12:00 AM rue_mohr: wow 3.6km/hr
12:14 AM rue_mohr: when you hit over 1 there..
12:14 AM rifraf: heh, i remember the beisse router with more than 1m/s closer to 2
12:14 AM rue_mohr: yike
12:14 AM rifraf: it would knock you into the next room if you got in its way
12:14 AM rue_mohr: yea
12:14 AM rue_mohr: I just dont want to wait for it to jog
12:14 AM rifraf: had many sensors to detect obstables like humans
12:14 AM rue_mohr: at 1m/s is shouldn't take more than 4s to cross the table
12:14 AM rifraf: and was probable more than 500kg moving
12:14 AM rifraf: easy
12:14 AM rue_mohr: want to use this one for making casting templates
12:14 AM rifraf: this was 4m x 2m machine, 4 meter bed, just a woosh and it could be at the other end
12:14 AM rue_mohr: and furniture
12:14 AM rue_mohr: and arcade cabinets
12:14 AM rifraf: you gonna reinvent space invaders and pac man?
12:14 AM rue_mohr: no
12:14 AM rue_mohr: but aparently people are willing to pay a lot for cabinets
12:30 AM rue_mohr: hehe
12:31 AM rue_mohr: I made a meme joke on twitter and hit a little closer to home than I expcted
12:31 AM rue_mohr: https://x.com/RueNahcMohr/status/1895307475253109227
12:31 AM rue_mohr: turns out that SPRAGUE in the top, is like a 1970's cap
12:39 AM rue_mohr: its like their 3rd night of filming, I wonder how long they will be at it
04:36 AM VanUnamed_ is now known as VanUnamed
06:17 AM rue_mohr: the ones with the vibrating solenoid?
09:17 AM Tom_L: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d0oPlP3mrNE
12:44 PM rue_mohr: their all gone this morning!
12:45 PM aandrew: Tom_L: nice, how much force does it actually have, that's just a little 9g servo
12:46 PM rue_mohr: thats one of the good 9g servos
12:46 PM rue_mohr: doesnt look digital tho
12:47 PM aandrew: those sprague caps ... I can *smell* that tweet. many happy hours tearing apart old TVs, that combination of tobacco and old rosin and dust as you untangle the curled-up pins with needle nose pliers and a 40W Weller soldering gun...
12:47 PM rue_mohr: oh no thats a full size I think
12:47 PM rue_mohr: heh
12:47 PM rue_mohr: it just happened to be in there
12:47 PM rue_mohr: no idea where its from
12:48 PM aandrew: doesn't matter, you made an old fart nostalgic for his 7-8yo days for a few moments
12:48 PM aandrew: it's funny how something like that can trigger such a response
12:48 PM rue_mohr: hah
12:50 PM aandrew: not quite the same thing as that parallel gripper: https://techniccontroller.com/3d-printed-parallel-gripper/
12:52 PM aandrew: same idea with the gear driving two linear gears (not sure what the real word for that is) but tom's uses a metal rail in the middle for rigidity and to make the action smooth
12:53 PM aandrew: tom's is also not a 9g servo, that's a bigger one and like you said, good one not cheap plastic gears
12:56 PM aandrew: hah I just realized the servo wires are close to being germany's colours
12:57 PM rue_mohr: hmm I have quite an unhappy lower back this morning
12:57 PM rue_mohr: I should robot that
12:58 PM rue_mohr: heh, yea its funny I hit that meme so close.
12:58 PM aandrew: that sucks, I haven't lower back pain issues for years but I know it sucks
12:58 PM rue_mohr: I need a big robot to just flop me around till everything is loose
12:59 PM aandrew: I remember exactly when and how I fucked my back up too... lifting 4x8 sheets of chipboard on to the roof to replace the garage roof
12:59 PM aandrew: sat down in a chair after, felt the teeniest tinest shift in my back and that was it. three years of trying everything to fix it to no result
12:59 PM aandrew: I was like 24
02:24 PM rue_mohr: I dont want to eat and I need breakfast
02:24 PM rue_mohr: wonderful sunny day out
02:25 PM Tom_L: have a picnic
02:25 PM rue_mohr: weld or cast something
02:41 PM aandrew: that wouldn't make for a very nice picnic
02:45 PM Tom_L: maybe a weenie roast
03:35 PM rifraf: morning
03:36 PM Tom_L: afternoon yesterday
03:42 PM rifraf: collet chuck is doing it thing today :)

03:55 PM rifraf: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rcXMSnGL6YQ
04:04 PM rifraf: working with air, 1 sided though, still works perfect
04:15 PM aandrew: when I was a kid dad let us "cook" frozen french fries with his blow torch. didn't worth worth a shit of course
04:15 PM aandrew: I also tried to cook a hot dog with a 12V power supply and two of my grandmother's nice silver forks... she was not pleased and the hot dog took hours to even get remotely warm
04:15 PM aandrew: and even that was probably just coming up to ambient
04:25 PM rue_shop2: rifraf, I welded a bracket to it, bolted it into the supply
04:25 PM rue_shop2: :]
04:25 PM rifraf: rue_mohr see the chuck working?
04:34 PM Tom_L: pretty cool
04:35 PM Tom_L: you need to build a material tube now for long bars and mount it behind the lathe
04:36 PM rifraf: in time yep
04:37 PM rifraf: will be pretty basic support rings
05:13 PM rue_shop2: ok, rectifiers installed
