12:00 AM rue_shop3: yea, one of the connections on the bed heater dosn't like 90%
12:03 AM katsmeow: but you don;t need the bed at 110C anyhow, do you ?
12:03 AM rue_shop3: yup, for ABS
12:03 AM rue_shop3: bed at 110c, nozzel at 242c
12:03 AM katsmeow: won;t that heat warp the metal bed itself??
12:03 AM rue_shop3: the sub-heater bed is a layer of cork and wood
12:03 AM rue_shop3: :S
12:03 AM rue_shop3: as spec'd by
12:03 AM katsmeow: what if you insulate the bottom with compacted fiberglass you can get from ductwork?
12:03 AM rue_shop3: 'the internet'
12:03 AM rue_shop3: how about a sheet of silicone?
12:03 AM rue_shop3: I'm testing
12:03 AM rue_shop3: lots of things aren't how I want them
12:03 AM katsmeow: silicone may beat having nothing
12:03 AM rue_shop3: if it works and dosn't blow up, I'm a step ahead
12:06 AM rue_shop3: I have 2kg of ABS to figure out how to use up
12:07 AM rue_shop3: then I can put the heating stuff to bed () till I decide to turn the printers I get for free into filament
12:07 AM rue_shop3: they must put PC into ABS to stiffen it up...
12:09 AM katsmeow: stackable cases for more than one sbc (like the raspi, etc)
12:09 AM rue_shop3: turn printer cases into storage bins?
12:09 AM rue_shop3: seems somehow ironic
12:13 AM katsmeow: i am thinking of using 25 - 30 of those 600 set-top cable boxes as equipment racks
12:13 AM katsmeow: shelves in the 19" racks
12:13 AM rue_shop3: ABS+PC?
12:14 AM rue_shop3: almost everything is
12:14 AM rue_shop3: if I can make a filament machine, I'll have hundreds of pounds of free plastic
12:15 AM katsmeow: a slowmelter for generic plastic?
12:16 AM katsmeow: won;t you need a grinder to convert it all to lil bits too?
12:16 AM rue_shop3: yep
12:16 AM rue_shop3: no, big hot chamber
12:16 AM rue_shop3: 250c
12:16 AM rue_shop3: maybe
12:16 AM rue_shop3: let it all ooze down to a regular shape or soemthing
12:49 AM katsmeow: Athang15 pts2 hrThe only constant I've found in computing, is that the difficulty of your problems scales directly with your knowledge of problems.
01:00 AM katsmeow: wth kind of magic is this ?? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXsBHf0LbXA
01:04 AM katsmeow: gnites

08:39 PM rue_bed: ah nice
08:39 PM Tom_L: fusion 360 calculated all that as one
08:39 PM rue_bed: yep
08:39 PM Tom_L: wanted to test it a bit
08:41 PM rue_bed: you have to keep the machine working too

09:55 PM ^kat^-afk is now known as ^kat^
09:55 PM ^kat^: mou
10:34 PM rue_shop3: hey
10:34 PM rue_shop3: trying to get a big enough transformer on the heater of my printer that it can actaully get up to temp
10:35 PM ^kat^: o
10:36 PM * ^kat^ hands rue a 1kw 15v boost-buck
10:41 PM rue_shop3: found a 600VA 24V transformer to drive the 12V element
10:42 PM ^kat^: :-|
10:44 PM rue_shop3: and it can just barely hold temp
10:45 PM ^kat^: stop losing the heat?
11:03 PM ^kat^: what if you bolt a stovetop element to it's bottom?
11:09 PM rue_shop3: I think its possable to get too hot
11:10 PM rue_shop3: and have it not stick
11:10 PM ^kat^: you can put a lite dimmer on the element too
11:11 PM rue_shop3: its controlled by the avr kat
11:11 PM rue_shop3: its got a pid loop
11:11 PM rue_shop3: but if the hardware cant get there, it dont matter much
11:11 PM rue_shop3: AND I dont know where there is
11:12 PM * ^kat^ gives up
11:12 PM rue_shop3: do you mean as a secondary heater?
11:12 PM rue_shop3: cause thats the only way what you saying makes sense
11:12 PM ^kat^: yeas
11:13 PM ^kat^: if the avr-controlled one heats the top, and looses no heat thru the bottom, it may be adequate
11:26 PM * ^kat^ wavers gnites
