53 AM - Mike Kelly: now to wait 20 minutes for it to copy some 800 files
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Ben R: wow... that's a bit.
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Ben R: you need a new computer
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Ben R: or a super computer
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i think it's doing the action on the server
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Ben R: are you working locally or on ...
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Ben R: nm
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i could use a super computer probably
Mar 13, 2015 5:54 AM - Mike Kelly: or maybe a new processor
Mar 13, 2015 5:55 AM - Ben R: well this is file system yea?
Mar 13, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's a PDM
Mar 13, 2015 5:55 AM - Ben R: processes aren't likely too heavy
Mar 13, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Kelly: 20 minutes is an exageration
Mar 13, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Kelly: probably a minute
Mar 13, 2015 5:55 AM - Mike Kelly: it's like halfway done
Mar 13, 2015 5:56 AM - Ben R: we're getting hella bad latency on a computer at work... 95% idle
Mar 13, 2015 5:56 AM - Ben R: I say computer... a pair of servers
Mar 13, 2015 5:57 AM - Ben R: but I'm talking taking 30 seconds to route a message
Mar 13, 2015 5:57 AM - Ben R: that 4 seconds is our time limit to be at customer
Mar 13, 2015 5:58 AM - Mike Kelly: done
Mar 13, 2015 5:58 AM - Ben R: that was easy
Mar 13, 2015 5:58 AM - Mike Kelly: so like 4 minutes
Mar 13, 2015 5:58 AM - Mike Kelly: well i don't know if it worked yet
Mar 13, 2015 5:58 AM - Ben R: that's reasonable for 800 files I'd think
Mar 13, 2015 5:59 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i mean i have a fast computer
Mar 13, 2015 5:59 AM - Mike Kelly: it's just doing a lot
Mar 13, 2015 6:00 AM - Ben R: Once the file system starts getting slow.. "rotten hard drive" syndrome. Get permissions errors etc.
Mar 13, 2015 6:00 AM - Ben R: ha.. speaking of which. My sd card on the mac. I never eject it. Caused quite a problem
Mar 13, 2015 6:01 AM - Ben R: didn't damage the card.. but my entire drive mounting was screwed up. Couldn't even unmount them to fix it. Had to do the "recovery" partition
Mar 13, 2015 6:02 AM - Ben R: I say, never eject it.. I just yank it out

 

Mar 13, 2015 6:02 AM - Ben R: started not actually writing to the card... upon investigation it was more than just the SD
Mar 13, 2015 6:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i killed a flash drive the other day pulling it from a computer
Mar 13, 2015 6:03 AM - Mike Kelly: didn't know you could actually do that
Mar 13, 2015 6:04 AM - Ben R: I have a nice UBER futuristic (1 year ago) mega ASUS motherboard on my "game computer". The usb3 on it has fried everything I put in it.
Mar 13, 2015 6:05 AM - Mike Kelly: snap
Mar 13, 2015 6:05 AM - Ben R: starting with my backup drive.
Mar 13, 2015 6:06 AM - Ben R: I was able to take apart the case and use the drives in it. but still... suck
Mar 13, 2015 6:07 AM - Ben R: so.. I'm not up on this. USB3 should be all super backwards compatible and all. right? I bet the cable (this is the case port) is wired wrong
Mar 13, 2015 6:07 AM - Ben R: I unplugged it and forgot about it.
Mar 13, 2015 6:07 AM - Ben R: Speaking of which.. fun project. I need more frame rate. Time to shop some video cards
Mar 13, 2015 6:08 AM - Mike Kelly: lol holy shit
Mar 13, 2015 6:08 AM - Mike Kelly: my copy looked fine but my original looks like a game of ker plunk
Mar 13, 2015 6:08 AM - Ben R: like the actual display of your files?
Mar 13, 2015 6:08 AM - Ben R: or the file system
Mar 13, 2015 6:08 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah a bunch of routes got messed up i guessed and they're just shooting out
Mar 13, 2015 6:08 AM - Mike Kelly: my model*
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Ben R: hmm..
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Mike Kelly: this is fun
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Ben R: so.. that software.. it's the bomb?
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Mike Kelly: yup it's the best
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Ben R: is it something that someone like me would be able to pick up as easy as say... freecad?
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Mike Kelly: definitely
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Ben R: I'm not a fan of their marketing
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Ben R: the whole.. get a quote
Mar 13, 2015 6:09 AM - Ben R: thing
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Ben R: I'm a vet so.. 20 bucks I gues
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Ben R: s
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah and they use resellers and shit
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: onshape looks promissing
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Ben R: yea.. mechanical engineering company keeps calling me since I asked for a quite in december
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Ben R: quote
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: sign up for an invite if you haven't
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Ben R: onshape.. aye aye
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: it's free and does a lot of the same things as solidworks
Mar 13, 2015 6:10 AM - Mike Kelly: reason i use solidworks is their routing utility
Mar 13, 2015 6:11 AM - Mike Kelly: draw a 3d sketch route, define pipe sizes, it fills in elbows and junk
Mar 13, 2015 6:11 AM - Mike Kelly: but it's like 7k a seat for the "premium" edition
Mar 13, 2015 6:11 AM - Mike Kelly: which is just ludicrous
Mar 13, 2015 6:11 AM - Mike Kelly: and then there's a $2200 subscription fee every year
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Ben R: yea... i see... I don't know where these things get off.. but maybe it's HIPA and Gov''t approved
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Mike Kelly: there's not really great competition to it
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Mike Kelly: ok i reloaded the file and it looks better
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Ben R: is it magic?
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Mike Kelly: less ker plunky
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Ben R: I mean... I was cadding back in 1990
Mar 13, 2015 6:12 AM - Ben R: hell... 1986..
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Mike Kelly: geez
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Ben R: it might be cool.. but.. we've done without
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Ben R: (I started early)
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Mike Kelly: shoulda stuck with it
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Ben R: Of course
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Ben R: Back then though, drawing pretty pictures was the only reward
Mar 13, 2015 6:13 AM - Ben R: unless someone paid you
Mar 13, 2015 6:14 AM - Ben R: point being, we did without. Unless it can read my mind and just draw my imagination... $7000? really
Mar 13, 2015 6:14 AM - Mike Kelly: yup, but that's what it takes to make modern engineered systems
Mar 13, 2015 6:15 AM - Ben R: yea.. but it doesn't create intrinsic value. You can't just make up R&D in the first 6 months.
Mar 13, 2015 6:15 AM - Ben R: its about a good product that sells enough units to make it up.
Mar 13, 2015 6:15 AM - Mike Kelly: considering the cost of our systems, if we sell 1 then 7k is absolutely nothing
Mar 13, 2015 6:15 AM - Ben R: I know it gets harder in the niche markets
Mar 13, 2015 6:16 AM - Mike Kelly: you couldn't design what i did with pencil and paper
Mar 13, 2015 6:16 AM - Ben R: well.. but its not nothing. Its still quite a bit of overhead.
Mar 13, 2015 6:16 AM - Mike Kelly: eh not really
Mar 13, 2015 6:16 AM - Ben R: dude.. men on the moon
Mar 13, 2015 6:16 AM - Ben R: granted... they had entire buildings full of calculators
Mar 13, 2015 6:16 AM - Ben R: smart young ladies called calculators
Mar 13, 2015 6:17 AM - Mike Kelly: eh, either way it's fun for me and they pay me to do it, so i'm not complaining
Mar 13, 2015 6:18 AM - Mike Kelly: if it reduces mistakes on the floor it saves money
Mar 13, 2015 6:18 AM - Ben R: I am just questioning the business practice. How much money is in R&D, what is the market volume, why 7k and annual fees. Is it just taking advantage of some IP that is "revolutionary"
Mar 13, 2015 6:18 AM - Mike Kelly: and if it helps them build faster it saves money
Mar 13, 2015 6:18 AM - Mike Kelly: every product you own was modeled in 3d cad software
Mar 13, 2015 6:19 AM - Ben R: This is THAT revolutionary?
Mar 13, 2015 6:19 AM - Mike Kelly: it's just the way engineering gets done in the 21st century
Mar 13, 2015 6:19 AM - Ben R: well.. I have quite a few antiques.. but yea I know
Mar 13, 2015 6:19 AM - Mike Kelly: simulation is why you do it
Mar 13, 2015 6:19 AM - Ben R: I guess.. thinking back on it.. autocad was 400 dollars for an individual license in 1995
Mar 13, 2015 6:20 AM - Ben R: and they would come out with a new version every year
Mar 13, 2015 6:20 AM - Mike Kelly: i think the bubble of cad pricing is going to burst
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Ben R: What you're saying is that the price they charge is based on the value added to the process, and lack of competition?
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: especially with free software like onshape
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: right
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Ben R: yea.. I have like 10 free progs out there.
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Ben R: Hmm.. that's a business practice that can't survive competition
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: there's literally no software out there that can do what i do with solidworks
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Mike Kelly: so i'm forced into one option
Mar 13, 2015 6:21 AM - Ben R: Really? What's the big deal?
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Mike Kelly: Routing
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Mike Glass: autocad is spendy, we have 3 net licenses, its around $6300 annual
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Ben R: routing meaning?
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Ben R: yea.. I know.. autodesk.. ugh
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Ben R: had to buy a student copy back in .. 1992? Cost more than the rest of my books
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Mike Kelly: i have two pressure vessels that I need to connect with a series of pipes, fittings and sensors
Mar 13, 2015 6:22 AM - Mike Glass: well civil3d is what its called.
Mar 13, 2015 6:23 AM - Mike Kelly: traditional method I'd have to model each piece and mate them all
Mar 13, 2015 6:23 AM - Ben R: yea.. autocad has really split their product into ones having different buttons for different people
Mar 13, 2015 6:23 AM - Mike Kelly: and if i ever needed to change it i'd have to rebuild most of it
Mar 13, 2015 6:23 AM - Ben R: what is routing in this context?
Mar 13, 2015 6:23 AM - Ben R: oh that thing with the tubes thing
Mar 13, 2015 6:23 AM - Ben R: I want here to here... make it happen in my parameters
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Ben R: and I assume that is protected IP
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Mike Kelly: with routing, I draw the connection line, and it automatically generates elbows, pipe lengths, weld gaps, and adding fittings and sensors is drag and drop

 

Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Ben R: or the idea is
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Mike Kelly: if i move something it automatically updates
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Mike Kelly: so yes
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Ben R: ah.. so not so much modeling, but process construction
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Mike Kelly: exactly
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Ben R: or, takes into account processes
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Mike Kelly: i do systems engineering
Mar 13, 2015 6:24 AM - Ben R: well.. that's handy
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Ben R: Well.. hell I do systems engineering... I take the requirements... and I give them to the specific engineers
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Ben R: I assume you mean it differently
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm not sure what to say i do
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Mike Kelly: my title is Chief Design Engineer
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Mike Kelly: in simple terms i make a 3d puzzle and figure out how to fit too many things in a small area
Mar 13, 2015 6:25 AM - Ben R: this is what we use Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how to design and manage complex engineering systems over their life cycles.
Mar 13, 2015 6:26 AM - Mike Kelly: that's basically what i do
Mar 13, 2015 6:26 AM - Ben R: so. I can't build your 3d models.. but I can interpret them for the EEs and the boss and whoever
Mar 13, 2015 6:26 AM - Ben R: I don't engineer a damn thing... I just speak engineer in meetings
Mar 13, 2015 6:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i have to design a system that can be built and serviced, and lots of other requirements
Mar 13, 2015 6:26 AM - Ben R: well.. like I said.. engineer the system that makes the system go
Mar 13, 2015 6:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i hardly engineer anymore, i'm a line dragger
Mar 13, 2015 6:27 AM - Ben R: i'm a line toeer
Mar 13, 2015 6:27 AM - Ben R: toe-er
Mar 13, 2015 6:27 AM - Ben R: w/e... Have to waddle around the office... faster, cheaper, better
Mar 13, 2015 6:27 AM - Ben R: hostile work environment.
Mar 13, 2015 6:28 AM - Ben R: Thing is, the world should be run by a systems engineer type person.. but its run by lawyer type people
Mar 13, 2015 6:32 AM - Mike Kelly: scientists and engineers are too smart to be in politics
Mar 13, 2015 6:33 AM - Mike Kelly: wow onshape must have heard me pimping it, my account just got activated
Mar 13, 2015 6:40 AM - Ben R: I'll be notified when they can activate mine
Mar 13, 2015 6:40 AM - Ben R: thing is.. if there were scientists and engineers running things.. it wouldn't be politics
Mar 13, 2015 6:41 AM - Ben R: "oh, I see, that's supported by fact, best course, lets execute"... well that may be a bit naive... but better
Mar 13, 2015 6:43 AM - Ben R: Earlier I was complaining about having to do everything.. there's actually a contract worker in my office with very... ill defined job responsibilities. He's very good at writing up documents.. .I use him as my secretary.
Mar 13, 2015 6:43 AM - Ben R: "make this postit look like a policy document and put an overview slide together for the execs"
Mar 13, 2015 6:43 AM - Ben R: bam
Mar 13, 2015 6:44 AM - Ben R: He's happy to do it. Hell.. sometimes he does it out from under me without asking
Mar 13, 2015 6:44 AM - Ben R: I think its because my slides kill him. Way too clinical. None of those zoomy cones, no animations
Mar 13, 2015 8:01 AM - Mike Glass: damn wish Onshape worked with my Spacenavigator.
Mar 13, 2015 8:02 AM - Ben R: oooooh space
Mar 13, 2015 8:03 AM - Ben R: ah.. neato periferal
Mar 13, 2015 8:03 AM - Mike Glass: Other Mike uses on too
Mar 13, 2015 8:03 AM - Mike Glass: must have for 3d
Mar 13, 2015 8:03 AM - Ben R: yea.. I was lamenting navigation
Mar 13, 2015 8:03 AM - Ben R: didn't used to have the computer power to rotate like that. just multi pane designing
Mar 13, 2015 8:04 AM - Ben R: 3d modeling.. navigation with the mouse... blah
Mar 13, 2015 8:04 AM - Ben R: even just trying to get a good look in S3D is annoying
Mar 13, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: I even use it for web..lol
Mar 13, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: havent tried it in s3d yet
Mar 13, 2015 8:04 AM - Ben R: is it like a mouse? I mean.. it looked like a dial and button
Mar 13, 2015 8:04 AM - Ben R: but its optical
Mar 13, 2015 8:05 AM - Ben R: I just saw a pic and created my own story
Mar 13, 2015 8:05 AM - Mike Glass: yea and heavy
Mar 13, 2015 8:06 AM - Ben R: hmm a bit more than I want to just drop for fun...
Mar 13, 2015 8:06 AM - Ben R: I'll wait till i'm shopping at 2 am and buy it then
Mar 13, 2015 8:07 AM - Ben R: let reason to the wind
Mar 13, 2015 8:07 AM - Ben R: but it is hyper annoying to navigate with the mouse
Mar 13, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Glass: not cheap but they have one's that are insanely expensive, this was under $100
Mar 13, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah I was worried about a web app working with 3d connexions
Mar 13, 2015 8:08 AM - Ben R: yea.. they're all around there.. no big deal.. but ...
Mar 13, 2015 8:08 AM - Mike Glass: each program differs
Mar 13, 2015 8:08 AM - jbigler1986: Back to printing finally
Mar 13, 2015 8:08 AM - Ben R: I don't work with them.. so.. it's kind of superfluous.
Mar 13, 2015 8:08 AM - Mike Glass: good try onshape..lol
Mar 13, 2015 8:08 AM - Ben R: when I get my designing block out...
Mar 13, 2015 8:09 AM - Ben R: I'm printing out mike K's dual extruder stuff... getting ready. Dropped some dough on a "knock off" e3d. I can compare
Mar 13, 2015 8:10 AM - Ben R: I say knock off.. but their designs say public license.
Mar 13, 2015 8:10 AM - Ben R: or... something like it
Mar 13, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah but they advertise it as e3d which is trademarked
Mar 13, 2015 8:13 AM - Mike Kelly: Those knock offs aren't worth even the low cost
Mar 13, 2015 8:13 AM - Ben R: is it? I mean.. is the "design" named that? I have zero understanding or interest in legalese.
Mar 13, 2015 8:13 AM - Ben R: how can they be different? It's a metal tube
Mar 13, 2015 8:13 AM - Mike Kelly: Surfaced machining
Mar 13, 2015 8:13 AM - Ben R: I mean, if tolerances are off. You mentioned that.. well. I'll have 2 to compare
Mar 13, 2015 8:13 AM - Ben R: yea.. that's my worry.. but is it really going to interfere.
Mar 13, 2015 8:14 AM - Ben R: If it is indeed bad
Mar 13, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: E3D is a trademarked name so using it to advertise a product is infringement
Mar 13, 2015 8:14 AM - Ben R: who knows, maybe smoother isn't better
Mar 13, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: But China doesn't care. They just load it on a different account
Mar 13, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: Lol you've been out of school too long
Mar 13, 2015 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: Smoother is absolutely critical
Mar 13, 2015 8:15 AM - Ben R: True.. I have.. but
Mar 13, 2015 8:16 AM - Ben R: hmm.. I'll have to see it in person. With my hex.. the filament isn't really touching any part of it.. or barely
Mar 13, 2015 8:16 AM - Ben R: just the nozzle and input brass
Mar 13, 2015 8:16 AM - Ben R: pluggy thing
Mar 13, 2015 8:16 AM - Ben R: and the E3D has a teflon tube does it not?
Mar 13, 2015 8:17 AM - Ben R: which even if not super smooth, has a low friction coefficient
Mar 13, 2015 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: The nozzle is generally where those fail
Mar 13, 2015 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: And some have ptfe that runs to the nozzle like a j head so it doesn't even work like all metal
Mar 13, 2015 8:18 AM - Ben R: and it doesn't have ptfe
Mar 13, 2015 8:19 AM - Ben R: well... we will see...
Mar 13, 2015 8:19 AM - Ben R: I will see
Mar 13, 2015 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: The e3d use ptfe in the cold part of the heat break
Mar 13, 2015 8:19 AM - Ben R: Its hard to get a honer into those pipes...
Mar 13, 2015 8:20 AM - Ben R: ok.. their cutaway isn't labeled.. it just said "no peek/ptfe"
Mar 13, 2015 8:20 AM - Mike Kelly: Yeah they vary by mfg
Mar 13, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: It's your money though. I think Tom did a review of one
Mar 13, 2015 8:22 AM - Ben R: I'll look it up to see what to look for
Mar 13, 2015 8:23 AM - Ben R: So looking at the trademark.. and I'm just PLAYING lawyer here. looks like the E3D trademark is the logo... not the characters.
Mar 13, 2015 8:23 AM - Ben R: but.. lawyer talk.. I avoid it
Mar 13, 2015 8:24 AM - Ben R: they do own black , charcoal, silver and blue.
Mar 13, 2015 8:28 AM - Ben R: oooh.. I never thought to use a tamiya tool to attach nozzles

 

Mar 13, 2015 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: Reprinting the low profile fans
Mar 13, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Glass: does it fit?
Mar 13, 2015 8:28 AM - Ben R: the e3d stock nozzle
Mar 13, 2015 8:28 AM - Ben R: so probably most of them
Mar 13, 2015 8:29 AM - Mike Glass: I have the v6 nozzles
Mar 13, 2015 8:29 AM - Mike Glass: a v6 nozzle
Mar 13, 2015 8:29 AM - Ben R: yea.. "TOM" just used a tamiya tool on the video
Mar 13, 2015 8:31 AM - Mike Glass: go to be easier then a small wrench for sure, might have to locate one.
Mar 13, 2015 8:32 AM - Mike Glass: I change my nozzles to often now
Mar 13, 2015 8:32 AM - Ben R: yea.. I never tried to dig out a socket.. but the tamiya wrench would be perfect. small and not too torquey as to break anything
Mar 13, 2015 8:36 AM - Ben R: got my .8 Need to come up with a good test (other than an initial box)
Mar 13, 2015 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: Normal to have retweak after changing hotend?
Mar 13, 2015 8:37 AM - Ben R: maybe?
Mar 13, 2015 8:37 AM - Ben R: same diameter nozzle?
Mar 13, 2015 8:38 AM - Ben R: I didn't have to last time I changed hotend.. you still running hexagon?
Mar 13, 2015 8:38 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Mar 13, 2015 8:38 AM - Ben R: then no
Mar 13, 2015 8:38 AM - Ben R: wait.. which adjustment?
Mar 13, 2015 8:39 AM - Ben R: height shoudln't be a thing... extrusion shouldn't
Mar 13, 2015 8:39 AM - Ben R: I've used 3 hotends and never changed anything.
Mar 13, 2015 8:40 AM - Ben R: hmmm there's a 1.2 available for the volcano... hmmmmmmm
Mar 13, 2015 8:40 AM - jbigler1986: I think it may have been the fans. They needed angled down more as it sits lower
Mar 13, 2015 8:41 AM - Ben R: oh yea.. what were you doing to your machine?
Mar 13, 2015 8:41 AM - Ben R: cutting things and stuff
Mar 13, 2015 8:42 AM - jbigler1986: Didn't cut anything
Mar 13, 2015 8:43 AM - Ben R: I thought I saw pix from you cutting and drilling or something
Mar 13, 2015 8:43 AM - Ben R: anyway.. nothing should chhange unless you changed your setup.
Mar 13, 2015 8:43 AM - Ben R: which it sounds like you didn't
Mar 13, 2015 8:43 AM - jbigler1986: Drilling yes.
Mar 13, 2015 8:43 AM - Ben R: so you moved your hotend?
Mar 13, 2015 8:43 AM - Ben R: it looked like the underside of your extruder in the pix
Mar 13, 2015 8:44 AM - Ben R: but I wasn't around for the whole convo
Mar 13, 2015 8:44 AM - Ben R: but unless you changed the screw holes on the side.. its the same height
Mar 13, 2015 8:45 AM - jbigler1986: Upgraded to e3d v6
Mar 13, 2015 8:46 AM - Ben R: I thought you just said you were still using hexagon
Mar 13, 2015 8:46 AM - jbigler1986: No
Mar 13, 2015 8:47 AM - Ben R: ok.. must have ignored that and answered previous
Mar 13, 2015 8:47 AM - Ben R: ok
Mar 13, 2015 8:47 AM - Ben R: yea.. your fan... shouldn't need to adjust anything unless pET or pla
Mar 13, 2015 8:47 AM - jbigler1986: Pla
Mar 13, 2015 8:50 AM - Ben R: yup.. need one of these...http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:270506
Mar 13, 2015 8:50 AM - Ben R: they;re good for whatever hotend really
Mar 13, 2015 8:50 AM - Ben R: and you have an e3d.. put away the pla..
Mar 13, 2015 8:50 AM - Ben R: step up to some hot sh!t
Mar 13, 2015 8:52 AM - Ben R: @Mike Kelly. Nice hotend mount. Just printed.. very solid.
Mar 13, 2015 8:52 AM - Ben R: Good tolerances
Mar 13, 2015 8:52 AM - Mike Kelly: the one for bowden?
Mar 13, 2015 8:53 AM - Ben R: yea
Mar 13, 2015 8:53 AM - Ben R: you get a sticker
Mar 13, 2015 8:55 AM - Ben R: And with the direction of print, texture of the layers... I bet I could use it without bolts.. It kind of snaps together
Mar 13, 2015 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah you could, i just like things secure
Mar 13, 2015 8:57 AM - Ben R: absolutely.. not worth the risk.. but still
Mar 13, 2015 8:57 AM - Ben R: now of course, S3D put support inside the screw holes...
Mar 13, 2015 9:01 AM - TechSupportGo: onshape
Mar 13, 2015 9:04 AM - BryZad: here is a pic Ben on what i was talking about on the y axis
Mar 13, 2015 9:05 AM - BryZad:
Mar 13, 2015 9:05 AM - Mike Kelly: looks to me like a loose pulley
Mar 13, 2015 9:05 AM - BryZad: ooooppss was just suppose to be the link sorry guys
Mar 13, 2015 9:05 AM - Ben R: yea... loose junk
Mar 13, 2015 9:05 AM - Ben R: tighten set screw.. check other things in the direction of the failure.. y axis right
Mar 13, 2015 9:06 AM - BryZad: the one under the build plate mike ?
Mar 13, 2015 9:06 AM - Ben R: yea
Mar 13, 2015 9:06 AM - Ben R: you say pulley.. you mean that idler bearing "pulley"?
Mar 13, 2015 9:06 AM - BryZad: it is on the y axia
Mar 13, 2015 9:07 AM - Ben R: just lift up the plate.. you can stand it against the side without unplugging
Mar 13, 2015 9:07 AM - BryZad: yea what pulley and where
Mar 13, 2015 9:07 AM - Ben R: check all the things for looseness
Mar 13, 2015 9:07 AM - Ben R: you'll see the belt and belt path. Just check everything.
Mar 13, 2015 9:09 AM - Ben R: you can check belt tension at the same time. Should be.. like.. E string on a bass guitar tight
Mar 13, 2015 9:11 AM - BryZad: i did find the belt ancors a bit loose
Mar 13, 2015 9:12 AM - Ben R: well.. they're adjusters
Mar 13, 2015 9:13 AM - Ben R: they don't have to be locked against the bed ends. they pull on the belt to adjust it
Mar 13, 2015 9:13 AM - Ben R: so, screw those in to tension the belt.
Mar 13, 2015 9:13 AM - Ben R: anything else loose?
Mar 13, 2015 9:13 AM - Ben R: can you move the main drive pulley?
Mar 13, 2015 9:13 AM - BryZad: nahh looks and feels all tight
Mar 13, 2015 9:14 AM - Ben R: hmmm... well.. maybe it was your wire conduit?
Mar 13, 2015 9:14 AM - Ben R: do a test box
Mar 13, 2015 9:14 AM - Ben R: and sit there and listen for binding
Mar 13, 2015 9:15 AM - Ben R: I'd still check the set screws with an allen.. but .. whatever is easiest
Mar 13, 2015 9:15 AM - BryZad: i printed another piece this morning and no problem wonder if the belt was loos
Mar 13, 2015 9:15 AM - Ben R: watch it and see what it does
Mar 13, 2015 9:15 AM - Ben R: belt loosness jumps teeth
Mar 13, 2015 9:15 AM - Ben R: clear cut lines.. not waves
Mar 13, 2015 9:16 AM - Ben R: actually with that thickness.. maybe those are tooth shifts?
Mar 13, 2015 9:16 AM - Ben R: can you tell if it is wavy or steppy?
Mar 13, 2015 9:16 AM - BryZad: steps
Mar 13, 2015 9:17 AM - Ben R: http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/23-a-visual-ultimaker-troubleshooting-guide
Mar 13, 2015 9:17 AM - Ben R: fyi
Mar 13, 2015 9:17 AM - BryZad: almost like the bed got stuc or bumped
Mar 13, 2015 9:17 AM - Ben R: so a single layer at a time not progressive?
Mar 13, 2015 9:17 AM - Ben R: like.. I mean.. its abrupt each time
Mar 13, 2015 9:18 AM - BryZad: yea like one or two layers off and then ok
Mar 13, 2015 9:18 AM - Ben R:
Mar 13, 2015 9:19 AM - Ben R: that's a terribly loose belt or jammed axis
Mar 13, 2015 9:19 AM - Mike Glass: or sticky bearing
Mar 13, 2015 9:19 AM - Ben R: yea.. jammin' axis
Mar 13, 2015 9:19 AM - Mike Glass: thats exactly what happened to me bad bearing
Mar 13, 2015 9:19 AM - Ben R: your gear heart shifted or like brizzad's
Mar 13, 2015 9:19 AM - BryZad: well i will print a few more random pieces i need and look at them

 

Mar 13, 2015 9:20 AM - Ben R: and listen while printing
Mar 13, 2015 9:20 AM - Ben R: watch it
Mar 13, 2015 9:20 AM - Ben R: if its a bearing, or a loose belt... you'll hear it
Mar 13, 2015 9:20 AM - Ben R: or see it in the case of the bearing.. it can start taking the round out of your round rods
Mar 13, 2015 9:23 AM - Mike Glass: take your belt off and move your carriage back and forth to see if it is smooth.
Mar 13, 2015 9:24 AM - BryZad: i will have to try that
Mar 13, 2015 9:24 AM - BryZad: seems smooth even with the belt
Mar 13, 2015 9:24 AM - BryZad: after i disable the steppers
Mar 13, 2015 9:24 AM - Ben R: of gorf
Mar 13, 2015 9:25 AM - Ben R: don't force the stepper
Mar 13, 2015 9:25 AM - BryZad: i dont
Mar 13, 2015 9:25 AM - Mike Glass: yep or just shut it off
Mar 13, 2015 9:25 AM - BryZad: i have a xxl display
Mar 13, 2015 9:26 AM - BryZad: so i can manual unlock everything
Mar 13, 2015 9:26 AM - Ben R: yea
Mar 13, 2015 9:26 AM - BryZad: i re-greased the smooth rods to
Mar 13, 2015 9:27 AM - Ben R: I really think the extra X is a bit much. It's like XL. mine is like medium and its not much smaller
Mar 13, 2015 9:27 AM - Ben R: no real need, but not negative.. something happened.
Mar 13, 2015 9:27 AM - Ben R: your belt is good? you can "twang" it
Mar 13, 2015 9:27 AM - Ben R: its a low twang
Mar 13, 2015 9:27 AM - Ben R: twong
Mar 13, 2015 9:28 AM - Ben R: I've tightened min up till it was squeaky then backed it off... seems to work well
Mar 13, 2015 9:29 AM - BryZad: i like it cause i can read and on the other side of the room and i like i can see the files i print from sd
Mar 13, 2015 9:31 AM - Ben R: oh an lcd is mandatory
Mar 13, 2015 9:31 AM - BryZad: yea when i was printing from a dest top sucked
Mar 13, 2015 9:32 AM - Ben R: and for ... well I bet robo could get that thing on there for 2-5 dollars
Mar 13, 2015 9:32 AM - Ben R: only cost a few more for the customer..
Mar 13, 2015 9:32 AM - Ben R: Should come with it
Mar 13, 2015 9:33 AM - Ben R: and a full size SD reader .. jeeze.. its not a cell phone
Mar 13, 2015 9:34 AM - Ben R: heck even if you go with a branded one, they're like 20 bucks
Mar 13, 2015 9:34 AM - BryZad: thats why the give you the adapter sd
Mar 13, 2015 9:34 AM - Ben R: I don't have little girl sized fingers.. and its easy to missplace
Mar 13, 2015 9:34 AM - Ben R: misplace
Mar 13, 2015 9:34 AM - Ben R: is the point.
Mar 13, 2015 10:46 AM - jbigler1986: MK you here?
Mar 13, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Glass: anybody?
Mar 13, 2015 11:05 AM - jbigler1986: hola
Mar 13, 2015 11:06 AM - jbigler1986: having issues i'm trying to fix
Mar 13, 2015 11:06 AM - Mike Glass: what up
Mar 13, 2015 11:06 AM - jbigler1986: Would just stop extruding during print
Mar 13, 2015 11:07 AM - jbigler1986: Not jammed. Literally would stop trying to extrude. I think it was the firmware version. Updated it and testing right now.
Mar 13, 2015 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: Think it's fixed. Wouldn't get this far at all before
Mar 13, 2015 11:09 AM - jbigler1986: How is the tool holder going?
Mar 13, 2015 11:19 AM - Mike Glass: Done I think, shoot you pic when get back to my desk
Mar 13, 2015 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: ok
Mar 13, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: On my phone now out in the shop
Mar 13, 2015 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: Finished first print with e3d
Mar 13, 2015 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: Back to good results again.
Mar 13, 2015 11:23 AM - Mike Glass: Did you get a fat nozzle for it
Mar 13, 2015 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: I did. Probably won't get it until monday though
Mar 13, 2015 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: Had it delivered to my work and we are closed on weekends
Mar 13, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: Also did you finish that mount?
Mar 13, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: The camera one
Mar 13, 2015 11:42 AM - Ben R: no solidworks for MAC? suck
Mar 13, 2015 11:48 AM - Mike Glass: http://i.imgur.com/HvcIgpg.jpg
Mar 13, 2015 11:49 AM - jbigler1986: perfect
Mar 13, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: see I even put the big scraper in
Mar 13, 2015 11:51 AM - jbigler1986:
Mar 13, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: so not sure what the best way to print this would be
Mar 13, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: wonder if two pieces would be better or just print as it sites
Mar 13, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: sits
Mar 13, 2015 11:52 AM - jbigler1986: Print as it sits. Doesn't look like there will be any issues
Mar 13, 2015 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: Can you pm me the file when you get a chance so I can print it tomorrow? Calling it a night
Mar 13, 2015 12:15 PM - Mike Glass: sure
Mar 13, 2015 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: Question
Mar 13, 2015 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: My nozzle is grinding on the previous layer. Suggestions?
Mar 13, 2015 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: Seems that is only happens on the first like 3 or 4 layers. After that it's fine
Mar 13, 2015 12:35 PM - jbigler1986: Dropping the temp 5 degrees seems to have fixed it
Mar 13, 2015 6:38 PM - TechSupportGo: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/20039527
Mar 13, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: What r u printing

 

Mar 13, 2015 10:19 PM - Mike Glass: Como estes
Mar 13, 2015 10:33 PM - jbigler1986: Hola
Mar 13, 2015 10:34 PM - jbigler1986: Question for you genius
Mar 13, 2015 10:37 PM - jbigler1986: Using repetier host and slic3r. During prints my z will just lower and completely smash into the print usually knocking it off. It keeps printing at that height that it lowered to. Would that be a software/slicer issue?
Mar 13, 2015 11:24 PM - Mike Glass: it this your initial z height
Mar 13, 2015 11:33 PM - jbigler1986: Well I moved to mattercontrol. Changed the setting to the same as I had in slic3r. It's almost done with a fan duct and it looks awesome. Idk what is going on with repetier
Mar 13, 2015 11:37 PM - jbigler1986: Same z offset that I was using in repetier. For some reason mattercontrol just works for me. Stick with what works I guess.
Mar 14, 2015 12:29 AM - Mike Glass: where are you putting the offset inrepetier?
Mar 14, 2015 1:07 AM - jbigler1986: The spot you are supposed to. Lol
Mar 14, 2015 1:09 AM - jbigler1986: Configure, printer settings
Mar 14, 2015 1:24 AM - TechSupportGo: i had something hard in my extruder lol
Mar 14, 2015 1:24 AM - TechSupportGo: now i have to start over
Mar 14, 2015 1:24 AM - TechSupportGo: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:369594/#files
Mar 14, 2015 1:58 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
Mar 14, 2015 1:59 AM - TechSupportGo: morning
Mar 14, 2015 2:02 AM - jbigler1986: Morning MK
Mar 14, 2015 2:03 AM - Mike Kelly: how's everyone
Mar 14, 2015 2:03 AM - jbigler1986: I had to flash the v5 firmware. The v2 firmware from your thread have me huge issues
Mar 14, 2015 2:03 AM - jbigler1986: It stopped extruding complete
Mar 14, 2015 2:03 AM - jbigler1986: Not jammed. Just stopped trying
Mar 14, 2015 2:04 AM - Mike Kelly: uh ok
Mar 14, 2015 2:04 AM - Mike Kelly: no idea
Mar 14, 2015 2:04 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Weird
Mar 14, 2015 2:05 AM - Mike Kelly: did you get the right firmware
Mar 14, 2015 2:06 AM - jbigler1986: Yep. Printing good now that I moved to mattercontrol. Lol
Mar 14, 2015 2:06 AM - Mike Kelly: no i mean like which one of mine did you use
Mar 14, 2015 2:06 AM - jbigler1986: Oh. The one from e3d thread
Mar 14, 2015 2:06 AM - Mike Kelly: ...
Mar 14, 2015 2:06 AM - Mike Kelly: there's 3
Mar 14, 2015 2:08 AM - jbigler1986: M8 auto level
Mar 14, 2015 2:10 AM - Mike Kelly: then you installed the 7_17 from their site
Mar 14, 2015 2:10 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Mar 14, 2015 2:10 AM - jbigler1986: After making the edits
Mar 14, 2015 2:12 AM - Mike Kelly: yup, not to call you a liar, but there's absolutely no major difference between the two that would cause issues
Mar 14, 2015 2:12 AM - TechSupportGo: MK I got that onshape account
Mar 14, 2015 2:12 AM - Mike Kelly: were you printing at 195
Mar 14, 2015 2:13 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like i didn't set the min temp
Mar 14, 2015 2:14 AM - Mike Glass: hello gents
Mar 14, 2015 2:15 AM - jbigler1986: Yes. I was printing at 195
Mar 14, 2015 2:15 AM - TechSupportGo: yeaaa
Mar 14, 2015 2:15 AM - TechSupportGo: I already broke my onshape account
Mar 14, 2015 2:16 AM - Mike Glass: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd...._=1433520291_55fc91ad2b20dbe737bb48a2bb4821ac
Mar 14, 2015 2:16 AM - TechSupportGo: just freezes when I open a new doc
Mar 14, 2015 2:17 AM - Mike Kelly: lol wow
Mar 14, 2015 2:17 AM - Mike Glass: I need a sandwich now
Mar 14, 2015 2:20 AM - TechSupportGo: I can open public docs just now create or open my own, and I like less meat on my sandwich
Mar 14, 2015 2:20 AM - jbigler1986: Tool holder? Lol
Mar 14, 2015 2:20 AM - Mike Glass: no curtains?
Mar 14, 2015 2:21 AM - Mike Glass: IM on revision 6 now..lol
Mar 14, 2015 2:22 AM - TechSupportGo: is that going over the top of the robo?
Mar 14, 2015 2:24 AM - Mike Glass: what going over the top?
Mar 14, 2015 2:25 AM - TechSupportGo: the tool holder
Mar 14, 2015 2:25 AM - TechSupportGo: it looks like a round cap that might hang over the edge of the top
Mar 14, 2015 2:26 AM - Mike Glass: what are you looking at?
Mar 14, 2015 2:27 AM - Mike Glass: the pic from last night, that fits on the side of the robo
Mar 14, 2015 2:27 AM - Mike Glass: but yes the top
Mar 14, 2015 2:32 AM - Mike Kelly: ok just fixed the firmware to reduce the extrusion minimum
Mar 14, 2015 2:34 AM - TechSupportGo: i need a new extruder tip any suggestions?
Mar 14, 2015 2:36 AM - Mike Glass: 1.2 woohoo
Mar 14, 2015 2:37 AM - TechSupportGo:
Mar 14, 2015 2:37 AM - TechSupportGo:
Mar 14, 2015 2:39 AM - Mike Kelly: e3dv6
Mar 14, 2015 2:41 AM - Mike Glass: printed solid has the v6 that fit the hex. I have the .8 form them.
Mar 14, 2015 2:46 AM - Mike Glass: XT at .75 seems to work better
Mar 14, 2015 2:47 AM - Mike Glass: 75% flow rate that is
Mar 14, 2015 2:57 AM - Mike Kelly: probably need to print it slower
Mar 14, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Glass: im at like 20 now
Mar 14, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Kelly: jesus
Mar 14, 2015 2:59 AM - Mike Kelly: ok nevermind
Mar 14, 2015 3:00 AM - Mike Glass: still looks like crap
Mar 14, 2015 3:08 AM - JeffTheMess: hi all, still not getting my bed to heat up, finally I have time to bug everyone here for there brillant minds
Mar 14, 2015 3:09 AM - Mike Glass: I use a candle, if that helps
Mar 14, 2015 3:10 AM - Mike Kelly: did you measure the resistance
Mar 14, 2015 3:11 AM - JeffTheMess: im reading zero at the board but since robo did such a nice job at neatly tucking the thermistor under the bed I have no access to it....to check if the thermistor is working right
Mar 14, 2015 3:13 AM - Mike Kelly: what about the heater
Mar 14, 2015 3:13 AM - JeffTheMess: same im getting zero
Mar 14, 2015 3:14 AM - Mike Kelly: then follow the wire inch by inch
Mar 14, 2015 3:14 AM - Mike Kelly: do you have a ribbon cable
Mar 14, 2015 3:15 AM - JeffTheMess: no ribbon cable just wires
Mar 14, 2015 3:16 AM - Mike Kelly: do you have a connector
Mar 14, 2015 3:17 AM - JeffTheMess: no
Mar 14, 2015 3:17 AM - Mike Kelly: how old is your printer
Mar 14, 2015 3:17 AM - JeffTheMess: nov 2014
Mar 14, 2015 3:18 AM - Mike Kelly: lift up the glass and look underneath, you either have a connector or a ribbon cable
Mar 14, 2015 3:18 AM - Mike Kelly: take a picture of the under side of the printer if you claim to not
Mar 14, 2015 3:18 AM - JeffTheMess: sorry the connector
Mar 14, 2015 3:18 AM - Mike Kelly: measure the resistance at the connector
Mar 14, 2015 3:20 AM - JeffTheMess: well thank my lucky star all wire were completely cut off some how
Mar 14, 2015 3:20 AM - JeffTheMess: the zip tie was way too tight
Mar 14, 2015 3:21 AM - Mike Kelly: i see
Mar 14, 2015 3:22 AM - jbigler1986: Should I slow down travel? Gets really loud like it's slipping or something
Mar 14, 2015 3:22 AM - jbigler1986: When it makes big y axis moves
Mar 14, 2015 3:23 AM - Mike Kelly: does it skip
Mar 14, 2015 3:23 AM - JeffTheMess: as always mike thanks for compling with my illiteracy
Mar 14, 2015 3:24 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah I think that's what's it's doing
Mar 14, 2015 3:25 AM - Mike Kelly: belt might be too tight
Mar 14, 2015 3:25 AM - Mike Kelly: or wires getting caught
Mar 14, 2015 3:27 AM - jbigler1986: How do I loosen it? I never tightened the y belt. Or to loose maybe?
Mar 14, 2015 3:28 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe too loose i dunno
Mar 14, 2015 3:29 AM - Mike Kelly: printers make noise for a lot of reasons

 

Mar 14, 2015 3:29 AM - jbigler1986: Well it's fine making small y movements. Then when it gets a big one it decided
Mar 14, 2015 3:29 AM - jbigler1986: To get loud
Mar 14, 2015 3:32 AM - Mike Kelly: still not helpful
Mar 14, 2015 3:34 AM - jbigler1986: I will take off the plate and check in a few
Mar 14, 2015 3:47 AM - Mike Glass: Look at this, even at 20mms http://imgur.com/iaAzIIP
Mar 14, 2015 3:49 AM - Mike Kelly: this is why i don't use slic3r
Mar 14, 2015 3:49 AM - Mike Kelly: is this with .8?
Mar 14, 2015 4:03 AM - Mike Glass: yes at .4
Mar 14, 2015 4:04 AM - Mike Glass: whats wrong with slicer, I cant run xt with cura
Mar 14, 2015 4:05 AM - Mike Kelly: well you can't run it with slic3r either it seems
Mar 14, 2015 4:06 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. Skeinforge maybe
Mar 14, 2015 4:07 AM - Mike Glass: This may be underextrusion though. but works best with hex infill
Mar 14, 2015 4:15 AM - Mike Glass: guess will see when top layer starts to fill if it is a failure.
Mar 14, 2015 4:16 AM - Mike Kelly: looks like a paste
Mar 14, 2015 4:16 AM - Mike Glass: nice thing about xt is you can sand it to I nice finish
Mar 14, 2015 4:16 AM - Mike Glass: you think to cold?
Mar 14, 2015 4:16 AM - Mike Glass: running around 239
Mar 14, 2015 4:18 AM - Mike Kelly: could be yeah
Mar 14, 2015 4:18 AM - Mike Kelly: doesn't that stuff want like 250
Mar 14, 2015 4:20 AM - Mike Glass: what I seen 240. not running a fan either.
Mar 14, 2015 4:21 AM - Mike Glass: this is the first print that looks good on the outside edge with xt, usually its looks like ribbing.
Mar 14, 2015 5:04 AM - jbigler1986: Ok. I may have found the problem
Mar 14, 2015 5:05 AM - jbigler1986: The little philips screw holding the tensioner on the front of the build plate was loose and that made the belt loose.
Mar 14, 2015 5:05 AM - Mike Glass: you installed it upside down?
Mar 14, 2015 5:05 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. Yes
Mar 14, 2015 5:06 AM - Mike Glass: I just reach under and check that every once and awhile.
Mar 14, 2015 5:06 AM - jbigler1986: Whats a good test for y fast y movement
Mar 14, 2015 5:26 AM - jbigler1986: V6 on the holder. That's funny
Mar 14, 2015 5:26 AM - jbigler1986: Send me what you got. I want to add a few things to it too. Por favor
Mar 14, 2015 5:28 AM - Mike Glass: do you want the whole thing or just the tool carriage
Mar 14, 2015 5:35 AM - jbigler1986: Whole shabang
Mar 14, 2015 5:37 AM - jbigler1986: Oh. Did you finish the camera mount?
Mar 14, 2015 5:38 AM - Mike Glass: um no dont really know what you wanted, it sits so high not sure it would really work as good as the other mount.
Mar 14, 2015 5:40 AM - Mike Glass: check your pm
Mar 14, 2015 5:43 AM - jbigler1986: OK.
Mar 14, 2015 5:43 AM - jbigler1986: Printing a huge bowl right now
Mar 14, 2015 5:47 AM - jbigler1986: Can I raise nozzle during travel in repetier/slic3r
Mar 14, 2015 6:01 AM - jbigler1986: Nevermind. Found it. Lift Z
Mar 14, 2015 6:21 AM - jbigler1986: Thanks mike
Mar 14, 2015 6:30 AM - Mike Glass: This is taking forever to print
Mar 14, 2015 6:31 AM - Mike Glass: yep .075 works good.
Mar 14, 2015 6:37 AM - Jacob Kirsch: Looks like all of the URLs to pages from pre-upgrade no longer work...
Mar 14, 2015 6:38 AM - Jacob Kirsch: any way to get that to Harry?
Mar 14, 2015 7:25 AM - jbigler1986: Send him a message
Mar 14, 2015 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/L7r6Ski
Mar 14, 2015 7:30 AM - jbigler1986: 2 hours in
Mar 14, 2015 7:56 AM - Mike Glass: have I told you how much I hate xt latley
Mar 14, 2015 8:46 AM - jbigler1986: Lol. Why is that
Mar 14, 2015 8:59 AM - jbigler1986: What were you printing?
Mar 14, 2015 8:59 AM - Mike Glass: just a waste
Mar 14, 2015 9:01 AM - Mike Glass: took me all day just to print the the tool holder part, just the rectangle part, at like 20mm speed and turned down extrusion to 75 to get it not ball up, then it doesnt fill in the top layers very good.
Mar 14, 2015 9:02 AM - Mike Glass: Oh and it warped as bad as ABS.
Mar 14, 2015 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: Damn. Should I print it in PLA or ABS
Mar 14, 2015 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: Haven't printed ABS on the robo yet. I did on my UP but warping killed me
Mar 14, 2015 9:05 AM - Mike Glass: Problem is the bed is not the same temp throughout, so maybe if you use brim it may help.
Mar 14, 2015 9:06 AM - jbigler1986: What is another high temp, low or no warp, strong material
Mar 14, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: brass
Mar 14, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Mar 14, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: I just ordered Nylon for that purpose, and tglase, be here Monday.
Mar 14, 2015 9:08 AM - jbigler1986: Nylon temp has to be really high doesn't it?
Mar 14, 2015 9:09 AM - Mike Glass: 245
Mar 14, 2015 9:10 AM - jbigler1986: Oh that's not bad. Threaded thermistor isn't supposed to go about 260
Mar 14, 2015 9:13 AM - Mike Glass: here is the tglase I ordered. http://www.taulman3d.com/t-glase-features.html
Mar 14, 2015 9:15 AM - jbigler1986: Food safe. Might have to get some. Wish there were 3d printing stores or at least sections at stores with various different filament
Mar 14, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Glass: Printed solid, couple days away..well maybe not for you..lol
Mar 14, 2015 9:17 AM - jbigler1986: Not his fault on that. Lol. Stupid usps. Should have my .8 monday
Mar 14, 2015 9:18 AM - jbigler1986: Will probably order a spool of tglase Monday from him
Mar 14, 2015 9:28 AM - jbigler1986: So the tool holder didn't turn out?
Mar 14, 2015 9:28 AM - jbigler1986: Did you print with support
Mar 14, 2015 9:32 AM - TechSupportGo: i love everyone here
Mar 14, 2015 9:32 AM - TechSupportGo: lol
Mar 14, 2015 9:32 AM - jbigler1986: Woah
Mar 14, 2015 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: Anyone tried to print a working wrench yet?
Mar 14, 2015 9:35 AM - Mike Glass: Here's what I ended up http://imgur.com/F7uzdLE
Mar 14, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Glass: Hey TSG, we love you too.
Mar 14, 2015 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: Awesome. Did you use support or was it not needed
Mar 14, 2015 9:45 AM - TechSupportGo: ahahaha I am doing GTA5 iest
Mar 14, 2015 9:45 AM - TechSupportGo: hiest
Mar 14, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Glass: I Just did the tool part, the blue was a failed print for the mount.
Mar 14, 2015 9:46 AM - TechSupportGo: and printing dragons at the same time, gotta love technology
Mar 14, 2015 9:47 AM - jbigler1986: I'm printing a big ass bowl for my wife right now
Mar 14, 2015 9:48 AM - jbigler1986: In gold color. First time using it. Looks good
Mar 14, 2015 9:50 AM - Ben R: so is tglase hydrophilic? no mention on the couple pages I saw..
Mar 14, 2015 9:52 AM - Ben R: reads like PET G, but I can't find any info on a T copolymer
Mar 14, 2015 10:09 AM - Mike Glass: that gold look nice.
Mar 14, 2015 10:10 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/3Gn6K7E Just keeps growing. Lol
Mar 14, 2015 10:10 AM - Mike Glass: dude if you had a .8 you be done already..lol
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Ben R: he does
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Glass: I might drill out this 5 I have to a 1mm
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Ben R: don't he? I thought he was printing with .8 at .4
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - jbigler1986: Monday I will
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Ben R: oh.. i misunderstoo
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Ben R: d
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Glass: yep he's on .4 still
Mar 14, 2015 10:11 AM - Ben R: I have one in my coat pocket
Mar 14, 2015 10:12 AM - Mike Glass: I have a .8 on mine most of the time
Mar 14, 2015 10:12 AM - Ben R: I want a 1mm drillbit. I have those dremel bits, they're only like .5 cm long before a big shoulder
Mar 14, 2015 10:12 AM - Ben R: so what kind of resolution is possible with a .8
Mar 14, 2015 10:14 AM - Ben R: just losing minimum wall thickness right?
Mar 14, 2015 10:14 AM - Mike Glass: I have these http://imgur.com/c1PoSNk

 

Mar 14, 2015 10:14 AM - Ben R: so..no wedges or cones
Mar 14, 2015 10:14 AM - Mike Glass: .01 to 1 mm
Mar 14, 2015 10:15 AM - Ben R: yea.. I couldn't get it started in the hole (mind you my little ones are broken or gone) and too shallow to drill out the nose from the other side
Mar 14, 2015 10:15 AM - Mike Glass: I usually print .4 or .6 with them
Mar 14, 2015 10:15 AM - Ben R: but can it do .1
Mar 14, 2015 10:15 AM - Ben R: it should go .1-.6 theorhetically
Mar 14, 2015 10:15 AM - Ben R: .7 if you want to print "clear" stuff
Mar 14, 2015 10:15 AM - Ben R: that is weak
Mar 14, 2015 10:16 AM - Mike Glass: Actually its stronger
Mar 14, 2015 10:16 AM - Mike Glass: less layers to fail
Mar 14, 2015 10:16 AM - Ben R: Oh.. but i can break it along the layers cuz you're laying down cylinders not ... whatever.. flat ovals
Mar 14, 2015 10:16 AM - Ben R: round rectangles
Mar 14, 2015 10:16 AM - Ben R: less surface contact between layers.
Mar 14, 2015 10:17 AM - Ben R:
Mar 14, 2015 10:17 AM - Mike Glass: nope, laying down ovals just like a .4 just at .6 is all
Mar 14, 2015 10:18 AM - Ben R: should delaminate easier.
Mar 14, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Glass: I havent tried tglass yet, will be here monday.
Mar 14, 2015 10:18 AM - Ben R: I mean... .7.
Mar 14, 2015 10:18 AM - Ben R: they say not to go over .75 nozzle diameter
Mar 14, 2015 10:19 AM - Mike Glass: maybe for transparency.
Mar 14, 2015 10:19 AM - Mike Glass: for wood 1.2 I guess is awesome.
Mar 14, 2015 10:19 AM - Ben R: hmm...
Mar 14, 2015 10:19 AM - Ben R: wonder how/why
Mar 14, 2015 10:19 AM - Ben R: you mean 1.2 nozzle
Mar 14, 2015 10:19 AM - Ben R: not thickness with a .8.
Mar 14, 2015 10:20 AM - Ben R: I wonder what the size of aggregate in the fiber laden filaments is.
Mar 14, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Glass: guess it depends on the filament.
Mar 14, 2015 10:21 AM - Mike Glass: They say the .8 provides a stronger structure, which I have seen personally with the bowl i have printed.
Mar 14, 2015 10:21 AM - Ben R: I'm looking forward to that.
Mar 14, 2015 10:22 AM - Mike Glass: it is only one perimeter and that sucker is stout.
Mar 14, 2015 10:22 AM - Ben R: So much of what I print is purely utilitarian. I don't need to print GROOT every day
Mar 14, 2015 10:22 AM - Ben R: sounds great
Mar 14, 2015 10:22 AM - Ben R: and last one I saw I think you said was .4mm height.. would be .8 or just over .8 wide
Mar 14, 2015 10:22 AM - Ben R: right?
Mar 14, 2015 10:23 AM - Ben R: With the "fibrous filament" IT really seems like the included aggregate is too fine to offer anything more than filler. Like talc in bondo
Mar 14, 2015 10:23 AM - Ben R: actually weakens it.
Mar 14, 2015 10:24 AM - Ben R: carbon fiber? Is it doing anything?
Mar 14, 2015 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/robo-on-steroids.4716/
Mar 14, 2015 10:26 AM - Ben R: also.. respect for printing at a reasonable speed ( i think I watched that print live)
Mar 14, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Glass: I should do another one tonight, need to find another model, I have yellow green, blue, to choose.
Mar 14, 2015 10:27 AM - Ben R: you were doing translucent PLA right?
Mar 14, 2015 10:28 AM - Ben R: and it's not like.. slide cover weak?
Mar 14, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Glass: yep just some cheap junk.
Mar 14, 2015 10:29 AM - Ben R: that's the best kind of junk
Mar 14, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Glass: 2.2 lbs for $24
Mar 14, 2015 10:30 AM - Ben R: yea... That's where I like to be. I got burned once. Stuff is just.. I have no idea what's wrong with it
Mar 14, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Glass: weak or thin?
Mar 14, 2015 10:30 AM - Ben R: just won't print right.
Mar 14, 2015 10:31 AM - Ben R: ITs very cloggy (abs). I think the diameter must be largely irregular. It's also not terribly smooth .. like.. kinks in it
Mar 14, 2015 10:31 AM - Ben R: when I got it it was soaking wet
Mar 14, 2015 10:31 AM - Ben R: It may have had some chemical change.. it may have inclusions
Mar 14, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Glass: or rat hairs.
Mar 14, 2015 10:31 AM - Ben R: something
Mar 14, 2015 10:32 AM - Ben R: It looks good. get a good first layer or 2. come back later.. and its all falling apart.. or jammed, or couldn't extrude well enough to do supports
Mar 14, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Glass: All I know XT, I dont like, no luck printing anything nice.
Mar 14, 2015 10:32 AM - Ben R: I thought I could use it for random junk.. but its just garbage. I keep it around for plastic welding
Mar 14, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Glass: Weed eater?
Mar 14, 2015 10:33 AM - Ben R: weed eater is decent
Mar 14, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Glass: I want to make a filament joiner, so I can join some colors together.
Mar 14, 2015 10:34 AM - Ben R: I printed some nice pistol grips with them
Mar 14, 2015 10:34 AM - Ben R: with it
Mar 14, 2015 10:34 AM - Ben R: just as good as my taulman once I dried it out
Mar 14, 2015 10:34 AM - Ben R: Maybe even better
Mar 14, 2015 10:34 AM - Ben R: But not all that much cheaper...
Mar 14, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Glass: You have all the plastic in the world around you too bad its not cost effective to use it.
Mar 14, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Glass: I need to find somebody that has gotten octoprint to work on windows
Mar 14, 2015 10:38 AM - Mike Glass: I have 14 tablets and would like to mount one on my robo.
Mar 14, 2015 10:42 AM - Ben R: ha
Mar 14, 2015 10:42 AM - Ben R: so.. maybe you know... off the top of your head
Mar 14, 2015 10:42 AM - Ben R: the plastic they typically use in cars.. I mean, consoles, dash etc... it has decent properties (at least when injection moulded)
Mar 14, 2015 10:42 AM - Ben R: know what it is?
Mar 14, 2015 10:44 AM - Mike Glass: abs
Mar 14, 2015 10:44 AM - Mike Glass: I used to use it in the car audio industry.
Mar 14, 2015 10:46 AM - Ben R: thats what I thought
Mar 14, 2015 10:46 AM - Ben R: nothing like what we print with.. or at least when used like we do
Mar 14, 2015 10:47 AM - Ben R: other than its impossibility when trying to do simple repairs
Mar 14, 2015 10:47 AM - Ben R: simply
Mar 14, 2015 10:47 AM - jbigler1986: I second octoprint on Windows. I saw a guide somewhere on how to set it up. I didn't feel like spending the time on compiling the stuff for it though
Mar 14, 2015 10:47 AM - Ben R: pretty happy with the PET for resolution and strength.
Mar 14, 2015 10:47 AM - Ben R: a bit gooey at times
Mar 14, 2015 10:49 AM - Mike Glass: I have the guide you dont have to compile but couldnt get python pip to work
Mar 14, 2015 10:49 AM - Mike Glass: I have linux on one maybe better luck with that one.
Mar 14, 2015 10:50 AM - Ben R: pressed in the bearings like nuttin. Tight as hell and didn't crack, creek or bend
Mar 14, 2015 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: I couldn't access it outside of my home network. Didn't feel like calling brighthouse for them to open ports
Mar 14, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Glass: what brand Ben
Mar 14, 2015 10:52 AM - Ben R: eSun
Mar 14, 2015 10:52 AM - Ben R: PETG
Mar 14, 2015 10:52 AM - Ben R: I have red blue and clear
Mar 14, 2015 10:52 AM - Ben R: the red is gooey.. blue and clear print the same
Mar 14, 2015 10:53 AM - Ben R: 35 bucks a kg
Mar 14, 2015 10:53 AM - Ben R: don't have to store it with desiccant
Mar 14, 2015 10:53 AM - Ben R: bridges like magic
Mar 14, 2015 10:54 AM - Ben R: 36 bucks.. but available on amazon prime
Mar 14, 2015 10:57 AM - Ben R: I can't get over the physical characteristics. print it solid and its hard, print it thin and its flexible..
Mar 14, 2015 10:57 AM - Ben R: invulnerable to most solvents
Mar 14, 2015 10:57 AM - Ben R: worst part about it is TG is only 74C.. No dishwasher temps.
Mar 14, 2015 10:57 AM - Ben R: Some might complain of painting or color availability. I'm not all that worried about it
Mar 14, 2015 10:59 AM - Mike Glass: suppose you cant paint it right?
Mar 14, 2015 10:59 AM - Mike Glass: Just like blister pack plastic.
Mar 14, 2015 11:01 AM - Ben R: you can paint it a bit with paints intended for PC

 

Mar 14, 2015 11:01 AM - Ben R: tamiya paint you know
Mar 14, 2015 11:01 AM - Ben R: it's used on a lot of the heli models now
Mar 14, 2015 11:01 AM - Ben R: and car bodies
Mar 14, 2015 11:02 AM - Ben R: I tested it with krylon fusion
Mar 14, 2015 11:02 AM - Mike Glass: guess thats true.
Mar 14, 2015 11:02 AM - Ben R: it stuck as good as anything sticks to anything
Mar 14, 2015 11:02 AM - Ben R: Once you throw down a primer coat of a fusing paint, you can paint it with whatever
Mar 14, 2015 11:03 AM - Ben R: but you've seen PET put in the dishwasher.. or near a flame. deforms horribly
Mar 14, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Glass: does acetone attack it?
Mar 14, 2015 11:03 AM - Ben R: no.
Mar 14, 2015 11:03 AM - Ben R: well.. pretty sure.
Mar 14, 2015 11:03 AM - Ben R: Its almost impervious
Mar 14, 2015 11:03 AM - Ben R: can hold gas
Mar 14, 2015 11:04 AM - Ben R: no.. it hates acetone
Mar 14, 2015 11:04 AM - Mike Glass: so must be close to PETT
Mar 14, 2015 11:04 AM - Ben R: it describes the same
Mar 14, 2015 11:05 AM - Ben R: just a tiny bit hotter
Mar 14, 2015 11:05 AM - Ben R: and explains clearly that it is hydrophobic
Mar 14, 2015 11:05 AM - Ben R: I can't find the PETT hydro friendship status
Mar 14, 2015 11:05 AM - Ben R: if it says nothing, i assume it means it has nothing to brag about.. but then, usually a warning so People use it right
Mar 14, 2015 11:05 AM - Ben R: PETG brags on it's hydrophobia
Mar 14, 2015 11:06 AM - Ben R: hydrophobic properties... more correctly
Mar 14, 2015 11:06 AM - Mike Glass: So no worries about storage.
Mar 14, 2015 11:06 AM - Ben R: exactly... sits on my floor
Mar 14, 2015 11:06 AM - Ben R: while my other filaments get ruined just from printing.
Mar 14, 2015 11:07 AM - Ben R: well.. you know.. wet
Mar 14, 2015 11:07 AM - Ben R: I have one of these in a pelican case..
Mar 14, 2015 11:08 AM - Ben R: although mine hasn't been rebranded with a gun manufacturer
Mar 14, 2015 11:09 AM - Mike Glass: I need to get one of those
Mar 14, 2015 11:09 AM - Ben R: it is working so far. I originally was using just packets in a ,,, whatcha call it..
Mar 14, 2015 11:09 AM - Ben R: space bag
Mar 14, 2015 11:10 AM - Ben R: then one day I found that my space bag had been ripped open on the bottom for who knows how long
Mar 14, 2015 11:10 AM - Ben R: sitting in a damp basement.
Mar 14, 2015 11:10 AM - Ben R: A few days of oven time later
Mar 14, 2015 11:10 AM - Ben R: I was about back to printing
Mar 14, 2015 11:10 AM - Ben R: Since then, I've been good with a pelican case and this. But.. my case is full .. no more hydrophilic filaments for me for now.
Mar 14, 2015 11:11 AM - Mike Glass: Its dry here so not a big problem, just using the desicant packs I find and through in the tote.
Mar 14, 2015 11:12 AM - Ben R: yea.. I can imagine.
Mar 14, 2015 11:12 AM - Ben R: Not the same here... muggy as crap..
Mar 14, 2015 11:13 AM - Ben R: even in the winter, we get warmer (50s) days with rain for weeks on end
Mar 14, 2015 11:13 AM - Ben R: I often debate the virtues of moving out to the high desert.
Mar 14, 2015 11:13 AM - Ben R: but.. only after kids graduate high school
Mar 14, 2015 11:14 AM - Ben R: I'm not gay.. but tuscon is "ok"... flagstaff etc.. not IN the city.. but as a base city.
Mar 14, 2015 11:15 AM - Ben R: depends on if I work after I retire or not.
Mar 14, 2015 11:15 AM - Ben R: and if the wife does.. geeze.. 230 work days left... I need to figure out my plans
Mar 14, 2015 11:16 AM - Mike Glass: Montana is pretty dry, not like oregon or washington, even though we are generally colder. it was effin 70 today.
Mar 14, 2015 11:18 AM - Ben R: are you in montana?
Mar 14, 2015 11:19 AM - Mike Glass: Yup right by the continental divide
Mar 14, 2015 11:20 AM - Ben R: I have never been to montana, dakotas, wyoming, idaho. Need to check those off. Been everywhere else. well.. I don't know if I've ever stopped in nevada.
Mar 14, 2015 11:20 AM - Ben R: I work with a montanan? montanite? She's pretty level headed and cool, picks up on things. No cultural handicaps
Mar 14, 2015 11:21 AM - Ben R: that says something
Mar 14, 2015 11:21 AM - Ben R: not like when I get a south easter...
Mar 14, 2015 11:21 AM - Ben R: "what are you trying to say?"
Mar 14, 2015 11:21 AM - Mike Glass: Ive been to most except between colorado and Texas area.
Mar 14, 2015 11:23 AM - Ben R: I lived in texas for a while. Hated the weather, and my job, but the people were nice.. its still a bit of a culture of ignorance
Mar 14, 2015 11:24 AM - Ben R: but good food
Mar 14, 2015 11:24 AM - Ben R: and in the east.. they abuse drugs in ways other people don't think of
Mar 14, 2015 11:24 AM - Ben R: sippin on the sizzurp
Mar 14, 2015 11:24 AM - Ben R: etc
Mar 14, 2015 11:25 AM - Ben R: Growing up in upstate ny and living in hawaii most of my working life, I find the western US distances hard to deal with
Mar 14, 2015 11:25 AM - Ben R: "we're sending you to a urologist, so, you'll need a plane ticket to boise"
Mar 14, 2015 11:26 AM - Mike Glass: yep sounds like here.
Mar 14, 2015 11:26 AM - Ben R: as I get older, it bothers me
Mar 14, 2015 11:26 AM - Ben R: when you're young, no kids. "screw the world, I have amazon"
Mar 14, 2015 11:27 AM - Ben R: Just drove cross country and back without using interstates.
Mar 14, 2015 11:27 AM - Ben R: Kept fantasizing about "what happens if a drunk runs into me and we're all traumatically injured?"
Mar 14, 2015 11:28 AM - Ben R: it would be an hour before the next car came.. much less real help
Mar 14, 2015 11:28 AM - Ben R: but.. completely different country off the interstate
Mar 14, 2015 11:30 AM - Mike Glass: We drive 12 hours either direction to travel somewhere fun, so thats kinda messed up..
Mar 14, 2015 11:33 AM - Ben R: Yea... but me and the wife are down right pathologically crowd averse now a days
Mar 14, 2015 11:33 AM - Ben R: at least the crowds around here... very metro very snooty
Mar 14, 2015 11:33 AM - Ben R: rude
Mar 14, 2015 11:34 AM - Ben R: hawaii was crowded.. but you'd make friends in lines
Mar 14, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: holy crap, I just unwrapped my smooth x axis bars from robo parts and they are jacked up, just cut me. fuckers
Mar 14, 2015 11:35 AM - Ben R: SO like the ends aren't ground?
Mar 14, 2015 11:37 AM - Mike Glass: no ends are gound nice, shoot a pic
Mar 14, 2015 11:39 AM - Ben R: how does a smooth rod cut you? I can't wait to see
Mar 14, 2015 11:40 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/89BnnxE
Mar 14, 2015 11:40 AM - Ben R: WTF? nanites get into the package?
Mar 14, 2015 11:40 AM - Mike Glass: what a crock. was in bubble wrap so didnt happen in shipping
Mar 14, 2015 11:41 AM - Ben R: how do you mail out something like thata?
Mar 14, 2015 11:41 AM - Mike Glass: that was my replacement I waited a effin month
Mar 14, 2015 11:41 AM - Ben R: Amazing.. sent you someone's returned ones maybe
Mar 14, 2015 11:41 AM - Mike Glass: I ended up buying some on amazon and cutting myself
Mar 14, 2015 11:42 AM - Ben R: yea.
Mar 14, 2015 11:42 AM - Ben R: so what did you use to cut.. they're awful damn hard
Mar 14, 2015 11:43 AM - Ben R: I was thinking of upscaling the robo.. cutting the rods... I don't think I'm set up for that other than with a cutoff wheel on a grinder
Mar 14, 2015 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: Dremel.
Mar 14, 2015 11:43 AM - Ben R: oh.. so similar
Mar 14, 2015 11:44 AM - Ben R: would want a lathe or chop saw.. maybe a band saw to do it "right"
Mar 14, 2015 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: oh I just built one of these, awesome. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17101
Mar 14, 2015 11:44 AM - Ben R: mini chop saw
Mar 14, 2015 11:45 AM - Mike Glass: I just cut some more smooth rods with this and worked great
Mar 14, 2015 11:45 AM - Ben R: not bad
Mar 14, 2015 11:45 AM - Ben R: So.. you know anything about dual extrusion?
Mar 14, 2015 11:45 AM - Ben R: particularly the steps on the second extruder in the firmware
Mar 14, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: not yet, I have stuff printed for it.
Mar 14, 2015 11:46 AM - Ben R: I was wondering if it has a second set of numbers
Mar 14, 2015 11:46 AM - Ben R: for e steps
Mar 14, 2015 11:46 AM - Ben R: I have 2 different extruders.. I was hoping to use... but I may have to buy /print some parts if otherwise.. and it would never be perfect

 

Mar 14, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: I think thats in Mikes printer guide
Mar 14, 2015 11:47 AM - Ben R: yea.. I'm going to get to that research soon.
Mar 14, 2015 11:47 AM - Ben R: I'm done with the internal parts.. have to get to the firmware
Mar 14, 2015 11:47 AM - Ben R: well.. I'm at the computer now..
Mar 14, 2015 11:49 AM - Ben R: // This defines the number of extruders #define EXTRUDERS 1
Mar 14, 2015 12:22 PM - Ben R: http://www.amazon.com/Printer-Filam...qid=1426389726&sr=1-121&keywords=1.75+pla+1kg
Mar 14, 2015 12:22 PM - Ben R: ?????

Mar 14, 2015 12:26 PM - Ben R: love the seller "PCRUSH"... oh yea
Mar 14, 2015 12:27 PM - Mike Glass: I went to the sellers site and they dont have that listed..wtf
Mar 14, 2015 12:27 PM - Ben R: yea
Mar 14, 2015 12:27 PM - Ben R: right?
Mar 14, 2015 12:27 PM - Ben R: is that an amazon problem?
Mar 14, 2015 12:27 PM - Mike Glass: wierd
Mar 14, 2015 12:28 PM - Ben R: I was burned with cheap generic before
Mar 14, 2015 12:28 PM - Ben R: but.. 17 bucks per kilo
Mar 14, 2015 12:30 PM - Mike Glass: JustPLA has been good and only $22
Mar 14, 2015 12:31 PM - Mike Glass: looks like 24.99 now
Mar 14, 2015 12:31 PM - Ben R: exactly!
Mar 14, 2015 12:31 PM - Ben R: this is like.. less
Mar 14, 2015 12:31 PM - Ben R: less is always better.. till it isnt
Mar 14, 2015 12:31 PM - Ben R: I have generally found, more money = more betta with filament.
Mar 14, 2015 12:31 PM - Ben R: but marginally so
Mar 14, 2015 12:33 PM - Ben R: hatchbox is good.. IC3d and eSUN are better
Mar 14, 2015 12:33 PM - Ben R: more money than those.. not so much
Mar 14, 2015 12:33 PM - Mike Glass: I have hatchbox as well, like the abs so far, and transparent red pla.
Mar 14, 2015 12:34 PM - Ben R: everything I've hatchboxed has been as advertised and just fine
Mar 14, 2015 12:35 PM - Ben R: pla has been good.
Mar 14, 2015 12:35 PM - Ben R: I've been good with sainsmart, but a buddy says its garbage..
Mar 14, 2015 12:35 PM - Mike Glass: I have some black abs, awesome stuff
Mar 14, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: black sainsmart abs that is
Mar 14, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: and a Silver by solutiontech I really like in pla.
Mar 14, 2015 12:54 PM - Ben R: I'ts all pretty good.. I think the bad stuff is probably reject or just random bad batch.
Mar 14, 2015 12:54 PM - Ben R: more price.. more QA
Mar 14, 2015 1:48 PM - TechSupportGo: MG
Mar 14, 2015 1:51 PM - TechSupportGo: you cooking that ABS right there in your house bro?
Mar 14, 2015 2:26 PM - Mike Glass: yup, mmm

 

Mar 14, 2015 at 9:13 PM - jbigler1986: Good morning
Mar 14, 2015 at 10:02 PM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/EC5N5kt Success
Mar 14, 2015 at 11:28 PM - jbigler1986: Why does my bottom like 2 or 3 layers look like shit? All smeared and stuff. I would say to low but the skirt it prints first looks perfect.
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:03 AM - Mike Glass: what crappy software you using now..lol
Mar 15, 2015 at 3:51 AM - TechSupportGo: hello
Mar 15, 2015 at 3:54 AM - TechSupportGo: had some issues in the middle of the night that seemed to have resolved https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FWeUGKaHaxb25mOUJsZ0cyVXM/view?usp=sharing
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:01 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Tech
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:32 AM - jbigler1986: I'm back to repetier.
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:35 AM - jbigler1986: After the first layer it prints perfect.
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:36 AM - jbigler1986: Extruding to much during first layer?
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:36 AM - Mike Kelly: bigler did that guy ever get back to you on the spool holder
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:38 AM - jbigler1986: Of course not. Knew he would be a dick about it
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:38 AM - Mike Kelly: people suck
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:40 AM - jbigler1986: Agreed. I don't understand why people enjoy being a dick. They must hate their lives
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:40 AM - Mike Kelly: i figure because he was working for robo when he made it he's worries about repricussions
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:40 AM - Mike Kelly: but robo's been pretty sleezeball lately
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:41 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll just model it, it's a super simple design
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:46 AM - Mike Kelly: wow this guy sucks at modeling
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:46 AM - Mike Kelly: no wonder he didn't want to release the origin
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:46 AM - jbigler1986: Who?
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:47 AM - Mike Kelly: Allted
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:49 AM - jbigler1986: Oh. Any ideas on my first and 2nd layer issues?
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:49 AM - Mike Kelly: i think that's usually temp related
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: I will drop it to like 188 and test. I will take a picture after the first layer
Mar 15, 2015 at 4:58 AM - jbigler1986: It was doing it with abs at 240 too
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:00 AM - Mike Glass: Mike I have it imported works fine.
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:06 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2tmagje14u1j9kr/Spool Holder.SLDPRT?dl=0
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:06 AM - Mike Kelly: there ya go
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:06 AM - Mike Kelly: bigler i meant to say the bed temp
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:06 AM - Mike Kelly: also mike what do you mean?
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:13 AM - Kevin Nguyen: hey guys
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:19 AM - Mike Glass: I have the spool holder, I imported the stl works fine.
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:22 AM - Mike Glass: you have all the files I guess anyways..lol
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:25 AM - Mike Kelly: stl's are annoying to work with
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:27 AM - Mike Glass: WHy would turning fans on give you clearer objects with transparent pla's
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:27 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a good question, probably has to do with the way the plastic cures while cooling
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:28 AM - Mike Glass: I did a test on a tube with various temps and speed and fan speed, very interesting.
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:31 AM - Mike Glass: abs at 240, why dont you just set it on fire..lol
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:34 AM - Mike Kelly: i was printing it at 250 for a while
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:34 AM - Mike Glass: mine just turns to mush
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:35 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's not too great for fine detail
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:35 AM - Mike Kelly: gotta go real slow
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:44 AM - Mike Glass: slow n low
Mar 15, 2015 at 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: Oh. Bed temp for PLA I run 60. ABS 90
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:22 AM - Mike Glass: I dont thinks is safe to put stuff on thingiverse, I hear they are patening other peoples creations?
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:23 AM - Mike Glass: dont go over 80, you will be punished by the robo gods.
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:27 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/6SrJ7ly
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:27 AM - jbigler1986: Dropped the temp to 230. Looks better but still a little boogers
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: Also looks like the left side of my bed is higher than the right. Can see it in the skirt
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:29 AM - jbigler1986: http://imgur.com/2JGA0J7
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i think PLA prints better below 40
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:51 AM - Mike Kelly: also bigler has a ribbon cable bed, so it's fine to go over 80 or whatever
Mar 15, 2015 at 6:59 AM - jbigler1986: Would lower the abs temp even more fix those little boogers that you see on my picture on the first layer
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:09 AM - Ben R: hey Mr kelly... you ever post your dual extruder firmware or explain mods to it in a thread?
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:09 AM - Ben R: I've found some references and notes in the config.h.. but nothing that will get me completely on line
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: this is the best summary i've done of firmware mods:
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/+MikeKelly04/posts/d2ZGMJJWqXJ
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:31 AM - Mike Kelly: though really you only need to change a couple things, all the configuration_adv stuff wasn't needed
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:36 AM - Ben R: I saw you mention that but didn't see where you had gotten into it.
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:36 AM - Ben R: thanks
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:37 AM - Ben R: can you set 2 different e steps?
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:45 AM - Jacob Kirsch: why would my steps per mm keep reverting even after an m500?
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Jacob Kirsch: So weird... I do "M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z2267.72 E841.14" then M500
Mar 15, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Jacob Kirsch: M503 shows it set, but if I disconnect and reconnect, it's back to the original value
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:09 AM - Ben R: you changing it as part of your slice?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:09 AM - Ben R: script that is
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:10 AM - Ben R: and why is your z 2267.... aren't the 5/16 rods 2272.72?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Ben R: set it in your firmeware and forget it.. it wont revert there.
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Ben R: is your machine on? the eeprom will revert on power loss.
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:26 AM - Jacob Kirsch: that's the Z number that's set in the firmware apparently
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:26 AM - Ben R: I have 8mm rods.. so I don't know bout the 5/16 for sure.. i thought it was the 72 72 though
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:26 AM - Jacob Kirsch: eeprom by definition is supposed to be non-volatile...I can set it in the firmware, but I thought that was the point of writing to eeprom
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Jacob Kirsch: where is the latest firmware
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Ben R: nope.. it doesn't stay. It may be non volitile.. but it must get overwritten
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Ben R: by firmware
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Jacob Kirsch: ugh
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Ben R: it would have to as a matter of fact
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I can't ever find the latest firmware
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:27 AM - Ben R: you could set it in your starting script
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Jacob Kirsch: that's what I was thinking
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Ben R: its in the menu on the home robo page
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Jacob Kirsch: dunno why robo3d can't get a clue and make stuff like firmware easy to find
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Ben R: yea.. it was missing before. now its under support.
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Ben R: brand new page
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Ben R: I mean... site really
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Ben R: http://help.robo3dprinter.com/
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Jacob Kirsch: looking...all my bookmarks are useless post upgrade
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Ben R: yup
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Ben R: they are
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Ben R: all the links in the forums were down for a few days too
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Ben R: just make sure you get the right firmware
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:30 AM - Ben R: which model do you have?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:31 AM - Jacob Kirsch: 5/16 autolevel
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Ben R: cool... some people have been saying they're getting robos with the wrong steps in the firmware pre-loaded
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Jacob Kirsch: mine seems to be ok
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Jacob Kirsch: the extrusion rate was off by 15%
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I did one print with abs that came out nice...then decided to go to cura from MC
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Ben R: yea... and that changes with filament type too
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:33 AM - Jacob Kirsch: expected the rate to stay the same...even the Machine config setting doesn't take
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Ben R: depending on how much the bolt can deform your material

 

Mar 15, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Jacob Kirsch: just added to the start gcode
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:34 AM - jbigler1986: MG I'm finally printing the pink.
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Ben R: that should do it...
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Jacob Kirsch: yeah, hope so
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:35 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I think once I get a few profiles put together I'll be happy with Cura
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:35 AM - Jacob Kirsch: MC is clunky, but I like their intensions
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:35 AM - Jacob Kirsch: intentions?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Ben R: yea
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Jacob Kirsch: wow, that was a bad spelling
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Ben R: for free
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Ben R: Its not as scary as other printer front ends
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Ben R: but if its not reliable... then whats that worth?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Jacob Kirsch: the explanations in cura are pretty good which helps overcome the complexity of all the parameters
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:36 AM - Ben R: My only big complaint with MC is its tendency to lose the ability to actually save settings
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:37 AM - Ben R: yea.. S3D too
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:37 AM - Ben R: but.. not free
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:37 AM - Jacob Kirsch: yeah, that's pretty lame
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:37 AM - Ben R: you can turn on verbose help with MC
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:40 AM - Jacob Kirsch: what hot end fan mount is that? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FWeUGKaHaxb25mOUJsZ0cyVXM/view
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:40 AM - Ben R: think they come with that now
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Ben R: hexagon clip on..
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Jacob Kirsch: wonder if the stl is available
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Ben R: i haven't seen a file for it... but i hear it exists
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Jacob Kirsch: ahh
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Ben R: I wonder if the e3d v6 20mm fan would work
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:42 AM - Ben R: I don't like those tiny fans.. too loud. I like the way if the tv is on, i can't hear my printer
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Jacob Kirsch: yeah... this was their last design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:436927
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Ben R: yup.. dumped that for a 20mm early
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Ben R: have a few of those
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Ben R: it worked just fine.. but harder to disassemble. Mine are all clip on now
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Jacob Kirsch: do you have a link to the mount you use?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:45 AM - Ben R: wanna change the nozzle, I can just unclip all the fans and i'm clear
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:46 AM - Ben R: I put it in the robo group on thiniverse
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:46 AM - Ben R: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681875
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:47 AM - Jacob Kirsch: ooh, led too!
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:47 AM - Jacob Kirsch: http://img4.yeggi.com/images_q/272788/hexagon-hotend-fan-mount-shroud-by-respare
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:47 AM - Jacob Kirsch: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:692175
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:48 AM - Jacob Kirsch: PLA only tho
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:48 AM - Ben R: that's neat
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:48 AM - Ben R: yea.. need a servo to close the vet
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:48 AM - Ben R: vent
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Mike Kelly: @jacob: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:720018
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:50 AM - Mike Kelly: same design but better
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Ben R: think he was looking at hotend cooler
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what that is
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Ben R: is it?
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Ben R: lookin at wrong part
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Ben R: yea.. thats what he initially asked about
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: same exact thing as what you use but with a second fan mount
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Jacob Kirsch: thanks!!
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I was wondering why it looked like it went beyond the first extruder
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Jacob Kirsch: shoud'a knowns
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:52 AM - Jacob Kirsch: known
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: might design a shroud for it if there's enough interest
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:55 AM - Mike Kelly: shrouds are fun
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Ben R: laminar flow fan
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Ben R: I saw one for a reprap.. just a fan that blew across the bed. seems good enough.
Mar 15, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Ben R: like externally mounted.. 4 inch fan
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:01 AM - Ben R: still controlled by firmware
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Mike Kelly: yup
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Mike Kelly: some people just put a desk fan in front
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Ben R: yea.. for pla.. just the first few layers to worry about
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Ben R: with some brands/shapes/colors
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Kelly: you could use a SSR
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Ben R: ssr? solid state radio?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:16 AM - Ben R: you prolly mean relay
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Jacob Kirsch: btw, 723.38 is the steps per mm defined in the firmware for the 5/16 rods
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I changed the springs in the extruder because the ones it came with were so tight my thumb hurt for a week the first time I used it
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Jacob Kirsch: also had 2 different kinds of springs
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Jacob Kirsch: print just finished with modified extrusion rate gcode and it's solid
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: no that's e steps
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: you had the z steps right
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I know; you were concerned Z was wrong
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Jacob Kirsch: didn't touch that
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Ben R: yea... its 2267.72 or whatever
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Ben R: extrusion don't relate
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Jacob Kirsch: still getting "ringing" at 40mm/s speed
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Jacob Kirsch: trying another at 35
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:29 AM - jbigler1986: Here you go MG. This is the pink.
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:29 AM - jbigler1986: http://m.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: are you lowering your acceleration?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: it won't do a whole lot in reducing ringing with acceleration at 1600
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Ben R: I print at 1000... keeps definition, reduces ringing
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Ben R: I all but refuse to go below 60mm/s. Its already slow enough. I did a test. i could get rid of ringing more or less at 30mm/s and it was crazy at 120, but I can get 30mm/s quality by reducing the acceleration to 600/800
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Jacob Kirsch: where is that set
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: in MC? no idea. I set it on my LCD controlelr
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: maybe in speed settings?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: otherwise firmware can set your base acceleration
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: there's got to be an M code for it
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Ben R: just need to know that memory location yea?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Ben R: you can get to the eeprom settings in most of the printer front ends
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Jacob Kirsch: printing accel or travel accel?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Ben R: printing.. but I do overall acceleration
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Jacob Kirsch: nm, travel not used in marlin
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Ben R: ok
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Ben R: if you set it hella low... it sounds pretty cool
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Ben R: vweeerrrrp...
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Ben R: it will slow you down if you have a lot of small infill. never gets up to speed
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Jacob Kirsch: M201 X9000 Y9000 Z100 E10000

 

Mar 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Jacob Kirsch: that's what it's set at
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:35 AM - Ben R: hmm...yea.. I never looked at what the firmware says... just what my lcd says.. I also have different firmware from you
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:35 AM - Jacob Kirsch: so 600-800, is that 6000-8000 in this param?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Ben R: I do not know... its the accel per second in mm/s? I think
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I'll try 6000...can't hurt
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Ben R: you'll hear it and can change it
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Ben R: mine says "1600" when I turn it on..
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Ben R: I keep it there for things with tight tolerances. Lower for things with surfaces that I want pretty
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:37 AM - Ben R: 1600 has no perceptible acceleration... just jams back and forth
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:39 AM - Jacob Kirsch: ok, that's the max accel
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:39 AM - Ben R: yea.. so you'd have to hobble it
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:39 AM - Ben R: if you used that
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Ben R: I think I've seen it in slicer settings before
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Ben R: yea.. in MC it lists 0 "default"
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Jacob Kirsch: M204 S1300.00 T3000.00
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Ben R: prolly it
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:41 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I'll set it to M204 S800.00 T3000.00
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Jacob Kirsch: giving that a shot...we'll see in 30 mins or so
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:42 AM - Jacob Kirsch: thx for the help!
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Jacob Kirsch: "latest" firmware confirms this
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Jacob Kirsch: #define DEFAULT_ACCELERATION 1300 // X, Y, Z and E max acceleration in mm/s^2 for printing moves /robo #define DEFAULT_RETRACT_ACCELERATION 3000 // X, Y, Z and E max acceleration in mm/s^2 for retracts
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I really need to mod it so I can use my smart display
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Jacob Kirsch: (not the XXL)
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Ben R: the newer firmwares need nothing
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Ben R: lcd is plug and play
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Jacob Kirsch: for smart graphics it needs modding
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Jacob Kirsch: for XXL it's ready to go
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Ben R: yea.. XXL is a brand..
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Ben R: its ready for LCD
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Ben R: if you want to spend the cash on that one.. more power to the seller!
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Jacob Kirsch: there are two large screen displays
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Jacob Kirsch: one has more graphics than the other
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: dozens
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: and touch screens
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: any of the arduino screens could work
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Ben R: they're not printer parts
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Jacob Kirsch: this is the one I got: http://www.makergeeks.com/xtsm12lcdra1.html
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Ben R: so what is full graphics?
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Jacob Kirsch: https://www.printedsolid.com/shop/printer-parts/smart-lcd-controller-xxl/ is the one that the firmware is ready for
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:47 AM - Jacob Kirsch: the screen shots show the difference
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:47 AM - Jacob Kirsch: unless the screenshots are for different firmware...
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Ben R: thats the XXL people are paying 70 bucks for... BWA HA HA HA
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Ben R: yea.. Ok.. icons vs ascii
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Ben R: a controller is a must
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:49 AM - Ben R: I have so much less frustration now
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I'm printing Mike's brackets to attach Mike's enclosure
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Jacob Kirsch: the next step is the controller
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Ben R: looks easy.. simple step by step on the reprap page
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Jacob Kirsch: thought I'd share:
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Ben R: got to love open source
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Jacob Kirsch: one of my buddies
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:57 AM - Ben R: free style floppin around.. those piezos are amaging huh. not terribly useful flying.. but interesting demonstration in controlability
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:57 AM - Ben R: well.. I assume.. he never hit the ground.. so I assume there was control going on.
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:58 AM - Jacob Kirsch: yeah, fun stuff. I don't fly anymore; never fooled myself to think I'd ever get near that level
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:58 AM - Jacob Kirsch: and crashing was such a moral and financial bummer
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Jacob Kirsch: mental, not moral
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Ben R: yea.. I cant do it anymore either. No real benefit, just repairs or total loss.. no matter how good you are..
Mar 15, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Ben R: I do some quads now.. but nothing silly
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Jacob Kirsch: I'm into drones where I let the computer fly
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Jacob Kirsch: and those foam planes from flitetest.com
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Ben R: so you used the word correctly
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Jacob Kirsch: $2 for the airframe
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Ben R: I thought america had changed "rc aircraft " to "drone"
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Jacob Kirsch: lol, yeah
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Ben R: none of mine even have auto hover or return
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Jacob Kirsch: oh, there's an advertisement on that youtube...only a matter of time before the FAA demands it be removed
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Jacob Kirsch: filmed in Germany so maybe it's ok
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Jacob Kirsch: lol
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Ben R: what.. he drop a bomb?
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Ben R: cant drop things from acft
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Ben R: my "dart gun" adapter on the quad is technically a federal crime
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Jacob Kirsch: can't make money for flying
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Jacob Kirsch: unless the FAA gets a cut
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Jacob Kirsch: dunno about that... http://www.getfpv.com/featured/blast-quadcopter.html
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Jacob Kirsch: sold in Florida
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Ben R: yea.. its unlawful... unless they're somehow playing lawyer ball "flat trajectory"
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Ben R: no dropping or projectiles from civ aircraft.. 1 scale or models
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Jacob Kirsch: nice chatting; thx for the help. gonna get away from the abs fumes for a bit.
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Ben R: flares excepted
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Ben R: I need to be not looking at the screen and worl
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:04 AM - Ben R: k

Mar 15, 2015 at 10:38 AM - jbigler1986: Punk turned out good
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:38 AM - jbigler1986: Pink*
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:50 AM - Mike Glass: nice, is that transparent?
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:50 AM - jbigler1986: A little yeah
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Mike Glass: I been doint transparent all day,
Mar 15, 2015 at 10:52 AM - jbigler1986: Usually get a little hairy with transparent
Mar 15, 2015 at 11:12 AM - jbigler1986: Trying to decide if I want to cut the tool holder or use support
Mar 15, 2015 at 11:54 AM - Mike Glass: cut it like I did and double stick tape just the side pieces. I just super glued mine onto the piece.
Mar 15, 2015 at 11:58 AM - jbigler1986: I'm probably going through cut it then abs glue it together. Then use velcro to secure it
Mar 15, 2015 at 11:59 AM - jbigler1986: I popped the cases cherry earlier with the camera mount. Woops. I was gentle and caressed her
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: I thought thats why you wanted the spool holder
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:04 PM - jbigler1986: Spool holder can be used for lots of things
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:05 PM - Mike Glass: man seems like filamnet is going up in cost
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:06 PM - jbigler1986: If the ribbon cables were longer it would be a good way to mount lcd
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:07 PM - Mike Glass: you can get longer ones.
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:08 PM - jbigler1986: I thought you couldn't due to the data loss
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: I should just mount my surface pro to it. One stop shop right there. I haven't used it in a few months anyways
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:09 PM - Mike Glass: Look in the forums somebody did it without issues, Im not sure why the data loss, I ran floppy cables and lcd cables in a truck with a computer well over 6 feet.

 

Mar 15, 2015 at 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm. Surface pro has me thinking though. Wouldn't need anything else
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: Use the spool holder and make a TV like swivel mount
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: nope, I was thinking the same for my dell venue pro, but I have 14 of these windows tablets I would like to get octoprint running.
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: Well since it's Windows I would just use repetier and due what I do now. I need to look into octoprint for pc again.
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: what about repetier server
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:23 PM - jbigler1986: Tried it. Could figure out a way to get the printer config file from repetier host
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:23 PM - jbigler1986: Couldn't *
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: MK couldn't figure it out either. It's weird. Repetier host needs the config file but I have no idea how to get it from repetier host unless I'm missing something obvious
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:37 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm apparently my solenoid doesn't work very well if it gets too hot
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:37 PM - Mike Glass: Melt?
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:38 PM - Mike Kelly: na just doesn't trigger all the way
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:38 PM - Mike Kelly: i probably should increase the voltage a hair
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:39 PM - Mike Kelly: for now i have a fan blowing on it trying to get it to cool down
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:44 PM - Mike Glass: need a mini fan for the solenoid..lol
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:45 PM - jbigler1986: Fans on fans on fans
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:51 PM - jbigler1986: Printing anything good?
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:51 PM - JamesLogan: does anyone have a link to the file for a little sleeve for flexible filament?
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:52 PM - jbigler1986: I do not
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:52 PM - jbigler1986: sorry
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:53 PM - jbigler1986: I should just get a lcd screen for my pi and run octopi
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:54 PM - JamesLogan: thanks jb
Mar 15, 2015 at 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: Man I need to add white lights. So hard to see transparent filament at first with the blue
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:08 PM - Mike Glass: my green filament glows under the blue lights really nice.
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: The pink did too
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: Just hard to see it at first
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:15 PM - tatajer: any recommendations for purchasing spares for the printer? I've been waiting for a month for new bearings and don't want to wait when the next part fails?
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:26 PM - Mike Glass: I got rods and bearings from amazon
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:36 PM - tatajer: thanks, you find you have to replace the bearings often?
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:45 PM - TechSupportGo: heyeyeye
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:48 PM - TechSupportGo: MG did you watch my dragon print last night?
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:49 PM - TechSupportGo: I am pleased with the outcome!!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FWeUGKaHaxamt1VG05QVIxODQ/view?usp=sharing
Mar 15, 2015 at 1:55 PM - Quest: wow. the dragon looks good
Mar 15, 2015 at 2:00 PM - TechSupportGo: oh yeah I shared back with them http://www.thingiverse.com/make:125833
Mar 15, 2015 at 2:02 PM - Mike Glass: was that black before?
Mar 15, 2015 at 2:03 PM - Mike Glass: I think I saw some of it print
Mar 15, 2015 at 2:35 PM - TechSupportGo: Yeah it's black
Mar 15, 2015 at 2:36 PM - TechSupportGo: Yo, goodnight

 

Mar 15, 2015 10:28 PM - jbigler1986: Good morning
Mar 15, 2015 10:29 PM - Jacob Kirsch: morning
Mar 15, 2015 10:43 PM - jbigler1986: What's going on
Mar 15, 2015 11:07 PM - Bill Monroe: good morning from Joshua Tree!
Mar 15, 2015 11:08 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Mar 15, 2015 11:09 PM - Bill Monroe: what?
Mar 15, 2015 11:09 PM - jbigler1986: Joshua Tree
Mar 15, 2015 11:10 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, that's where I am at the moment
Mar 15, 2015 11:10 PM - Mike Kelly: mornin
Mar 15, 2015 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: Gotcha
Mar 15, 2015 11:10 PM - jbigler1986: Morning
Mar 15, 2015 11:13 PM - jbigler1986: Any way to quick change filament?
Mar 15, 2015 11:13 PM - Bill Monroe: practice
Mar 15, 2015 11:14 PM - jbigler1986: Lol. It's just an annoying to have to remove the 2 screws holding the jhead.
Mar 15, 2015 11:15 PM - Bill Monroe: really. I dont touch the head when changing filament
Mar 15, 2015 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe if I add some thumb screws to those 2 bolts instead of using a screwdriver
Mar 15, 2015 11:15 PM - jbigler1986: Well it's hard to get it in with the PTFE tube installed
Mar 15, 2015 11:28 PM - Mike Kelly: the tensioner should have a thumb puller
Mar 15, 2015 11:29 PM - jbigler1986: Would going bowden make it easier?
Mar 15, 2015 11:32 PM - Mike Kelly: not really
Mar 15, 2015 11:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: Mike, if you need a small fan for your solenoid ...
Mar 15, 2015 11:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.sunon.com/pro2.php?c1=10&c2=2
Mar 15, 2015 11:41 PM - Mike Kelly: just got an email, "Can you design an entire new system and send me a drawing by today? kthx"
Mar 15, 2015 11:41 PM - Mike Kelly: haha cute fans
Mar 15, 2015 11:43 PM - jbigler1986: I love how professional emails people are using text lingo. What has happened to this world
Mar 15, 2015 11:43 PM - Mike Kelly: she didn't actually say that
Mar 15, 2015 11:43 PM - Mike Kelly: but that was the jist
Mar 15, 2015 11:44 PM - Mike Kelly: some people who may not even give us money want to design a system for them on good will
Mar 15, 2015 11:44 PM - Mike Kelly: uh no
Mar 15, 2015 11:46 PM - jbigler1986: Haha. That's funny
Mar 15, 2015 11:46 PM - jbigler1986: Because you work for free. Not
Mar 15, 2015 11:47 PM - Mike Kelly: i just shake my head, we haven't even discussed this with my director and i have work i need to be doing on my actual project
Mar 15, 2015 11:47 PM - Mike Kelly: and until my director says to work on that crap i'm not
Mar 15, 2015 11:48 PM - jbigler1986: What systems do you guys design?
Mar 15, 2015 11:48 PM - Mike Kelly: flare gas recovery
Mar 15, 2015 11:50 PM - jbigler1986: Gotcha
Mar 15, 2015 11:51 PM - jbigler1986: What's a good material to use to "wipe" off the nozzle while at temp to clean it
Mar 15, 2015 11:52 PM - Mike Kelly: i use a brass bristle brush and scrub it
Mar 15, 2015 11:52 PM - jbigler1986: I have one of those. Nozzle must be extremely durable
Mar 15, 2015 11:53 PM - Mike Kelly: similar materials won't gall
Mar 15, 2015 11:55 PM - jbigler1986: Are most colored PLA tansparent?
Mar 15, 2015 11:55 PM - jbigler1986: transparent*
Mar 15, 2015 11:59 PM - Mike Kelly: not really no
Mar 16, 2015 12:00 AM - jbigler1986: JW because all of my cheap brand saxon are. Expent for black and white of course. Not an issue. Just curious
Mar 16, 2015 12:00 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah depends on the supplier
Mar 16, 2015 12:03 AM - jbigler1986: Easy way to add extra thickness to a stl or does it need redesigned? Like fan duct are so thin
Mar 16, 2015 12:05 AM - Mike Kelly: not to my knowledge
Mar 16, 2015 12:13 AM - jbigler1986: Do you know the head size of the 2 bolts that tighten the jhead
Mar 16, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: M4-50mm iirc
Mar 16, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe 60mm
Mar 16, 2015 12:13 AM - Mike Kelly: wait
Mar 16, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Kelly: M3-25mm
Mar 16, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Kelly: the two that tap into it?
Mar 16, 2015 12:14 AM - Mike Kelly: you can also use #4-1"
Mar 16, 2015 12:14 AM - jbigler1986: No the spring loaded ones
Mar 16, 2015 12:15 AM - Mike Kelly: ok then my original answer
Mar 16, 2015 12:15 AM - jbigler1986: Ok. Gonna make some thumb screws to put on the head of the bolts for easy removal
Mar 16, 2015 12:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i think there's a design out there
Mar 16, 2015 12:17 AM - jbigler1986: Hmm
Mar 16, 2015 12:17 AM - jbigler1986: Let me search
Mar 16, 2015 12:22 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:176135
Mar 16, 2015 12:23 AM - jbigler1986: This one is better http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5704
Mar 16, 2015 12:25 AM - jbigler1986: Wonder if I could put a little phillips on the inside
Mar 16, 2015 12:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd personally seat it from the other side and use glue
Mar 16, 2015 12:26 AM - jbigler1986: seat it from the other side?
Mar 16, 2015 12:27 AM - Mike Kelly: like go in through the thread side
Mar 16, 2015 12:29 AM - jbigler1986: Confused still. It's monday
Mar 16, 2015 12:30 AM - Mike Kelly: more like a washer, less like a cap
Mar 16, 2015 12:30 AM - jbigler1986: Nevermind. I get it
Mar 16, 2015 12:32 AM - Mike Kelly: they also sell M4-50mm screws with hex caps
Mar 16, 2015 12:32 AM - Mike Kelly: i found some at ace hardware
Mar 16, 2015 12:32 AM - Mike Glass: Ace is the place. mornin
Mar 16, 2015 12:33 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Mar 16, 2015 12:35 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Mike, will you make me a design and get then send me the file today..thanks...lol
Mar 16, 2015 12:35 AM - jbigler1986: Lol
Mar 16, 2015 12:36 AM - jbigler1986: Just got my .8 nozzle.
Mar 16, 2015 12:36 AM - Mike Glass: You will fall in love now
Mar 16, 2015 12:37 AM - jbigler1986: What all settings do I need to change for it? Nozzle diameter of course.
Mar 16, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Glass: yep and layer height
Mar 16, 2015 12:37 AM - Mike Glass: i use .4 or .6
Mar 16, 2015 12:38 AM - Mike Glass: just make sure your spool can dish out massive filament..lol
Mar 16, 2015 12:38 AM - jbigler1986: Easy enough. Do I need to drop hotend or just hold on to heat block to change it
Mar 16, 2015 12:39 AM - jbigler1986: with wrench of course
Mar 16, 2015 12:39 AM - Mike Glass: not sure how the v5 differs from hex
Mar 16, 2015 12:40 AM - Mike Glass: should just be the heatblock with a wrench
Mar 16, 2015 12:42 AM - Mike Kelly: some people just don't appreciate what i do
Mar 16, 2015 12:42 AM - Mike Kelly: really annoying
Mar 16, 2015 12:42 AM - Mike Kelly: "come up with the exact thing, but just the basic idea":
Mar 16, 2015 12:42 AM - jbigler1986: What size for the heatblock? I've been using adjustable
Mar 16, 2015 12:45 AM - Mike Glass: I use my calipers
Mar 16, 2015 12:46 AM - jbigler1986: Gonna test this baby on the tool holder
Mar 16, 2015 12:49 AM - Mike Glass: make sure you do it .4
Mar 16, 2015 12:49 AM - jbigler1986: k
Mar 16, 2015 12:54 AM - Mike Glass: JB did you get Haribo in your packate
Mar 16, 2015 12:55 AM - Mike Glass: package
Mar 16, 2015 12:55 AM - Mike Kelly: wooo new cyclops parts are on the way
Mar 16, 2015 12:55 AM - Mike Glass: you broke it?
Mar 16, 2015 12:56 AM - jbigler1986: Haribo?
Mar 16, 2015 12:56 AM - Mike Glass: Im gonna need a new spool holder for these taulman filaments that just arrived.
Mar 16, 2015 12:57 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah a while ago
