05:26 AM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
03:30 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, I got my extruder
07:50 PM * furrywolf curls back up into a wolfyball and cries more
08:39 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, is it broken yet?
08:39 PM rue_mohr: :)
08:47 PM zhanx: not yet rue_mohr
08:47 PM zhanx: its installed now
08:48 PM rue_mohr: k, recalibrate it all
08:49 PM rue_mohr: I cant even remember where we were
09:03 PM zhanx: I am doing the 100 test square, its heating up now
09:04 PM zhanx: this filament works at 210 fine
09:06 PM rue_mohr: each temp sensor is different
09:06 PM rue_mohr: by a bit
09:06 PM zhanx: yep
09:13 PM zhanx: the z axis stepper driver was being goofy so i replaced it
09:13 PM zhanx: ok its printing nice again
09:13 PM zhanx: I will jinx myself
09:15 PM rue_mohr: how come you have so many issues with things I NEVER have issue with....
09:16 PM zhanx: bets me
09:16 PM zhanx: beats
09:16 PM rue_mohr: :/
09:16 PM zhanx: its working great now
09:16 PM rue_mohr: yea, I cant remember where we were at
09:16 PM zhanx: I think that was a stepper off the old board and upgrades
09:16 PM zhanx: I have a few to print
09:16 PM zhanx: y axis motor mount first
09:17 PM Tom_L: if it is working why print upgrades?
09:17 PM rue_mohr: better printing
09:17 PM zhanx: so it prints better quality
09:17 PM Tom_L: ok
09:17 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, wanna take a pic of your machine again and I can suggest tings?
09:18 PM zhanx: sure the wiring is everywhere right now
09:25 PM zhanx: https://imgur.com/a/UkCSKxj
09:26 PM rue_mohr: were you using the uno with a shield?
09:27 PM rue_mohr: is the left bottom Z rail holder broken?
09:28 PM rue_mohr: heh, did you use the spool holder that takes like 1/4kg of plastic? :)
09:28 PM zhanx: yes and no
09:28 PM zhanx: and yes
09:29 PM rue_mohr: #4 is that glass being flat enough?
09:29 PM rue_mohr: so how about using the uno board holder then
09:29 PM rue_mohr: ^ #5
09:30 PM zhanx: I just slapped it together to see if it works
09:30 PM zhanx: that glass is fine for that one
09:30 PM rue_mohr: hah, your not using the machined pullies I sent ya!
09:30 PM zhanx: #5 ?
09:30 PM rue_mohr: it looks like I ought number the questions for quick answer ref
09:31 PM rue_mohr: #6 have any 12V led strip?
09:31 PM zhanx: #6 I did I took it off for now
09:32 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/reprap4/p1100163.jpg
09:32 PM rue_mohr: see how the uno is mounted?
09:32 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/reprap4/p1100161.jpg
09:33 PM rue_mohr: want one of those broackets, keep it out of trouble?
09:34 PM zhanx: yes please
09:34 PM rue_mohr: remember that if your not doing a squareness test, the washer is a better test print
09:35 PM zhanx: the square is better to see if the bed is leveled
09:35 PM zhanx: its bigger
09:35 PM rue_mohr: a few washers
09:35 PM rue_mohr: less a waste of plastic!
09:36 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna make a printer parts folder
09:38 PM rue_mohr: found it
09:38 PM rue_mohr: posting
09:39 PM zhanx: k, i was looking
09:39 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/objects/rue_reprap/
09:39 PM rue_mohr: I'll put good parts in there as we choose 'em
09:40 PM rue_mohr: oh I'll stick my better spool holder in there too
09:41 PM zhanx: Yea, i just grabbed a spool holder to get it out of the way
09:42 PM rue_mohr: yea I had a good one I would have suggested
09:42 PM rue_mohr: meh
09:42 PM zhanx: it works and I can upgrade it as I got
09:42 PM zhanx: got time
09:43 PM zhanx: we are getting a winter storm so i am stuck to home tomorrow
09:44 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/objects/rue_reprap/rue_spoolholder_r4_s.stl
09:45 PM rue_mohr: it holds it back out of the way
09:45 PM zhanx: k
09:45 PM rue_mohr: if you like, anyhow
09:45 PM zhanx: found the pulleys you sent me, I remember why they are not on now
09:46 PM zhanx: I was waiting to replace the y motor mount first you had a gear reduction one
09:47 PM rue_mohr: ok, lets add that
09:47 PM rue_mohr: thast about 47 peices...
09:47 PM rue_mohr: k...
09:47 PM zhanx: I had a note in the box for me
09:47 PM rue_mohr: did you get the bearings?
09:47 PM zhanx: which ones ?
09:47 PM rue_mohr: I dont recall
09:47 PM zhanx: I have a pack of smaller ones for some reason
09:48 PM rue_mohr: oh I'z gonna post this on thingiverse and it'll take quite some time to post
09:48 PM rue_mohr: 5mm id?
09:49 PM rue_mohr: Y gearbox consits of...
09:49 PM rue_mohr: pinion gear, spur gear, base, and cap...
09:49 PM rue_mohr: ok, do you have a drillpress?
09:50 PM rue_mohr: cause, you need to drill out nuts to make the collars for attaching the gears to the shafts
09:50 PM rue_mohr: I dont use a stupid 3d printed grubscrew system
09:50 PM zhanx: 8mm id 16mm od
09:50 PM rue_mohr: nope
09:50 PM rue_mohr: definitly 5mmid
09:51 PM zhanx: then whyt
09:51 PM zhanx: why did i order these? whats the od on yours
09:51 PM rue_mohr: I dont know
09:51 PM rue_mohr: I have to re-learn all this and re-work out how to build one
09:52 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/reprap3/p1090678.jpg
09:52 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/reprap3/p1090679.jpg
09:52 PM rue_mohr: that REALLY doesn't help me either
09:52 PM rue_mohr: notice it just appears?
09:52 PM rue_mohr: :/
09:53 PM zhanx: ok I will have to print it
09:53 PM zhanx: and measure it
09:53 PM rue_mohr: no, I have the numbers
09:53 PM rue_mohr: just not here and not right now
09:53 PM zhanx: and yes i have a drill press
09:53 PM zhanx: one of the few tools I do have
09:53 PM rue_mohr: I'm going to leverage ya to post these on thingiverse
09:53 PM zhanx: k
09:54 PM zhanx: your account or mine
09:54 PM rue_mohr: I bet I pre-assembled the little !@#$
09:54 PM rue_mohr: I'll post it, and I'm gonna use your need to get me to do it
09:55 PM zhanx: ok
09:55 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/reprap2/slide.htm
09:55 PM zhanx: Oh side note for later, my lasers are in the code finds the laser line by line
09:55 PM rue_mohr: arg
09:55 PM rue_mohr: WTF rue why isn't eh image name a link
09:56 PM rue_mohr: p1070722.jpg
09:56 PM zhanx: ok
09:56 PM rue_mohr: damnit I skipped over it again
09:57 PM rue_mohr: I'll ahve to build a new one, and document it
09:57 PM rue_mohr: haha!
09:57 PM rue_mohr: dude, this works
09:57 PM rue_mohr: I need a new one for my first printer anyhow
09:57 PM rue_mohr: ok, mind if I hold off till the weekend?
09:57 PM zhanx: ok
09:58 PM rue_mohr: PLEASE REMIND ME
09:58 PM zhanx: I need to print out some test tube holders and I will
09:58 PM zhanx: ok reminder in the phone
09:58 PM rue_mohr: pat of it is that I ahve a dir of 4 files for the prints for it
09:59 PM rue_mohr: but I'm SURE thre are spacers missing
09:59 PM rue_mohr: morfiles/objects/3d_printers/reprap3/Ygearbox/
09:59 PM rue_mohr: that is the clue for me
09:59 PM rue_mohr: maybe we should do a X gearbox too
10:00 PM rue_mohr: hey, design a filament pre-heater for me, like a 7W resistor in a box that filament goes thru just above the extruder to get 'warmed' a bit
10:01 PM rue_mohr: help drive off moisture
10:01 PM rue_mohr: long is good
10:01 PM rue_mohr: give the filament time to nicely vacate its water
10:04 PM rue_mohr: hey, if the new tim hortons is as much as a @#$%@#@#$% as it looks like it is, they will probably be flying you in to plug in the IP phone
10:04 PM rue_mohr: if so, look me up!
10:04 PM rue_mohr: you can stay in the guest room
10:04 PM rue_mohr: kids know how to use irc?
10:10 PM Tom_L: who taught you?
10:11 PM rue_mohr: 001001010010110101001001001
10:13 PM zhanx: ok let me print that holder and see how it goes
10:13 PM rue_mohr: in '93 some buddies mentioned irc but didn't tell me anything I needed to know
10:13 PM rue_mohr: so I didn't
10:13 PM rue_mohr: then in 2000 I was shown how to get to linuxhelp, and everything started to make sense
10:13 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, mind it, it'll try and warp/pull
10:14 PM zhanx: k
10:14 PM rue_mohr: wipe where the ends sit with extra alcohol and make sure the tape is rubbed down good
10:19 PM zhanx: too late
10:19 PM zhanx: it should hold tho but we will find out
10:20 PM zhanx: almost forgot to check the motors to see if they are getting hot
10:59 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, ?
10:59 PM rue_mohr: http://paste.debian.net/1051938
10:59 PM rue_mohr: test of the cam program without the gui
11:00 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna adjust a few things and I think its ready to merge
11:00 PM zhanx: k
11:00 PM rue_mohr: I think it hard for the code to be cleaner than that
11:01 PM zhanx: you might be right on that
11:03 PM zhanx: this filament shrinks more than the last one
11:04 PM rue_mohr: or you changed the sensor and its a bit off?
11:04 PM rue_mohr: or the house is a bit cooler?
11:04 PM rue_mohr: ...
11:06 PM zhanx: cooler for sure
11:10 PM rue_mohr: hmm, Tom_L if I take on the suggestion you made yesterday, I'll need to know the final position of things like arcs.
11:10 PM rue_mohr: or wait, you specify that in gcode dont ya?
11:10 PM rue_mohr: arc from where you are to here with the middle around there?
11:10 PM rue_mohr: isn't that how it goes?
11:18 PM zhanx: this print looks like garbage
11:19 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:19 PM rue_mohr: slower
11:19 PM rue_mohr: 30%
11:19 PM rue_mohr: did it pull the tape off the bed?
11:20 PM zhanx: no the layer height is too high
11:20 PM rue_mohr: .2mm
11:20 PM rue_mohr: .25 is your making it crude
11:20 PM rue_mohr: if
11:23 PM zhanx: either way it will hold the ramps board
11:24 PM rue_mohr: oh that one, oh dear
11:24 PM rue_mohr: that should be a pretty easy print
11:24 PM rue_mohr: go slooooower
11:24 PM rue_mohr: :)
11:25 PM rue_mohr: (I'm actaully not sure if that will fix it, I'v not had the patience)
11:37 PM zhanx: ok reducing the layer to .20 much better
11:40 PM rue_mohr: exciting, I think the cam code is ready for integration into the gui code
11:40 PM rue_mohr: so, now I just have to get the gui code ready
11:40 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:40 PM rue_mohr: right now I can view the dxf, and select entities
11:41 PM rue_mohr: I need to be able to trigger the output generation
11:41 PM rue_mohr: when I have the entities selected
11:41 PM rue_mohr: if I take a longer road, I need to be able to define an nc operations params
11:42 PM rue_mohr: but it seems like 'generate nc output' is a button I'll want
11:42 PM rue_mohr: or menu... hmm
11:42 PM rue_mohr: file, open...
11:42 PM rue_mohr: hmmmm
11:43 PM rue_mohr: as event based code, it doesn't matter
