14:40 Tom_itx do torrents take a while to begin downloading?
14:46 rue_more only if they are broken
14:46 Tom_itx i was gonna try one..
14:46 rue_more well, the new printer head wont go
14:47 Tom_itx why not?
14:47 Tom_itx you don't have any more quartz?
14:47 rue_more the quartz is fine
14:48 Tom_itx you said it broke all over
14:48 rue_more I changed 2 parts of the design and it keeps jambing up
14:48 Tom_itx what broke?
14:48 rue_more yea, and I replaced the quartz
14:48 Tom_itx still don't know why it broke?
14:49 rue_more I remade the lower half out of stainless, with a nice flat bottom for the quarts to sit on, and moved the temp sensor closer to the nozzel (and replaced the quartz)
14:49 rue_more I think that the peice it was sitting on had a rib that gradually fractured it
14:49 Tom_itx i wish i had a better way to make fins on my stainless
14:50 Tom_itx they're too fat and too far apart
14:50 rue_more it split lengthwise, hard to do that
14:50 rue_more cutoff?
14:50 Tom_itx that's what i used
14:50 Tom_itx even after i thinned it
14:50 rue_more try making a cutter out of a hacksaw blade?
14:51 rue_more I'm gonna go try to get some boxing day sales

14:51 rue_more want anything?
14:51 Tom_itx boxing?
14:51 rue_more looks like its about the right theme
14:52 Tom_itx i'm not even sure what i did with those
14:52 rue_more like you say, I'd make them fins thinner, but i think its better than some of them I'v seen
14:53 Tom_itx i just did that to see if i could
14:53 rue_more indeed
14:53 Tom_itx just like nearly everything else i do
14:53 rue_more the hotend is the only challanging part of the printer to make, really

14:53 rue_more esp that damned 0.4mm nozzel
14:54 rue_more monolythic, hmm
14:54 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/reprap/nozzle5.jpg
14:54 Tom_itx the hole should be small enough
14:54 rue_more why aluminum, do you know if other tips are alum?
14:54 Tom_itx no idea
14:54 Tom_itx iirc back then those were
14:57 Tom_itx ok it seems to be downloading now
