Jul 17, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Kelly: marlin really needs a "turn off heaters if inactive for X amount of time"
Jul 17, 2015 10:18 AM - donhuevo: maybe if we keep watching, we'll see something like this...
Jul 17, 2015 10:19 AM - Mike Kelly: "lemme just heat up so I can get it all ready and I'll go inside to save the file and start the print"
Jul 17, 2015 10:19 AM - Mike Kelly: 2 hours
Jul 17, 2015 10:19 AM - Mike Kelly: DAMMIT
Jul 17, 2015 10:19 AM - jbigler1986: i think its frozen stream or the hotend would be melting into the part
Jul 17, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Kelly: don if that happened to most everyone theyd have no idea what to even do to stop it
Jul 17, 2015 10:20 AM - jbigler1986: i have just mesmerized you all. lol
Jul 17, 2015 10:20 AM - Mike Kelly: you'd need to kill the breaker for that one since it'd be plugged in behind
Jul 17, 2015 10:21 AM - Mike Kelly: lol that was epic
Jul 17, 2015 10:21 AM - donhuevo: just make sure there aren't any 20lb pieces of steel in your pockets before starting a wash
Jul 17, 2015 10:21 AM - Mike Glass: is it clowdy there today JB?
Jul 17, 2015 10:22 AM - Mike Kelly: they also bypassed the controls for direct control over the motor
Jul 17, 2015 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: a little
Jul 17, 2015 10:26 AM - jbigler1986: havent seen the lighting change at all so i think frozen stream
Jul 17, 2015 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: i think 3D hubs is a little too pin point on their "find a printer" map
Jul 17, 2015 10:28 AM - Mike Kelly: eventually it'll be "find a printer to steal" map
Jul 17, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Jul 17, 2015 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: Google maps link of your house

Jul 17, 2015 10:42 AM - Mike Glass: do you have a jointer?
Jul 17, 2015 10:43 AM - Stephen Capistron: Another cheat is to cut it at a slight off angle such that the side you see is guaranteed to mate tight
Jul 17, 2015 10:44 AM - Stephen Capistron: Belt sander would work too
Jul 17, 2015 10:46 AM - jbigler1986: MK question
Jul 17, 2015 10:46 AM - jbigler1986: The fan extender. what is it used for
Jul 17, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: it gives you a parts fan control output
Jul 17, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: i also use it to turn on/off my heatsink fans when not heated
Jul 17, 2015 10:52 AM - jbigler1986: so its not needed
Jul 17, 2015 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: only if you want a parts fan that isn't always on
Jul 17, 2015 10:52 AM - jbigler1986: nope
Jul 17, 2015 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: nope not needed then
Jul 17, 2015 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: you can also make a circuit using a mosfet
Jul 17, 2015 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: probably like $2 if you go that route
Jul 17, 2015 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: alright i'm gonna be off and on for a while, heading to abq for a baby shower

Jul 17, 2015 11:17 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.3ders.org//articles/2015...ble-and-fully-hackable-bigbox-3d-printer.html
Jul 17, 2015 11:20 AM - donhuevo: not a big deal to switch to motherboard 34. it's like one line in firmware. unless you're just gonna be printing abs from here on out
Jul 17, 2015 11:21 AM - jbigler1986: what
Jul 17, 2015 11:22 AM - donhuevo: the fan extender
Jul 17, 2015 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: oh. yeah. only thing it would be nice for is to turn off the 2nd hotend fan when not in use
Jul 17, 2015 11:23 AM - donhuevo: http://www.amazon.com/Geeetech-Extender-DUAL-EXTRUSION-Printer-Reprap/dp/B00DVH44TM
Jul 17, 2015 11:24 AM - donhuevo: I don't know that you'd want to give up variable speed printing PLA
Jul 17, 2015 11:24 AM - jbigler1986: look at that autolevel
Jul 17, 2015 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: still using a arm switch though
Jul 17, 2015 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: damn
Jul 17, 2015 11:29 AM - donhuevo: I spent way too much time standing quarters up on their sides on bars
Jul 17, 2015 11:29 AM - jbigler1986: just over $1k for the dual version
Jul 17, 2015 11:29 AM - donhuevo: hurry up before they're out of stock
Jul 17, 2015 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: On this version the OctoPi comes as standard, making the 3D printing experience as easy as possible.
Jul 17, 2015 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: ha
Jul 17, 2015 11:30 AM - jbigler1986: the clear one looks awesome

Jul 17, 2015 11:32 AM - jbigler1986: I knew e3d would partner with someone eventually
Jul 17, 2015 11:36 AM - donhuevo: I need to work out a spot on my new carriage for a small servo to do the auto level
Jul 17, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: Friend just bought the folgertech Kossel, with the upgraded parts.

 

Jul 17, 2015 11:37 AM - donhuevo: can't wait to hear what he thinks of it
Jul 17, 2015 11:37 AM - donhuevo: that was $350?
Jul 17, 2015 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: yep.
Jul 17, 2015 11:38 AM - Mike Kelly: anyone else find it interesting their dual uses 2 v6's?
Jul 17, 2015 11:38 AM - donhuevo: makes the most sense
Jul 17, 2015 11:38 AM - donhuevo: they're tiny
Jul 17, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Kelly: still bigger volumetrically than a chimera
Jul 17, 2015 11:39 AM - donhuevo: can you still buy one of those DVD/VCR's?
Jul 17, 2015 11:41 AM - Mike Kelly: 4 corner bed rods
Jul 17, 2015 11:41 AM - Mike Kelly: *drools*
Jul 17, 2015 11:41 AM - donhuevo: that's the plan for my core xy
Jul 17, 2015 11:41 AM - toy: i dont see any linear acuators =)
Jul 17, 2015 11:42 AM - donhuevo: and I'm still thinking about having them rotate too
Jul 17, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: god that printer owns
Jul 17, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Kelly: who wants to buy some robo 3d's?

Jul 17, 2015 11:45 AM - donhuevo: mg, you still here?
Jul 17, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Kelly: sanjay says they haven't finalized the dual design yet so it might be some wider version of chimera
Jul 17, 2015 11:46 AM - Mike Glass: yea don
Jul 17, 2015 11:47 AM - donhuevo: that version of the carriage I gave you... already decided I have to thicken up the wall where the belt clamps
Jul 17, 2015 11:47 AM - donhuevo: 4mm isn't enough
Jul 17, 2015 11:48 AM - Mike Glass: on those wings on the side?
Jul 17, 2015 11:48 AM - donhuevo: yep.
Jul 17, 2015 11:48 AM - donhuevo:

Jul 17, 2015 11:50 AM - Mike Glass: I hate waiting..lol
Jul 17, 2015 11:53 AM - donhuevo: China again
Jul 17, 2015 11:54 AM - Mike Glass: Do you have a ids system don?
Jul 17, 2015 11:54 AM - donhuevo: I don't think so
Jul 17, 2015 11:55 AM - Mike Glass: maybe an IPS?
Jul 17, 2015 11:55 AM - donhuevo: I know I don't have IBS
Jul 17, 2015 11:56 AM - Mike Glass: but you do have d.i.c.t.s
Jul 17, 2015 11:56 AM - donhuevo: that I do
Jul 17, 2015 11:56 AM - donhuevo: they're trying to get into my SSH server
Jul 17, 2015 11:57 AM - donhuevo: they never will but I get a pop up when there's any activity
Jul 17, 2015 11:59 AM - Mike Glass: why do you have an ssh server on the outside to the world?
Jul 17, 2015 12:01 PM - donhuevo: it's what I use for VNC and file transfer
Jul 17, 2015 12:04 PM - jbigler1986: damnit i want that printer
Jul 17, 2015 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: so going to buy it when it's available
Jul 17, 2015 12:14 PM - Mike Glass: So if someone did break in then they have full access to your network?
Jul 17, 2015 12:14 PM - Mike Glass: or is it in a dmz
Jul 17, 2015 12:16 PM - Mike Glass: wish I had $3800 to spend
Jul 17, 2015 12:16 PM - jbigler1986: first thing they will see is his waitress women. then they will immediately leave
Jul 17, 2015 12:16 PM - jbigler1986: $3800 for what?
Jul 17, 2015 12:16 PM - Mike Glass: 3 printers
Jul 17, 2015 12:17 PM - jbigler1986: holy shit. they are halfway to the goal already
Jul 17, 2015 12:17 PM - jbigler1986: i checked like an hour ago and it wasn't even live yet

Jul 17, 2015 12:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: The Big Box Pro Kit is $867
Jul 17, 2015 12:24 PM - Mike Glass: what one did you order
Jul 17, 2015 12:25 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Heh...My wife would kick my ass
Jul 17, 2015 12:25 PM - donhuevo: it's not in a dmz. but they aren't getting in
Jul 17, 2015 12:25 PM - jbigler1986: i hate the unknown on shipping. i will wait
Jul 17, 2015 12:26 PM - Mike Glass: I think it might be worth an ass kicking..lol
Jul 17, 2015 12:27 PM - Mike Glass: come jb, do it
Jul 17, 2015 12:28 PM - Mike Glass: 4 month wait, do it, do it.
Jul 17, 2015 12:29 PM - jbigler1986: lol. nope
Jul 17, 2015 12:30 PM - Mike Glass: come on, I dont want to be alone.
Jul 17, 2015 12:31 PM - Mike Glass: Ok Aaron, its up to you.

Jul 17, 2015 12:39 PM - donhuevo: sorry, I was calling the HfnC's evil, not wives
Jul 17, 2015 12:40 PM - jbigler1986: may not be as much of an issue with all of the support it has
Jul 17, 2015 12:40 PM - Mike Glass: now that I have lead screws , the bap is getting closer to a beta stage.
Jul 17, 2015 12:41 PM - jbigler1986: lmfao http://www.3ders.org//articles/2015...-multiple-types-of-3d-printing-filaments.html
Jul 17, 2015 12:42 PM - Mike Glass: looks like a hair straightner modified..lol
Jul 17, 2015 12:43 PM - toy: hmm i still need some idea for the perfect level bed...
Jul 17, 2015 12:44 PM - donhuevo: certified perfect
Jul 17, 2015 12:44 PM - toy: under .001"
Jul 17, 2015 12:44 PM - toy: or about their
Jul 17, 2015 12:44 PM - jbigler1986: i thought yours was perfectly level
Jul 17, 2015 12:44 PM - toy: i used some 3d printed parts that just werent up to spec
Jul 17, 2015 12:45 PM - toy: so im replacing everything with metal
Jul 17, 2015 12:45 PM - toy: and my acrylic bed was bowed pretty bad
Jul 17, 2015 12:45 PM - toy: i planned on replacing it.. just used it temp
Jul 17, 2015 12:46 PM - toy: http://imgur.com/56NeVwn
Jul 17, 2015 12:47 PM - toy: i put a piece of titanium for a bed... just a mock up
Jul 17, 2015 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: so your swapping out your Y?
Jul 17, 2015 12:49 PM - toy: yes... its already gone
Jul 17, 2015 12:49 PM - toy: to be replaced with the acuator
Jul 17, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: is that acuator fast enough?
Jul 17, 2015 12:49 PM - toy: but im not sure what combo of heater/bed to go with
Jul 17, 2015 12:49 PM - toy: oh yea
Jul 17, 2015 12:49 PM - toy: 20mm pitch
Jul 17, 2015 12:50 PM - toy: my steppers can do about 7 revs in a sec if i remeber corrrectly
Jul 17, 2015 12:50 PM - toy: or about a top speed of 140mm

 

Jul 17, 2015 12:51 PM - Mike Glass: that will be interesting so see
Jul 17, 2015 12:51 PM - toy: im debating if i should go glass..... or print on some surface ground metal plate
Jul 17, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: granite?
Jul 17, 2015 12:52 PM - toy: im not sure where to order from....
Jul 17, 2015 12:52 PM - toy: i can move 20+ lbs around like its nothing with the ballscrew
Jul 17, 2015 12:53 PM - toy: so the weight of granite wouldnt be a problem
Jul 17, 2015 12:53 PM - Mike Glass: corning gorilla glass
Jul 17, 2015 12:54 PM - toy: is it better than the BOROSILICATE glass
Jul 17, 2015 12:54 PM - toy: i think someone mention boro-glass is +/- .2mm
Jul 17, 2015 12:55 PM - Mike Glass: I know it alot tougher then BG.
Jul 17, 2015 12:55 PM - jbigler1986: 140mm max. hmmm
Jul 17, 2015 12:55 PM - toy: dependning on the motor speed jb
Jul 17, 2015 12:56 PM - jbigler1986: i don't like y on the bed
Jul 17, 2015 12:56 PM - toy: for a small printer i dont think it will be bad at all
Jul 17, 2015 12:57 PM - toy: especially sense the bed is mounted to a high end actuator
Jul 17, 2015 12:57 PM - toy: and weight isnt that much of a concern with ballscrews
Jul 17, 2015 12:57 PM - jbigler1986: still. there is a reason high end printers dont do it
Jul 17, 2015 12:57 PM - toy: why's that?
Jul 17, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: bc quality and speed isn't as good
Jul 17, 2015 12:58 PM - toy: i get you dont want a huge bed going back and forth
Jul 17, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: if you want to print slow it's ok
Jul 17, 2015 12:59 PM - toy: 20lbs is not gonna slow the acuator down one bit
Jul 17, 2015 12:59 PM - toy: from testing i bet i could put a car battery on it, and still move it back and forth with little effort
Jul 17, 2015 1:01 PM - toy: how many high printers have ballscrews?
Jul 17, 2015 1:01 PM - jbigler1986: it's a lot of weight to speed up fast and slow down fast
Jul 17, 2015 1:01 PM - toy: weight is not as big of a concern when using ballscrews
Jul 17, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: fast start and fast stop is the issue
Jul 17, 2015 1:03 PM - toy: i think ballscrews are like 80-90 efficent compared to acme which around 20-40%
Jul 17, 2015 1:03 PM - jbigler1986: it's the actuator moving the y right?
Jul 17, 2015 1:04 PM - toy: yes
Jul 17, 2015 1:04 PM - jbigler1986: how fast can it stop and start?
Jul 17, 2015 1:04 PM - toy: not sure
Jul 17, 2015 1:05 PM - toy: but from my early testing.. it looks really promising
Jul 17, 2015 1:05 PM - jbigler1986: that's the issue. not really the weight it can move.
Jul 17, 2015 1:05 PM - toy: ...i have yet to attach a motor to it
Jul 17, 2015 1:05 PM - jbigler1986: may be just fine. i really have no idea
Jul 17, 2015 1:06 PM - Mike Glass: I have a hard time seeing any acceleration
Jul 17, 2015 1:07 PM - jbigler1986: that's what i'm saying
Jul 17, 2015 1:09 PM - Mike Glass: These look like something fun to build a cheap little cnc with. http://buildspark.com/products/linear-actuator-1meter
Jul 17, 2015 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: nema 11? booooo
Jul 17, 2015 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: does look nice though
Jul 17, 2015 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: pretty beefy nema 11
Jul 17, 2015 1:12 PM - Mike Glass: that was on the 39" model though
Jul 17, 2015 1:12 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Looks like my XXL LCD from Printed and the steppers with lead screw from Robo3D will all get here Monday
Jul 17, 2015 1:13 PM - Mike Glass: yep monday for me as well
Jul 17, 2015 1:13 PM - Stephen Capistron: The 11 is plenty powerful enough
Jul 17, 2015 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: nice
Jul 17, 2015 1:13 PM - Mike Glass: lent?
Jul 17, 2015 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: that one is
Jul 17, 2015 1:13 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I guess I will be on here Monday bugging Mike for help then
Jul 17, 2015 1:14 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That 39" actuator would let you build your own Big Box printer Mike
Jul 17, 2015 1:14 PM - Stephen Capistron: Between this being an iPad mini, me not proof reading, and apples autocorrect you get lent in july
Jul 17, 2015 1:14 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Hah...I hate the stoopid spelchek
Jul 17, 2015 1:15 PM - Stephen Capistron: The screws give a lot of mechanical advantage.
Jul 17, 2015 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: i like it most of the time
Jul 17, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: here is my Big box or BAP
Jul 17, 2015 1:15 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Is that a welded frame?
Jul 17, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Jul 17, 2015 1:16 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Hehe...you making a cnc?
Jul 17, 2015 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: until it doesn't correct dict to duct
Jul 17, 2015 1:16 PM - Mike Glass: no already did
Jul 17, 2015 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: coffee table wasn't it?
Jul 17, 2015 1:16 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That frame will never shake..
Jul 17, 2015 1:17 PM - Mike Glass: was a frame for i big screen tv
Jul 17, 2015 1:17 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I just got a 220v outlet put in my garage for my welder...
Jul 17, 2015 1:17 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I was going to say that it looks like a coffee table
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: Here is the cnc http://www.thingiverse.com/make:134212
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: tv stand, coffee table. close enough
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Flip it over and put a piece of glass on it
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: Nope put an extruder on it and call it a BAP
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - Aaron Mitchell: heh...
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - jbigler1986: if it were that easy
Jul 17, 2015 1:18 PM - Mike Glass: I even go metal legs for it now
Jul 17, 2015 1:19 PM - Stephen Capistron: Now we are talking. New kick starter idea ... A coffee table that doubles as a 3d printer
Jul 17, 2015 1:19 PM - Aaron Mitchell: What does the CNC use for a cutting end?
Jul 17, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Glass: whatever you put on it
Jul 17, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: that's the printerbot play
Jul 17, 2015 1:19 PM - Stephen Capistron: Make it look nice, put a little money into making sure it is nice and quiet
Jul 17, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: you can stand on that damn thing and it doesn't budge
Jul 17, 2015 1:20 PM - Mike Glass: It had over 500lbs on it so I hope my buck fifty body wouldnt budge it
Jul 17, 2015 1:20 PM - Stephen Capistron: But it is too small, only enough room for one beer
Jul 17, 2015 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: that is true
Jul 17, 2015 1:21 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That's a nice interface, MG
Jul 17, 2015 1:22 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Is that cutting tool running on compressed air?
Jul 17, 2015 1:22 PM - Mike Glass: I need too upload my cutting of aluminium up
Jul 17, 2015 1:23 PM - Mike Glass: nope just a cheap chicago spindle
Jul 17, 2015 1:23 PM - Mike Glass: from Harbor Freight
Jul 17, 2015 1:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: What did the project cost - roundabouts? Been wanting to make one for my wood shop
Jul 17, 2015 1:24 PM - Mike Glass: The handpiece is a foredom that I replaced.
Jul 17, 2015 1:24 PM - Mike Glass: but dont like it very well.
Jul 17, 2015 1:25 PM - jbigler1986: $1 million
Jul 17, 2015 1:25 PM - Mike Glass: Well after printing all the parts and counting the filament cost and 4 endmill bits was under $450
Jul 17, 2015 1:25 PM - Mike Glass: did not include wood for the base though.
Jul 17, 2015 1:27 PM - Aaron Mitchell: cool...That's more affordable than JB's $1M
Jul 17, 2015 1:27 PM - Mike Glass: if you look at the comments I have a link to my BOM.
Jul 17, 2015 1:28 PM - Mike Glass: you could probably do it for under $400, I just ordered extra parts and didnt know exactly what I needed for lengths.
Jul 17, 2015 1:29 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Looking at the BOM now
Jul 17, 2015 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: so stream is totally off now. pretty sure it was frozen
Jul 17, 2015 1:44 PM - Mike Glass: hopefully, we dont want to see any art from you.
Jul 17, 2015 1:49 PM - jbigler1986: i doubt it. It was running smooth

 

Jul 17, 2015 1:49 PM - jbigler1986: did you see that it was on the side of the printer now?
Jul 17, 2015 1:49 PM - Mike Glass: your probably headed home soon.
Jul 17, 2015 1:50 PM - Mike Glass: yea didnt see how it was feeding the hotend
Jul 17, 2015 1:50 PM - jbigler1986: gotta pick up the kids and do some shopping. wife is out to dinner and bowling with like 6 women from her work.
Jul 17, 2015 1:51 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 17, 2015 1:51 PM - Mike Glass: too much weight she might tip over..lol Looks nice
Jul 17, 2015 1:52 PM - jbigler1986: yeah i think it looks good too. she will have the same on the other side to balance her out
Jul 17, 2015 1:52 PM - Mike Glass: I like that teal
Jul 17, 2015 1:52 PM - jbigler1986: i know. it looks really good
Jul 17, 2015 1:52 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Yeah...I was thinking that spool holder needed a kickstand on the far end
Jul 17, 2015 1:52 PM - Mike Glass: who's is it
Jul 17, 2015 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: justpla turquoise
Jul 17, 2015 1:53 PM - Aaron Mitchell: So that Bowden has a enough force to push that filament into the hot end without any binding?
Jul 17, 2015 1:53 PM - Mike Glass: hmm will have to order some, I really like
Jul 17, 2015 1:53 PM - jbigler1986: sure does. geared stepper
Jul 17, 2015 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: regular nema 17 stalls
Jul 17, 2015 1:54 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Wow..I guess the tubing helps prevent the filament from bending/binding as it is being forced into the extruder...
Jul 17, 2015 1:54 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Very cool setup JB
Jul 17, 2015 1:55 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Makes for a lighter carriage on the extruder...does it speed up your prints?
Jul 17, 2015 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: i have modified the crap out of this thing
Jul 17, 2015 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: i print at 110 now
Jul 17, 2015 1:55 PM - jbigler1986: have printed at 130 and it turned out pretty good
Jul 17, 2015 1:55 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That would be a very popular video on youtube...all I have to watch concerning Robo3D is Barnacules and Novice Expert :/
Jul 17, 2015 1:56 PM - jbigler1986: it would be a very poorly made video. lol
Jul 17, 2015 1:56 PM - Mike Glass: have your kid do it
Jul 17, 2015 1:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell: The information / not the presentation is what is important
Jul 17, 2015 1:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Heh...
Jul 17, 2015 1:57 PM - jbigler1986: be back soon.
Jul 17, 2015 1:57 PM - Aaron Mitchell: l8r
Jul 17, 2015 1:57 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Getting ready to print my newly designed spool holder...
Jul 17, 2015 1:59 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Gotta look for another project while that runs ...You guys have a source for the extra dict fan that I have seen on most of your extruders?
Jul 17, 2015 2:01 PM - Mike Glass: ?
Jul 17, 2015 2:01 PM - Mike Glass: the dual fans
Jul 17, 2015 2:04 PM - jbigler1986: I printed a new carriage to mount them
Jul 17, 2015 2:04 PM - Mike Glass: are you stock hex Aaron?
Jul 17, 2015 2:04 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Yeah...just wanted to know what size/where you got the fan?
Jul 17, 2015 2:05 PM - Aaron Mitchell: yes..stock...I may upgrade to a E3Dv6 later
Jul 17, 2015 2:05 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:720018
Jul 17, 2015 2:06 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OFL1J8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 fans I used.
Jul 17, 2015 2:06 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Sweet...thanks...
Jul 17, 2015 2:07 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Are the fans fairly quiet?
Jul 17, 2015 2:07 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJVKKKI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 these are nice as well to have to quick disconnect, same as stock ends.
Jul 17, 2015 2:08 PM - Mike Glass: I wouldn't know, I cant hear anything other than the exruder fan and the ps fan.
Jul 17, 2015 2:08 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I was just going to ask how long of a lead you need?
Jul 17, 2015 2:09 PM - Mike Glass: you can just tap into the existing one.
Jul 17, 2015 2:09 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Enough current to do that and keep the fan speeds up?
Jul 17, 2015 2:10 PM - Mike Glass: plenty
Jul 17, 2015 2:10 PM - jbigler1986: Psu fan is loud as hell
Jul 17, 2015 2:10 PM - Aaron Mitchell: k...cool...
Jul 17, 2015 2:10 PM - Aaron Mitchell: yeah...that may be a mod later...
Jul 17, 2015 2:10 PM - Mike Glass: I hate that PSU fan, its gonna come out soon
Jul 17, 2015 2:11 PM - Mike Glass: Hmm $69 for a v6 not a bad price
Jul 17, 2015 2:12 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Where?
Jul 17, 2015 2:12 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/E3D-v6-HotE...248?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4198893d80

Jul 17, 2015 2:20 PM - Mike Glass: just me

Jul 17, 2015 2:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I like #4 in their description...hehe
Jul 17, 2015 2:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I have a feeling they no speak engrish
Jul 17, 2015 2:27 PM - jbigler1986: E3dv6 was the best upgrade i have done. Leadscrews are a close 2nd
Jul 17, 2015 2:29 PM - Aaron Mitchell: We need to go to JB's house and help him make a Youtube video
Jul 17, 2015 2:33 PM - Mike Glass: I like this one better. http://folgertech.com/collections/3...-i3-clear-frame-full-3d-printer-kit-ramps-gt2
Jul 17, 2015 2:34 PM - Mike Glass: My friend in AL just ordered this one. http://folgertech.com/collections/3...s/folger-tech-kossel-2020-full-3d-printer-kit
Jul 17, 2015 2:35 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I was looking at Kossels before I settled on the Robo3D...the clear frame XYZ would be nice if you machined an aluminum frame to replace the clear acrylic
Jul 17, 2015 2:36 PM - jbigler1986: Come on over. Will glady let you guys help me
Jul 17, 2015 2:36 PM - Mike Glass: They have an upgrade kit that replaces the acrylic
Jul 17, 2015 2:37 PM - Mike Glass: the price is crazy though
Jul 17, 2015 2:37 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Heh...JB...I was trying to figure out how to do it on a Google+ session...we could throw questions about each others mods...I would be the MC, since I still don't know half this Sh!t
Jul 17, 2015 2:38 PM - Mike Glass: A google Hangout is what your referring too?
Jul 17, 2015 2:38 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I would make my own replacement, Mike...I've got my own mill and it would make a great project for my students
Jul 17, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Glass: For the money, I dont think you could buy the parts seperate.
Jul 17, 2015 2:40 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Yeah...looks like a great package...is Folgertech in US?
Jul 17, 2015 2:40 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
Jul 17, 2015 2:40 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Jul 17, 2015 2:40 PM - Aaron Mitchell: NVM...I see he is out of NH
Jul 17, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Glass: My friend that ordered the kit, is still 3 weeks out on the shipment, so the build to order a kit that you put together..lol
Jul 17, 2015 3:00 PM - jbigler1986: Finally on my way home
Jul 17, 2015 3:08 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Making dinner...will be back and forth for next hour or so
Jul 17, 2015 3:10 PM - jbigler1986: Friday traffic sucks
Jul 17, 2015 3:10 PM - Mike Glass: I hate friday traffic
Jul 17, 2015 3:11 PM - jbigler1986: People get paid and go blow their money
Jul 17, 2015 3:13 PM - jbigler1986: Baby got back on the radio. Its ur song don
Jul 17, 2015 3:13 PM - donhuevo: is it?
Jul 17, 2015 3:14 PM - jbigler1986: Its fitting
Jul 17, 2015 3:15 PM - donhuevo: is it?
Jul 17, 2015 3:15 PM - donhuevo: gonna say two words to you and leave it at that... Emily Skye
Jul 17, 2015 3:15 PM - jbigler1986: Anything i need to print for the carriage besides the carriage itself?
Jul 17, 2015 3:16 PM - donhuevo: my carriage?
Jul 17, 2015 3:16 PM - jbigler1986: The dual yeah
Jul 17, 2015 3:16 PM - jbigler1986: To much abs on her
Jul 17, 2015 3:16 PM - donhuevo: two tops and two clips as well
Jul 17, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: Link me por favor
Jul 17, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: Vida Guerra
Jul 17, 2015 3:17 PM - donhuevo: that's too much back
Jul 17, 2015 3:17 PM - jbigler1986: Thats perfect. Anymore and its to much
Jul 17, 2015 3:18 PM - donhuevo: I think my hooter's girl just broke up with me to be with you
Jul 17, 2015 3:18 PM - jbigler1986: Happy married. Lol

 

Jul 17, 2015 3:19 PM - donhuevo: well she's gonna be your side of beef on the side
Jul 17, 2015 3:19 PM - jbigler1986: Thats a whole cow
Jul 17, 2015 3:19 PM - donhuevo: good point
Jul 17, 2015 3:24 PM - Stephen Capistron: New Hampshire, I should visit
Jul 17, 2015 3:25 PM - jbigler1986: How long of a drive?
Jul 17, 2015 3:27 PM - Mike Glass: I thought Emily Skye was actually a man once.
Jul 17, 2015 3:33 PM - donhuevo: interesting
Jul 17, 2015 3:33 PM - Stephen Capistron: Less than an hour
Jul 17, 2015 3:55 PM - jbigler1986: Print failed due to my spool holder bolts being to long. Jut got some shorter ones
Jul 17, 2015 3:56 PM - jbigler1986: Bullet box hit them and triggered z switch
Jul 17, 2015 3:56 PM - donhuevo: that sucks
Jul 17, 2015 3:57 PM - jbigler1986: I was worried about that
Jul 17, 2015 3:57 PM - Stephen Capistron: Ha, blame bill for the shape being wrong
Jul 17, 2015 3:57 PM - daniel871: I was going to mount mine with outdoor permanent double-sided tape.
Jul 17, 2015 3:57 PM - jbigler1986: Shorter bolts will be fine. Plenty of room
Jul 17, 2015 4:01 PM - Mike Glass: Lucky it didnt break anything
Jul 17, 2015 4:02 PM - jbigler1986: The bullet box came off is all
Jul 17, 2015 4:04 PM - Mike Glass: Pennies flying everywhere
Jul 17, 2015 4:19 PM - jbigler1986: No. The bolts kinda held it in place
Jul 17, 2015 4:34 PM - jbigler1986: that's fixed
Jul 17, 2015 4:34 PM - jbigler1986: don you around
Jul 17, 2015 4:36 PM - donhuevo: I am
Jul 17, 2015 4:36 PM - donhuevo: grappling with whether or not to Domino's
Jul 17, 2015 4:37 PM - jbigler1986: care to pass me those files for those parts?
Jul 17, 2015 4:37 PM - donhuevo: they aren't ready yet
Jul 17, 2015 4:37 PM - donhuevo: still working out the threads
Jul 17, 2015 4:38 PM - jbigler1986: oh. ok. nevermind. i will print another extruder and spool holder
Jul 17, 2015 4:38 PM - jbigler1986: i misunderstood
Jul 17, 2015 4:39 PM - donhuevo: I thought maybe tonight, definitely tomorrow
Jul 17, 2015 4:39 PM - jbigler1986: whenever
Jul 17, 2015 4:39 PM - donhuevo: working on it now. I need them for my carriage too
Jul 17, 2015 4:51 PM - jbigler1986: anyone know how to mirror a stl?
Jul 17, 2015 4:53 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Simplify doesn't do that?
Jul 17, 2015 4:54 PM - jbigler1986: i got it
Jul 17, 2015 5:04 PM - jbigler1986: Print is starting
Jul 17, 2015 5:04 PM - jbigler1986: Extruder and spool holder
Jul 17, 2015 5:14 PM - jbigler1986: Anyone else printing?
Jul 17, 2015 5:16 PM - donhuevo: I'm still trying to get a good thread
Jul 17, 2015 5:17 PM - donhuevo: Cura prints the threads perfect but won't include my built-in support. Slic3r includes the suppport but the threads end up warping for some reason
Jul 17, 2015 5:17 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Yes, JB
Jul 17, 2015 5:18 PM - Aaron Mitchell: ...and modeling...
Jul 17, 2015 5:22 PM - jbigler1986: S3d wont print them without support?
Jul 17, 2015 5:22 PM - donhuevo: I actually have a version that guy with the eyepatch gave me. trying that now
Jul 17, 2015 5:22 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. I have 2.2
Jul 17, 2015 5:22 PM - jbigler1986: What were you using before?
Jul 17, 2015 5:23 PM - donhuevo: I have 2.1 tried Cura in Repetier and Slic3r in repetier
Jul 17, 2015 5:23 PM - donhuevo: the last time I had to print these tops, slic3r hadn't invented thin wall detection yet
Jul 17, 2015 5:29 PM - jbigler1986: I have faith
Jul 17, 2015 5:29 PM - jbigler1986: Finer threads maybe?
Jul 17, 2015 5:30 PM - donhuevo: they're 2mm pitch now. tough to go finer IMO
Jul 17, 2015 5:31 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm. It should do it
Jul 17, 2015 5:31 PM - donhuevo: so far this print is looking good. clean threads and support
Jul 17, 2015 5:32 PM - jbigler1986: Gta v is weird to play in first person view
Jul 17, 2015 5:48 PM - donhuevo: s3d did a nice job on the threads. like butta
Jul 17, 2015 5:48 PM - Seshan: how does the new auto level work on the r1s?
Jul 17, 2015 5:49 PM - donhuevo: is that what you have?
Jul 17, 2015 5:49 PM - Seshan: me? I have the kickstarter robo
Jul 17, 2015 5:50 PM - donhuevo: that's what I had too
Jul 17, 2015 5:50 PM - Seshan: i wanted to add the auto level to it
Jul 17, 2015 5:51 PM - donhuevo: two z switches clamped to longer nuts that are kept pressed in by the weight of the entire x assembly
Jul 17, 2015 5:51 PM - Seshan: looks like they just move the z switch to a spot where its always depressed then when the hot end touches the bed it releases
Jul 17, 2015 5:52 PM - Seshan: two switches? one on each side
Jul 17, 2015 5:52 PM - donhuevo: yep.
Jul 17, 2015 5:52 PM - donhuevo: one for each threaded rod
Jul 17, 2015 5:53 PM - donhuevo: along these lines... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:349935
Jul 17, 2015 5:55 PM - Seshan: seems simple enough
Jul 17, 2015 5:55 PM - Seshan: just printed someting for the first time in a long time the other day, now it got the 3d printing bug back into me
Jul 17, 2015 5:55 PM - donhuevo: you can either wire them in series and have both NC or wire them in parallel and have them both NO
Jul 17, 2015 5:55 PM - donhuevo: uh oh
Jul 17, 2015 5:56 PM - Seshan: trying to get all the modifaction i had planned for my printer done
Jul 17, 2015 5:57 PM - donhuevo: there's no end to modifying
Jul 17, 2015 5:57 PM - Seshan: ill have to dig around an see if i have any switches, I swear I ordered some before
Jul 17, 2015 5:59 PM - donhuevo: I know where there's one you can steal
Jul 17, 2015 5:59 PM - Seshan: oh?
Jul 17, 2015 5:59 PM - donhuevo: your existing z switch
Jul 17, 2015 6:00 PM - donhuevo: long day and I'm a dumbass sorry
Jul 17, 2015 6:00 PM - Seshan:
Jul 17, 2015 6:00 PM - jbigler1986: Lol
Jul 17, 2015 6:01 PM - donhuevo: I've had it jb. time to vegetate. I'll definitely have something for you tomorrow
Jul 17, 2015 6:10 PM - jbigler1986: Thats fine
Jul 17, 2015 6:20 PM - Bill Monroe: anyone seen my skate key?
Jul 17, 2015 6:25 PM - jbigler1986: Nope
Jul 17, 2015 6:27 PM - Seshan: ahaha, I forgot I had a drawer full of 3D printer parts
Jul 17, 2015 6:30 PM - Seshan: no switches tho ;/
Jul 17, 2015 6:31 PM - Seshan: found them
Jul 17, 2015 6:31 PM - Seshan: even have the coupling nuts already
Jul 17, 2015 8:27 PM - jim3Dbot: Seshan, read my thread.... I buzzed it all out......z questions answered

 

Jul 18, 2015 4:19 AM - jbigler1986: Morning everyone
Jul 18, 2015 4:34 AM - Aaron Mitchell: morning JB
Jul 18, 2015 5:09 AM - Bill Monroe: morning
Jul 18, 2015 5:10 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Morning, Bill...
Jul 18, 2015 5:11 AM - Bill Monroe: hi Aaron

Jul 18, 2015 5:19 AM - Bill Monroe: wow.. must be a DC close to you maybe
Jul 18, 2015 5:23 AM - Bill Monroe: Bezos makes Musk look like a hack
Jul 18, 2015 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: ran a part all night in Hatchbox Gold.. came out awesome.
Jul 18, 2015 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: first print in 2 weeks, just hit go and bingo..
Jul 18, 2015 5:24 AM - Aaron Mitchell: got pics?
Jul 18, 2015 5:24 AM - jbigler1986: Ur welcome bill.
Jul 18, 2015 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: naw.. it's uninteresting to the masses... part for a test fixture I've got more to make today
Jul 18, 2015 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: jb is 'da man
Jul 18, 2015 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: a little break-it psycho but still 'da man
Jul 18, 2015 5:26 AM - jbigler1986: Hey. My printing is printing beautiful again.
Jul 18, 2015 5:26 AM - Aaron Mitchell: CAn't fix it if you don't break it...
Jul 18, 2015 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe: ya? OK, I'm going to run a numbers thing.. Aaron, care to bet on how long it will last?
Jul 18, 2015 5:27 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Heh...
Jul 18, 2015 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: I cant get over how well this machine bridges..
Jul 18, 2015 5:28 AM - Bill Monroe: long horizontal holes.. no support, no problem
Jul 18, 2015 5:30 AM - Bill Monroe: do you recall a couple of weeks ago a bit of discussion going on about acceleration number?
Jul 18, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah
Jul 18, 2015 5:46 AM - Bill Monroe: if I recall, the tribal agreement was that 2000 was the magic number?
Jul 18, 2015 5:47 AM - jbigler1986: It works great for me.
Jul 18, 2015 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: I went the other way.. 400
Jul 18, 2015 5:48 AM - Bill Monroe: then jacked the default speeds up to ludicrous speed
Jul 18, 2015 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: it run silky smooth, prints are awesome, and it runs as fast as it can
Jul 18, 2015 5:50 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm gunna notch up the accel for awhile to find the point where it wants to walk off the table
Jul 18, 2015 5:51 AM - Seshan: whos using mattercontrol here? it seems to have come along way, and I cant get repetier to connect :/
Jul 18, 2015 5:51 AM - Bill Monroe: S3D
Jul 18, 2015 5:51 AM - jbigler1986: Noooooooo
Jul 18, 2015 5:52 AM - Seshan: ^^^ i wish
Jul 18, 2015 5:52 AM - Seshan: dont have that kind of money
Jul 18, 2015 5:52 AM - jbigler1986: Mattercontrol it the worst. S3D here. Cura is 2nd
Jul 18, 2015 5:52 AM - jbigler1986: Avoid Mattercontrol at all costs
Jul 18, 2015 5:53 AM - Seshan: everythings changed so much, my last print before my print the other day was in may of last year XD
Jul 18, 2015 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: i never saw the logic of paying out to buy something but being unable to afford to support it
Jul 18, 2015 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: happens ALL the time with airplane owners
Jul 18, 2015 5:53 AM - jbigler1986: There is a man with an eye patch that had S3D
Jul 18, 2015 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: pay 400K for a plane.. refuse to pay 2K for a decent radio
Jul 18, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: Well thats how they got the 400k. Being cheap
Jul 18, 2015 5:54 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Why won't Repetier connect?
Jul 18, 2015 5:54 AM - Bill Monroe: not using S3D is like buying a Ferrari but running used tires on it
Jul 18, 2015 5:54 AM - Seshan: do they have a demo version of it yet?
Jul 18, 2015 5:56 AM - Bill Monroe: and speaking of planes and money...
Jul 18, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: in 4 years there's going to be a huge drop in proces for lower-end trainers
Jul 18, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: err prices
Jul 18, 2015 6:02 AM - Seshan: hmmm two trapezoidal 300mm lead screws for $44
Jul 18, 2015 6:02 AM - Seshan: is there any advantage for having the motors built in
Jul 18, 2015 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: just the screws?
Jul 18, 2015 6:02 AM - Seshan: yeah
Jul 18, 2015 6:02 AM - Bill Monroe: if they're not integral, there will be no improvement
Jul 18, 2015 6:03 AM - Bill Monroe: the idea it to lose the coupling, which is were the problem is
Jul 18, 2015 6:03 AM - Seshan: are the robo3d ones trapezoidal?
Jul 18, 2015 6:04 AM - Bill Monroe: mine wasnt, it is now
Jul 18, 2015 6:04 AM - Bill Monroe: but it isnt the thread profile so much as there's no flex in the system
Jul 18, 2015 6:05 AM - Seshan: yeah, but i thought metric was the way to go since it didn't have rounding errors
Jul 18, 2015 6:05 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. The couplers suck
Jul 18, 2015 6:05 AM - Bill Monroe: with ANY CNC.. if you want decent results, there must be no compromise when it comes to eliminating slop in the system
Jul 18, 2015 6:06 AM - Bill Monroe: "good enough" is not
Jul 18, 2015 6:07 AM - Seshan: I'd get the robo ones but its $41 shipping
Jul 18, 2015 6:07 AM - Seshan: plus the canadian dollar already sucks
Jul 18, 2015 6:07 AM - Seshan: so it would be almost $200
Jul 18, 2015 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: oh, canuck?
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: I did what jb did.. amazon, a little fiddling.. done
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 AM - Seshan: yeah
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: I love Canada
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 AM - Seshan: what did he get?
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: take it, jb
Jul 18, 2015 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: what part of Canada? I used to spend a lot of time in Windsor
Jul 18, 2015 6:09 AM - Seshan: im a hour north of toronto
Jul 18, 2015 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
Jul 18, 2015 6:10 AM - Bill Monroe: I've made more trips following the Alcan than I can count, but I was flying over it so, doesnt really count
Jul 18, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: I got them from amazon. 1 sec
Jul 18, 2015 6:11 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JT...SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=sainsmart+leadscrew
Jul 18, 2015 6:13 AM - Seshan: yeah i saw those
Jul 18, 2015 6:13 AM - Seshan: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2Set...0mm-M8-Z-axis-3D-Printer-CNC/32217928693.html
Jul 18, 2015 6:13 AM - Seshan: found those
Jul 18, 2015 6:13 AM - Seshan: cheaper for me
Jul 18, 2015 6:14 AM - Bill Monroe: either would work
Jul 18, 2015 6:14 AM - Seshan: wish I could find t8, but I guess its not that big of a deal
Jul 18, 2015 6:14 AM - Seshan: Also wish I could find ones with the nuts the robo ones have
Jul 18, 2015 6:28 AM - jim3Dbot: ha-ha
Jul 18, 2015 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: Ses, the pic looks like they ARE T8.. the description might be a typo..
Jul 18, 2015 6:29 AM - Bill Monroe: whoa.. significant thunder here
Jul 18, 2015 6:31 AM - jbigler1986: Print my lead screw adapters and you will be fine
Jul 18, 2015 6:32 AM - Seshan: they do custom lengths, I wonder if its worth adding some z hight
Jul 18, 2015 6:32 AM - jbigler1986: I need to put some rubber inbetween the hercustruder and case. Vibration sounds horrible
Jul 18, 2015 6:34 AM - jbigler1986: If you print with no case its worth it. But if you print with a case its not worth it
Jul 18, 2015 6:34 AM - Seshan: I havn't had a case on since day one
Jul 18, 2015 6:36 AM - jbigler1986: Then yeah. It would be worth it to get longer ones. Get longer smooth rods too. Need a way to stabilize them though
Jul 18, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: just found an ant on my desk.. along with the thunder.. those are signs it will rain
Jul 18, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: I use the case to stablize mine.. but then again I dont print uber-tall stuff
Jul 18, 2015 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: ok.. lighting/sound doppler indicated rain is just a mile away
Jul 18, 2015 6:37 AM - Seshan: i havnt really printed anything tall either, i did plan on adding some suppots to the smooth rods
Jul 18, 2015 6:37 AM - Bill Monroe: i know.. big deal right? I'm in California
Jul 18, 2015 6:40 AM - Bill Monroe: Turn that Robo into a Prusa
Jul 18, 2015 6:41 AM - Seshan: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...5-3mm-Direct-V6-Wade/1051583_32274632373.html
Jul 18, 2015 6:41 AM - Seshan: $25 e3d clone

 

Jul 18, 2015 6:41 AM - Seshan: even the same fan shroud
Jul 18, 2015 6:51 AM - Bill Monroe: I wouldnt be surprised if it was actually a poorly made copy and they just used pics stolen from the E3D website
Jul 18, 2015 6:57 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/E3D-v6-HotE...248?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4198893d80
Jul 18, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bills-lab
Jul 18, 2015 6:59 AM - Mike Glass: Hi Bill
Jul 18, 2015 7:02 AM - Mike Glass: that one from ali does not look right, the nozzle does not even look like an ed3.
Jul 18, 2015 7:02 AM - Aaron Mitchell: You get what you pay for
Jul 18, 2015 7:02 AM - Mike Glass: good price though
Jul 18, 2015 7:08 AM - Bill Monroe: MG!
Jul 18, 2015 7:09 AM - Bill Monroe: I agree.. I bought both of mine from Matt.. known quality, worth the money
Jul 18, 2015 7:09 AM - Bill Monroe: heck, the dang things dont ever wear out, initial cost isnt much of a factor
Jul 18, 2015 7:30 AM - Printed Solid: That Ali is a bad clone. look at the entrance to the heatsink.
Jul 18, 2015 7:31 AM - Printed Solid: oh, it's not there for some reason. that's strange.
Jul 18, 2015 7:31 AM - Bill Monroe: Hi Matt
Jul 18, 2015 7:31 AM - Printed Solid: I can't understand how the clones are spending the $$ to make a convincing looking fan shroud, but can't spend the $$ to make a decent hot end.
Jul 18, 2015 7:31 AM - Printed Solid: hello
Jul 18, 2015 7:32 AM - Bill Monroe: they've got decades of practice making molds to rip off other's work
Jul 18, 2015 7:32 AM - Printed Solid: the interesting thing is that those @#$ clones actually are keeping the cost o the real E3Ds high because the people buy them, they don't work, then they contact E3D for support.
Jul 18, 2015 7:33 AM - Printed Solid: The support takes a long time because it takes a bit to figure out that the parts are not correct.
Jul 18, 2015 7:33 AM - Printed Solid: shitty practice.
Jul 18, 2015 7:35 AM - Mike Glass: sad that they get away with calling it a E3d
Jul 18, 2015 7:37 AM - Bill Monroe: my company is pulling out of China and returning to Mexico
Jul 18, 2015 7:37 AM - Bill Monroe: but they have to do it slowly and quietly or the chinese will suddenly lose all the tools we sent
Jul 18, 2015 7:38 AM - Mike Glass: to bad they cant come to the us and support jobs here. but that is the american way I guess, going to shit in a handbasket.
Jul 18, 2015 7:39 AM - Bill Monroe: it might happen.. we have a couple of small facilities on arizona indian reservations.. so far it's been OK
Jul 18, 2015 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: shipping infrastructure is still a problem though
Jul 18, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Glass: where are most of the products shipped too.
Jul 18, 2015 7:41 AM - Bill Monroe: plus, we're a mega-size international company working on getting into foreign markets.. they dont appreciate pulling out and leaving their people unemployed
Jul 18, 2015 7:42 AM - Bill Monroe: just getting raw materials and returning finished goods to the plant there is a problem.. UPS goes there but cost os prohibitive
Jul 18, 2015 7:42 AM - Bill Monroe: I hear they're trying to prop-up an independent trucking company on the reservation
Jul 18, 2015 7:44 AM - Bill Monroe: they also didnt anticipate the fact that most indians on the reservation recieve federal subsidies and have no incentive to work, or do quality work if they do show up
Jul 18, 2015 7:44 AM - Mike Glass: lol true.
Jul 18, 2015 7:44 AM - Bill Monroe: which is a whole other issue
Jul 18, 2015 7:45 AM - Bill Monroe: heh they even floated an idea to use a special version of our logo with a native american vibe... they said it was an insult
Jul 18, 2015 7:46 AM - jbigler1986: Can i just print a screw driver for the pot or will it have static
Jul 18, 2015 7:46 AM - Bill Monroe: for christ's sake.. just whittle a stick!
Jul 18, 2015 7:47 AM - Mike Glass: I use a platic handle with metal tip screwdriver and clip a lead from the multimeter to the screwdriver for tuning
Jul 18, 2015 7:47 AM - Bill Monroe: seriously, if you need a special tool that much, maybe you shouldnt be touching them at all
Jul 18, 2015 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: Touch them all the time on other electronics.
Jul 18, 2015 7:49 AM - Bill Monroe: well, ok then
Jul 18, 2015 7:49 AM - jim3Dbot: Use a metal jewlery screwdriver, if worried, touch the metal grounded chassis first to eliminate static
Jul 18, 2015 7:50 AM - jim3Dbot: Power supply case is grounded
Jul 18, 2015 7:50 AM - Bill Monroe: you're not going to ESD hurt the driver with a screwdriver
Jul 18, 2015 7:50 AM - Bill Monroe: unless it's connected to your lighning rod
Jul 18, 2015 7:50 AM - jim3Dbot: no u won't
Jul 18, 2015 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: other tronics... I dont know.. but the ramps drivers are robust
Jul 18, 2015 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: they'd have to be or the maker crowd woudnt exist
Jul 18, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Glass: I've never had a problem tunning them that way, and I have high static in this dry climate
Jul 18, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Glass: just make sure you touch a ground before picking up a screwdriver.
Jul 18, 2015 7:52 AM - jim3Dbot: Parts soldered in board are usually safe, it's when u remove them, the high input impedance may be an issue...
Jul 18, 2015 7:53 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Jul 18, 2015 7:54 AM - Bill Monroe: I ran a circuit board assy shop back in the heyday of CMOS.. then you had to be careful.. since then competition has cuased the mfgs to design-out ESD issues for most stuff so even loose they're tolerant
Jul 18, 2015 7:55 AM - Mike Glass: yea those old chips would fry just looking at them.
Jul 18, 2015 7:56 AM - Bill Monroe: heh they were so gun shy in those days.. we had a 3M QE point to parts bin that wasnt conductive and admonish everyone for a cavalier attitude...
Jul 18, 2015 7:56 AM - Bill Monroe: it contained Zero-ohm resistors
Jul 18, 2015 7:56 AM - jim3Dbot: Yep, designed protos, assembled cmos, thru-hole & SMT, for about 40 years, cannot recall zappin' anything...correct cmos inputs are protected now
Jul 18, 2015 7:59 AM - Mike Glass: remember these
Jul 18, 2015 7:59 AM - Bill Monroe: one of the things about internet learning and the maker crowd.. lots of old wive's tales and outdated intel gets spread as gospel by people that dont really know what they're talking about
Jul 18, 2015 7:59 AM - Bill Monroe: woohoo! I still have my UV eraser!
Jul 18, 2015 8:00 AM - jim3Dbot: I get resistors, pots, wire from digikey, mouser, & newark in antistatic bags...really?
Jul 18, 2015 8:00 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. I think that's just so they dont have to stock different bags
Jul 18, 2015 8:01 AM - Bill Monroe: but hey, you wont have infant mortality issues with that 26AWG stranded, that's for sure
Jul 18, 2015 8:02 AM - jim3Dbot: I had many UV erasable eproms, actually set out in the sun to erase for a practical joke on another techy, after removing the black sticker...couldn't get to erase..........
Jul 18, 2015 8:02 AM - Seshan: what ever happened to the robo r2
Jul 18, 2015 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: it ran off with another one and started making R4s?
Jul 18, 2015 8:03 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Jul 18, 2015 8:03 AM - Seshan:
Jul 18, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: I think that chip is a 8k eprom, does that sound right
Jul 18, 2015 8:05 AM - jim3Dbot: Texas Insruments, may be an 8K
Jul 18, 2015 8:05 AM - Mike Glass: we used these to make laser light shows controlling glavo mirror motors
Jul 18, 2015 8:07 AM - jim3Dbot: Speaking of mirrors, worked on Hubbel years ago.....
Jul 18, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Glass: what division?
Jul 18, 2015 8:09 AM - jim3Dbot: Contraves Goertz...formally Fecker? made about 2.5meter mirror.....I worked on servos though...Pittsburgh mid 80's
Jul 18, 2015 8:10 AM - jim3Dbot: Also, spent alot of time in the desert...White Sands
Jul 18, 2015 8:11 AM - Mike Glass: haha nice name Feckers. used by the irish
Jul 18, 2015 8:12 AM - jim3Dbot: Ha Ha
Jul 18, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/The-Feckin-Book-Everything-Irish/dp/1847170528 we have this book
Jul 18, 2015 8:13 AM - jim3Dbot: wife, irish, she needs that book
Jul 18, 2015 8:13 AM - Mike Glass: its halarious
Jul 18, 2015 8:13 AM - jim3Dbot: bookmarked
Jul 18, 2015 8:13 AM - Mike Glass: one of our interns went there and bought it back to us.
Jul 18, 2015 8:14 AM - jim3Dbot: re donkulous
Jul 18, 2015 8:17 AM - jim3Dbot: J.W. Fecker Company
Jul 18, 2015 8:18 AM - jim3Dbot: Gotta go cut grass...........shit
Jul 18, 2015 8:20 AM - Mike Glass: haha
Jul 18, 2015 8:38 AM - donhuevo: morning
Jul 18, 2015 8:53 AM - Mike Glass: Hey don
Jul 18, 2015 8:54 AM - donhuevo: morning Mike
Jul 18, 2015 8:54 AM - Mike Glass: whats happenin today
Jul 18, 2015 8:55 AM - donhuevo: still working on the new carriage.
Jul 18, 2015 8:56 AM - donhuevo: there's a decent void under the heatsink fan dict. I'm hollowing it out for two neopixels
Jul 18, 2015 8:57 AM - Printed Solid: Are any of you guys successfully running dual?
Jul 18, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: Mike is, jb is working toward it
Jul 18, 2015 8:58 AM - Mike Glass: not this Mike
Jul 18, 2015 8:58 AM - donhuevo: no... Mike 'Roxie Glittertush' Kelly is
Jul 18, 2015 8:59 AM - Printed Solid: lol. I know that MK is. Just wondering if any of you guys have gotten there.
Jul 18, 2015 9:00 AM - Printed Solid: There are a number of companies coming out with dissolvable support materials that they are claiming is more printable than PVA.
Jul 18, 2015 9:01 AM - Printed Solid: I'd like to get some testers lined up, but I want to know that the testers know how to run dual so we're testing the material rather than their ability to use dual printing if you know what I mean.
Jul 18, 2015 9:03 AM - donhuevo: for now, I think MK is gonna be the only one standing in that line
Jul 18, 2015 9:04 AM - donhuevo: I just finished a dual carriage for jb and if no tweaks are necessary, he could be printing dual in the next few days

 

Jul 18, 2015 9:07 AM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 9:10 AM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 9:11 AM - Printed Solid: nice
Jul 18, 2015 9:11 AM - donhuevo: I hope it works for him
Jul 18, 2015 9:12 AM - Printed Solid: I've got plenty of customers running flash forge or similar duals, so I'll check in with them as well. If anyone pops up running dual, feel free to point them over to me for some samples.
Jul 18, 2015 9:12 AM - Printed Solid: I like to share with you guys firs
Jul 18, 2015 9:12 AM - donhuevo: dunno why, we're such dicts
Jul 18, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Glass: nice
Jul 18, 2015 9:20 AM - donhuevo: have you run across a complete list of s3d's gcode placeholders yet?
Jul 18, 2015 9:20 AM - donhuevo: my initial searching has turned up just a few
Jul 18, 2015 9:31 AM - donhuevo: found enough to convert cura start/end gcodes to s3d
Jul 18, 2015 9:39 AM - donhuevo: MG, I re-read the folgertech parts list and the carbon fiber tubes are coming uncut. Critical that they be exactly the same length from tie rod end center to tie rod end center
Jul 18, 2015 9:41 AM - Mike Glass: yea I saw that, that should be fun for him to cut but he has alot of resources for machinery.
Jul 18, 2015 9:41 AM - Mike Glass: we are going to get a V6 hotend for it as well
Jul 18, 2015 9:41 AM - donhuevo: I've seen countless jigs to hold the tie rod ends while the glue sets
Jul 18, 2015 9:42 AM - Mike Glass: hmm yea thats a good idea
Jul 18, 2015 9:42 AM - Mike Glass: I kinda of have a mock up on your carriage, but not sure if it would work.
Jul 18, 2015 9:43 AM - donhuevo: can I see?
Jul 18, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Glass: I dont have a blower fan to place in to see the size
Jul 18, 2015 9:43 AM - donhuevo: the blower I found was about 50 x 50. don't know if you noticed but I widened the carriage 5mm to accomodate that
Jul 18, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Glass: maybe grab cad has one
Jul 18, 2015 9:44 AM - donhuevo: I have a very block version I could give you
Jul 18, 2015 9:44 AM - donhuevo: *blocky
Jul 18, 2015 9:44 AM - Mike Glass: 40x40x20?
Jul 18, 2015 9:45 AM - donhuevo: 50x50x15
Jul 18, 2015 9:45 AM - donhuevo: the exhaust port is 15x20
Jul 18, 2015 9:48 AM - donhuevo: http://www.oddhobs.com/mg/
Jul 18, 2015 9:53 AM - donhuevo: if you already grabbed that, grab it again... I added the v6 hot end to it
Jul 18, 2015 9:55 AM - Mike Glass: I found one. let me see if it will fit then take a snap
Jul 18, 2015 9:56 AM - donhuevo: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/donhuevo-s-robo3d
Jul 18, 2015 10:11 AM - Mike Glass: what filament you using
Jul 18, 2015 10:12 AM - donhuevo: hatchbox
Jul 18, 2015 10:13 AM - Mike Glass: abs?
Jul 18, 2015 10:13 AM - donhuevo: never.
Jul 18, 2015 10:18 AM - Mike Glass: http://imgur.com/a/Ptn4w
Jul 18, 2015 10:18 AM - donhuevo: where is the heatsink fan pulling air from?
Jul 18, 2015 10:19 AM - Mike Glass: there is a hole in back of the fan and in that u shape in the back
Jul 18, 2015 10:21 AM - donhuevo: I see it now
Jul 18, 2015 10:22 AM - Mike Glass: not sure it would work but looks kinda cool
Jul 18, 2015 10:22 AM - donhuevo: yeah it does
Jul 18, 2015 10:23 AM - Mike Glass: although you could move the fan on the side of the hotend and move it more center
Jul 18, 2015 10:24 AM - donhuevo: that would work too
Jul 18, 2015 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: then you could get full duct to the bottom
Jul 18, 2015 10:24 AM - Mike Glass: sorry dict
Jul 18, 2015 10:24 AM - donhuevo: haha
Jul 18, 2015 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: Howdy
Jul 18, 2015 10:33 AM - donhuevo: hey
Jul 18, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: if jb uses your dual design I'll need to design him a shorter spacer for his lead screws
Jul 18, 2015 10:34 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Mike
Jul 18, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: Hey mike
Jul 18, 2015 10:41 AM - donhuevo: this is where my head's at with the led's
Jul 18, 2015 11:11 AM - jbigler1986: Back
Jul 18, 2015 11:12 AM - donhuevo: hey bud
Jul 18, 2015 11:13 AM - donhuevo: http://www.oddhobs.com/jb/
Jul 18, 2015 11:14 AM - jbigler1986: Awesome. Everything there? Got the stepper and drivers earlier
Jul 18, 2015 11:14 AM - donhuevo: all there. gave you two options on the top, one with support drawn in and one without. if you're using s3d, go with the one without
Jul 18, 2015 11:19 AM - jbigler1986: Yep. S3d
Jul 18, 2015 11:20 AM - donhuevo: then ya, use that to add your support in
Jul 18, 2015 11:23 AM - jbigler1986: Alright. Will start it in a few
Jul 18, 2015 11:33 AM - Mike Glass: is that bottom thick enough to support. looks thin?
Jul 18, 2015 11:34 AM - donhuevo: bottom of what?
Jul 18, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: of the dual carriage
Jul 18, 2015 11:34 AM - donhuevo: it's 4mm
Jul 18, 2015 11:35 AM - Mike Glass: even on the fan side?
Jul 18, 2015 11:35 AM - donhuevo: it gets a little thin right at the fan but I subtracted with a cone so it doesn't stay thin long
Jul 18, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: gotcha, not the flex will hurt anything.
Jul 18, 2015 11:37 AM - donhuevo: I really don't think it'll flex. the stuff surrounding the hot ends spans the distance between the bearing tubes
Jul 18, 2015 11:41 AM - Mike Glass: do you have meshmixer?
Jul 18, 2015 11:41 AM - donhuevo: I don't
Jul 18, 2015 11:42 AM - Mike Glass: It has some nice tools for analysis if you dont have SW
Jul 18, 2015 11:42 AM - donhuevo: did you analyze the dual carriage?
Jul 18, 2015 11:43 AM - Mike Glass: yea on the thickness
Jul 18, 2015 11:44 AM - donhuevo: how bad?
Jul 18, 2015 11:45 AM - Mike Glass:
Jul 18, 2015 11:46 AM - donhuevo: what's it all mean?
Jul 18, 2015 11:51 AM - Mike Glass: just mainly saying the top is thinner the the rest
Jul 18, 2015 11:51 AM - donhuevo: it's similar to my other carriages but we won't know for sure til jb prints one and tries to twist it
Jul 18, 2015 11:52 AM - Mike Glass: sure it will be fine
Jul 18, 2015 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: the strength analysis looks fine, just the grill part is showing weak, but thats a given.
Jul 18, 2015 11:54 AM - donhuevo: some of that grill may only be 2mm thick now that I'm thinking about it
Jul 18, 2015 11:55 AM - Mike Glass:
Jul 18, 2015 11:57 AM - donhuevo: if need be, I could offset the outside of the grill face another mm or so
Jul 18, 2015 11:58 AM - donhuevo: those v6's are so damned tiny
Jul 18, 2015 12:00 PM - jbigler1986: about to start it now
Jul 18, 2015 12:01 PM - donhuevo: turquoise?
Jul 18, 2015 12:01 PM - jbigler1986: yep. should i add support to the carriage itself?
Jul 18, 2015 12:02 PM - donhuevo: no. print it as is
Jul 18, 2015 12:02 PM - Mike Glass: yea looks like it shouldnt really need any with your bridging.
Jul 18, 2015 12:04 PM - donhuevo: as the bearing tubes are closing up, the edges may warp up a little and make some speed bumps for a few layers but that should be the worst of it
Jul 18, 2015 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: heating up now
Jul 18, 2015 12:11 PM - Mike Glass: don can you chamfer with your software?
Jul 18, 2015 12:11 PM - jbigler1986: gonna wire up this stepper to a 4 pin and put together the other hercustruder while it's printing
Jul 18, 2015 12:12 PM - donhuevo: chamfer, fillet... no problem
Jul 18, 2015 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: belt just uses the arcs?
Jul 18, 2015 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: I always use one or the other for the bottom that way it has less elephants foot.
Jul 18, 2015 12:13 PM - Mike Glass: or none at all
Jul 18, 2015 12:13 PM - donhuevo: yep. loop over then zip tie
Jul 18, 2015 12:13 PM - donhuevo: I have one of those tools for trimming away the elephant's foot
Jul 18, 2015 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: so just like stock pretty much
Jul 18, 2015 12:13 PM - donhuevo: yep

 

Jul 18, 2015 12:13 PM - donhuevo: is your x switch in the right place for that screw hole?
Jul 18, 2015 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: yeah. i moved it off of the carriage
Jul 18, 2015 12:14 PM - donhuevo: k
Jul 18, 2015 12:15 PM - donhuevo: one of these... http://www.amazon.com/SHAVIV-90058-...id=1437247036&sr=8-14&keywords=shaviv+mango+2
Jul 18, 2015 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: deburring tool,,hmm
Jul 18, 2015 12:18 PM - donhuevo: cut's the elephant's foot right off
Jul 18, 2015 12:18 PM - donhuevo: still on my first blade
Jul 18, 2015 12:20 PM - Mike Glass: so how hard would it be to move the hotend on this carriage 10mm and put the fan on the side, then put the blower fan right behind it.
Jul 18, 2015 12:21 PM - Mike Glass: then move the belt clips like on the dual
Jul 18, 2015 12:22 PM - donhuevo: for my purposes, impossible. I'd have to redesign both my idler ends too
Jul 18, 2015 12:25 PM - donhuevo: is that something you'd want for yourself?
Jul 18, 2015 12:26 PM - Mike Glass: maybe, just seeing what is possible with that blower fan
Jul 18, 2015 12:27 PM - donhuevo: these were my initial sketches. the space is all that's available between the bearing tubes
Jul 18, 2015 12:27 PM - donhuevo: spreading out the x rods would make the sky the limit
Jul 18, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Glass: something like this don
Jul 18, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Glass: looks like a race car..lol
Jul 18, 2015 1:03 PM - donhuevo: it does!
Jul 18, 2015 1:22 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 18, 2015 1:22 PM - donhuevo: pretty
Jul 18, 2015 1:25 PM - jbigler1986: Thanks. Threads not looking the greatest. Need to inspect it closer
Jul 18, 2015 1:26 PM - donhuevo: oh, the carriage threads?
Jul 18, 2015 1:26 PM - jbigler1986: No. The other ones
Jul 18, 2015 1:27 PM - donhuevo: gotcha
Jul 18, 2015 1:28 PM - jbigler1986: Is that the ones u were having trouble with
Jul 18, 2015 1:30 PM - donhuevo: it was but came out perfect in s3d
Jul 18, 2015 1:37 PM - jbigler1986: They dont look terrible. Just not that great
Jul 18, 2015 1:40 PM - donhuevo: I allowed for some slop but not tons
Jul 18, 2015 1:40 PM - Stephen Capistron: Don't have to look good, just work
Jul 18, 2015 1:42 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 18, 2015 1:42 PM - donhuevo: you're doing multiple parts?
Jul 18, 2015 1:43 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Lol. Threads should be by themselves.
Jul 18, 2015 1:43 PM - donhuevo: yep
Jul 18, 2015 1:44 PM - jbigler1986: Doesnt look terrible though
Jul 18, 2015 1:44 PM - donhuevo: all you can do is try. If it doesn't thread, print another
Jul 18, 2015 1:45 PM - jbigler1986: May drop the temp a few degrees as well
Jul 18, 2015 1:46 PM - Stephen Capistron: One nice thing with printing threads is you can always tweak the extrusion % until you get it right
Jul 18, 2015 1:47 PM - donhuevo: true
Jul 18, 2015 1:49 PM - Stephen Capistron: I also wonder if a little slurry of bar keepers helper would be enough to sand the mating faces
Jul 18, 2015 1:51 PM - donhuevo: is that like Comet?
Jul 18, 2015 1:51 PM - donhuevo: my first thought was slurry... bar... margarita mix
Jul 18, 2015 1:52 PM - Stephen Capistron: Same as comet, or cook top cleaner
Jul 18, 2015 1:53 PM - Stephen Capistron: I used to work with ceramics, everything was a slurry
Jul 18, 2015 1:53 PM - donhuevo: never thought to try anything like that. just kept tweaking and reprinting until they worked
Jul 18, 2015 1:54 PM - Stephen Capistron: And if I have too many beers tonight I might be a little slurry
Jul 18, 2015 1:54 PM - Mike Glass: or if you used abs, a little acetone and work really fast.
Jul 18, 2015 1:54 PM - donhuevo: the first time you test fit, you glue them together
Jul 18, 2015 1:56 PM - Stephen Capistron: If you use abs just vapor Polish until they fit
Jul 18, 2015 1:58 PM - donhuevo: I'm not what you call an ABfnS user
Jul 18, 2015 2:00 PM - Mike Glass: come on, you dont like running your bed at 150c just so it wont warp.
Jul 18, 2015 2:00 PM - donhuevo: my bed calls me all sorts of foul names when I try and get it up near 100
Jul 18, 2015 2:00 PM - Mike Glass: I have never gone above 75 myself
Jul 18, 2015 2:03 PM - Stephen Capistron: I run mine at 95c with my foam enclosure and I recently added a 75w bulb for extra heat
Jul 18, 2015 2:04 PM - Stephen Capistron: Works pretty well. Gets up to 55-60 in there
Jul 18, 2015 2:04 PM - Mike Glass: is your poor case warped now
Jul 18, 2015 2:04 PM - Stephen Capistron: No top on it to warp
Jul 18, 2015 2:05 PM - donhuevo: how do you remove individual support columns in s3d?
Jul 18, 2015 2:05 PM - Stephen Capistron: Without an aluminum foil deflector the bulb did melt a hole in my foam
Jul 18, 2015 2:06 PM - donhuevo: an aluminum helmet for your bulb
Jul 18, 2015 2:06 PM - Mike Glass: I think you have to delete generated support then maually add your own.
Jul 18, 2015 2:06 PM - Stephen Capistron: Keep the government from spying on its thoughts
Jul 18, 2015 2:13 PM - donhuevo: jb, I know its really late to be saying this, but I like to print those j clips @ 100%
Jul 18, 2015 2:15 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah that is probably a good idea
Jul 18, 2015 2:17 PM - Printed Solid: jb:
Jul 18, 2015 2:17 PM - Printed Solid:
Jul 18, 2015 2:17 PM - jbigler1986: Checking pm
Jul 18, 2015 2:18 PM - Printed Solid: lol. how are you guys pasting images into the shoutbox?
Jul 18, 2015 2:19 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 2:20 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 2:21 PM - jbigler1986: Imgur
Jul 18, 2015 2:21 PM - Printed Solid: OK. so it's just the link.
Jul 18, 2015 2:27 PM - jbigler1986: Alright the noise of the stepper is annoying me. Hmmmm. What to use to adjust the pot. Dont have any popsicle sticks or toothpicks
Jul 18, 2015 2:28 PM - donhuevo: the biggest flat head screwdriver you can find
Jul 18, 2015 2:32 PM - Aaron Mitchell: JB...you broke something already?
Jul 18, 2015 2:32 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 18, 2015 2:38 PM - jbigler1986: No. It just needs adjusting
Jul 18, 2015 2:39 PM - jbigler1986: Lol don. Let me go ahead a short out the board
Jul 18, 2015 2:48 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Is Mike Kelly on?
Jul 18, 2015 2:49 PM - donhuevo: so this one threaded on a little too easy\
Jul 18, 2015 3:02 PM - daniel871: Hey guys. So this is interesting. http://printm3d.com/
Jul 18, 2015 3:03 PM - jbigler1986: Stopped it. Pretty sure it was skipping steps. Trying to make something to adjust the pot. May grab a stick and sand it
Jul 18, 2015 3:05 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 3:06 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 3:06 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 18, 2015 3:07 PM - jbigler1986: Looks great
Jul 18, 2015 3:08 PM - donhuevo: trying not to waste any space
Jul 18, 2015 3:09 PM - daniel871: That link I just posted is a Tiko alternative.
Jul 18, 2015 3:12 PM - donhuevo: but its not a delta
Jul 18, 2015 3:16 PM - Bill Monroe: what filament is that dan?
Jul 18, 2015 3:16 PM - Bill Monroe: I mean, DOn
Jul 18, 2015 3:16 PM - donhuevo: hatchbox PLA
Jul 18, 2015 3:17 PM - Bill Monroe: really, seems bluer than normal
Jul 18, 2015 3:17 PM - Bill Monroe: real purdy
Jul 18, 2015 3:17 PM - donhuevo: iphone+white LED's=weirdness
Jul 18, 2015 3:18 PM - Bill Monroe: ah, that's probably it
Jul 18, 2015 3:19 PM - donhuevo: but even in sunlight, it's a nice blue
Jul 18, 2015 3:20 PM - Bill Monroe: indeed.. gotta put that on my shopping list.. I'm a sucker for blue
Jul 18, 2015 3:20 PM - donhuevo: I have their green. gonna try that next
Jul 18, 2015 3:21 PM - Bill Monroe: im running their gold atm.. it's just OK
Jul 18, 2015 3:21 PM - Mike Kelly: Is it a light green?
Jul 18, 2015 3:21 PM - donhuevo: not really. the picture on amazon is pretty accurate

 

Jul 18, 2015 3:22 PM - donhuevo: http://www.amazon.com/HATCHBOX-1-75...qid=1437258273&sr=8-1&keywords=hatchbox+green
Jul 18, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: Ah so like a grassy green
Jul 18, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Glass: hey don was that light underneath that carriage
Jul 18, 2015 3:24 PM - Bill Monroe: crap.. I went to order the blue and it said I ordered it a month ago.. I better go look in the stockroom
Jul 18, 2015 3:24 PM - Mike Glass: I got a dark green from justpla, need to test it.
Jul 18, 2015 3:24 PM - donhuevo: yep. one facing the heatsink inside and one for the print
Jul 18, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: is it white?
Jul 18, 2015 3:25 PM - donhuevo: if I want it to be
Jul 18, 2015 3:25 PM - donhuevo: the one on the part will be white. the one inside will change with the hotend temp
Jul 18, 2015 3:25 PM - Mike Glass: is it very bright when in white mode
Jul 18, 2015 3:25 PM - donhuevo: I have one on my current carriage
Jul 18, 2015 3:26 PM - donhuevo: it's enough to cut the shadows from the overheads
Jul 18, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Glass: oh, guess I didnt realize that.
Jul 18, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Glass: man I wish you used solidworks, would be alot easier to modify that file..
Jul 18, 2015 3:27 PM - donhuevo: these are what I use... http://www.adafruit.com/products/1612
Jul 18, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Glass: digital controlled, what are you using for that. I have a nano I could use.
Jul 18, 2015 3:28 PM - Bill Monroe: funny
Jul 18, 2015 3:28 PM - donhuevo: and this is old, but you get the idea...
Jul 18, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Glass: holy shit its on fire
Jul 18, 2015 3:29 PM - donhuevo: I have the neopixel libraries added into the firmware. I'm using a spare pin in the printer
Jul 18, 2015 3:29 PM - Mike Glass: sweet
Jul 18, 2015 3:30 PM - donhuevo: I don't dict around
Jul 18, 2015 3:30 PM - Mike Glass: I guess not
Jul 18, 2015 3:38 PM - donhuevo: do I really need SW to do what you need done?
Jul 18, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Glass: no, but when I import yours into sw I dont get all the features
Jul 18, 2015 3:41 PM - donhuevo: dxf is pretty much my only other option
Jul 18, 2015 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: Need something solid
Jul 18, 2015 3:45 PM - Mike Glass: WHat program are you using don
Jul 18, 2015 3:46 PM - donhuevo: autocad
Jul 18, 2015 3:46 PM - Mike Glass: hmm I cant open it in freecad for some reason.
Jul 18, 2015 3:46 PM - Mike Glass: can you save as a step file?
Jul 18, 2015 3:47 PM - donhuevo: doesn't seem to be an option
Jul 18, 2015 3:56 PM - jbigler1986: Stepper adjusted. Voltage was way to high
Jul 18, 2015 4:07 PM - donhuevo: did you say you stopped the print?
Jul 18, 2015 4:09 PM - Mike Glass:
Jul 18, 2015 4:10 PM - donhuevo: three more export options... dwf, dgn, fbx
Jul 18, 2015 4:10 PM - Mike Glass: I could try dwf
Jul 18, 2015 4:10 PM - donhuevo: and dxf
Jul 18, 2015 4:12 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Pretty sure extruder was skipping.
Jul 18, 2015 4:13 PM - jbigler1986: It has sounded like crap since i installed the geared stepper. Explains why it was getting hot as hell too
Jul 18, 2015 4:13 PM - donhuevo: well yeah
Jul 18, 2015 4:14 PM - donhuevo: no luck on the dwf
Jul 18, 2015 4:14 PM - donhuevo: won't let me save it because I don't have a dwf viewer installed
Jul 18, 2015 4:15 PM - donhuevo: this might be something...
Jul 18, 2015 4:16 PM - jbigler1986: Well time to wire up the 2nd extruder while the printer is on its side
Jul 18, 2015 4:18 PM - jbigler1986: I tuurned it down until it wouldnt rotate. Then bumped it up a tiny bit.
Jul 18, 2015 4:19 PM - jbigler1986: Did it with a metal screwdriver.
Jul 18, 2015 4:19 PM - jbigler1986: Pulled power everytime i adjusted. Im not that dumb
Jul 18, 2015 4:22 PM - donhuevo: I thought you bought a fancy shmancy ceramic screwdriver
Jul 18, 2015 4:23 PM - jbigler1986: Almost did.
Jul 18, 2015 4:23 PM - jbigler1986: I have one but its to big
Jul 18, 2015 4:24 PM - jbigler1986: Sounds so much better and shouldnt get hot as hell anymore
Jul 18, 2015 4:53 PM - Mike Kelly: can't find my damn ceramic screwdriver
Jul 18, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: Mike yor not even home
Jul 18, 2015 5:08 PM - Mike Kelly: well i cleaned my garage cause i couldn't find that thing, still couldn't
Jul 18, 2015 5:09 PM - Mike Glass: Lol just given ya crap
Jul 18, 2015 5:10 PM - Mike Kelly: lol k
Jul 18, 2015 5:12 PM - Mike Glass: How is nm
Jul 18, 2015 5:13 PM - Mike Kelly: hot
Jul 18, 2015 5:13 PM - Mike Kelly: the baby shower was alright, reconnected with some friends from HS
Jul 18, 2015 5:20 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 18, 2015 5:21 PM - Aaron Mitchell: These are going to new a firmware revision due to the different threads, aren't they?
Jul 18, 2015 5:24 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Christmas in July...
Jul 18, 2015 5:48 PM - Mike Kelly: wow good day for you
Jul 18, 2015 5:48 PM - Mike Kelly: when did your linear steppers show up?
Jul 18, 2015 5:49 PM - Aaron Mitchell: This afternoon with the mail...was expecting them Monday...
Jul 18, 2015 5:49 PM - Aaron Mitchell: The threads are different on them
Jul 18, 2015 5:50 PM - Aaron Mitchell: higher pitch on them and spacing
Jul 18, 2015 5:50 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i think it's 1600 steps per mm
Jul 18, 2015 5:50 PM - Mike Kelly: measure the thread pitch
Jul 18, 2015 5:50 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I don't have anything here to measure them with..
Jul 18, 2015 5:51 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I will probably wait till you get yours and we can install them together
Jul 18, 2015 5:51 PM - Mike Kelly: heh ok
Jul 18, 2015 5:51 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I am concerned about the thread difference though...let me get a picture of these next to the originals...
Jul 18, 2015 5:52 PM - Mike Kelly: pretty sure they're 2mm
Jul 18, 2015 5:52 PM - Mike Kelly: got a tape measure?
Jul 18, 2015 5:53 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 18, 2015 5:54 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm almost positive it's 2mm
Jul 18, 2015 5:54 PM - Mike Kelly: they're 1600 steps per mm
Jul 18, 2015 5:55 PM - Aaron Mitchell: yes...2mm...checked with my calipers
Jul 18, 2015 5:55 PM - Aaron Mitchell: So the stepper has 800 s/mm?
Jul 18, 2015 5:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I mean 800s/thread
Jul 18, 2015 5:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I'm tired...
Jul 18, 2015 5:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell: 3200 steps/thread?
Jul 18, 2015 5:56 PM - Mike Kelly: uh
Jul 18, 2015 5:56 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Jul 18, 2015 5:57 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That is the precision of the stepper - I am assuming 3200 steps/rotation
Jul 18, 2015 5:58 PM - Mike Glass: Damn should of had them delivered to the house
Jul 18, 2015 5:58 PM - Mike Kelly: never really thought of it like that since you only use steps per mm in the firmware
Jul 18, 2015 5:58 PM - Aaron Mitchell: So the next question is, has anyone updated the firmware?
Jul 18, 2015 5:58 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
Jul 18, 2015 5:58 PM - Mike Kelly: all the time
Jul 18, 2015 5:59 PM - Mike Glass: Easy
Jul 18, 2015 5:59 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Is there just a line of code that needs changed in the firmware?
Jul 18, 2015 5:59 PM - Mike Kelly: yup, didn't robo upload a lead screw firmware?
Jul 18, 2015 5:59 PM - Mike Glass: They have code for the upgrade posted
Jul 18, 2015 5:59 PM - Mike Kelly: all you need is to change your Z steps from 2560 to 1600
Jul 18, 2015 5:59 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Not sure...hadn't checked yet...
Jul 18, 2015 6:00 PM - Mike Glass: Third link down
Jul 18, 2015 6:00 PM - Aaron Mitchell: ok...well...I have the LCD to install as well...and I need to get MK's feet and LCD cover printed first...

 

Jul 18, 2015 6:02 PM - Mike Kelly: sweet
Jul 18, 2015 6:03 PM - Mike Kelly: i uploaded new files that work better with a bottom cover
Jul 18, 2015 6:03 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I saw those...so I got one with a plug cutout, socket...and two regular...all for bottom
Jul 18, 2015 6:04 PM - Aaron Mitchell: that right?
Jul 18, 2015 6:04 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
Jul 18, 2015 6:04 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Cool..looks like an 8 hour run for the feet and an 8 hour run for the cover and buttons
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 PM - Mike Kelly: wow that's a while, what density?
Jul 18, 2015 6:08 PM - Mike Kelly: *infill
Jul 18, 2015 6:09 PM - Aaron Mitchell: 20%
Jul 18, 2015 6:09 PM - Aaron Mitchell: That overkill?
Jul 18, 2015 6:14 PM - Aaron Mitchell: No difference in time when I switch from 20% to 15% infill...
Jul 18, 2015 6:21 PM - jbigler1986: MK
Jul 18, 2015 6:22 PM - jbigler1986: What speed?
Jul 18, 2015 6:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: 60mm/s
Jul 18, 2015 6:23 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
Jul 18, 2015 6:23 PM - jbigler1986: MK about to wire up everything to the ramps. Got a diagram?
Jul 18, 2015 6:28 PM - jbigler1986: nvm. found one
Jul 18, 2015 6:53 PM - jbigler1986: I get to solder 16 wires tonight. Hell yeah
Jul 18, 2015 6:56 PM - Mike Kelly: my favorite
Jul 18, 2015 6:56 PM - Mike Kelly: 20% is fine
Jul 18, 2015 6:57 PM - jbigler1986: What firmware changes do i need to make
Jul 18, 2015 6:58 PM - Mike Kelly: do what now
Jul 18, 2015 6:58 PM - Mike Kelly: is this for duals?
Jul 18, 2015 6:59 PM - Mike Kelly: brb
Jul 18, 2015 7:10 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah. For dual
Jul 18, 2015 7:18 PM - Mike Glass: time to print a part for the lawnmower
Jul 18, 2015 7:50 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
Jul 18, 2015 7:50 PM - Mike Kelly: jb change mobo to 34
Jul 18, 2015 8:19 PM - jbigler1986: Ok
Jul 18, 2015 8:21 PM - jbigler1986: What else
Jul 18, 2015 8:21 PM - Mike Kelly: change the thermistor from -1 to 5
Jul 18, 2015 8:22 PM - Mike Kelly: http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/Cyclops/Chimera_on_RoBo3D
Jul 18, 2015 8:34 PM - jbigler1986: Just ignore thw cyclops/chimera part
Jul 18, 2015 8:37 PM - Mike Kelly: just use the chimera info
Jul 18, 2015 8:38 PM - jbigler1986: Easy enough
Jul 18, 2015 8:39 PM - jbigler1986: Havent started to actually solder yet. Was my pot tuning right?
Jul 18, 2015 8:46 PM - Mike Kelly: is the motors move and not overheat then yes
Jul 18, 2015 8:48 PM - Mike Glass: hows your trip MK?
Jul 18, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Kelly: oh you know
Jul 18, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Kelly: just hanging out
Jul 18, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Kelly: watched a nova episode about new horizons
Jul 18, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Kelly: was pretty cool
Jul 18, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Kelly: also trying to work on my website
Jul 18, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Glass: from your phone or laptop..lol
Jul 18, 2015 8:51 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i turn it down until it didnt move. Then turned it up a little. It was way to high
Jul 18, 2015 8:51 PM - Mike Kelly: laptop
Jul 18, 2015 8:52 PM - Mike Glass: jb did you post pictures of the carriage yet?

 

Jul 18, 2015 9:12 PM - Mike Glass: man left alone again, time to go try this part
Jul 18, 2015 9:13 PM - Mike Kelly: what are you making
Jul 18, 2015 9:15 PM - Mike Glass: bushing for the steering on the lawnmower. I tried nylon but its to swelled up to fit my hex
Jul 18, 2015 9:15 PM - Mike Kelly: oh gotcha
Jul 18, 2015 9:15 PM - Mike Kelly: abs
Jul 18, 2015 9:15 PM - Mike Glass: yuppers
Jul 18, 2015 9:16 PM - Mike Glass: love my abs, it prints like butter
Jul 18, 2015 9:16 PM - Mike Glass: although I only have 2 rolls of abs, blue and black, 22 rolls of pla..lol
Jul 18, 2015 9:18 PM - Mike Glass: Hatchbox abs blue is my favorite
Jul 18, 2015 9:26 PM - Mike Kelly: heh
Jul 18, 2015 9:28 PM - Mike Kelly: i need to try more hatchbox
Jul 18, 2015 9:30 PM - Mike Glass: I only have a few but seems to be fairly good
Jul 18, 2015 9:32 PM - Mike Glass: only thing I dont like about hatchbox is the spool, when you get towards the ends it really curly because of the narrow size of the spool.
Jul 18, 2015 9:32 PM - Mike Kelly: the prototype supply brand that toybuilderlabs sells is really good
Jul 18, 2015 9:33 PM - Mike Kelly: what's the OD?
Jul 18, 2015 9:34 PM - Mike Glass: around 2.25 inches
Jul 19, 2015 3:14 AM - Austin: Dudes and Dudettes check out my LED MOD http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/smart-led-mod-full-rgb-control-a-must-see.6285/
Jul 19, 2015 3:37 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Very cool, Austin!
Jul 19, 2015 4:26 AM - jbigler1986: Morning guys
Jul 19, 2015 4:52 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Morning, JB
Jul 19, 2015 4:58 AM - jbigler1986: Is it to early to solder? I dont think so
Jul 19, 2015 4:59 AM - Aaron Mitchell: As long as your eyes are open...
Jul 19, 2015 5:09 AM - Bill Monroe: Buenos Dias
Jul 19, 2015 5:10 AM - Aaron Mitchell: G'day
Jul 19, 2015 5:13 AM - Bill Monroe: led mod *yawn*
Jul 19, 2015 5:17 AM - Aaron Mitchell: As an old friend of mine use to say when I asked about pinstriping on his car..."It makes it go faster!"
Jul 19, 2015 5:18 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Speaking of mods...I got the lead screws in yesterday...need to install them today...
Jul 19, 2015 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: get'R done man!
Jul 19, 2015 5:20 AM - Bill Monroe: which ones did you get?
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 AM - Aaron Mitchell: The steppers with lead screw built in...
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 AM - jbigler1986: Stepper, heating element and thermistor soldered. Just need to connect them to the board now
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 AM - Aaron Mitchell: 1600 s/turn
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 AM - Bill Monroe: from Robo? Amazon? Sainsmart?
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 AM - Aaron Mitchell: nice...no cold solders
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 AM - Aaron Mitchell: from Robo, Bill..
Jul 19, 2015 5:25 AM - Aaron Mitchell: The ones Harry sent out...
Jul 19, 2015 5:25 AM - Bill Monroe: okie.. havnt seen what they're offering yet
Jul 19, 2015 5:25 AM - jbigler1986: They look pretty good.
Jul 19, 2015 5:26 AM - Bill Monroe: jb and I did mash-ups.. armature sizes differed. I added a couple of bellvues but not really needed, I'm just anal about such things
Jul 19, 2015 5:26 AM - Aaron Mitchell: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/lead-screw-upgrade-kit.6244/#post-52209
Jul 19, 2015 5:27 AM - Aaron Mitchell: What is a bellvue?
Jul 19, 2015 5:27 AM - Aaron Mitchell: (I'm an electrical/computer engineer ... not mechanical )
Jul 19, 2015 5:28 AM - jbigler1986: Need to do firmware changes so i can tune the 2nd stepper
Jul 19, 2015 5:29 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I have a feeling I know why my y-axis bed rail was cracked upon delivery...
Jul 19, 2015 5:29 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Just watched a video on Robo3D's facebook pages showing them preparing 500 RoboR1's for shipping...they were standing on top of the boxes while they were stacking them...
Jul 19, 2015 5:29 AM - Bill Monroe: hang on a sec
Jul 19, 2015 5:29 AM - jim3Dbot: A wave in awasher to make it mech. sound
Jul 19, 2015 5:30 AM - Aaron Mitchell: My printer was probably the one on the bottom of the stack... :s
Jul 19, 2015 5:31 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-disc-springs/=y4b811
Jul 19, 2015 5:31 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Ahh...ok...
Jul 19, 2015 5:31 AM - Aaron Mitchell: belleville...now I know the purpose of the wavy washers
Jul 19, 2015 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm an automation engineer (some here would say a fake one).. I wade in the mechanical, electrical, and software ponds all at the same time.
Jul 19, 2015 5:34 AM - Aaron Mitchell:

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=799202050137084

Jul 19, 2015 5:34 AM - jim3Dbot: electrical......wade in electronics, float in mechanical & sink in software ponds
Jul 19, 2015 5:35 AM - Bill Monroe: it's a double-edged sword
Jul 19, 2015 5:35 AM - Aaron Mitchell: My degree is in computer engineering (electrical/software), but I run a robotics program and an engineering academy, so I am usually doggy-paddling in mechanical.
Jul 19, 2015 5:36 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Jul 19, 2015 5:36 AM - Bill Monroe: I started doing automation before computers were involved.
Jul 19, 2015 5:37 AM - Bill Monroe: later I watched newbies fail becuase they had the "we'll fix it in software" tool in their back pocket
Jul 19, 2015 5:37 AM - Bill Monroe: they still do that
Jul 19, 2015 5:37 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I find it funny in that video that they grab a ladder after they finished stacking all the boxes...and instead used the boxes as a staircase...
Jul 19, 2015 5:37 AM - jim3Dbot: been there, seen that........bill
Jul 19, 2015 5:39 AM - Aaron Mitchell: so...it looks like robo3d's issues are not in QC but in shipping and receiving...
Jul 19, 2015 5:39 AM - Bill Monroe: then there were the software weenies that blamed problems on the hardware, because they couldnt get the software to work.. especially frustration
Jul 19, 2015 5:40 AM - Bill Monroe: disgusted with that, I went back to school to learn C, then C++
Jul 19, 2015 5:40 AM - Bill Monroe: now, I dont let "software engineers" in my lab
Jul 19, 2015 5:40 AM - jim3Dbot: preachin' to the choir.....
Jul 19, 2015 5:40 AM - Bill Monroe: all is well in the kingdom
Jul 19, 2015 5:41 AM - Bill Monroe: I found a video a few days ago of a machine mod I did in 2000... the good old days in my company
Jul 19, 2015 5:42 AM - jim3Dbot: tried diligently to teach myself C++, for modifing arduino stuff, very modeate success..
Jul 19, 2015 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, arduinos are great fun, a little different then the traditional C++ for machine control.. even the pros stubled a bit when making the transition
Jul 19, 2015 5:43 AM - Bill Monroe: stumble
Jul 19, 2015 5:44 AM - Bill Monroe: people who learn C on arduinos end up mumbling to themselves when they try to C on a real micro or write code for a serious machine
Jul 19, 2015 5:45 AM - Bill Monroe: a Labview compiler made for arduino targets was rolled-out recently.. very promising
Jul 19, 2015 5:46 AM - jim3Dbot: I pretty much used their libraries, patched & mod'ed until I got it to work. Code never streamlined, heavy but worked...can't think like a software dude....
Jul 19, 2015 5:47 AM - Bill Monroe: harware vs software thinking is like like jumping from an I7 to a VIC-20.. dont think, just do
Jul 19, 2015 5:47 AM - jim3Dbot: Used to use Labview many years ago when I was designing dedicated test fixtures....virtual oscilloscopes, DVMs, etc....
Jul 19, 2015 5:48 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, the early days of Labview.. it's a full-blown automation foundation now..
Jul 19, 2015 5:49 AM - jim3Dbot: some day may chk-out.........post commodore days....
Jul 19, 2015 5:49 AM - Bill Monroe: those were good days
Jul 19, 2015 5:50 AM - Bill Monroe: before jb was born
Jul 19, 2015 5:51 AM - jim3Dbot: 2 x JV + sum......
Jul 19, 2015 5:52 AM - jim3Dbot: JB
Jul 19, 2015 5:52 AM - Bill Monroe: they released the compiler with a white paper that shows how to incorporate existing libraries into their system.. significantly expanding it's versatility.. you have to have a good foundation in C to use it but that *really* is a great feature
Jul 19, 2015 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: you can use the same techniques to incorporate any language that will run on the arduino
Jul 19, 2015 5:53 AM - Bill Monroe: and it works on other Labview platforms too.. NI is busy now writing similar white papers
Jul 19, 2015 5:55 AM - jim3Dbot: Wish I had more time, learnin' 3D, last few months, anal 'bout what I learn....will get too wrapped right now........Bought Robo for new crowd funding idea, instant prototyping was the rational.....
Jul 19, 2015 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: my son used it to pipe nexflix onto a tiny screen shield running on an Uno
Jul 19, 2015 5:55 AM - Bill Monroe: err netflix
Jul 19, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: i've never seen a truly successful crowd funded product
Jul 19, 2015 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: Whats up jim
Jul 19, 2015 5:57 AM - jim3Dbot: Got an uno......designed the 'musical squares' special needs toy for TFH around an UNO with a wave shield & SD card.....hundreds of sounds loaded...
Jul 19, 2015 5:57 AM - Bill Monroe: people with optomism, excitement, and intelligence.. zero expereince
Jul 19, 2015 5:58 AM - Bill Monroe: nice
Jul 19, 2015 5:59 AM - Bill Monroe: my son has an N guage train layout.. want to make a tiny drive-in theater for it..
Jul 19, 2015 5:59 AM - jim3Dbot: mornin' JB used your age to describe mine.......keep up the excellent drive you have.....
Jul 19, 2015 6:00 AM - jim3Dbot: Yep, the money goes to product development, gifts?, but gets u kickstarted.....
Jul 19, 2015 6:03 AM - Bill Monroe: there was a kickstarter awhile back to make engines for Model As
Jul 19, 2015 6:04 AM - jim3Dbot: really?
Jul 19, 2015 6:05 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, really. Identical appearence as the original, same basic operation (soo it would sound the same and all) but all aluminum, modern valves, valve seats, etc...

 

Jul 19, 2015 6:06 AM - jim3Dbot: make any? for sell...
Jul 19, 2015 6:06 AM - Bill Monroe: looked kinda like a stripped-down toyota 8R with a flat head
Jul 19, 2015 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: they made a few, but then the typical crowd fund darths rear it's head
Jul 19, 2015 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: reared
Jul 19, 2015 6:08 AM - jim3Dbot: not enuf jack rec'ed to cover costs 4 sure....
Jul 19, 2015 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: since they were mostly engine designers and Old Ford enthusiasts, they didnt know they needed someone that was expereinced in rolling out such a thing
Jul 19, 2015 6:08 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, I drove one with the engine in it.. all I though it needed was to be painted black
Jul 19, 2015 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: but, they hadnt considered that, the feds saw it as a new engine (which was atypcially logical for the feds)
Jul 19, 2015 6:09 AM - jim3Dbot: yep, u need manufacturing experience, even light manu....
Jul 19, 2015 6:09 AM - Bill Monroe: which meant it had to pass ALL the requirements of a car made in 2014
Jul 19, 2015 6:10 AM - Bill Monroe: the project was doomed from day 0
Jul 19, 2015 6:10 AM - jim3Dbot: old good technology meets new emissions tech....recipe 4 failure
Jul 19, 2015 6:11 AM - Bill Monroe: it had better emissions than the original, but that was due to using modern fuel
Jul 19, 2015 6:11 AM - donhuevo: morning
Jul 19, 2015 6:11 AM - Bill Monroe: and not good enough for 2014
Jul 19, 2015 6:11 AM - Bill Monroe: don
Jul 19, 2015 6:12 AM - donhuevo: hey bill
Jul 19, 2015 6:12 AM - jim3Dbot: mornin' don
Jul 19, 2015 6:13 AM - Bill Monroe: anyway.. not the right people for success
Jul 19, 2015 6:13 AM - donhuevo: morning jim. glad to see you survived the grasscutting
Jul 19, 2015 6:13 AM - Bill Monroe: a common, very common crowd funded trait
Jul 19, 2015 6:14 AM - jim3Dbot: mine, daughters, neighbors lakefront......thank god for old cub cadets
Jul 19, 2015 6:14 AM - donhuevo: shaping up to be brutal again
Jul 19, 2015 6:14 AM - Bill Monroe: <-- Ariens man
Jul 19, 2015 6:15 AM - jim3Dbot: the lake has a balmy 90 degree humid breeze conin' from the west.......
Jul 19, 2015 6:16 AM - donhuevo: what was the overnight low? 85?
Jul 19, 2015 6:16 AM - jim3Dbot: got up to 75 at 6:00
Jul 19, 2015 6:16 AM - Bill Monroe: ugh
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - donhuevo: sorry to hijack your conversation
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - Bill Monroe: sounds like PA
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - donhuevo: as you were gentleman
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - jim3Dbot: 5k btu window ac cryin' 'no mas'
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: morning don
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - donhuevo: hey jb
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - donhuevo: hoping for pics this morning and didn't find any
Jul 19, 2015 6:17 AM - jbigler1986: didn't solder until this morning
Jul 19, 2015 6:18 AM - Bill Monroe: we had Tstorm yesterday pushed here by a mexican hurricane.. today, blue sky as far as you can see
Jul 19, 2015 6:18 AM - jim3Dbot: did'nt u have 4 of 16 done last nite?
Jul 19, 2015 6:18 AM - jbigler1986: nope. didn't do any
Jul 19, 2015 6:18 AM - jim3Dbot: oh
Jul 19, 2015 6:19 AM - donhuevo: did you get it all printed?
Jul 19, 2015 6:20 AM - jbigler1986: no. been apart since i stopped it yesterday to tune the stepper. figured i would go ahead and wire up everything
Jul 19, 2015 6:22 AM - donhuevo: damnit
Jul 19, 2015 6:22 AM - donhuevo: ok
Jul 19, 2015 6:22 AM - jbigler1986: slacking
Jul 19, 2015 6:22 AM - jim3Dbot: u need to sleep less, like maybe 4 hrs instead of 5
Jul 19, 2015 6:22 AM - donhuevo: and every other day maybe
Jul 19, 2015 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: i get 5 hours every night
Jul 19, 2015 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: no more than that
Jul 19, 2015 6:24 AM - jim3Dbot: seen that earlier, thats tough...
Jul 19, 2015 6:24 AM - jbigler1986: you get use to it
Jul 19, 2015 6:25 AM - jim3Dbot: 6-7 then fall out of bed, crawl to the coffee...then wake-up....
Jul 19, 2015 6:26 AM - jim3Dbot: unless you 'party down south' then crawl to the suds.....
Jul 19, 2015 6:26 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I have sleep apnea...I'm lucky to get a few hours...
Jul 19, 2015 6:27 AM - jim3Dbot: extreme bummer........try a mask?
Jul 19, 2015 6:28 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I have a sleep study in two weeks, then I should get a c-pap afterwards to help
Jul 19, 2015 6:28 AM - jim3Dbot: good luck...seriously
Jul 19, 2015 6:28 AM - Aaron Mitchell: started back in April...haven't slept in four months...but MAN! I am getting stuff done!
Jul 19, 2015 6:29 AM - jim3Dbot: do u remember doin' it....
Jul 19, 2015 6:30 AM - Bill Monroe: hmm I wonder if being robo-centric is a result of apnea or a cause?
Jul 19, 2015 6:31 AM - jim3Dbot: Time for breakfast......like the movie, 'breakfast at stiff n knees'
Jul 19, 2015 6:31 AM - Bill Monroe: i think I'll get a kickstarter to fund a study
Jul 19, 2015 6:49 AM - jim3Dbot: Question, z axis length easy mod, but don't need anymore height.....guessin' 'Y' would be easier then 'X' travel extension. Both would require complete undercarrage & rail swap...anyone have any thoughts, or did anyone accomplish yet?
Jul 19, 2015 6:50 AM - donhuevo: the robo with the huge z extension was just mentioned here over the last week
Jul 19, 2015 6:51 AM - jim3Dbot: Yeah, seen it beast...like to have longer x or y
Jul 19, 2015 6:51 AM - donhuevo: x & y would both be ugly mods.
Jul 19, 2015 6:51 AM - jim3Dbot: agree, but
Jul 19, 2015 6:52 AM - donhuevo: y would mean new heater, glass etc
Jul 19, 2015 6:52 AM - jim3Dbot: so would x
Jul 19, 2015 6:52 AM - donhuevo: x would mean new baseplate
Jul 19, 2015 6:52 AM - donhuevo: true
Jul 19, 2015 6:53 AM - jim3Dbot: yep, that has to be the next project thinkin' Y, after kickstater failure.....
Jul 19, 2015 6:54 AM - jim3Dbot: like to keep the case, lose some height maybe to beefy new undercarrage & bed
Jul 19, 2015 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: I went throught that whole thought process too.. resoved just to make a new machine
Jul 19, 2015 6:55 AM - donhuevo: same here
Jul 19, 2015 6:55 AM - jim3Dbot: you r probably correct
Jul 19, 2015 6:56 AM - donhuevo: but at the same time, I can't leave the robo alone
Jul 19, 2015 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: you dont have to
Jul 19, 2015 6:57 AM - jim3Dbot: like the stock looks, but I need more than the optimistic 10 it has....
Jul 19, 2015 6:57 AM - Bill Monroe: i think I had something break on my Y overnight.. gunna have to tear in to it
Jul 19, 2015 6:57 AM - donhuevo: oh no
Jul 19, 2015 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, some evidence on the print.. making new noises, etc..
Jul 19, 2015 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: that's the one place I've not delved in to
Jul 19, 2015 6:59 AM - donhuevo: how the bed got wired was a pretty volatile spot in the robo's progression. Not sure what you have
Jul 19, 2015 7:00 AM - Bill Monroe: R1 12/2014 OEM with 8mm allthread, big-ol black ribbon cable
Jul 19, 2015 7:00 AM - jim3Dbot: I unmade the bed off early in the game.....the heater was off the silk & travel....moved the y limit seitch back to center up...I was printing a 9" y length piece. it kept warping on the far end...looked at underneath..seen heater wrong location.....Used IR gun and believe me 15degree difference in the overhang...
Jul 19, 2015 7:02 AM - jim3Dbot: yes, the part printed fine each time after that......QC?
Jul 19, 2015 7:02 AM - donhuevo: the ribbon cable was the latest
Jul 19, 2015 7:02 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, moving Y beds are generally POS but I dont have time to make it right today
Jul 19, 2015 7:03 AM - donhuevo: I ended up making my own solution for it
Jul 19, 2015 7:03 AM - jim3Dbot: I heard others complain 'bout silk off, I drilled 2 holes & shifted Y limit back...worked.
Jul 19, 2015 7:04 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah i cant leave the robo alone either
Jul 19, 2015 7:04 AM - jim3Dbot: Really the problem is they mount the heat pad wrong...
Jul 19, 2015 7:06 AM - jim3Dbot: jb, cannot wait to see your dual bow's, balanced on the sides....
Jul 19, 2015 7:07 AM - jbigler1986: It will look pretty nice once finished. Should be by the end of the day
Jul 19, 2015 7:08 AM - jim3Dbot: learnin' alot from this forum...keep modin'
Jul 19, 2015 7:09 AM - donhuevo: aren't you getting dangerously close to Miami Dolphins colors?
Jul 19, 2015 7:09 AM - jim3Dbot: Oh shula daze
Jul 19, 2015 7:09 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah. Trial and error. Before the robo i didnt know jack about 3d printing
Jul 19, 2015 7:10 AM - jbigler1986: Or cnc in general for the most part

 

Jul 19, 2015 7:11 AM - jim3Dbot: impressed, kinda sorry robo had a case, now its too cool to toss it...
Jul 19, 2015 7:12 AM - jbigler1986: I took machine trades tool and die in highschool for a year. That was just basic lathe for the first year. Forgot most of that stuff anyways.
Jul 19, 2015 7:12 AM - jim3Dbot: if u had to do over again....how different.....
Jul 19, 2015 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: i'll bet you remember more than you think
Jul 19, 2015 7:12 AM - jbigler1986: 2nd year would have been running cnc machines and mills. I moved after the first year
Jul 19, 2015 7:13 AM - jim3Dbot: major bummer...
Jul 19, 2015 7:14 AM - jbigler1986: 3 of my really close friends stuck with it and went to college for it. I was on my way to a full ride baseball scholarship until i tore my bicep. Wish i went back to tool and die.
Jul 19, 2015 7:15 AM - jim3Dbot: The 1st thing I bought on ebay maybe 8 years ago was an CNC, very heavy duty, big rails..leads..... still in storage...never used......a few K at the time...robo revived the interst, should pull out soon...
Jul 19, 2015 7:17 AM - jim3Dbot: I knew I guy that had the same exact problem, baseball career, never happened, pitcher....
Jul 19, 2015 7:23 AM - jbigler1986: What uses D09 stock?
Jul 19, 2015 7:24 AM - jbigler1986: parts fan?
Jul 19, 2015 7:25 AM - jim3Dbot: could you comment it out & see what don't work.....easier if someone knows
Jul 19, 2015 7:26 AM - jbigler1986: that's where i need to hook up 2nd heater cartidge
Jul 19, 2015 7:26 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 7:27 AM - jbigler1986: hmmm
Jul 19, 2015 7:28 AM - donhuevo: that's why the fan extender
Jul 19, 2015 7:28 AM - jim3Dbot: Oh I get it, fans don't draw much current, could you parrallel the wires from D9?
Jul 19, 2015 7:28 AM - donhuevo: it gives you somewhere else to connect the parts fan to
Jul 19, 2015 7:29 AM - donhuevo: you wouldn't want the fan to run only when that extruder is heating
Jul 19, 2015 7:29 AM - jbigler1986: ^
Jul 19, 2015 7:29 AM - daniel871: Yeah, I have the fan extender coming. Just need to get the firmware and wiring right it my head before I do it.
Jul 19, 2015 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: need to find motherboard 34 config
Jul 19, 2015 7:31 AM - jbigler1986: that's for 33
Jul 19, 2015 7:31 AM - daniel871: Material question: what is a good support distance value in S3D for PET+? Was using the default values for MK's swivel mount foot and it is basically a solid block because I cant pull the support out with pliers.
Jul 19, 2015 7:33 AM - daniel871: Talking about the separation distance, not the support percentage.
Jul 19, 2015 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: ok. motherboard 34 turns D4 into the parts fan
Jul 19, 2015 7:37 AM - jbigler1986: Could just wire in a switch to turn them on after first layer
Jul 19, 2015 7:38 AM - donhuevo: really?
Jul 19, 2015 7:38 AM - donhuevo: all this work and now you want to 'rig' it
Jul 19, 2015 7:38 AM - donhuevo: for shame jb
Jul 19, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: Or build a fan extender
Jul 19, 2015 7:39 AM - jbigler1986: Saw one the other day. Let me try and find it again.
Jul 19, 2015 7:39 AM - donhuevo: if only you could buy one for like $8
Jul 19, 2015 7:39 AM - jbigler1986: Yeah but its one business day. Not fast enough. Lol
Jul 19, 2015 7:39 AM - donhuevo: http://www.amazon.com/RioRand-1-4-R...d=1437316925&sr=8-1&keywords=rrd+fan+extender
Jul 19, 2015 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: that's the Geeethech product.. POS.. half of their stuff fails out of the box
Jul 19, 2015 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: better to learn how to use a MOSFET
Jul 19, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:723781
Jul 19, 2015 7:42 AM - Bill Monroe: there ya go
Jul 19, 2015 7:42 AM - Bill Monroe: learn how to do that and you have the world by the testicles
Jul 19, 2015 7:44 AM - Bill Monroe: good gawd, I can almost see my desk
Jul 19, 2015 7:45 AM - jbigler1986: Screw it. Wire in a switch til i get the extender. To lazy to build that right now.
Jul 19, 2015 7:45 AM - donhuevo: at least amazon is backing it
Jul 19, 2015 7:45 AM - Aaron Mitchell: New project for you, JB: http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-A-Fusion-Reactor/
Jul 19, 2015 7:46 AM - Mike Glass: Morning
Jul 19, 2015 7:46 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Morning, MG
Jul 19, 2015 7:47 AM - jbigler1986: Seems safe
Jul 19, 2015 7:47 AM - Mike Glass: Jb you have pictures yet
Jul 19, 2015 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: Of my printer torn apart? Lol
Jul 19, 2015 7:48 AM - Mike Glass: Don is my car done..lol
Jul 19, 2015 7:49 AM - donhuevo: i asked the same thing... morning Mike and no, the car is still in the shop
Jul 19, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Glass: The carriage Jb
Jul 19, 2015 7:50 AM - Mike Glass: Funny I can buy spare parts for my lawnmower on amazon.
Jul 19, 2015 7:50 AM - jbigler1986: Stopped it yesterday. Stepper was skipping bc voltage was to high. So i adjusted that and been wiring up 2nd extruder since
Jul 19, 2015 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: MG
Jul 19, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Glass: BM I saw that fire in cali, looked pretty bad
Jul 19, 2015 7:52 AM - Bill Monroe: the one were with the mega Car-B-Q?
Jul 19, 2015 7:52 AM - Bill Monroe: see, we have so many this time of year
Jul 19, 2015 7:53 AM - Mike Glass: Yea the hoghway to Vegas right
Jul 19, 2015 7:54 AM - Bill Monroe: eventually, it was actually in the Cajon Pass before the 395-I15 split. basically the main N-S artery going up the east side of the state
Jul 19, 2015 7:54 AM - Aaron Mitchell: You guys ever work with this PET material? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZAUR6M0
Jul 19, 2015 7:54 AM - Bill Monroe: that's just a nasty area in general, stppe grade with few exits, deep canyons, howling winds...
Jul 19, 2015 7:55 AM - Bill Monroe: steep
Jul 19, 2015 7:56 AM - Mike Glass: I haven't yet Aaron, some have it nice stuff from what I heard
Jul 19, 2015 7:57 AM - Mike Glass: Its on my list, but not till I go to a ed3
Jul 19, 2015 7:57 AM - Bill Monroe: same here never tired any eSun but some said it's good
Jul 19, 2015 7:58 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Extrusion Temperature Range: 235℃ to 255℃ Plate temperature: 80~90℃ or without heated
Jul 19, 2015 7:58 AM - Aaron Mitchell: What is the limit on Robo's bed?
Jul 19, 2015 7:58 AM - Bill Monroe: honestly though, since I went E3D everything seems to work fine
Jul 19, 2015 7:59 AM - Bill Monroe: PET is usually fine at 260-270 and 60-80
Jul 19, 2015 8:00 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bills-lab
Jul 19, 2015 8:01 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I have to watch the Pringles drum battle first, Bill... :0
Jul 19, 2015 8:01 AM - Bill Monroe: heh i totally understand
Jul 19, 2015 8:03 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Looks like wood, Bill...
Jul 19, 2015 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: Hatchbox Gold
Jul 19, 2015 8:04 AM - Aaron Mitchell: nice...
Jul 19, 2015 8:04 AM - jbigler1986: Switch is wired
Jul 19, 2015 8:05 AM - Aaron Mitchell: What speed is that running at, Bill?
Jul 19, 2015 8:06 AM - Bill Monroe: 100 mm/s - 500 mm/s/s acceleration
Jul 19, 2015 8:06 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Panic Button, JB?
Jul 19, 2015 8:06 AM - Aaron Mitchell: wow...nice...
Jul 19, 2015 8:07 AM - Bill Monroe: it'll go faster, but if a crumb drops on it I'm not fast enough to brush it away before the carriage bites me
Jul 19, 2015 8:07 AM - Aaron Mitchell: once I get my new steppers w/lead screws installed, I am going to do some test prints to see how much faster I can get this to print...been sticking to 60mm/s until I get some of my necessary prints out of the way...
Jul 19, 2015 8:08 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Do you heat the extruder a bit more when printing at higher speeds?
Jul 19, 2015 8:09 AM - Aaron Mitchell: ...or raise the height of the print head slightly?
Jul 19, 2015 8:09 AM - Bill Monroe: as my favorite Clint Eastwood once said "A man's got to know his (3D printer's) limitations"
Jul 19, 2015 8:09 AM - Bill Monroe: no change in temp or height
Jul 19, 2015 8:09 AM - Bill Monroe: you have an LDC panel on it now?
Jul 19, 2015 8:09 AM - Bill Monroe: err LCD
Jul 19, 2015 8:10 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Printing MK's LCD cover and feet, then I will get the panel on...
Jul 19, 2015 8:10 AM - Bill Monroe: ok.. once those are on, ratchet the speed up with the knob in increments until you hit the pain point
Jul 19, 2015 8:11 AM - Aaron Mitchell: hehe...
Jul 19, 2015 8:11 AM - Bill Monroe: then, you'll know what to put into the slicer
Jul 19, 2015 8:11 AM - Bill Monroe: the heavy motor on the head is one factor.. accleration value is another
Jul 19, 2015 8:11 AM - Aaron Mitchell: ok...will definitely try it out...I will need to remove that knob when I am done...I have the nasty habit of bumping into things and screwing it up...;
Jul 19, 2015 8:12 AM - Bill Monroe: whatever makes you happy
Jul 19, 2015 8:12 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I can just see myself reaching across the desk for something and hitting that knob...
Jul 19, 2015 8:12 AM - Bill Monroe: actually, it probably wouldnt hurt anything really
Jul 19, 2015 8:13 AM - Bill Monroe: usually takes more that a bump or two to make something happen
Jul 19, 2015 8:13 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Yeah, except I will be in the middle of a twelve hour print and hose it up

 

Jul 19, 2015 8:13 AM - Aaron Mitchell: that's just the type of lucky guy I am
Jul 19, 2015 8:13 AM - Bill Monroe: you working with jb again?
Jul 19, 2015 8:13 AM - Bill Monroe: < jb poke>
Jul 19, 2015 8:14 AM - Aaron Mitchell: heh...no...need to check on him though...he has been breathing flux fumes for a couple hours now
Jul 19, 2015 8:14 AM - Bill Monroe: I thought his eyes looked a little spooky....
Jul 19, 2015 8:16 AM - Aaron Mitchell: afk
Jul 19, 2015 8:18 AM - Bill Monroe: ive got this robotic gripper that doesnt have a purpose... wonder what I could use it for if I installed in on my new machine?
Jul 19, 2015 8:23 AM - Aaron Mitchell: On a 3d printer?
Jul 19, 2015 8:24 AM - donhuevo: for slapping your finished parts off the bed
Jul 19, 2015 8:25 AM - daniel871: I do PET at 240 and 75 on my volcano e3d.
Jul 19, 2015 8:25 AM - daniel871: Doing some spare zebra plate clips right now.
Jul 19, 2015 8:26 AM - Bill Monroe: well, this could gently pick them up and put them down elsewhere, even in a neatly arraged grid pattern
Jul 19, 2015 8:26 AM - Aaron Mitchell: You like the PET material Daniel?
Jul 19, 2015 8:27 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Have it hold an Exacto blade, Bill...them you can cut vinyl
Jul 19, 2015 8:27 AM - Bill Monroe: hey, now we're thinking
Jul 19, 2015 8:28 AM - Bill Monroe: wait, I have a roland cutter already.....
Jul 19, 2015 8:29 AM - donhuevo: I had a Roland Super JX10 once
Jul 19, 2015 8:29 AM - Bill Monroe: nice?
Jul 19, 2015 8:29 AM - Bill Monroe: i cant recall mine's number.. hang on a sec
Jul 19, 2015 8:30 AM - Mike Glass: I have a roland cutter end for my cnc, need to make a mount for it.
Jul 19, 2015 8:31 AM - donhuevo:
Jul 19, 2015 8:31 AM - Bill Monroe: GS-24
Jul 19, 2015 8:42 AM - jbigler1986: ugh. error maxtemp. reads at 739 degrees. lol
Jul 19, 2015 8:43 AM - Bill Monroe: don, as my chinese freind would say: you fungi
Jul 19, 2015 8:44 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 8:47 AM - jbigler1986: got it
Jul 19, 2015 8:50 AM - donhuevo: I was in an 80's band
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 AM - jbigler1986: 2ND stepper moves. 2nd hotend heats up and reads temp.
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 AM - donhuevo: yay!
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 AM - jbigler1986: time to put it back together and print the carriage
Jul 19, 2015 8:55 AM - jbigler1986: just gonna gangsta zip tie it to the top of the case during the print. lol
Jul 19, 2015 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: Mornin
Jul 19, 2015 9:02 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Morning, MK
Jul 19, 2015 9:02 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Printing your LCD cover now...feet tonight...
Jul 19, 2015 9:02 AM - Aaron Mitchell: I'll get the LCD installed before I go to bed...and work on the steppers tomorrow...
Jul 19, 2015 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: Afternoon MK.
Jul 19, 2015 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: sweet
Jul 19, 2015 9:08 AM - jbigler1986: 2nd extruder is wired and works. Need to print the carriage now
Jul 19, 2015 9:08 AM - Aaron Mitchell: JB...that display has room for a third extruder...when are you installing it?"
Jul 19, 2015 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: awesome
Jul 19, 2015 9:13 AM - jbigler1986: Never. 2 will be enough of a headache
Jul 19, 2015 9:16 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Famous last words
Jul 19, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: get that diamond hot end
Jul 19, 2015 9:16 AM - Mike Kelly: then put it on your tiko
Jul 19, 2015 9:21 AM - jbigler1986: Is that ur plan?
Jul 19, 2015 9:22 AM - Mike Kelly: lol
Jul 19, 2015 9:28 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Wish I knew about the Tiko when it came out on KS...first ones went for $99....
Jul 19, 2015 9:29 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Would be a good demo machine for my classroom...
Jul 19, 2015 9:30 AM - Mike Kelly: a good paper weight at least
Jul 19, 2015 9:30 AM - donhuevo: hey now... we don't know that yet
Jul 19, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: don is 100% vested in Tiko
Jul 19, 2015 9:31 AM - donhuevo: I have high hopes
Jul 19, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: haha
Jul 19, 2015 9:31 AM - Mike Glass: don I tried the step file didnt work though
Jul 19, 2015 9:32 AM - donhuevo: damnit
Jul 19, 2015 9:32 AM - donhuevo: can I slice and dice it for you?
Jul 19, 2015 9:32 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah we don't know if they'll actually ship printers and not pull a makibox
Jul 19, 2015 9:36 AM - Mike Glass: can you export to dxf and see if that works.
Jul 19, 2015 9:37 AM - daniel871: What about the Micro M3D. Think that'll pan out?
Jul 19, 2015 9:37 AM - Mike Glass: or is that a 2d file?
Jul 19, 2015 9:38 AM - daniel871: DXF is 2D
Jul 19, 2015 9:38 AM - Mike Glass: thats what I thought, hmm dammit don get solidworks..lol
Jul 19, 2015 9:38 AM - daniel871: Never received a 3d dxf anyway.
Jul 19, 2015 9:39 AM - donhuevo: I have an old copy but I'd be in the same boat trying to get my dwg into it
Jul 19, 2015 9:41 AM - Mike Glass: Here is the hybrid hotend quick release.
Jul 19, 2015 9:41 AM - donhuevo: I also just sliced it to see the thread profile and it's effed up
Jul 19, 2015 9:42 AM - donhuevo: I have some cleaning up to do. I'll have something for you soon
Jul 19, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: nice mike
Jul 19, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Kelly: the M3D is already out?
Jul 19, 2015 9:43 AM - Mike Glass: no hurry, I still have to get a v6 for the car.
Jul 19, 2015 9:44 AM - Mike Glass: Mike, I would need longer screws for this to work I think right?
Jul 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: yes
Jul 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: 25mm
Jul 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: harry was saying something about needing a new greg's wade body, not sure what he meant
Jul 19, 2015 9:45 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Looks like the M3D is available now
Jul 19, 2015 9:46 AM - Mike Glass: I will see if I have any and give it a whirl
Jul 19, 2015 9:48 AM - Mike Kelly: ace is the place!
Jul 19, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: ugh i don't wanna drive
Jul 19, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: it's 2015, why don't we have teleportation yet!
Jul 19, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Kelly: c'mon neil degrasse tyson
Jul 19, 2015 9:51 AM - Mike Glass: whats wrong with flying
Jul 19, 2015 9:52 AM - Mike Glass: borrow the ceo's jet
Jul 19, 2015 9:52 AM - Aaron Mitchell: super glue to the rescue
Jul 19, 2015 9:53 AM - Mike Glass: Aaron we use hot glue only..lol
Jul 19, 2015 9:54 AM - Aaron Mitchell: gah...
Jul 19, 2015 9:57 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: Nice find at frys
Jul 19, 2015 10:00 AM - Mike Glass: how much?
Jul 19, 2015 10:04 AM - jbigler1986: $4
Jul 19, 2015 10:04 AM - daniel871: Because teleportation is a fax machine that shreds the original.
Jul 19, 2015 10:07 AM - jbigler1986: Gonna replace the original extruder driver bc the new ones sound so much better
Jul 19, 2015 10:43 AM - donhuevo: http://www.oddhobs.com/mg/
Jul 19, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Glass: well its going through the reconize features so this might work, what did you do?
Jul 19, 2015 10:50 AM - donhuevo: I fixed the threads
Jul 19, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Glass: oh thats what was holding it up, it didnt say what the issue was in SW
Jul 19, 2015 10:51 AM - donhuevo: just a guess but good chance
Jul 19, 2015 10:58 AM - Mike Glass: well everything works except the hole for the hotend.
Jul 19, 2015 11:02 AM - donhuevo: the bottom hole or the top?
Jul 19, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Glass: I see the threads, no hole on the bottom
Jul 19, 2015 11:03 AM - donhuevo: 11.5 radius for the bottom

 

Jul 19, 2015 11:04 AM - Mike Glass: yep, I see the line properties but just doesnt want to revolve.
Jul 19, 2015 11:05 AM - donhuevo: just the last 2.5mm is 11.5 r the rest is 13.25
Jul 19, 2015 11:09 AM - Mike Glass: error: it would reslut in zero-thickness geometry
Jul 19, 2015 11:09 AM - Mike Glass: duh its a cut
Jul 19, 2015 11:14 AM - Mike Glass: I can go as far as 290 degrees and then it gives that error. hmm
Jul 19, 2015 11:16 AM - donhuevo: I can't picture what's going on
Jul 19, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: I can slice mine take a pic and post
Jul 19, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Glass: Its just the hole at this point no biggy, maybe its not centered.
Jul 19, 2015 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: wierd it is using a line for the revolve that does not exist.
Jul 19, 2015 11:20 AM - donhuevo:
Jul 19, 2015 11:26 AM - jbigler1986: Had to pause on putting the robo back together for a few
Jul 19, 2015 11:26 AM - Mike Glass: ok it was another extrude that I had to push down a little further, worky now
Jul 19, 2015 11:27 AM - donhuevo: alrighty
Jul 19, 2015 11:28 AM - Mike Glass: not sure I will be able to move the hole back though
Jul 19, 2015 11:29 AM - donhuevo: which hole?
Jul 19, 2015 11:29 AM - Mike Glass: the hotend
Jul 19, 2015 11:30 AM - donhuevo: that would be a complicated one to move
Jul 19, 2015 11:31 AM - Mike Glass: its not a reconized feature so nope.
Jul 19, 2015 11:31 AM - donhuevo: it has dicts coming off it in all different directions
Jul 19, 2015 11:35 AM - Mike Glass: where did you put the light at for the hotend
Jul 19, 2015 11:36 AM - donhuevo:
Jul 19, 2015 1:02 PM - Bill Monroe: very creative, Don
Jul 19, 2015 1:03 PM - donhuevo: thank you bill. still very much a work in progress
Jul 19, 2015 1:10 PM - jbigler1986: Put a new driver for both extruders. Sounds so smooth
Jul 19, 2015 1:11 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 1:12 PM - Mike Glass: Hey don what size fan for the cooling fan for the hotend are you using 25mm?
Jul 19, 2015 1:12 PM - jbigler1986: Need to remove the damn sd card wiring
Jul 19, 2015 1:12 PM - donhuevo: using a 30
Jul 19, 2015 1:12 PM - donhuevo: Can't tell you how many times I've heard my dict is slightly undersized
Jul 19, 2015 1:12 PM - Mike Glass: Yea I yanked that out when I put in my lcd
Jul 19, 2015 1:12 PM - donhuevo: go ahead... get it out
Jul 19, 2015 1:13 PM - donhuevo:
Jul 19, 2015 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: Dont you like to leave it in
Jul 19, 2015 1:13 PM - Mike Glass: hmm do you think a 25mm would work?
Jul 19, 2015 1:14 PM - donhuevo: don't know
Jul 19, 2015 1:14 PM - donhuevo: maybe? might show signs of failing for higher temp prints?
Jul 19, 2015 1:14 PM - jbigler1986: V6 uses 30. Heatsink is larger
Jul 19, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: do you have a cad file for that?
Jul 19, 2015 1:15 PM - donhuevo: cad file for what?
Jul 19, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Glass: the 30mm fan
Jul 19, 2015 1:16 PM - donhuevo: no. I just approximate it with a 30x30x7 box with a 28mm cylinder taken out of the middle
Jul 19, 2015 1:30 PM - Mike Glass: almost done.
Jul 19, 2015 1:32 PM - donhuevo: cool!
Jul 19, 2015 2:02 PM - donhuevo: and speaking of cars... I thought I could pull off a Morganesque carriage (don't know what I was thinking)...
Jul 19, 2015 2:02 PM - Mike Glass: lol
Jul 19, 2015 2:57 PM - Bill Monroe: the Morgan my dad had, had a V-Twin on the front
Jul 19, 2015 3:00 PM - donhuevo: it's a beautiful car. shame I couldn't do it justice
Jul 19, 2015 3:21 PM - jbigler1986: 2nd v6 is ghetto zip tied to my wiring right now. Lol
Jul 19, 2015 3:23 PM - jim3Dbot: Would that be a ghetto ty wrapper
Jul 19, 2015 3:23 PM - Austin: ghetto zipties always work out better than expected
Jul 19, 2015 3:24 PM - Austin: and they are so underappreciated :< poor guys
Jul 19, 2015 3:26 PM - Austin: ive ziptied a bumper back on a car before. held for the rest of the life on the car
Jul 19, 2015 3:26 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 3:26 PM - Bradf80: What do you guys think of my enclosure? lmao
Jul 19, 2015 3:27 PM - jim3Dbot: I zip tied my cub cadet deck after wheel weld broke....still going after 2 seasons...
Jul 19, 2015 3:27 PM - Austin: niceeeeee enclosure!
Jul 19, 2015 3:28 PM - Bradf80: I used a PC fan and wired it to a 12volt power adapter so it has it's own power. Has a quick disconnect for the hose and vents out a window
Jul 19, 2015 3:28 PM - jim3Dbot: PVC pretty view completly
Jul 19, 2015 3:29 PM - jim3Dbot: completely?
Jul 19, 2015 3:29 PM - Bradf80: yeah completely enclosed
Jul 19, 2015 3:29 PM - Austin: looks like your r1 is under quarantine haha
Jul 19, 2015 3:30 PM - Austin: make sure your wearing your hazmat suit
Jul 19, 2015 3:30 PM - Bradf80: yeah lol wife was getting angry with ABS smells so it was either the Robo goes, I go, or I quarantine it
Jul 19, 2015 3:31 PM - Austin: hahaha i know that too well! good job! excellent solution!
Jul 19, 2015 3:32 PM - jim3Dbot: is that the dict going out the left?
Jul 19, 2015 3:32 PM - Bradf80: yep
Jul 19, 2015 3:33 PM - jim3Dbot: well now your wife is happy the dict left te building...
Jul 19, 2015 3:33 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 3:33 PM - Bradf80: haha
Jul 19, 2015 3:33 PM - Bradf80: That's a quick disconnect to remove it.
Jul 19, 2015 3:34 PM - jim3Dbot: excellente'
Jul 19, 2015 3:34 PM - Mike Glass: I dont smell the abs unless my head is in the printer, and I dont have a huge office.
Jul 19, 2015 3:35 PM - Mike Glass: I know some brands are "smellier" then others.
Jul 19, 2015 3:36 PM - jim3Dbot: I am stayin' away from ABS cause of the feedback i am hearin', hav 2 rolls, leary to use...
Jul 19, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Glass: Abs is the best stuff really.
Jul 19, 2015 3:37 PM - Mike Glass: Prints like butter
Jul 19, 2015 3:38 PM - jim3Dbot: I hear stories that you need to vent like brad, that exagerated?
Jul 19, 2015 3:38 PM - Mike Glass: I run it all the time in my office.
Jul 19, 2015 3:39 PM - jim3Dbot: I'm sure you vapored it, work good for you?
Jul 19, 2015 3:40 PM - Mike Glass: no venting
Jul 19, 2015 3:40 PM - jbigler1986: Prints great yes. Warping is a different story
Jul 19, 2015 3:41 PM - Bradf80: Running my first print with ABS ever right now, hopefully it works out right. Been working on a sun visor for the stereo in my car lol
Jul 19, 2015 3:42 PM - Bradf80: I wasn't even able to complete my other print before the enclosure. My wife was like *shut it down! shut it down!*
Jul 19, 2015 3:42 PM - jim3Dbot: well, summer is the time I should print, open windows if mine is the odiferous type,,,
Jul 19, 2015 3:43 PM - jbigler1986: May be a little graphic pic for some
Jul 19, 2015 3:44 PM - jbigler1986: showed that mosquito whats up
Jul 19, 2015 3:46 PM - jim3Dbot: OMG, I see aids in ther....
Jul 19, 2015 3:47 PM - Bradf80: lol
Jul 19, 2015 3:54 PM - Mike Glass: Here you go Don.
Jul 19, 2015 3:54 PM - Bradf80: Damn, lifted, part seems to look close to what it's supposed to be but definitely didn't stay put on the bed /cry . Recommendations on materials to keep ABS on the bed?
Jul 19, 2015 3:55 PM - Mike Glass: aquanet hair spray
Jul 19, 2015 3:55 PM - Bradf80: That's what I used
Jul 19, 2015 3:55 PM - Mike Glass: what is your bed temp?
Jul 19, 2015 3:55 PM - Bradf80: I don't think I cleaned off the bed before I sprayed it from the last part though.
Jul 19, 2015 3:55 PM - Bradf80: Bed temp is 80
Jul 19, 2015 3:56 PM - Bradf80: extruder 230
Jul 19, 2015 3:56 PM - Mike Glass: how big is the part?
Jul 19, 2015 3:57 PM - Mike Glass: use a skirt also if you can.
Jul 19, 2015 3:59 PM - Bradf80: pretty good size like 8 1/2" long but thin with a slight curve. Think of a visor.
Jul 19, 2015 3:59 PM - Bradf80: I'm using simplify3d, I think it has a check box for a skirt right?

 

Jul 19, 2015 3:59 PM - Mike Glass: yep under additions
Jul 19, 2015 4:00 PM - jim3Dbot: Mike right skirt it......have not heard this before, but I use a brillo pad on my glass...lightly dampen...light pressure...easily makes squeaky clean.....then load up on the hairspray....personally apply hairspray on a cold bed, heat up & let evaporate off...
Jul 19, 2015 4:01 PM - Mike Glass: a brillow pad, does that scratch the glass?
Jul 19, 2015 4:01 PM - Bradf80: This is only the second time a part has lifted. The first time I didn't clean the bed off, the second time I didn't clean the bed off. There might be a pattern here...lol
Jul 19, 2015 4:01 PM - jim3Dbot: here we go again........i will bet it lifted in the rear y direction......
Jul 19, 2015 4:02 PM - Mike Glass: no that never happens
Jul 19, 2015 4:03 PM - jim3Dbot: light pressure, see no scratches....wipe soap off with paper towel before spray...
Jul 19, 2015 4:04 PM - jim3Dbot: brad, where is lift?
Jul 19, 2015 4:04 PM - Bradf80: Gonna show a picture, one sec.
Jul 19, 2015 4:04 PM - jim3Dbot: TY
Jul 19, 2015 4:05 PM - jim3Dbot: The 8-1/2" may be the flag...
Jul 19, 2015 4:06 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 4:07 PM - jim3Dbot: so part is printed parrallel to X axis?
Jul 19, 2015 4:09 PM - Mike Glass: do you have any drafts in your room?
Jul 19, 2015 4:10 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 4:10 PM - Bradf80: That's how it's printed
Jul 19, 2015 4:11 PM - jim3Dbot: Damn supports, is it flatter to bed with top down....
Jul 19, 2015 4:13 PM - Bradf80: Prints in PLA just fine, hoping it was just because I didn't clean the bed lol
Jul 19, 2015 4:14 PM - jim3Dbot: MG remark is also valid 'bout the drafts.....
Jul 19, 2015 4:15 PM - Bradf80: Hard to get a drafts in the enclosure I would think
Jul 19, 2015 4:15 PM - jim3Dbot: You are right, forgot about the pvc
Jul 19, 2015 4:16 PM - Mike Glass: supports are going to have issues as not enought floor area, Try using it with brim.
Jul 19, 2015 4:17 PM - Mike Glass: I said skirt earlier, although they are the same in s3d, you just have to change the distance to 0 for brim.
Jul 19, 2015 4:18 PM - Austin: Hey guy check out my SMART LED MOD since i'm a show off and have no friends http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/smart-led-mod-full-rgb-control-a-must-see.6285/
Jul 19, 2015 4:19 PM - jim3Dbot: Yeah, clean the bed, respray on cold bed......Just sayin' ABS may be less forgiving if you ain't over the heat pad... you may need to chk that if it does print again.....I had lifting with PLA on a 9" part that the last 1" was over the hotbed....until I moved the part forward...
Jul 19, 2015 4:21 PM - Bradf80: Mike it has skirt/brim checked with 1 layer 4mm offset 2 outlines
Jul 19, 2015 4:21 PM - Bradf80: that was the default
Jul 19, 2015 4:21 PM - Mike Glass: yea there is a fix for the bed position, look at waldo's thread he figured it out.
Jul 19, 2015 4:21 PM - Mike Glass: yes set offset to 0 for brim
Jul 19, 2015 4:22 PM - jim3Dbot: You need the brim attached with no offset...
Jul 19, 2015 4:22 PM - Mike Glass: funny s3d uses the same brim/skirt, where others it is seperate
Jul 19, 2015 4:23 PM - Bradf80: Ok so it's sets to 1 layer 0 offest 2 outlines
Jul 19, 2015 4:24 PM - jim3Dbot: Need more outlines
Jul 19, 2015 4:24 PM - Mike Glass: yes like at least 10
Jul 19, 2015 4:24 PM - Mike Glass: you can use more layers also that will give you better grip
Jul 19, 2015 4:24 PM - Bradf80: I'll do 12 then?
Jul 19, 2015 4:24 PM - Mike Glass: sounds good
Jul 19, 2015 4:25 PM - Mike Glass: what filament are you using?
Jul 19, 2015 4:25 PM - jim3Dbot: yep
Jul 19, 2015 4:27 PM - Bradf80: hatchbox abs
Jul 19, 2015 4:28 PM - Mike Glass: thats what I use. dont have any issues with it, other that think if you run your bed above 75 it gets too gooey.
Jul 19, 2015 4:29 PM - Mike Glass: others say they run around 100, I think thats cra cra
Jul 19, 2015 4:29 PM - jbigler1986: Ready?
Jul 19, 2015 4:29 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 4:30 PM - jim3Dbot: I am soooooo envious......
Jul 19, 2015 4:30 PM - Mike Glass: it looks like frankenstien..lol
Jul 19, 2015 4:30 PM - jbigler1986: That it does
Jul 19, 2015 4:30 PM - jbigler1986: Time to actually print the carriage now
Jul 19, 2015 4:30 PM - jim3Dbot: You got the spools reversed, how's that goin' to work.....LOL
Jul 19, 2015 4:31 PM - Mike Glass: yea they can ony turn one way...lol
Jul 19, 2015 4:32 PM - Mike Glass: geez jb you have so many parts, I see some on the window seal..lol
Jul 19, 2015 4:32 PM - jim3Dbot: doesn't the red extruder require the red PLA?
Jul 19, 2015 4:33 PM - jbigler1986: yeah i have parts everywhere right now
Jul 19, 2015 4:34 PM - jim3Dbot: I call it 'duallin BowTars'
Jul 19, 2015 4:37 PM - Mike Glass: want me to cnc you a plexi sign for the front for you JB?
Jul 19, 2015 4:38 PM - Mike Glass: ROBOSTEEN
Jul 19, 2015 4:39 PM - jim3Dbot: Bigler is Better.......
Jul 19, 2015 4:40 PM - Mike Glass: BIG-LER-ROBO
Jul 19, 2015 4:41 PM - jim3Dbot: Dual RoBigLer
Jul 19, 2015 4:44 PM - Bradf80: Am I supposed to see something different with those settings in the print preview?
Jul 19, 2015 4:45 PM - jim3Dbot: I don't think you see the brim, am I right?
Jul 19, 2015 4:48 PM - Mike Glass: you should
Jul 19, 2015 4:48 PM - Mike Glass: you see skirt in previews
Jul 19, 2015 4:48 PM - Bradf80: in S3d there's a bunch of what appears to be circles on one side of the part. Doesn't look right lol
Jul 19, 2015 4:50 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 4:51 PM - donhuevo: back
Jul 19, 2015 4:51 PM - jim3Dbot: Isn't that a brim on whats touching directly....chked software , do see brim
Jul 19, 2015 4:59 PM - Printed Solid: looks like a brim to me. That tiny section must be the only place that is touching. You should try to reorient so that it lays flat.
Jul 19, 2015 5:00 PM - Printed Solid: Cura does a really good job of that. reorient it in cura, then export the stl and slice in S3D.
Jul 19, 2015 5:00 PM - jim3Dbot: exactly.....something appears askew, may be my eyes...right side less brim
Jul 19, 2015 5:02 PM - jim3Dbot: prints well in PLA, but adding no offset brim reveals issues maybe....
Jul 19, 2015 5:10 PM - donhuevo: when are you gonna print that carriage mg?
Jul 19, 2015 5:10 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 5:10 PM - Bradf80: That's what I came up with, you guys think it will work? Having it print a raft too, to get a solid base.
Jul 19, 2015 5:11 PM - jim3Dbot: Looks like a nice wide brim now with supports in the center..that view reveals...print it
Jul 19, 2015 5:15 PM - jim3Dbot: Big part, if it lifts on rear edge...chk bed heater location.....can't stop sayin' that...
Jul 19, 2015 5:18 PM - jim3Dbot: Wine-thirty @ the lake....get air, fight west niles...
Jul 19, 2015 5:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 19, 2015 5:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Installing the LCD, Printed...
Jul 19, 2015 5:23 PM - donhuevo: nice Aaron!
Jul 19, 2015 5:23 PM - donhuevo: maybe a little shameless with the sticker
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Getting it installed now...need to print MK's feet next to mount it...Printed did a good job getting it to me and packed nicely...I have no problem sending him business
Jul 19, 2015 5:24 PM - donhuevo: haha... I was kidding. he's lurking around here somewhere
Jul 19, 2015 5:25 PM - donhuevo: it looks like you may want to get your nozzle a little closer to the bed for your first layer
Jul 19, 2015 5:26 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Yeah, I brought down a bit last night...looks like it needs to come down a bit more...
Jul 19, 2015 5:27 PM - donhuevo: the face of the extruder was against the bed...
Jul 19, 2015 5:28 PM - donhuevo: sorry, forgot to shrink that
Jul 19, 2015 5:28 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Shiny!
Jul 19, 2015 5:28 PM - donhuevo: between the hairspray and the smoosh, that's what you should expect to see
Jul 19, 2015 5:35 PM - Aaron Mitchell: very nice, indeed..
Jul 19, 2015 5:38 PM - Printed Solid: I'm here. Thanks Aaron. I do love seeing the gratuitous use of the sticker
Jul 19, 2015 5:41 PM - donhuevo: see... lurking
Jul 19, 2015 5:47 PM - Austin: Yo dudes check out this my crazy LED MOD let me know what ou think! guarantee you've never seen this done on an R1 before http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/smart-led-mod-full-rgb-control-a-must-see.6285/
Jul 19, 2015 5:49 PM - donhuevo: which LED's did you use for that?
Jul 19, 2015 5:56 PM - jbigler1986: Don
Jul 19, 2015 5:56 PM - donhuevo: JfnB
Jul 19, 2015 5:57 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 5:57 PM - jbigler1986: Looking much better now.
Jul 19, 2015 5:59 PM - donhuevo: I have faith in your printer
Jul 19, 2015 6:00 PM - jbigler1986: Adjusting voltage did the trick. Well and new driver

 

Jul 19, 2015 6:00 PM - donhuevo: how soon until the dual carriage is in your hands
Jul 19, 2015 6:01 PM - Bradf80: I've replaced one driver board since I got my printer. The oem ones are run at their limits and overheat imo.
Jul 19, 2015 6:03 PM - jbigler1986: A couple hours. Had to have some family time so it took a while to get it back together. Everything is all wired up and ready though. Only firmwarw change i need to make is the extruder offset.
Jul 19, 2015 6:04 PM - jbigler1986: Gonna stay up until its finished though. Energy drinks in hand
Jul 19, 2015 6:05 PM - donhuevo: cool. I'm not staying up with you
Jul 19, 2015 6:05 PM - jbigler1986: Oh come on. Lol
Jul 19, 2015 6:06 PM - donhuevo: I'll probably be up for another 3hrs
Jul 19, 2015 6:06 PM - jbigler1986: Well i will print the carriage next and stream it
Jul 19, 2015 6:06 PM - donhuevo: alrighty then
Jul 19, 2015 6:07 PM - jbigler1986: 2 for 2 on the drivers so far though
Jul 19, 2015 6:07 PM - donhuevo: congrats
Jul 19, 2015 6:08 PM - jbigler1986: Fan extender ordered as well
Jul 19, 2015 6:09 PM - donhuevo: good man
Jul 19, 2015 6:10 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Matt (Printed)...Do you have a link to a manual for the LCD XXL? Looking for installation guide...
Jul 19, 2015 6:12 PM - jbigler1986: It should be plug and play
Jul 19, 2015 6:12 PM - jbigler1986: Unplug the sd card reader and plug in the xxl lcd
Jul 19, 2015 6:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: k...thanks JB..wasn't sure what to do with that
Jul 19, 2015 6:27 PM - Printed Solid: are you good to go now aaron? Pretty much it's just plug it in and go!
Jul 19, 2015 6:28 PM - Printed Solid: people ask the question you just asked about the SD card occasionally.
Jul 19, 2015 6:29 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Think so, Matt...I will give it a shot and power up in a bit...
Jul 19, 2015 6:29 PM - Printed Solid: The other question I get is 'I put my STL on the SD card and it's not working'. No pointing fingers, but I'm pretty sure at least a few of the regulars here have pulled that one
Jul 19, 2015 6:29 PM - Printed Solid: you have to put the gcode on the SD card.
Jul 19, 2015 6:30 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Cool thanks...I wasn't aware of that either!
Jul 19, 2015 6:30 PM - Printed Solid: I used to have a link to the barnacules set up instructions, but that looks like it got killed in the move to the new site. I will find it and get it back on there.
Jul 19, 2015 6:30 PM - Printed Solid: I should add those two questions as FAQ on the page.
Jul 19, 2015 6:40 PM - Aaron Mitchell: After I gt it installed, I will try to put something together for you...
Jul 19, 2015 6:41 PM - Bradf80: Print looking good so far. It's about 1/2 way through now.
Jul 19, 2015 6:42 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Whatcha makin', Brad?
Jul 19, 2015 6:46 PM - Bradf80: Project I've been working on for a while.
Jul 19, 2015 6:46 PM - Bradf80: This is PLA, working on ABS now in my enclosure.
Jul 19, 2015 6:50 PM - Aaron Mitchell: very nice!
Jul 19, 2015 7:07 PM - Mike Glass: donnny where are you
Jul 19, 2015 7:09 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Haven't seen him, MG
Jul 19, 2015 7:11 PM - Mike Glass: he's lurking
Jul 19, 2015 7:14 PM - Mike Kelly: finally freaking home
Jul 19, 2015 7:25 PM - Mike Glass: hey Mike
Jul 19, 2015 7:34 PM - Aaron Mitchell: o/
Jul 19, 2015 7:38 PM - Mike Kelly: Hey
Jul 19, 2015 7:42 PM - Mike Kelly: Had some bad traffic thanks to the Renaissance festival plus a muli car rear ending
Jul 19, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Glass: so much fun
Jul 19, 2015 7:47 PM - daniel871: Zebra plate clips done, printing Waldo's pillow blocks for the Y axis now to finish off the last bit of this PET+ spool.
Jul 19, 2015 7:47 PM - donhuevo: what's up mg?
Jul 19, 2015 7:48 PM - Aaron Mitchell: MK...
Jul 19, 2015 7:48 PM - Mike Glass: Just ran this through analysis, getting ready to print, I dont have the screw for the top though, can you get the stl?
Jul 19, 2015 7:49 PM - jbigler1986: Forgot to comment out m565. She got all confused
Jul 19, 2015 7:50 PM - donhuevo: the top should be in this zip file... http://www.oddhobs.com/jb/
Jul 19, 2015 7:56 PM - Mike Glass: BItchin Camero
Jul 19, 2015 7:56 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Jul 19, 2015 7:57 PM - donhuevo: ^
Jul 19, 2015 7:57 PM - Mike Glass: old saying
Jul 19, 2015 7:58 PM - Mike Glass: 4 hours to print..
Jul 19, 2015 7:58 PM - jbigler1986: Had to clear a jam in the heatbreak due to the damn M565. Need to just remove that crap
Jul 19, 2015 7:58 PM - Mike Glass: think I need support?
Jul 19, 2015 7:59 PM - jbigler1986: 4 hours for the carriage?
Jul 19, 2015 7:59 PM - Mike Glass: yea
Jul 19, 2015 8:00 PM - donhuevo: not for the round openings
Jul 19, 2015 8:01 PM - jbigler1986: Check out these dual extruders. Badass
Jul 19, 2015 8:01 PM - jbigler1986:
Jul 19, 2015 8:02 PM - jbigler1986: Truly one of a kind
Jul 19, 2015 8:05 PM - Mike Glass: wow new axis for printing
Jul 19, 2015 8:06 PM - Mike Glass: May be my last print with these threaded rods.
Jul 19, 2015 8:08 PM - jbigler1986: as promised don http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jul 19, 2015 8:08 PM - jbigler1986: focus sucks at the moment
Jul 19, 2015 8:12 PM - jbigler1986: 2 hours and 20 minutes for this carriage
Jul 19, 2015 8:14 PM - Aaron Mitchell: OK...issues...got the LCD in...started a print and the printed head is10 inches from the bed
Jul 19, 2015 8:17 PM - donhuevo: yay!
Jul 19, 2015 8:17 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 19, 2015 8:19 PM - Mike Glass: can someone tell me if this works
Jul 19, 2015 8:20 PM - Aaron Mitchell: yeds
Jul 19, 2015 8:20 PM - Aaron Mitchell: err...yes
Jul 19, 2015 8:20 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Looks like a loop
Jul 19, 2015 8:23 PM - Mike Glass: nope just really slow
Jul 19, 2015 8:27 PM - Mike Glass: jb what resolution did you use.
Jul 19, 2015 8:29 PM - Mike Glass: haha im still on the first layer
Jul 19, 2015 8:31 PM - jbigler1986: .15 i think
Jul 19, 2015 8:31 PM - jbigler1986: Maybe .2
Jul 19, 2015 8:31 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Figured out my issue...
Jul 19, 2015 8:33 PM - Mike Glass: switch?
Jul 19, 2015 8:33 PM - jbigler1986: MG its .15
Jul 19, 2015 8:33 PM - jbigler1986: What was the issue?
Jul 19, 2015 8:33 PM - Aaron Mitchell: z-switch was out of whack after turning machine over
Jul 19, 2015 8:34 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I just get better and better at this stuff
Jul 19, 2015 8:34 PM - jbigler1986: Common overlook
Jul 19, 2015 8:34 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Mike...you ready to put the new screws in?
Jul 19, 2015 8:35 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I got one print left tonight and will be up bright and early...
Jul 19, 2015 8:35 PM - Mike Glass: first think that happened when I opened and printed for the first time.
Jul 19, 2015 8:36 PM - Mike Glass: im printing ast 40% infill as well JB
Jul 19, 2015 8:37 PM - Mike Glass: and only 40mm using abs
Jul 19, 2015 8:37 PM - jbigler1986: Ahhh. Im printing at 15 and 100mm/s
Jul 19, 2015 8:40 PM - jbigler1986: This e3d fan mount is half broke
Jul 19, 2015 8:40 PM - Bradf80:
Jul 19, 2015 8:41 PM - Bradf80: success!
Jul 19, 2015 8:41 PM - jbigler1986: Nice. Looks like the enclosure did the trick
Jul 19, 2015 8:41 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 19, 2015 8:42 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Brad...you said that was ABS?
Jul 19, 2015 8:43 PM - jbigler1986: Real nice. Did yours come with white lights or blue? I remember Braydon said they were going to change them to white
Jul 19, 2015 8:43 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Mine came with blue...I have a desk lamp behind it...
Jul 19, 2015 8:44 PM - jbigler1986: Gotcha. The blue looks cool. Hard to see prints though
Jul 19, 2015 8:44 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I have some selectable color LED's from Adafruit, I may put in later...
Jul 19, 2015 8:44 PM - Mike Glass: hmm lcd wont let me up the bed temp past 70, even though its at 75 now. strange

 

Jul 19, 2015 8:45 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i have 3 leds strips that can change color. They are on yellow right now. White was hard to see the print
Jul 19, 2015 8:45 PM - jbigler1986: Remove all power and try again.
Jul 19, 2015 8:46 PM - Aaron Mitchell: firmware..or something set in S3D, MG?
Jul 19, 2015 8:47 PM - Aaron Mitchell: What speed do you print PLA at, Mike?
Jul 19, 2015 8:47 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Not going to ask JB, because he has a Frankenmachine...
Jul 19, 2015 8:47 PM - jbigler1986: I use to print at 50
Jul 19, 2015 8:48 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I normally print at 60, but wanted to see if I could notch it up a bit
Jul 19, 2015 8:48 PM - Mike Glass: I using abs though
Jul 19, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: Sometimes slower. I didnt care about time
Jul 19, 2015 8:48 PM - Aaron Mitchell: You always use ABS, Mike?
Jul 19, 2015 8:48 PM - jbigler1986: You can print up to like 80 and be fine. Might lose a little quality
Jul 19, 2015 8:49 PM - Mike Glass: corners start to look weird after 60-70, so normally I print 50
Jul 19, 2015 8:49 PM - Aaron Mitchell: If I can speed it up 10% (66) that would save me almost an hour
Jul 19, 2015 8:49 PM - Aaron Mitchell: ok...
Jul 19, 2015 8:50 PM - Mike Glass: no just for parts that are around heat, or if im using for casting or gluing on furniture, then I can vapor polish
Jul 19, 2015 8:50 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah 66 should be fine
Jul 19, 2015 8:50 PM - Mike Glass: I dont really care about speed, untill I get this new carriage rolling
Jul 19, 2015 8:51 PM - jbigler1986: Did you order the v6?
Jul 19, 2015 8:51 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I want to make a BiglerRepRap now...
Jul 19, 2015 8:53 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i was fine with mostly stock for a while. Then i started to mod and just havent stopped
Jul 19, 2015 8:53 PM - Mike Glass: Here is what im printing.
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Nice dicting...
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 PM - Mike Glass: Well thats don's work
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 PM - Mike Glass: He dont Dict around
Jul 19, 2015 8:54 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Yeah, I saw him throwing up the design earlier this evening...looks nice...
Jul 19, 2015 8:55 PM - Aaron Mitchell: MG, you use the LCD XXL?
Jul 19, 2015 8:55 PM - jbigler1986: This dual im printing was his as well
Jul 19, 2015 8:56 PM - jbigler1986: He has full graphics as do I
Jul 19, 2015 8:56 PM - Mike Glass: nope same as jb
Jul 19, 2015 8:56 PM - Mike Glass: waiting for MK to fit it on his feet like you have
Jul 19, 2015 8:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell: well, shit...guess I bought the wrong one...
Jul 19, 2015 8:56 PM - Aaron Mitchell:
Jul 19, 2015 8:57 PM - Mike Glass: I just cheap.
Jul 19, 2015 8:57 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I hit the panic button on the XXL earlier when I was testing it and it locked up the system...
Jul 19, 2015 8:57 PM - Mike Glass: yep thats what it does
Jul 19, 2015 8:57 PM - Aaron Mitchell: heh...great...
Jul 19, 2015 8:57 PM - Mike Glass: kinda stupid
Jul 19, 2015 8:57 PM - jbigler1986: Yeah i left that button off
Jul 19, 2015 8:58 PM - Aaron Mitchell: ...you can't get out of menus or anything after pressing it
Jul 19, 2015 8:58 PM - jbigler1986: Nope. Gotta power off
Jul 19, 2015 8:58 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I borrowed my wife's nail polish and painted it red...
Jul 19, 2015 8:58 PM - Mike Glass: nope locks it tight
Jul 19, 2015 8:58 PM - Mike Glass: most people dont even put it on
Jul 19, 2015 8:58 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Guess, I'm gonna have to read some code later and fix that..
Jul 19, 2015 8:59 PM - jbigler1986: Enabled eeprom write earlier as well. Cold extrude gcode works. FYI
Jul 19, 2015 9:00 PM - jbigler1986: I remember you were messing with it for the cnc i think mike

 

Jul 19, 2015 9:01 PM - Mike Glass: no in repetier you can set to ignore heat
Jul 19, 2015 9:01 PM - jbigler1986: Ah. Yeah i havent used repetier in months
Jul 19, 2015 9:02 PM - Mike Glass: I havent either, I only use it for my discs and for spiral vases.
Jul 19, 2015 9:02 PM - Mike Glass: still cant get s3d to do a vase.
Jul 19, 2015 9:02 PM - jbigler1986: Wonder if s3d 3.0 is any better at it
Jul 19, 2015 9:03 PM - Mike Glass: Mike said it was wierd
Jul 19, 2015 9:03 PM - jbigler1986: U would think it would be easy for them
Jul 19, 2015 9:05 PM - Nicolas: I'm having under extrusion problems how do you fix them
Jul 19, 2015 9:06 PM - Aaron Mitchell: They must not have figured out π
Jul 19, 2015 9:07 PM - Mike Glass: what kind of filament
Jul 19, 2015 9:08 PM - Nicolas: just some makerbot white pla was the only thing my local store had
Jul 19, 2015 9:09 PM - Mike Glass: is it just on the first layer?
Jul 19, 2015 9:10 PM - Nicolas: nah the whole thing its all spongy looking could it be the temps too hot
Jul 19, 2015 9:10 PM - Nicolas: i have it 210
Jul 19, 2015 9:11 PM - Mike Glass: not unless it is a fairly small part
Jul 19, 2015 9:11 PM - Nicolas: nah it was a decently size print
Jul 19, 2015 9:14 PM - Mike Glass: what slicer do you use
Jul 19, 2015 9:14 PM - Nicolas: cura
Jul 19, 2015 9:16 PM - Mike Glass: what is the extrusion set at
Jul 19, 2015 9:17 PM - Nicolas: i just installed a e3d v6 and have been checking for jams but its being perfectly smooth so I don't think it is the hotend or the extrusion assembly
Jul 19, 2015 9:17 PM - Nicolas: the flows at 100%
Jul 19, 2015 9:18 PM - Nicolas: maybe i enter the nozzle size wrong but i checked the website and it said .4
Jul 19, 2015 9:18 PM - Mike Glass: have you used that filament before?
Jul 19, 2015 9:19 PM - Nicolas: yea \
Jul 19, 2015 9:20 PM - Nicolas: oh i just found it i think it said the filament was 2.85 instead of 1.75 could that be it
Jul 19, 2015 9:25 PM - Mike Glass: bingo
Jul 19, 2015 9:27 PM - Nicolas: thx
Jul 19, 2015 9:39 PM - Mike Glass: NP
Jul 20, 2015 2:55 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Jul 20, 2015 3:02 AM - jbigler1986: Morning
Jul 20, 2015 3:05 AM - Bill Monroe: jb-ster
Jul 20, 2015 3:06 AM - jbigler1986: How are you this morning
Jul 20, 2015 3:07 AM - Bill Monroe: physically, working off a little cold. Mentally, spaced out becuase I spent the whole weekend cleaning and organizing my office..
Jul 20, 2015 3:07 AM - Bill Monroe: did you know I have carpet in here?
Jul 20, 2015 3:08 AM - jbigler1986: No. But lots of offices do
Jul 20, 2015 3:08 AM - Bill Monroe:
Jul 20, 2015 3:09 AM - Bill Monroe: I rebuilt the closet into a mas of cubby-hole shelving for clear plastic totes..
Jul 20, 2015 3:09 AM - Bill Monroe: I'm now so organized I cant do anything
Jul 20, 2015 3:10 AM - Bill Monroe: how you doin? ready to tear out the duals yet?
Jul 20, 2015 3:32 AM - Aaron Mitchell: o/
Jul 20, 2015 3:32 AM - Bill Monroe: Aaron
Jul 20, 2015 3:33 AM - Aaron Mitchell: Morning, Bill..
Jul 20, 2015 4:26 AM - jbigler1986: Dont have them on yet. Carriage is printed. Printing the other parts
Jul 20, 2015 4:26 AM - Bill Monroe: I know you will succeed
Jul 20, 2015 4:31 AM - jbigler1986: Well technically i have them both on. 2nd is zip tied to my wiring right now. Lol
Jul 20, 2015 4:33 AM - Bill Monroe: ooooo I'm sure it'll print extremely well
Jul 20, 2015 4:36 AM - jbigler1986: If you scroll up you will see the picture.
Jul 20, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: boooo. part failed
Jul 20, 2015 4:54 AM - Bill Monroe:
Jul 20, 2015 4:54 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jul 20, 2015 4:57 AM - Bill Monroe: yuk
Jul 20, 2015 4:58 AM - jbigler1986: postive note. at least it did the top good. lol
Jul 20, 2015 4:58 AM - jbigler1986: i keep forgetting that i need to print small parts like that slower
Jul 20, 2015 5:00 AM - daniel871: Well, I'm going to have to get a replacement heated bed. Last PET+ print took up several chips of glass with it out of the bed.
Jul 20, 2015 5:00 AM - daniel871: Print itself looks great, but the bed stuck to it.
Jul 20, 2015 5:01 AM - jbigler1986: contact robo. i got one for $30 with the heatpad and thermistor
Jul 20, 2015 5:01 AM - daniel871: Not at the edges either, random spots in the middle of the bed.
Jul 20, 2015 5:02 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 20, 2015 5:03 AM - donhuevo: not too bad
Jul 20, 2015 5:03 AM - donhuevo: did you try threading a top on yet?
Jul 20, 2015 5:04 AM - daniel871: What you need is a mix of the v2 carriage and that one so that the fans just screw into the carriage with no separate parts.
Jul 20, 2015 5:04 AM - jbigler1986: i did. it was a screwed up one but the threaded parts was good. threaded on great
Jul 20, 2015 5:05 AM - jbigler1986:
Jul 20, 2015 5:05 AM - daniel871: Meant the parts fans as well as tge hotend fans.
Jul 20, 2015 5:05 AM - daniel871: The
Jul 20, 2015 5:06 AM - jbigler1986: they screw on like my current ones. screws on from the top instead of the bottom
Jul 20, 2015 5:07 AM - jbigler1986: which works better bc that will allow me to use a 20mm thick fan if i want
Jul 20, 2015 5:07 AM - jbigler1986: it's dons design
Jul 20, 2015 5:07 AM - daniel871: How is the frame clearance at the top of the Z?
Jul 20, 2015 5:08 AM - daniel871: Or are you going to dual bowden "beast" build next?
Jul 20, 2015 5:09 AM - jbigler1986: clearance will be fine. more clearance than stock
Jul 20, 2015 5:09 AM - daniel871: Including the part fan new locations?
Jul 20, 2015 5:13 AM - jbigler1986: need to double check. wont be an issue though
Jul 20, 2015 5:31 AM - donhuevo: the rear parts fan will probably hit the case near the top
Jul 20, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: I very very rarely print that tall
Jul 20, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: but nothing a dremel cant fix
Jul 20, 2015 5:32 AM - donhuevo: true
Jul 20, 2015 5:33 AM - jbigler1986: not sure what happened on the print. probably trying to print it to fast
Jul 20, 2015 5:33 AM - donhuevo: just to be clear, you're stepping into territory I never went. I chickened out before installing my dual carriage
Jul 20, 2015 5:34 AM - jbigler1986: lol. yeah i know.
Jul 20, 2015 5:34 AM - donhuevo: I'm hoping there's enough resistance in the threads that they'll stay where you adjust them
Jul 20, 2015 5:34 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jbigler1986
Jul 20, 2015 5:34 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i had to use pliers to turn it. which i'm good with for this application
Jul 20, 2015 5:37 AM - donhuevo: cool
Jul 20, 2015 5:37 AM - donhuevo: I'm assuming all you have to do is paper test them both until they feel the same
Jul 20, 2015 5:39 AM - donhuevo: you didn't add support
Jul 20, 2015 5:40 AM - jbigler1986: or measure the distance from carriage to the nozzle.
Jul 20, 2015 5:42 AM - jbigler1986: i keep forgetting to turn speed way down for small parts like the top piece
Jul 20, 2015 5:42 AM - donhuevo: and you forgot to add the support in
Jul 20, 2015 5:43 AM - jbigler1986: nope. it was in there. just totally failed. printing way to fast and there is a ton of retraction
Jul 20, 2015 5:43 AM - donhuevo: did you use the one with the support already drawn in?
Jul 20, 2015 5:44 AM - jbigler1986: no. i added it in s3d
Jul 20, 2015 5:44 AM - jbigler1986: it just doesn't like to be printed at 100mm/s
Jul 20, 2015 5:45 AM - jbigler1986: gonna do 50 at lunch
Jul 20, 2015 6:23 AM - daniel871: Do you have the "Adjust speed for layers taking less than X seconds" thing checked under cooling, JB?
Jul 20, 2015 6:24 AM - jbigler1986: Pretty sure. just printing way to fast for a small part with a ton of retraction
Jul 20, 2015 6:25 AM - daniel871: I had to manually check it as it wasn't on by default (did it for PET+ printing because those clips would finish a layer before the start of the previous layer had set).
Jul 20, 2015 6:26 AM - daniel871: Also I've got about 1/8 pound of PET+ left on a spool, what should I print with it?
Jul 20, 2015 6:27 AM - daniel871: It's Black.
Jul 20, 2015 6:28 AM - daniel871: Thought about printing one of those pokemon models for my cousin, but I don't know enough about them to know one that would look right all in black (have all however many and all of their evolutions in OBJ format from that page someone on here linked a while back).
