Aug 12, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Glass: nope just wet sand a bit and primer, then chrome paint.
Aug 12, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Kelly: very cool
Aug 12, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Kelly: fun project
Aug 12, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Glass: thinking about doing a storm trooper next
Aug 12, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Glass: I made this for my boy for halloween
Aug 12, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Aug 12, 2015 7:51 PM - Mike Glass: I did use some water putty on it but didnt stick too well.
Aug 12, 2015 7:52 PM - Mike Glass: maybe if I hit it with some MEK it may stick better.
Aug 12, 2015 7:52 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Aug 12, 2015 7:52 PM - Mike Glass: does bondo stick ok to pla?
Aug 12, 2015 7:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i think so
Aug 12, 2015 7:53 PM - Mike Kelly: never tried
Aug 12, 2015 7:56 PM - Bill Monroe: i've thinned out some body spotting putty with laquer thinner until it was like thick pancake batter, painted it on and then sanded.. awesome results
Aug 12, 2015 7:58 PM - Mike Glass: nice, I used some water putty bill, not sure if you know what that is
Aug 12, 2015 7:58 PM - Bill Monroe: I do, of course
Aug 12, 2015 7:58 PM - Bill Monroe: gets uber hard
Aug 12, 2015 7:59 PM - Bill Monroe: spot putty is laquer based, comes in a tube and is about like toothpaste.. a little thinner and you're good to go
Aug 12, 2015 7:59 PM - Mike Kelly: where's don when you need him
Aug 12, 2015 7:59 PM - Bill Monroe: i used it to smooth prints so I can use them for sand casting patterns
Aug 12, 2015 8:00 PM - Mike Glass: so its just the spot putty, not actually bondo mix
Aug 12, 2015 8:00 PM - Bill Monroe: ya, it's just a tube, no catalyst
Aug 12, 2015 8:01 PM - Bill Monroe: auto parts stores have it, around here at least
Aug 12, 2015 8:01 PM - Mike Glass: I may have some, but if I do its ancient.
Aug 12, 2015 8:01 PM - Bill Monroe: squirt some in a paper bathroom cup.. add a little thinner, use an HB acid brush, when you're done you can just throw it all away..
Aug 12, 2015 8:02 PM - Bill Monroe: HF
Aug 12, 2015 8:03 PM - Mike Glass: HB?
Aug 12, 2015 8:03 PM - Bill Monroe: HF.. I chat with RC modelers.. HB=Hobby Barn.. muscle memory took over
Aug 12, 2015 8:05 PM - Mike Glass: acid brush, special kind?
Aug 12, 2015 8:06 PM - Bill Monroe: you know.. those cheapo rolled metal handled brushes sold by the gross
Aug 12, 2015 8:06 PM - Bill Monroe: wait..
Aug 12, 2015 8:08 PM - Bill Monroe: http://www.amazon.com/Harbor-Freight-Tools-Horsehair-Bristle/dp/B006ZBD95Q
Aug 12, 2015 8:09 PM - Mike Glass: ha, thanks, probably the same ones I use for flux.
Aug 12, 2015 8:09 PM - Bill Monroe: probably
Aug 12, 2015 8:10 PM - Bill Monroe: the idea is to be able to throw them away without guilt
Aug 12, 2015 8:12 PM - Mike Glass: true that.
Aug 12, 2015 8:30 PM - jtn7040: Anyone have any issues with their LCD screen thinking the SD card is insertered when it's removed or removed when it's inserted?
Aug 12, 2015 8:30 PM - Bill Monroe: not yet
Aug 12, 2015 8:32 PM - jtn7040: hmm
Aug 12, 2015 8:40 PM - Mike Glass: what lcd
Aug 12, 2015 8:55 PM - jtn7040: Full graphic LCD from sainsmart
Aug 12, 2015 8:55 PM - jtn7040: i have another one hooked up to my primary printer and i don't have any issues but for some reason this one seems to have the sdcard detect backwards
Aug 12, 2015 8:58 PM - Mike Glass: loose connection?
Aug 12, 2015 8:58 PM - jtn7040: that's what i was thinking at first, but when i insert a card it tells me that i have removed it, and when i remove a card it tells me that i have inserted one
Aug 12, 2015 8:59 PM - Mike Glass: have you power cycled it
Aug 12, 2015 8:59 PM - jtn7040: and the rest of the functions of the lcd seem to be working fine, yeah i have a hand full of times now

 

Aug 12, 2015 at 9:02 PM - jtn7040: .... ironically i just got mad at it and smacked it and it seems to be working......
Aug 12, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Mike Glass: maybe a bad connection on the back somewhere
Aug 12, 2015 at 9:04 PM - jtn7040: hmm ok that didn't actually fix it... but i figured out if i hit the kill button with it in there, then it reads it when i reboot... but when i take the card out then back to the same problem
Aug 12, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Mike Glass: 26K like now for robo, wtg guys
Aug 13, 2015 at 4:52 AM - jbigler1986: morning

Aug 13, 2015 at 5:16 AM - daniel871: A bunch of people on FB are getting mad about tge bed not being under warranty.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:17 AM - JeffTheMess: i know people are willing to pay for it too,, extended warranty. they can be making more money
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:17 AM - JeffTheMess: or go to best buy, buy robo and buy best buy 2 year warranty
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:19 AM - jbigler1986: nope. no word from Robo

Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 AM - jbigler1986: a refinery in indiana shut down yesterday. don't remember the reason. so gas price jumped like 60 cents
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 AM - donhuevo: ouch
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 AM - JeffTheMess: wow
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 AM - daniel871: That's retarded.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:53 AM - daniel871: Gas is $2.49 where I am and it dropped from $2.80 a couple weeks ago.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:53 AM - daniel871: They charge what they can get away with/what Wall Street speculators sell the gas for.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: yep. it's bullshit
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:55 AM - daniel871: Fn Wall Street.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:56 AM - daniel871: For reference if people think I'm joking/haven't already read it. http://money.howstuffworks.com/oil-speculation-raise-gas-price.htm
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:56 AM - jbigler1986: yep. i wish i cared about stocks more. I would jump on some and make some $
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:56 AM - daniel871: Do you have dozens of thousands of dollars lying around?
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.wthr.com/story/29772073/central-indiana-gas-prices-jump
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:58 AM - JeffTheMess: (who doesnt)
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:07 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:08 AM - JeffTheMess: Bill
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:08 AM - jbigler1986: i wish i had thousands of dollars lying around right now. I'm holding onto that shit for dear life right now. Attorney fees are going to be crazy. Getting a new house with
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:08 AM - jbigler1986: and having to buy everything gets pricey
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:09 AM - JeffTheMess: I hear that

Aug 13, 2015 at 6:22 AM - JeffTheMess: seeing the good with the bad....hex broke now i can upgrade to e3d
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:23 AM - jbigler1986: what is broke on it?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:23 AM - Bill Monroe: i yanked it in favor of a Shitmera. once I came to my senses, decided to cannabalize the POS and use the parts to make up a V6.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:24 AM - JeffTheMess: heat break bent
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:24 AM - Bill Monroe: howd that happen?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:24 AM - jbigler1986: That thing is the devil
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:25 AM - Bill Monroe: mine never have me any trouble
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:25 AM - JeffTheMess: idk first time i took it out to clean it, then next thing you know i was printing then it stopped
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:25 AM - jbigler1986: i bent mine on accident. that's when i went to the v6
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:26 AM - Mike Glass: Morning gents
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:26 AM - Bill Monroe: Mike
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:26 AM - JeffTheMess: hey mike
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:26 AM - jbigler1986: actually no. when i broke the thermistor that's when i went to the v6
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:27 AM - JeffTheMess: if its broke might as well upgrade right
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:27 AM - JeffTheMess: how much is the hex?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:27 AM - jbigler1986: like $50 or $60
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:27 AM - daniel871: Same price as the v6 on Amazon.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:27 AM - daniel871: Depends on who you buy from though.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:28 AM - jbigler1986: i got mine from printed. he send it with the 40w heater too. at least he did with mine
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:28 AM - JeffTheMess: really? v6 is like 80 bucks on printed solid
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:28 AM - daniel871: There's a very nice Hexagon kit on Amazon for $60. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W8FL5BS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:28 AM - Bill Monroe: there are inferior clones
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:29 AM - jbigler1986: exactly. the extra $20 for a v6 is well worth it
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:30 AM - JeffTheMess: ^
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:30 AM - daniel871: That kit comes with the fan and already-spliced/etc. wires with plugs. I got it a while back before buying the v6 when I was reading about cracked heat breaks on the Robo's Hex.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:30 AM - jbigler1986: v6 wiring is not hard
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:31 AM - jbigler1986: is your dual printing yet?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:32 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah i saw a few videos on youtube doesn't seem hard, i hear the hardest is the thermistor
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:33 AM - JeffTheMess: no dual for me
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: which is easy
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:39 AM - jbigler1986: can you solder?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:42 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah soldering is really easy for me
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:42 AM - jbigler1986: then you will be just fine. don't crimp anything. just solder
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:43 AM - JeffTheMess: hardware is the easy part its the software/firmware that I will fail in
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:43 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah i did that with my limit switches, they kept falling apart
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:45 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i never attempted to crimp anything on the robo. I just soldered everything i needed
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: savages
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:47 AM - JeffTheMess: dont judge me lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:53 AM - JeffTheMess: (hey why isn't my Y axis not moving back, oh limit switch can't keep it together
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:54 AM - JeffTheMess: i tried crimping failed everytime
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:54 AM - Bill Monroe: keep at it, you'll get it right eventually
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:55 AM - JeffTheMess: (thats what she said ) lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:58 AM - daniel871: The part of the thermistor that is difficult is the screw holding the wires on the side of the heater block, not the wiring up part. Stupid things keep trying to slide out from under the washer.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:58 AM - Bill Monroe: can you identiy this? http://i.imgur.com/oYil3oR.jpg

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:03 AM - Bill Monroe: and believe it or not.. it tested good
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:03 AM - daniel871: The spring-loaded deal inside kept having me think it was for an engine of some kind.

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:08 AM - JeffTheMess: transistor replaced them

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:12 AM - Bill Monroe: so popular at the time it has a wikipedia page
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:13 AM - JeffTheMess: they get hot right
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Bill Monroe: not unless you did something wrong
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:14 AM - Bill Monroe: and since it was aimed at the hobbyis market, many probably did get hot

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:38 AM - Bill Monroe: ya know.. i'm not sure.. the one I can get my hands on is a testerone-infused 60 hp!
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:38 AM - jim3Dbot: sounds like the super beetle when they went from 53 to 60hp
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:39 AM - Bill Monroe: heh
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:39 AM - jim3Dbot: 60hp st8 with 200lbs of torque
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:39 AM - Bill Monroe: the 4 is super tired.. they want 7K to make it whole again..
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:39 AM - jim3Dbot: whoaaaa
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. they do super nice work but still...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:40 AM - jim3Dbot: sounds like the 8 the way to go
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:40 AM - Bill Monroe: i dunno.. probably spend more than that adapting it..
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:41 AM - jim3Dbot: yeah but....varoom
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:41 AM - Bill Monroe: im just gunna wait and see what opportunity pops up
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:41 AM - jim3Dbot: as long as its runnin'
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:41 AM - Bill Monroe: heh I got enough crap from the community when the discovered I put a GM alternator in it
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:42 AM - jim3Dbot: water & oil don't mix
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:42 AM - Bill Monroe: yabut it works so nice
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:43 AM - jim3Dbot: surprised its not a generator...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:43 AM - Bill Monroe: i painted it black to hopefully hide it.. I failed
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Bill Monroe: so far though, no one has noticed I put a pressured triple-pass radiator in it
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:44 AM - jim3Dbot: 3d print a false shell......
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:44 AM - Bill Monroe: i cant put plastic in it.. that's going too far
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:46 AM - jim3Dbot: Hmmmmmmmm
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:46 AM - Bill Monroe: a guy at the airport put a VW in his
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:47 AM - Bill Monroe: from a 914
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:47 AM - Bill Monroe: super clean install and really clever
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:48 AM - Mike Kelly: how bout dem robo3d printers
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:48 AM - jim3Dbot: the old porsche....I sold a Bradley with a 914 motor years ago...two webers with dual intakes...high lift rockers...headrers....lifted front end up 1st to 2nd
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:48 AM - Bill Monroe: yipes
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:49 AM - jim3Dbot: sorry
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:49 AM - Bill Monroe: front engine yes?

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:50 AM - jim3Dbot: rear.....nothin' up front accept a AC condensor mounted parrallel to gnd...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:51 AM - jim3Dbot: thats why easy to lift front...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: ohya.. of course
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:52 AM - jim3Dbot: On a 3d note, any word on the new linears from robo...here yet?
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:53 AM - Bill Monroe: delayed.. again
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:53 AM - Mike Kelly: 25th i believe is the new expected ship date
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:54 AM - jim3Dbot: damn, you guys beta'ed it, it seemed to pass...need to revise these wobble sticks...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:55 AM - jim3Dbot: need to get $100??? by then..
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:55 AM - Bill Monroe: ive run mine enough to wear out the delrin..
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:56 AM - jim3Dbot: delrin should be natualy greasy...thought they last almost forever...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:57 AM - Bill Monroe: naw, actually delrin cant handle shear wear very well.. plus it probably cheap chinese delrin clone
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:58 AM - jim3Dbot: didn't know 'bout the shear......made many fixtures from it...tapped strong...held together very well...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:58 AM - jim3Dbot: acetal I think...
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:59 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, I use it for lots of stuff.. especially the brown stuff that i cant recall the exact name right now.. but slide it agains somrthing with any real pressure.. it gives up like a lil girl
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:00 AM - jim3Dbot: installed delrin on Dadel? slides, for Bed of nail test fixtures, techs couldn't break 'em
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 AM - Bill Monroe: Delrin AF.. that's the stuff.. machines super nice.. lasts a long time
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 AM - Bill Monroe: PTFE infused
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:02 AM - jim3Dbot: ahhhh
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: it'll handle autoclaves and sterization too
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: err sterilization?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: something like that
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jim3Dbot: bug-free
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:03 AM - jbigler1986: yeah pretty sure mine wearing out too
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: medical applications.. my main focus
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:04 AM - Bill Monroe: i odered those nuts jb, should be here tomorrow
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:04 AM - Bill Monroe: in th mean time, I just turned off the so called auto-level.. been doing just fine
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM - jim3Dbot: these delrin parts wearing out...are they part of the new linear z's?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM - Bill Monroe: i think robo has brass
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM - jbigler1986: so no G29?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM - jbigler1986: the delrin are from the ones we bought on amazon
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM - Bill Monroe: no G29
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:06 AM - jbigler1986: picture showed brass. sluts
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:06 AM - Bill Monroe: M204 P400 T400 R9000 ; Printing 400 - Travel 400 - Retraction - 9000 G28 ; home all axes G0 X100 Y90 Z5 F5000 ;goto center of bed and lift Z by 5mm G30 ;single Z probe G92 Z-.85 ;set probed position to 0
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:06 AM - jim3Dbot: so robo is using brass.......
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:06 AM - Bill Monroe: i think the pitch is finer than the sainsmarts too
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:06 AM - jbigler1986: they are
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: robo is using brass yes
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Bill Monroe: but in the end, it's still repcrap
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 AM - jim3Dbot: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 AM - jbigler1986: MK were you working on a beard in one of the vids?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 AM - Mike Kelly: no i'm just lazy
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:08 AM - jim3Dbot: I hate to beat a moleated horse but, if one disables autolevel, why is that a bad thing...if the bed or x does not move/drift?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:08 AM - jim3Dbot: molested
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:09 AM - Bill Monroe: it's not bad at all
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:09 AM - jbigler1986: it's not a bad thing if you shim your bed
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:09 AM - Bill Monroe: but you need to be square
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:10 AM - Bill Monroe: and the table design is so weak, it often is a problem when running naked
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:10 AM - jim3Dbot: I spent alot of time screwing with the auto.....just can't seem to see its importance..maybe it will dawn on me some day..thats why I'm just a learning lurker.....
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Bill Monroe: one should never rely on software to fix a hardware problem
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:11 AM - Mike Kelly: jim because the glass bed does not have an easy method of manual tramming
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: you can do it by shimming the magnets though
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 AM - jim3Dbot: understand, but why does it change its 'flatness' or is that a stupid question..thanks mike
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:13 AM - Mike Kelly: what do you mean
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:14 AM - jim3Dbot: autolevel tweaks the software to compensate the 9pts for distant 'tween the tip & bed' why does it need autolev each time
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: because it doesn't store those values
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: also the machine doesn't have a way of knowing if it's been fiddled with
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 AM - jim3Dbot: why does it not store the val's
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 AM - Mike Kelly: see previous
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 AM - jbigler1986: eeprom writing is disabled on stock
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:16 AM - jbigler1986: autolevel is good if you have the correct hardware
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: it also works better when you don't have such a large span between the sensing point and the sensor
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:17 AM - jim3Dbot: sooo, if robo is not fiddled with, printed same stuff, saved auto's, then no need to auto each time,maybe 10x
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: that's mattercontrols principle
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:18 AM - Mike Kelly: i don't like that though
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jim3Dbot: agree.....big distances....add accumulative error
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: MK you should be th tester for that IR sensor
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: gladly
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: lemme know how to buy it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: i would love to move to solid state
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 AM - jim3Dbot: seen the new dual iR's for leveling, may be promising
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: the principle is sound
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:20 AM - jbigler1986: well he said there should be a US supplier soon. more info this week or next
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:20 AM - jim3Dbot: sounds like a reverse engineering job...
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:20 AM - jim3Dbot: simple PCB
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: if you have a way of making PCB's be my guest
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:21 AM - jim3Dbot: can do
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:23 AM - Mike Kelly: https://miscsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/2015-05-08-15-05-02-e1431094032261.jpg lemme know when you have it available, thanks
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:23 AM - jim3Dbot: Layed out many brds with OrCad...using Design Spark for .stl design now, it has a free companion software for creating gerber files & excellon drill files'
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:25 AM - jim3Dbot: I can make that for you...do you have the board
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: it looks to be single sided
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jim3Dbot: okay, I'll look closer at the design...SMT parts...in the past, I would hot air the smt parts off, then scan both sides of the PCB...create a .bmp file..import to autocad......convert to .dxf file...then import to Orcad to create PCB
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 AM - jim3Dbot: simple cheat...my way
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: hah
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 AM - Mike Kelly: i'd rather buy it from him lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: uses some kinda atmel chip
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:29 AM - jbigler1986: yeah. lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:29 AM - jbigler1986: what is he selling them for? like $30?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:29 AM - jim3Dbot: sounds harder than it is......works if you need more than 10 pieces
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:31 AM - Mike Kelly: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:950478
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:31 AM - Mike Kelly: you'd probably need whatever source code he runs as well
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:31 AM - jim3Dbot: atmel smt, board, and parts $5.00, but your right one piece not cost effective....10-20 pieces maybe
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Mike Kelly: https://github.com/dc42/OrmerodSens...aticAndPCB/Mini-differential-IR/schematic.png
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:32 AM - Mike Kelly: and https://github.com/dc42/OrmerodSensorBoard/tree/master/Firmware/Mini-differential-IR
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:34 AM - jbigler1986: nice
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:34 AM - Mike Kelly: 32.52 for worldwide shipping
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:35 AM - Mike Kelly: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19369680/2015-05-07 21.49.55.jpg another picture
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:36 AM - jim3Dbot: Cannot that source code be loaded into micro, thru the USB with tiny programming brd...not sure..I've done it wuth the arduino & sound card
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:36 AM - jbigler1986: probably can

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 8:37 AM - jbigler1986: a teensy can probably do it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:38 AM - jim3Dbot: Code not my thing, but i hav wade thru it many times.....hardware is my thing...
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:40 AM - jim3Dbot: pcb is double sided, no inner layers...pic's good...open source or no?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:41 AM - jim3Dbot: schematic makes duplicate easy.......
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:41 AM - jbigler1986: make it and i will buy one
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:41 AM - Mike Kelly: you'd need to poke around his github i'm sure
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:42 AM - jbigler1986: if it's less than $30
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:42 AM - Mike Kelly: i'll pay tree biddy
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:43 AM - jim3Dbot: I will investigate....brd appears to be 1/2" x 1"
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah he has the dimensions on it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:44 AM - jim3Dbot: duhhh
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: If the bottom left corner of the board is position (0, 0) then other points on the board are at the following coordinates, in mm: Top right corner (24.0, 17.62) Mounting hole centres (2.70, 14.92) and (21.11, 14.92) Mounting hole diameter 2.8
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:44 AM - Mike Kelly: what are these archaic units you're using
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:45 AM - jim3Dbot: I almost caught myself but it was too late....
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:46 AM - jim3Dbot: if I had 12 fingers, it would make sense
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:46 AM - Mike Kelly: https://github.com/dc42/OrmerodSensorBoard/tree/master/SchematicAndPCB i think he has the pcb layout available
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:47 AM - Mike Kelly: https://github.com/dc42/OrmerodSensorBoard/tree/master/SchematicAndPCB/Version1-IR-ultrasonic maybe in here?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:48 AM - Mike Kelly: doesn't look like it i guess
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:50 AM - jim3Dbot: Seems to be the excellon drill file...need to look more closely.....the files he has can be used to greate the drill file......for me it would be more easy to layout the board again, under a day & create new gerber files with drill table
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:51 AM - jim3Dbot: generate
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:52 AM - donhuevo: not sure what your combined hourly rates are but I think you've already blown the budget on this thing
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:53 AM - jim3Dbot: retired, just the challange, unless you were selling a few.....
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:53 AM - jim3Dbot: challenge?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:56 AM - jim3Dbot: A panelized board about 10 x 8, will yield quite a few break-off pcb's, for about $10, I hav a IR SMT oven for reflow, set-up for this kinda stuff...
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:57 AM - Mike Kelly: well get on it man!
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:57 AM - Mike Kelly: i expect a product by COB friday
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Mike Glass: what are we making?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Blake Benefield: Well, it's no Robo, but the HIC assembly is underway.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Mike Kelly: let's see a pic blake
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:59 AM - Mike Glass: it seems to be packaged really nice.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:00 AM - Blake Benefield: ill shoot them to MG if thats good, can't upload atm
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:00 AM - donhuevo: congrats Blake!
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:00 AM - Mike Kelly: sure
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:00 AM - Mike Kelly: i like the imgur app
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:01 AM - donhuevo: ^
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: http://blog.atmel.com/2014/10/22/megaavr-powers-this-steampunk-vfd-wristwatch/ i also like the looks of this one
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:01 AM - Blake Benefield: its a firewall issue
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:01 AM - jim3Dbot: Bareboards from china, order cheap from there, email files by Friday.....end of month...wish me luck...
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:01 AM - Mike Kelly: i guess i figure everyone here has a smart phone and data plan
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:03 AM - jbigler1986: yeah i want to see the hic as well
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:03 AM - Mike Glass: They dont have those in Alabama
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:04 AM - jbigler1986: yep. i'm on wifi most of the time too
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:04 AM - Mike Glass:
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:06 AM - Mike Glass:
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: is it missing one fo the blocks?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:06 AM - Blake Benefield: The Y carriage endstop doesn't hit anything atm... And since this is the aluminum frame I can't find a video showing the setup
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - daniel871: Sure looks like it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Blake Benefield: nope, has 1 on 1 side and 2 on the other
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - jbigler1986: think it only has 3
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: odd
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - daniel871: That's weird.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - daniel871: You'd think you'd have 4 for balancing it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - donhuevo: 3 is odd
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - donhuevo: good catch
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Glass: no your odd
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - daniel871: Unless it's a "Good enough".
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - donhuevo: true
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:07 AM - daniel871: What about his odd?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:08 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:08 AM - jbigler1986: you only adjust in 3 spots for bed level
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Blake Benefield: instructions said it prevents binding and to think of it as a "V" configuration
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Blake Benefield: carriage is just a carriage JB, has independent 4 corner levelings
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Mike Glass: Thats what I ♡ you don.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:10 AM - donhuevo: awe
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:10 AM - Mike Glass: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:10 AM - Bill Monroe: I hate those corner blocks
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:11 AM - daniel871: The bullet box I printed came apart yesterday.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Blake Benefield: me too Bill
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Bill Monroe: who's extrusion is that? do you know?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Blake Benefield: I was telling Mike i'd much rather have slip in corners with a set screw
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:11 AM - Bill Monroe: there's something MUCH better, if it's 80/20
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:12 AM - Mike Glass: I say just weld it
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:12 AM - jbigler1986: problem solved. until you want to take it apart
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:12 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, if you can weld and keep it from distorting, that rocks
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:12 AM - daniel871: What about controlling the warping? Not everyone is all that good at welding.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Bill Monroe: it's all about good fixturing and heat control
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Mike Glass:
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Bill Monroe: but 80/20 has an awesome connector that will hold just as well
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:14 AM - daniel871: What am I looking at?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:14 AM - daniel871: Is that a mirror?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Glass: steampunk printer
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Bill Monroe: someone's burrito dream of a printer
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Glass: you can use mirrors
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:14 AM - daniel871: Figured they'd break too easily.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Kelly: na
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Glass: pretty thick
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Kelly: mirrors are really common actually
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Bill Monroe: some people use smoke with their mirrors
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Glass: any glass will work really
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Bill Monroe: you know.. startup college grades that kit them in Chinca
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Bill Monroe: err China
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - daniel871: Chinca, lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Glass: is that china, california
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Bill Monroe: uhh.. yes, yes it is
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:16 AM - daniel871: Got another email about that "Blow shit up with Arnold" contest.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:16 AM - Bill Monroe: right next to the men's penal colony.. were most startup reprap clone sellers should be
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:17 AM - daniel871: They've upped the contest to where you right around with Arnold in a tank and blow up stuff on a course.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:17 AM - Bill Monroe: in HIS tank
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:17 AM - daniel871: Yeah.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:17 AM - daniel871: ride, not right, sheesh.

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 9:17 AM - daniel871: Wonder what kind of tank he has.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:18 AM - Bill Monroe: i met him when he was governor touring the community colleges.. seems like he'd be fun to hang with
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:18 AM - Bill Monroe: it's the tank he actually drove as a teen when he was in the army.. somehow he found it and had it restored
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:18 AM - daniel871: An M-47, oh boy.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:18 AM - Blake Benefield: It's 1515 T-Slot
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:18 AM - Bill Monroe: uses it for fundraising
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Blake Benefield: hiwin? i think
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Bill Monroe: so it's 80/20 brand?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - daniel871: A mother fn Patton tank.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - daniel871: Hahaha.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Bill Monroe: oh.. i dunno if the connectors are compatible.. probably is
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Blake Benefield: no idea bill
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:19 AM - Blake Benefield: looks identical to this http://www.8020.net/1515-LS-Pop-Up.htm
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:20 AM - Bill Monroe: the ones i like arent for the average guy.. requires the ends to be prefectly square and a pocket to be milled in just the right place, and an odd size diameter.. but once you're set up.. they can not be beat
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:20 AM - daniel871: Yeah, apparently Arnold is one of the cool celebrities to meet somewhere.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Bill Monroe: i know the dealer here will make them for you mail order, dont knwo what it coest though
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:21 AM - donhuevo: have to say I'm happy with openbuilds v-slot so far
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:21 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, turns out the CNC teacher at the college use to compete with him.. was fun to watch those two go off on each other
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:22 AM - daniel871: I'd like to see a proper movie with Arnold and Dwayne Johnson in it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:22 AM - daniel871: That brief "passing the torch" thing in The Rundown doesn't count.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Bill Monroe: Look at the bottom of page 223 : http://download.8020.net/2012_Product_Catalog/Fractional_Section_3_8020_Catalog_18.pdf
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:25 AM - Bill Monroe: "anchor Fasteners
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:27 AM - Blake Benefield: Could probably just tap the center hole and use a machine screw
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:28 AM - jbigler1986: I think it's national leave work early day
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:28 AM - donhuevo: not a bad idea jb.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:28 AM - AxisLab: If you see that scallywag Printed solid around here, tell him I'm not speaking to him http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/printed-solid-made-me-cry.6520/
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:29 AM - Mike Kelly: lmao

Aug 13, 2015 at 9:34 AM - AxisLab: I'm going to mail em back to him.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:35 AM - JeffTheMess: next time you guys order from printed solid leave a comment please leave unopened gummies
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:35 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: according to my wife, being infamous is being famous for a bad thing
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: ie hitler was infamous
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:36 AM - Mike Kelly: "gummy bears are not equal to hitler lol"
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:37 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:37 AM - AxisLab: Well they're not high on my good list today, so I'm not editing it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:38 AM - Mike Kelly: so today they are infamous!
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:39 AM - jbigler1986: heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:39 AM - AxisLab: Stupid hitler bears.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: lmao
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:40 AM - jbigler1986: My boss in't here today so that means I don't have to be right?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:40 AM - Mike Kelly: that's my general rule
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:41 AM - jbigler1986: Just finished his presentation for the NFL next week, Dont have shit to do now
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Mike Glass: I heard those gummy bears will give you the shits like crazy.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:43 AM - Blake Benefield: The sugar free ones do
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM - jbigler1986: ^
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Blake Benefield: http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Sugar-Free-Gummy-Bears/product-reviews/B008JELLCA
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM - JeffTheMess: constipation
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM - AxisLab: Those amazon reviews are the best.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM - Mike Glass: haha yea I read those are funny
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM - AxisLab: But that's the 5 pound bag too, people are eating handfulls
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Mike Kelly: we'll ship you a bag of those to make up for your misfortune
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:45 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Axis how is the the newest printer?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:45 AM - AxisLab: I'd find lots of good use for em
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:46 AM - AxisLab: I like it. Good buy. Little quirks, but happy with it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Blake Benefield: serving size is like 15... if you eat 30 its basically time for colonblow
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Mike Kelly: what you got?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:46 AM - Mike Glass: Did you do a review yet?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:46 AM - AxisLab: One of the wanhao i3's
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:47 AM - AxisLab: not yet
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:48 AM - Mike Glass: THat S5 looks crazy
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:49 AM - AxisLab: I like how open it is. Bad for airflow, but great for events and makerfairs and stuff.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:49 AM - AxisLab: People don't need to peek in.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:49 AM - AxisLab: The 5s I mean
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:50 AM - jbigler1986: Netflix at work? Yes please
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:52 AM - JeffTheMess: netflix=BLOCKED
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Mike Kelly: my work doesn't block anything because no one besides me knows how to block things
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:53 AM - Bill Monroe: wow.. the I3 is the R1 killer
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - JeffTheMess: nice
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: robo is basically a weird mix of the I3 and the mendel90 but removing the back support and flipping the Y axis motion
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Bill Monroe: that price gets it into the xmas gift zone
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - jbigler1986:
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - JeffTheMess: (plus price)
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - jbigler1986: that looks wrongs
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - JeffTheMess: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM - Mike Kelly: very
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Bill Monroe: i thought justin would notice that
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Mike Kelly: what on earth is that even for
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:55 AM - jbigler1986: no idea
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:55 AM - AxisLab: For after the gummy bears.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:55 AM - Mike Glass: probably made on the DG site
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:55 AM - JeffTheMess: for your dildo company jb lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:56 AM - AxisLab: Eat the 5 pound bag and you can turn yourself into a rocket.
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:56 AM - JeffTheMess: ^
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:57 AM - jbigler1986: you guys
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:58 AM - JeffTheMess: yum 1 year warranty!
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Blake Benefield: how is the y axis flipped MG?
Aug 13, 2015 at 9:59 AM - Mike Kelly: https://plus.google.com/u/1/+JackHouweling/posts/7FnANmw2AyJ?cfem=1 neat
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: now add an option to reverse the flow and cause a vacuum
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: blake on the robo the Y axis bearings are secured to the frame and the rods secured to the glass

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 10:00 AM - Mike Kelly: on the i3 the rods are fixed to the frame and the bearings secure to the glass
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Blake Benefield: gotcha. is there an advantage?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Blake Benefield: Seems easy enough to swap around if needed
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:01 AM - jbigler1986: do you have it complete yet?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:01 AM - Mike Kelly: the advantage of the robo method is the shipping volume of a complete printer is less
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: since the bed extends out of the printer in use but packages nicely for shipping
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:02 AM - Mike Kelly: the i3 method is more rigid and preferred
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Blake Benefield: So basically it simplified distribution and didn't negatively affect printing
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:03 AM - Mike Kelly: essentially
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:07 AM - Blake Benefield: I've got to figure out the Y end stop when I get home
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:08 AM - Blake Benefield: I sorta wish the belt bearing (pulley) had a tension adjustment too. Would make things easier
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:09 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm not familiar with what method the i3 uses
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:10 AM - Blake Benefield: well the issue is the regular I3 uses a sheet frame.. this one is all extruded so its different
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:11 AM - JeffTheMess: how fast is that thing
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:11 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah but i'm pretty sure the mechanical aspects are basically the same
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:12 AM - Blake Benefield: basically but you have a solid frame instead of 2 bars. So instead of parts being between 2 bars they are made with T slots
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:15 AM - Blake Benefield: Robo-ish Jeff?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:16 AM - JeffTheMess: the extruder is huge
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:17 AM - Blake Benefield: the whole assembly you mean?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Blake Benefield: I think that may be because it comes as a dual fan setup
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:18 AM - AxisLab: That vid has an aftermarket fan setup
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:18 AM - AxisLab: The whole rig is smaller than robos
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:18 AM - JeffTheMess: yeah
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:18 AM - Blake Benefield: what is aftermarket there Axis?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:19 AM - AxisLab: Swapped fans and the shroud is different
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:19 AM - Blake Benefield: Dunno. Looks about the same as what came in my kit
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:21 AM - AxisLab: You have a blower fan on yours?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Blake Benefield: not assembled yet but yeah it came with it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Blake Benefield: and a pretty little printed duct for it
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:23 AM - AxisLab: Stock for mine was just a 25mm http://i.imgur.com/e6usQRP.jpg
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Blake Benefield: I just got the Y carriage assembled last night
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:23 AM - AxisLab: sry, big picture
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:24 AM - Blake Benefield: That appears to be the old version with the prusa style frame
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:24 AM - AxisLab: Wait, they changed the frame already?
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:25 AM - Blake Benefield: yeah. My frame is all 1515 aluminum
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:25 AM - Blake Benefield: http://www.hic3dprinter.com/productshow.asp?ArticleID=0&id=18&cid=001
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Blake Benefield: If you don't mind man, would you take a pic or 2 of the Y endstop and what it hits? My endstop doesn't hit anything after I aligned it
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:27 AM - AxisLab: Oh I thought you were saying you had the Wanhao
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:27 AM - AxisLab: https://www.google.com/search?espv=...j2.2.0....0...1.1.64.img..0.2.252.ag3LKPbuZCc

Aug 13, 2015 at 10:51 AM - daniel871: Between .1-.4 layer sickness.
Aug 13, 2015 at 10:53 AM - daniel871: That Z offset is plaguing people something fierce.
Aug 13, 2015 at 11:08 AM - daniel871:
Aug 13, 2015 at 11:16 AM - jbigler1986: nice

Aug 13, 2015 at 12:42 PM - Blake Benefield: HF stuff is ok, but you can never trust the marked measurements

Aug 13, 2015 at 12:51 PM - Blake Benefield: LOL
Aug 13, 2015 at 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: so you want a metal cutting lathe/
Aug 13, 2015 at 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: Could adapt steppers to it

Aug 13, 2015 at 12:52 PM - daniel871: Save up some money, rather.
Aug 13, 2015 at 12:52 PM - daniel871: Or use Amazon Credit and pay for it by the time it ships.
Aug 13, 2015 at 12:53 PM - Mike Kelly: wow
Aug 13, 2015 at 12:54 PM - Mike Glass: Damn you daniel

Aug 13, 2015 at 12:57 PM - Mike Kelly: i can't tell if the mill head moves
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:00 PM - Blake Benefield: it rotates and drops MK
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:00 PM - daniel871: Looks like you move the part with the carriage underneath the head. Possibly remove the lathe chuck if you can't get close enough and treat it like a drill press.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:01 PM - daniel871:
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:01 PM - daniel871: Back side angle

Aug 13, 2015 at 1:05 PM - Mike Kelly: degree of freedom
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:06 PM - Mike Kelly: granted there's not a lot of situations where you'
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:06 PM - Mike Kelly: you'll want to be running the lathe and mill in unison

Aug 13, 2015 at 1:18 PM - toy: its the kronos
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:18 PM - Blake Benefield: I can probably get you the mechmate drawings
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:19 PM - daniel871: They're kind of proud of the kronos book.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:20 PM - Blake Benefield: think the mechmate stuff is like $100
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:20 PM - daniel871: Hey toy, you know anyone that has built the kronos, or was that a joke about the name?
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:21 PM - daniel871: The kronos books are $179.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:21 PM - daniel871: +$25 if you want full scale templates to be sent to you with the book.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:23 PM - daniel871: I think the kronos is so massive so you can scale out on build limits to the 50" x 102" x 6" machining area.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:23 PM - daniel871: (without losing support strength)
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:23 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah that's enormous
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:25 PM - daniel871: Plenty of room for a vacuum table later.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:27 PM - daniel871: toy should build one, then sandwich a heating system between the table on that and his big titanium sheet he was talking about and put a print head on it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:27 PM - toy: my 50 x 50 cnc i want to build is based losely off the kronos, and no i have never met anyone who has built one
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:27 PM - Mike Kelly: he's gonna use it to make tiko nozzles
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:28 PM - Mike Kelly: has anyone ever investigated just how ridiculous of an idea it is to make a basement larger
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:28 PM - toy: instead of the 3 x 8020 3" square i was gonna use steel square tubing
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:29 PM - daniel871: Everyone that bought into Cold War hysteria?
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:29 PM - daniel871: "ever" is a pretty wide area to consider.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:30 PM - Mike Kelly: i think more the anyone meant "anyone here"
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:31 PM - Mike Glass: lot of people do it here Mike.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:32 PM - Mike Glass: friend of mine did it by 5 gallon buckets at a time.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:32 PM - Mike Kelly: we love our house location but wish it had some changes to it
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:32 PM - toy: i called a local surface grinding place, and he said about 500$ to grind it flat to .001"
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:33 PM - toy: i hung up on him
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:33 PM - toy: for my 18" x 12" x .22" grade 5 titanium.... 500$ that is crazy talk
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:34 PM - daniel871: Probably throwing the cost of tooling to do it in there.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:34 PM - Mike Glass: just rent a big ole floor sander.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:34 PM - toy: stone?
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:37 PM - daniel871: Maybe he misunderstood you and thought you wanted a .001" thick sheet left when he was done?
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:38 PM - daniel871: Not sure if this link will work. http://www.mcmaster.com/#9039k26/=yhcgva
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:39 PM - daniel871: Here is the one with certification http://www.mcmaster.com/#1033n45/=yhchyu
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:39 PM - daniel871: Not sure what they certify, but there it is.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:39 PM - Mike Glass: what would you use it for?
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:40 PM - daniel871: I think toy wants to make a heated bed with it.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:40 PM - daniel871: If I remember correctly from the last time he talked abou tit.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:40 PM - daniel871: I miss being able to edit.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:40 PM - Mike Glass: lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:42 PM - Mike Kelly: he's making the built in space 3d printer
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:43 PM - daniel871: What was that nozzle that took 3 filament feeds? I think that was being discussed too.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:49 PM - daniel871: Hahaha.
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:49 PM - daniel871:
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:50 PM - daniel871: (think it's actually up around 40 now though)
Aug 13, 2015 at 1:54 PM - daniel871: We need to add this smiley to the forums on September 1st:
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:03 PM - Mike Kelly: damn dude
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:03 PM - Mike Kelly: isn't that called the diamond hot end
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Mike Kelly: http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...r-craftware-1-11-has-just-been-released.6518/ alright who's gonna guinea pig
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:17 PM - Kevin Nguyen: not me lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:17 PM - Kevin Nguyen: i like my simplify3d
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:20 PM - daniel871: If I had a Craftbot I'd try Craftware. But I already bought S3D and have a base process for dual extruding so.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:21 PM - daniel871: Diamond Hot End for printing a Diamond Dogs insignia.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:23 PM - Kevin Nguyen: so is the z lead upgrade worth it for the r1?
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: if you have ribbing, yes
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:25 PM - Mike Glass: and you like pretty shiney things
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:25 PM - Kevin Nguyen: i think ill get that before i work on dual extruding anymore
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: good plan
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: better value added upgrade
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:26 PM - Mike Glass: Well worth it IMO
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:27 PM - Mike Glass: THe HC will fail eventually
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:31 PM - Mike Kelly: so who's going to do an RGB mod?
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:32 PM - Kevin Nguyen: what rgb mod?
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:33 PM - Mike Kelly: http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/realtime-led-tempurature-feedback.6474/
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:34 PM - Kevin Nguyen: ooohh if i had my old led strip i threw out i would do this
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:35 PM - Mike Kelly: i just ordered some off banggood, 8 strips for like 2.30
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:35 PM - Kevin Nguyen: i had 15meters of it, but i didnt think i needed them
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:37 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.banggood.com/8-x-WS2812-LED-strip-5050-RGB-for-Arduino-Trinket-Gemma-p-978363.html
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:37 PM - Mike Kelly: why would you throw an led strip away
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:37 PM - Printed Solid: That led mod seems kind of lame to me.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:37 PM - Kevin Nguyen: i didnt toos them in the garbage but gave them to a friend
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:37 PM - Kevin Nguyen: toss*
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:38 PM - Bill Monroe: I'm with Matt.. the LCD already has the intel
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:38 PM - Printed Solid: although I'll admit, I still have plenty of pieces propped up with random scraps and never bothered building a case. Function = important.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:39 PM - Printed Solid: do any of you guys run the full graphics LCD?
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:39 PM - Bill Monroe: <-- XXL
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: i bought 2, haven't installed it on a printer but did set up my benchtop to use it
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:40 PM - Kevin Nguyen: <-- needs an xxl
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:41 PM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: which the cool stuff ziggy was doing on the graphics i've been considering putting the graphics on my main printer
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:43 PM - Printed Solid: I had a huge job and actually had to borrow a friend's Robo that has the full graphics. I was really surprised at how laggy it was. I don't recall it being like that when I had tested it on my kickstarter Robo.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm laggy that's interesting

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: laggy in the response time between clicks? or screen updates
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:45 PM - Bill Monroe: I'm still wondering what makes it "full grpahics" looks pretty much like 80's greenscreen graphics to me
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: it's got a big ego
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:47 PM - Kevin Nguyen: ^^
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:49 PM - Mike Glass: Mine is laggy also
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:50 PM - Printed Solid: I've got like 30 Full graphics I bought on accident that I'm pretty eager to get rid of, so if you know anyone looking, let me know.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:50 PM - Mike Glass: But for $12 it works
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:50 PM - Bill Monroe: need someone to throw together an LED screen with a video
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. the XXL is pricey realativly, but I can see if from across the Lab
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Printed Solid: Hm. maybe it's my brain... Is the shoutbox ALSO lagging or anyone else? I'm only updating when I post
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: what are you asking for them printed
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: i get that sometime
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Printed Solid: k
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Bill Monroe: mine seems to be ok.. maybe you're just typing something at the same time someone else
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Mike Kelly: any chance you're signed in elsewhere? i feel like that might cause it
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Printed Solid: I don't think so, but maybe.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Bill Monroe: hey, that's a good line.. hafta remember that
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Bill Monroe: Honey, I bought another plane.. on accident
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Printed Solid: haha.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Printed Solid: It wasn't very funny when I had a bunch of XXLs and opened the box!
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Printed Solid: Mike, I have them dropped to 45 now. These are the reprapdiscounts that sell for $69 at their site.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Printed Solid: @MG is someone really selling them for $12 and they actually work?
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Mike Glass: Folgertech sells them
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Printed Solid: ah. folgertec
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Mike Glass: I got a sainsmart on amazon
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Mike Kelly: http://robotdigg.com/product/346/Smart+controller+LCD+12864 i got this one, it seems to work but the buzzer sounds bad
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Mike Glass: Thay are all based off the 12864
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Kevin Nguyen: This would be nice but raspberry pi 2 ((( http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Mod...d=1439503247&sr=8-33-spons&keywords=sainsmart

Aug 13, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Printed Solid: I might just try to ebay the batch this weekend. Any of you on here now ebay masters?
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Mike Glass: mine says reprapdiscount on the board
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Printed Solid: Yeah, not a lot of people seem to abide by the license on the open source files for that board.
Aug 13, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Mike Kelly: in china open source = free source
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:00 PM - Printed Solid: right.

Aug 13, 2015 at 3:06 PM - Mike Glass: Now I just need a printer to use my nylon..lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:07 PM - Mike Glass: this one is purple and has a metal container on the side. like $12

Aug 13, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Mike Glass: this is much bigger then my airbrush.
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Bill Monroe: how does it compare to a rattle can?
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:13 PM - jbigler1986: blake better have that printer put together by the end of the night
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:13 PM - Mike Glass: It doesnt rattle

Aug 13, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: sorry for your loss
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:35 PM - Mike Glass: can you use a mill as a lathe?
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:36 PM - Mike Kelly: i would advise against it
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:36 PM - Mike Glass: Can I make a hobb bolt on a mill?
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:37 PM - Blake Benefield: can YOU make one on a lathe?
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:37 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:37 PM - Mike Kelly: tom has a video on making a hobb bolt on a mill
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:38 PM - Mike Glass: I guess if you had a way to turn it
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:39 PM - Mike Glass: and I have a somewhat of a mill now. Lathe I dont
Aug 13, 2015 at 3:39 PM - Mike Glass: and the jet is both anyways

Aug 13, 2015 at 4:49 PM - Blake Benefield: You seriously about to buy a mill?
Aug 13, 2015 at 4:49 PM - Mike Glass: I dont need one?
Aug 13, 2015 at 4:50 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01077IK3E?psc=1 how about this one.
Aug 13, 2015 at 4:51 PM - Blake Benefield: I think when it says "hardwoods can ALSO be done" its a bit underpowered
Aug 13, 2015 at 4:53 PM - Mike Glass: I dont care about wood, I have a shopsmith.

Aug 13, 2015 at 5:05 PM - bamhm182: Hey guys
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:06 PM - bamhm182: MG/MK, either of you think about trying to turn your MPCNC into an SLA printer?
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:06 PM - Mike Glass: how so?
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:07 PM - bamhm182: Maybe I don't know enough about SLA, but it seems to me like you would just be able to strap a uv light to the carriage and create a system to fill a container under the printer
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Mike Glass: it doesnt have a very long z axis
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Mike Glass: only about 6 inches
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Mike Glass: unless you had a hole in middle suppose it could work.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Mike Glass: I would use a dlp projector
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:11 PM - bamhm182: I was mostly just thing about things that are really wide, but I suppose you could build downward
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:12 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it wouldn't be a good platform for SLA
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:12 PM - Mike Kelly: with SLA you're using pointing the laser up at the bottom of a clear vat of resin
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:12 PM - Mike Kelly: then you lift the cured part out
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:13 PM - Mike Kelly: and repeat
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:14 PM - Mike Kelly: MG i got my dewalt
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:14 PM - Mike Kelly: http://i.imgur.com/H5FdPvg.jpg i'm guessing that's just a dust protector?
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:15 PM - Mike Kelly: also can you send me your router holder solidworks file
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:18 PM - Mike Glass: I has lights cool.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:19 PM - Mike Glass: I didnt do it in solidworks, I did it in meshmixer, I just joined 2 stl files.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it does
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:19 PM - bamhm182: I thought SLA worked with a slowly rising vat of liquid and a light shining on the top
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:19 PM - Mike Kelly: oh
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:19 PM - Mike Glass: light from the bottom, laser or dlp
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:21 PM - Mike Glass: what is the dimentions of that MK
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:21 PM - bamhm182: Oh, not sure what I'm thinking then, haha
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:21 PM - Mike Glass: Diamentions for the base
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:22 PM - Mike Glass: god i cant spell today
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:22 PM - Mike Kelly: it weights like 1.7kg
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:22 PM - Mike Kelly: 70mm diameter
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:22 PM - Mike Kelly: grip section is like 113mm
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:23 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm very tempted to open the top and pull the control elements off it
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:24 PM - Mike Glass: let me see what mine is.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:26 PM - bamhm182: So you mean more progress on your MPCNC, MK?
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:26 PM - Mike Glass: looks like mine is 70.50mm
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:26 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i got my router in today
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:27 PM - Mike Kelly: mg talked me into a dewalt
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:28 PM - Mike Glass: better then buying the tool and the handpiece for the same amount, way faster cutting speeds, I ripped through some wood with mine.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:28 PM - Mike Glass: I cant wait for my new collet and nut to arrive.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:29 PM - Mike Kelly: last thing i need to buy is some bits
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:29 PM - Mike Glass: those are dirt cheap
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:29 PM - Mike Glass: ebay
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:29 PM - Mike Glass: drillman1 seller
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:29 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:30 PM - Mike Glass: I got a plexiglass one I got from him I need to try
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:31 PM - Mike Glass: im going to build a hologram display using a monitor.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:31 PM - Mike Kelly: neat
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:32 PM - Mike Glass: instead of a phone..lol to damn small
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:32 PM - bamhm182: I was also thinking about getting the dewalt
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:32 PM - bamhm182: So the Peachy works like I was talking about. That is the kind of setup I was thinking of
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:33 PM - Mike Kelly: so mg should i just buy a 1/8" adapter
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:34 PM - Mike Glass: yea thats all you really need or just buy 1/4 bits
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:34 PM - Mike Glass: its harder to find those in the smaller v grooves and other bits though
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:37 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30-degree-a...oring-tools-/381288056607?hash=item58c68a071f so something like this is worth it?
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:39 PM - Mike Glass: could be but you cant go very deep with the 1/4 bits on small projects, even at 15" that I do its borderline to fat on text.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:40 PM - Mike Kelly: man there's so many options
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:42 PM - Mike Glass: I skyped you what he sent me that he uses
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:43 PM - Mike Glass: I think my bom had some as well, and they work great.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:45 PM - Mike Kelly: what file did you start with for designing the router holder

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 5:48 PM - Mike Glass: his blank tool holder
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:49 PM - Mike Glass: and the bosch tool holder on thingiverse
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:49 PM - Mike Glass: Mine is rude but seems to work, till I have time to sit down and design it right.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:51 PM - Blake Benefield: Justpla order arrived....
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:51 PM - Blake Benefield: They shipped abs instead!
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 PM - Mike Glass: yay..lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 PM - Mike Glass: then its not justpla, it call justabs
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:52 PM - Blake Benefield: Which is a workout video
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:58 PM - daniel871: If you lived near me I'd offer to swap som PLA spools for those ABS spools. Everything I want to do requires something more durable than PLA.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:58 PM - daniel871: Just ordered some JustABS earlier this week.
Aug 13, 2015 at 5:59 PM - Mike Glass: I think pla is more rigid then abs
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:21 PM - Harry: Hey all

Aug 13, 2015 at 6:30 PM - Mike Glass: wait a minute you said 499
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: Thats going to be the refurb price soon. Not exactly a discount.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:31 PM - Mike Glass: they have to dump the old ones, get ready for the new R1+
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:31 PM - Harry: happy mike? fixed it lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:31 PM - Harry: and yup thats all JB sorry
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:32 PM - jbigler1986: No reason to apologize
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:33 PM - jbigler1986: Hictop here i come. Wont be long before its frankensteined anyways
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:33 PM - Mike Glass: dont worry jb you will get yours back this century

Aug 13, 2015 at 6:35 PM - jbigler1986: Well we had one lat friday but it had to be continued. Damnit
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:36 PM - Blake Benefield: He lies JB. I made 2 offers at $520! Lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:36 PM - jbigler1986: Well you didnt offer 500
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:36 PM - Harry: when did you do that blake?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:37 PM - Harry: blake, if you make an offer at 500 right now Braydon said he'll accept it
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:37 PM - Blake Benefield: 470 the first time to make it 500 even but thought that may be low.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:37 PM - Blake Benefield: Let me look
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:38 PM - jbigler1986: He already bought a printer
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:39 PM - jbigler1986: He bought 2 3d pens. Dual extrusion all the way
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:40 PM - Harry: JB what price are you looking for btw?
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:41 PM - jbigler1986: Around 4
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:41 PM - Harry: oh ok
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:41 PM - Harry: yea no can do. lowest is 500 we are going on these period
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:42 PM - jbigler1986: Would do the printrbot play but the build volume is holding me back on that
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:43 PM - Harry: i honestly think you should just get a refurb man- a lot of them are as good as new or even never printed on before (besides inhouse testing)
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:43 PM - Blake Benefield: Offer of 470 was made july 30th. 2nd offer of 520 was made Aug 1st. Then I ordered a printer via amazon the 3rd (not robo) it was out of stock so they refunded and i made another offer for 520 on aug 9th
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:45 PM - Harry: make an offer for 500 right now and he'll accept it
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:45 PM - Harry: we just are changing the pricing today
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:45 PM - Blake Benefield: Sorry. Made the offer the7th. It expired the 9th
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:46 PM - Harry: ah ok
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:46 PM - Harry: if you want to make an offer again, all i'm saying is he'll accept it
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:47 PM - Blake Benefield: I appreciate it. But ive already ordered a different unit. Ill for sure be keeping my eye on another though.
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:47 PM - Blake Benefield: I do want a Robo. The community resources you guys have here is awesome
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:48 PM - Harry: Sounds good man! And I appreciate it- we've been trying to put a lot towards it recently to really build it out
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:53 PM - Michael DiFilippo: offer of 500? I gotta be nosey what we talking bout

Aug 13, 2015 at 6:54 PM - Harry: depends on the printer- some of them are basically brand new and just have scratches others were returns. but no matter what it was all are opened, fixed, and tested by us here
Aug 13, 2015 at 6:54 PM - Harry: all in san diego

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:07 PM - Bill Monroe: to be honest, not impressed.. even the good one has enough slop to throw off the sensing I think
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:07 PM - Bill Monroe: ya.. supposed to be here tomorrow but got here today
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Mike Glass: well that sucks their not good.

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:17 PM - Blake Benefield: Entire frame is together... Will start x and z assembly after kids are asleep
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:18 PM - Bill Monroe: http://www.robotdigg.com/product/18/Anti-backlash+Nut+for+Tr8*8+Leadscrew

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:19 PM - Mike Glass: those arent the ones your ordered was it?
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:22 PM - Bill Monroe: no.. the others were from pololou
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:22 PM - Bill Monroe: and these are supposed zero backlash
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:23 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm going to order a couple to see.. if they're truly zero backlash, my circuit board router/engraver is feasible
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:37 PM - daniel871: Hm. 20 lb. spool of ABS for $260. http://www.ic3dprinters.com/shop/1-75mm-abs/abs-mega-spool-20lb/

Aug 13, 2015 at 7:40 PM - PeterkSharma: howdy
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:45 PM - PeterkSharma: what are taps and dies used for
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:47 PM - Mike Glass: threading holes or retaping
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:48 PM - Mike Glass: or to make your own screws
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:48 PM - Mike Glass: or cleaning them up
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:48 PM - PeterkSharma: gotch
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:52 PM - PeterkSharma: what does the text in red mean? that person was employed by robo?
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:54 PM - Mike Glass: yes Harry works for Robo
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:55 PM - PeterkSharma: thats cool to see them on the chatboox every now and then haha
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:56 PM - PeterkSharma: will abs print with with a glue stick or should i stick to the ABS glue?
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:56 PM - Mike Glass: I have never had luck, I use aquanet, abs glue is the best though
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:57 PM - Mike Glass: I switched to tape as I think my new bottle of hairspray is screwy, nothing will stick to the glass.
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:58 PM - Mike Glass: I use frog tape and can lay my first layer down at 40mm/s with out issue.
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:59 PM - PeterkSharma: what frog tape?
Aug 13, 2015 at 7:59 PM - PeterkSharma: I grabbed some PET havent used it yet
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 PM - Mike Glass: just painters tape
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 PM - Mike Glass: buy it at lowes
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 PM - PeterkSharma: gotcha, yea i've heard lots of good things about it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 PM - PeterkSharma: never printed with ABS yet, and someone asked me to print a quadcopter frame
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:01 PM - Mike Glass: nice when using abs slurry, just peal off when done
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:02 PM - Mike Glass: My bed is chipped also so thats when I started using tape
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:04 PM - PeterkSharma: yeah, I'm going to start making some glue
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 PM - PeterkSharma: I'm going to print this round in a PLA and see how it goes
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:05 PM - PeterkSharma: Mike have you printed with anything not PLA or ABS?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 PM - Mike Glass: some nylon, taulman, XT
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:07 PM - Mike Glass: T-Glase
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:08 PM - PeterkSharma: How do you like the T-Glase, I just picked some up and have yet to try it out on a print
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Mike Glass: I like it for stuff I make lights for, its super clear.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Mike Glass: but have only printed it with a .8 nozzle
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:10 PM - PeterkSharma: lights as in covers for lights?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:11 PM - Mike Glass: Rc lights so far.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:11 PM - PeterkSharma: hmm
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 PM - Mike Glass: I need to make a vase out of it to really let it shine
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 PM - PeterkSharma: I'm here in Washington and some guy here got me the roll of T-Glase to try and print him a bong with it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 PM - Mike Glass: lol, well it is food safe.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 PM - PeterkSharma: I want to try making a vacuum tube with it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:12 PM - nonmindo: Hey guys. I had a question about the hot end. I'm looking to upgrade to the E3Dv6, I also found an inexpensive small printer that comes with the E3Dv6 but it is bowden style... I was planning on swapping the hot ends.. My question is, is it easy to convert a bowden E3Dv6 to non bowden, and the robo hot end to bowden
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:13 PM - PeterkSharma: Yeah, Thats why we got the T-Glase and HD-Glass
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:14 PM - PeterkSharma: As I understand it has to do with where the motor is mounted. I'm sure it possible but yiu might need to do some designing and printing for yourself
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:14 PM - PeterkSharma: I would reccomend just getting the V6
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:14 PM - Mike Glass: you need an adaptor for the hex to make it bowden, then you need to make a new bowden extruder.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 PM - nonmindo: well its $91 for the E3Dv6 by itself, or i can get a whole other printer with small area 80x80x80mm for $179 lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 PM - PeterkSharma: link?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 PM - nonmindo: thats why i was looking at this other printer and thinking about swapping the hot ends...it kills 2 birds with one stone and affordable
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 PM - nonmindo: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/..._Printer_by_Tiny_Boy_Transparent_US_110V.html
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:15 PM - Mike Glass: its probably not a true E3Dv6, just a chinese rip off
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Mike Glass: that is a chinese rip off
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:16 PM - nonmindo: it looks like it has all the same fan ducts and everything
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Mike Glass: yes I know but its not a true E3DV6
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Mike Glass: look at the wattage.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:17 PM - nonmindo: hmmm....guess im going to have to be careful like i do with e-cigs......so many damn chinese cloners out there
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:18 PM - nonmindo: ahhhh i see ok, cool well... i guess ill go buy the hot end only lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:18 PM - PeterkSharma: Best bet you know your getting the real thing. I would grab an extra thermistor while your at it
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 PM - nonmindo: might still get the mini fabrikator tho, affordable enough and i can just gift it to a friend if i end up not liking it lol
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 PM - PeterkSharma: I broke my on the install and was pissed because i had to wait to get a new one
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 PM - PeterkSharma: check out http://www.peachyprinter.com/
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Mike Glass: im still stock on mine

Aug 13, 2015 at 8:20 PM - PeterkSharma: they look pretty cool. Z axis resolution of 1 micron
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Mike Glass: for $1000 no thanks
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:22 PM - PeterkSharma: no its 100!!
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Mike Glass: yea just for the board and galvo
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:24 PM - PeterkSharma: what else do you need beside the tank?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: a drip system
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:25 PM - PeterkSharma: lol guess I dont know as much about sla as i though. Whats the drip system do?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:26 PM - Mike Glass: wait it says it comes with it now.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:26 PM - Mike Glass: just adds more juice as it prints
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 PM - PeterkSharma: that as I understood it was everything you need to print for 100 bucks except a tank
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 PM - PeterkSharma: or they could build it for you
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:28 PM - PeterkSharma: printer tips for t-Glase?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:30 PM - Mike Glass: no too fast, and they say to fake the printer that it has a bigger nozzle
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:30 PM - Mike Glass: if you are looking for clearest possible
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:30 PM - PeterkSharma: like make the nozzle set at a larger hole?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:31 PM - nonmindo: as for that peachy, thats a neat printer....im actually waiting for the Spectrom color system for the robo(and other printers, but it was demoed on a robo)....thousands of color options!
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.taulman3d.com/t-glase-features.html
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Mike Glass: I just use clear pla and sharpie markers
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:33 PM - nonmindo: the spectrom system injects dye into the filament then feeds it to the printer via bowden
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:33 PM - Mike Glass: yep same concept
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:33 PM - nonmindo: http://spectrom3d.com/
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:34 PM - Mike Glass: there are a few companies doing it now
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:34 PM - PeterkSharma: you sharpie it before it prints?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:34 PM - PeterkSharma: thats a pretty neat trick
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:35 PM - nonmindo: I guess it is currently only capable of 64 colors, but by the time they RTM it is going to have, or be upgradable to thousands of colors.... they also say "consumer friendly pricing" so im guessing its gonna be like $400-$600 lol.... yea i saw only multi filiment extruders or systems that melt multiple colors of filament together to get multi colored prints....none that actually inject the dye
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:35 PM - Mike Glass: yep, hold 2 different colors or 2 the same.
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:36 PM - nonmindo: that IS a neat trick....have you noticed any extra cleaning of the hot end being needed from ink being left behind?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Mike Glass: amazing that it mixes the color really good
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:37 PM - Mike Glass: nope no issues
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:37 PM - PeterkSharma: you should try coloring one half of the filament on color and the other half a diffrent
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:37 PM - PeterkSharma: across the diameter of the filament
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:37 PM - Mike Glass: thats what this one mostly is
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:38 PM - PeterkSharma: you checked out HD-Glass at all?
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:38 PM - PeterkSharma: you might like it a lot

 

Aug 13, 2015 at 8:38 PM - Mike Glass: I have 3 greens 3 blues, 1 brown mixed with bronze
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:38 PM - PeterkSharma: hahaha
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:39 PM - Mike Glass: Im staying away from special filaments till I get a E3D
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:39 PM - PeterkSharma: I want to start a filament exhange, make it so people can trade little bit of filament and source small amounts of specality shit
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:40 PM - Mike Glass: Printed solid sales those bundles
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:42 PM - PeterkSharma: Yeah, but there are filaments like Porolay that are hard to get
Aug 13, 2015 at 8:42 PM - PeterkSharma: I just got some in and ordered some Lay-Felt

 

Aug 14, 2015 at 1:58 AM - exelsion: hello all what is the last firm for robo 3d r1 auto leveling ?
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:17 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:17 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:24 AM - Blake Benefield: Finished assembly. Leveled the bed and started a first test print. The screws provided for the spool holder weren't long enough so I just wrapped some filament around the top of the frame. I let it print for 7 minutes before stopping it. Just wanted to see the new toy play lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:24 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:34 AM - jbigler1986: Very nice
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:26 AM - daniel871: Someone point PeterSkarma to http://globalfsd.com/ next time he's talking about filament samples. Just get some bits of various filaments and print cubes until you get the settings right and make notes of how to do them.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:26 AM - daniel871: Then go looking for spools.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:45 AM - JeffTheMess: good morning robonauts

Aug 14, 2015 at 7:48 AM - jbigler1986: it's not worth ruining chances at court if it gets to that point
Aug 14, 2015 at 7:48 AM - Bill Monroe: its up to you.. gotta follow your priorities (and not the advice of people that have no expereince)
Aug 14, 2015 at 7:49 AM - Mike Kelly: you're advising him to do something illegal, experience or not it's a bad idea
Aug 14, 2015 at 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: my priorities is getting my kids. which in the long run wouldn't be good if i went tomorrow
Aug 14, 2015 at 7:49 AM - jbigler1986: drone?

Aug 14, 2015 at 7:50 AM - Mike Kelly: haha a drone would be funny
Aug 14, 2015 at 7:50 AM - Bill Monroe: unless youve already been arrested, TROs in divorce are a formality

Aug 14, 2015 at 9:06 AM - donhuevo: needed a good nose to find the hidden dead rodent in our basement
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: do you think a blown mosfet causing a fan to run all the time would kill a fan, or do you think the heat from the enclosure is killing themn
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:07 AM - Mike Kelly: these fans aren't even lasting a week
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:08 AM - donhuevo: check the voltage going to it
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:08 AM - donhuevo: that's not right
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm gonna go grab my multimeter
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:08 AM - Mike Kelly: this last fan completely siezed up

 

Aug 14, 2015 at 9:09 AM - jbigler1986: yeah heat shouldn't be killing them
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:09 AM - jbigler1986: picking up a cheap table saw today
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:09 AM - Mike Kelly: sweet, what brand
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:09 AM - jbigler1986: skil
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:09 AM - jbigler1986: nothing crazy

Aug 14, 2015 at 9:11 AM - jbigler1986: going to build a new desk/workbench like my other one i had. i see a bunch of wasted wood in my future. lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:11 AM - jbigler1986: well not wasted i guess
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:11 AM - donhuevo: blake is a dick. I didn't get my first successful print until after 2 months of fails
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:12 AM - Mike Kelly: because robo
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:12 AM - jbigler1986: yeah that hictop is looking better and better
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:12 AM - donhuevo: robo+total noob
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:12 AM - jbigler1986: that's how i was
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:12 AM - jbigler1986: about 2 months of screwing with it before i got good reliable prints
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:13 AM - Mike Kelly: getting good and reliable prints took me about 10 months to get prints i was off almost instantly
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:14 AM - jbigler1986: oh yeah printing was right away. ribbing was horrible though
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Kelly: i actually didn't have ribbing on my printer when i got it
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:14 AM - Mike Kelly: i pretty much added the ribbing when i did the Y axis upgrade
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:15 AM - Mike Kelly: but i could only go like 30mm/s because of the Y axis drawer slides
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:19 AM - donhuevo: well now you're all dicks. my first ugly print that made it to completion took 2 months
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:30 AM - daniel871: I've had my Robo since late April of this year and I'm getting ready to do dual bowden prints. Where does that place me on the scale of things?
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:30 AM - daniel871: Also, check this out: http://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/mars-rover-curiosity
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:30 AM - daniel871: STL files of the Mars Rover if you're enough of a nerd to want to print your own.
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:31 AM - daniel871: I'm wishing I'd got that HICTop printer first though.
Aug 14, 2015 at 9:45 AM - donhuevo: I may be just nerdy enough to print that
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:02 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: well i measured the voltage coming out at 23.5, just a bit below the expected 24
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: didn't really seem to move at all either
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:16 AM - exelsion: hello all some one know where matter control check the last firmware (the linf where matter look for the update)
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: guide.robo3d.com
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:16 AM - Mike Kelly: guide.robo3d.com/Wiki/ROBO_3D_Firmware_Release_Notes
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:17 AM - jbigler1986: Bill i responded and MK i messaged you
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:18 AM - exelsion: matter check that link because my firm under matter control is ROBODRAUTOV4 and i don't see it on that link that why i don't understand ?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:22 AM - Bill Monroe: Yay! i found the bearings for my CNC machine in Korea!
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:22 AM - exelsion: in this link there just the v3 ?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:23 AM - Mike Kelly: i have no idea what v4 is but v3 is fine
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:25 AM - exelsion: mike you see yesterday my screen of it ?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: v4 will your printer dance
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:25 AM - jbigler1986: will make*
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:26 AM - jbigler1986: MK now you see why the current situation pisses me off
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:26 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, but dance like Wierd Al

Aug 14, 2015 at 10:27 AM - exelsion: v4 it the one is good with the v3 i have the dance .
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:27 AM - jbigler1986: this food is gross
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: exelsion that would be unrelated to the firmware
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:27 AM - Mike Kelly: you should contact the guys at robo
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:28 AM - exelsion: ok soory if i trouble you with it and with my poor english
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: it's not your fault i'm just saying that i'm pretty sure there is no v4 and v3 will work fine
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: unless you don't have an autolevel printer
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: so i'm pretty sure that i drove off with a fan on my roof
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: v3 I thought was the latest. I haven't heard about v4 until now
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: which pisses me off
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah me neither jb, i asked jerry if he had any thoughts
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM - jbigler1986: did they get hurt
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM - JeffTheMess: maye download MC to see what it says
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:32 AM - Mike Kelly: couldn't find it jb
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:32 AM - jbigler1986: so you don't know if it was a boy or girl
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:32 AM - jbigler1986: there are lots of MK fans out there
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: haha
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:33 AM - Mike Kelly: so that pissed me off
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: luckily i have more available
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: in good news though i got some of the E3D "Scaffold" PVA based support material
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM - Mike Kelly: so now i need to think of some cool test objects to print with it
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM - jbigler1986: i think i'm going to start some woodworking to get some zen until i get my printer
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM - jbigler1986: never heard of that
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: woodworking is great
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: really satisfying
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's still in their testing phase
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: it's supposed to be an easier PVA to work with
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:35 AM - jbigler1986: in that case you need the bigbox to test for them
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:37 AM - Mike Kelly: that's a good idea
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:51 AM - Blake Benefield: Getting off work... What should i print when i get home?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:52 AM - Mike Kelly: have you done all the calibration objects?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Mike Kelly:
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:53 AM - Mike Glass: Your done?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Blake Benefield: Yup
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:54 AM - Mike Glass: to E3D or not..tis the question
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: always e3d
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Bill Monroe: MG!
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Glass: You gonna back it?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Glass: BILLY
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:55 AM - Mike Kelly: yup and so should you!
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:56 AM - Mike Glass: Why?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:56 AM - Mike Glass: you dont think the Hiccup is better..lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Glass: You going for the Dual?
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: lol no
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:57 AM - Mike Kelly: huge build volume is why
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:58 AM - Mike Kelly: i think i'm just gonna get a pro
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Mike Glass: Im not super impressed with the speed.
Aug 14, 2015 at 10:59 AM - Mike Kelly: they're being modest
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:01 AM - Mike Glass: what filament size does it use?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: 1.75
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: i'm sure if you swapped it to bowden you could easily run it at 120mm/s
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:02 AM - Mike Kelly: and i hear they have designs to reinforce the frame with alum extrusion
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Blake Benefield: For the money could you not build a titan or 2?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Kelly: titan?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:05 AM - Mike Glass: Just not sure I want to invest in a technology that is basically what I have now.

 

Aug 14, 2015 at 11:06 AM - Mike Kelly: sell your robo
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:07 AM - Mike Glass: I would still like to build my own, but not sure I want to develop all the parts myself..lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: haha yeah
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - donhuevo: yeah
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: it's a major undertaking to design your own'
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: but i trust the guys at e3d
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Glass: that and nobody else could use the parts
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: plus i think they can make a good community of owners
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM - Mike Kelly: richrap bought one
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:09 AM - Mike Glass: I would buy all of them if I could, I need to get a job I guess.
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Glass: Mike can you open the Blank Tool holder and do a reconize for me and send me the SW file. He says my version will not work for some reason, and I tried serveral times.
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:12 AM - Mike Kelly: the thing i made?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Glass: no allteds Blank tool holder
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:13 AM - Mike Glass: unless your is the same thing.
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Kelly: nope
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:15 AM - Mike Glass: were you able to reconize features on the stl or did you just create a new one?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:16 AM - Mike Kelly: i opened the .x_t
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Mike Kelly: that took for feature recognition mostly
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:17 AM - Mike Glass: How do I open that
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:20 AM - Mike Glass: NVM didnt know that would work, sweet
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:23 AM - Mike Glass: hmm it has the attachment for the dewalt on it? strange
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:46 AM - Blake Benefield: Sorry was packing up. Titan is just a giant prusa i3. 400x400x400 build
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:47 AM - daniel871: Only Titan I see when running a Google search is a SLA kickstarter.
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:47 AM - Blake Benefield: Can download the frame and cnc it out
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:49 AM - Blake Benefield: http://blueprinted.com.au/blogs/projects/17094935-project-prusa-titan-main-assembly
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:50 AM - Blake Benefield: http://m.instructables.com/id/Mega-Prusa-i3-Rework-8-x-Build-Volume/
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:51 AM - jbigler1986: have you finished a print yet?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:51 AM - Blake Benefield: Nope. Havent made it home
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:52 AM - donhuevo: I'm thinking about drawing up some parts that several of these could 'snap' into to make bigger connectors like 5 1x3's sandwiched together to make a single 15 pin connector http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CO87DD8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:52 AM - Mike Glass: haha 4 printer heaters on that holy cow
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:53 AM - Mike Glass: connectors for what donald
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:54 AM - donhuevo: instead of having a dozen different little connectors for the carriage, why not just two. One for the heater and one for everything else
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:55 AM - donhuevo: fans, neopixels, servo, z switch, thermistor...
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Blake Benefield: Mine has the heater, thermistor, and end stop
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:55 AM - donhuevo: parts fans? hot end fan?
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:55 AM - Mike Glass: I have the doubles and singles 100 each I bought them for the cnc
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:56 AM - donhuevo: I have a bunch of 1x2, 1x3 & 1x4
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:56 AM - Blake Benefield: Oh you mean thr print carriage
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:56 AM - Mike Glass: I dont know what your talking about Blake
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:57 AM - Mike Glass: we are talking connectors.
Aug 14, 2015 at 11:57 AM - donhuevo: if there was a simple printable system where you could hold several of those, I think that'd be useful
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:00 PM - Blake Benefield: I think you're useful don
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:03 PM - donhuevo: no, I'm mostly useless
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:03 PM - donhuevo: ask mg
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Blake Benefield: Lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:08 PM - Blake Benefield: Whats the coolest girly thing to print for a first print?
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.dildo-generator.com/
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:11 PM - Blake Benefield: Nice.. Its gonna be purple
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:11 PM - donhuevo: egg cup sculpture
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:12 PM - Mike Glass: JB might have somthing nicer on his site
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:12 PM - jbigler1986: v2.0 is under contruction
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:13 PM - jbigler1986: gonna have anal beads too
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Mike Glass: haha did you see that Blake.. Robo's comment
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Mike Glass: on facebook
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:15 PM - Blake Benefield: No. Ley me look
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:16 PM - Blake Benefield: Nice
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:18 PM - jbigler1986: what did they say
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Blake Benefield: Apparently I rock
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:18 PM - Mike Glass: He won a new robo
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:19 PM - jbigler1986: lies
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Blake Benefield: Hell i was yrying to BUY a used one and they said no lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:20 PM - Mike Glass: see told you should of waited
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:20 PM - jbigler1986: funny how the case makes people think it's a totally unique printer
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:21 PM - Blake Benefield: No you didnt. You yelled HICTOP at me then screamed "DOOO EEEEET"
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:24 PM - Mike Glass: Holy hell is it hot
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:25 PM - Mike Glass: cnc feet are done, time to go play
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:26 PM - Mike Glass: poop, thats right I stole one for my spool holder, need to print one more..lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:27 PM - jbigler1986: i doubt you will regret the hictop from what i have seen so far. plus it saves you money to spend elsewhere
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: yup hictop looks solid
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:32 PM - Mike Kelly: it's always crazy seeing a kickstarter printer with the original nozzle still on it
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:33 PM - Mike Kelly: like seeing a wild exotic animal
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: Mike what does your mount look like?
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: for the dewalt
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:37 PM - Mike Kelly: you mean the stock one?
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:39 PM - Mike Glass: Oh, I thought you made a mount for the MPCNC
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:40 PM - Mike Glass: Blake I guess I missed your call, stupid BT headphones.
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:40 PM - Mike Kelly: no i was going to work on it last night but had a birthday party to go to
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:40 PM - Mike Kelly: can you skype me your model?
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:41 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:42 PM - Mike Glass: its ugly
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:42 PM - jbigler1986: that will not be allowed
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:48 PM - jbigler1986: any recommendations for a cordless drill
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: I think you have to accept the dl Mike
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:48 PM - Mike Glass: I like my porter cable
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: and the 3 dewalts are workhorses
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: just make sure you get tools that you can swap batteries
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:51 PM - jbigler1986: 20v or 18v?
Aug 14, 2015 at 12:55 PM - Mike Glass: should matter, after 14.4 they all have good power, Lithium Ion is another good thing.
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: so taping 30 rechargeable double a's to it isn't a good idea?
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:03 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.lowes.com/pd_239069-1124...roductId=50056475&pl=1&Ntt=cordless+drill+set
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: anyone tried a black and decker one? they seem very cheap to me. but what do i know
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:08 PM - Bill Monroe: I was advised several years ago that, other than purpose-made CNC spindles, the Colt was the way to go
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:09 PM - Bill Monroe: oh for drills?
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:09 PM - Bill Monroe: I go Milwaukee all the way
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:10 PM - Bill Monroe: all my yellow dewalts crapped out young
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:11 PM - Bill Monroe: broken gearboxes mostly.. some batteries failed early
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:11 PM - Bill Monroe: I keep them so when Home Depot has a Milwaukee competitor upgrade weekend
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: jb i love my dewalt drill. I've used cheaper drills and more expensive ones like milwaukee and I don't think anything beats dewalt for the price
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:20 PM - jbigler1986: do they have any solar powered ones?
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:21 PM - jbigler1986: jk jk

 

Aug 14, 2015 at 1:46 PM - jbigler1986: what is everyone doing this weekend
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:47 PM - Bill Monroe: cleaning the hanger
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:47 PM - Bill Monroe: pulling the boot cowl on the plane to prep for new panel
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:47 PM - Bill Monroe: helping Dad get used to my Harley
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:47 PM - Bill Monroe: <that's gunna be scarry>
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:48 PM - jbigler1986: how old is he?
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:48 PM - Bill Monroe: 86
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:48 PM - jbigler1986: damn. 86 and rocking the Harley
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:48 PM - Bill Monroe: he's quite a guy
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:49 PM - Bill Monroe: but he's used to his 47 knucklehead, which he gave to me.. mine is a sportster and differs in shifting and clutch so, it'll take a little getting used to
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:50 PM - Bill Monroe: the joy in his eyes when I told him he could ride it whenever he wants.. was priceless
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:53 PM - Bill Monroe: i'm gunna take him on the sunrise highway loop once he's comfortable.. me on the kucklehead and him on the sportster will surely attract some attention.. i'm really looking forward to seeing him on a harley again
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:54 PM - Bill Monroe: in the mean time, the plane is getting a 16K avionics upgrade
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:56 PM - jbigler1986: nice
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:56 PM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 on the back wont hurt either
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:02 PM - daniel871: Looks like my weekend will be spent sick.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:02 PM - TxKent: Any guidance on layers that separate: http://i.imgur.com/M3nIE4P.jpg
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:02 PM - Bill Monroe: cold, daniel?
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:03 PM - TxKent: PLA - printed at 210, 50 on the bed. It was worse before I tightened the screws on the filament tensioner.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:03 PM - daniel871: Feverish, headache, weak.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:03 PM - Bill Monroe: yikes
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:04 PM - Bill Monroe: fluids.. sleep...
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:04 PM - daniel871: Always get sick leading up to a weekend where I don't have to work or do any yard work. Sheesh.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:05 PM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:14 PM - Mike Kelly: txkent, under extrusion
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Mike Kelly: try cleaning the nozzle with some cleaning filament, make sure your hobbed bolt is clean, and run an oiler
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:15 PM - TxKent: I suspected... wasn't sure. Don't know where I can buy cleaning filament in Austin - I'll clean the hobbed bolt, and put the oiler on.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:15 PM - TxKent: Thanks.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:15 PM - Mike Kelly: printed solid sells it
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:16 PM - TxKent: Ok. What about cleaning it with guitar string - will that help?
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:21 PM - TxKent: Might as well see what else printed solid has that I want.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:23 PM - TxKent: Ok, ordered the cleaning filament.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:23 PM - TxKent: Thanks for the great advice.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:26 PM - Printed Solid: lol. it's pretty funny to see an order pop up and then see you guys chatting about it.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:26 PM - Printed Solid: That was my last coil of cleaning fialment.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:28 PM - daniel871: Cleaning filament?
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:34 PM - Mike Glass: Mk think I came up with a way to micro adjust the cnc. putting pieces together now.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:34 PM - TxKent: Yahoo! I got the last one.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:34 PM - TxKent: Make sure Mike gets his 7%
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:40 PM - Printed Solid: lol.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:40 PM - Printed Solid: 7%? you clearly haven't seen how I support people who support me.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:41 PM - Printed Solid: One half eaten bag of gummy bears for Mike Kelly.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:42 PM - Mike Glass: lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:43 PM - TxKent: Not that bag that was on the dash of your car...
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:43 PM - Mike Glass: next time send him a 1lb bag, it will give him the shits
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:44 PM - Printed Solid: holy crap! I am watching an episode of reading rainbow from the 80s with my kids.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:44 PM - Printed Solid: they are showing how PLA cups are made.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:44 PM - Printed Solid: Did they relaunch reading rainbow? I thought PLA cups were relatively new.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:44 PM - TxKent: Oh, my wife gave my son a bunch of the sugar free ones... he ate the whole bag. (Not a 1 lb. bag.) About an hour later, BOOOM!!!
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: hahaha
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:45 PM - TxKent: She didn't realize that they are a laxative.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: lmao
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:45 PM - TxKent: Now he eats a few here and there.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:45 PM - Mike Kelly: also kent a guitar string usually worked pretty well for me
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:45 PM - TxKent: I'll have to find mine.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:46 PM - Printed Solid: ok. they relaunched. They are showing links to websites.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:47 PM - TxKent: Reading Rainbow had a huge funding project about a year ago. My wife gave them $$.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:47 PM - TxKent: They hit like 3 million dollars in 2 weeks.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: before exploding kittens it was the most backed kickstartert
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:47 PM - TxKent: Exploding kittens?
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:48 PM - Printed Solid: it's totally a maker show.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:49 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.explodingkittens.com/
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:49 PM - Mike Kelly: if you don't read the oatmeal it's probably very weird
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:50 PM - TxKent: I haven't in a while. But it's all good.
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: it's a fun game
Aug 14, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Mike Kelly: basic premise but a surprising amount of depth, which is easy to learn
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:03 PM - TxKent: We like to play munchkin a lot
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:18 PM - TxKent: I wonder how much of my issue is using crappy filament. The black that was underextruding was Shaxon PLA from Fry's. I just put back on a spool of white Hatchbox PLA.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Mike Glass: Could be
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:29 PM - JeffTheMess: Hey folks
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:30 PM - JeffTheMess: Whats everyone doing
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:30 PM - TxKent: Trying to stop underextruding
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:31 PM - JeffTheMess: Just go e3d like everyone else
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:31 PM - TxKent: Does it really help?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:32 PM - JeffTheMess: Ill find out soon enough i order one from.printed solid today
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:33 PM - JeffTheMess: Everyone swears by it
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:33 PM - JeffTheMess: Havent seen a bad review online at all
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Glass: I like my hex, never had an issue with it, and even run .8 nozzle just fine.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:34 PM - Mike Glass: Figure I have around 1500 hours on it so far
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:35 PM - JeffTheMess: Nice
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:36 PM - JeffTheMess: Kent have checked if your hubbed bolt is clean?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:38 PM - TxKent: Looked ok. Do I need to remove it to clean it with something?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:41 PM - JeffTheMess: When i had that problem my hobbes bolt had filament stuck in the "teeth" slowed it down a bit....make sure its clean
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:41 PM - Mike Glass: I use a razor an some alcohol.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:42 PM - JeffTheMess: That should work
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:42 PM - TxKent: ok. I can probably get in there with dental picks & swabs with alcohol
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:43 PM - JeffTheMess: Check the bearings too
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:43 PM - Mike Glass: be amazed how gummed it gets.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:43 PM - Mike Glass: specialy if you run alot of parts with retraction
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:44 PM - JeffTheMess: Yup
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:48 PM - Printed Solid: I liked my hex too. Until it stopped working.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:48 PM - Mike Glass: yep soon as it does im headed your way.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:48 PM - Printed Solid: lol.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:48 PM - JeffTheMess: Yeah thats why i ordered mines from you printed solid
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Mike Glass: Bigbox is calling me though
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Printed Solid: Printers are psychic. They only break when they know you have a really important or time sensitive project.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Printed Solid: OH, you should definitely answer that bigbox call!
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Printed Solid: 2 day left and they are so close to that sensor stretch goal!
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - Mike Glass: kinda close
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - TxKent: Should I replace the hex/

 

Aug 14, 2015 at 3:49 PM - TxKent: ?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:50 PM - Printed Solid: IMO, you are going to need to sooner or later.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:51 PM - Mike Glass: Yep get it over with now, then you will have a spare.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:51 PM - Printed Solid: I'd probably start with cleaning out the hobbed bolt, making sure your fan is working, and cleaning out with the guitar string or a tiny drill bit.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:53 PM - Printed Solid: MG, do you think you will back the big box?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:53 PM - Printed Solid: me and MK are
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:53 PM - TxKent: LOL.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:54 PM - Mike Glass: yea, I just would like the plexi but dont want to go over the 1k range
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:54 PM - Mike Glass: why is the add on for the volcano $80
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:56 PM - Printed Solid: the jet pack? it's more than just the volcano
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:57 PM - TxKent: Is the E3D V6 HOT END KIT all I need to buy from PrintedSolid?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:57 PM - Mike Glass: why is that?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:57 PM - Printed Solid: i don't know. it's a rather odd combo. I think it is the volcano kit plus the V6 nozzle fun pack. so it is a good buy.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:58 PM - Printed Solid: kent, yes, just the V6 hot end kit. You may want to also order the stud thermistor so that you dont have to mess with firmware and installation is easier.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:58 PM - Mike Kelly:
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:58 PM - Printed Solid: I bought a bunch of those fun packs for resale. pricing is really really good, but people still tend to prefer single nozzles.
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:59 PM - TxKent: Bowden or Direct drive?
Aug 14, 2015 at 3:59 PM - Printed Solid: direct.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:00 PM - TxKent: Ok... will have to talk to the CFO to see if I can spend some of my bonus.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:00 PM - Printed Solid: indeed.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Mike Glass: I thought your kit you had came with the nozzles
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Printed Solid: the volcano eruption kit does come with the nozzles. The additional nozzles they are talking about are v6 nozzles.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:01 PM - Printed Solid: the v6 has always only come with a 0.4
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:05 PM - Mike Glass: Gotcha, they are given you 8 nozzles total
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:08 PM - Mike Kelly: mg did you tighten everything down on the mpcnc before or after putting the sections on the emt
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:10 PM - TxKent: Yay! I'm approved for the E3D!!

Aug 14, 2015 at 4:15 PM - TxKent: Where at Mike G? Send that down to central Texas. We need rain.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:15 PM - Mike Glass: Montana
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:17 PM - Mike Glass: ok unplugged the cnc's also, its is freaky lightning
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:18 PM - JeffTheMess: I checked kent no discount
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:24 PM - TxKent: it's ok Jeff. Wife said yes, so I'm all good.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:24 PM - TxKent: I saved a few dollars on my XXL controller
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:25 PM - JeffTheMess: I went through that too lol
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:25 PM - TxKent: Oh, and Mike K - I like the new XXL controller housing you uploaded to Thingiverse
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:29 PM - TxKent: If I could only find it now that I'm at home. I clicked the heart yesterday at work - but now can't find it.

Aug 14, 2015 at 4:31 PM - Mike Glass: but adapted it to my full graphics display
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:32 PM - TxKent: Yeah. Found it.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:33 PM - TxKent: I'd like to mount it on the left side - closest to my monitor.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:37 PM - Mike Glass: should work for either side
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:38 PM - Printed Solid: ya. sorry, e3d runs at pretty slim margins.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:39 PM - Mike Glass: cheaper then amazon
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:40 PM - TxKent: It's all good. I like supporting small business... BUT, I hate USPS.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:41 PM - TxKent: I buy electronics kits off Tindie. (Not Tinder - Tindie)
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:47 PM - TxKent: OMG... my ex wife is a piece of work.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:47 PM - TxKent: Bought my son an MRE so he'd stop bugging me about them. She won't let him eat it cold. Forcing him to use the heater pack.
Aug 14, 2015 at 4:48 PM - TxKent: So he's calling me asking how to do it. I said "Youtube.com"
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:01 PM - Printed Solid: lol.
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Printed Solid: school lunches aren't good enough for him?
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Printed Solid: USPS gets on my nerves sometimes too, but they have been incredibly reliable for me.
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Printed Solid: usually really fast, but occasionally it takes forever, and I've had 1 out of several thousand packages just dissapear
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:13 PM - JeffTheMess: Thats scary
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:22 PM - Mike Kelly: MG: what program did you do it in
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:30 PM - jbigler1986: Some MREs are actually good
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:30 PM - jbigler1986: Some are freaking horrible
Aug 14, 2015 at 5:31 PM - Sims Reaper: good afternoon guys. Hows everybody been?

Aug 14, 2015 at 6:33 PM - PeterkSharma:
Aug 14, 2015 at 6:34 PM - PeterkSharma: it is printing so nicely
Aug 14, 2015 at 6:34 PM - PeterkSharma: i messed up my phone camera, but the layer quality is the best out of any filament i've used
Aug 14, 2015 at 6:59 PM - PeterkSharma: print failed. i think i need to clean my hobbled bolt.
Aug 14, 2015 at 7:02 PM - Mike Glass: did you hear clicking noise
Aug 14, 2015 at 8:53 PM - Mike Kelly:

 

Aug 14, 2015 10:20 PM - PeterkSharma: no clicking noise. but it pushed out the side of the extruder
Aug 14, 2015 10:57 PM - Kevin Nguyen: oh noo my hexagon broke
Aug 14, 2015 11:31 PM - Mike Glass: Time to order a V6
Aug 14, 2015 11:32 PM - Kevin Nguyen: but i liked my hexagon
Aug 14, 2015 11:56 PM - PeterkSharma: how much are you willing to pay for one?
Aug 15, 2015 5:32 AM - jbigler1986: Good morning
Aug 15, 2015 5:37 AM - jbigler1986: Managed to get the table saw for $100. So table saw 18v hitachi drill and some other tools for under $200. Used my military discount to get 10 percent off. Heck of a deal

Aug 15, 2015 7:14 AM - PeterkSharma: morning all
Aug 15, 2015 7:17 AM - PeterkSharma: anyone every had any trouble with really long print times?
Aug 15, 2015 7:17 AM - PeterkSharma: going to do a 20 hour one, and dont know if you need to change anything for that
Aug 15, 2015 7:17 AM - Bill Monroe: nope
Aug 15, 2015 7:18 AM - PeterkSharma: sweet!
Aug 15, 2015 7:26 AM - Mike Glass: THe mount is ok but I will make a real one someday.
Aug 15, 2015 7:27 AM - Bill Monroe: its creative, but I dont really need the QD feature and didnt want to rely on the plastic dowels.. I'm just making if beefier
Aug 15, 2015 7:28 AM - Mike Glass: yea I ended using bolts
Aug 15, 2015 7:28 AM - Bill Monroe: <hi5>
Aug 15, 2015 7:28 AM - Bill Monroe: 1/4"?
Aug 15, 2015 7:29 AM - Mike Glass: haha no like M6 and M4 was the biggest that would fit
Aug 15, 2015 7:30 AM - Bill Monroe: hmm I though M6 was an automatic weapon
Aug 15, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Glass: Making some micro adusting feet for the cnc today
Aug 15, 2015 7:31 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm gunna have to go look, I cant recall if I built that machine metric or regular
Aug 15, 2015 7:31 AM - Bill Monroe: everyone should have adjustable feet
Aug 15, 2015 7:31 AM - Blake Benefield: Jb. Printed a few things on the HIC yesterday
Aug 15, 2015 7:31 AM - Mike Glass: better then the wooden blocks I have now..
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - jbigler1986: Nope. Long prints are fine
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - Bill Monroe:
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - Blake Benefield: Works pretty well so far as a newb like me was concerned
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - jbigler1986: Awesome. Got any pics?
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - PeterkSharma: anyone changed out their hobbled bolt yet?
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Glass: thats awesome that it prints out of the box like that
Aug 15, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Glass: even for a noob like you Blake
Aug 15, 2015 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: @Peter, i have printed a 67 hour print before. Turned out great
Aug 15, 2015 7:33 AM - Bill Monroe: i'm still running the OEM bolt - no issues
Aug 15, 2015 7:33 AM - Mike Glass: clean mine every 10 prints or so.
Aug 15, 2015 7:33 AM - jbigler1986: The hobb wearing out will take a long time to do
Aug 15, 2015 7:33 AM - Blake Benefield: Wouldnt call it out of the box lol. But it wasnt hard to assemble and get running
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Glass: unless you printing SS
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - PeterkSharma: ss?
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - Bill Monroe: it should not *ever* wear.. maybe only if you print a lot of carbon
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Glass: or any metal filaments
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Glass: or metal infused filaments
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - jbigler1986: Pics or it didnt happen
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - PeterkSharma: i messed on of the teeth up on my when i had to drill the hole for the V6 swap
Aug 15, 2015 7:34 AM - Blake Benefield: Jb. Ill have to upload some. Had a few failures too. Learning curve stuff with fill percentages rafts etc
Aug 15, 2015 7:35 AM - Mike Glass: Drill, eek gads
Aug 15, 2015 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: You will get it figured out
Aug 15, 2015 7:35 AM - jbigler1986: You can get a new hobb for like $6
Aug 15, 2015 7:36 AM - PeterkSharma: just followed the tutorial. worked out well. I should have just printed a whole new carriage
Aug 15, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Glass: takes months to really understand all the settings depending on the slicer.
Aug 15, 2015 7:36 AM - PeterkSharma: ^^Been printing for a month and still dont know what i'm doing
Aug 15, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: There are a lot of small settings that can have a big effect
Aug 15, 2015 7:38 AM - jbigler1986: Just dont be afraid to take the printer apart to fix something. I learned so much that way
Aug 15, 2015 7:42 AM - PeterkSharma: anyone know anything about cars?
Aug 15, 2015 7:42 AM - Blake Benefield: Indeed
Aug 15, 2015 7:42 AM - PeterkSharma:
Aug 15, 2015 7:43 AM - jbigler1986: Blake you assembling the printer will help a lot
Aug 15, 2015 7:43 AM - PeterkSharma: I'm looking for 5, 7, and 8. 5 and 8are listed no 7. any ideas where I can get it?
Aug 15, 2015 7:43 AM - PeterkSharma: http://www.volvopartswebstore.com/s...model=12008&ukey_driveline=0&ukey_trimLevel=0
Aug 15, 2015 7:43 AM - Blake Benefield: Im gonna print clips and stuff to keep the wires wrangled
Aug 15, 2015 7:44 AM - Bill Monroe: I used to be working on cars every weeknd
Aug 15, 2015 7:45 AM - Bill Monroe: but now, I've not looked under a hood since May 2000
Aug 15, 2015 7:45 AM - Blake Benefield: Probably comes as a mount if i had to guess. Go look at 5 in store and see if it isnt there
Aug 15, 2015 7:45 AM - Bill Monroe: well, that's not exactly true.. I do work on my Model A.. but that doesnt really count
Aug 15, 2015 7:46 AM - PeterkSharma: stores dont carry this part. They all have to order it in.
Aug 15, 2015 7:46 AM - PeterkSharma: would prefer to buy it local if possible (seattle)
Aug 15, 2015 7:47 AM - Blake Benefield: Check a junkyard
Aug 15, 2015 7:48 AM - Bill Monroe: arent volvo's born in junkyards?
Aug 15, 2015 7:48 AM - PeterkSharma: lol, I'm in love with mine
Aug 15, 2015 7:49 AM - PeterkSharma: 35-45mpg. 200,000 miles and no really major problems. or should i say no problems thats i didnt directly cause.
Aug 15, 2015 7:49 AM - Bill Monroe: cars are better now.. 2.0's grand cherokee is at 220K and that hemi still rips
Aug 15, 2015 7:50 AM - PeterkSharma: I would like to build an electric one
Aug 15, 2015 7:50 AM - Bill Monroe: I cant tow a trailer with trons
Aug 15, 2015 7:51 AM - PeterkSharma: trons?
Aug 15, 2015 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: electrons
Aug 15, 2015 7:51 AM - PeterkSharma: lol, know much about electric cars?
Aug 15, 2015 7:51 AM - Bill Monroe: a bit
Aug 15, 2015 7:51 AM - PeterkSharma: unlimited low end torque
Aug 15, 2015 7:52 AM - Bill Monroe: uhh unlimited? hardly
Aug 15, 2015 7:52 AM - PeterkSharma: Limited to the battery, Distance in the cars still is an issue.
Aug 15, 2015 7:53 AM - PeterkSharma: But, they about to go public with the dual carbon battery
Aug 15, 2015 7:53 AM - Bill Monroe: if it was unlimited.. every golfer would be laying on the ground with their cart on top of them
Aug 15, 2015 7:54 AM - PeterkSharma: lol, the motor controllers are set to be used like a throttle gauge so you don't
Aug 15, 2015 7:55 AM - Bill Monroe: wire size, motor metalurgy, contruction... all these things matter
Aug 15, 2015 7:55 AM - Bill Monroe: battery is actually not as big of a factor on low end torque

 

Aug 15, 2015 7:56 AM - PeterkSharma: more torque it needs more current it takes to make motor spin around
Aug 15, 2015 7:56 AM - PeterkSharma: i though
Aug 15, 2015 7:56 AM - Bill Monroe: hell, BOTH my harleys outpull all the teslas from a standstill
Aug 15, 2015 7:56 AM - Bill Monroe: and one is a lot older than I am,
Aug 15, 2015 7:59 AM - PeterkSharma: bill you seen this?
Aug 15, 2015 7:59 AM - PeterkSharma:
Aug 15, 2015 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: i've seen a number electrics run demos
Aug 15, 2015 8:03 AM - Bill Monroe: I've also seen a number of steam powered vehicles do the same thing.. so whats the point?
Aug 15, 2015 8:04 AM - Bill Monroe: rubber bands cound do it if you had enough of them
Aug 15, 2015 8:04 AM - Bill Monroe: doesnt make it unlimited torque
Aug 15, 2015 8:05 AM - PeterkSharma: oh no that was just a cool video
Aug 15, 2015 8:05 AM - PeterkSharma: just wanted to share it
Aug 15, 2015 8:06 AM - PeterkSharma: steam powered? I hear you can convert engines to run on steam
Aug 15, 2015 8:07 AM - Bill Monroe: I like this one better:
Aug 15, 2015 8:07 AM - PeterkSharma: hahhaha this is great!
Aug 15, 2015 8:08 AM - Bill Monroe: my grandfather had a stem powered car.. wish I had it now
Aug 15, 2015 8:20 AM - Blake Benefield: <a href="http://s177.photobucket.co...t_2015-08-15-10-13-592_zpseq1sjmrv.jpg"/></a>
Aug 15, 2015 8:20 AM - Blake Benefield: Stupid phone lol
Aug 15, 2015 8:20 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 15, 2015 8:21 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 15, 2015 8:21 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 15, 2015 8:22 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 15, 2015 8:23 AM - Blake Benefield: And then theres the spool of PLA i ordered
Aug 15, 2015 8:23 AM - Blake Benefield:
Aug 15, 2015 8:24 AM - donhuevo: PLA you say...
Aug 15, 2015 8:24 AM - donhuevo: looking good by the way
Aug 15, 2015 8:24 AM - Blake Benefield: From now on ill be ordering from printed solid or amazon. Apparently people that sell on ebay think filame t is filament because both the justPLA and Hatchbox pla i ordered shipped out ABS
Aug 15, 2015 8:25 AM - donhuevo: yep, I get my hatchbox on amazon
Aug 15, 2015 8:26 AM - Blake Benefield: Amazon just doesnt take paypal. So if i wanna order amazon i have to buy a giftcard first. Wait for it to arrive then place my order
Aug 15, 2015 8:29 AM - donhuevo: I went Prime a while back so I tend to order as much as I can thru amazon
Aug 15, 2015 8:30 AM - Blake Benefield: I have no problem other thsn not being able to use my paypal account
Aug 15, 2015 8:31 AM - Blake Benefield: So if i sell something blacksmithed on etsy or ebay id like to be able to use that craft money on another craft
Aug 15, 2015 8:32 AM - donhuevo: makes sense
Aug 15, 2015 8:33 AM - PeterkSharma: have you checked sites like https://www.matterhackers.com/
Aug 15, 2015 8:33 AM - PeterkSharma: there might be decent company out there that takes paypal?
Aug 15, 2015 8:38 AM - JeffTheMess: Hiyo!
Aug 15, 2015 8:40 AM - Blake Benefield: Printedsolid.com does
Aug 15, 2015 8:40 AM - JeffTheMess: How that print turn out last night?
Aug 15, 2015 8:53 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Don!
Aug 15, 2015 8:55 AM - donhuevo: morning mg
Aug 15, 2015 8:59 AM - Mike Glass: how are ya
Aug 15, 2015 8:59 AM - donhuevo: glad it's the weekend
Aug 15, 2015 9:01 AM - Mike Glass: I thought it was Sunday..lol
Aug 15, 2015 9:01 AM - donhuevo: you just got an extra day!
Aug 15, 2015 9:02 AM - Mike Glass: woot, still 5 days before I go back to work.
Aug 15, 2015 9:02 AM - donhuevo: now you're just being mean
Aug 15, 2015 9:03 AM - Mike Glass: haha, I did have to work remotely last night, lightning took out a ups and a switch, so my boss hooked up a switch so i could configure it remotely.
Aug 15, 2015 9:04 AM - Mike Glass: like 6 hours it tooks us, had to find some special code that was in that switch that no others had. so I got 4 hours of sleep.
Aug 15, 2015 9:05 AM - donhuevo: well that sucks. the boss should add a day to the end of your vacation for that
Aug 15, 2015 9:06 AM - Mike Glass: Yea interupted me finishing my cnc upgrade.
Aug 15, 2015 9:43 AM - Blake Benefield: Be honest mike... Is it ever really "finished"?
Aug 15, 2015 9:50 AM - Mike Glass: nope
Aug 15, 2015 10:29 AM - Kevin Nguyen: alright so hexagon is broken. so my printer is down for a couple weeks. should i grab a different hotend or another hexagon
Aug 15, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: depends on your budget
Aug 15, 2015 10:30 AM - Mike Kelly: the e3dv6 is awesome
Aug 15, 2015 10:31 AM - Kevin Nguyen: budget is around 400$ for printing stuff. need those lead screw upgrades so around 300 really
Aug 15, 2015 10:35 AM - Mike Kelly: i think it's worth the extra $30 or w/e it is
Aug 15, 2015 10:36 AM - Kevin Nguyen: its only 13$ more for the v6 compared to hexagon atm
Aug 15, 2015 10:36 AM - Mike Kelly: def worth it then
Aug 15, 2015 10:37 AM - Kevin Nguyen: would i need to change my printer much?
Aug 15, 2015 10:38 AM - Mike Kelly: not unless you want to
Aug 15, 2015 10:38 AM - Kevin Nguyen: just a new fan shroud is all i would need right?
Aug 15, 2015 10:39 AM - Mike Kelly: pretty much, drilling out the extruder for the ptfe tube is a good idea
Aug 15, 2015 10:41 AM - Kevin Nguyen: http://www.makerfarm.com/index.php/hot-ends/e3d-chimera.html
Aug 15, 2015 10:41 AM - Kevin Nguyen: tempting
Aug 15, 2015 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: prepare for a project
Aug 15, 2015 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: also buy from printedsolid
Aug 15, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Glass: Hi Mike
Aug 15, 2015 10:48 AM - Mike Kelly: hey mike
Aug 15, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Glass: what are you up too today
Aug 15, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: oh probably gonna put together the cnc a bit and other junk around the house
Aug 15, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: how bout you
Aug 15, 2015 10:52 AM - Mike Glass: working on the feet, waiting for the stupid threadlock to dry.
Aug 15, 2015 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: let's see them
Aug 15, 2015 10:58 AM - Mike Glass: i could if they were dry, says 20 minutes, my ass
Aug 15, 2015 10:59 AM - Mike Glass: think heat would speed it up?
Aug 15, 2015 11:00 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm maybe
Aug 15, 2015 11:03 AM - Mike Glass: Guess I have an extra piece I can show. hold on sec
Aug 15, 2015 11:04 AM - Mike Kelly: hmm i'm struggling to understand how the middle goes together
Aug 15, 2015 11:06 AM - Mike Glass: it probably more confusing with the new z
