11:09 PM rue_mohr: I should have done this before the maker faire
11:09 PM zhanx: did you go?
11:09 PM rue_mohr: yea

11:10 PM rue_mohr: tho, most people didn't understand most things
11:10 PM zhanx: how was it? i want to go to one
11:10 PM rue_mohr: I prettymuch stuck to introducing people to their first 3d printer
11:10 PM zhanx: thats not much fun
11:10 PM rue_mohr: about 50% of the people had never seen one
11:11 PM rue_mohr: 50% that hadn't were amazed
11:11 PM zhanx: while its good you showed them, did you get a chance to walk around?
11:11 PM rue_mohr: yes, took a few walkabouts
11:11 PM rue_mohr: and nobody died during the power tools drag race that I made the controller for
11:12 PM zhanx: well that sucks
11:13 PM rue_mohr: one of our co-ordinators was freaked out
11:13 PM Tom_L: what greyprints?
11:13 PM rue_mohr: for your cnc
11:13 PM Tom_L: i'm sure i do
11:13 PM Tom_L: what are you lookin for?
11:14 PM rue_mohr: a start
11:14 PM rue_mohr: I have that huge C channel
11:14 PM rue_mohr: I think thats my base?
11:14 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/
11:14 PM Tom_L: it's all there somewhere
11:14 PM Tom_L: i deleted the first couple revisions
11:14 PM zhanx: i got 3 pairs of rollerblades for a buck for the bearings
11:14 PM rue_mohr: I need to deal with the 3d printer and the mech first
11:14 PM Tom_L: one may have been a c channel version
11:15 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/RearView.jpg
11:16 PM Tom_L: that was an early design i deemed unfit
11:17 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Column_Mill_VMC.jpg
11:17 PM Tom_L: turned out to be a winner
11:18 PM rue_mohr: I suppose I ned to work out if I'm going to take 3/4 printers and put them on the rack in the livingroom or build a 5th
11:18 PM rue_mohr: :S
11:18 PM rue_mohr: 3 in the house and 2 in the shop
11:18 PM rue_mohr: ?
11:27 PM rue_shop4: the 3d printer is 1/4" too wide for the tray I have on the rack
