Sep 24, 2015 12:32 PM - Mike Glass: question nfo, would it be better to etch the back of plexi, I know when I engrave it, looks way better on the back side.
Sep 24, 2015 12:33 PM - janot928: have a good night /good day
Sep 24, 2015 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: you can tap the heat block or you might be able to do it with the stud thermistor itself
Sep 24, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Kelly: i'd suggest a stainless M3 screw
Sep 24, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: just hot glue it in
Sep 24, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Kelly: gorilla glue
Sep 24, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: JB's Weld

Sep 24, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: yes it is
Sep 24, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: how does the mini autolevel the bed?
Sep 24, 2015 12:58 PM - jbigler1986: lulzbot mini
Sep 24, 2015 1:01 PM - Mike Glass: must be in alaska?
Sep 24, 2015 1:02 PM - Sonny's Robo3D: Hi MK - so not good idea to use shroud if only have 40x10mm fan?
Sep 24, 2015 1:02 PM - jbigler1986: nope
Sep 24, 2015 1:03 PM - Sonny's Robo3D: I have the regular MK setup with the 2 40x10mm - was thinking of adding shroud to direct the air more
Sep 24, 2015 1:03 PM - Sonny's Robo3D: guess that's not a good idea?
Sep 24, 2015 1:04 PM - Sonny's Robo3D: should I go with 40x20mm?
Sep 24, 2015 1:04 PM - jbigler1986:
Sep 24, 2015 1:04 PM - jbigler1986: yes
Sep 24, 2015 1:05 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah i'm not convinced shrouds are worth it, maybe for a 40x20, but a radial blower is really needed to make it useful
Sep 24, 2015 1:06 PM - Mike Kelly: JB, it autolevels by closing a circuit between the nozzle and the 4 disks holding the bed
Sep 24, 2015 1:06 PM - Mike Kelly: then it knows the disks are a certain height and says "the bed must be below this"
Sep 24, 2015 1:06 PM - jbigler1986: do you have to adjust it or does it do it itself
Sep 24, 2015 1:07 PM - Sonny's Robo3D: Thanks MK and JB
Sep 24, 2015 1:07 PM - Mike Kelly: no adjustment needed
Sep 24, 2015 1:08 PM - Mike Kelly: it's about as close to plug and play as there is
Sep 24, 2015 1:11 PM - jbigler1986: legit
Sep 24, 2015 1:13 PM - Mike Glass: too legit to quit
Sep 24, 2015 1:13 PM - jbigler1986: idk what you are talking about
Sep 24, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Glass: then you better open those eyes
Sep 24, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Sep 24, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: nvm
Sep 24, 2015 1:19 PM - Mike Kelly: nozzle looks like it's leaking
Sep 24, 2015 1:20 PM - daniel871: Robby caught the clap.
Sep 24, 2015 1:22 PM - jbigler1986: ?
Sep 24, 2015 1:24 PM - daniel871: Might have my slang terms for STD's confused.

Sep 24, 2015 1:41 PM - Mike Kelly: lead freaks me out a bit
Sep 24, 2015 1:45 PM - krouton3: well sword and shield all soldered up
Sep 24, 2015 1:45 PM - krouton3: this soldering iron sucks it drains battery way too fast lol
Sep 24, 2015 1:45 PM - krouton3: im probably going to bring it back and get a wired one
Sep 24, 2015 1:54 PM - jbigler1986: battery powered soldering iron? you are silly
Sep 24, 2015 1:57 PM - donhuevo: I have a butane-powered soldering iron. doesn't do too bad
Sep 24, 2015 1:59 PM - Mike Kelly: how's the temp control?
Sep 24, 2015 1:59 PM - donhuevo: eh
Sep 24, 2015 2:00 PM - donhuevo:
Sep 24, 2015 2:21 PM - Mike Glass: I used to have one of those
Sep 24, 2015 2:22 PM - Mike Glass: and several battery powered ones
Sep 24, 2015 2:23 PM - Mike Glass: I like this one http://www.banggood.com/TS100-Digit...ron-Station-Built-in-STM32-Chip-p-984214.html
Sep 24, 2015 2:32 PM - krouton3: the temp control theres a high and low setting high is 900 degrees and low 710cdegrees
Sep 24, 2015 2:32 PM - krouton3: was running on low setting to conserve battery and didnt wast to burn the hell out of the plastic lol
Sep 24, 2015 2:33 PM - krouton3: but i have it all sanded down it doesnt look perfect but itll have to do
Sep 24, 2015 2:33 PM - krouton3: just washed it letting it dry then ima put on the coat of primer
Sep 24, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: be sure to take lots of pics of the process
Sep 24, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Glass: Mk you jonzing for Dec yet?
Sep 24, 2015 2:54 PM - Mike Kelly: you know it
Sep 24, 2015 2:56 PM - Mike Glass: your gonna like the tiko
Sep 24, 2015 2:57 PM - Mike Kelly: lol
Sep 24, 2015 2:58 PM - Mike Kelly: i've got this totally warped 2x4, any point in trying to use it or just burn it
Sep 24, 2015 3:00 PM - Mike Glass: soak it in water and put weight on it?
Sep 24, 2015 3:05 PM - Mike Kelly: maybe i should just build the legs out of the 4'x8'x.75" plywood i bought
Sep 24, 2015 3:05 PM - Mike Kelly: fully enclose it etc
Sep 24, 2015 3:53 PM - jbigler1986: Hmmm
Sep 24, 2015 3:54 PM - jbigler1986: Duct tape and super glue is all you need
Sep 24, 2015 5:28 PM - krouton3: gah freakin dad dropped the word off the side of the porch and it broke the weld >.>
Sep 24, 2015 5:29 PM - krouton3: had to reweld it even after spray painting the sword
Sep 24, 2015 5:33 PM - danzca6: jeesh...parents...
Sep 24, 2015 5:33 PM - danzca6: lol
Sep 24, 2015 6:30 PM - Mike Glass: Help me don cant find where to put this code
Sep 24, 2015 6:50 PM - donhuevo: alrighty
Sep 24, 2015 6:55 PM - Mike Glass: bout time

Sep 24, 2015 6:59 PM - Mike Glass: must not be putting in the right place im thinking
Sep 24, 2015 6:59 PM - donhuevo: did you import the neopixel libraries into arduino?
Sep 24, 2015 6:59 PM - Mike Glass: yea downloaded the master file, and then did the import library
Sep 24, 2015 7:00 PM - Mike Glass: let me verify if the files are there in the library
Sep 24, 2015 7:01 PM - Mike Glass: yea I see the files
Sep 24, 2015 7:01 PM - donhuevo: I just installed diffmerge and now I'm trying to find a non-neopixel copy of the firmware
Sep 24, 2015 7:05 PM - donhuevo: do you have diffmerge installed?
Sep 24, 2015 7:06 PM - Mike Glass: yes
Sep 24, 2015 7:07 PM - donhuevo: http://oddhobs.com/mg
Sep 24, 2015 7:07 PM - donhuevo: grab the marlin zip file
Sep 24, 2015 7:13 PM - donhuevo: crap. I renamed the folder and not the .ino file
Sep 24, 2015 7:13 PM - donhuevo: crap
Sep 24, 2015 7:13 PM - Mike Glass: do I need the u8glib.h
Sep 24, 2015 7:14 PM - donhuevo: no. that's for the full graphics lcd
Sep 24, 2015 7:15 PM - Mike Glass: I have full graphics
Sep 24, 2015 7:16 PM - donhuevo: ok then
Sep 24, 2015 7:16 PM - Mike Glass: but its not in mine
Sep 24, 2015 7:16 PM - Mike Glass: and it works
Sep 24, 2015 7:16 PM - donhuevo: I may have gone overboard way back when trying to get it to work
Sep 24, 2015 7:17 PM - Mike Glass: is this your running config?
Sep 24, 2015 7:17 PM - donhuevo: it is
Sep 24, 2015 7:18 PM - donhuevo: you may notice that I followed the TEMP_STAT_LEDS code that was already in the firmware
Sep 24, 2015 7:20 PM - Mike Glass: ok still same damn thing

 

Sep 24, 2015 7:21 PM - donhuevo: do you have the code in marlin_main.cpp?
Sep 24, 2015 7:22 PM - Mike Glass: cant find the adaruit_neoPixel.h
Sep 24, 2015 7:22 PM - donhuevo: starts #ifdef NEOPIXEL_LEDS?
Sep 24, 2015 7:22 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Sep 24, 2015 7:23 PM - donhuevo: in mine it starts on line 51
Sep 24, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Glass: yea it copied all the info to the same lines
Sep 24, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Glass: something wrong with the library
Sep 24, 2015 7:24 PM - donhuevo: When you open your firmware in arduino, do the adafruit library files show up?
Sep 24, 2015 7:24 PM - Mike Glass: yea, and I run an example it works fine
Sep 24, 2015 7:26 PM - Mike Glass: no such file or directory..hmm
Sep 24, 2015 7:28 PM - donhuevo:
Sep 24, 2015 7:31 PM - Mike Glass: I need the files in the sketchbook?
Sep 24, 2015 7:31 PM - Mike Glass: its compiling now
Sep 24, 2015 7:31 PM - donhuevo: yeah buddy
Sep 24, 2015 7:32 PM - Mike Glass: I thought it pulls from your library
Sep 24, 2015 7:33 PM - donhuevo: nope, not in this case
Sep 24, 2015 7:34 PM - donhuevo: did you get them in the sketch?
Sep 24, 2015 7:34 PM - Mike Glass: yep, so when do they light up?
Sep 24, 2015 7:35 PM - donhuevo: start a print
Sep 24, 2015 7:35 PM - Mike Glass: I did and nothing yet
Sep 24, 2015 7:37 PM - Mike Glass: had to reboot the robo
Sep 24, 2015 7:37 PM - donhuevo: the top section of neopixel code in marlin main where the two instances neopixels are defined you'll see something like this...
Sep 24, 2015 7:37 PM - donhuevo: Adafruit_NeoPixel ext_neopixel = Adafruit_NeoPixel(2, 42, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
Sep 24, 2015 7:38 PM - donhuevo: that 42 is pin 42 and the 2 should mean 2 neopixels in the chain
Sep 24, 2015 7:39 PM - donhuevo: In the 2nd section in marlin_main, I set pixel 1 in ext_neopixel to white
Sep 24, 2015 7:42 PM - Mike Glass: one light is on and thats it
Sep 24, 2015 7:42 PM - donhuevo: what color is it?
Sep 24, 2015 7:42 PM - Mike Glass: kinda blue
Sep 24, 2015 7:42 PM - donhuevo: what pin is it connected to?
Sep 24, 2015 7:43 PM - Mike Glass: 42
Sep 24, 2015 7:44 PM - donhuevo: that's the pin that I've defined as having two pixels connected to it
Sep 24, 2015 7:44 PM - Mike Glass: yea it has 2 on it
Sep 24, 2015 7:44 PM - Mike Glass: same two I had hooked up to the digispark
Sep 24, 2015 7:44 PM - Mike Glass: only one ins lit though
Sep 24, 2015 7:45 PM - donhuevo: the one closest to the ramps board should be white and stay white. the 2nd should change with extruder temp
Sep 24, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Glass: yep seems right, kinda whitish
Sep 24, 2015 7:46 PM - Mike Glass: no extruder or lights then
Sep 24, 2015 7:47 PM - Mike Glass: must of missed something
Sep 24, 2015 7:47 PM - donhuevo: the print started and the bed was preheating?
Sep 24, 2015 7:48 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Sep 24, 2015 7:49 PM - donhuevo: don't know what you could've missed.
Sep 24, 2015 7:49 PM - donhuevo: does your bed preheat first? or the extruder
Sep 24, 2015 7:50 PM - Mike Glass: bed
Sep 24, 2015 7:50 PM - donhuevo: mine too
Sep 24, 2015 7:50 PM - Mike Glass: its just the two files correct
Sep 24, 2015 7:51 PM - Mike Glass: maybe they dont understand the color code?
Sep 24, 2015 7:51 PM - donhuevo: so the big chunk of code near the bottom of marlin_main and then the smaller one below that?
Sep 24, 2015 7:52 PM - Mike Glass: so I didnt take it above 50 though if that matters
Sep 24, 2015 7:54 PM - donhuevo: it shouldn't. I think I treated 30 as the bottom (room temp)
Sep 24, 2015 7:54 PM - Mike Glass: the marlin main is identical
Sep 24, 2015 7:55 PM - donhuevo: that last bit handle_neopixels(); runs every loop. the white light is defined and turned on outside the main loop
Sep 24, 2015 7:57 PM - krouton3: its getting there https://i.imgur.com/XSQxWGa.jpg
Sep 24, 2015 7:58 PM - Mike Glass: ok just unplugged the usb and the light came on?
Sep 24, 2015 7:59 PM - donhuevo: they should work whether you're printing from software or printing from an LCD
Sep 24, 2015 7:59 PM - Mike Glass: but my lcd wont work now
Sep 24, 2015 8:00 PM - donhuevo: ummmm......
Sep 24, 2015 8:00 PM - donhuevo: you didn't use my files, right? just copied over the code
Sep 24, 2015 8:00 PM - Mike Glass: ok shut it down for a few seconds lcd works now
Sep 24, 2015 8:01 PM - Mike Glass: nope just copied the changes
Sep 24, 2015 8:01 PM - Mike Glass: nothing from the lcd printing either..hmm verify the pins again.
Sep 24, 2015 8:02 PM - donhuevo: what motherboard number are you running? 33?
Sep 24, 2015 8:03 PM - Mike Glass: yes
Sep 24, 2015 8:03 PM - donhuevo: same here
Sep 24, 2015 8:04 PM - Mike Glass: ook dumbass here
Sep 24, 2015 8:04 PM - donhuevo: what?
Sep 24, 2015 8:05 PM - Mike Glass: wrong pins
Sep 24, 2015 8:06 PM - donhuevo: behaving better now?
Sep 24, 2015 8:06 PM - Mike Glass: wondering where all the smoke was comming from
Sep 24, 2015 8:07 PM - donhuevo: you're messin' with me
Sep 24, 2015 8:07 PM - Mike Glass: so the end neo on the extruder is the light or the heat
Sep 24, 2015 8:08 PM - Mike Glass: the last one
Sep 24, 2015 8:08 PM - donhuevo: heat
Sep 24, 2015 8:08 PM - Mike Glass: I need the last one as the light
Sep 24, 2015 8:08 PM - Mike Glass: it actually looks more white then the one before it
Sep 24, 2015 8:09 PM - donhuevo: k... the section just below void setup()...
Sep 24, 2015 8:09 PM - Mike Glass: its staying white the other one is changing
Sep 24, 2015 8:09 PM - Mike Glass: im good to go
Sep 24, 2015 8:09 PM - donhuevo: I had it backwards?
Sep 24, 2015 8:10 PM - Mike Glass: I believe so
Sep 24, 2015 8:10 PM - donhuevo: well crap. good
Sep 24, 2015 8:10 PM - Mike Glass: bright red is up to temp woohoo
Sep 24, 2015 8:10 PM - donhuevo: whatever your target temp is yes
Sep 24, 2015 8:11 PM - Mike Glass: what is your robo voltage
Sep 24, 2015 8:12 PM - donhuevo: 12
Sep 24, 2015 8:13 PM - Mike Glass: mine shows 12.2
Sep 24, 2015 8:13 PM - donhuevo: oh... I never put a voltmeter on it to get an exact
Sep 24, 2015 8:14 PM - Mike Glass: this convertor has a voltage monitor on it
Sep 24, 2015 8:14 PM - donhuevo: right
Sep 24, 2015 8:14 PM - donhuevo: fancy
Sep 24, 2015 8:14 PM - donhuevo: shmancy
Sep 24, 2015 8:15 PM - Mike Glass: im going to cut a hole in the front so you can see it
Sep 24, 2015 8:15 PM - Mike Glass: I noticed that my bed cork is hanging down
Sep 24, 2015 8:16 PM - donhuevo: my screws tore mine up pretty good
Sep 24, 2015 8:16 PM - Mike Glass: they scrap also,but just on the metal tape
Sep 24, 2015 8:17 PM - Mike Glass: just noticed on of my smooth z rods is bend
Sep 24, 2015 8:17 PM - donhuevo: well, glad you got them going
Sep 24, 2015 8:17 PM - Mike Glass: i mean bent bad..lol
Sep 24, 2015 8:18 PM - Mike Glass: wont even roll on the table
Sep 24, 2015 8:18 PM - donhuevo: what the hell did you do?
Sep 24, 2015 8:18 PM - Mike Glass: It was probably that way from day one, guess I need to order more from amazon

 

Sep 24, 2015 8:18 PM - donhuevo: from tipping it up on it's side?
Sep 24, 2015 8:19 PM - Mike Glass: I have a hard time believing it could bend that easy, and I also never tip it that way.
Sep 24, 2015 8:19 PM - donhuevo: then yeah, probably during shipping
Sep 24, 2015 8:19 PM - Mike Glass: guess I should of check that, oh well
Sep 24, 2015 8:20 PM - Mike Glass: least a 3/16 gap in the middle sitting on the table
Sep 24, 2015 8:20 PM - donhuevo: so next we have to get a servo probe on your machine
Sep 24, 2015 8:21 PM - Mike Glass: yea, I had on the cnc then found it that the part I made it for doesnt move up and down..lol
Sep 24, 2015 8:21 PM - donhuevo: haha
Sep 24, 2015 8:22 PM - Mike Glass: I even had it on thingiverse and people where dl it, I pulled it off asap
Sep 24, 2015 8:22 PM - Mike Glass: dont know what I was thinking
Sep 24, 2015 8:22 PM - donhuevo: that's funny. I like that
Sep 24, 2015 8:23 PM - Mike Glass: so I need 15 1/8 lenghts for smooth rod
Sep 24, 2015 8:23 PM - donhuevo: ok then
Sep 24, 2015 8:24 PM - donhuevo: alrighty... enjoy the light show. I'm headed to bed
Sep 24, 2015 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: thanks for the help
Sep 24, 2015 8:24 PM - Mike Glass: and goodnight
Sep 24, 2015 8:24 PM - donhuevo: no problem
Sep 24, 2015 8:24 PM - donhuevo: see you tomorrow I'm sure
Sep 24, 2015 8:25 PM - Mike Glass: yessum
Sep 24, 2015 8:33 PM - Mattchu: Evening folks.
Sep 24, 2015 8:37 PM - Mattchu: my question for the night: anyone have any experience with PEI and the transfer tape? Or experience with a similar concept (like the zebra boards?)
Sep 24, 2015 8:51 PM - Mike Glass: I havent put mine on yet
Sep 24, 2015 8:52 PM - Mike Glass: suppose to be really nice though
Sep 24, 2015 8:54 PM - Mattchu: I'm looking around town for transfer tape right now hahaha...I got a piece of PEI yesterday...found it immediately was too thin to binder clip down
Sep 24, 2015 8:55 PM - Mattchu: which do you have? the zebra board?
Sep 24, 2015 8:55 PM - Mike Glass: the pei
Sep 24, 2015 8:55 PM - Mike Glass: yea you need the 3m stuff, I got 6 sheets of it..lol
Sep 24, 2015 8:56 PM - Mattchu: yeah my sheet is 1mm...watched it warp up as the bed heated.
Sep 24, 2015 8:57 PM - Mattchu: what size sheets? from where?

 

Sep 24, 2015 9:08 PM - Mattchu: ooooh I thought you meant the PEI
Sep 24, 2015 9:11 PM - Mike Glass: I have that too, I thought you had one
Sep 24, 2015 9:12 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013HKZTA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02
Sep 24, 2015 9:14 PM - Mattchu: I did, I thought you were talking about 1/8" PEI.
Sep 24, 2015 9:18 PM - Mattchu: so you got the 12" sheets then, instead of a roll?
Sep 24, 2015 9:18 PM - Mattchu: actually...pretty much the same price. how tacky is the tape?
Sep 24, 2015 9:30 PM - Mike Glass: not sure havent put it on yet..
Sep 24, 2015 9:42 PM - Mattchu: Oh hehehe
Sep 24, 2015 10:57 PM - Mattchu: ordered the tape. I'll cut it to size to fit my plate.
Sep 25, 2015 12:45 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Sep 25, 2015 3:10 AM - Bill Monroe:
Sep 25, 2015 5:27 AM - jbigler1986: got everything on the dual setup and went to home it to check the nozzle heights. plugged in the x axis wrong. was way to tired to take the bottom cover back off and fix it.
Sep 25, 2015 5:27 AM - Bill Monroe:
Sep 25, 2015 5:28 AM - jbigler1986: woops
Sep 25, 2015 5:29 AM - jbigler1986: need to install a bigger connecter too. 8 pin connector isn't cutting it
Sep 25, 2015 5:31 AM - jbigler1986: that is what i get for not checking all axis before putting it back together
Sep 25, 2015 5:32 AM - daniel871: It's kind of weird that we're both doing similar repairs/mods to the Robo at the same time, haha.
Sep 25, 2015 5:32 AM - daniel871: I got my axes sorted though, it was the stupid controller software inverting jog moves screwing with me.
Sep 25, 2015 5:32 AM - Bill Monroe: soon, your cycles will synch up too
Sep 25, 2015 5:32 AM - daniel871: That's what I get for not checking an app's settings.
Sep 25, 2015 5:34 AM - Bill Monroe: me.. I'm just printing parts
Sep 25, 2015 5:35 AM - daniel871: I plan to be doing that starting this evening, it was pretty late when I figured things out last night so I put off testing actual printing until after work today.
Sep 25, 2015 5:42 AM - daniel871: How much of the Robby have you printed Bill? Have you passed the halfway point yet?
Sep 25, 2015 5:45 AM - danzca6: Morning gents
Sep 25, 2015 5:46 AM - danzca6: anyone interested in an Amazon Prime membership, it's only $67 for a year membership today only
Sep 25, 2015 5:52 AM - daniel871: Already have Prime
Sep 25, 2015 5:53 AM - danzca6: wonder if you could gift it to yourself for the same price
Sep 25, 2015 5:53 AM - danzca6: wish I had an .edu email. Then it's only $49
Sep 25, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: yep i am good until march of next year on prime too
Sep 25, 2015 5:54 AM - jbigler1986: thanks for the heads up though
Sep 25, 2015 5:55 AM - danzca6: Finally bought some cleaning filament from PS. Can't tell if I have a partial clog or not happening. Hopefully this will give some peace of mind and help when changing colors.
Sep 25, 2015 5:56 AM - danzca6: you guys use that stuff?
Sep 25, 2015 6:00 AM - daniel871: I haven't.
Sep 25, 2015 6:00 AM - daniel871: Guess I should though.
Sep 25, 2015 6:05 AM - donhuevo: morning
Sep 25, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Sep 25, 2015 6:10 AM - jbigler1986: i haven't used it either
Sep 25, 2015 6:14 AM - Bill Monroe: don
Sep 25, 2015 6:14 AM - donhuevo: same here
Sep 25, 2015 6:14 AM - donhuevo: hey bill
Sep 25, 2015 6:17 AM - danzca6: when I put the nozzle way off the bed and just manually extrude, it doesn't extrude straight down. It tends to start curling to one side and bunch up. From what I have read, sounds like a partial clog.
Sep 25, 2015 6:18 AM - donhuevo: eh
Sep 25, 2015 6:18 AM - donhuevo: the most minor ding on that brass would do it too I would think
Sep 25, 2015 6:19 AM - danzca6: taking the extruder out this weekend to install the quick release R1+ adapter. So maybe I can get a better look at the nozzle end
Sep 25, 2015 6:20 AM - danzca6: If I take a .4 mm drill bit and manually drive it into the tip, would that "true up" the tip or is that a bad thing to even mess with
Sep 25, 2015 6:21 AM - donhuevo: what temps are you extruding at?
Sep 25, 2015 6:22 AM - danzca6: 200
Sep 25, 2015 6:22 AM - danzca6: PLA
Sep 25, 2015 6:22 AM - Bill Monroe: its a bad thing to do
Sep 25, 2015 6:24 AM - donhuevo: I would use a 4mm drill bit only to rescue a fully clogged nozzle
Sep 25, 2015 6:24 AM - donhuevo: last ditch kind of thing
Sep 25, 2015 6:25 AM - danzca6: ok thanks gents
Sep 25, 2015 6:28 AM - donhuevo: yep... all my nozzles tend to curl and it's never been an issue for me
Sep 25, 2015 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: well, this is interesting
Sep 25, 2015 6:34 AM - Bill Monroe: a plane I inspected failed. But now it's on its way to Lake Tahoe
Sep 25, 2015 6:35 AM - donhuevo: who do you call in a situation like that? the Air Force?
Sep 25, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: well, no one really.. the FAA is reactionary enforcement
Sep 25, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: if it crashes, they'll give them a ticket
Sep 25, 2015 6:36 AM - donhuevo: haha
Sep 25, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N9031U
Sep 25, 2015 6:38 AM - donhuevo: is that the tail number?
Sep 25, 2015 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: yup
Sep 25, 2015 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: calling one of the owners now
Sep 25, 2015 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: left a message
Sep 25, 2015 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: the weather right now is awesome for a flight to tahoe.. took off at dawn... nice
Sep 25, 2015 6:47 AM - donhuevo: lets hope they make it
Sep 25, 2015 6:49 AM - jbigler1986: bla
Sep 25, 2015 6:49 AM - donhuevo: argh
Sep 25, 2015 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe: of course..
Sep 25, 2015 6:49 AM - Bill Monroe: failed due to a rough mag. they could have had it fixed I guess
Sep 25, 2015 6:50 AM - Bill Monroe: or, the pilot could have just ignored it
Sep 25, 2015 6:51 AM - daniel871: Ugh, someone brought in Krispy Kreme donuts.
Sep 25, 2015 6:52 AM - donhuevo: dunkin has pumpkin back on the menu
Sep 25, 2015 6:52 AM - Bill Monroe: I'll stick the the cantelope 2.0 made for me
Sep 25, 2015 6:53 AM - NFOsec: greetings folks.
Sep 25, 2015 6:53 AM - Bill Monroe: NFO
Sep 25, 2015 6:54 AM - donhuevo: morning
Sep 25, 2015 6:54 AM - NFOsec: I'm curious, anyone here seasoned in procurring wholesale type things... I'm looking for commemorative coin blanks (without the sticker/inserts) such as this: http://www.decadeawards.com/Dual-Si...SL_d_DSC_d_2&gclid=CLW50dGrksgCFQ6DaQodtFIGxw
Sep 25, 2015 6:55 AM - NFOsec: bill: probablysoe mone taking a rendevouz?
Sep 25, 2015 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: setting yousefl up to make counterfiet casino tokens?
Sep 25, 2015 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: na.. looks like a ne guy just taking it out for the weekend..
Sep 25, 2015 6:55 AM - NFOsec: no, our deaf club is celebrating 60th year of existance and there are a handful of members who have been members for the past 55-60 years still around.
Sep 25, 2015 6:55 AM - NFOsec: always makes people wonder though eh?
Sep 25, 2015 6:56 AM - NFOsec: doubtful any commercial airliners in the U.S. will ever be commandeered to fly into buildings, but it's everything else...
Sep 25, 2015 6:56 AM - Bill Monroe: there's was a special some time ago about a guy that did that.. very very fascinating
Sep 25, 2015 6:57 AM - Bill Monroe: his work was so good, it took the vegas/reno/atlantic city gendarmes years to figure it out
Sep 25, 2015 6:58 AM - NFOsec: bill: I cringed a couple days ago when I saw a video post blog (vlog) of a person I knew many years ago who has suddenly taken interest in drone flying. Got himself a DJI 2, and he lives less than 2 miles away from a local airport -- he decided to test the 5000 foot elevation camera. Although planes come in and take off from various runways, this done clearly could have been in a flight path.
Sep 25, 2015 6:58 AM - NFOsec: lol.
Sep 25, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: 2 miles.. illegal as soon as he broke gound
Sep 25, 2015 6:59 AM - daniel871: How big is the drone relative to a passenger plane?
Sep 25, 2015 6:59 AM - Bill Monroe: it
Sep 25, 2015 6:59 AM - NFOsec: I had one of these eagles as a sample, turns out they use some type of laminated spongie type insert, took that out and laser-engraved some 2-tone plastic inserts, looked awesome, but I don't want to pay $6 a blank.
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - Bill Monroe: it's a 5 pound 200+ mph bullet
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - NFOsec: well, the drone is like what, 2.5-3 feet
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - NFOsec: yeah.
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - NFOsec: especially stationary ones, add opposite movement and you're expanding that damage.
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - Bill Monroe: birds bring planes down
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - NFOsec: Well, I sort of "reported" it.
Sep 25, 2015 7:00 AM - NFOsec: yeah, seen that.
Sep 25, 2015 7:01 AM - NFOsec: let alone a hard bird with a camera. lol.

 

Sep 25, 2015 7:01 AM - NFOsec: never really liked him anyway, but holy shit the view was incredible which is probably why he ignored regulations (if he even knew).
Sep 25, 2015 7:01 AM - Bill Monroe: there's an online tool somewhere that will show you the areas around you where it's OK to fly RPVs
Sep 25, 2015 7:02 AM - NFOsec: yeah? I may look into that.
Sep 25, 2015 7:02 AM - daniel871: I was just thinking it would be funny for him to be hovering in place and looking away from the airport when the drone gets creamed by the nose of a 747 or something.
Sep 25, 2015 7:03 AM - Bill Monroe: not funny
Sep 25, 2015 7:03 AM - NFOsec: funny, no, but THAT would be something if he's watching in 1st person view of the drone and suddenly has 25k lbs of metal up his arse.
Sep 25, 2015 7:03 AM - danzca6: don't a lot of newer drones have GPS? Too bad they can't program it into the Drone to not allow it to enter restricted air space
Sep 25, 2015 7:04 AM - daniel871: That might actually be a feature of some nav systems.
Sep 25, 2015 7:04 AM - NFOsec: too bad there couldn't be some standardization in this where jammers could block drone frequencies when within X area.
Sep 25, 2015 7:04 AM - daniel871: Probably costs extra though.
Sep 25, 2015 7:04 AM - NFOsec: they can, they do, but not for us.
Sep 25, 2015 7:04 AM - NFOsec: Area 51 purportedly has some interesting air reconnaisance and deterrments.
Sep 25, 2015 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: my neighbor hired a pro drone outfit to video their house for a sales thing.. the guy actally got a permit cuz ther property line is the national park... very professional companyand a MONSTER drone with production HD camera..
Sep 25, 2015 7:05 AM - NFOsec: that is, if it exists. lol. the technology is there, no doubt, just where it is used is another story.
Sep 25, 2015 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: the tech exists..
Sep 25, 2015 7:05 AM - NFOsec: imagine taking off outside of some secret military base, flying over and capturing stuff.. oh wait, they do that from space.
Sep 25, 2015 7:05 AM - NFOsec: yeah bill, I know it does, have seen some.
Sep 25, 2015 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: but it'll interefere with GPS and other microwave ops in the low micro area
Sep 25, 2015 7:06 AM - NFOsec: it's just still "cool tech" factor for me nonetheless.
Sep 25, 2015 7:06 AM - NFOsec: yeah, that's the other part of the equation.
Sep 25, 2015 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: lemme see i that video is still up
Sep 25, 2015 7:06 AM - NFOsec: ah, they're called epoxy dome inserts.
Sep 25, 2015 7:07 AM - NFOsec: ok, able to eliminate one word in the equation of these coins.
Sep 25, 2015 7:07 AM - Bill Monroe: http://www.viddler.com/v/11914127
Sep 25, 2015 7:10 AM - NFOsec: beautiful.
Sep 25, 2015 7:11 AM - WheresWaldo: Morning everyone, what's on today's agenda?
Sep 25, 2015 7:11 AM - danzca6: morning
Sep 25, 2015 7:12 AM - NFOsec: Procuring commemorative coin blanks.
Sep 25, 2015 7:12 AM - NFOsec: greets WW.
Sep 25, 2015 7:12 AM - NFOsec: bill: that place has some pretty interesting lighting/window / natural light scenarios.
Sep 25, 2015 7:13 AM - danzca6: That gate is Road Warrior style
Sep 25, 2015 7:14 AM - Bill Monroe: heh 'spose to look like a fossil.. it's right across the street from my south gate
Sep 25, 2015 7:14 AM - NFOsec: kind of make me think of Mad-Max and the Thunderdrome.
Sep 25, 2015 7:15 AM - daniel871: My agenda is to just get through the day without alerting anyone to me being on vacation next week, "accidentally" leave my work phone at work on the charger and enjoy a full 9 days without going to work.
Sep 25, 2015 7:15 AM - NFOsec: but, definitely nice.
Sep 25, 2015 7:15 AM - Bill Monroe: it's just a wierd place that happens to have been made by top-level craftsmen
Sep 25, 2015 7:15 AM - NFOsec: only the best where no one can appreciate right?
Sep 25, 2015 7:16 AM - Bill Monroe: well, I appreciated it.. used to have lunch with the guys
Sep 25, 2015 7:16 AM - danzca6: Very cool unique place
Sep 25, 2015 7:17 AM - Bill Monroe: scenes for Star Trek were shot there
Sep 25, 2015 7:17 AM - danzca6: get out
Sep 25, 2015 7:17 AM - danzca6: sweet
Sep 25, 2015 7:17 AM - NFOsec: what a way to capture something into history.
Sep 25, 2015 7:17 AM - Bill Monroe: ya.. the owner is a HUGE trek fan.. offered it up for free
Sep 25, 2015 7:18 AM - danzca6: The theme really runs deep throughout the property
Sep 25, 2015 7:18 AM - danzca6: hopefully he got a free blue-ray of the movie
Sep 25, 2015 7:18 AM - Bill Monroe: the scens where sarek and spocks mom were talking right before he was born was shot on the balcony hanging over my place
Sep 25, 2015 7:18 AM - danzca6: of course, maybe it was vhs depending on what movie it was
Sep 25, 2015 7:19 AM - Bill Monroe: the reboot.. with pine
Sep 25, 2015 7:19 AM - NFOsec: film danz, film... get out of the VHS/beta gutter.
Sep 25, 2015 7:19 AM - danzca6: you hang with a pretty cool crowd Bill
Sep 25, 2015 7:19 AM - Bill Monroe: hey, I got to have eggs and bacon on a paper plate with Winona RIder and Ben Cross..
Sep 25, 2015 7:19 AM - NFOsec: yeah, 2.0 seems to think so.
Sep 25, 2015 7:20 AM - Bill Monroe: 2.0 IS the cool crowd
Sep 25, 2015 7:20 AM - Bill Monroe: we had just gotten married when that happened
Sep 25, 2015 7:20 AM - NFOsec: probably what made her say: hey, he's a name dropper!
Sep 25, 2015 7:20 AM - NFOsec: LOL
Sep 25, 2015 7:20 AM - danzca6: living the life Bill
Sep 25, 2015 7:21 AM - Bill Monroe: they sold the place last year, the the CFO of facebook
Sep 25, 2015 7:21 AM - Bill Monroe: now they're doing a log homw in utah
Sep 25, 2015 7:21 AM - NFOsec: can't touch that, but when I was 8 I played a game of chess with Sonny.
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 AM - Bill Monroe: cher's ex or the robot?
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 AM - NFOsec: utah, seems to be the place where people want to go, maybe trying to be part of the 144,000 admitted?
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 AM - NFOsec: cher's ex.
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 AM - Bill Monroe: I stood at a corner with him in Palm Springs waiting for a light to change.. what a nice guy
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 AM - NFOsec: I've met a few people over the years, but never in the sense that it was a starstruck awe type thing.
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 AM - daniel871: Closest I've ever been to any hollywood types was when Edward Scissorhands was being filmed two streets over from where I lived back when I lived in Florida.
Sep 25, 2015 7:23 AM - NFOsec: I created a list of people I'd want to meet, then another list of why I don't want to meet them.
Sep 25, 2015 7:23 AM - daniel871: They built a hilariously tall wooden fence around the houses they were using to keep kids like me from seeing what was going on.
Sep 25, 2015 7:23 AM - NFOsec: lol.
Sep 25, 2015 7:23 AM - NFOsec: can't touch the CFO of Facebook, but I do know the head of their InfoSec.
Sep 25, 2015 7:24 AM - NFOsec: reminds me, college days in Washington, DC, there was some Sheik that owned like 60-80 acres of land in the "area" of Maryland that wanted a 12 foot tall fence of brick built out of it.
Sep 25, 2015 7:24 AM - Bill Monroe: we met him and his wife.. apparently she likes to collect art homes
Sep 25, 2015 7:24 AM - NFOsec: I remember seeing the first 4 acres, don't know what happened since.
Sep 25, 2015 7:25 AM - Bill Monroe: they're been leasing it to fashion magazines for photo shoots, corps for weekend "retreats", etc..
Sep 25, 2015 7:26 AM - Bill Monroe: apple was up here, 2.0 was tending the plants outside the wall.. a group of cars showed up, stopped and asked her how to open the gate
Sep 25, 2015 7:26 AM - Bill Monroe: like she worked there or something
Sep 25, 2015 7:27 AM - Bill Monroe: so she kicked into her "car show hostess" routine... it was hilarious
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - Mike Glass: morning
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - Bill Monroe: MG
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - NFOsec: that would have to be bill.
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Bill
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - daniel871: Is that like when Vanna White used to make exaggerated gestures at the panels on Wheel of Fortune back in the 1980's, except with 2.0 pointing at the button that opens the gate?
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - donhuevo: oh mg
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - Bill Monroe: ya, something like that
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM - Mike Glass: NFO
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - Mike Glass: Don - Lights are cool
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - NFOsec: daniel: they weren't exaggerations, she probably had parkinsons (like Michael J. Fox)
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - NFOsec: MG.
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - donhuevo: great
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - Mike Glass: let me get a pic
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - Bill Monroe: with that perfect smile and vacant look on her face
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - daniel871: Never been to a car show, so was thinking of some other sarcastic pointing motion.
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - NFOsec: no, daniel, it's all about the curves.
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - NFOsec: or as it was said in Legally Blonde -- the bend and snap! works every time!
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - NFOsec: lol.
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 AM - Bill Monroe: omg. the girls are more show than the cars
Sep 25, 2015 7:30 AM - NFOsec: yeah.
Sep 25, 2015 7:30 AM - daniel871: Googled Vanna White to make sure I was spelling her name correctly and she looks a lot like Steven Tyler now.
Sep 25, 2015 7:31 AM - NFOsec: it might be the other way around in some people's eyes daniel.

 

Sep 25, 2015 7:31 AM - NFOsec: Steven Tyler looks more like Vanna.
Sep 25, 2015 7:32 AM - danzca6: Legally Blonde references....I may need to hurl
Sep 25, 2015 7:32 AM - Mike Glass:
Sep 25, 2015 7:33 AM - daniel871: Yeah, I was trying to think of a way to express that sentiment myself, danzca.
Sep 25, 2015 7:33 AM - daniel871: What's 122?
Sep 25, 2015 7:33 AM - Mike Glass: 12.2
Sep 25, 2015 7:33 AM - Bill Monroe:
Sep 25, 2015 7:33 AM - daniel871: When that baby hits 88mm/s, you're going to see some serious shit.
Sep 25, 2015 7:34 AM - danzca6: lol
Sep 25, 2015 7:34 AM - Bill Monroe: I cant tell if that's an exposive or a green tampon
Sep 25, 2015 7:34 AM - Mike Glass: think I want to do two lights for the parts don, what do I need to change other than the 2 to 3 ref.
Sep 25, 2015 7:35 AM - danzca6: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:860524 just add this to the printer
Sep 25, 2015 7:35 AM - donhuevo: I have my bed light tucked in behind this hole...
Sep 25, 2015 7:36 AM - NFOsec: the entire cover under the bed on mine is encapsulated with LEDs, all around the whole machine. needed more light.
Sep 25, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Glass: don?, thats my picture?
Sep 25, 2015 7:37 AM - donhuevo: yes... hard to see but I added a blue circle to it
Sep 25, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Glass: nvm didnt see the circle..lol
Sep 25, 2015 7:37 AM - daniel871: Should've used red
Sep 25, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Glass: yea I was thinking about that but didnt want to attach wires to the moving bed
Sep 25, 2015 7:37 AM - donhuevo: so find this line at the top of void setup() in marlin_main and add another line for your extra part light... ext_neopixel.setPixelColor(1, w);
Sep 25, 2015 7:38 AM - donhuevo: I have chain link conduit under the bed so the pixel wires ride that too
Sep 25, 2015 7:39 AM - Mike Glass: gotacha
Sep 25, 2015 7:39 AM - Mike Glass: going to make a cover for them with some transparents.
Sep 25, 2015 7:39 AM - Mike Glass: maybe some t-glase
Sep 25, 2015 7:40 AM - donhuevo: sounds cool
Sep 25, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Glass: guess how they are mounted.
Sep 25, 2015 7:40 AM - donhuevo: hot glue?
Sep 25, 2015 7:40 AM - Mike Glass: haha yep
Sep 25, 2015 7:40 AM - donhuevo: LOL
Sep 25, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: remove that case and build your own MG
Sep 25, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Glass: on glued to the bottom of the hotend fan and one on the side of the carriage
Sep 25, 2015 7:41 AM - jbigler1986: then you can print taller. I know you like your vases
Sep 25, 2015 7:41 AM - Mike Glass: then I need longer lead screws
Sep 25, 2015 7:42 AM - donhuevo: you were going to buy new z smooth rods anyway
Sep 25, 2015 7:42 AM - Mike Glass: I already spent too much this quarter.
Sep 25, 2015 7:42 AM - donhuevo: good thing we're less than a week from next quarter
Sep 25, 2015 7:42 AM - jbigler1986: sell more signs
Sep 25, 2015 7:44 AM - Mike Glass: sell more or just sell one..lol
Sep 25, 2015 7:44 AM - daniel871:
Sep 25, 2015 7:44 AM - daniel871: Also:
Sep 25, 2015 7:45 AM - Mike Glass: thats a fine ladder
Sep 25, 2015 7:45 AM - Mike Glass: glad he had time to take a picture
Sep 25, 2015 7:45 AM - NFOsec: isn't that ladder the really big little big ladder?
Sep 25, 2015 7:46 AM - daniel871: No idea.
Sep 25, 2015 7:46 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/HNivl1n.gif
Sep 25, 2015 7:46 AM - NFOsec: talk about a roofie.
Sep 25, 2015 7:46 AM - Mike Glass: looks like 4 ladders
Sep 25, 2015 7:46 AM - NFOsec: that was a joke.
Sep 25, 2015 7:47 AM - NFOsec: I think it's called Little Giant Ladders (they have a new one "Extreme")
Sep 25, 2015 7:47 AM - Mike Glass: dummies head flew off..lol
Sep 25, 2015 7:47 AM - NFOsec: yeah.
Sep 25, 2015 7:47 AM - daniel871: Don't know what they were testing for.
Sep 25, 2015 7:48 AM - Mike Glass: NFO, will this work ok http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Ho...2-x24-x-750-/252023396015?hash=item3aadc3d6af
Sep 25, 2015 7:48 AM - NFOsec: filling the tire, it could BLOW.
Sep 25, 2015 7:49 AM - Mike Glass: or is it too thick
Sep 25, 2015 7:50 AM - NFOsec: MG: yeah, I think when I bought mine it was probably from this company, but looks like price is up to 60$ now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honeycomb-T...anized-Iron-/252099613267?hash=item3ab24ed253
Sep 25, 2015 7:50 AM - NFOsec: that one is only 200x300, you want at least the 12x20 size. no, thickness won't be an issue.
Sep 25, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Glass: ok I see the 13.7 "x 21.65
Sep 25, 2015 7:51 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/5KPJZlv.gif
Sep 25, 2015 7:51 AM - NFOsec: but above all, the key is having a flat surface, inperfections in height can impair laser cutting/engraving consistencies.
Sep 25, 2015 7:51 AM - Mike Glass: will that fit on the bed
Sep 25, 2015 7:51 AM - NFOsec: just like 3D printing, gotta be level.
Sep 25, 2015 7:52 AM - NFOsec: bed is a little bigger space with the threaded rods on all 4 corners, so it fits inside that space.
Sep 25, 2015 7:52 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honeycomb-T...c98610d&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=252099613267 so this is the one you have?
Sep 25, 2015 7:53 AM - NFOsec: measuring, I think mine was clearly marked 300x500 or something like 11.97" x 19.xx inches.
Sep 25, 2015 7:55 AM - Mike Glass: so would the 13.7x21.65 actually fit?
Sep 25, 2015 7:55 AM - NFOsec: yeah, those are the specs.
Sep 25, 2015 7:55 AM - NFOsec: let me pull actual bed space and my honeycomb's actual numbers. 1 sec.
Sep 25, 2015 7:56 AM - Mike Glass: ok
Sep 25, 2015 7:59 AM - daniel871: My favorite pic taken by a drone.
Sep 25, 2015 7:59 AM - Mike Glass: battery bomb
Sep 25, 2015 8:00 AM - daniel871: Like that little battery in the worst Terminator movie.
Sep 25, 2015 8:00 AM - NFOsec: mine seems to be something like 13-5/8ths and 20-3/4, the threaded table legs appear to be 22" (or close to 21.7) from the width inside edge, so I wouldn't go bigger than 20.25 as it appears or you won't be able to fit it within the legs, only in the center of the table which would take away from height space.
Sep 25, 2015 8:00 AM - Mike Kelly: morning
Sep 25, 2015 8:01 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Sep 25, 2015 8:01 AM - Mike Glass: well poop
Sep 25, 2015 8:02 AM - Mike Glass: morning MK
Sep 25, 2015 8:02 AM - NFOsec: this was what I had. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231342194325?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Sep 25, 2015 8:02 AM - NFOsec: jbig, MK.
Sep 25, 2015 8:03 AM - NFOsec: the reason is if you need the extra space you can trivet, this is for most objects falling within the 12x18 range for quick cut/clean use.
Sep 25, 2015 8:04 AM - Mike Glass: that was still lists as 350x550 same as the other, strange
Sep 25, 2015 8:05 AM - daniel871: Hahaha.
Sep 25, 2015 8:05 AM - NFOsec: yeah, I ran into that a few times, so just verify, verify, verify.
Sep 25, 2015 8:05 AM - NFOsec: lovely.
Sep 25, 2015 8:06 AM - NFOsec: almost seemed staged.
Sep 25, 2015 8:06 AM - daniel871: I like how everything went to hell for them after they turned the lights off.
Sep 25, 2015 8:09 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Sep 25, 2015 8:09 AM - daniel871: Now this, this is staged. http://forgifs.com/gallery/d/207129-3/Wrestler-smacks-punches-fan.gif
Sep 25, 2015 8:09 AM - jbigler1986: ok. no more
Sep 25, 2015 8:09 AM - Mike Kelly: yeah daniel seriously, just link gifs
Sep 25, 2015 8:10 AM - NFOsec: yeah, no one would ever naturally fold their arm in to turn and fall.
Sep 25, 2015 8:10 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/ckMYDmb.gif
Sep 25, 2015 8:11 AM - Mike Kelly: lol that squirrel
Sep 25, 2015 8:11 AM - NFOsec: I want.
Sep 25, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: what am i looking at here
Sep 25, 2015 8:12 AM - NFOsec: OMG, love that daniel.
Sep 25, 2015 8:12 AM - jbigler1986: mk what do you think about having the hotend fan mounts integrated into the carriage?
Sep 25, 2015 8:12 AM - NFOsec: it's a 2" commemorative coin blank.
Sep 25, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: hmmmm
Sep 25, 2015 8:12 AM - Mike Kelly: i suppose that's possible

 

Sep 25, 2015 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: bc if they aren't aligned perfectly then the hotend fan mounts likes to fall
Sep 25, 2015 8:13 AM - NFOsec: btw, MK, etc. you guys mentioned screw/stud that the thermistor PSolid sells is ideal, but for the hex (my set up) I need to tap the heat block for it?
Sep 25, 2015 8:13 AM - jbigler1986: yes NFO
Sep 25, 2015 8:13 AM - NFOsec: I'm seeing plenty of problems with heat consistency now.
Sep 25, 2015 8:13 AM - Mike Kelly: correct
Sep 25, 2015 8:13 AM - NFOsec: ok.
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: fan mount likes to fail?
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - jbigler1986: fall. like slide down
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: ohhh
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - Mike Kelly: that's why i have the hole for zip ties
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - NFOsec: I need to order the damn thing, aside from actually putting a whole roll of kapton table on this block with the thing and that black baby-making preventor, it's a pain.
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - daniel871: This is what happens when someone forgets to disarm the evacuation slides before opening the door.
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 AM - NFOsec: can't reach and keep consistent temps. Robo should default to stud/screw.
Sep 25, 2015 8:15 AM - NFOsec: LOL
Sep 25, 2015 8:15 AM - NFOsec: imagine getting caught in between there?
Sep 25, 2015 8:15 AM - daniel871: Would be a mess.
Sep 25, 2015 8:15 AM - daniel871: Kind of like this story. http://www.whas11.com/story/news/20...er-spotting-spider-leading-to-crash/72537184/
Sep 25, 2015 8:16 AM - Mike Kelly: people are so weird about spiders
Sep 25, 2015 8:16 AM - daniel871: I'm getting ads for Printed Solid on that page. lol
Sep 25, 2015 8:17 AM - daniel871: I feel bad for the 9 year old she abandoned to the wrath of a spider and moving vehicle.
Sep 25, 2015 8:17 AM - Mike Kelly: i hope she gets charged with child endagerment
Sep 25, 2015 8:17 AM - NFOsec: aha. actually, that's a classic alibi.
Sep 25, 2015 8:18 AM - NFOsec: she was trying to kill him. failed.
Sep 25, 2015 8:18 AM - NFOsec: in fact, she should hve taken a bullet for the kid, let alone a simple spider bite.
Sep 25, 2015 8:18 AM - jbigler1986: ^
Sep 25, 2015 8:18 AM - daniel871: Nah.
Sep 25, 2015 8:18 AM - NFOsec: then, in court, the kid fesses up "sorry mommy, it was my plastic spider ring".
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - daniel871: Kid is going to have some killer comebacks as a teen when she tries to guilt trip him about something.
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - jbigler1986: some parents just are not fit to be a parent
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - Mike Kelly: hahaha
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - NFOsec: yeah, no kidding.
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - NFOsec: Look MOMMY, A REAL SPIDER...
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - NFOsec: will watch arachnaphobia and plenty of other scary spider movies.
Sep 25, 2015 8:19 AM - jbigler1986: lol
Sep 25, 2015 8:20 AM - NFOsec: may dress up as a spider during halloween (or in don's support, a unicorn)
Sep 25, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: "No, you shut up mom, you left me to die in a moving car with a spider"
Sep 25, 2015 8:20 AM - NFOsec: daniel: yeah, or: "good night mom, I love you, sleep tight, d'ont let the spiders bite"
Sep 25, 2015 8:20 AM - daniel871: Now, if it had been this particular spider, I might not blame her.
Sep 25, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: that kids gonna have a killer party house "ok mom i'm gonna have a party here every weekend, because you left me to die by a spider"
Sep 25, 2015 8:21 AM - Mike Kelly: touche daniel
Sep 25, 2015 8:21 AM - jbigler1986: in indiana we don't have them that large
Sep 25, 2015 8:21 AM - daniel871: "Hey, can you get the spare house keys I left in the visor?"
Sep 25, 2015 8:21 AM - NFOsec: you do, they're called politicians.
Sep 25, 2015 8:22 AM - jbigler1986: ha
Sep 25, 2015 8:22 AM - NFOsec: they're crawling around everywherre and the bite when they feel like it.
Sep 25, 2015 8:23 AM - jbigler1986: my ex would do that kind of stuff all of the time. "There is a spider in here. Come kill it." (or any bug)
Sep 25, 2015 8:24 AM - NFOsec: funny, that's what I tell my wife.
Sep 25, 2015 8:24 AM - NFOsec: it's half your spider, you kill it.
Sep 25, 2015 8:25 AM - NFOsec: (living in a 50% community law state)
Sep 25, 2015 8:25 AM - Mike Kelly: i always feel bad killing spiders, spiders are cool guys
Sep 25, 2015 8:25 AM - NFOsec: they are, I usually like to just displace them 20 feet outside.
Sep 25, 2015 8:25 AM - NFOsec: unfortunately most of the time they're carefully wrapped in a strategically multifacet fold paper towel.
Sep 25, 2015 8:26 AM - jbigler1986: not me. I kill them all inside. idk why I dislike them
Sep 25, 2015 8:26 AM - Mike Kelly: i kill them if my wife finds em, if i find it i'll just leave it be
Sep 25, 2015 8:27 AM - Mike Kelly: in other news great american beer festival is tomorrow

Sep 25, 2015 8:29 AM - Mike Kelly: whoa
Sep 25, 2015 8:29 AM - NFOsec: I think he might have gotten hoof in mouth disease.
Sep 25, 2015 8:30 AM - daniel871: Looks like the hoof only hit the camera.
Sep 25, 2015 8:30 AM - jbigler1986: very lucky
Sep 25, 2015 8:32 AM - daniel871: Do this to your ex, JB. http://i.imgur.com/Z60rGIf.gif

Sep 25, 2015 10:28 AM - bamhm182: Somehow that LA Times article doesn't surprise me
Sep 25, 2015 10:29 AM - bamhm182: I mean, not to be racist, but Saudis have a very different view on life and women
Sep 25, 2015 10:29 AM - danzca6: afternoon bam
Sep 25, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: that's not racist as saudi's are a culture
Sep 25, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: and saudi's are totally fucked up
Sep 25, 2015 10:29 AM - Mike Kelly: their whole country is one giant shit show
Sep 25, 2015 10:31 AM - bamhm182: There's this Saudi guy with a bunch of crazy pets, like tigers and such, that has all these vines of him just like wrestling with them and what not

Sep 25, 2015 10:38 AM - bamhm182: Nor is it mine, I just kinda had a lot of Arabic blown into my brain for a year and a half, so some of it stuck
Sep 25, 2015 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: hopefully figuratively
Sep 25, 2015 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: man what is people's obsession with hazelnut coffee
Sep 25, 2015 10:41 AM - Mike Kelly: it's... not good
Sep 25, 2015 10:41 AM - bamhm182: Didn't feel like it at the time. The class was WAY too fast paced to feel comfortable
Sep 25, 2015 10:41 AM - donhuevo: and back
Sep 25, 2015 10:42 AM - bamhm182: I don't like it either. Coconut Creamer on the other hand, that's where it's ay
Sep 25, 2015 10:42 AM - PeterkSharma: what obsession?
Sep 25, 2015 10:42 AM - PeterkSharma: I'm all about the heavy cream and sugar
Sep 25, 2015 10:42 AM - donhuevo: you can tell a lot about a culture from the porn it produces
Sep 25, 2015 10:42 AM - Mike Kelly: black is the only way to enjoy cofee

Sep 25, 2015 10:47 AM - bamhm182: Valid argument
Sep 25, 2015 10:47 AM - bamhm182: Still gross though
Sep 25, 2015 10:47 AM - PeterkSharma: i usually go for a double espresso, but drip coffee is just too light. needs the cream
Sep 25, 2015 10:47 AM - PeterkSharma: black coffee just tastes like bitter water
Sep 25, 2015 10:50 AM - Mike Kelly: like i said, drink better coffee
Sep 25, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: if your idea of "good" coffee is starbucks coffee or dunkin donuts, you're not drinking good coffee
Sep 25, 2015 10:51 AM - bamhm182: Well, I've got to mail this printer before going to work, so I'd better split. I'll see you all around
Sep 25, 2015 10:51 AM - Mike Kelly: later bam
Sep 25, 2015 10:51 AM - bamhm182: Who would drink Dunkin Donuts... *shifty eyes*
Sep 25, 2015 10:52 AM - donhuevo: I'm a Dunkin fan
Sep 25, 2015 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: that's what this coffee is
Sep 25, 2015 10:54 AM - Mike Kelly: it's... not good
Sep 25, 2015 10:55 AM - PeterkSharma: lol i though folgers was great coffee

Sep 25, 2015 10:58 AM - daniel871: Also, holy shit. Whoever was in charge of record tranfers for when Piedmont Healthcare bought the clinic my Urologist worked for needs a beating.
Sep 25, 2015 10:58 AM - daniel871: My file says I have all of the diseases, literally. Wtf.
Sep 25, 2015 10:59 AM - PeterkSharma: get some good drugs and make some money
Sep 25, 2015 11:00 AM - daniel871: Waiting for their "tech support" to straighten it out while I'm here to find out the results from my last blood work lab.
Sep 25, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: you're like mr burns
Sep 25, 2015 11:01 AM - daniel871: Yeah, I'm surprised my health insurance isn't freaking out and calling about all of the automated prescription submissions.
Sep 25, 2015 11:01 AM - Mike Kelly: "you have every disease known to man"
Sep 25, 2015 11:02 AM - daniel871: Maybe the pharmacy isn't submitting any of them since it is clearly wrong.
Sep 25, 2015 11:03 AM - daniel871: If this somehow ends up costing me money I'll be pissed.
Sep 25, 2015 11:09 AM - Mike Kelly: always make me laugh "Your timesheet has now been submitted" [YES]

Sep 25, 2015 11:17 AM - donhuevo: it's nice being able to see where it's at warmup-wise from across the room
Sep 25, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Kelly: that thing you use when you have to charge to projects
Sep 25, 2015 11:18 AM - Mike Glass: now just need to add a flashing light sequence when the print is done
Sep 25, 2015 11:19 AM - donhuevo: shouldn't be hard to pull off
Sep 25, 2015 11:20 AM - jbigler1986: disco ball is next
Sep 25, 2015 11:20 AM - donhuevo: and a subwoofer
Sep 25, 2015 11:21 AM - jbigler1986: gold chains hanging from the smooth rods
Sep 25, 2015 11:21 AM - donhuevo: yes sir
Sep 25, 2015 11:25 AM - Mike Glass: I rebent my rod back into shape last night should be ok, or good enough till I get some replacements
Sep 25, 2015 11:26 AM - danzca6: that's what she said
Sep 25, 2015 11:27 AM - jbigler1986: getting rough with your rod MG? Might want to keep that info between you and the Mrs.
Sep 25, 2015 11:27 AM - Mike Glass: reflashing the firmware also made my bed leveling work again
Sep 25, 2015 11:27 AM - donhuevo: yay!
Sep 25, 2015 11:28 AM - jbigler1986: so software did fix a hardware problem.
Sep 25, 2015 11:29 AM - Mike Glass: so now need to work on, 2 headlights 2 part lights and one heat light for the new carriage
Sep 25, 2015 11:29 AM - Bill Monroe: no.. bad software
Sep 25, 2015 11:30 AM - Bill Monroe: mind you, I never said software cant fix a hardware problem, I said one should never do that.
Sep 25, 2015 11:31 AM - Bill Monroe: for instance, if MGs machine was pefectly square and level, you wouldnt even need to have that code in the machine
Sep 25, 2015 11:31 AM - jbigler1986: but the autolevel is the greatest thing ever
Sep 25, 2015 11:34 AM - donhuevo: if you're doing headlights, you may as well do turn signals too
Sep 25, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: ohhh
Sep 25, 2015 11:34 AM - Mike Glass: need smaller lights then
Sep 25, 2015 11:34 AM - jbigler1986: just make sure you get a "certified" dial gauge
Sep 25, 2015 11:35 AM - Mike Glass: I think my $500 calipers will do
Sep 25, 2015 11:35 AM - donhuevo: maybe get them inside the plastic with a small opening
Sep 25, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: or where they $5,
Sep 25, 2015 11:36 AM - PeterkSharma: is a $500 caliper worth the money?
Sep 25, 2015 11:36 AM - PeterkSharma: never heard of one
Sep 25, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: I really dont want to reprint that turd
Sep 25, 2015 11:36 AM - jbigler1986: http://www.amazon.com/NOSHOK-Stainl...F8&qid=1443206452&sr=1-15&keywords=dial+gauge wtf
Sep 25, 2015 11:36 AM - Mike Glass: No we are just making fun of some that think they need certified crap
Sep 25, 2015 11:38 AM - jbigler1986: MG $5 is to expensive. Gotta find the dollar ones from the dollar store
Sep 25, 2015 11:38 AM - Mike Glass: hey JB some people just price stuff real expensive cause there are people with too much money and see that and say "it must be the best" so they will buy it.
Sep 25, 2015 11:39 AM - Mike Glass: ugg, bbl gotta go to the datacenter.
Sep 25, 2015 11:58 AM - daniel871: I'm only thinking of one that thinks calipers have to be certified like that.
Sep 25, 2015 11:58 AM - Mike Kelly: 100,000 psi
Sep 25, 2015 11:58 AM - Mike Kelly: holy hel
Sep 25, 2015 11:59 AM - daniel871: http://i.imgur.com/d32KIsa.gif
Sep 25, 2015 12:00 PM - Mike Kelly: lmao
Sep 25, 2015 12:23 PM - Mike Glass: lets not toy around daniel, get to the point
Sep 25, 2015 12:33 PM - jbigler1986: lol
Sep 25, 2015 12:34 PM - Mike Kelly: what's a good table height for the MPCNC/
Sep 25, 2015 12:35 PM - Mike Glass: do you want chips in your pockets or in your shirt
Sep 25, 2015 12:35 PM - Mike Kelly: probably pocket
Sep 25, 2015 12:35 PM - Mike Kelly: i have it at 31.5 right now in the model but it looks a little short
Sep 25, 2015 12:36 PM - Mike Glass: 38 is about where mine is

 

Sep 25, 2015 12:37 PM - Mike Glass: maybe 36
Sep 25, 2015 12:37 PM - jbigler1986: i want chips in my mouth
Sep 25, 2015 12:38 PM - Mike Glass: it may not be that tall have to look at the specs for those folding work tables and add a few inches
Sep 25, 2015 12:42 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Keter-21...k-Table-with-Adjustable-Legs-217679/205440787 this plus about 3" is where im at.
Sep 25, 2015 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: i really want that table, i need something to help me support large pieces during cuts
Sep 25, 2015 12:42 PM - Mike Glass: so between 36 and 38
Sep 25, 2015 12:42 PM - Mike Kelly: cutting 4x8 is a huge pita
Sep 25, 2015 12:43 PM - Mike Glass: yea, I got mine for like $50 a piece but can remeber where.
Sep 25, 2015 12:43 PM - Mike Glass: really like them
Sep 25, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Glass: not the best solution for the cnc though
Sep 25, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Kelly: wish i had more disposable income
Sep 25, 2015 12:44 PM - Mike Glass: Credit, go in debt to the hilt like all the other people in this country..lol
Sep 25, 2015 12:46 PM - Mike Kelly: "I'll be rich someday!"
Sep 25, 2015 12:46 PM - Mike Kelly: just need to figure out how to make more money on the side
Sep 25, 2015 12:46 PM - Mike Glass: I know people that owe so much on credit cards, not sure how they even can live with all that interest they pay.
Sep 25, 2015 12:46 PM - Mike Kelly: or get a better paying job
Sep 25, 2015 12:46 PM - daniel871: Hey Mike, did you see this when looking into Ebay laser CNC machines? http://richardgrisafi.com/2014/10/10/setup-and-maintenance-of-a-40w-laser-cutter-from-ebay/
Sep 25, 2015 12:47 PM - Mike Glass: yea I heard those lower models are crap, but what do expect for $350
Sep 25, 2015 12:47 PM - daniel871: That guy is going through how to get one working and what to look out for at least.
Sep 25, 2015 12:49 PM - daniel871: LOL, just got to the part where he was cutting his desk in half because the laser cut thru itself.
Sep 25, 2015 12:49 PM - Mike Glass: yea actually NFO sent me a plethura of information.
Sep 25, 2015 12:51 PM - daniel871: One more hour until the weekend starts.
Sep 25, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: http://makezine.com/2015/09/24/printrbot-crawlbot-review/
Sep 25, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Glass: did you ever see their portable one. its amazing
Sep 25, 2015 12:52 PM - Mike Kelly: nope
Sep 25, 2015 12:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm gonna finish this design then go home i think
Sep 25, 2015 12:56 PM - Mike Kelly:

Sep 25, 2015 1:11 PM - danzca6: gg, the whole selfie thing is getting crazy
Sep 25, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: agreed
Sep 25, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: selfies are retarded
Sep 25, 2015 1:14 PM - Mike Kelly: the fact that you took the picture was proof enough you were there
Sep 25, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: http://imgur.com/gallery/IwN2qNd
Sep 25, 2015 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: lmao
Sep 25, 2015 1:15 PM - Mike Kelly: no one wants to see your big dumb face in the picture
Sep 25, 2015 1:15 PM - jbigler1986: people dying using selfie sticks is crazy
Sep 25, 2015 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: yup, good riddance
Sep 25, 2015 1:16 PM - Mike Kelly: selfie sticks are basically the dumbest thing ever invented
Sep 25, 2015 1:16 PM - jbigler1986: anyone like sushi
Sep 25, 2015 1:18 PM - jbigler1986:
Sep 25, 2015 1:19 PM - jbigler1986: that sushi place is amazing
Sep 25, 2015 1:23 PM - Mike Glass: ass
Sep 25, 2015 1:27 PM - jbigler1986: well
Sep 25, 2015 1:32 PM - Mike Kelly: mmm
Sep 25, 2015 1:32 PM - Mike Kelly: i love sushi but pretty much just nigiri
Sep 25, 2015 1:33 PM - jbigler1986: i love the rolls
Sep 25, 2015 1:34 PM - jbigler1986: they have a softshell crap one that is amazing
Sep 25, 2015 1:41 PM - Mike Glass: figured you like crap..lol
Sep 25, 2015 1:47 PM - Mike Kelly: i tend to avoid eating crap
Sep 25, 2015 1:49 PM - daniel871: The one time I tried sushi I crapped what seemed like far more than I'd eaten.
Sep 25, 2015 1:50 PM - Mike Kelly: and then there's daniel
Sep 25, 2015 1:51 PM - jbigler1986: well gas station sushi will do that to you
Sep 25, 2015 2:23 PM - danzca6: got my package of replacement parts from ROBO today when I got home
Sep 25, 2015 2:23 PM - danzca6: what is a good way to check the leadscrews to make sure they are straight
Sep 25, 2015 2:24 PM - danzca6: I bought 2 new smooth rods for the Z, and they are not straight
Sep 25, 2015 2:24 PM - Mike Kelly: hold the motor against a table on it's side, then spin the threaded rod from the bottom and see if it wobbles at the top
Sep 25, 2015 2:26 PM - danzca6: ok, well that panned out at least
Sep 25, 2015 2:26 PM - danzca6: the threads are way different than my current screws
Sep 25, 2015 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: yup
Sep 25, 2015 2:26 PM - Mike Kelly: TR8*4
Sep 25, 2015 2:27 PM - danzca6: a lot courser
Sep 25, 2015 2:27 PM - danzca6: I thought the only change would be the coupler gone
Sep 25, 2015 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: na, you don't want to use M8 thread on a lead screw tbh
Sep 25, 2015 2:27 PM - Mike Kelly: trapezoidal is much better
Sep 25, 2015 2:28 PM - danzca6: looking worth the money already...now to find the time tonight to install...can't wait to see how it works afterwards
Sep 25, 2015 2:29 PM - danzca6: Hopefully Jerry will send me a new set of smooth rods. One just flops when I try to roll it on the table
Sep 25, 2015 2:29 PM - Mike Glass: im still not sure it is worth $100, I had my old one dialed in pretty good. no real print quality noticedunder the microscope
Sep 25, 2015 2:29 PM - Mike Kelly: it's a pretty quick install
Sep 25, 2015 2:30 PM - Mike Kelly: my MkR1 didn't gain much, mostly piece of mind
Sep 25, 2015 2:30 PM - Mike Kelly: my R1.7 was a very noted improvement
Sep 25, 2015 2:31 PM - Mike Glass: yea other than slipping in the hc is what I had issues with.
Sep 25, 2015 2:31 PM - Mike Glass: Centering was the key though
Sep 25, 2015 2:32 PM - danzca6: hc?
Sep 25, 2015 2:32 PM - Mike Glass: Helical connectors
Sep 25, 2015 2:32 PM - Mike Glass: motor to threaded screws
Sep 25, 2015 2:33 PM - danzca6: ok, that is a new term to me. Thanks
Sep 25, 2015 2:33 PM - Mike Glass: You can just call them shit
Sep 25, 2015 2:34 PM - danzca6: heh
Sep 25, 2015 2:35 PM - Mike Glass: Hey MK did you see how the bot cnc worked?
Sep 25, 2015 2:35 PM - Mike Glass: looked kinda simple to build
Sep 25, 2015 2:36 PM - danzca6: the printrbot one?
Sep 25, 2015 2:36 PM - Mike Glass: yea
Sep 25, 2015 2:36 PM - danzca6: that one was pretty costly
Sep 25, 2015 2:36 PM - Mike Glass: they had belts screwed to the platform and it used the belts to move.
Sep 25, 2015 2:37 PM - Mike Glass: Yea, I bet I could build it for around $400
Sep 25, 2015 2:38 PM - danzca6: that is more my price point
Sep 25, 2015 2:38 PM - Mike Kelly: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-85-610-10-Inch-MaxGrip-Adjustable/dp/B00009OYGZ/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t never seen something like this before
Sep 25, 2015 2:38 PM - Mike Glass: thats about what I built my 28x20 cnc I have now for.
Sep 25, 2015 2:39 PM - danzca6: never seen one of those either
Sep 25, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Glass: the stanley-grip..lol nice
Sep 25, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Kelly: 28x20 isn't your cut area though
Sep 25, 2015 2:39 PM - Mike Glass: within a 1/2 inch
Sep 25, 2015 2:40 PM - danzca6: mg, can yours handle surfaces that aren't real flat? Sounds like the crawlbot needs a flat surface
Sep 25, 2015 2:40 PM - Mike Kelly: oh i thought you were like 18
Sep 25, 2015 2:40 PM - Mike Glass: its 19 or so but I dont go over that
Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: i'm thinking about leaving early today and cleaning off my wood working bench so i can assembly the table for my mpcnc
Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Kelly: got most the pieces cut
Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Glass: I could do some kind of autolevel within marlin for it i suppose if I had a autolevel setup
Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM - danzca6: sounds like a good idea mk
Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM - Mike Glass: not sure how that would work though

 

Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM - danzca6: what is the z height on the one you are building
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - danzca6: is 2" pretty standard
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah you rarely would need/want more than that
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - Mike Glass: mine will go up to 40mm height, util I put bigger legs on it, which i may do this weekend.
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - Mike Kelly: since your real limiting factor on Z height is the bit length
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - Mike Kelly: are you making another set of adjustables mike
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - Mike Glass: The only reason I want to go tall right now is to use a longer bit for hogging out foamboard.
Sep 25, 2015 2:42 PM - danzca6: oh...that's true with subtractive manufacturing
Sep 25, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Glass: yea mk picked up parts last night.
Sep 25, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: http://woodgears.ca/jointer/homemade.html
Sep 25, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: nice
Sep 25, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: what length are you going for this time
Sep 25, 2015 2:43 PM - Mike Kelly: i really want a jointer/planar
Sep 25, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: but i have no room for that
Sep 25, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Glass: neat, I have 2 already
Sep 25, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: i don't even have room for the CNC
Sep 25, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Glass: 2 joiners and one planer
Sep 25, 2015 2:44 PM - Mike Kelly: jealous
Sep 25, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: one is a jet and one is on the shopsmith
Sep 25, 2015 2:45 PM - Mike Glass: I really dont use them alot, more the planer then anything
Sep 25, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly:
Sep 25, 2015 2:46 PM - Mike Kelly: i like how she converted the handheld one into a stationary
Sep 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: though i still don't understand how you use a manual planar
Sep 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Glass: wondering what that was
Sep 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: i feel like i'd remove too much material
Sep 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Glass: it has not adjustment though
Sep 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: apparently there's a wood working class at the community college right behind my house
Sep 25, 2015 2:47 PM - Mike Kelly: considering looking into that
Sep 25, 2015 2:51 PM - Mike Glass: going to attempt to build one of these this weekend. http://www.roughcountryrusticfurnit...LLER_***Hidden_Compartment_American_Flag.html
Sep 25, 2015 2:51 PM - danzca6: so these new z-sensor brackets on the upgrade kit...does the vertical wing part actually clip to the x carriage end? How does that work with the autolevel
Sep 25, 2015 2:52 PM - danzca6: oh, looks like there is enough play to still activate the switch
Sep 25, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Kelly: looks nice mg
Sep 25, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Glass: it clips on to hold it you dont have to have it on there
Sep 25, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it clips on but still allows some Z travel
Sep 25, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Glass: wait I guess you do
Sep 25, 2015 2:52 PM - Mike Kelly: it's a means of preventing "throwing the nuts" and getting the wires all twisted on
Sep 25, 2015 2:53 PM - danzca6: I saw you use that term and wondered if that is what you meant. I would hate to throw my nuts
Sep 25, 2015 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah it's a pretty great one
Sep 25, 2015 2:53 PM - Mike Kelly: i think the late melody bliss coined it, or brought it here
Sep 25, 2015 2:54 PM - danzca6: well, I think I will replace these, then print your quick release, and then take it apart again to install that. Don't want the ribbing on the spacer to interfere with the close tolerance
Sep 25, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: for sure
Sep 25, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Kelly: ok i think i've been here all i can take today, gonna head home and tinker
Sep 25, 2015 2:55 PM - Mike Glass: yay
Sep 25, 2015 3:15 PM - jbigler1986: mk
Sep 25, 2015 3:16 PM - Mike Kelly: jb
Sep 25, 2015 3:18 PM - jbigler1986: i just need to add the 2nd extruder in s3d right?
Sep 25, 2015 3:18 PM - Mike Kelly: yeah and the temperature control
Sep 25, 2015 3:19 PM - jbigler1986: don't need to worry about offset bc it's in the firmware?
Sep 25, 2015 3:19 PM - Mike Kelly: yes
Sep 25, 2015 3:20 PM - jbigler1986: hmm
Sep 25, 2015 3:21 PM - jbigler1986: "you do not have any profiles that support dual extrusion"
Sep 25, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcez15dlf027jid/MKR1.fff?dl=0
Sep 25, 2015 3:23 PM - Mike Kelly: here's my machine profile
Sep 25, 2015 3:23 PM - jbigler1986: what am i missing
Sep 25, 2015 3:24 PM - jbigler1986: i added the 2nd extruder
Sep 25, 2015 3:26 PM - jbigler1986: temps and extruder tab
Sep 25, 2015 3:26 PM - Mike Kelly: did you select Tool 1 for the second extruder
Sep 25, 2015 3:27 PM - jbigler1986: yep in both tabs
Sep 25, 2015 3:28 PM - Mike Kelly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yl219a46jhl0oi9/MK Factory 9-25.factory?dl=0 here's my factory
Sep 25, 2015 3:30 PM - jbigler1986: have enough processes? lol
Sep 25, 2015 3:32 PM - jbigler1986: do you have to use the dual extrusion wizard?
Sep 25, 2015 3:32 PM - jbigler1986: i added your factory and your process and I still get the same error. slut
Sep 25, 2015 3:34 PM - Mike Kelly: no i didn't, how are you trying to setup a dual print?
Sep 25, 2015 3:35 PM - jbigler1986: watching how to use the dual extrusion wizard.
Sep 25, 2015 3:39 PM - jbigler1986: creating a newprofile
Sep 25, 2015 3:41 PM - Mike Kelly: good idea
Sep 25, 2015 3:41 PM - jbigler1986: that didn't work.
Sep 25, 2015 3:42 PM - jbigler1986: i have both stls loaded. settings all correct. hmmm
Sep 25, 2015 3:42 PM - Mike Kelly: you selected one model in each profile?
Sep 25, 2015 3:44 PM - jbigler1986: process?
Sep 25, 2015 3:47 PM - Mike Kelly: right
Sep 25, 2015 3:47 PM - jbigler1986: got it
Sep 25, 2015 3:47 PM - Mike Kelly: what was the ticket
Sep 25, 2015 3:48 PM - jbigler1986: changing the layer tab to the 2nd extruder in the 2nd process
Sep 25, 2015 3:49 PM - jbigler1986:
Sep 25, 2015 3:53 PM - jbigler1986: x is inverted. hmmm
Sep 25, 2015 3:53 PM - jbigler1986: lets see if inverting it in the firmware works
Sep 25, 2015 3:55 PM - jbigler1986: yep
Sep 25, 2015 4:00 PM - jbigler1986: if looking at the first extruder and the 2nd nozlle is to the right would that be a + or - offset
Sep 25, 2015 4:02 PM - Mike Kelly: if extruder 1 is the one closer to you, the second one would be in the positive Y
Sep 25, 2015 4:03 PM - jbigler1986: i have that. y offset is 22.3
Sep 25, 2015 4:04 PM - jbigler1986: x offset is a little off. just need to know if i would do 3 or -3
Sep 25, 2015 4:04 PM - Mike Kelly: oh
Sep 25, 2015 4:04 PM - Mike Kelly: hmm
Sep 25, 2015 4:04 PM - Mike Kelly: i dunno that's hard
Sep 25, 2015 4:04 PM - Mike Kelly: 3 is a lot, do you mean .3?
Sep 25, 2015 4:05 PM - jbigler1986: nope. it's 3
Sep 25, 2015 4:05 PM - jbigler1986: i will try positive
Sep 25, 2015 4:10 PM - jbigler1986: here we go
Sep 25, 2015 4:39 PM - Mike Glass: and?
Sep 25, 2015 4:46 PM - danzca6: mg, were you the one that said you had bent smooth rods earlier?
Sep 25, 2015 4:51 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Sep 25, 2015 4:53 PM - danzca6: what did you do to try straightening them? Just bend them over your knee?
Sep 25, 2015 4:57 PM - danzca6: my stock ones have a bit of a wobble on a smooth surface as well. Not as bad as the new ones though. I just wondered how much that would factor into quality of print
Sep 25, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: pretty much got them pretty close, it was just one, but was wondering why my prints where kinda funny
Sep 25, 2015 5:08 PM - Mike Glass: well since thats what guides them, probably pretty important.
Sep 25, 2015 5:09 PM - danzca6: my goal is to get two smooth rods on each side of the z in order to make it as sturdy as possible. I've got two different setup models for it. That is why I got the second set. I will leave the new ones alone and try and get the stock ones a bit better before reinstall
Sep 25, 2015 5:10 PM - danzca6: hopefully robo will send me replacements for the ones they just sent me
Sep 25, 2015 5:28 PM - danzca6: wow...another thing I noticed is that the leadscrew nut is drilled off center on the old set. That would seem to me to cause some unwanted wobble/movement
Sep 25, 2015 5:30 PM - danzca6: new ones, perfect

 

Sep 25, 2015 5:38 PM - jbigler1986: had to stop. need to up the voltage on the drivers a bit
Sep 25, 2015 5:44 PM - danzca6: jb, what are you working on? Duals?
Sep 25, 2015 6:05 PM - jbigler1986: yeah
Sep 25, 2015 6:05 PM - jbigler1986: take 2. heating up now
Sep 25, 2015 6:15 PM - danzca6: that's going to be a cool mod when done. I have a long ways to go before I have the know how to tackle something like that
Sep 25, 2015 6:24 PM - jbigler1986: Its not an easy mod that's for sure
Sep 25, 2015 6:24 PM - jbigler1986: First coulple layers are down. Gonna be a few before it switches color
Sep 25, 2015 6:27 PM - daniel871: Well, I'm done with my Robo. Fucking bed thermistor shit the bed and was reporting 28c even though it was continuously heating up. I killed it when I smelled the burning electrical smell but I am beyond fucking pissed right now.
Sep 25, 2015 6:28 PM - daniel871: The one fucking part that was factory Robo couldn't do one fucking heatup cycle properly.
Sep 25, 2015 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: time to replace that then you won't need anything else
Sep 25, 2015 6:31 PM - jbigler1986: can you try with cold bed?
Sep 25, 2015 6:31 PM - daniel871: I can, but christ, then I'm stuck with a PLA only printer.
Sep 25, 2015 6:33 PM - daniel871: Nozzles tested fine, I was running preheat cycles on the nozzles and bed to make sure everything worked. Didn't even get to test print.
Sep 25, 2015 6:36 PM - jbigler1986: pla only for now
Sep 25, 2015 6:48 PM - jbigler1986:
Sep 25, 2015 6:49 PM - jbigler1986: works. need to adjust the offset
Sep 25, 2015 6:56 PM - jim3Dbot: Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any...my god...........
Sep 25, 2015 6:57 PM - jbigler1986: hello jim
Sep 25, 2015 6:57 PM - jim3Dbot: JB, you are gettin' there.................
Sep 25, 2015 6:57 PM - jbigler1986: almost
Sep 25, 2015 6:57 PM - jim3Dbot: I am truely impressed..........
Sep 25, 2015 6:58 PM - jim3Dbot: When u get a chance....chk out the hardwired video of the mini......amazin preliminary results.....
Sep 25, 2015 7:08 PM - Mike Glass: Hey Jim
Sep 25, 2015 7:08 PM - jbigler1986: ok
Sep 25, 2015 7:08 PM - jim3Dbot: Hey Mike!!!
Sep 25, 2015 7:08 PM - Mike Glass: what are you up too this evening
Sep 25, 2015 7:10 PM - jim3Dbot: Well, Wife DVR'ed Last Man Standin'.....Got to have glass of wine, watch it...Allens funny as hell...
Sep 25, 2015 7:13 PM - jim3Dbot: Be back in a half an hr........See you fellas then if you are still up......JB, if you need a cable for the mini I'm sendin'you... let me know...I'll mail it first....let me know how......
Sep 25, 2015 7:15 PM - Mike Glass: cioa
Sep 25, 2015 7:16 PM - jim3Dbot: I make the cables with Teflon 24awg stranded & gold plated terminals.......top notch..........
Sep 25, 2015 7:21 PM - jbigler1986:
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 PM - jbigler1986: current test
Sep 25, 2015 7:22 PM - Mike Glass: ohh looking good
Sep 25, 2015 7:23 PM - jbigler1986: not to bad
Sep 25, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Glass: are you doing a prime and wipe tower?
Sep 25, 2015 7:24 PM - jbigler1986: nope. not yet anyways. not dropping to many turds. lets see what else i can try to print
Sep 25, 2015 7:28 PM - Mike Glass: try the cone again
Sep 25, 2015 7:29 PM - jbigler1986: i am
Sep 25, 2015 7:30 PM - jbigler1986: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:729822/#files
Sep 25, 2015 7:34 PM - jbigler1986: it's printing
Sep 25, 2015 7:38 PM - Mike Glass: awesome
Sep 25, 2015 8:03 PM - danzca6: ok, firmware time...can anyone that did the leadscrew upgrade confirm that the firmware files for it unpack to a folder called ROBO3DR1PLUSV1? Just making extra sure before I screw it up.
Sep 25, 2015 8:04 PM - danzca6: It makes sense because the R1+ comes with the new leadscrews and that is the only firmware specific difference I believe
Sep 25, 2015 8:10 PM - Mike Glass: yea or you can just change one setting.
Sep 25, 2015 8:14 PM - danzca6: thanks MG...I'll go for it. Fingers crossed all this pays off
Sep 25, 2015 8:15 PM - danzca6: man, I do hate it when you pop the top on a cold refreshment and it goes all Mount St Helens on you.
Sep 25, 2015 8:22 PM - danzca6: she's alive once again...now to get a print out of her
Sep 25, 2015 8:28 PM - Mike Glass: yay
Sep 25, 2015 8:54 PM - danzca6: night and day difference http://imgur.com/xdXvcXh
Sep 25, 2015 8:55 PM - danzca6: thanks to all that helped me break out my comfort zone a bit tonight. MG, JB, MK...very happy
Sep 25, 2015 8:57 PM - Mike Glass: i'd say so, very nice

 

Sep 25, 2015 9:14 PM - danzca6: Yeah that part is a knurl knob for a bolts that I bought to replace the screws that hold the cover onto the printer. Tired of getting a screwdriver each time I want to take the top off. More like a PC case now.
Sep 25, 2015 9:14 PM - danzca6: http://imgur.com/QnjfCac
Sep 25, 2015 9:14 PM - Mike Glass: very cool, what bolts did you use
Sep 25, 2015 9:19 PM - danzca6: 6MM x 16 MM hex cap course
Sep 25, 2015 9:21 PM - danzca6: used this customizer to make the model http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:713300
Sep 25, 2015 9:22 PM - Mike Glass: what orange ore you using
Sep 25, 2015 9:23 PM - danzca6: without the ribbing, it fit like a glove right of the print bed
Sep 25, 2015 9:23 PM - danzca6: hatchbox
Sep 25, 2015 9:23 PM - danzca6: pla
Sep 25, 2015 9:23 PM - danzca6: I bought it for making robbie parts
Sep 25, 2015 9:24 PM - Mike Glass: yea hatchbox is good stuff
Sep 25, 2015 9:24 PM - Mike Glass: I havent printed a robbie part for awhile
Sep 25, 2015 9:24 PM - danzca6: for the price, great value
Sep 25, 2015 9:25 PM - Mike Glass: I use JustPla mostly
Sep 25, 2015 9:25 PM - danzca6: yeah, this will be my first. Might do a couple more if I have enough on the roll
Sep 25, 2015 9:25 PM - Mike Glass: its around $15 for 2.2lbs
Sep 25, 2015 9:25 PM - danzca6: I might have to try that
Sep 25, 2015 9:25 PM - Mike Glass: I have 11 made so far.
Sep 25, 2015 9:26 PM - Mike Glass: you can get around 4-5 per spool for the robbie parts
Sep 25, 2015 9:26 PM - danzca6: oh yeah, I forgot that there is a contest along with this for a new R1+...that would be cool to win.
Sep 25, 2015 9:27 PM - danzca6: probably would end up just donating it to the school
Sep 25, 2015 9:27 PM - danzca6: well, if I won
Sep 25, 2015 9:27 PM - Mike Glass: I could use use 2 running all the time actually
Sep 25, 2015 9:27 PM - danzca6: After I print this quick release, mine will be an R1+
Sep 25, 2015 9:27 PM - danzca6: I can see that
Sep 25, 2015 9:28 PM - Mike Glass: I made one on my cnc but having put it on yet.
Sep 25, 2015 9:28 PM - danzca6: in plastic or aluminum?
Sep 25, 2015 9:28 PM - Mike Glass: aluminum
Sep 25, 2015 9:28 PM - danzca6: well, that trumps me big time
Sep 25, 2015 9:29 PM - danzca6: CNC and Laser is on my wish list for the 5 year plan
Sep 25, 2015 9:29 PM - Mike Glass: I have to print some in plastic to make up for the depth though, I only had 2.5mm plates I recycled from old ibm tape drives.
Sep 25, 2015 9:30 PM - danzca6: what, old drives? I didn't even think about re purposing material like that. cool
Sep 25, 2015 9:30 PM - danzca6: did you make the spacer as well for the extruder?
Sep 25, 2015 9:30 PM - Mike Glass: no actual old tape drives they have a aluminum base
Sep 25, 2015 9:31 PM - danzca6: smart
Sep 25, 2015 9:31 PM - Mike Glass: yep printed it out ready to go but I made my own quck release carriage for the v6 so that will be going in soon as I get my bowden extruder done.
Sep 25, 2015 9:32 PM - Mike Glass: it has a blower motor for the the parts cooler also
Sep 25, 2015 9:33 PM - danzca6: so many options with these things...it's hard to keep up. Great base printer to really make it your own
Sep 25, 2015 9:33 PM - Mike Glass:
Sep 25, 2015 9:34 PM - danzca6: whoa, that's crazy. In a good way of course
Sep 25, 2015 9:34 PM - Mike Glass: Don designed originally I added the blower motor to it
Sep 25, 2015 9:35 PM - Mike Glass: see the venting in the front, its pretty crazy
Sep 25, 2015 9:35 PM - danzca6: I saw that
Sep 25, 2015 9:36 PM - Mike Glass: then there is the extruder heat up light that you will see it change color as it warms up.
Sep 25, 2015 9:36 PM - danzca6: did you post a pic of that earlier today?
Sep 25, 2015 9:36 PM - Mike Glass: I just intalled it last night . yeah
Sep 25, 2015 9:37 PM - danzca6: I saw you and Don talking about something like that. nice
Sep 25, 2015 9:37 PM - Mike Glass: its fun to watch the colors change as it warms up. only really cost under $10 to do it.
Sep 25, 2015 9:38 PM - Mike Glass: most of it was the 5volt buck convertor
Sep 25, 2015 9:38 PM - danzca6: it's crazy how cheap these electronics are and they do so much
Sep 25, 2015 9:38 PM - Mike Glass: yea specially from china..lol
Sep 25, 2015 9:39 PM - danzca6: ugh, yeah, there is that
Sep 25, 2015 9:43 PM - Mike Glass: well time to go do some cutting on the cnc catch ya later.
Sep 25, 2015 9:46 PM - danzca6: take it easy MG...too many toys to keep happy
Sep 25, 2015 11:55 PM - Mattchu: new leadscrews firmware working for you, Danz? if not all you really have to change is the speed for Z to 800
Sep 25, 2015 11:55 PM - Mattchu: (eventually I'll update that firmware...eventually).
Sep 25, 2015 11:56 PM - Mattchu: also good evening all
Sep 26, 2015 2:18 AM - Bill Monroe: good morning
Sep 26, 2015 3:29 AM - Bill Monroe:
Sep 26, 2015 5:57 AM - jbigler1986: morning
Sep 26, 2015 6:19 AM - Bill Monroe: Justin
Sep 26, 2015 6:31 AM - Mike Glass: morning
Sep 26, 2015 6:31 AM - Bill Monroe: MG
Sep 26, 2015 6:32 AM - Mike Glass: how is bill
Sep 26, 2015 6:32 AM - Bill Monroe: Bill is well, and Mike?
Sep 26, 2015 6:32 AM - Mike Glass: still waking up
Sep 26, 2015 6:33 AM - Bill Monroe: i've been up for several hours.. feel like a nap now
Sep 26, 2015 6:34 AM - Mike Glass: yea, but I dont go to bed till 1am usually
Sep 26, 2015 6:35 AM - Mike Glass: too many things to build
Sep 26, 2015 6:35 AM - Bill Monroe: indeed
Sep 26, 2015 6:36 AM - Bill Monroe: I've got a full social calendar today, could use some additional sleep before I embark on it
Sep 26, 2015 6:36 AM - Mike Glass: kinda getting excited for next weekend, laser will be all set up.
Sep 26, 2015 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: whch one did you get?
Sep 26, 2015 6:38 AM - Mike Glass: the 50 watt 300x500
Sep 26, 2015 6:38 AM - Mike Glass: same as nfo
Sep 26, 2015 6:38 AM - Bill Monroe: ah, bought a system
Sep 26, 2015 6:39 AM - Bill Monroe: got a link?
Sep 26, 2015 6:40 AM - Mike Glass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271238083748?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Sep 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Bill Monroe: ohya
Sep 26, 2015 6:41 AM - Bill Monroe: dot-matrix style printing yes?
Sep 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: my goodness.. they're just an hour away from me
Sep 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Mike Glass: yea, you could probably get one for about $300 cheaper
Sep 26, 2015 6:42 AM - Bill Monroe: really, I just want the laser
Sep 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: but it wold be fun if they'd let me drop in.
Sep 26, 2015 6:43 AM - Bill Monroe: ... and if they speak english
Sep 26, 2015 6:44 AM - Mike Glass: probably not
Sep 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe:
Sep 26, 2015 6:45 AM - Bill Monroe: I bought half-ton chinese made scale from a company in that area. didn't work and really really bad docs.
Sep 26, 2015 6:46 AM - Bill Monroe: called them and they were happy to have me bring it back and they'd make it right
Sep 26, 2015 6:46 AM - Bill Monroe: full of chinese women managing the place, and mexican guys as grunts
Sep 26, 2015 6:47 AM - Bill Monroe: BUT, they did make it right, and even calibrated it while I was there
Sep 26, 2015 6:47 AM - Bill Monroe: got the sense that the area was full of importers
Sep 26, 2015 6:48 AM - Mike Glass: importing people probably
Sep 26, 2015 6:51 AM - Bill Monroe: is this the one I see all the bad press about?
Sep 26, 2015 6:54 AM - Mike Glass: lookup DC-G350D lot of youtube video's
Sep 26, 2015 6:55 AM - Bill Monroe: ok, I just saw a page recently where I guy showed his expereinces.. it looks similar
Sep 26, 2015 7:05 AM - Bill Monroe: wonder what it would do to a bar of soap?
Sep 26, 2015 7:06 AM - Mike Glass: melt?
Sep 26, 2015 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: dont think so.. it
Sep 26, 2015 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: her soap isnt that kind

 

Sep 26, 2015 7:06 AM - Mike Glass:
Sep 26, 2015 7:06 AM - Bill Monroe: she makes genuine lye-based saponified soap
Sep 26, 2015 7:07 AM - Bill Monroe: that looks like whay they call "melt and pour"
Sep 26, 2015 7:18 AM - NFOsec: I've done that.
Sep 26, 2015 7:19 AM - daniel871: Pulled the trigger on the E3D Bigbox pro kit.
Sep 26, 2015 7:20 AM - NFOsec: daniel: pulling the trigger and 3D printing are heavily scrutinized in today's viewpoint.
Sep 26, 2015 7:21 AM - NFOsec: MG: creative juices flowing?
Sep 26, 2015 7:22 AM - NFOsec: greetings bill.
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 AM - Mike Glass: hell yea NFO
Sep 26, 2015 7:24 AM - NFOsec: bill: I'd equate the bad press just as much as what folks hit with Robo. If you don't know what you're getting into, don't get into it.
Sep 26, 2015 7:25 AM - NFOsec: however, the cheaper <$500 40w boxes are not worth their weight from what I've heard, the bigger ones still have a few things to be desired, but overall it does the job.
Sep 26, 2015 7:25 AM - NFOsec: MG: good deal.
Sep 26, 2015 7:25 AM - NFOsec: one thing I was going to tell you, when you do laser stuff, it's imperative that your lines are set for hairline for cutting, otherwise you'll just create a fat-ass raster line/cut. you'll see some of that in the info I sent you.
Sep 26, 2015 7:26 AM - NFOsec: if you've had a chnce to gleen over it yet or not.
Sep 26, 2015 7:26 AM - NFOsec: soap is an awesome custom thing. you could even offer that service to local soap makers.
Sep 26, 2015 7:27 AM - NFOsec: what I did was went to a local market, bought a bar, the following week I came back and showed them what I did to it. It was more of a "how'd you do that" vs. oh, stamping...
Sep 26, 2015 7:27 AM - NFOsec: soap is a very low overhead high margin product.
Sep 26, 2015 7:29 AM - danzca6: Daniel, last straw last night I take it
Sep 26, 2015 7:29 AM - Mike Glass: ok back, had to make some coffee
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - donhuevo: morning
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Glass: donny
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - donhuevo: be nice... I'm still on my first cup
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - Mike Glass: me too
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - NFOsec: and I haven't had any yet.
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - danzca6: Hopefully the bigbox gives you better luck
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - NFOsec: junkies...
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 AM - NFOsec: lol
Sep 26, 2015 7:31 AM - danzca6: Nfo, going to Faire today or tomorrow?
Sep 26, 2015 7:32 AM - NFOsec: so, for the original hex layout for R1/R1+, that black rubber boot is really just intended to hold the thermister in place and generally keep crud off the heater block?
Sep 26, 2015 7:32 AM - NFOsec: danz: yea.
Sep 26, 2015 7:32 AM - NFOsec: that's the idea.
Sep 26, 2015 7:32 AM - danzca6: I'll probably won't make it today but plan to be there all day tomorrow
Sep 26, 2015 7:33 AM - NFOsec: that's cool. decent line up tomorrow.
Sep 26, 2015 7:33 AM - Mike Glass:
Sep 26, 2015 7:33 AM - Mike Glass: NFO question, I probably need to get some laser glasses, what do you recommend?
Sep 26, 2015 7:34 AM - danzca6: I was going to ask about that rubber boot. Thought it was supposed to be metal
Sep 26, 2015 7:34 AM - NFOsec: to be totally honest with you, basic ones would work, but the best rule of thumb is don't look at the light idiot.
Sep 26, 2015 7:34 AM - NFOsec: danz: most condoms I've heard of are not metal.
Sep 26, 2015 7:35 AM - danzca6: Warning! Don't look at laser with your remaining one good eye
Sep 26, 2015 7:36 AM - Mike Glass: what nm are these lasers, they make different ones for different types of lasers.
Sep 26, 2015 7:36 AM - NFOsec: the key is you should never look directly into the light, and once you've gotten comfortable with the speeds, power, and material usage you'll find you would probably never wear them as I've seen with most.
Sep 26, 2015 7:36 AM - danzca6: Yours is enclosed right MG
Sep 26, 2015 7:36 AM - NFOsec: I suppose you don't even wear protective gear for your robo. imagine, filament spewing out at bullet speeds.
Sep 26, 2015 7:37 AM - NFOsec: as far as the optics you mean?
Sep 26, 2015 7:37 AM - Mike Glass: is a 10600 or a 700
Sep 26, 2015 7:39 AM - danzca6: You would think if it was enclosed it would come with glass already made to filter the laser light for safety
Sep 26, 2015 7:39 AM - NFOsec: oh, what wavelength.
Sep 26, 2015 7:40 AM - NFOsec: the glass shield they have is general protection, but true laser light blocking is different. just like welder's mask.
Sep 26, 2015 7:40 AM - danzca6: Oh
Sep 26, 2015 7:41 AM - danzca6: I've seen guys not using those either
Sep 26, 2015 7:41 AM - NFOsec: lasersafetyindustry.com is one source, but let me look up the WL.
Sep 26, 2015 7:41 AM - danzca6: Hard to weld with your eyes closed
Sep 26, 2015 7:42 AM - NFOsec: according to a replacement tube I see, it's 10600.
Sep 26, 2015 7:42 AM - NFOsec: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50w-CO2-Sea...CM-for-Shenhui-DC-G350-engraver-/160879770393
Sep 26, 2015 7:42 AM - NFOsec: that was just one of many options.
Sep 26, 2015 7:47 AM - NFOsec: anyway.... the only thing I've never really done which I wanted to do was get to absolute positioning. If I had done that, I'd probably be doing a little less scrap. I get lazy and just est the origin and instruct laser to print where head is set to origin.
Sep 26, 2015 7:48 AM - NFOsec: that CW-3000 is an item I'd probably invest into in the future, but for now, what I do/have has been more than adequate.
Sep 26, 2015 7:48 AM - NFOsec: I need to take the boot off, get that damn thermister seated in better, put the boot on (or if it is acceptable get some kapton tape and strap that baby on.
Sep 26, 2015 7:49 AM - NFOsec: nothing like a straped on thermister for the heat block.
Sep 26, 2015 7:49 AM - danzca6: I know where your mind if going... Lol
Sep 26, 2015 7:50 AM - NFOsec: how extensive of an effort is it to drop in this E3D v6? aside from the hot end, thermister stuff, etc. anything else necessary -- wait, someone said there was a forum for that mod.
Sep 26, 2015 7:50 AM - NFOsec: danz:
Sep 26, 2015 7:50 AM - NFOsec: strapped I meant.
Sep 26, 2015 7:51 AM - NFOsec: I also suspect it is used to protect the wiring outside of the heat block since it really does'nt look like a lot of teflon protection.
Sep 26, 2015 7:51 AM - danzca6: There is a thread on that out two out four
Sep 26, 2015 7:52 AM - danzca6: I was told that unless you are having issues with the hex that the e3d isn't that much better for roi
Sep 26, 2015 7:52 AM - NFOsec: ok.
Sep 26, 2015 7:52 AM - Bill Monroe: i found the V6 to be light years better than the hex
Sep 26, 2015 7:52 AM - Bill Monroe: the hex works, the V6 works much better
Sep 26, 2015 7:53 AM - Bill Monroe: especially if you're after exotics
Sep 26, 2015 7:54 AM - NFOsec: it's really probably the thermister/boot scenario that is most troubling, I didn't have problems until I noticed a lot of disparity in the heating, haven't printed in the last 2 days because I didn't feel like dinking with it. withdrawn now, so need to fix.
Sep 26, 2015 8:02 AM - Mike Glass: if you bump the boot while warmup is a good test that its seated good, if not you can intermittent printing issues.
Sep 26, 2015 8:07 AM - Mike Glass: Really $17 to ship glasses
Sep 26, 2015 8:09 AM - NFOsec: perhaps, but the boot is solid, it's probably just a poor idea to simply put a thermister in without any type of simple epoxy or what not to hold it in, slipping a boot cover on over a thing that doesn't fit the hole only leads me to believe that thermister hole is a ho if it doesn't stay in.
Sep 26, 2015 8:09 AM - NFOsec: wow. that's crazy.
Sep 26, 2015 8:10 AM - NFOsec: people don't do mark-ups on products anymore, they claim it's shipping fees that cost them.
Sep 26, 2015 8:10 AM - NFOsec: if I can get away with it, I usually send the company or organization a shipping label and ask them to use that.
Sep 26, 2015 8:10 AM - NFOsec: my UPS/FedEx accounts are cheap...
Sep 26, 2015 8:11 AM - NFOsec: but $17 for something < 1lb is really bad.
Sep 26, 2015 8:11 AM - Mike Glass: yea but if I spend another $60 its free..lol
Sep 26, 2015 8:16 AM - NFOsec: craaazy
Sep 26, 2015 8:17 AM - Mike Glass: I found a place that was selling them for $10 less and shipping is $12
Sep 26, 2015 8:18 AM - NFOsec: well, one can say, don't put a price on your eyes.,
Sep 26, 2015 8:22 AM - Mike Glass: Well when I was playing with lasers back in the day, we didnt wear any protection, I got hit and have a spot in one eye, suprised im not blind.
Sep 26, 2015 8:36 AM - PeterkSharma: yeah i have a really bright one, and i need to get some glasses for it
Sep 26, 2015 8:37 AM - Mike Glass: what do you have peter?
Sep 26, 2015 8:39 AM - PeterkSharma: its a 5 watt green laser
Sep 26, 2015 8:39 AM - PeterkSharma: a handheld one
Sep 26, 2015 8:40 AM - Mike Glass: you can light up clouds with that.
Sep 26, 2015 8:41 AM - PeterkSharma: yeah someone had said 5 watts is enought to shoot to the moon but not enough for the the light to reflect and make it back through the atmosphere
Sep 26, 2015 8:41 AM - PeterkSharma: I'm super paraniod about shooting it into the clouds with airplanes and stuff
Sep 26, 2015 8:43 AM - Mike Glass: yea thats true, I had a 5 watt tube laser way back, and I could shot it across the city on the mountains, freaky
Sep 26, 2015 8:45 AM - PeterkSharma: yeah, they are really fun, but I tend to stay of the safe side of things to avoid and heartache later
Sep 26, 2015 9:01 AM - Mike Glass: Dangit, hey NFO the honeycomb table I bought was actually 13.8“*21.7”*0.8“ guess thats not going to fit, hopefully he hasnt shipped it out yet.
Sep 26, 2015 10:04 AM - Mattchu: Hey Mike, were you the one who pointed me towards the 12x12 adhesive transfer sheets a day or two ago?
Sep 26, 2015 10:07 AM - Mattchu: just wanted to let you know that I was able to get the PEI on with it fairly easily (just had to take my time) I'll test it later on after giving the adhesive time to cure.
Sep 26, 2015 10:09 AM - Bill Monroe: cops in my town now actively persue green lasers
Sep 26, 2015 10:31 AM - PeterkSharma: because of you bill?
Sep 26, 2015 10:49 AM - Bill Monroe: heh some teenage punk shined one at a cop chopper
Sep 26, 2015 10:55 AM - Mike Glass: Yea Matt, I havent had time to put mine on yet.

 

Sep 26, 2015 10:56 AM - jbigler1986: Back
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 AM - Mike Glass: front
Sep 26, 2015 11:05 AM - Mattchu: went on nicely. it seems to one to stick...I may have to run the thing in Mattercontrol for the moment.
Sep 26, 2015 11:05 AM - Mattchu: previously the slurry would catch the ABS on the skirt pass because it started a bit higher (never had to worry), now, not so much.
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 AM - jbigler1986: Mattercontrol? That shouldn't even be on your computer
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 AM - Mattchu: it's only there to run the printer. haven't had tim efor months to swap it out, been using simplfy for code generation.
Sep 26, 2015 11:07 AM - Mattchu: but noticed that it likes to print my skirt a hair higher than the print.
Sep 26, 2015 11:08 AM - Mattchu: which hasn't been a problem, since I've been using a raft for everything lately anyways.
Sep 26, 2015 11:08 AM - Mattchu: til now.
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 AM - jbigler1986: Raft isn't needed. Maybe for ABS
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 AM - Mattchu: and that's what I've been printing
Sep 26, 2015 11:13 AM - Mattchu: thus the PEI board, so I don't have to use slurry. I'm finding the old settings for the slurry aren't working so well for the PEI.
Sep 26, 2015 11:19 AM - Mattchu: I'll try running it once more, with altered settings. doesn't work, I'll come back later tonight to change to cura or pronterface as has been suggested for actual control, while messing with simplify3D's interface.
Sep 26, 2015 11:22 AM - jbigler1986: Really without an enclosure abs is going to be a pain to print large parts
Sep 26, 2015 11:23 AM - Mattchu: agreed. It's being built right now. I was able to print thinner stuff no issue. that's the problem now. It's not even sticking initially like it does with the slurry.
Sep 26, 2015 12:14 PM - jbigler1986: Ahhhhhhhhhh
Sep 26, 2015 12:15 PM - jbigler1986: Purdue football pisses me off
Sep 26, 2015 12:22 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Hey guys...
Sep 26, 2015 12:22 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Lost my settings in Simplify...anyone got a bed/hot end temp for hatchbox pla?
Sep 26, 2015 12:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I want to say
Sep 26, 2015 12:23 PM - Aaron Mitchell: I used to use 70/190
Sep 26, 2015 12:23 PM - danzca6: I use 50/205
Sep 26, 2015 12:24 PM - Aaron Mitchell: aight....thanks dan
Sep 26, 2015 12:24 PM - danzca6: np
Sep 26, 2015 12:33 PM - Mike Glass: 70 for pla? tisk tisk
Sep 26, 2015 12:42 PM - Aaron Mitchell: heh...heya, Mike...how ya been?
Sep 26, 2015 1:14 PM - daniel871: I'm printing PLA stuff today, but I'm aggravated at the bed thermistor being messed up.
Sep 26, 2015 1:15 PM - daniel871: Good thing the PEI is holding it.
Sep 26, 2015 4:21 PM - jbigler1986: Order thermistor's from amazon. I have like 10 spare ones
Sep 26, 2015 4:21 PM - jbigler1986: Haven't had any issues with it
Sep 26, 2015 4:30 PM - donhuevo: I just ordered a glue gun from Amazon
Sep 26, 2015 4:32 PM - jbigler1986: You are kidding
Sep 26, 2015 4:32 PM - jbigler1986: Temp control with dual tips?
Sep 26, 2015 4:33 PM - donhuevo: I want to help mg glue the world
Sep 26, 2015 4:34 PM - jbigler1986: Ha
Sep 26, 2015 4:34 PM - donhuevo: got this one... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009XTPAO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
Sep 26, 2015 4:35 PM - jbigler1986: Look at that trigger. Dang
Sep 26, 2015 4:37 PM - donhuevo: yep... it's fancy.
Sep 26, 2015 4:48 PM - jbigler1986: question
Sep 26, 2015 4:48 PM - donhuevo: for me?
Sep 26, 2015 4:48 PM - jbigler1986: For anyone. Let me upload the pic
Sep 26, 2015 4:51 PM - jbigler1986: do I have enough hotends? Plus one more is installed on the printer too
Sep 26, 2015 4:51 PM - donhuevo: looks like you're missing one hex
Sep 26, 2015 4:52 PM - danzca6: lol...you can go for a quad extruder machine
Sep 26, 2015 4:53 PM - jbigler1986: Only have 2 geared steppers and 3 spare steppers
Sep 26, 2015 4:53 PM - jbigler1986: So most I could do is 5
Sep 26, 2015 4:54 PM - donhuevo: 2 v5's, 2 v6's... your hex needs a date
Sep 26, 2015 4:55 PM - jbigler1986: I had another hex but the heat break got bent so I tossed it
Sep 26, 2015 4:56 PM - jbigler1986: Only 1 v5. The one that is just the heatsink is a v6. Its just close to the camera so it looks bigger
Sep 26, 2015 4:57 PM - donhuevo: now I see the stepper holding it up off the bed
Sep 26, 2015 4:59 PM - jbigler1986: gonna try bowden again with push fir connectors. the v6 style bowden adapters have been slipping and i believe were part of my issue
Sep 26, 2015 5:00 PM - danzca6: anyone seen a model for a switch plate blank? You know, like a 2 switch switch plate where you take one switch out and then they have these blank plugs you can put into the other hole? Going to model one, but didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
Sep 26, 2015 5:00 PM - donhuevo: I've had really good luck with bowden. I'd never go back to direct
Sep 26, 2015 5:01 PM - donhuevo:
Sep 26, 2015 5:01 PM - danzca6: yeah, not like those. Let me get a pic
Sep 26, 2015 5:02 PM - danzca6: http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-80700...402&sr=8-2&keywords=switch+plate+blank+filler
Sep 26, 2015 5:02 PM - donhuevo: that's cute. never saw one before
Sep 26, 2015 5:03 PM - danzca6: well, I will model her up for you don
Sep 26, 2015 5:03 PM - danzca6: got the drawing done, just need to put it into cad
Sep 26, 2015 5:03 PM - Mike Glass: don
Sep 26, 2015 5:04 PM - donhuevo: you'll need 6-32 device screws
Sep 26, 2015 5:04 PM - donhuevo: Oh MG
Sep 26, 2015 5:05 PM - Mike Glass: OH MG your buying a HGG?
Sep 26, 2015 5:05 PM - donhuevo: yes sir I am
Sep 26, 2015 5:06 PM - Mike Glass: saweet
Sep 26, 2015 5:06 PM - donhuevo: I can see instances where mixing up epoxy is overkill
Sep 26, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: crap, I need beer, need to run down the road.
Sep 26, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: I use alot of epoxy also
Sep 26, 2015 5:07 PM - Mike Glass: works good for filling knots in wood
Sep 26, 2015 5:08 PM - Mike Glass: or mixing it with printer ink and make cool inlays.
Sep 26, 2015 5:09 PM - donhuevo: ah... nice
Sep 26, 2015 5:09 PM - Mike Glass: but you have have to work super fast when you do that, it heats up really fast and hot.
Sep 26, 2015 5:10 PM - donhuevo: go get your beer
Sep 26, 2015 5:10 PM - Mike Glass: or you can mix glow in the dark powder and make some really cool stuff.
Sep 26, 2015 5:22 PM - jim3Dbot: Danzca, chk-out electric roundup store on ebay, if there is one you can use under wallplates......I'll send it to you.....no charge req'ed....
Sep 26, 2015 5:24 PM - jim3Dbot: Have 100's mabe 1,000s of plates, many not listed...
Sep 26, 2015 5:25 PM - Mike Glass: mmm beer
Sep 26, 2015 5:25 PM - jim3Dbot: Homer...
Sep 26, 2015 5:25 PM - Mike Glass: howdy Jim
Sep 26, 2015 5:26 PM - jim3Dbot: How do you do, MG
Sep 26, 2015 5:26 PM - Mike Glass: Do it just fine now.
Sep 26, 2015 5:26 PM - jim3Dbot: Anyone I can....
Sep 26, 2015 5:27 PM - Mike Glass: sign business taking off now that the weather is changing.
Sep 26, 2015 5:27 PM - jim3Dbot: How's the laser matriculating
Sep 26, 2015 5:27 PM - Mike Glass: or at least early x-mas shoppers
Sep 26, 2015 5:28 PM - Mike Glass: laser will be here friday
Sep 26, 2015 5:28 PM - Mike Glass: err thursday
Sep 26, 2015 5:28 PM - jim3Dbot: Dino-mite, wish you the best, with that.....
Sep 26, 2015 5:29 PM - jim3Dbot: Sign biz is CNC not your branchin' off
Sep 26, 2015 5:29 PM - jim3Dbot: now
Sep 26, 2015 5:30 PM - Mike Glass: MT people are crazy for MT stuff for some reason
Sep 26, 2015 5:31 PM - jim3Dbot: Just want to say Hello, got fire goin' by the lake......glad to see people busy...take care.........
Sep 26, 2015 5:31 PM - Mike Glass: ok take care
Sep 26, 2015 5:31 PM - jim3Dbot: Oh, not much competition in MO...
Sep 26, 2015 5:32 PM - jim3Dbot: if you ain't shootin' something
Sep 26, 2015 5:32 PM - jim3Dbot: OH, MT excuse
Sep 26, 2015 5:32 PM - Mike Glass: true that
Sep 26, 2015 5:46 PM - Mike Glass: what are you up to Aaron
Sep 26, 2015 6:03 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Not much...back to school...Ordered 3 Robo3dR1+ for my classroom...hopefully they will be in in the next few weeks
Sep 26, 2015 6:04 PM - Aaron Mitchell: Was just reading Harry's post on the forums about helping out with Robbie the Robot...

 

Sep 26, 2015 6:07 PM - Mike Glass: yea, I printed a few so far
Sep 26, 2015 6:39 PM - Mike Glass: how do I pause a print to switch filament, about to run out
Sep 26, 2015 6:47 PM - donhuevo: use the machine control panel
Sep 26, 2015 6:49 PM - Mike Glass: will it move or just keep the heat on the part though
Sep 26, 2015 6:51 PM - jbigler1986: using your carriage don
Sep 26, 2015 6:51 PM - donhuevo: you can do more than just pause if you need to. Just reverse everything you do
Sep 26, 2015 6:52 PM - Mike Glass: so If I move 10up and 10 over then change then place it back it should work?
Sep 26, 2015 6:52 PM - donhuevo: I'm thinkin' so
Sep 26, 2015 6:53 PM - Mike Glass: trying to use up all these misc end pieces on the spools, ran out of room in my tote.
Sep 26, 2015 6:54 PM - Mike Glass: guess I could try the super glue trick also
Sep 26, 2015 6:54 PM - donhuevo: I don't know that trick
Sep 26, 2015 6:56 PM - daniel871: What could cause the robo to shift over every mm or so on thickness while printing if all of the mechanical bits are tight?
Sep 26, 2015 6:57 PM - Mike Glass: ramps heating up?
Sep 26, 2015 6:58 PM - jim3Dbot: intuitive....
Sep 26, 2015 6:58 PM - daniel871: Would if overheat when the weather was cool with continuous breezes blowing thru the shop?
Sep 26, 2015 6:59 PM - Mattchu: which axis, daniel?
Sep 26, 2015 6:59 PM - daniel871: Also this is the rambo, not the ramps.
Sep 26, 2015 6:59 PM - daniel871: Y axis. Already checked the belt and gear on the stepper.
Sep 26, 2015 7:00 PM - Mike Glass: ramps in integrated so you still have ramps
Sep 26, 2015 7:00 PM - daniel871: The actual shift is 10mm for every 2mm height, and it is a hard shift, not gradual.
Sep 26, 2015 7:01 PM - Mike Glass: bad stepper or wrong voltage
Sep 26, 2015 7:01 PM - jim3Dbot: Bad stepper or maybe slippage.............
Sep 26, 2015 7:02 PM - Mike Glass: I believe those are set digitally for the voltage.
Sep 26, 2015 7:02 PM - Mattchu: aside from the voltage, only other thing I can think of is the spool snagging up, but usually that affects it more in x than y.
Sep 26, 2015 7:03 PM - Mattchu: I finally got it to stick a bit, mike. I'm having to raise it up off the table a bit for that first layer though, at least in simplify.
Sep 26, 2015 7:03 PM - daniel871: They are, Mike.
Sep 26, 2015 7:03 PM - Mike Glass: is the y bed dragging on the screws
Sep 26, 2015 7:03 PM - daniel871: Nope.
Sep 26, 2015 7:04 PM - Mike Glass: I noticed my cork falls down when it heats up, ugg
Sep 26, 2015 7:04 PM - daniel871: Its like a surge of motion from the stepper and then it continues as normal.
Sep 26, 2015 7:05 PM - daniel871: But that results in the layer being offset from tge one below it.
Sep 26, 2015 7:05 PM - daniel871: My cork is taped down, so nothing is dragging.
Sep 26, 2015 7:05 PM - danzca6: the switch plate blank is all modeled up and printing. Hoping I measured right. Will know in about 40 min
Sep 26, 2015 7:07 PM - Mike Glass: 40? what are printing at .1
Sep 26, 2015 7:08 PM - daniel871: This whole thing with my particular Robo sucks. Nothing has worked properly since the stock hexagon snapped off at the heat break while autoleveling.
Sep 26, 2015 7:08 PM - danzca6: well...I still go a bit slow
Sep 26, 2015 7:08 PM - danzca6: now that things are printing better, I should push up the speed
Sep 26, 2015 7:09 PM - Mike Glass: robo is really nice at 80 with the right jerk and excelleration settings
Sep 26, 2015 7:09 PM - daniel871: Nah. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
Sep 26, 2015 7:09 PM - danzca6: I'll have to read up calibrating those settings
Sep 26, 2015 7:10 PM - danzca6: daniel, really can't wait for the IR autolevel for that reason. Too much pressure on the nozzle for no reason
Sep 26, 2015 7:10 PM - Mike Glass: they change with speed.
Sep 26, 2015 7:12 PM - danzca6: I really tried to model this thing to use as little support as possible...hopefully cura is kind to me tonight
Sep 26, 2015 7:12 PM - danzca6: they charge $7 retail for these stupid things
Sep 26, 2015 7:12 PM - Mattchu: the new rods solved a lot of auto leveling issues for me, Daniel. It was worth every penny. the new brackets are nice as well.
Sep 26, 2015 7:13 PM - Mike Glass: did you change your support rods also?
Sep 26, 2015 7:13 PM - danzca6: what rods and brackets?
Sep 26, 2015 7:13 PM - Mattchu: sorry, the lead screws
Sep 26, 2015 7:13 PM - danzca6: yep, just got my new leadscrews on last night
Sep 26, 2015 7:14 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:950773
Sep 26, 2015 7:14 PM - Mattchu: but yeah, it's pretty much all up to R1 Plus level. Quiet as a mouse. smooth. no sag/weight distribution issue on the axis anymore.
Sep 26, 2015 7:14 PM - danzca6: mg, yeah that is on the list. Slight remix for it though
Sep 26, 2015 7:14 PM - Mattchu: just trying to get the damn PEI to work.
Sep 26, 2015 7:15 PM - Mike Glass: I have the orginal file I made it with if you need.
Sep 26, 2015 7:15 PM - danzca6: I printed the quick release today to get it FULL R1+ just need to tear it apart again to install...nice orange and all
Sep 26, 2015 7:16 PM - danzca6: oh, that is yours mg? Nice job
Sep 26, 2015 7:16 PM - Mike Glass: I like that orange look
Sep 26, 2015 7:16 PM - Mattchu: haven't seen the quick release.
Sep 26, 2015 7:16 PM - danzca6: I was going to make it for dual smooth rods
Sep 26, 2015 7:16 PM - Mike Glass: I have some ready to go now when this red runs out on this print
Sep 26, 2015 7:17 PM - jbigler1986: Part is going good. No crazy clicking noise anymore
Sep 26, 2015 7:17 PM - Mike Glass: Don has one for that
Sep 26, 2015 7:17 PM - jbigler1986: Also the hot end is a cheap $20 v6 version off amazon. No issues
Sep 26, 2015 7:17 PM - Mike Glass: I found one of my rods had a 3/16 curve in it.
Sep 26, 2015 7:18 PM - danzca6: yeah, I might have to ping some ideas off of don about adding the extra rods
Sep 26, 2015 7:18 PM - danzca6: yeah, my new ones are bent and need to get replacements before starting the project
Sep 26, 2015 7:18 PM - Mike Glass: jb dont let MK hear you say that
Sep 26, 2015 7:19 PM - danzca6: does MK work for them? E3D
Sep 26, 2015 7:19 PM - jbigler1986: Well it is working perfectly
Sep 26, 2015 7:19 PM - Mike Glass: no but he bought the new printer from their kickstarter
Sep 26, 2015 7:19 PM - jbigler1986: Ordered 2. Both came with .3 nozzles too
Sep 26, 2015 7:20 PM - Mike Glass: .3?
Sep 26, 2015 7:20 PM - Mike Glass: mine came with .4 and all the goodies
Sep 26, 2015 7:20 PM - jbigler1986:
Sep 26, 2015 7:20 PM - jbigler1986: Yep
Sep 26, 2015 7:20 PM - Mike Glass: I paid $28 though
Sep 26, 2015 7:21 PM - jbigler1986: .3 PS doesn't sell them so its nice
Sep 26, 2015 7:21 PM - Mattchu: shiiiiny!
Sep 26, 2015 7:21 PM - jbigler1986: Ordered 2 meters of ptfe as well. Actually 2 meters
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Glass: not 1 foot like I got..lol
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - danzca6: so the bowden setup, what advantage is that giving you?
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - jbigler1986: Nope. Lol
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - Mattchu: so what does everyone prefer? pronterface or cura?
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - Mike Glass: SPeed, Speed, Speed
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - jbigler1986: Faster prints and easier to go dual. Gonna add the 2nd extruder later
Sep 26, 2015 7:23 PM - danzca6: lighter x carriage give you that?
Sep 26, 2015 7:24 PM - jbigler1986: I have a headache right now
Sep 26, 2015 7:24 PM - Mike Glass: yep no honking motor to give you excell issues
Sep 26, 2015 7:25 PM - Mike Glass: damn kekejreljkajfel
Sep 26, 2015 7:26 PM - danzca6: my google translator didn't recognize that
Sep 26, 2015 7:26 PM - danzca6: lol
Sep 26, 2015 7:27 PM - Mike Glass: are you from canada?
Sep 26, 2015 7:27 PM - jbigler1986: Oh yeah. Changed drive gears too. Using the hercustruder
Sep 26, 2015 7:28 PM - jbigler1986: Using the "makerbot" ones. I had to bore one out to 6mm and one to 8mm
Sep 26, 2015 7:29 PM - Mattchu: oh heck ya...sticking now with PEI.
Sep 26, 2015 7:29 PM - jbigler1986: Glad you found something that works for you
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 PM - danzca6: my stock of 80s hair spray hasn't failed me yet with adhesion. What is pei giving you that I hear everyone switching to it
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 PM - Mattchu: thanks. though we're not done yet...waiting for a settings update from simplify. It's doing something funky in my code when it posts.
Sep 26, 2015 7:30 PM - Mattchu: universal adhesion for a majority of plastics, including ABS.
Sep 26, 2015 7:31 PM - Mattchu: in theory if you get a thick enough sheet of PEI, you could literally just stick it in the freezer or flex it to pop a part off.

 

Sep 26, 2015 7:32 PM - Mattchu: and still fighting with it a bit, jbigler. I'm waiting for an email from simplify why their post starts the skirt of my program roughly .1mm higher than the part.
Sep 26, 2015 7:32 PM - Mattchu: wasn't an issue before with the slurry...it's a big issue with the PEI.
Sep 26, 2015 7:35 PM - Mattchu: I may mess with one of the Zebra plates at makerfaire next weekend.
Sep 26, 2015 7:37 PM - jbigler1986: Slurry adds height to the first layer. If you remove the slurry you will need to lower offset a tiny bit
Sep 26, 2015 7:38 PM - Mattchu: agreed. and did so. I actually ran it with the skirt only 1mm away just to test my theory...it's a whole layer higher than the rest of the print.
Sep 26, 2015 7:38 PM - Mattchu: let me rephrase...it's a layer higher than the first layer it should be level with.
Sep 26, 2015 7:38 PM - jbigler1986: Just the skirt? The rest of the first layer is fine?
Sep 26, 2015 7:39 PM - Mattchu: yep
Sep 26, 2015 7:39 PM - Mattchu: the problem is that then the skirt likes to flex up and get in the way...causing further problems.
Sep 26, 2015 7:39 PM - Mattchu: and yes I could print skirtless (the lewdness of it all), but I like using the skirt to prime the pump if you will.
Sep 26, 2015 7:44 PM - Mike Glass: Holy crap it worked
Sep 26, 2015 7:45 PM - jbigler1986: What did
Sep 26, 2015 7:45 PM - jbigler1986: Also this is my first complete Bowden print in like a month
Sep 26, 2015 7:45 PM - Mike Glass: switch filament i middle of a print
Sep 26, 2015 7:45 PM - Mattchu: congrats!
Sep 26, 2015 7:48 PM - jbigler1986: How did you pull that off? I failed so many times
Sep 26, 2015 7:48 PM - Mike Glass: just used machine control panel like don said
Sep 26, 2015 7:49 PM - Mike Glass: hit pause, raised it 10mm then switched filament, extruded a bit to make sure not bubbles then down 10mm and resume, easy peasy
Sep 26, 2015 7:50 PM - Mike Glass: dont think you can do it with cura
Sep 26, 2015 7:57 PM - jim3Dbot: Mike, matter Control, hot pull, extrude some, down, resume, how basic, glad to hear...
Sep 26, 2015 7:58 PM - Mike Glass: what is matter control, never heard of it?
Sep 26, 2015 7:59 PM - jim3Dbot: sounded like no cura, figger' ed MC
Sep 26, 2015 7:59 PM - Mike Glass: repetier or s3d
Sep 26, 2015 8:00 PM - jim3Dbot: Got'it, I'm still usin' MC, goig to Cura soon......just a 3d rookie;;;;
Sep 26, 2015 8:00 PM - jim3Dbot: going
Sep 26, 2015 8:01 PM - jim3Dbot: WTF is goig?
Sep 26, 2015 8:02 PM - Mike Glass: goig injury..lol
Sep 26, 2015 8:03 PM - jim3Dbot: Haha
Sep 26, 2015 8:03 PM - jim3Dbot: only hurts when I laf
Sep 26, 2015 8:05 PM - jim3Dbot: we got a super moon tonite, just came in from a fire, lota light outa there
Sep 26, 2015 8:05 PM - Mike Glass: I thought it was tomorrow
Sep 26, 2015 8:06 PM - Mike Glass: thats the blood moon tomorrow
Sep 26, 2015 8:06 PM - Mike Glass: wont see it for another 18 years
Sep 26, 2015 8:06 PM - jim3Dbot: news said tonite, I thought, never the less, we are lit, both ways...
Sep 26, 2015 8:06 PM - Mattchu: I still need to set up cura...haven't yet. sometime this week.
Sep 26, 2015 8:07 PM - jim3Dbot: you & me Matt.
Sep 26, 2015 8:08 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2015-september-28
Sep 26, 2015 8:08 PM - Mattchu: still love simplify3D though...whoever coding is for them is good...just wish that little glitch with the skirt/first layer wasn't there.
Sep 26, 2015 8:08 PM - jim3Dbot: still pissin' with the IR thing......broke my bracket re-assembling.....needs more OCD testin'...before PCB's......
Sep 26, 2015 8:10 PM - danzca6: sorry to hear that jim
Sep 26, 2015 8:10 PM - jim3Dbot: modeling 90 degree bracket, haste, didn't add 45 degree gussets, knew it, but haste makes waste.....
Sep 26, 2015 8:12 PM - danzca6: so when printing a radius, my printer is starting to put a knurl on the radius. I hope i didn't break something
Sep 26, 2015 8:12 PM - jim3Dbot: Hey, Danz.....heard U R rec'ing IR Mon?...if u need a cable let me know, I'll send U 1
Sep 26, 2015 8:13 PM - danzca6: really, that would be awesome. I was planing on digging out the solder iron again for this. Still a novice at it.
Sep 26, 2015 8:13 PM - Mattchu: how come IR? why not use a system that just shorts circuit toset using a copper shim? (Note: note an electrical guy, but does work with EDM equipment that sets the edge of parts using this method).
Sep 26, 2015 8:13 PM - Mattchu: (just asking question)
Sep 26, 2015 8:14 PM - danzca6: the IR auto levels without the nozzle over hitting the bed
Sep 26, 2015 8:15 PM - danzca6: from what I have seen from jim, it is more accurate as well
Sep 26, 2015 8:15 PM - danzca6: and repeatable
Sep 26, 2015 8:15 PM - jim3Dbot: Got Berg $500 crimper, gold contacts, amp housings,& teflon wire..U ain't gonna beat that......message me, I' ll ship 1 meter cable tomorrow 1st class,happy to do it.....
Sep 26, 2015 8:16 PM - Mattchu: wouldn't shorting it be just as accurate? Since you're making the barest of electrical contact before it shuts off? How does the IR work?
Sep 26, 2015 8:16 PM - danzca6: wow...thanks a ton
Sep 26, 2015 8:21 PM - jim3Dbot: No problem...........Matt..... IR tests from MK, designer, & I are amazingly accurate, chk out the forum on mods, Mini IR Diff Sensor..........preliminary results but I think Mr, Crocker sold 100;s.............I cloned from photos.............but I'm impressed...going to make a less accurate version for X & Y axis as well...........
Sep 26, 2015 8:22 PM - Mattchu: will do. give me some reading tonight!
Sep 26, 2015 8:23 PM - jim3Dbot: http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...-clone-aint-sure-of-success-now-stage-5.6601/
Sep 26, 2015 8:23 PM - Mattchu: rad. thanks!
Sep 26, 2015 8:25 PM - jim3Dbot: Daves differential approach is genius? spellin', uncanny on accuracy......
Sep 26, 2015 8:27 PM - Mattchu: lol, watching the video now. Again, not much for electronics (working on that...so hard to find good sources of info/starting points). Hand me a mill, lathe, Jig Bore, grinder, CNC of your choice, etc. that's different
Sep 26, 2015 8:30 PM - jim3Dbot: Danz............U need one of these.........201386882848
Sep 26, 2015 8:30 PM - jim3Dbot: Ebay store of mine..............
Sep 26, 2015 8:33 PM - danzca6: I went a different route then a whole new plate. I just modeled a blank filler that attaches to the box and fills the hole in the plate when the plate is screwed to it.
Sep 26, 2015 8:33 PM - Mike Glass:
Sep 26, 2015 8:33 PM - danzca6: Worked perfect, but want to make a couple tweaks before putting it on thingiverse
Sep 26, 2015 8:34 PM - jim3Dbot: work-a round great Yankee ingenuity......
Sep 26, 2015 8:34 PM - danzca6: mg, dual extruder or pause and resume?
Sep 26, 2015 8:34 PM - Mike Glass: ran out of filament
Sep 26, 2015 8:34 PM - danzca6: quality is great either way mg
Sep 26, 2015 8:35 PM - Mike Glass: almost 3 hours for the turd
Sep 26, 2015 8:35 PM - jim3Dbot: Nice alignment MG
Sep 26, 2015 8:35 PM - Mike Glass: but I did it at 30% infill
Sep 26, 2015 8:35 PM - danzca6: haha..that's right. You did say you were switching to orange once the red was gone.
Sep 26, 2015 8:35 PM - danzca6: great job
Sep 26, 2015 8:35 PM - Mike Glass: first time ive dont that
Sep 26, 2015 8:36 PM - danzca6: 80 mm/sec and no supports...wow
Sep 26, 2015 8:36 PM - jim3Dbot: duals r over-rated
Sep 26, 2015 8:36 PM - Mattchu: lol.
Sep 26, 2015 8:36 PM - Mattchu: niiiiice man
Sep 26, 2015 8:37 PM - Mike Glass: that was at 60, but I changed the rate on the lcd to 120% so not sure what speed
Sep 26, 2015 8:37 PM - Mattchu: so I watched, jim. so it sees the IR sensor, and stops? or it's reflecting light?
Sep 26, 2015 8:37 PM - danzca6: 72ish
Sep 26, 2015 8:37 PM - jim3Dbot: reflecin' light
Sep 26, 2015 8:38 PM - Mattchu: so you're looking for an angle then for it to bounce off/recieve?
Sep 26, 2015 8:38 PM - Mike Glass: not as fast as I did the robbie parts, they were at 80.
Sep 26, 2015 8:38 PM - jim3Dbot: 2 beams, to reduce ambient IR, differentially subtracted in code..........
Sep 26, 2015 8:39 PM - Mattchu: ...I'll be honest, I'm still confused lol.
Sep 26, 2015 8:40 PM - Mattchu: I mean, I understand it's bouncing light, once it reads a certain level on the sensor, it shuts off.
Sep 26, 2015 8:41 PM - Mattchu: well, triggeres the if statement I mean.
Sep 26, 2015 8:41 PM - jim3Dbot: yes, window is very small...............very, very, accurate......I will be workin' on a fiber optic version......as soon as this is complete.........PCB will plug onto ramps card......Fiber will be run to 2 optics......no wires....
Sep 26, 2015 8:42 PM - Mattchu: just got to mount it somehow?
Sep 26, 2015 8:43 PM - jim3Dbot: stl file supportin' 3 sets of optics @ 45degee angle............closer to nozzle...
Sep 26, 2015 8:43 PM - Mattchu: how will it take into account the flatness of the plate? (again, just bounce off the plate surface?)
Sep 26, 2015 8:45 PM - jim3Dbot: the surface, not underneath...............
Sep 26, 2015 8:47 PM - Mattchu: so the only optics would be the three around the nozzle, measuring IR light bounce?
Sep 26, 2015 8:48 PM - Mattchu: well, distance based off IR reflection?
Sep 26, 2015 8:48 PM - jim3Dbot: Tests are showing, 0.01mm deviation, yes...............IR Reflection
Sep 26, 2015 8:49 PM - Mattchu: I can live with that.
Sep 26, 2015 8:49 PM - Mattchu: under half a thousandth of an inch on a 3D printer is more than acceptable.
Sep 26, 2015 8:51 PM - jim3Dbot: yep, 1mm...0.040"..........0.1mm....0.0040
Sep 26, 2015 8:51 PM - Mattchu: indeed. so .01mm = .0004
Sep 26, 2015 8:52 PM - jim3Dbot: or 0.03937" if I remember right 1mm

 

Sep 26, 2015 8:53 PM - Mattchu: you are indeed correct.
Sep 26, 2015 8:54 PM - jim3Dbot: Got to blow some ZZZZ's.......thanks for the converse..............later....
Sep 26, 2015 8:54 PM - danzca6: good night jim. Thanks again
Sep 26, 2015 8:54 PM - Mattchu: take care, have fun! gotta look itno an enclosure now.
Sep 26, 2015 8:55 PM - jim3Dbot: right on, think MK
Sep 26, 2015 8:55 PM - Mattchu: I'm getting sticking on the PEI, but not the intense get the prybar out kind that Daniel is.
Sep 26, 2015 8:55 PM - danzca6: I should turn in as well...going to maker faire tomorrow
Sep 26, 2015 8:55 PM - danzca6: happy printing everyone
Sep 26, 2015 8:55 PM - Mattchu: you lucky dog. have fun! Cant wait for my turn next weekend.
Sep 26, 2015 8:57 PM - Mike Glass: I wish one was close to me
Sep 26, 2015 8:57 PM - Mattchu: where you at Mike? I'm in San Diego.
Sep 26, 2015 8:58 PM - Mike Glass: Montana
Sep 26, 2015 8:58 PM - Mattchu: ouch >_<
Sep 26, 2015 8:58 PM - Mattchu: closest would be what? New York still, no?
Sep 26, 2015 8:59 PM - Mike Glass: haha, san diego would be closer
Sep 26, 2015 8:59 PM - Mattchu: brutal
Sep 26, 2015 9:00 PM - Mattchu: well. take a week. hop a flight, go to makerfaire, go to disneyland. ^_^
Sep 26, 2015 9:00 PM - Mike Glass: been there

 

Sep 26, 2015 9:09 PM - Mike Glass: I might have to start my own here
Sep 26, 2015 9:10 PM - Mattchu: I would. San Diegos was helped along quite a bit by the library, believe it or not.
Sep 26, 2015 9:11 PM - Mike Glass: Our library and one school have a 3d printer thats all I know about it this city.
Sep 26, 2015 9:13 PM - Mattchu: well...it's a start. there a radio shack (or a store that was a radio shack) about?
Sep 26, 2015 9:13 PM - Mike Glass: nope our radio shack is gone now
Sep 26, 2015 9:14 PM - Mattchu: dammit
Sep 26, 2015 9:21 PM - Mattchu: attempting to make it more sticky by increasing bed temp now (some have suggested that).
Sep 26, 2015 9:21 PM - Mike Glass: maybe it doesnt conduct heat as well now?
Sep 26, 2015 9:21 PM - Mattchu: worst case, I go make a mojito, and since down and build a cardboard enclosure real fast
Sep 26, 2015 9:22 PM - Mattchu: that's my thought. it's 1mil thick. it's high quality material (friggin McMaster-Carr), and saw it work on the lulzbot at work.
Sep 26, 2015 9:22 PM - Mattchu: telling the thermistor in the bed to aim for 110 now...we'll see if I actually get that hot hahaha.
Sep 26, 2015 9:23 PM - Mike Glass: it may, but wont unless you changed the firmware
Sep 26, 2015 9:23 PM - Mattchu: not as of late.
Sep 26, 2015 9:24 PM - Mattchu: hi 80
Sep 26, 2015 9:24 PM - Mattchu: hit 80...climbing to 90 now.
Sep 26, 2015 9:24 PM - Mattchu: should grab a beaker of water for this
Sep 26, 2015 9:26 PM - Mattchu: 92. gonna let it sit there for a second.
Sep 26, 2015 9:28 PM - Mattchu: 100. lets see if it'll fly past.
Sep 26, 2015 9:29 PM - Mike Glass: smoke
Sep 26, 2015 9:29 PM - Mattchu: 105...no scary sparks or billowing smoke.
Sep 26, 2015 9:31 PM - Mattchu: 110.
Sep 26, 2015 9:32 PM - Mattchu: something tripped and temps just dropped off hahaha.
Sep 26, 2015 9:32 PM - Mike Glass: 110 is max probably and it hit over it
Sep 26, 2015 9:33 PM - Mattchu: I'll set for 108 then
Sep 26, 2015 9:33 PM - Mike Glass: how stable is your bed heat might have to 106
Sep 26, 2015 9:34 PM - Mattchu: it seemed to hold pretty well.
Sep 26, 2015 9:35 PM - Mattchu: trying again...warming up.
Sep 26, 2015 9:39 PM - Mattchu: yeah, it'll like the head at 230 or the bed at 110...but not both.
Sep 26, 2015 9:41 PM - Mike Glass: you doing abs?
Sep 26, 2015 9:42 PM - Mattchu: yep. really the only reason to use the PEI stuff
Sep 26, 2015 9:42 PM - Mike Glass: well im going to try a new bit here on the cnc, see how it fares.
Sep 26, 2015 9:43 PM - Mike Glass: $2 titanium bit..
Sep 26, 2015 9:43 PM - Mattchu: which cnc? and what are you cutting?
Sep 26, 2015 9:44 PM - Mike Glass: diy cnc from thingiverse, cutting some plywood, beer bottle cap holders in shape of the states.
Sep 26, 2015 9:45 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/make:134212
Sep 26, 2015 9:45 PM - Mattchu: 2 fluted?
Sep 26, 2015 9:46 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Sep 26, 2015 9:47 PM - Mike Glass: usually use 4 flute
Sep 26, 2015 9:47 PM - Mike Glass: but should be able to cut faster now
Sep 26, 2015 9:49 PM - Mattchu: 2 fluter is the way to go. is it TiN coated, or actually titanium? cause if it's the latter...please tell me you've got a polycarbonate shield between you and the machine.
Sep 26, 2015 9:50 PM - Mattchu: that's nice! how much it cost you to make?
Sep 26, 2015 9:51 PM - Mike Glass: around $450
Sep 26, 2015 9:53 PM - Mike Glass: not bad cuts, and damn fast, they are titanium not coated
Sep 26, 2015 9:57 PM - Mattchu: I'd be very, very, very, very careful using those then...titanium is not one to like cyclical motion or unsupported lateral stress, and prone to shattering (much like carbide). It's why ducati nearly lost their butt when parts of their exhaust system literally shook itself to pieces.
Sep 26, 2015 9:58 PM - Mattchu: I might look into building that though here. I'm sure I've got some ground rod around.
Sep 26, 2015 10:00 PM - Mattchu: yeah...got it to stick nicely in one area, still, not printing quite right. I might try it with a raft.
Sep 26, 2015 10:00 PM - Mattchu: which I hate to do.
Sep 26, 2015 10:00 PM - Mike Glass: lost internet on my cnc pc..ugg
Sep 26, 2015 10:01 PM - Mattchu: argh!
Sep 26, 2015 10:01 PM - Mike Glass: the cnc uses emt pipe
Sep 26, 2015 10:01 PM - Mattchu: so no ground rods? *looks again*
Sep 26, 2015 10:02 PM - Mattchu: so it does.
Sep 26, 2015 10:02 PM - Mike Glass: btw they are Titanium Nitride Coated Carbide CNC Double Two Flute
Sep 26, 2015 10:02 PM - Mattchu: okay, so TiN coated. *whews*
Sep 26, 2015 10:02 PM - Mike Glass: Yea not a standard drill bit
Sep 26, 2015 10:02 PM - Mattchu: was like "holy crap? where'd you find those for 2 dollars? cause chances are solid titanium cutters for 2 bucks would mean they did bad things"
Sep 26, 2015 10:03 PM - Mattchu: drill bit or endmill?
Sep 26, 2015 10:03 PM - Mike Glass: endmill
Sep 26, 2015 10:03 PM - Mike Glass: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCZPUV0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Sep 26, 2015 10:04 PM - Mattchu: oooh long bastards got ya.
Sep 26, 2015 10:04 PM - Mike Glass: wonder if I need to flip it upside down when I cut, seems to tear our the thin birch on top.
Sep 26, 2015 10:04 PM - Mattchu: flip what?
Sep 26, 2015 10:05 PM - Mike Glass: yea for cutting 3/4 wood
Sep 26, 2015 10:05 PM - Mike Glass: flip the board im cutting
Sep 26, 2015 10:05 PM - Mike Glass: looks perfect on the underside
Sep 26, 2015 10:05 PM - Mattchu: but on top it's torn?
Sep 26, 2015 10:05 PM - Mattchu: what's your depth of cut?
Sep 26, 2015 10:05 PM - Mike Glass: im cutting a hole, its just 5mm ply
Sep 26, 2015 10:06 PM - Mattchu: so just plunging?
Sep 26, 2015 10:06 PM - Mattchu: or circular interopolating?
Sep 26, 2015 10:06 PM - Mike Glass: just cutout
Sep 26, 2015 10:06 PM - Mike Glass: 1mm steps
Sep 26, 2015 10:07 PM - Mike Glass: I have 55 holes to cut at 38mm
Sep 26, 2015 10:07 PM - Mike Glass: er 28.50mm
Sep 26, 2015 10:08 PM - Mattchu: okay, so definitely doing circular interpolations then
Sep 26, 2015 10:08 PM - Mattchu: (basically telling it to draw a circle to cut out a piece)
Sep 26, 2015 10:08 PM - Mike Glass: yep in the inside of the line
Sep 26, 2015 10:09 PM - Mattchu: are you using a G41 or G42?
Sep 26, 2015 10:09 PM - Mattchu: aka climb or conventional milling.
Sep 26, 2015 10:10 PM - Mattchu: (well, in this instance it would be climb with a G3 code)
Sep 26, 2015 10:10 PM - Mike Glass: hmm not sure it does climb, but have it set to 1mm on the z speed
Sep 26, 2015 10:10 PM - Mattchu: 1mm a second?
Sep 26, 2015 10:11 PM - Mattchu: that's not terrible for wood
Sep 26, 2015 10:11 PM - Mattchu: I mean, you're doing what I'd be doing.
Sep 26, 2015 10:11 PM - Mike Glass: the software I use is real simple
Sep 26, 2015 10:11 PM - Mike Glass: called estlcam
Sep 26, 2015 10:11 PM - Mattchu: which way is the cutter drawing it's path...clockwise or counter clockwise?
Sep 26, 2015 10:12 PM - Mike Glass: he has a new version it may have climb in it
Sep 26, 2015 10:12 PM - Mattchu: not the direction of the spindle
Sep 26, 2015 10:12 PM - Mattchu: but the motion of the circular cut
Sep 26, 2015 10:13 PM - Mike Glass: are those arc commands
Sep 26, 2015 10:13 PM - Mattchu: G2 and G3 are arc commands
Sep 26, 2015 10:14 PM - Mattchu: if we're cutting on the inside of the circle (to leave holes in the piece) we'd want G3 arc commands
Sep 26, 2015 10:14 PM - Mike Glass: let me load a new one in the new software and see if it will gen those codes.
Sep 26, 2015 10:14 PM - Mattchu: okay
Sep 26, 2015 10:14 PM - Mattchu: if it's simple it should post out real easy to read code
Sep 26, 2015 10:15 PM - Mattchu: if not, I could write up something real easily to plug in, you'd have to just stick in feeds and speeds and depths into it
Sep 26, 2015 10:15 PM - Mike Glass: haha new program doesnt read the old files, wtf
Sep 26, 2015 10:16 PM - Mattchu: what? curses!
Sep 26, 2015 10:17 PM - Mike Glass: it will read my dfx I export from SW

 

Sep 26, 2015 10:17 PM - Mattchu: okay.
Sep 26, 2015 10:18 PM - Mattchu: take your time, I'm paid by the hour, and trying another trick with the print bed.
Sep 26, 2015 10:18 PM - Mattchu: =-p
Sep 26, 2015 10:20 PM - Mattchu: what I've found happen with would is if it has a layer that's laquered/laminated/aged/differs from the inside, it'll chip at the top. a trick to minimize it is to cut the object leaving material on to go back for a finish pass. climb cutting helps substantial (and is one of the hidden benefits of CNC milling).
Sep 26, 2015 10:23 PM - Mike Glass: nope same code generated
Sep 26, 2015 10:23 PM - Mike Glass: would it change if I changed it to climb milling
Sep 26, 2015 10:24 PM - Mattchu: can you email it to me?
Sep 26, 2015 10:24 PM - Mattchu: atmamatt@gmail.com
Sep 26, 2015 10:24 PM - Mattchu: yes
Sep 26, 2015 10:26 PM - Mike Glass: ok I changed it now I see G03 instead of G02
Sep 26, 2015 10:27 PM - Mattchu: okay, the good news is that shouldn't change it much (just direction) since there is no G41 or G42.
Sep 26, 2015 10:28 PM - Mattchu: (G41 and G42 are cutter compensation commands...we don't want to use those right now).
Sep 26, 2015 10:28 PM - Mattchu: don't run it yet though
Sep 26, 2015 10:29 PM - Mattchu: because it's a G3 now, the points are reversed.
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: so it would go
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: G02 X24.8022 Y26.0254 I-12.7481 J0.0000
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: then
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: G02 X37.5504 Y38.7736 I0.0000 J-12.7481
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: then
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: G02 X24.8022 Y51.5217 I12.7481 J0.0000
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: and then
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: G02 X12.0541 Y38.7736 I0.0000 J12.7481 F1200
Sep 26, 2015 10:30 PM - Mattchu: but put that F1200 in the first line.
Sep 26, 2015 10:31 PM - Mattchu: lemme reorganize and I'll ship it back
Sep 26, 2015 10:32 PM - Mike Glass: yea you lost me..lol
Sep 26, 2015 10:32 PM - Mattchu: you're cutting out circles right?
Sep 26, 2015 10:33 PM - Mike Glass: yep
Sep 26, 2015 10:34 PM - Mattchu: okay yeah I see it now. gimme a second. I'll ship back a sample
Sep 26, 2015 10:38 PM - Mattchu: I...the machine cuts in a clockwise motion right now?
Sep 26, 2015 10:41 PM - Mike Glass: yes
Sep 26, 2015 10:41 PM - Mattchu: not saying I'm not fluent in machine code...but the way this code reads now, the motions are correct for what we want, but the G02 itself shouldn't be allowing what we're asking hahaha.
Sep 26, 2015 10:41 PM - Mattchu: though this isn't the first time I've seen this
Sep 26, 2015 10:41 PM - Mattchu: okay try this out for size.
Sep 26, 2015 10:45 PM - Mattchu: sent back the first line
Sep 26, 2015 10:46 PM - Mattchu: ack, forgot the M5 M30...eh, you can add that in
Sep 26, 2015 10:46 PM - Mattchu: I also put in something to keep it from rapiding up out of your part. it'll feed up now, and then rapid to Z5.000
Sep 26, 2015 10:47 PM - Mattchu: also PEI with the regular old glue stick...working pretty darn well.
Sep 26, 2015 10:47 PM - Mike Glass: never had luck with glue stick
Sep 26, 2015 10:48 PM - Mattchu: agreed
Sep 26, 2015 10:48 PM - Mattchu: this however...this is looking good
Sep 26, 2015 10:48 PM - Mattchu: before I had to print something thin like this on a raft, just to keep it from jumping to freedom.
Sep 26, 2015 10:49 PM - Mattchu: I'm also sweltering a bit in my room...this will be my last print of the night.
Sep 26, 2015 10:49 PM - Mike Glass: so it looks close to the gcode I rendered with the new settings just looks like it doesnt put the j- correct?
Sep 26, 2015 10:50 PM - Mattchu: oh crapola, of course
Sep 26, 2015 10:50 PM - Mattchu: hold on
Sep 26, 2015 10:50 PM - Mattchu: that's a stupid matt thing
Sep 26, 2015 10:50 PM - Mattchu: or...we can cheat.
Sep 26, 2015 10:51 PM - Mattchu: no no...we'll do it the right way
Sep 26, 2015 10:51 PM - Mattchu: I will not be responsible for teaching you bad coding habits
Sep 26, 2015 10:51 PM - Mike Glass: haha
Sep 26, 2015 10:51 PM - Mattchu: so the I and J are called "modifiers"
Sep 26, 2015 10:51 PM - Mattchu: it's actually good they are in there
Sep 26, 2015 10:52 PM - Mattchu: it means your machine cannot fudge the radius they are creating.
Sep 26, 2015 10:52 PM - Mattchu: if you had those out, and put in a "R" with that number
Sep 26, 2015 10:53 PM - Mattchu: it would work...but you're laziness is passed to the machine, as it goes "okay! I can hit this number...and round it off a bit!"
Sep 26, 2015 10:53 PM - PeterkSharma: good evening
Sep 26, 2015 10:53 PM - Mattchu: so it could give you 12.7481 radius...it could also make it a nice even 12.75, or a 12.74.
Sep 26, 2015 10:54 PM - Mattchu: calculating those I and J are easy, with an equation; one that I'll tell you, but I won't do so until after I get it right for you first
Sep 26, 2015 10:55 PM - Mike Glass: So looking at both codes the I generated it looks like it just added the G03 and the number changed buy 1
Sep 26, 2015 10:55 PM - Mattchu: which number?
Sep 26, 2015 10:56 PM - Mattchu: the I or J number?
Sep 26, 2015 10:56 PM - Mike Glass: Y and J
Sep 26, 2015 10:56 PM - Mattchu: or the overall dimension of the part? (in otherwords, it cut)
Sep 26, 2015 10:56 PM - Mattchu: y and J?
Sep 26, 2015 10:56 PM - Mattchu: yes they are connected
Sep 26, 2015 10:56 PM - Mattchu: X= I and Y =J
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 PM - Mike Glass: G03 X37.5504 Y38.7735 I0.0000 J12.7480 F1200
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 PM - Mike Glass: G02 X12.0541 Y38.7736 I0.0000 J12.7481 F1200 old code
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 PM - Mattchu: interesting. and it liked it?
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 PM - Mike Glass: the x is really changed
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 PM - Mattchu: yeah it is.
Sep 26, 2015 10:57 PM - Mattchu: a lot.
Sep 26, 2015 10:58 PM - Mattchu: so you can tell it G3 in the software?
Sep 26, 2015 10:58 PM - Mattchu: but that X is correct
Sep 26, 2015 10:58 PM - Mike Glass: you chose the different types of mill that you want
Sep 26, 2015 10:58 PM - Mattchu: because we changed direction of rotation.
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mike Glass: or directions in that matter
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: perfect
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: you want that
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mike Glass: I want climb mill?
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: yes
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: or
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: yes
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: well
Sep 26, 2015 10:59 PM - Mattchu: climb is best so long as you take light cuts
Sep 26, 2015 11:00 PM - Mattchu: if you can tell it to cut a little smaller, just to get the piece out
Sep 26, 2015 11:00 PM - Mattchu: nd then go back and cut again a little bit wider
Sep 26, 2015 11:00 PM - Mattchu: it'll give you a superior finish.
Sep 26, 2015 11:00 PM - Mike Glass: shit this new version supports marlin
Sep 26, 2015 11:01 PM - Mattchu: that's interesting to me...so this machine runs on an arduino then?
Sep 26, 2015 11:01 PM - Mattchu: or a rasppi?
Sep 26, 2015 11:01 PM - Mike Glass: yep its built of the robo platform, they guy used to work for robo
Sep 26, 2015 11:01 PM - Mattchu: interesting, that could explain the 4 arcs to make a circle
Sep 26, 2015 11:02 PM - Mattchu: in theory you could tell it to cut the circle in one line of code
Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mattchu: or two (more common)
Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mike Glass: maybe repetier wont crash now when switching tabs
Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mattchu: I'll keep my fingers crossed
Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mattchu: I'm used to running Mach3
Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mattchu: but I'll be the first to admit that's some old software there
Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mattchu: well, mach3 on my old router

 

Sep 26, 2015 11:03 PM - Mike Glass: Yea I have it an do a "facepalm"
Sep 26, 2015 11:04 PM - Mattchu: at work...I'm spoiled
Sep 26, 2015 11:05 PM - Mattchu: but yeah, it's weird...the motion on your machine
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 PM - Mattchu: it's almost like it's backwards. If it's working, I won't argue with it...but it's on a weird cutting plane motion, like I'm looking at it from underneath.
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 PM - Mike Glass: if I choose pocket it does a nice clean cut but that takes too long
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 PM - Mattchu: yeah no, don't do that
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 PM - Mattchu: what you do is tell it to make a circle like before
Sep 26, 2015 11:06 PM - Mattchu: just a little smaller, like, .03 per side or something.
Sep 26, 2015 11:07 PM - Mattchu: and then go back and tell it to run the real deal
Sep 26, 2015 11:07 PM - Mike Glass: you can I see, wonder if it will let me do that
Sep 26, 2015 11:07 PM - Mattchu: might add a little time, but will help avoid improve tool deflection.
Sep 26, 2015 11:09 PM - Mike Glass: it has a pre-pocket tool
Sep 26, 2015 11:09 PM - Mike Glass: I could use a bigger bit to start out then change to a smaller one
Sep 26, 2015 11:10 PM - Mattchu: does it ask for the bit size?
Sep 26, 2015 11:10 PM - Mattchu: when it programs?
Sep 26, 2015 11:10 PM - Mike Glass: yes
Sep 26, 2015 11:10 PM - Mike Glass: allowance looks like what I want.
Sep 26, 2015 11:10 PM - Mattchu: indeed
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mattchu: or, you can make another program, same settings,tool, everything
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mike Glass: I can cut an under size first then go back
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mattchu: and lie and tell it the tool is "larger"
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mike Glass: and start at the 5mm depth
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mattchu: exactly
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mattchu: though if you were to do that
Sep 26, 2015 11:11 PM - Mattchu: i'd make it three passes
Sep 26, 2015 11:12 PM - Mattchu: one using nothing but 1mm passes
Sep 26, 2015 11:12 PM - Mike Glass: actually 6 passes
Sep 26, 2015 11:12 PM - Mattchu: er I mean programs
Sep 26, 2015 11:12 PM - Mattchu: the second program taking two 2mm passes and one 1mm pass
Sep 26, 2015 11:13 PM - Mattchu: but now I'm showing how picky I am...and thinking in metal. and keeping it to a specific size >_<
Sep 26, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Glass: sucks it wont import my old files,I have shitloads
Sep 26, 2015 11:14 PM - Mattchu: you're right, go for it your way it should work nicely.
Sep 26, 2015 11:14 PM - Mattchu: different format?
Sep 26, 2015 11:14 PM - Mike Glass: e25 was the old files e8 is the new
Sep 26, 2015 11:15 PM - Mattchu: bah. dang it.
Sep 26, 2015 11:16 PM - Mattchu: stupid question: how do I load a picture into this thing? I wanna show off ABS printing on a PEI plate, enclosureless,
Sep 26, 2015 11:16 PM - Mike Glass: it will use the old gcode files, but you have to have a uno to run them from the program, I may change out my mega for the uno
Sep 26, 2015 11:16 PM - Mattchu: what? really? I'm looking at that gcode now...its super basic.
Sep 26, 2015 11:16 PM - Mike Glass: use imgur then hit the picture icon and paste
Sep 26, 2015 11:17 PM - Mattchu: is it a different file extension?
Sep 26, 2015 11:17 PM - Mike Glass: yea its the project file not the gcode
Sep 26, 2015 11:17 PM - Mattchu: dammit.
Sep 26, 2015 11:17 PM - Mattchu: yeah the .ngc is modifiable in text editor >_<
Sep 26, 2015 11:18 PM - Mike Glass: yep just gcode
Sep 26, 2015 11:20 PM - Mattchu: so the code files are good...but all the projects you drew up (the cad files) are bad?
Sep 26, 2015 11:20 PM - Mike Glass: the marlin code adds back in the g02 along with the G03
Sep 26, 2015 11:20 PM - Mike Glass: no I would just have to re-import the cad files and do the paths again.
Sep 26, 2015 11:21 PM - Mike Glass: most of them are svg's though, I primarly use inkscape to design.
Sep 26, 2015 11:21 PM - Mike Glass: unless its a real part then use solidworks
Sep 26, 2015 11:22 PM - Mattchu: there we go...something I'm more familar'ish with
Sep 26, 2015 11:22 PM - Mattchu: though I use it's competitor more (Creo/Pro-Engineer)
Sep 26, 2015 11:23 PM - Mike Glass: I have used it off and on for 8 years, always come back to it.
Sep 26, 2015 11:24 PM - Mattchu: still printing, and a little rough at the bottom. but viola...abs printing on a PEI board with no enclosure
Sep 26, 2015 11:24 PM - Mattchu: http://i.imgur.com/SLnuqNg.jpg
Sep 26, 2015 11:26 PM - Mattchu: glue stick, PEI, and genuflecting
Sep 26, 2015 11:26 PM - Mike Glass: looks a little low in the back
Sep 26, 2015 11:26 PM - Mike Glass: on the skirt
Sep 26, 2015 11:26 PM - Mattchu: optical illusion...printed a radius =-D
Sep 26, 2015 11:26 PM - Mattchu: oh the skirt is absolute crap
Sep 26, 2015 11:27 PM - Mattchu: that's the code posing out of simplify poorly
Sep 26, 2015 11:27 PM - Mattchu: I might tell it to slow down a bit for all ops now on ABS
Sep 26, 2015 11:27 PM - Mattchu: but I'm still convinced it prints on a layer higher than the part
Sep 26, 2015 11:28 PM - Mattchu: alternatively...it's printing too fast.
Sep 26, 2015 11:28 PM - Mattchu: on the skirt.
Sep 26, 2015 11:28 PM - Mike Glass: I print my first layer at 50mm
Sep 26, 2015 11:30 PM - Mike Glass: but thats on painters tape
Sep 26, 2015 11:30 PM - Mattchu: hehehe
Sep 26, 2015 11:30 PM - Mattchu: I'm at 30 for the first layer, 60 for each after that.
Sep 26, 2015 11:31 PM - Mattchu: I won't argue with simplify's software, after watching it print a knife edge of sorts in the vertical position, perfectly
Sep 26, 2015 11:31 PM - Mike Glass: Well I better get off to bed I have lots of project working on tomorrow.
Sep 26, 2015 11:31 PM - Mattchu: good night sir! hopefully the code works.
Sep 26, 2015 11:31 PM - Mattchu: hopefully I was helpful, it not, I appreciate you putting up with me.
Sep 26, 2015 11:32 PM - Mike Glass: yea will be interesting to see what happens, good night, hah it was good talking I might of learned something
Sep 26, 2015 11:34 PM - Mattchu: all it means is that you've got enough knowledge to really get into trouble.
Sep 27, 2015 6:38 AM - Mike Glass: morning Jim
Sep 27, 2015 6:48 AM - Mike Glass: Hey Mark hows the sla coming along
Sep 27, 2015 7:02 AM - donhuevo: morning
Sep 27, 2015 7:03 AM - Mike Glass: hey dood
Sep 27, 2015 7:04 AM - donhuevo: 'sup?
Sep 27, 2015 7:04 AM - Mike Glass: not much just watching some laser tutorials
Sep 27, 2015 7:05 AM - donhuevo: cool. As soon as I start my 2nd cup, I'm going to go work on the other printer some
Sep 27, 2015 7:06 AM - Mike Glass: 2nd cup of coffee, or second cup of squinty?
Sep 27, 2015 7:06 AM - donhuevo: coffee should always be inferred
Sep 27, 2015 7:06 AM - donhuevo: although, testing different settings on the robo, I ended up with 4 orange shot glass squinties
Sep 27, 2015 7:07 AM - jim3Dbot: Mornin' all
Sep 27, 2015 7:07 AM - donhuevo: hey jim
Sep 27, 2015 7:07 AM - jim3Dbot: hey Don
Sep 27, 2015 7:07 AM - Mike Glass: Jim
Sep 27, 2015 7:07 AM - jim3Dbot: Mike
Sep 27, 2015 7:07 AM - jim3Dbot: cold this AM
Sep 27, 2015 7:08 AM - donhuevo: nice breeze... I'm likin' it
Sep 27, 2015 7:08 AM - jim3Dbot: Nice moon last nite...didn't want to come in...
Sep 27, 2015 7:09 AM - jim3Dbot: neighbor pullin' in dock....should help him................nahhhhh
Sep 27, 2015 7:09 AM - Mike Glass: blood moon tonight
Sep 27, 2015 7:10 AM - jim3Dbot: called it a buck moon, I think
Sep 27, 2015 7:12 AM - jim3Dbot: thunder moon, some say...............gad! too many names
Sep 27, 2015 7:23 AM - jim3Dbot: I need to rube-up my broken printed bracket on the robo with a L bracket, put it back together, so I can print a new bracket, then take robo back apart, install bracket, and put back together................not choice of activities today.....
Sep 27, 2015 7:26 AM - Mike Glass: l bracket?
Sep 27, 2015 7:28 AM - jim3Dbot: the bracket modeled for the IR, shoulda had 45' supports on the PLA 'L' bracket....seemed strong enuf for the tiny brd......but not strong enuf for my slipped screwdriver.....
Sep 27, 2015 7:28 AM - Mike Glass: oops
