[23:14:35] <katsmeow> <cough>
[23:24:59] <katsmeow> R1810 ball bearings for 50 cents each
[23:27:05] <katsmeow> interesting, trailer hitch balls are way cheaper if not polished and chromed
[23:27:34] <katsmeow> Curt 40085 2-5/16" Raw Steel Trailer Hitch Ball w/ 30,000 lbs. Capacity
[23:27:48] <katsmeow> massively strong robot leg joints
[23:35:18] <rue_house> ooo

[23:38:41] <rue_house> those ones?
[23:39:35] <katsmeow> prolly
[23:39:53] <rue_house> my smt diodes arrived today
[23:39:59] <rue_house> my special *2* wire ones
[23:40:18] <rue_house> its nice to have SOMETHING arrive
[23:40:26] <rue_house> 28 things in the mail
[23:40:29] <katsmeow> yeas, that seller posts on the usa ebay too
[23:40:52] <katsmeow> he sells those in lots of 1,4, 25, 50, and 100, iirc
[23:40:54] <rue_house> can you think of anything I should 3d print and sell on ebay?
[23:41:01] <katsmeow> gears
[23:41:18] <katsmeow> roller and tow-chain sprockets
[23:41:32] <rue_house> plastic 3d printed ones?
[23:41:52] <katsmeow> reason not to?
[23:42:52] <katsmeow> you might do like Ford did timing chain sprockets: layer plastic over a raw metal core
[23:45:41] <rue_house> http://hackaday.com/2016/10/05/two-stage-tentacle-mechanisms-part-ii-the-cable-controller/
[23:45:43] <rue_house> neato
[23:46:31] <katsmeow> so the bore is in steel or aluminum, but the outer edge of the metal can have any printing done to match any chain
[23:47:03] <rue_house> I know what you mean, the late vcrs were all metal-core injection molded
[23:47:43] <katsmeow> k
[23:49:56] <katsmeow> http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCRAP-METAL/391583346529 "for parts of not working" no s&h, pickup only
[23:55:31] <rue_house> hahahaha
[23:55:34] <rue_house> like that!
[23:57:14] <rue_house> heh, with the price of scrap, they will be lucky to get much more than $10
[23:58:17] <katsmeow> there's chainlink fence in that pile, someone local would scoop that up if they had a truck
[23:58:28] <katsmeow> some fence tubing too

[23:58:47] <rue_house> 24' sounds like a steal for $13
