Jun 23, 2015 at 3:42 PM - donhuevo: you didn't mention Jeff Bridges
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:42 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.openbuilds.com/builds/samson.2211/ neat
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:43 PM - Mike Kelly: 4 z steppers is pretty overkill to the max
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:43 PM - donhuevo: that's sort of the direction I'm heading although for now it'll be 500x500x500 roughly
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:45 PM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+NoeRuiz/posts/XdWJ8ocTVZt?cfem=1 these look way nicer than i'd expect
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:46 PM - donhuevo: WAY nicer
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:47 PM - donhuevo: this is where my heads at right now...
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Mike Kelly: dump all the links! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3dsimo-mini/3dsimo-mini-the-ultimate-creators-tool
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:50 PM - Mike Kelly: aluminum extrusion?
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:52 PM - donhuevo: yep OpenBuilds 20x40
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:56 PM - jbigler1986: Fuck. Finally home
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:58 PM - Mike Kelly: jesus what took so long?
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:58 PM - jbigler1986: Work
Jun 23, 2015 at 3:59 PM - jbigler1986: I like it as a soldering iron but thats it
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i could use the foam cutter
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:16 PM - donhuevo: wondering how many times the battery needed recharged to 'print' that truck
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'd hope you could just keep it plugged in...
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:18 PM - Mike Kelly: let's see if this damn YN piece prints this time
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:18 PM - Mike Kelly: one of the four corners keeps coming unstuck
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:18 PM - Mike Kelly: i swear this PLA is the worst
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:20 PM - donhuevo: which PLA is it?
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:24 PM - Mike Kelly: robo3d (octave) translucent red from 2013
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:24 PM - Mike Kelly: just does NOT want to have a good first layer
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:25 PM - Mike Kelly: either its so low it bubbles up, or it comes off the build plate
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:25 PM - donhuevo: maybe need to bake it in the oven for a few hours
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:25 PM - donhuevo: no wonder you hate PLA
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:25 PM - Mike Kelly: it's always been like this but yeah i might try throwing it in the dehumidifier for a few hours
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:26 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah this filament gave me a bad experience
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:28 PM - daniel871: Why not just print the entire yes/no assembly at once?
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:29 PM - daniel871: Or are you making the letters huge and putting them on a plywood base?
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:30 PM - donhuevo: hatchbox PLA
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:31 PM - daniel871: Hey. Does the new version of S3D have material profiles for more than ABS/PLA/PVA/Nylon?
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:32 PM - daniel871: Like a bullet for PET?
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:32 PM - donhuevo: so imgur finally got their iphone app out. you bastards weren't gonna tell me?
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:33 PM - daniel871: Using Android so IDGAF.
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:33 PM - Mike Kelly: less support daniel
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:33 PM - daniel871: Also the website works fine for device uploads as is.
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:35 PM - donhuevo: crappy way to do it on the iphone. zoom then find the upload button. then find the browse button....
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:36 PM - Mike Kelly: sorry don i thought you knew
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:36 PM - Mike Kelly: they only very recently added upload
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:37 PM - donhuevo: it's all good now. I was just pretending to be salty anyway
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:39 PM - jbigler1986: Alright. Just bored this bitch out
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:39 PM - donhuevo: woot!
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:39 PM - jbigler1986: Crossing my fingers
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:39 PM - donhuevo: mine are crossed too
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:44 PM - jbigler1986: So slow
Jun 23, 2015 at 4:45 PM - donhuevo: what's slow?
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:02 PM - donhuevo: I decided to try and print that hob
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Stephen Capistron: You need to design the tools to make the hob
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:14 PM - Stephen Capistron: The belts on the tank tread should be strips cut out of a belt sanding belt or from one of those belt style knife sharpeners
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:19 PM - donhuevo: yep. I'm thinking it wouldn't be any big deal to throw a little machine together to cut hobs. Turn a set number of steps, slow plunge, turn some steps, plunge again. cha cha cha
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: Biggest hassle would be setting up the arduino. A lot easier to have a fixture with 42 stops in it and just index manually
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: Can set a depth stop on the dremel press
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:25 PM - donhuevo:
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: I like the general looks, but I don't think that plastic is going to work
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:29 PM - donhuevo: no, just wanted to hold it up to some filament. Now I'm thinking maybe a 2mm end mill
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:30 PM - Stephen Capistron: Probably easier to come by
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:30 PM - jbigler1986: Ha. You should try it
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:30 PM - donhuevo: that'd be my guess
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:31 PM - donhuevo: no, it's just going to play a hob on tv
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: How hard would it be to drill out a like a 10mm bolts
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: To fit onto the stepper shaft
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:32 PM - Stephen Capistron: Dremel has a 2.4 which is the smallest
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:33 PM - Stephen Capistron: Though you could spoof the diameter by turning the setup a bit
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:33 PM - donhuevo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2MM-METRIC-...ac34cc&pid=100338&rk=4&rkt=30&sd=250644893178
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:34 PM - Stephen Capistron: You got a 2mm collet for that?
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:34 PM - donhuevo: I do have some smaller collets for dental bits
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:34 PM - donhuevo: never measured them but maybe?
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:35 PM - donhuevo: I should look at what I already have laying around now that I think about it
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:37 PM - donhuevo: damn! a 1.7
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:37 PM - jbigler1986: Alright had to take a break for dinner.
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:37 PM - donhuevo: although I don't know how it would do against steel
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:38 PM - jbigler1986: Filament has made its way from extruder to hotend. Wouldnt even get that far last night. Lol
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:38 PM - donhuevo: progress!
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:39 PM - jbigler1986: Yep. Also my smooth rods werent straight. Didnt realize that they weren't in the little cap on the top of the case
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: JB, why did you want to drill out a 10mm bolt?
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:40 PM - jbigler1986: To make a drive gear. Just to see how hard it would be
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:40 PM - donhuevo: I'm gonna need a sketch of that
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:41 PM - Stephen Capistron: Drilling out the inside of a bolt is not easy with home tools
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:42 PM - donhuevo: probably easier to thread a tube
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:42 PM - Stephen Capistron: Or just buy a spacer
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:43 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I found some sweet collars that had set screws already but it was in the middle of the collar
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:43 PM - donhuevo: you can drill/tap for a setscrew
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:44 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i know. Just saying it would have been perfect if it wasnt in the middle
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:44 PM - donhuevo: cut the end off?
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:45 PM - jbigler1986: Would an aluminum spacer be ok? Or should it be steel or brass
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:47 PM - Stephen Capistron: Steel or brass
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:47 PM - jbigler1986: Thats what i thought. All of the damn steel ones they had were all split
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:49 PM - jbigler1986: Test print time
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:55 PM - Stephen Capistron: Look up spacer not shaft collar
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:55 PM - jbigler1986: I was looking at spacers too
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:56 PM - jbigler1986: Anyways. She is printing again right now
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:57 PM - donhuevo: printing well?
Jun 23, 2015 at 5:57 PM - jbigler1986: We will see. Not to bad right now
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:07 PM - jbigler1986: Fail
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:09 PM - donhuevo: damnit
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:09 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:09 PM - Mike Kelly: ouch
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:10 PM - Mike Kelly: too much void space after the hobb
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:10 PM - Mike Kelly: ok i cannot freaking figure out how to add a second printer in simplify 3

 

Jun 23, 2015 at 6:11 PM - jbigler1986: I will move it as close as i can and try again
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:11 PM - Mike Kelly: it used to show all the profiles when you clicked the drop down
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:12 PM - donhuevo: I don't like the angle the idler pulley is pushing on the filament either. should be pretty much perpendicular
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:12 PM - Mike Kelly: oh hey that's pretty cool
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:12 PM - Mike Kelly: for the robo3d profile they show you a mock of the bed
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:12 PM - donhuevo: that was my idea
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:13 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/vdOZqbf.png
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:13 PM - jbigler1986: I will loosen idler as well
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:13 PM - donhuevo: that was NOT my idea
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:13 PM - jbigler1986: When did that happen
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:14 PM - Mike Kelly: 3.0.0
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:15 PM - Mike Kelly: words
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:25 PM - Mike Kelly: wow it takes way too long to upload files to SD using repetier host
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:27 PM - jbigler1986: Yes it does. Takes forever
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:27 PM - jbigler1986: Testing again
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:32 PM - Mike Kelly: and it didn't even work
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:32 PM - Mike Kelly: bollocks
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:49 PM - Mike Kelly:
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:49 PM - Mike Kelly: Printing Yes/No in one go using S3D honeycomb
Jun 23, 2015 at 6:51 PM - donhuevo: fingers crossed for you too
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:05 PM - jbigler1986: Its printing. Stringy but will worry about that later.
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:07 PM - donhuevo: sweet!
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:16 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:16 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:21 PM - daniel871: Good grief.https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-3d-printing-material-storage-sol/description
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:33 PM - jbigler1986: Wow
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:36 PM - jbigler1986: Failed again. Leaving the printer alone until i get the new drive gear. Pretty sure that is a lot of the issue
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:38 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. did you see that? they've been printing for 6 whole months!
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:43 PM - jbigler1986: Lol. Unbelievable right
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:44 PM - Bill Monroe: yet another kickstarter fail
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:45 PM - jbigler1986: How dare you say that
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:45 PM - Bill Monroe: with my keyboard
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:46 PM - jbigler1986: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nixtek/tomato-full-color-process-desktop-3d-printer
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:47 PM - Bill Monroe: hope their product is better than thier video skills
Jun 23, 2015 at 7:51 PM - jbigler1986: Good read. Even though its a little old
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:02 PM - Mike Kelly: Or their naming skills
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:07 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Not sure why they chose that
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Bill Monroe: apple
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:21 PM - pclabtech: Help!
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:26 PM - pclabtech: Mike, are you on?
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:34 PM - jbigler1986: what do you need help with
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:36 PM - pclabtech: I got an R1 replacement for my original unit #8 from kickstarter... it appears the 5 volts works because the arduino board connects with the PC
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:36 PM - pclabtech: but the motors, the blue lights, and heatbed are non - op
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:36 PM - pclabtech: I am testing the voltage from the PS right now...
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:37 PM - jbigler1986: put the direct back on
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:38 PM - jbigler1986: sorry. was talking to myself
Jun 23, 2015 at 8:47 PM - pclabtech: ROFL... the IBM standard AC cord that was packed with it has one prong not registering on my continuity tester.

 

Jun 23, 2015 at 9:39 PM - pclabtech: After replacing the AC cord I now have lights!
Jun 23, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Mike Glass: power usually helps
Jun 23, 2015 at 10:11 PM - pclabtech: Now I think it has a clogged print head
Jun 23, 2015 at 10:40 PM - pclabtech: Printing calibration cube.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:21 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:50 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bills-lab
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:54 AM - Shank: good morning
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:58 AM - Bill Monroe: Shank
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:59 AM - Shank: hows the printer
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:59 AM - Bill Monroe: check the video
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:02 AM - Shank: cant at work...they block everything
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:02 AM - Shank: i wonder if i can open it on my phone
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:02 AM - Bill Monroe: whoa sux to be you
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:02 AM - Bill Monroe: that's one reason I carry an iPad
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 AM - Bill Monroe: jb
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 AM - Shank: morning jb
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 AM - jbigler1986: Video isnt up Bill
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 AM - Bill Monroe: dangit
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 AM - jbigler1986: How are you guys this humpday
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:06 AM - Shank: great its pay day
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:06 AM - Bill Monroe: good.. found the source of my hydraulic leak
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:06 AM - jbigler1986: Thats a good thing for tou both
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:07 AM - Bill Monroe: no more cleaning the smear off the camera and belly
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:08 AM - jbigler1986: Good. Hydraulic leak on a plane would be a little nerve racking
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:09 AM - Bill Monroe: bah.. not dangerous at all.. but really annoying
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:09 AM - Bill Monroe: 56 year old threaded hole worn is all
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:09 AM - Bill Monroe: making a new part today
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:27 AM - daniel871: I'm still laughing at that kickstarter from last night.
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:27 AM - daniel871: "We've been 3d printing for 6 months, so we know what we are talking about"
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:29 AM - Bill Monroe: unlike most kickstarters, at least they admitted it
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:29 AM - Bill Monroe: the scary thing is, they think they're experts
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:44 AM - Shank: JB did you ever figure out your bowden problem
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:47 AM - jbigler1986: nope
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:48 AM - Shank: that is making me a little scared to try bowden
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:48 AM - jbigler1986: will try again as soon as i get my new drive gears. it worked with my other drive gear i had until i broke it trying to bore it out
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:50 AM - Shank: my 40W heater was delivered yesterday. I throw that sucker in the volcano before I removed it and the fans had no chance. The temp. didn’t even flinch with fans on full
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:50 AM - jbigler1986: so i think this drive gear is cutting the filament a little causing friction
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: so along the long ptfe tube it becomes to much friction and jams. we shall see
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:51 AM - Shank: with the bowden its really easy to slide the filament into the hot end right
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: yeah 40W heater is the way to go
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: yeah
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: wait. what do you mean
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:52 AM - Shank: what do i mean on what?
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:53 AM - jbigler1986: pushing the filament in the hotend
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:55 AM - jbigler1986: also didn't the e3d come with a 40W heater cartridge? mine did anyways
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:55 AM - daniel871: Mine have come with blue wires for both the v6 and the volcano
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:56 AM - daniel871: Thought red wires were 40w
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:56 AM - Shank: Does the filament have any problems making the transition from the ptfe tube and the hot end
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:56 AM - Shank: Red is 40W
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:56 AM - jbigler1986: red are 40. mine came with red
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:56 AM - Shank: blue is 20W
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:56 AM - Shank: mine came with blue
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:57 AM - jbigler1986: no. it's no different then the e3dv6 like normal
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:57 AM - jbigler1986: both have ptfe tube
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:58 AM - Shank: i was just wondering if it could feed a different filament by itself or if a person need to be there to push the filament through all the transitions
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:00 AM - jbigler1986: it will do it all by itself
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe:
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:01 AM - Shank: alright
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:01 AM - jbigler1986: nice random allstate ad in there. lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:02 AM - Bill Monroe:
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:02 AM - Bill Monroe: "now that's a leak!"
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:03 AM - jbigler1986: yes it is
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:03 AM - Bill Monroe: easy fix... Tormach Time!!!
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:04 AM - jbigler1986: so going into work today?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:04 AM - Bill Monroe: uhh work.. umm where again?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:06 AM - jbigler1986: garden?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:06 AM - jbigler1986: 2.0's workshop?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:07 AM - Bill Monroe: hey... airplane comes before vegetables or perpetually half-naked wives...
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:07 AM - Bill Monroe: I know my priorities
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:09 AM - jbigler1986: i'm telling
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:09 AM - Bill Monroe: ok
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:10 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm. half naked wife vs any other thing. I'm going with the first one
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:18 AM - Bill Monroe: she's outside the wall re-arranging the irrigation bubblers... again....
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:26 AM - Shank: just finished designing my crazy idea...all i need to do is figure out how to add cooling fans
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: Shank, your plan is to retract the filament all the way past a "y" connector for filament changes right
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:29 AM - Shank: yep
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:31 AM - Shank: but run it on a e3d v6
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:40 AM - daniel871: Seems like it'd be top-heavy no matter what you do.
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:41 AM - daniel871: As in, the Y-connector would be a very weak point if everything around it wasn't amazingly rigid.
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: I had assumed the y connector would be a part of the bowden tubing system
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:46 AM - Shank: my wonderfully horrible design
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:46 AM - Shank:
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:47 AM - daniel871: It would probably be less expensive to buy and setup a Cyclops in the long run.
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:49 AM - Shank: only reason i am playing around with the idea is because i have most of the parts laying around
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:54 AM - daniel871: I'm just thinking you're going to have a pretty severe lag in material change time with the "Y" being that far away from the nozzle.
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:56 AM - daniel871: Also good luck having that Y be strong enough to hold up to the motion stresses of the carriage running around at high speeds.
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:56 AM - Shank: it will have to retract about 70mm
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:57 AM - daniel871: Probably needs to be rotated 90 degrees to make the bowden tubes going out the top of the printer be in line with the slit in the top without having to put any extra bend forces on them.
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:58 AM - Shank: already made that change
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe: gunna need to lower the V6 so the tip hits before the axis bottoms out
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:59 AM - daniel871: Was thinking about that too.
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:00 AM - daniel871: Really needs to be so that the actual heatsink and fan are below the carriage, with the retaining ring being the only thing sticking above the carriage.
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:01 AM - Bill Monroe: need to make a plan for what your going to do when you realize bowdens suck
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:02 AM - daniel871: Or just us MKelly's modular carriage and experiment with different setups. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681916
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:05 AM - Shank: if it doesn't work I will just go back to my current setup
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:05 AM - daniel871: Can pretty much tell you right now that the design you posted a minute ago will never touch the table during the autolevel.
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:06 AM - daniel871: The carriage bearings will hit first.
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:06 AM - daniel871: Or part fans, once those are on there.
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:09 AM - Shank: nozzels clears the carriage bearings by .375 inches

 

Jun 24, 2015 at 6:09 AM - Shank: if volcano is add it will be more
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:12 AM - daniel871: Can you compare that to where the limit switches will be?
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:12 AM - daniel871: i.e.; Where will the limit switches be if the tip of your nozzle is resting on the bed?
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:13 AM - daniel871: Because 3/8" sounds about like how much material is below the smooth rods on either end of the axis.
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:14 AM - daniel871: (Don't have the actual Robo to look at right now because I'm at work)
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:17 AM - Shank: it still clears it
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:17 AM - Shank: i dont have couplers on mine
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:52 AM - Sims Reaper: i wonder if the filament swapper upgrade kit Robo is putting out next year will allow different filament types and not only different colours of the same filament type
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:06 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:06 AM - Shank: Morning
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:11 AM - jbigler1986: filament swapper?
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:12 AM - Mike Kelly: spectrom is what he's referring to
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:12 AM - Mike Kelly: and no it's a single filament in single out
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: JB, I got one for you
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: I did a little reading up and you could try a MIG welder drive wheel

Jun 24, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: Check out the extruder about halfway down the page
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Mike Kelly: simplify3d supports are really super nice
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: How do other slicers handle support so poorly
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:15 AM - Stephen Capistron:

Jun 24, 2015 at 7:20 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:20 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i like that one better
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:22 AM - jbigler1986: to bad there wasn't a local store to get one
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:22 AM - Mike Kelly: check your gas and welding supply store

Jun 24, 2015 at 7:27 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah the closer you can get to .06 the better
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: does it have set screw already?

Jun 24, 2015 at 8:52 AM - daniel871: People care way to much about a flag and not enough about stuff that matters.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:52 AM - jbigler1986: oh yeah.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:52 AM - jbigler1986: should not be a ban on it though. dumb
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:53 AM - daniel871: There isn't a ban, though.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:53 AM - daniel871: Some businesses decided to stop selling it.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: if it makes you feel any better it is culture shock for me when I go down that way
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:53 AM - jbigler1986: they are trying to
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:53 AM - jbigler1986: museums only
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:53 AM - daniel871: Big whoop. Not like it was a huge seller before controversy about it flying over state government buildings came up again.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:54 AM - daniel871: Though I suppose that's like Chik-Fil-A profits going through the roof the week after their CEO says something dumb.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:55 AM - daniel871: On a side note I agree with the idea that flags of destroyed and defeated nations should be relegated to the dust bins of history.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:55 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/FujnHkE.jpg & etc.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: only exception i can come up with is tibet
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:57 AM - daniel871: Did Tibet have a history of basing secession on the issue of Slavery?
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:57 AM - daniel871: (leave aside the bit about de facto slavery for migrant workers)
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: i'm talking about defeated nations / cultures flags going to the dust bin.
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'd make an exception for tibet
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: Otherwise i'm totally with you
Jun 24, 2015 at 8:59 AM - daniel871: That image I linked to was a handy way to purge my FB friend list.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:01 AM - daniel871: I'm a little heartened by seeing the Governor of Alabama ordering that those flags be taken off of government buildings today.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:01 AM - daniel871: I mean, holy shit, Alabama.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:02 AM - jbigler1986: is it ok to create a WET tv channel?
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:02 AM - daniel871: That's every single other channel.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: not the point
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:03 AM - Stephen Capistron: That is part of the culture shock I expereinced a while back. I helped my brother and his wife move from Florida to Arkansas and drove through Alabama. Along one of the highways was a gigantic confederate flag. Don't see those too often in Massachusetts.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:03 AM - daniel871: Also, TV channels are not government institutions.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: nope
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: I also found the alternating billboards for Jesus saves, pray to the lord, ... and then the next one being for an adult store
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:04 AM - Stephen Capistron: We don't have that sort of sequencing and signage here either
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: just saying. can you imagine the hell if someone created a tv channel called (White Entertainment TV)
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:05 AM - daniel871: You have WETV

 

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:05 AM - daniel871: But that's Women's Entertainment.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:05 AM - daniel871: But also probably coincidentally mostly white.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:06 AM - jbigler1986: it's all about the name
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: it would be racist this, racist that, not equal, blah blah blah

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:11 AM - daniel871: We're talking about TV right now, should be fine.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:11 AM - daniel871: The knockoff of Breaking Bad is hilarious.

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:12 AM - daniel871: Meta Stasis.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:12 AM - jbigler1986: Mike Rowe. Yeah i can live with that
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:13 AM - jbigler1986: Donald Trump? WTF. Yes lets let a guy that has filed for bankruptcy like 2 or 3 times run the country.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:13 AM - donhuevo: I tried to talk about tv yesterday and killed the chat
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:13 AM - daniel871: More like a dozen times.

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:14 AM - daniel871: Four that actually went through.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:14 AM - daniel871: Did that guy with the tank extruder ever right back?
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:14 AM - jbigler1986: SC, I will see how my new drive gear works when I get it before buying another
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:15 AM - donhuevo: Rowe 2016...
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:15 AM - donhuevo: I've been wanting to talk to you jb about your extruder. Is that your design?
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:15 AM - jbigler1986: nope. doesn't look like it
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:15 AM - daniel871: Since Simplify 3D has a login feature now, does that mean I can install it on multiple computers and just login whenever I want to use it?

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: .045" knurled v-groove drive wheel
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:16 AM - jbigler1986: i am willing to change it forsure
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: They make 1/16" but they are super pricey
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:17 AM - donhuevo: I really don't like the angle the idler bearing is on
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:17 AM - donhuevo: it probably doesn't make a difference but it bugs me just the same
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:19 AM - jbigler1986: I just wanted to be able to use skateboard bearings as they were easy to get locally
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: Go with two idlers for twice the contact area
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:19 AM - donhuevo: that's cool. maybe lower the bearing some though
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:20 AM - jbigler1986: Well it grip good. I think the issue is the damn drive gear
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:21 AM - jbigler1986: It cuts into the filament I think creating some friction. Add that up all the way through the length of the ptfe and it's just to much
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:21 AM - donhuevo: can you put that pic up again?
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: So long as you don't put that pick up of your girlfriend again
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:22 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:22 AM - donhuevo: the skeleton or the Hooter's waitress?
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: well ... either
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:24 AM - daniel871: What about just a knurled knob that isn't very deep on the grooves, but makes up for it by having a lot of them?
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:25 AM - donhuevo: see I feel at full compression, the line from idler center to hob center should be perpendicular to the filament
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: i get what you are saying
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - daniel871: Like one of these: http://www.mcmaster.com/#6333k17/=xrj9si
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - daniel871: But you'd have to adjust your e-steps.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - jbigler1986: i got the best quality print i ever had with this idler though
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - jbigler1986: and bowden

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:26 AM - Mike Glass: thats cause its pregrining the filament..lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:27 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - daniel871: Yeah, if you're getting that I'd stop messing with it.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: Daniel, the groove in the drive wheel is really needed to keep everything in line though
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM - Mike Glass: just sand it and call it good.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:29 AM - jbigler1986: well i didn't like the e steps being so low and i wanted more torque. so i added a geared stepper. then i needed to bore out the ID to fit the geared stepper. Broke the drive gear.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:30 AM - jbigler1986: That's why I ordered 2 like the ones I had before
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: we need a way better AC in the conference room
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: 10 people + a projector gets crazy hot

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: next time you know you have a long meeting you might want to "forget" that day
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - daniel871: And mar the grooves with something to give it traction.
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: do your part to keep the meeting short
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: kinda hard for me to skip the meeting for a design review
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:31 AM - Mike Kelly: though i think i'm working from how this pm cause my supervisor is taking it off
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:32 AM - jbigler1986: $41 GTFO
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:32 AM - Stephen Capistron: don't skip it, just incentivize people to work quickly
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:32 AM - daniel871: Eat something that gives you gas, fart until meeting adjourned.

Jun 24, 2015 at 9:33 AM - jbigler1986: I really think my issue will be solved once I get the new drive gears. We shall see
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: you can see what happens to that crappy filament
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:33 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah good luck getting a group of engineers to decide on anything in a timely manner
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. WHat happened to the base
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: standing meeting without phones
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Mike Kelly: just really bad filament
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: or laptops, except for the presenter
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i have a long hdmi cable that connects to the projector and a long usb cable for kb/m
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:42 AM - jbigler1986: no wireless? what is wrong with you
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: the kb/m is wireless but there's too much attenuation going through the wall
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:52 AM - Mike Kelly: plus then i'd have to carry my kb/m back and forth every time i present
Jun 24, 2015 at 9:55 AM - donhuevo: something like this connected to the projector that you could remote into... http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/In...9ObKvxJ9Fm2YPKtK-QbWI4lxgsl-bPuZaiRoCGCHw_wcB
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Glass: Celeron..eww
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Mike Kelly: more expensive than an hdmi cable
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Mike Kelly: don did you see my crappy first layer
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:20 AM - daniel871: I need something to print with the .25 nozzle on the v6 at some point. Any ideas?
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:20 AM - daniel871: Material will either be PLA or PET+
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: ugh. My washing machine is starting to go at the worst time. It only needs to last another 6± months until our renovation is complete and we have a better spot for a new one.

 

Jun 24, 2015 at 10:24 AM - jbigler1986: duct tape
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: I think the drain pump is overheating. The filter going to it is clean. No obstructions to or from the pump.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:25 AM - daniel871: Ooh. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:105551
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: I can feel the magnets in the motor catch if I manually spin the impeller. And almost burnt my hand on the motor while checking that
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: put a fan blowing on it
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: That is happening now. I need to find out what voltage it is so that when it turns on, the fan turns on.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:40 AM - daniel871:
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:41 AM - daniel871:
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:42 AM - Mike Kelly: also someone was asking earlier about running simplify3d on more than 2 machines, you'd need to deactivate one
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:48 AM - daniel871: It'd just be the two.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:48 AM - daniel871: My work PC when fiddling with slicing a model during lunch break or whatever and my home PC for everything else.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah you're enabled 2 installs
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:52 AM - daniel871: Can confirm that your cloud-saved profiles stay unique to the machine you run on, though.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:52 AM - daniel871: Signed in during lunch to see if I could keep using the profiles I'd saved at home last night and they weren't there, it would be nice if that stuff would cross over.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: i could see the benefit to that but i certainly wouldn't use/want it
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: since i run different machines
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: i wish simplify3d handled multiple printer styles better
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: like repetier and cura
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: hell even MC would probably handle it
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:55 AM - daniel871: I figure it would mainly come down to naming your processes properly for that.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:55 AM - daniel871: Since each process can be assigned to a specific machine.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: in simplify you do it based on slicing profiles which isn't as easy to swap between or change machine connection settings
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:56 AM - daniel871: You're talking about running the printer via USB cable all the time?
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a minor nuisance, like if i load up a model file using a rep2 profile and switch it to robo it moves the object to the front left corner instead of bed center for some reason
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: and yes USB printing and/or loading files to SD
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Mike Kelly: kinda want to stick an LCD on the 1.6
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:58 AM - daniel871: Think it's because the machines use different coordinate origin points relative to bed positions, or something. Clicking Center and Arrange after changing machines should be the simplest fix though.
Jun 24, 2015 at 10:58 AM - daniel871: Actually, I think there's an option to auto center and arrange somewhere that goes beyond just the "when importing a model" thing.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:00 AM - daniel871: Nope, It's just when importing.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: i know the reason it's just annoying
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:01 AM - daniel871: Put an LCD controller on any printer that doesn't already have one.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: still though
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:02 AM - donhuevo: back
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: it's kind of an obvious feature that's missing
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:02 AM - daniel871: It should refresh when you change machines, yeah.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:02 AM - daniel871: Though maybe just "re-center" instead of the arrangement as well.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah if you switch profiles it should recenter the object or something
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i dunno there's got to be a better way
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:03 AM - daniel871: Feature request!
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:03 AM - Mike Kelly: that's too much effort i'd rather just complain
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: also for the love of god add a warning when you're about to delete a profile
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: can't count the number of times i meant to delete a model and deleted a profile
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: too bad Joey only shows up when braydon did
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:10 AM - Mike Glass: Do you have his email
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: Fingerscrossed > https://www.onshape.com/cad-blog/le...S5yU1dDjpyQZrP011vWgqMWs45NXeg&_hsmi=19186960
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:13 AM - daniel871: Submitted both of those, MK.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:13 AM - daniel871: Threads have to be approved by a moderator, lol.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:25 AM - donhuevo: so the large ones fit snug on a ptfe connector... wondering if the small would work on bare ptfe. http://www.lowes.com/pd_137500-315-1875980_1z0wkjj__?productId=4772377&pl=1
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:28 AM - Mike Kelly: white item on white background, gj lowes
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:29 AM - donhuevo: yep but still... once I drill a hole into my oxxo container for ptfe, I'd like to be able to cap it
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:30 AM - Mike Kelly: what oxo container fits filament?
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:31 AM - donhuevo: the square one fits the Taulman bridge roll
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: ah
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:31 AM - Mike Kelly: i hate those taulman spools
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:31 AM - daniel871: They're little bitty things next to the other spools I have.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:31 AM - donhuevo: I threw one of my turntables in there on a bed of calcium chloride
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:32 AM - daniel871: Won't drilling through the lid ruin the OXXO container? Or am I thinking of something else?
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:32 AM - Mike Kelly: their center hole is too small, they don't have a good way of securing loose filament, and they unravel crazy easy
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:32 AM - donhuevo: I'll be drilling through one of the sides
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - daniel871:
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Mike Kelly: the paranoia surounding ABS toxicity has gotten really bad
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - daniel871: Seems like it'd crack all to hell really easily.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Mike Kelly: do people not buy their kids toys?
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM - Mike Kelly: like everything is made from ABS

Jun 24, 2015 at 11:34 AM - daniel871: They make video game consoles out of ABS?
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:34 AM - daniel871: Probably do now that I think about it.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:35 AM - Mike Kelly: it's either ABS, PC, or a mix of the two
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:35 AM - Mike Kelly: you don't see much PE in consumer products unless they're bins of meant for chemicals
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:35 AM - daniel871: Oh man, 3d printed custom cases for the major consoles with 3d surfaces on them.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:36 AM - Mike Kelly: at some point i'm going to make some custom ear caps for my astro A40's

Jun 24, 2015 at 11:41 AM - daniel871: Because of the remake coming out.
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: i got it
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:58 AM - Mike Kelly: nice
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:59 AM - donhuevo: pretty
Jun 24, 2015 at 11:59 AM - Mike Kelly: and it has magnetically removable panels
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:00 PM - donhuevo: I was thinking of just sliding sheets of pvc into the v-grooves
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:01 PM - Mike Kelly: that's my kind of printer
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:01 PM - donhuevo: not quite ingentis
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd add a second Z axis support but the concepts the same
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:02 PM - daniel871: How much and where can I get one?
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:02 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:03 PM - donhuevo: I'm gonna need to make a 3rd openbuilds order for mine
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:03 PM - donhuevo: just like plumbing... always multiple trips to the hardware store
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:03 PM - daniel871: Biggest complaint I have about the robo is how hard it is to get at things inside the cover. Getting at the screws that hold the hotend in place is a pain now that I have the additional enclosure, too.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:04 PM - donhuevo: GfnW
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:04 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i know what you mean
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:05 PM - daniel871: Discovered a sharp edge inside the top of the cover the other night when reaching up to grab the filament (because it likes to curl around the inside of the cover) that laid my finger open pretty good.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:05 PM - Mike Kelly: ouch
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:05 PM - daniel871: Like a long paper cut.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:05 PM - donhuevo: at least it wasn't a pissed off garage door coming after your head
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:06 PM - daniel871: I duck when entering a garage, even though the door should be a good couple feet above my head anyway.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:07 PM - Mike Kelly: to make matters worse i walked into the corner of this: http://i.imgur.com/NedD08k.jpg
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Mike Kelly: i even had the thought when i went out to raise it so i didn't need to duck
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:08 PM - donhuevo: we gotta get you one of these Mike
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:09 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i probably need that....
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:11 PM - daniel871: I worry about the people that can't follow the simple instructions in the Cura setup thread.

 

Jun 24, 2015 at 12:14 PM - daniel871: Need to think up some kind of retaining pins or something for the X carriage so I can quickly drop and swap the volcano and v6 hotends out. I have enough parts to have each one completely assembled, but those dumb bolts are a pain and I get the feeling swapping too many times will wear them out.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:16 PM - daniel871: Or maybe something like this, but with a gate on it to hold the hotend in place and put the Wade on top. http://www.filastruder.com/collections/e3d-spare-parts-and-accessories/products/e3dv6-bulldog-mount
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:17 PM - daniel871: Or direct drive on top of it, I'm not picky.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:17 PM - donhuevo: jb printed something similar to hold the j head.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:18 PM - daniel871: Would take a lot of the guesswork out of whether the head was mounted flush/straight or not, too.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:50 PM - Mike Kelly: need to come up with something to print
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:50 PM - donhuevo: say it I will not
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:53 PM - Mike Kelly: c'mon you have better ideas than that
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:53 PM - daniel871: Print that model I posted earlier.
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:53 PM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:105551

Jun 24, 2015 at 12:55 PM - daniel871: Or this for the humor. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:219836
Jun 24, 2015 at 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't think i have a printer that could do that justice
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:01 PM - daniel871: I'm going to attempt it with the v6 and the .25 nozzle once I get that put back together. It'll run forever but I'm going to try it.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:01 PM - daniel871: Using Simplify3D's support generation/etc.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:06 PM - daniel871: I figure if the Marvin turned out so well by accident then surely it can do that bust.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:07 PM - Mike Kelly: what size did you use for the sappho
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:08 PM - daniel871: I was asked about rescaling, allowed it, then changed the scale factor from 2540 to an even 2000 or so.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:08 PM - Mike Kelly: oh
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:09 PM - daniel871: Hang on, let me open S3D again and see. It should reload in the same state it was in when I closed it.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:09 PM - daniel871: Sorry, an even 1000
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:10 PM - daniel871: Basically half the size it would be when re-scaled to millimeters.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:10 PM - daniel871: That's why it'll take forever to print. But I figure pushing for a high-quality print (and having it turn out well) would be pretty cool.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:11 PM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:17 PM - daniel871: Youtube comments.
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:25 PM - Mike Kelly:
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:26 PM - Mike Kelly: .25 nozzle is pointless if there are no features without a bend radius of .125mm
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:38 PM - Stephen Capistron: I've alway treated the bend radius when designing stuff that the interior of a corner should have a radius equal to your extrusion width
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:39 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't think interior corners are as critical as external
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:41 PM - Stephen Capistron: right
Jun 24, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Mike Kelly: http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?397,297740 here's that picture from earlier

Jun 24, 2015 at 2:17 PM - donhuevo: I'm working on gantries right now
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:39 PM - jbigler1986: Whats going on fellas
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:40 PM - donhuevo: hey jb
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:43 PM - jbigler1986: Cant wait for my new drive gear. Quality just isnt as good with direct drive
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:45 PM - jbigler1986: Think i new extruder design made to work with this drive gear would help
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: This drive gear by itself puts pressure on the filament. I want the idler to have to put pressure on it for it to get grip
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:46 PM - jbigler1986: Got any ideas don?
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:46 PM - donhuevo: I think all you need to redesign is the idler side
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:46 PM - JimBlue: Yeah, I think that is part of my problem. Getting the wheel to grip and pull the filament down to be melted doesn't seem to be working well for me.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:47 PM - donhuevo: change up the geometry a little
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:48 PM - JimBlue: After a couple of minutes, the filament does flow. But not the part where it puts down a brim for adhesion.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:48 PM - jbigler1986: At least the mounting holes for the edtruder need moved over as well
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:49 PM - JimBlue: I think a metal path for the filament to reach the melting area would be good.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:49 PM - jbigler1986: Pretty sure we dont have the same setup Jim
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:49 PM - donhuevo: do you have an extrude after heat up that matches what you take away at the end of your end code?
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:49 PM - JimBlue: Mine is stock printer, no upgrades.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:50 PM - donhuevo: ah.... damn blue. I thought I was still talking to jb. sorry jim
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:50 PM - JimBlue: No problem... one of the reasons I find chat windows confusing.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:51 PM - JimBlue: Ooops, shoutbox these days.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:51 PM - donhuevo: if it's somehow porn-related it's most likely meant for jb
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:52 PM - JimBlue: Okay... I don't thnik the robo is up to Life size.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:52 PM - jbigler1986: Whatever
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:52 PM - donhuevo: sorry jb
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:52 PM - jbigler1986: I need to find a design than i can modify to work with my parts
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:53 PM - jbigler1986: I dont want to let this drive gear defeat me
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:53 PM - JimBlue: the relative are calling me.. have fun.
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:54 PM - donhuevo: do you want my drawings for this? http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:303653/#files
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:55 PM - jbigler1986: Well i need to move the stepper over a little too
Jun 24, 2015 at 2:57 PM - donhuevo: you can have my new one if you want too but it's got some oddball hardware in it
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:03 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah trying to use the hardware i have
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:03 PM - jbigler1986: Lets see what i can find
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:04 PM - donhuevo: then I would say just rework the idler arm
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:07 PM - jbigler1986: Well either the filament hole or mounting holes need moved. I dont like it having pressure on the filament without an idler attached at all
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:07 PM - jbigler1986: It creates kind of an arc on the filament
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:07 PM - donhuevo: ya, that's not cool
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:08 PM - donhuevo: so you're reprinting that side of the extruder too
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:10 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Or a new one all together
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:11 PM - donhuevo: yep
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:14 PM - jbigler1986: The OD of the drive gear is 10.85mm
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:15 PM - donhuevo: that's tiny
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:16 PM - donhuevo: on an 8mm shaft
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:16 PM - jbigler1986: Shaft might be 6mm. Need to measure
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: I just know its bigger then 5mm
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:18 PM - Mike Glass: 5mm shafts are standard I think
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:18 PM - jbigler1986: Gregs wade with geared stepper? Ha. Lots of torque
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:19 PM - donhuevo: geared stepper from stepperonline will have an8mm shaft. almost positive
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Mike Glass: yes 8mm is also on some steppers as well
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:19 PM - Mike Glass: The ones I got for my cnc are 8mm pulley's, with 5mm adaptors.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:21 PM - jbigler1986: It has a flat on it though
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:21 PM - donhuevo: for the grub screw
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Mike Glass: aw, these have 14mm shafts http://www.amazon.com/1841oz-Torque-Stepper-Router-Plasma/dp/B00PNEQ3XQ
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Mike Glass: I should use those on the spherebot..lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Stephen Capistron: maybe if you are drawing on a planter
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: I was thinking bowling balls
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Stephen Capistron: that would work
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:26 PM - Mike Glass: Might have to redesign the holders, dont think a sucker toy end will hold it.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:26 PM - donhuevo: fake hand with three fingers
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:27 PM - Mike Glass: haha or the the flip off one.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: versa-ball
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:28 PM - Mike Glass: yeah time to go home.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:29 PM - Stephen Capistron:

 

Jun 24, 2015 at 3:34 PM - jbigler1986: Gonna throw on gregs reloaded.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:35 PM - donhuevo: did you measure your stepper shaft?
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: Not yet. Give me a minute. But pretty sure the diameter of where the flat is on the shaft is 6mm
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:36 PM - jbigler1986: It came with a little blue print.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:36 PM - donhuevo: just measured mine and it's 8
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:39 PM - jbigler1986: http://omc-stepperonline.kancart.com/item_detail/140#!detail
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:41 PM - donhuevo: yep.... yours is 6mm
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:42 PM - donhuevo: http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...ma-17-stepper-motor-17hs130404spg5-p-140.html
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:45 PM - Stephen Capistron: 6 is kind of a weird size
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:45 PM - jbigler1986: That it is
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:45 PM - donhuevo: I hear it's average
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:46 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:47 PM - donhuevo: these new drive gears are coming with a 6mm id?
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:48 PM - jbigler1986: No. 8. Probaly have to make some sort of adapter
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:49 PM - donhuevo: that's probably my fault for telling you to get 8
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:49 PM - jbigler1986: No. Options were really only 5 or 8
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:49 PM - donhuevo: damnit
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:49 PM - jbigler1986: Ladt one was 5 and i broke it trying to bore it
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:50 PM - donhuevo: you bored it to death
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:50 PM - jbigler1986: Longer set screw?
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:50 PM - donhuevo: well that too.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:50 PM - jbigler1986: Would that hold it enough? The flat helps
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:51 PM - donhuevo: it would hold it I'm sure but it would be funny watching it wobble as it turned
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:51 PM - Stephen Capistron: talk about feed and retraction problems
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:51 PM - jbigler1986: Never
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:51 PM - donhuevo: ya buddy
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:53 PM - daniel871: Print a sleeve for it and jam it all together.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:53 PM - donhuevo: oooh.. jb weld
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:53 PM - daniel871: That was only two-thirds of a pun.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:53 PM - daniel871: P U
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:54 PM - donhuevo: but I was at least two thirds serious
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:56 PM - donhuevo: problem solved! http://www.amazon.com/Geared-Steppe...186675&sr=8-4&keywords=nema+17+geared+stepper
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:58 PM - jbigler1986: No amazon prime. Thise sluts
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:58 PM - jbigler1986: Those
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:58 PM - donhuevo: didn't I hear that Kysan is like the Cadillac of steppers though?
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:59 PM - donhuevo: like the 1980's Linda Hamilton of steppers?
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:59 PM - Stephen Capistron: So old people like them?
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:00 PM - jbigler1986: Ok. Who wants to guess what the e steps will be with gregs wade and geared stepper
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Mike Kelly: why on earth would you do that
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Stephen Capistron: 3500-4000
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Mike Kelly: 25:1?
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:02 PM - donhuevo: or this... http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...-17-bipolar-stepper-17hs151684spg5-p-143.html
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:02 PM - jbigler1986: Bc geared stepper is already wired
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:03 PM - donhuevo: and 16:1 microstepping too?
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:04 PM - jbigler1986: Why not do it MK.
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: Print slow whatever you do
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: the stepper can only spin so fast
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:05 PM - jbigler1986: Never. 300mm/s
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:07 PM - Mike Kelly: it's kinda overkill is all
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:07 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i know it is
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:09 PM - jbigler1986: Curious to see if it works with the hobbed bolt is all.
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:09 PM - Mike Kelly: might also have trouble keeping up at high speeds
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:09 PM - Stephen Capistron: Mike, you ever go watch Pike's Peak hill climb?
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: Just print at 1/5th of the speed you would normally do
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: so 20mm/s
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:10 PM - jbigler1986: Hell with that. Will just find a new extruder design
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:10 PM - Stephen Capistron: could push it to 30 i suppose
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:11 PM - Stephen Capistron: Keep sitting there typing M220 S110 ... M220 S120 ... M220 S130
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:11 PM - Stephen Capistron: until you think you hit some sort of upper end
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:12 PM - donhuevo: or until the stepper starts whistling like a turbo
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:12 PM - Mike Kelly: stephen no i haven't, i really need to one year
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: while you live in state
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: it will be "all" electric soon enough too
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:13 PM - jbigler1986: Hey look at this MK
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:13 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:892451
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:14 PM - Stephen Capistron: and not because of some organizational mandate, but because it is faster which makes it super awesome
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i saw that
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:14 PM - Mike Kelly: haha for sure
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: A lot of people don't realize how much those engines struggle to breath at altitude
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah they don't really connect the dots that because we breathe with more difficulty so do cars
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:45 PM - jbigler1986: Running in that area sucks
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:57 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:400456
Jun 24, 2015 at 4:57 PM - jbigler1986: Looks cool
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:05 PM - donhuevo: how does that bearing compare to the one you have?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:06 PM - jbigler1986: Looks the same
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:08 PM - donhuevo: the 608zz is 22x7 and fits an 8mm shaft
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:08 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah my skateboard bearings have 8mm bore
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:09 PM - donhuevo: and their diameter?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:11 PM - jbigler1986: 22
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:11 PM - donhuevo: cool
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:12 PM - jbigler1986: 22x7
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:12 PM - Stephen Capistron: so what are the dimensions?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:15 PM - donhuevo: are the new drive gears going to have a bigger OD than the one in the pics?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:18 PM - jbigler1986: Then the ones i have now?
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:19 PM - donhuevo: thought you said the new ones had a 10 something diameter. Just wondering if the one in the pic was bigger or smaller
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:20 PM - jbigler1986: The ones i have now arw e 10.85 and the ones im getting are 12.5 OD
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:21 PM - donhuevo: that alone may be enough for your existing extruder to line up better
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:25 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah but wont that mess up where the filament is feeding from
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:25 PM - donhuevo: no, I think it'll fix that
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:25 PM - donhuevo: it's messed up now
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:26 PM - donhuevo: I think that extruder was designed around a bigger hob
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:29 PM - Mike Glass: elloh
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:30 PM - jbigler1986: Possible
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:32 PM - donhuevo:
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:32 PM - Bill Monroe: as you were
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:32 PM - Bill Monroe: that xtruder is yella.. yella by cracky
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:32 PM - Bill Monroe: jb has a big hob
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:34 PM - Bill Monroe: i need a snickers bar
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:34 PM - donhuevo: Marsha Marsha Marsha
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:35 PM - Bill Monroe: i think the betty white one is the best

 

Jun 24, 2015 at 5:35 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:35 PM - donhuevo: I liked that one too
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:36 PM - Bill Monroe: some advert exec hit gold with that concept
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:36 PM - Bill Monroe: ohya.. success.. I'm the one.. you guys are nahthing in my presence
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:41 PM - jbigler1986: Oh Bill. You silly
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:42 PM - Bill Monroe: hey I'm celebrating.. i got an adafruit datalogging shield to run on a Mega, when they said it wasnt supported
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:43 PM - Bill Monroe: using Labview
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:43 PM - Bill Monroe: next, to conquer the RTC
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:45 PM - Bill Monroe: whoops.. gotta go.. a set of tan lines wrapped around 2.0 is heading for the jacuzzi
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:52 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:260334
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:53 PM - jbigler1986: Thats the un modified one im using
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:53 PM - Stephen Capistron: I thought the Mk8 was too small
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:58 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:290966
Jun 24, 2015 at 5:59 PM - jbigler1986: That one looks like it was modeled for a big drive gear
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: Right now i'm in the camp of "the larger the drive gear the better"
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:10 PM - donhuevo: I'm in that camp too
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: That is why I'm liking the idea of the welding drive rollers
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: Probably an inch in diameter
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:14 PM - donhuevo: that'd be a big one
Jun 24, 2015 at 6:30 PM - jbigler1986: Thats what she said
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:08 PM - Bill Monroe: im exhausted
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:18 PM - Mike Glass: its past your bedtime bill
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:31 PM - Bill Monroe: naw.. we're gunna sit by the fire for awhile
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:32 PM - Bill Monroe: there's a heard of about 15 big horns on the hill across the road.. 2.0 is out there talking to them trying to coax them down with a head of cabbage
Jun 24, 2015 at 7:32 PM - Bill Monroe: they're all staring at her like she's nuts

 

Jun 25, 2015 2:38 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jun 25, 2015 3:17 AM - daniel871: Morning
Jun 25, 2015 3:17 AM - daniel871: One more day.
Jun 25, 2015 4:11 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Jun 25, 2015 4:41 AM - jbigler1986: Bowden set back up with gregs wade. Didnt have time to run a test print
Jun 25, 2015 4:44 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Jun 25, 2015 4:45 AM - Bill Monroe: jb, have you tried the marzelvane extruder?
Jun 25, 2015 4:51 AM - jbigler1986: nope. what is that one
Jun 25, 2015 4:52 AM - Bill Monroe: dunno, never seen one myself, but I figured if anyone had tried it, it would be you
Jun 25, 2015 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jun 25, 2015 4:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: It will help with the side fumbling
Jun 25, 2015 4:54 AM - Bill Monroe: so I hear
Jun 25, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:290966 that's the new one i'm going to try. says it works with drive gears from 10mm to 13mm. which is perfect
Jun 25, 2015 4:55 AM - Bill Monroe: I wonder if Amazon has the detractors?
Jun 25, 2015 4:55 AM - jbigler1986: gotta modify it for the v6
Jun 25, 2015 5:00 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 25, 2015 5:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: The about under the video is neat
Jun 25, 2015 5:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: I had never bothered reading it until just now
Jun 25, 2015 5:01 AM - Bill Monroe: this one is better:
Jun 25, 2015 5:15 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning robonauts
Jun 25, 2015 5:16 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Jun 25, 2015 5:18 AM - JeffTheMess: anyone know where I can get very small amount of ABS?
Jun 25, 2015 5:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: If you look around a little I'm sure someone sells sample packs
Jun 25, 2015 5:19 AM - JeffTheMess: ABs tends to be more flexible than pla right?
Jun 25, 2015 5:19 AM - JeffTheMess: as in, less rigid
Jun 25, 2015 5:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: It has a higher elongation to break
Jun 25, 2015 5:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: PLA actually has a higher tensile strength. ABS just behaves more like you would expect plastic to. As in bend don't break
Jun 25, 2015 5:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: colorfabb added PHA to their PLA to restore some of that lost flexibility
Jun 25, 2015 5:21 AM - JeffTheMess: I need very tight tolerance to snap some gears in place, when they spin they tend to start to slip out
Jun 25, 2015 5:21 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Jun 25, 2015 5:21 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 25, 2015 5:22 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'd try a nylon
Jun 25, 2015 5:22 AM - JeffTheMess: (Stephen should make his own encyclopedia about 3d printing )
Jun 25, 2015 5:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: It would probably only be about 1/4 full when complete
Jun 25, 2015 5:23 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm just good at research / finding things
Jun 25, 2015 5:24 AM - jbigler1986: what do you mean by tight tolerance?
Jun 25, 2015 5:24 AM - jbigler1986: Have you printed emmits gear cube?
Jun 25, 2015 5:25 AM - JeffTheMess: I printed some bevel gears to snap in to an L bracket
Jun 25, 2015 5:26 AM - JeffTheMess: I wish I would have snapped a pic to show you
Jun 25, 2015 5:27 AM - jbigler1986: did they just not fit?
Jun 25, 2015 5:28 AM - JeffTheMess: they fit great but since PLa isn't so flexible they need higher tolerances so the piece doesn't snap (which it has twice already)
Jun 25, 2015 5:28 AM - JeffTheMess: it breaks to easily
Jun 25, 2015 5:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: Get some nylon bridge
Jun 25, 2015 5:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: worst case scenario is it goes in the weedwacker
Jun 25, 2015 5:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: Only thing to keep in mind is that taulman's spools kind of suck
Jun 25, 2015 5:29 AM - JeffTheMess: that is true
Jun 25, 2015 5:30 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah thats why i just wanted a sample of it...i dont need much to print them
Jun 25, 2015 5:32 AM - JeffTheMess: I'll take a picture of what I have tonight and show you guys
Jun 25, 2015 5:33 AM - JeffTheMess: robo3d should make an online 3d model viewer to put on the chat so we can see it live
Jun 25, 2015 5:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: This is why I like OnShape. Anyone can use it because it is free and you can "share" the model in a number of different ways
Jun 25, 2015 5:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: Public, view and edit private, view only private, ...
Jun 25, 2015 5:37 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Jun 25, 2015 5:39 AM - Shank: anyone know anything about the LCD status
Jun 25, 2015 5:39 AM - Shank: screen
Jun 25, 2015 5:40 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning to you to shank
Jun 25, 2015 5:40 AM - Shank: good morning
Jun 25, 2015 5:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: I am irrationally anti-LCD
Jun 25, 2015 5:46 AM - Shank: i cant find where it tells the controller what to show on the LCD status screen
Jun 25, 2015 5:48 AM - Shank: it looks like a mix of the ultra_LCD.cpp and ULTRA_LCD_IMPLEMENTATION_HITACHI_HD44780_H.h
Jun 25, 2015 6:06 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i don't remember. i was looking at it when i added my custom boot screen for it. that was like 2 months ago though
Jun 25, 2015 6:15 AM - Shank: you think they would put it all in one spot
Jun 25, 2015 6:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: Open Source, too many cooks and not enough chefs
Jun 25, 2015 6:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: or maybe the otherway around
Jun 25, 2015 6:19 AM - jbigler1986: meth? what
Jun 25, 2015 6:19 AM - jbigler1986: oh sorry. wrong forum
Jun 25, 2015 6:19 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Jun 25, 2015 6:21 AM - Shank: yep wrong forum
Jun 25, 2015 6:22 AM - jbigler1986: may be the right forum for someone. who knows
Jun 25, 2015 6:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: I might have to get an LCD ...

Jun 25, 2015 6:37 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://tunell.us/
Jun 25, 2015 6:42 AM - Shank: where do you guys find all this information on mods and code changes...i cant find crap like that
Jun 25, 2015 6:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: It is my one real skill
Jun 25, 2015 6:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: I can find stuff
Jun 25, 2015 6:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: I wish the filament change code could support a change in temperature for the build plate and extruder, because I would predominantly use this as a tangle, jam, out of filament sensor and just assume kill the print.
Jun 25, 2015 6:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'm not optimistic enough to think that it could be properly resuscitated
Jun 25, 2015 7:23 AM - Shank: where is the code for the filament change
Jun 25, 2015 7:25 AM - Shank: do you want the filament change to just turn the temps off
Jun 25, 2015 7:26 AM - daniel871: Some filaments would require it. Like the Laywood types that will start burning if they stay in the hotend too long.
Jun 25, 2015 7:27 AM - Shank: so you are wanting to use the filament change as a end print and go to xy position
Jun 25, 2015 7:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: right
Jun 25, 2015 7:29 AM - Mike Glass: could you use a command to retract the filament that sitting in the hotend. Morning
Jun 25, 2015 7:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: If you are stripped you are still SOL
Jun 25, 2015 7:32 AM - Shank: filament change is a M600 command so you would have to just add the temp change in that macro location.....not much you can do if the filament stripped
Jun 25, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Glass: im not zebra
Jun 25, 2015 7:32 AM - daniel871: stripped not striped
Jun 25, 2015 7:33 AM - Mike Glass: save that for the pool dancers
Jun 25, 2015 7:33 AM - daniel871: Also still looking for something tiny/finely detailed to print with the .25 nozle that is worth setting up for.
Jun 25, 2015 7:33 AM - daniel871: nozzle
Jun 25, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Glass: I have printed quad copter blades with my .2 for my hubsan
Jun 25, 2015 7:34 AM - donhuevo: morning
Jun 25, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Glass: hey don
Jun 25, 2015 7:35 AM - donhuevo: howdy mike
Jun 25, 2015 7:35 AM - daniel871: I was thinking more along the lines of something with some delicate surface details on the top of the print.
Jun 25, 2015 7:35 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 25, 2015 7:35 AM - Mike Glass: JB
Jun 25, 2015 7:35 AM - daniel871: May just use that lithophane generator.
Jun 25, 2015 7:35 AM - donhuevo: really tiny gears
Jun 25, 2015 7:36 AM - donhuevo: maybe try and reduce emmets to 22mm OD
Jun 25, 2015 7:36 AM - daniel871: 1" diameter emmet gear.

 

Jun 25, 2015 7:36 AM - daniel871:
Jun 25, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Glass: yep I printed my parts for my mini robo with the .2 they came out nice.
Jun 25, 2015 7:36 AM - donhuevo: 22, 25.4... whatever it takes
Jun 25, 2015 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: don I hooked bowden back up this morning with gregs wade for now. didn't have time to run a test print. lol
Jun 25, 2015 7:38 AM - donhuevo: alrighty
Jun 25, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: how is it going MG
Jun 25, 2015 7:39 AM - jbigler1986: gonna print a new extruder with it. if I get that far. We shall see
Jun 25, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Glass: busy, alot of issues here at work. but on a good note, I almost have the spherebot running.
Jun 25, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Kelly: mornin
Jun 25, 2015 7:40 AM - jbigler1986: always look at the good things
Jun 25, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Jun 25, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Glass: mornin
Jun 25, 2015 7:42 AM - daniel871: I'll just be glad to get up and running again this weekend after getting the new heater hooked up.
Jun 25, 2015 7:43 AM - jbigler1986: i can get running. i saw the quality i can get with bowden so i'm trying what i can to get it running without buying something like the bondtech
Jun 25, 2015 7:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: welder drive roller
Jun 25, 2015 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: still would need a new extruder design
Jun 25, 2015 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: which i'm working on now
Jun 25, 2015 7:46 AM - jbigler1986: what is the OD of those
Jun 25, 2015 7:47 AM - Mike Glass: Hmm you can now buy thompson shafts on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Thomson-QS-12...=1435243720&sr=1-3&keywords=12mm+linear+shaft
Jun 25, 2015 7:47 AM - Stephen Capistron: I have no idea
Jun 25, 2015 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: use your search skills.
Jun 25, 2015 7:48 AM - Mike Glass: haha
Jun 25, 2015 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: those shafts are nice
Jun 25, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Glass: 59inches for that price not bad.
Jun 25, 2015 7:49 AM - donhuevo: I was thinking about 500mm of travel and maybe 8mm was too skinny for that
Jun 25, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: i would agree
Jun 25, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: might get a tiny tiny sag/wobble which would not be fun
Jun 25, 2015 7:50 AM - Mike Glass: naw these are what you need don. http://www.amazon.com/Thomson-QS-72...8?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1435243853&sr=1-18
Jun 25, 2015 7:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: those linear bearings ... http://www.amazon.com/MultiTrac-Bus...pebp=1435243935959&perid=0SVD8W9SPBGA81KC0GH0
Jun 25, 2015 7:51 AM - donhuevo: oooh
Jun 25, 2015 7:51 AM - jbigler1986: damn $54 a piece
Jun 25, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Glass: that may be a little overkill
Jun 25, 2015 7:55 AM - Stephen Capistron: the inch materials seem less expensive than the metric
Jun 25, 2015 7:56 AM - daniel871: What part would those replace?
Jun 25, 2015 7:57 AM - jbigler1986: x axis
Jun 25, 2015 8:04 AM - daniel871: Ball screw and thru-motor axis setups for all axes.
Jun 25, 2015 8:07 AM - donhuevo: how about this... core xy setup. the bed on two linear stepper with 4 smooth rods in each corner. Two of those rods spin with the xy motors and the other two hold belt pulleys
Jun 25, 2015 8:11 AM - donhuevo:
Jun 25, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Glass: ya lost me
Jun 25, 2015 8:13 AM - daniel871: What about the Z-movement?
Jun 25, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Mike did find a nice M3 cap screws kit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R61A77C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A5E984U90G1AK
Jun 25, 2015 8:14 AM - donhuevo: z linear steppers aren't in that picture but they would go center top and center bottom
Jun 25, 2015 8:15 AM - donhuevo: wouldn't want to use linear ball bearings as the rods would be spinning in them. Igus bushings instead
Jun 25, 2015 8:15 AM - Stephen Capistron: I just buy 25mm m3 and if they are ever too long they will have a date with a pair of bolt cutters
Jun 25, 2015 8:17 AM - daniel871: Sometimes my spam emails are scary. http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ALDNR/bulletins/10b9431
Jun 25, 2015 8:17 AM - donhuevo: I'm not clicking on that and you can't make me
Jun 25, 2015 8:19 AM - jbigler1986: you are your works IT right?
Jun 25, 2015 8:19 AM - daniel871: It's about some state park doing a King of the Hill themed party somewhere.
Jun 25, 2015 8:19 AM - daniel871: No, I'm not IT, I'm Engineering.
Jun 25, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: Which is probably worse on a lot of levels.
Jun 25, 2015 8:20 AM - donhuevo: I'm IT so's MG
Jun 25, 2015 8:20 AM - JeffTheMess: ^
Jun 25, 2015 8:20 AM - JeffTheMess: dito
Jun 25, 2015 8:20 AM - jbigler1986: so just click it. Do it
Jun 25, 2015 8:21 AM - daniel871: Meth trailer spotted. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/rvs/5080746883.html
Jun 25, 2015 8:21 AM - donhuevo: perfect timing, I was looking to upgrade mine
Jun 25, 2015 8:21 AM - jbigler1986: done. money order sent
Jun 25, 2015 8:21 AM - jbigler1986: it's real i swear
Jun 25, 2015 8:22 AM - daniel871: "I need to sell this for health reasons" is the new "I'm trying to get rid of evidence of a felony"
Jun 25, 2015 8:24 AM - jbigler1986: well yeah. cooking meth in that is bad for you
Jun 25, 2015 8:26 AM - WheresWaldo: @donheuvo, did you see the presentation by the Igus engineer on YouTube. Had a bunch of technical info including when not to use their plastic bushings.
Jun 25, 2015 8:27 AM - WheresWaldo: Oops, I guess he left.
Jun 25, 2015 8:27 AM - donhuevo: I didn't see that
Jun 25, 2015 8:27 AM - jbigler1986: nah he is here
Jun 25, 2015 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: although you are not on the "members online list" hmmm
Jun 25, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: he's hiding from you guys
Jun 25, 2015 8:28 AM - jbigler1986: so r u
Jun 25, 2015 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: mike that's an interesting kit though all very small length
Jun 25, 2015 8:28 AM - WheresWaldo:
Jun 25, 2015 8:29 AM - donhuevo: incognito
Jun 25, 2015 8:31 AM - WheresWaldo: It would appear that ideal setup with two rails is fixed/floating bearings, not fixed/fixed.
Jun 25, 2015 8:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: the plastic bushings do not like shaft misalignment so that needs to be incorporated in the design
Jun 25, 2015 8:35 AM - donhuevo: just saying, it would be an elegant solution if it could be pulled off
Jun 25, 2015 8:35 AM - WheresWaldo: Stephen, thats why Igus suggests Fixed/Float as the bearing arrangement.
Jun 25, 2015 8:36 AM - WheresWaldo: They claim that arrangement is better for severe misalignment, much better than ball bearings.
Jun 25, 2015 8:40 AM - WheresWaldo: Igus is releasing a 3D printable material so you can print your own Drylin bearings.
Jun 25, 2015 8:40 AM - WheresWaldo: Never seen it, but it might be available already. I would think it might be pretty spendy.
Jun 25, 2015 8:40 AM - donhuevo: tribo filament. got a sample last year and played with it a little
Jun 25, 2015 8:41 AM - WheresWaldo: How was it?
Jun 25, 2015 8:41 AM - donhuevo: couldn't get good layer-layer adhesion
Jun 25, 2015 8:42 AM - WheresWaldo: So is drylin cost effective for individual makers?
Jun 25, 2015 8:44 AM - donhuevo: http://www.igus.com/iPro/iPro_02_0017_0000_USen.htm?c=US&l=en
Jun 25, 2015 8:52 AM - WheresWaldo: I am not sure I would want to use those. I think these are more appropriate: http://www.igus.com/wpck/3542/DryLin_R_Lineargleitlager
Jun 25, 2015 8:54 AM - jbigler1986: having to get a quote is annoying
Jun 25, 2015 8:56 AM - Stephen Capistron: punch the part number into amazon
Jun 25, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: the only issue with the bushings is the hole you're putting it in. It needs to be adjustable
Jun 25, 2015 8:58 AM - jbigler1986: $48 for 1. no thanks
Jun 25, 2015 8:59 AM - WheresWaldo: Even quality linear ball bearings from Misumi are cheaper.
Jun 25, 2015 8:59 AM - donhuevo: the bushings I got were less than $1 ea
Jun 25, 2015 9:00 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=RJUI-21
Jun 25, 2015 9:00 AM - WheresWaldo: But this application should be bearings not bushings, also the increased inertia required to start moving a bushing rather than a bearing could make for less precision.
Jun 25, 2015 9:01 AM - daniel871: Just get oil-impregnated bushings.
Jun 25, 2015 9:01 AM - WheresWaldo: Then you aren't talking about plastic
Jun 25, 2015 9:02 AM - daniel871: F-plastic.
Jun 25, 2015 9:02 AM - daniel871: http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-sleeve-bearings/=xs1hh7
Jun 25, 2015 9:02 AM - donhuevo: the bushings are good for linear AND rotation
Jun 25, 2015 9:02 AM - WheresWaldo: Whole point of plastic bushings/bearings is that there is no need for lubrication, and that they can run quieter also.
Jun 25, 2015 9:03 AM - daniel871: Or these. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-sleeve-bearings/=xs1hw1
Jun 25, 2015 9:04 AM - daniel871: Or go all out and get something from this set. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-sleeve-bearings/=xs1ic5
Jun 25, 2015 9:04 AM - daniel871: For "extreme" environments.

 

Jun 25, 2015 9:08 AM - Stephen Capistron: The only "good" place for these on a printer is the z-axis
Jun 25, 2015 9:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: and the gain there is minimal
Jun 25, 2015 9:09 AM - daniel871: Maybe inside the Mostly Printed CNC tool holder.
Jun 25, 2015 9:10 AM - Stephen Capistron: Daniel, you need to link to the product detail page
Jun 25, 2015 9:10 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.mcmaster.com/#5448t3/=xs1l6p
Jun 25, 2015 9:10 AM - WheresWaldo: Maybe the Y also, total overkill on Z axis was my thinking
Jun 25, 2015 9:10 AM - donhuevo: if y, then x too
Jun 25, 2015 9:10 AM - daniel871: That wasn't remotely the one I was looking at. Weird URLs.
Jun 25, 2015 9:11 AM - WheresWaldo: This is still a better choice and likely much better quality than the cheap Chinese 10 for $10 bearings: http://www.mcmaster.com/#61205k75/=xs1kvz
Jun 25, 2015 9:11 AM - daniel871: http://www.mcmaster.com/#7943k24/=xs1lvs
Jun 25, 2015 9:12 AM - WheresWaldo: So you guys keep linking to imperial sized bearings, are all of you running Kickstarter Robo's?
Jun 25, 2015 9:13 AM - daniel871: http://www.mcmaster.com/#6638k3/=xs1mp3
Jun 25, 2015 9:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: those are probably thomson's or some equivalent
Jun 25, 2015 9:17 AM - WheresWaldo: Doesn't McMaster also carry SKF? Does SKF even make linear ball bearings?
Jun 25, 2015 9:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: They might. I just know McMaster always delivers a quality product without letting you know what brand it is up front.
Jun 25, 2015 9:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: A lot of the hand tools are Snap-On for instance
Jun 25, 2015 9:20 AM - WheresWaldo: I think these are SKF, they look identical to the ones in SKF's catalog. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-linear-bearings/=xs1pno
Jun 25, 2015 9:21 AM - WheresWaldo: Oops, these are metric: http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-linear-bearings/=xs1qgz
Jun 25, 2015 9:22 AM - jbigler1986: i have no issues with my 10 for $10 china ones
Jun 25, 2015 9:24 AM - WheresWaldo: Neither do I, but Thought this discussion was about bearing upgrades. Can't see how spending $100-200 on bearings will really benefit a $700 printer.
Jun 25, 2015 9:24 AM - donhuevo: it would turn it into a $900 printer
Jun 25, 2015 9:25 AM - WheresWaldo: And everyone knows that $900 is better than $700.
Jun 25, 2015 9:25 AM - Stephen Capistron: a small block will benefit a chevette, whether that is a noble cause or not is another question
Jun 25, 2015 9:25 AM - jbigler1986: may have to get a few of the don and make some some drive gears http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-sleeve-bearings/=xs1scu
Jun 25, 2015 9:26 AM - WheresWaldo: I always snicker at my friends with their spending money on ceramic bearings for their bicycles, but if they want to throw away money, who am i to judge.
Jun 25, 2015 9:26 AM - jbigler1986: except 6mm ID. woops
Jun 25, 2015 9:27 AM - jbigler1986: think 10mm is long enough don? not sure if it is
Jun 25, 2015 9:27 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think you guys are posting bunk mcmaster links just to drive me nuts
Jun 25, 2015 9:29 AM - jbigler1986: it's a guessing game
Jun 25, 2015 9:29 AM - WheresWaldo: Is it odd that McMaster lists a PTFE Metric Plastic sleeve bearing with inside diameters of 6 and 9 mm but no 8 mm?
Jun 25, 2015 9:32 AM - WheresWaldo: That is McMaster's webside, it is set up so that your content comes up in a #div of the parent page, so if you pull the link from the address bar you always go to the main category page, Product details is the link you really want.
Jun 25, 2015 9:32 AM - jbigler1986: you looked into that to much.
Jun 25, 2015 9:34 AM - WheresWaldo: Yeah maybe.
Jun 25, 2015 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: McMaster can do no wrong
Jun 25, 2015 9:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: their search / browse setup is the best
Jun 25, 2015 9:36 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 25, 2015 9:36 AM - jbigler1986: looks pretty familiar
Jun 25, 2015 9:36 AM - WheresWaldo: If these were 15 mm OD they would have been direct drop in replacements for LM8UU: http://www.mcmaster.com/#60605k92/=xs1vwa
Jun 25, 2015 9:37 AM - jbigler1986: SC, did you find any specs on those driver rollers?
Jun 25, 2015 9:38 AM - Stephen Capistron: nope
Jun 25, 2015 9:39 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think it would be one of those things where you just order it and figure the rest out later
Jun 25, 2015 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jun 25, 2015 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: or go to the local supplier
Jun 25, 2015 9:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: "hey can I see one of these" <then takes out calipers>
Jun 25, 2015 9:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: At the 40 minute mark of that igus video is a pretty impressive pick and place delta setup
Jun 25, 2015 9:46 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 25, 2015 9:50 AM - donhuevo: those were freaky fast
Jun 25, 2015 9:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: yeah pretty crazy. That is why people like them some delta printers
Jun 25, 2015 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: http://deezmaker.com/store/#!/~/product/category=0&id=24043350
Jun 25, 2015 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: nvm. out of stock
Jun 25, 2015 10:06 AM - jbigler1986: need to find a 5mm that has a thick enough wall to bore it out
Jun 25, 2015 10:06 AM - jbigler1986: this is like what i had http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/thumb/9/96/MK8.jpg/493px-MK8.jpg
Jun 25, 2015 10:08 AM - donhuevo: http://reprap.org/wiki/Drive-gear
Jun 25, 2015 10:11 AM - donhuevo: sucks about the tatsu 6mm bore being out of stock
Jun 25, 2015 10:12 AM - jbigler1986: i know. looks awesome
Jun 25, 2015 10:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://twelvepro.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=75
Jun 25, 2015 10:13 AM - jbigler1986: i think if i bored it that it would break like mine did where the teeth are
Jun 25, 2015 10:13 AM - Stephen Capistron: wrong one, http://twelvepro.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=51
Jun 25, 2015 10:14 AM - Stephen Capistron: 304ss so it is relatively easy to drill
Jun 25, 2015 10:15 AM - jbigler1986: also looks like it has a thick enough wall to be bored
Jun 25, 2015 10:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: 15/64ths drill bit will get you super close
Jun 25, 2015 10:16 AM - Stephen Capistron: to 6mm
Jun 25, 2015 10:18 AM - Stephen Capistron: "A" Size is also a hair small.
Jun 25, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: what
Jun 25, 2015 10:19 AM - donhuevo: looks like it has a ton of meat on it
Jun 25, 2015 10:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.gearhob.com/eng/design/drill_eng.htm
Jun 25, 2015 10:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: I would not over-drill the hole. You want to maintain good centering on the shaft
Jun 25, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. if anything i will press it on
Jun 25, 2015 10:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: use this method >
Jun 25, 2015 10:21 AM - Stephen Capistron: Put the drive gear in the drill and the bit in the vise
Jun 25, 2015 10:26 AM - Mike Kelly: man long meeting
Jun 25, 2015 10:26 AM - jbigler1986: ordered 2. cheap enough
Jun 25, 2015 10:26 AM - donhuevo: long vision quest
Jun 25, 2015 10:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: I am surprised at how cheap those things are.
Jun 25, 2015 10:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: $4 and from Brooklyn
Jun 25, 2015 10:29 AM - jbigler1986: ikr. that's why i ordered a couple
Jun 25, 2015 10:29 AM - donhuevo: suppose it is past time for ikr to be a thing
Jun 25, 2015 10:30 AM - donhuevo: I'm still trying to get ffs off the ground
Jun 25, 2015 10:30 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Jun 25, 2015 10:30 AM - jbigler1986: ABfnS?
Jun 25, 2015 10:31 AM - donhuevo: HfnC, GfnW, MfnK
Jun 25, 2015 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a pretty clever way to drill out the center hole
Jun 25, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: George Washington?
Jun 25, 2015 10:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: i love that little trick
Jun 25, 2015 10:31 AM - donhuevo: Gregs Wade
Jun 25, 2015 10:32 AM - Mike Kelly: basically makes your drill press into a vertical lathe
Jun 25, 2015 10:32 AM - daniel871:
Jun 25, 2015 10:32 AM - Stephen Capistron: learnt you something new today
Jun 25, 2015 10:32 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i will use that for sure
Jun 25, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i need to invest in a set of metric drill bits
Jun 25, 2015 10:35 AM - jbigler1986:
Jun 25, 2015 10:35 AM - donhuevo: Harbor Freight... no investment required
Jun 25, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: do they sell them?
Jun 25, 2015 10:36 AM - daniel871: They sell everything, just don't expect it to hold up for a production line scenario.
Jun 25, 2015 10:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: i am not sure if they carry metric
Jun 25, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't think they have metric
Jun 25, 2015 10:36 AM - daniel871: They're like the Hobby Lobby of tooling.
Jun 25, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: though they do sell forstner bits...
Jun 25, 2015 10:37 AM - daniel871: http://www.harborfreight.com/metric-drill-tap-deburr-bit-set-95529.html
Jun 25, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: oh man and tapered countersunk bits

 

Jun 25, 2015 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: GOD DAMN YOU HARBOR FREIGHT
Jun 25, 2015 10:38 AM - Mike Kelly: i believe those are just drill/tap combo
Jun 25, 2015 10:38 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Jun 25, 2015 10:39 AM - daniel871: Only metric set they have though.
Jun 25, 2015 10:39 AM - daniel871: Going by their site search feature.
Jun 25, 2015 10:39 AM - jbigler1986: amazon is your friend

Jun 25, 2015 10:40 AM - daniel871: Amazon is the go-to place for a lot of stuff anyway thanks to Prime.
Jun 25, 2015 10:40 AM - Stephen Capistron: eh, i think just go with the 100+ piece set of SAE and make it work
Jun 25, 2015 10:40 AM - daniel871: Get it in two days without having to go out of my way to buy it at a storefront.
Jun 25, 2015 10:40 AM - jbigler1986: and if you don't have prime GTFO
Jun 25, 2015 10:41 AM - jbigler1986: hell you can get it next day or even same day now
Jun 25, 2015 10:42 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i buy most everything from amazon these days
Jun 25, 2015 10:42 AM - Mike Kelly: harbor freight is just so cheap
Jun 25, 2015 10:43 AM - daniel871: Prime paid for itself several times over for the Robo.
Jun 25, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: i buy stuff from there weekly
Jun 25, 2015 10:44 AM - daniel871: Also filament shipping is great for JustPLA.
Jun 25, 2015 10:44 AM - jbigler1986: just getting the stuff so fast was enough for me
Jun 25, 2015 10:44 AM - daniel871: Screw those other places that take up to a week.
Jun 25, 2015 10:45 AM - Mike Kelly: i really need printed solid to pay me for what he owes so i can get some more hobby money
Jun 25, 2015 10:45 AM - daniel871: Was I the only one disappointed by that Eumakers filament sample a while back
Jun 25, 2015 10:45 AM - daniel871: ?
Jun 25, 2015 10:45 AM - daniel871: Don't recall if we talked about it here or not.
Jun 25, 2015 10:46 AM - donhuevo: have you been cheating on us Daniel?
Jun 25, 2015 10:46 AM - daniel871: Being here is actually cheating on my "home" forum for talking about stuff.
Jun 25, 2015 10:47 AM - daniel871: But they don't have a chat box, so.
Jun 25, 2015 10:47 AM - Mike Kelly: that would be the worst chatbox
Jun 25, 2015 10:48 AM - donhuevo: shoebox full of stickies on the dining room table
Jun 25, 2015 10:48 AM - daniel871: Dickbutt memes and goatse forever.
Jun 25, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: though this forum also doesn't have 6000+ members on at any given moment
Jun 25, 2015 10:49 AM - daniel871: I like how the instant something becomes known outside that forum they immediately hate it.
Jun 25, 2015 10:49 AM - Mike Kelly: :awesome: is the worst thing SA ever did to the world
Jun 25, 2015 10:49 AM - daniel871: (the coupon sub-forum saves me a ton of money on stuff though)
Jun 25, 2015 10:50 AM - daniel871: I'd say that would actually be SWAP.AVI, but seeing as that is no longer anywhere to show unsuspecting people it probably doesn't matter.
Jun 25, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah that's more the most disgusting thing SA ever did to the world
Jun 25, 2015 10:51 AM - daniel871: Spawning 4chan?
Jun 25, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: i mean they can't really be blamed for the people who were to cheap to spend :10bux:
Jun 25, 2015 10:52 AM - daniel871: Nah, that's SomethingPositive (the forum for crybabies that get banned for being stupid)
Jun 25, 2015 10:53 AM - daniel871: Not the comic, the weirdo forum.
Jun 25, 2015 10:53 AM - Mike Kelly: never knew about that one i guess
Jun 25, 2015 10:53 AM - Mike Kelly: i've seen a number of offshoots through the years
Jun 25, 2015 10:55 AM - daniel871: I actually think that one may be vapor right now because the kid running it paid for hosting and ran out of money.
Jun 25, 2015 10:56 AM - Mike Kelly: sounds like waffleimages
Jun 25, 2015 10:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: i have no clue what any of you are talking about, i live in a bubble
Jun 25, 2015 10:57 AM - daniel871: Fun times there though, like flooding into that Tea Party Facebook knockoff and invoking Poe's Law over and over.
Jun 25, 2015 10:57 AM - donhuevo: Poe's Law... Starks Law what the hell
Jun 25, 2015 10:58 AM - daniel871: Poe's Law is where a group's position is so extreme that you cannot tell when people are making fun of it or being serious any more.
Jun 25, 2015 10:59 AM - daniel871: Like people on that Tea Party site repeatedly sharing the PissChrist image and talking about how beautiful it is without knowing where it came from.
Jun 25, 2015 10:59 AM - daniel871: (pretty sure that was a bunch of SA people trolling though)
Jun 25, 2015 11:00 AM - Shank: did any of you have to change the flow rate when using a volcano add on?
Jun 25, 2015 11:00 AM - daniel871: No, I just lowered the temperature.
Jun 25, 2015 11:00 AM - daniel871: Like, what would extrude at 195-200 on the v6 would drop to 180-185 on the volcano.
Jun 25, 2015 11:02 AM - daniel871: Could probably even get away with it as low as 175 but I was a little nervous about going that low.
Jun 25, 2015 11:02 AM - Shank: alright thanks, i will give that a go
Jun 25, 2015 11:11 AM - daniel871: Just be ready to adjust with the LCD controller as you watch it.
Jun 25, 2015 11:11 AM - daniel871: Standard "every printer behaves slightly differently* disclaimer and all that.
Jun 25, 2015 11:19 AM - Shank: alright will do
Jun 25, 2015 11:37 AM - jbigler1986: ahhhhhhhhh
Jun 25, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: agreed
Jun 25, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: almost friday is a terrible day
Jun 25, 2015 11:40 AM - jbigler1986: true that
Jun 25, 2015 11:43 AM - daniel871: Just think, 3 more days until Monday.
Jun 25, 2015 11:44 AM - jbigler1986: hey hey hey
Jun 25, 2015 11:44 AM - Mike Glass: I need a week off, after this crap.. Im ready to go back to private
Jun 25, 2015 11:44 AM - jbigler1986: none of that
Jun 25, 2015 11:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: I've had no work to do today it has been tough
Jun 25, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i actually have work which is nice
Jun 25, 2015 11:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: I could also say that for the last several months too
Jun 25, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: a bit tedious though
Jun 25, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: Our internet company just asked if I wanted to terminate fiber for them, I said dont temp me...haha
Jun 25, 2015 11:47 AM - daniel871: Hm... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:846403
Jun 25, 2015 11:47 AM - Mike Kelly: just use the hercustruder
Jun 25, 2015 11:47 AM - Mike Kelly: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/hercustruder
Jun 25, 2015 11:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:893849
Jun 25, 2015 11:48 AM - Mike Kelly: god damn walter
Jun 25, 2015 11:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: i know right
Jun 25, 2015 11:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: or as JB might say "ikr"
Jun 25, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Kelly: he makes me feel like the worst designer
Jun 25, 2015 11:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: he does have a nice touch
Jun 25, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Kelly: his photobooth also makes everything look super nice
Jun 25, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Kelly: need to invest in one of them
Jun 25, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Kelly: just need to work out a higher hobby budget with the CEO
Jun 25, 2015 11:53 AM - Stephen Capistron: My only complaint with some of his stuff is it can be a little big
Jun 25, 2015 11:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: The tank extruder is pretty wide and this thing is also a bit large
Jun 25, 2015 11:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: But it looks wicked cool
Jun 25, 2015 11:55 AM - daniel871: Hahahah. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:897868
Jun 25, 2015 11:55 AM - donhuevo: do love a good squirrel cage
Jun 25, 2015 11:59 AM - jbigler1986: yeah still no response on that tank extruder
Jun 25, 2015 12:00 PM - Mike Glass: any word from braydon?
Jun 25, 2015 12:00 PM - daniel871: Print it, take measurements, re-model in Solidworks, then remix?
Jun 25, 2015 12:00 PM - jbigler1986: nope. nothing on that either. I told harry he could respond. nodda
Jun 25, 2015 12:05 PM - daniel871: Um... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:895877
Jun 25, 2015 12:05 PM - Mike Glass: CEO=Wifey?
Jun 25, 2015 12:06 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Jun 25, 2015 12:06 PM - Mike Kelly: i guess in this instance she'd be the CFO
Jun 25, 2015 12:06 PM - Mike Kelly: either way she's the boss
Jun 25, 2015 12:08 PM - Mike Glass: oh poo, hey how are the parts coming for the MPCNC
Jun 25, 2015 12:09 PM - jbigler1986: yep. mine is the boss as well. As much as I hate to admit it. It's the truth
Jun 25, 2015 12:09 PM - Mike Kelly: any married guy who says otherwise is only trying to convince himself

 

Jun 25, 2015 12:09 PM - Mike Kelly: i've got over half the parts printed for the MPCNC but i ran out of red
Jun 25, 2015 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: and the red jb got me is like... salmon
Jun 25, 2015 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: and it's also not the best print quality
Jun 25, 2015 12:10 PM - Mike Kelly: so i ordered another red from seemecnc and should get here by tomorrow
Jun 25, 2015 12:10 PM - jbigler1986: hey now. that was some expensive filament alright
Jun 25, 2015 12:10 PM - daniel871: What was the material again?
Jun 25, 2015 12:11 PM - Mike Kelly: ABS
Jun 25, 2015 12:11 PM - daniel871: Oh.
Jun 25, 2015 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: good ole shaxon
Jun 25, 2015 12:11 PM - daniel871: I was planning to do it in PET+.
Jun 25, 2015 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: i haven't had any issues with their pla
Jun 25, 2015 12:12 PM - daniel871: Because I've got enough spools of it in black for that.
Jun 25, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Kelly: pet+ would be a good choice
Jun 25, 2015 12:12 PM - daniel871: the MPCNC as probably the Eustathios Spider stuff, too.
Jun 25, 2015 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: Petg should work good.
Jun 25, 2015 12:13 PM - daniel871: Figure I won't have to worry about it ruining over time just sitting around until I get around to buying the electronics/metal bits.
Jun 25, 2015 12:14 PM - Mike Kelly: i still got some more stuff to buy but kinda got to space out the spending
Jun 25, 2015 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: if i don't get bowden working with a new drive gear/extruder i'm going to look at mouting it on the case
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - donhuevo: same here. Just found out I need a new roof
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - Mike Kelly: oh boo
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: ouch
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - Mike Kelly: i was worried our roof was leaking
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - Mike Kelly: but i think it's ok
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: do it yourself don?
Jun 25, 2015 12:15 PM - Mike Glass: Roofs are the worst cost in home repair, unless you diy.
Jun 25, 2015 12:16 PM - jbigler1986: roofing is not fun but will save you a ton if you diy
Jun 25, 2015 12:16 PM - Mike Glass: I still have a case of nails for the porter cable roofing nailer if you need some
Jun 25, 2015 12:16 PM - donhuevo: DIY really isn't in the cards for me but we do have an endless supply of Amish
Jun 25, 2015 12:17 PM - jbigler1986: they do great work. not sure if they charge a ton or not
Jun 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah climbing on a roof and bending over to put in nails 6 months after back surgerydoes not sound the best
Jun 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: it's hilarious to me robo uses
Jun 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: 723.38
Jun 25, 2015 12:17 PM - Mike Kelly: for E steps
Jun 25, 2015 12:17 PM - donhuevo: nope. neither does carrying the shingles up the ladder
Jun 25, 2015 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: why do they think it's necessary to have 2 units of precision
Jun 25, 2015 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: just get a bed liner sprayed on your roof, you will never have to replace it.
Jun 25, 2015 12:18 PM - donhuevo: ooh
Jun 25, 2015 12:18 PM - Mike Kelly: aluminum panels!
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - daniel871: I said F-it and got a metal roof after storms tore up mine the last time.
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - donhuevo: pricey?
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - daniel871: Surprisingly not.
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - jbigler1986: hey i use 523.84924 steps
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - Mike Glass: metal is like 15% more cost
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - daniel871: Only paid like $2,500 for mine, but it's a small roof anyway.
Jun 25, 2015 12:20 PM - jbigler1986: that's what my calculator said so i had to use all digits right?
Jun 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Mike Glass: I would go metal next time I replace ours.
Jun 25, 2015 12:21 PM - jbigler1986: metal is so loud
Jun 25, 2015 12:21 PM - daniel871: Get it in a reflective color and you can probably swing an energy-saver tax credit, too.
Jun 25, 2015 12:21 PM - Mike Glass: with 30' height it wont be an issue
Jun 25, 2015 12:21 PM - daniel871: I haven't really noticed any more noise than usual except for getting a low thrumming sound during rain.
Jun 25, 2015 12:22 PM - daniel871: Which is actually relaxing.
Jun 25, 2015 12:22 PM - Mike Glass: its a nice sound thought
Jun 25, 2015 12:22 PM - Mike Glass: though
Jun 25, 2015 12:22 PM - daniel871: Rain on metal roof = best sleeping weather.
Jun 25, 2015 12:22 PM - Mike Glass: Maybe when its hailing it sound like the world is ending
Jun 25, 2015 12:22 PM - donhuevo: wonder if they sell a 10 year tarp
Jun 25, 2015 12:23 PM - daniel871: Nah, then you're all "Haha, fuck you hail, you aren't ruining my roof this time!"
Jun 25, 2015 12:23 PM - Mike Glass: lmao
Jun 25, 2015 12:23 PM - Mike Glass: just do what they do on trailers, throw up a tarp and a bunch of tires.
Jun 25, 2015 12:23 PM - Mike Kelly: hahaha
Jun 25, 2015 12:24 PM - donhuevo: might have to
Jun 25, 2015 12:24 PM - daniel871: You will have to watch out if it snows though, because ice sheets can screw up exterior walls if they hit the ground and then rebound off said walls.
Jun 25, 2015 12:24 PM - donhuevo: I'm still hurting from the boiler last fall
Jun 25, 2015 12:24 PM - Mike Glass: your boiler fell?
Jun 25, 2015 12:25 PM - donhuevo: no the cost of replacing it hurt me
Jun 25, 2015 12:25 PM - donhuevo: in my ass
Jun 25, 2015 12:25 PM - daniel871: Don't keep your money up there and that won't be a problem.
Jun 25, 2015 12:25 PM - donhuevo: haha
Jun 25, 2015 12:26 PM - Mike Kelly: print something for that, it'll be cheaper
Jun 25, 2015 12:26 PM - daniel871: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:103003
Jun 25, 2015 12:27 PM - donhuevo: really thought you were gonna repost the butt plug
Jun 25, 2015 12:27 PM - Mike Kelly: ^
Jun 25, 2015 12:27 PM - daniel871: I'm surprised how many of those show up in the Recent Things pages.
Jun 25, 2015 12:28 PM - daniel871: Laughed at that last one and the "This is for decoration only, be careful about actually using it"
Jun 25, 2015 12:28 PM - donhuevo: it should really be a requirement for new inventions... can it be used for sex and will it make said sex better
Jun 25, 2015 12:28 PM - jbigler1986: lmao
Jun 25, 2015 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: hey that is not a butt plug. it's a decorative piece
Jun 25, 2015 12:29 PM - daniel871: Like the great Emancipator said.
Jun 25, 2015 12:29 PM - daniel871:
Jun 25, 2015 12:29 PM - donhuevo: screw cup holders, auto manufacturer's should be spending money to R&D more 'sex-friendly' back seats
Jun 25, 2015 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:827266
Jun 25, 2015 12:30 PM - daniel871: That's what the cup holders are for, though.
Jun 25, 2015 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: "Help! I printed one of these egg cups and then fell on it, but I really enjoyed it!"
Jun 25, 2015 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: first comment. lmao
Jun 25, 2015 12:30 PM - jbigler1986: wtf. oh, so thats what all those things are i found in my dads dresser!
Jun 25, 2015 12:31 PM - Mike Kelly: reminds me of that scrubs scene
Jun 25, 2015 12:31 PM - daniel871: Wonder if there are any 3dhubs out there that get endless requests to print 3d scans of dicks near college towns.
Jun 25, 2015 12:31 PM - daniel871: For frats that try to copy that one Seth Rogen movie.
Jun 25, 2015 12:31 PM - jbigler1986: wtf
Jun 25, 2015 12:32 PM - daniel871: There was a gag in The Neighbors where the frat next door did a fundraiser selling 3d printed dildos to the women in the neighborhood to fund some huge party.
Jun 25, 2015 12:33 PM - daniel871: It was the same movie that had random airbags set to go off on couches/chairs around the house.
Jun 25, 2015 12:33 PM - donhuevo: Neighbors
Jun 25, 2015 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: i hear that was pretty funny
Jun 25, 2015 12:33 PM - donhuevo: it was
Jun 25, 2015 12:33 PM - daniel871: It was, but most of the funny stuff was in the trailers.
Jun 25, 2015 12:34 PM - jbigler1986: like usual
Jun 25, 2015 12:34 PM - daniel871: Everyone was cringing about whether there would be an airbag in the baby crib.
Jun 25, 2015 12:35 PM - daniel871: (kind of surprised there wasn't after the loose condom in the yard the baby was playing with)
Jun 25, 2015 12:36 PM - donhuevo:
Jun 25, 2015 12:37 PM - daniel871: Every one of those would've killed someone in real life, lol.

 

Jun 25, 2015 12:37 PM - daniel871: (mostly because of the low-ceiling impacts)
Jun 25, 2015 12:38 PM - jbigler1986: they won't shoot you that high
Jun 25, 2015 12:38 PM - daniel871:
Jun 25, 2015 12:40 PM - Mike Kelly: the rag doll didn't give it away?
Jun 25, 2015 12:40 PM - daniel871: The bit with the boobs "hulking out" was probably the funniest bit.
Jun 25, 2015 12:42 PM - daniel871: Anybody see Jurassic World yet?
Jun 25, 2015 12:43 PM - Mike Kelly: nope, something about training dinosaurs deeply offends me
Jun 25, 2015 12:43 PM - donhuevo: I would at least want to potty train them. Could you imagine?
Jun 25, 2015 12:44 PM - daniel871: That plays such a small part in the story though.
Jun 25, 2015 12:44 PM - daniel871: Especially since it means nothing once the SHTF scenario starts.
Jun 25, 2015 12:45 PM - Mike Kelly: i feel like i need to watch mad max first
Jun 25, 2015 12:45 PM - daniel871: I was going to say you'll miss out on the first protracted woman's death scene in any Jurassic Park movie.
Jun 25, 2015 12:45 PM - daniel871: But yeah Mad Max will probably make up for it.
Jun 25, 2015 12:47 PM - daniel871: Final fight of the film made me think of the Godzilla movie from last year pretty hard.
Jun 25, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: forgot they made another one of those
Jun 25, 2015 12:47 PM - daniel871: It was actually pretty good.
Jun 25, 2015 12:48 PM - daniel871: Far better than the one with Ferris Beuller in it.
Jun 25, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Kelly: that's not saying much
Jun 25, 2015 12:48 PM - daniel871: Did you see Pacific Rim?
Jun 25, 2015 12:48 PM - donhuevo: yep
Jun 25, 2015 12:48 PM - daniel871: Imagine that, but with Godzilla instead of giant robots.
Jun 25, 2015 12:49 PM - donhuevo: I saw Godzirra too
Jun 25, 2015 12:49 PM - daniel871: It's not often you see a monster movie that lets the US military be utterly useless fighting it.
Jun 25, 2015 12:50 PM - donhuevo: The Hulk
Jun 25, 2015 12:50 PM - donhuevo: War of the Worlds
Jun 25, 2015 12:51 PM - daniel871: Nah, Hulk slows down a little when he gets shot. Godzilla and the monsters just give whoever shoots them a contemptuous look before going about their business.
Jun 25, 2015 12:51 PM - daniel871: (if getting shot even gets their attention)
Jun 25, 2015 12:54 PM - jbigler1986: damn you single guys with no kids. you have so much time available
Jun 25, 2015 12:55 PM - daniel871: Yep. It's pretty sweet.
Jun 25, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: My only real tinker time is after like 10pm
Jun 25, 2015 12:59 PM - jbigler1986: then some nights i'm to damn tired to do anything. like last night
Jun 25, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Kelly: most nights i just struggle to come up with something i want to print
Jun 25, 2015 1:01 PM - daniel871: Right now I'm waiting on some Amazon deliveries and trying to decide what to print first.
Jun 25, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: at least you are printing
Jun 25, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: MK got a pic of your bowden tube?
Jun 25, 2015 1:02 PM - daniel871: Power was out from like 6:45 at the house last night so I didn't get to even try to print anything.
Jun 25, 2015 1:03 PM - jbigler1986: from extruder into the case
Jun 25, 2015 1:03 PM - daniel871: (not even ten minutes after I got home from work)
Jun 25, 2015 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah one sec, but i wouldn't recommend doing it like this
Jun 25, 2015 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly: you don't want a sharp bend on the ptfe like i have
Jun 25, 2015 1:11 PM - Mike Kelly:
Jun 25, 2015 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: yeah i have a nice arc. i was just curious
Jun 25, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: i really think it is the drive gear cutting into the filament creating friction
Jun 25, 2015 1:30 PM - daniel871: Shame something like this couldn't work. http://www.mcmaster.com/#60885k44/=xs4xxg
Jun 25, 2015 1:31 PM - daniel871: A polyurethane wheel that basically runs right against the idler bearing and uses the pressure to drive the filament through without marring it.
Jun 25, 2015 1:32 PM - daniel871: Would probably slip at high speeds though.
Jun 25, 2015 1:32 PM - daniel871: Or would need replacement more often as a groove wore into it from filament passage.
Jun 25, 2015 1:35 PM - jbigler1986: Me and SC have been looking at MIG welder rollers
Jun 25, 2015 1:35 PM - daniel871: With V-grooves with teeth in them, yeah.
Jun 25, 2015 1:35 PM - jbigler1986: stuff like this
Jun 25, 2015 1:35 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 25, 2015 1:36 PM - daniel871: I was mainly thinking of something that would yield a little and still function if you had excessive pressures being put on it.
Jun 25, 2015 1:36 PM - daniel871: Without damaging the filament.
Jun 25, 2015 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: if the teeth are fine enough it will be fine
Jun 25, 2015 1:37 PM - daniel871: Hell, try one of each while you're experimenting.
Jun 25, 2015 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: they are my next step
Jun 25, 2015 1:38 PM - jbigler1986: pretty sure new drive gear will do it
Jun 25, 2015 1:48 PM - Bill Monroe: my subractive manufacturing project for the day:
Jun 25, 2015 1:49 PM - jbigler1986: pretty
Jun 25, 2015 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: i dare you to mill a 3d printer frame in one go
Jun 25, 2015 1:53 PM - daniel871: What, like Eustathios framework out of a sheet of aluminum stock?
Jun 25, 2015 1:54 PM - daniel871: Actually wouldn't be too hard to do if I wanted to buy the sheet and the time on one of the bigger CNC machines at work.
Jun 25, 2015 1:54 PM - daniel871: (or just come in on a Sunday when nobody is working and do it myself)
Jun 25, 2015 1:55 PM - daniel871: Nice, big vacuum table. Mm...
Jun 25, 2015 1:56 PM - donhuevo: is a vacuum table like air hockey in reverse?
Jun 25, 2015 1:58 PM - daniel871: They have one of these at work:
Jun 25, 2015 1:58 PM - daniel871: Except the one they have is the 100" wide x 420" long work table instead of that one.
Jun 25, 2015 1:59 PM - daniel871: Anderson Stratos Pro, if that matters.
Jun 25, 2015 2:00 PM - daniel871: and yeah, vacuum table is like air hockey, but reversed.
Jun 25, 2015 2:00 PM - daniel871: You can reverse the air flow so that you can move material around as if it were an air hockey table, as well.
Jun 25, 2015 2:04 PM - donhuevo: two questions... can it be used for sex and would it make said sex better?
Jun 25, 2015 2:05 PM - Mike Kelly: is that a waterjet
Jun 25, 2015 2:06 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm no maybe a laser cutter
Jun 25, 2015 2:06 PM - donhuevo: ya, it does look a lot like the machine they used to try and kill James Bond that one time
Jun 25, 2015 2:06 PM - Mike Kelly: actually could just be a cnc mill now that i look more closely
Jun 25, 2015 2:12 PM - donhuevo:
Jun 25, 2015 2:14 PM - daniel871: Just a cnc mill with a saw attachment.
Jun 25, 2015 2:14 PM - donhuevo: so no laser then
Jun 25, 2015 2:14 PM - daniel871: Nope.
Jun 25, 2015 2:15 PM - daniel871: The saw could ruin your whole day though.
Jun 25, 2015 2:29 PM - Stephen Capistron: no laser ........ booooooooooo
Jun 25, 2015 2:32 PM - donhuevo: and the waterjet would have to have a pulsate setting for the ladies
Jun 25, 2015 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: Gregs pushed it all the way through the hotend. So step one is good. Need to calibrate extruder and run a tedt print as soon as i get back from dinner
Jun 25, 2015 2:41 PM - jbigler1986: Kinda liking gregs wade so i can manually extrude or retract filament
Jun 25, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: having that gear to spin is pretty convenient
Jun 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: i need that for my bondtechs
Jun 25, 2015 2:49 PM - jbigler1986: That it is
Jun 25, 2015 2:50 PM - jbigler1986: Spun it pretty fast for half of the way. Didnt skip a beat. We will see soon
Jun 25, 2015 4:02 PM - Stephen Capistron: For the bondtechs it could be a slip fit knob you put over the front to manually turn either shaft. Then you can put the knob away when it is not needed.
Jun 25, 2015 4:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: What to print?
Jun 25, 2015 4:16 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:807591 that
Jun 25, 2015 4:26 PM - Stephen Capistron: Then I feel compelled to buy the stuff to put in it
Jun 25, 2015 4:26 PM - Stephen Capistron: And I still haven't bought a pi to mess around with octoprint
Jun 25, 2015 4:27 PM - Mike Glass: what does it mean when a stepper wont move, but once you place a finger next to the driver it starts to move?
Jun 25, 2015 4:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: next to the driver or on it?
Jun 25, 2015 4:28 PM - Stephen Capistron: Either way my vote is a lose component on the board or a bad connection of some sort
Jun 25, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Glass: just next to it, or next to the control wire goint to the arduino
Jun 25, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Glass: maybe a bad ground
Jun 25, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Glass: or just a bad driver
Jun 25, 2015 4:31 PM - Stephen Capistron: bad ground on the driver?

 

Jun 25, 2015 4:31 PM - Stephen Capistron: I know what to print. The parts to the MPCNC
Jun 25, 2015 4:32 PM - Shank: if you are looking for stuff to print look at inmoov
Jun 25, 2015 4:32 PM - Mike Glass: That is a few weeks of printing
Jun 25, 2015 4:34 PM - Mike Glass: replaced driver works like a charm.
Jun 25, 2015 4:35 PM - Stephen Capistron: Good. Since I got simplify I've been struggling with getting the retract, coast, and wipe settings where I am happy
Jun 25, 2015 4:35 PM - Shank: i want to print one
Jun 25, 2015 4:36 PM - Printed Solid: I'd turn off the coast and wipe.
Jun 25, 2015 4:37 PM - Stephen Capistron: OK
Jun 25, 2015 4:38 PM - Stephen Capistron: I'll give that a shot next
Jun 25, 2015 4:42 PM - Printed Solid: I've been hearing a lot of the default setting on the V3 profiles are not so good either. So, some tweaking is to be expected.
Jun 25, 2015 4:42 PM - Stephen Capistron: Good to know
Jun 25, 2015 4:44 PM - Stephen Capistron: I was using craftware to slice prior to simplify and it worked pretty well.
Jun 25, 2015 4:44 PM - Stephen Capistron: The support was no where near as good though
Jun 25, 2015 4:45 PM - Stephen Capistron: One thing I liked is that if you selected an input box it would give a definition and at times an animation of what each did
Jun 25, 2015 4:49 PM - Printed Solid: oh, that is cool.
Jun 25, 2015 4:50 PM - Printed Solid: I feel like the new S3D makes huge strides, but I imagine there will still be things that I hit up other slicers for on occasion.
Jun 25, 2015 5:45 PM - jbigler1986: Craftware isnt bad
Jun 25, 2015 5:49 PM - daniel871: Fingers crossed. New 40w heater in volcano test printing. Not sure what the deal was with old heater but this one is working.
Jun 25, 2015 5:54 PM - daniel871: Skirt looks awesome. Now for the main part.
Jun 25, 2015 5:56 PM - daniel871: Yay, I'm back in business.
Jun 25, 2015 6:15 PM - jbigler1986: NICE
Jun 25, 2015 6:19 PM - jbigler1986: Calibrating extruder now
Jun 25, 2015 6:20 PM - donhuevo: congrats!
Jun 25, 2015 6:28 PM - Mike Glass: what revision is this JB?
Jun 25, 2015 6:28 PM - jbigler1986: 60
Jun 25, 2015 6:29 PM - jbigler1986: actually 59.7
Jun 25, 2015 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: lcd is being weird
Jun 25, 2015 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: not ready sd card. says there is one inserted
Jun 25, 2015 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: reading*
Jun 25, 2015 6:33 PM - jbigler1986: gonna test a new card. if that doesn't work then new lcd it is. slut
Jun 25, 2015 6:42 PM - jbigler1986: Any other cool lcds that work with marlin?
Jun 25, 2015 6:52 PM - Stephen Capistron: It is not looking noticeably better. I'll try upping the retraction rate to just shy of step skipping.
Jun 25, 2015 6:54 PM - jbigler1986: Part is looking great right now
Jun 25, 2015 7:07 PM - jbigler1986: http://i.imgur.com/wJaqNrRh.jpg
Jun 25, 2015 7:07 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 25, 2015 7:08 PM - jbigler1986: Sorry for the crappy pic
Jun 25, 2015 7:09 PM - Mike Kelly: that's a thing
Jun 25, 2015 7:11 PM - jbigler1986:
Jun 25, 2015 7:11 PM - jbigler1986: A little better
Jun 25, 2015 8:16 PM - Mike Kelly: how do you like that carriage design

 

Jun 26, 2015 2:53 AM - jbigler1986: I like it. I think ot could be modified to remove some of the material
Jun 26, 2015 2:54 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jun 26, 2015 3:24 AM - Shank: Morning
Jun 26, 2015 3:30 AM - jbigler1986: Happy fn Friday
Jun 26, 2015 3:36 AM - Shank: this week was way to long
Jun 26, 2015 3:36 AM - jbigler1986: It was quick for me
Jun 26, 2015 3:39 AM - Shank: lucky you.... how the printer
Jun 26, 2015 3:48 AM - jbigler1986: http://m.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jun 26, 2015 3:52 AM - Shank: at work ustream is blocked
Jun 26, 2015 3:53 AM - jbigler1986: Booooo
Jun 26, 2015 3:53 AM - jbigler1986: Its going great though
Jun 26, 2015 3:53 AM - Shank: Thats good what are you printing?
Jun 26, 2015 4:22 AM - jbigler1986: Had to stop it. Was leaking. Need to reassemble the hotend.
Jun 26, 2015 4:24 AM - Shank: that sucks how long has it been printing?
Jun 26, 2015 4:24 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2015/0625/Mars-pyramid-Alien-structure-or-everyday-pareidolia-video
Jun 26, 2015 4:27 AM - jbigler1986: Only like 40 minutes
Jun 26, 2015 4:27 AM - Shank: thats not bad still sucks
Jun 26, 2015 4:28 AM - jbigler1986: Oh well. At least the bowden works
Jun 26, 2015 4:29 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Jun 26, 2015 4:29 AM - Shank: thats good
Jun 26, 2015 4:29 AM - Shank: morning
Jun 26, 2015 4:29 AM - Shank: what would cause a small zig zag in layering.....its not leaving a smooth finish on the sides of my parts
Jun 26, 2015 4:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: Does the zig zag match the threaded rods on the z axis?
Jun 26, 2015 4:33 AM - Shank: what do you mean?
Jun 26, 2015 4:34 AM - Stephen Capistron: kind of like this
Jun 26, 2015 4:34 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 26, 2015 4:34 AM - jbigler1986: ?
Jun 26, 2015 4:35 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 26, 2015 4:35 AM - jbigler1986: Lol
Jun 26, 2015 4:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think the image url is to long
Jun 26, 2015 4:35 AM - Stephen Capistron:
Jun 26, 2015 4:36 AM - Shank: blank??
Jun 26, 2015 4:38 AM - jbigler1986: I see it
Jun 26, 2015 4:40 AM - Shank: stupid work computer...i'll use my phone
Jun 26, 2015 4:40 AM - Shank: yes and no...the steps are more noticable...i should have taken a picture
Jun 26, 2015 4:42 AM - Stephen Capistron: That could be over extrusion
Jun 26, 2015 4:43 AM - Shank: weird i have never changed my extrusion rate
Jun 26, 2015 4:45 AM - Stephen Capistron: For the longest time with my printer I was running at 80% extrusion. I did Tom's extruder calibration and prints would look like garbage. So I did a test tower changing the extrusion amount every 15-20 layers until I thought it looked good. Turned out 80% of the calculated extrusion amount was what it was for me.
Jun 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Shank: alright i will try that tonight
Jun 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Shank: thanks
Jun 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Stephen Capistron: Familiar with Cura?
Jun 26, 2015 4:46 AM - Shank: thats what i use
Jun 26, 2015 4:48 AM - Stephen Capistron: Make a simple tall rectangle and use the "change at z" plugin
Jun 26, 2015 4:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: I'd probably start at 110 or 105% extrusion and step down in 10% increments to 70%. So maybe every 10-20mm change the extrusion amount.
Jun 26, 2015 4:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: Or 5% increments
Jun 26, 2015 4:50 AM - Shank: alright i will try that tonight then]
Jun 26, 2015 4:50 AM - Stephen Capistron: Another tell tale sign that you are over extruding is if everything is coming out slightly big in the X and Y
Jun 26, 2015 4:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: If that doesn't work you should read through this thread if you have not already.
Jun 26, 2015 4:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/z-axis-artifacts-known-issues-and-fixes.2576/
Jun 26, 2015 4:51 AM - Shank: X and Y was about .005 inch off
Jun 26, 2015 4:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: big or small?
Jun 26, 2015 4:51 AM - Stephen Capistron: and who uses inches?
Jun 26, 2015 4:52 AM - Shank: big
Jun 26, 2015 4:52 AM - Bill Monroe: genuine Americans use inches
Jun 26, 2015 4:52 AM - Stephen Capistron: Read through the Ziggy thread and I would also get in on this ... http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/lead-screws-upgrade.5607/page-2#post-50514
Jun 26, 2015 4:53 AM - Bill Monroe: the ziggy thread only applies to vintage R1s.. it's all but obsolete now
Jun 26, 2015 4:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: Most people still have the suspect screws and couplers that can be all sorts of trouble
Jun 26, 2015 4:54 AM - Bill Monroe: yes, but the fixes cant be acomplished with the dual-flat motors
Jun 26, 2015 4:55 AM - Bill Monroe: that dont have the dimple in the end of the shaft
Jun 26, 2015 4:57 AM - Bill Monroe: really, jb's fix applies to all of the R1 flavors, and many non robo printers.. it should be the goto mod
Jun 26, 2015 4:57 AM - jbigler1986: none of ziggy's stuff fixed my problem
Jun 26, 2015 4:57 AM - Bill Monroe: same here
Jun 26, 2015 4:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: That is why i threw the lead screw thread up there
Jun 26, 2015 4:58 AM - Bill Monroe: jb for president in 2016
Jun 26, 2015 4:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: Worst case following ziggy's thread is that you learn stuff and still have wobbly prints
Jun 26, 2015 4:59 AM - Shank: im running the lead screws that jb posted a thread
Jun 26, 2015 4:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: oh, didn't realize you went that route
Jun 26, 2015 5:00 AM - Shank: yep no coupler problems now
Jun 26, 2015 5:00 AM - Stephen Capistron: Then you totally are over extruding
Jun 26, 2015 5:00 AM - Bill Monroe: 3 guys where I work got robos a couple of weeks ago.. we had an afterwork upgrade session to add LCDs V6s and JB screws. all worked perfectly after that
Jun 26, 2015 5:01 AM - Shank: alright i will fix that problem tonight then...good thing im getting off early
Jun 26, 2015 5:02 AM - Bill Monroe: i think a couple more are hot to have one now
Jun 26, 2015 5:03 AM - Shank: only one of my friends has a robo and he hasnt turned it on in the last month or two
Jun 26, 2015 5:03 AM - Shank: i think i should save it and buy it from him
Jun 26, 2015 5:04 AM - Bill Monroe: <rant mode OFF>
Jun 26, 2015 5:05 AM - jbigler1986: on that note bowden is working good
Jun 26, 2015 5:05 AM - Shank: what fixed it?
Jun 26, 2015 5:07 AM - jbigler1986: almost positive it was the drive gear cutting into the filament causing friction. over the length of the bowden it just becomes to much
Jun 26, 2015 5:08 AM - JeffTheMess: happy Friday, good morning
Jun 26, 2015 5:08 AM - Bill Monroe: yup. that'
Jun 26, 2015 5:08 AM - Bill Monroe: that's a common bowden issue
Jun 26, 2015 5:08 AM - Bill Monroe: hi Jeff
Jun 26, 2015 5:08 AM - Shank: morning
Jun 26, 2015 5:09 AM - jbigler1986: morning Jeff. Now my hotend is leaking. Which is an easy fix thankfully
Jun 26, 2015 5:10 AM - Shank: ya thats like a 2 minute fix
Jun 26, 2015 5:11 AM - Shank: Stephen: BTW the filament changer code works i just want to make some tweaks to it first
Jun 26, 2015 5:11 AM - jbigler1986: faster than that. just gonna throw on my other one
Jun 26, 2015 5:11 AM - JeffTheMess: what are the plans for the weekend fellas?
Jun 26, 2015 5:12 AM - Bill Monroe: getting my guest room squared away for my son's return from Korea
Jun 26, 2015 5:12 AM - Stephen Capistron: that is awesome
Jun 26, 2015 5:12 AM - jbigler1986: party tomorrow morning for my parents then probably looking at bars for our basement. nothing crazy. you?
Jun 26, 2015 5:12 AM - JeffTheMess: you must be excited bill, when is he coming
Jun 26, 2015 5:12 AM - jbigler1986: how much longer Bill?
Jun 26, 2015 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe: 1 week!
Jun 26, 2015 5:13 AM - JeffTheMess: try to take over the world same old same old
Jun 26, 2015 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe: his fiance' is moving in Wednesday
Jun 26, 2015 5:14 AM - jbigler1986: did you guys see that apple is removing games that have confederate flag in them?
Jun 26, 2015 5:14 AM - jbigler1986: that's just ridiculous
Jun 26, 2015 5:15 AM - JeffTheMess: Apple: "hey everyone, we are important too, look at me!"
Jun 26, 2015 5:15 AM - jbigler1986: civil war wasn't a huge part of this country or anything

 

Jun 26, 2015 5:16 AM - jbigler1986: jackasses
Jun 26, 2015 5:17 AM - jbigler1986: god i hate apple
Jun 26, 2015 5:18 AM - jbigler1986: i kinda applaud Mr. Trump for his words recently
Jun 26, 2015 5:23 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning everyone, what is today's topic of conversation?
Jun 26, 2015 5:23 AM - JeffTheMess:
Jun 26, 2015 5:28 AM - WheresWaldo: Nothing of real interest in that video. Companies use foreign entities all the time to avoid paying US Corp taxes. All the rest is pretty much public knowledge.
Jun 26, 2015 5:29 AM - Bill Monroe: yup
Jun 26, 2015 5:29 AM - donhuevo: jb, did you run your GfnW direct or with the bowden tube?
Jun 26, 2015 5:30 AM - jbigler1986: bowden
Jun 26, 2015 5:30 AM - donhuevo: pretty good differential diagnosis then. Not the bowden tube and not the hot end either
Jun 26, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: correct
Jun 26, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: drive gear, drive gear
Jun 26, 2015 5:32 AM - donhuevo: I'm feeling that the mk7 will be the answer
Jun 26, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: it's upside down mounted where my other extruder was
Jun 26, 2015 5:32 AM - Stephen Capistron: and for only $4
Jun 26, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: yeah pretty sure that will do it too
Jun 26, 2015 5:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: These might be better than the darwin awards > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize
Jun 26, 2015 5:36 AM - Stephen Capistron: Winner for medicine in 1991 > Medicine – Alan Kligerman, deviser of digestive deliverance, vanquisher of vapor, and inventor of Beano, for his pioneering work with anti-gas liquids that prevent bloat, gassiness, discomfort and embarrassment.
Jun 26, 2015 5:46 AM - Shank: can someone answer a firmware lcd question for me please
Jun 26, 2015 5:47 AM - jbigler1986: maybe
Jun 26, 2015 5:47 AM - donhuevo: which LCD?

Jun 26, 2015 5:48 AM - jbigler1986: not running right now due to the ooze but you can see it's bowden and does work
Jun 26, 2015 5:48 AM - Shank: full graphics
Jun 26, 2015 5:48 AM - donhuevo: what's your question?
Jun 26, 2015 5:49 AM - Shank: in ULTRA LCD IMPLEMENTATION file
Jun 26, 2015 5:50 AM - Shank: lines 348-378 it shows the possible status screens why do non of those screens look like what we get
Jun 26, 2015 5:51 AM - donhuevo: just a guess but I don't think the ultra lcd and the full graphics are the same
Jun 26, 2015 5:52 AM - Shank: so then where does the full graphics pull the status screen code from?
Jun 26, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: message ziggy. he is the lcd/firmware man
Jun 26, 2015 5:54 AM - Stephen Capistron: it is all a magically mystery to me. I'd be lucky if I could write code for "hello world"
Jun 26, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: save a copy of your firmware then just go edditing stuff and see if you find it
Jun 26, 2015 5:55 AM - Shank: yep i have a copy named "do not mod
Jun 26, 2015 5:55 AM - donhuevo: maybe dogm_lcd_implementation.h
Jun 26, 2015 5:55 AM - jbigler1986: then just start changing stuff and see what happens. Not gonna hurt anything

Featherstone was the first Ig Nobel Prize winner to appear in person at the awards ceremony to accept the award.[24]
Jun 26, 2015 5:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: I would have thought that those are older
Jun 26, 2015 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. Gotta love the pink flamingo
Jun 26, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: my neighbor used to have a bunch of them
Jun 26, 2015 5:57 AM - Stephen Capistron: there are some pretty fantastic winners
Jun 26, 2015 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: we'd rearrange them at night
Jun 26, 2015 5:58 AM - donhuevo: Featherstone being the grandson of the inventor sounds more like it
Jun 26, 2015 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: glue on sunglasses
Jun 26, 2015 5:58 AM - Stephen Capistron: I recommend going through the list when you are bored to tears like I am now
Jun 26, 2015 5:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: He created them in 57, awarded in 96
Jun 26, 2015 5:59 AM - Stephen Capistron: that makes more sense
Jun 26, 2015 6:02 AM - donhuevo:
Jun 26, 2015 6:02 AM - Stephen Capistron: I post this for JB, he will be proud. 1996 Chemistry – Presented to George Goble of Purdue University, for his blistering world record time for igniting a barbecue grill: three seconds, using charcoal and liquid oxygen.[26]

Jun 26, 2015 6:06 AM - Stephen Capistron: coincidence or paranormal activity?
Jun 26, 2015 6:06 AM - jbigler1986: think that would work with the robo? or need lots changes?
Jun 26, 2015 6:08 AM - jbigler1986: or would it be easier too add code in the current firmware for the viki lcd
Jun 26, 2015 6:09 AM - donhuevo: if your robo decides to take its poop and fingerpaint the walls, you can always put your original firmware back in
Jun 26, 2015 6:09 AM - Stephen Capistron: its not like flashing firmware is irreversible
Jun 26, 2015 6:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: The memory on the board is probably good for like 4 million or more read/write cycles
Jun 26, 2015 6:11 AM - jbigler1986: nope. can't be done
Jun 26, 2015 6:11 AM - jbigler1986: relfashing? i don't understand
Jun 26, 2015 6:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: 10 million is pretty standard, but i'm willing to bet these boards have an extra crappy version
Jun 26, 2015 6:11 AM - Stephen Capistron: yes, reflashing = read/write
Jun 26, 2015 6:12 AM - jbigler1986: i was kidding
Jun 26, 2015 6:12 AM - jbigler1986: i used to flash game console chips all of the time
Jun 26, 2015 6:16 AM - Bill Monroe: that explains a lot
Jun 26, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: explain?
Jun 26, 2015 6:17 AM - Bill Monroe: the police station phone calls about a pervert harrasing console chips
Jun 26, 2015 6:18 AM - jbigler1986: i'm lost
Jun 26, 2015 6:18 AM - Bill Monroe: dont worry son, there's help
Jun 26, 2015 6:19 AM - Bill Monroe: .... pervert... flashing....
Jun 26, 2015 6:19 AM - Stephen Capistron: Who would name their son this > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Seed

Jun 26, 2015 6:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: right
Jun 26, 2015 6:20 AM - Stephen Capistron: you can't make this stuff up
Jun 26, 2015 6:20 AM - jbigler1986: gotcha Bill. Was totally looking into that to much

Jun 26, 2015 8:26 AM - Stephen Capistron: i think JB just had a stroke looking at that price
Jun 26, 2015 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: it is a little horrifying
Jun 26, 2015 8:27 AM - Mike Glass: are you making medical implants with that?
Jun 26, 2015 8:28 AM - Stephen Capistron: You could theoretically
Jun 26, 2015 8:29 AM - Stephen Capistron: At that print temperature the stuff comes out depyrogenated
Jun 26, 2015 8:29 AM - daniel871: http://e3d-online.com/PEEK-1.75mm-Natural
Jun 26, 2015 8:29 AM - daniel871: Hahaha.
Jun 26, 2015 8:29 AM - Mike Glass: That's what it is saying that it is used for. 350-380c holy hell
Jun 26, 2015 8:29 AM - daniel871: "No advice will be given for this product, here there be dragons"
Jun 26, 2015 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: heh
Jun 26, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: you're probably mad if you think you're going to print this.
Jun 26, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Glass: what bed temps does it recommend, I didnt see any.
Jun 26, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Kelly: no advice given
Jun 26, 2015 8:30 AM - Stephen Capistron: My guess is the hotter the better
Jun 26, 2015 8:31 AM - Stephen Capistron: And a heated build chamber
Jun 26, 2015 8:31 AM - Mike Kelly: probably like 200C
Jun 26, 2015 8:31 AM - donhuevo: most of the printer wiring would need replaced with high-temp insulation
Jun 26, 2015 8:32 AM - Stephen Capistron: Tg starts at 143 and has a midpoint of 150 for the first link I got off google anyways
Jun 26, 2015 8:32 AM - Stephen Capistron: so lets say a build chamber of about 130 or so
Jun 26, 2015 8:32 AM - Mike Glass: could you imaging the clogging you could get with that...
Jun 26, 2015 8:33 AM - Stephen Capistron: Boron Nitride heat block and nozzle all the way
Jun 26, 2015 8:34 AM - Mike Kelly: just print solder
Jun 26, 2015 8:35 AM - Stephen Capistron: Well that sounds less fun than PEEK
Jun 26, 2015 8:44 AM - donhuevo: I could print myself a new spine!
Jun 26, 2015 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: dooo itttt
Jun 26, 2015 8:45 AM - donhuevo: would need to find someone willing to install it though
Jun 26, 2015 8:45 AM - Mike Kelly: maybe in europe
Jun 26, 2015 8:45 AM - donhuevo: I'm all about getting some bionics
Jun 26, 2015 8:46 AM - Mike Kelly: let's call don Deux Ex
Jun 26, 2015 8:47 AM - donhuevo: get some 4G for my melon and actually make Google my third lobe
Jun 26, 2015 8:48 AM - Mike Kelly: that will totally be a thing eventually
Jun 26, 2015 8:48 AM - donhuevo: yep. totally
Jun 26, 2015 8:49 AM - Stephen Capistron: Brazil
Jun 26, 2015 8:49 AM - donhuevo: you have to be careful about getting surgery in Brazil. If they roll you into the wrong surgery, you're coming out with breasts
Jun 26, 2015 8:50 AM - Mike Kelly: i thought that was trinidad, co
Jun 26, 2015 8:50 AM - donhuevo: no, that's where they go to get their nethers switched
Jun 26, 2015 8:51 AM - Mike Kelly: oh right
Jun 26, 2015 9:00 AM - donhuevo: so Mike, you were still in your meeting when I proposed using the 4 z smooth rods of a core xy to pull double-duty and also be the axles for xy motors and pulley holders on the other side
Jun 26, 2015 9:03 AM - Mike Kelly: so you can contain the motors below?
Jun 26, 2015 9:03 AM - Mike Kelly: i like the idea
Jun 26, 2015 9:03 AM - donhuevo: or above but yeah
Jun 26, 2015 9:03 AM - donhuevo: lm8uu's would suck at allowing rotation so I figured Igus bushings instead
Jun 26, 2015 9:03 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah you don't use linear bearings for rotation
Jun 26, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: bushings are the way to go in that application
Jun 26, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: and the rotation actually helps prevent stiction
Jun 26, 2015 9:04 AM - donhuevo: since I'm so early in my design, I'm gonna aim for it
Jun 26, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Kelly: i approve
Jun 26, 2015 9:05 AM - daniel871: Hey MK, if I wanted to print off your modular X-carriage so I could use that hinged assembly for the v6, is that do-able or was that meant more for dual mounts for everything?
Jun 26, 2015 9:07 AM - daniel871: Mainly for the saddle assembly being a more rigid holder than two screws that may or may not force the hotend to be straight.
Jun 26, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: you could use my modular carriage for a single extruder
Jun 26, 2015 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: i was actually working with JB on a greg's wade body that used the same style of clamping the nozzle
