05:54 PM zhanx: so broke the bed glass again today
05:58 PM Tom_L: :(
05:58 PM Tom_L: the one you just got?
05:58 PM zhanx: its re calibrated and running again, you would think i am getting good at this
05:58 PM zhanx: Tom_L, yep
05:58 PM Tom_L: get thicker tempered glass next time
05:58 PM zhanx: and as a bonus all parts I made last night fit perfect
05:58 PM zhanx: or make sure its on the counter before i let go
05:58 PM zhanx: Tom_L, you test cut those macro's yet?
05:59 PM Tom_L: not until it warms up out there
05:59 PM zhanx: it was 34 here, so i clean out in the workshop some
05:59 PM Tom_L: i'm confident about the internal one, i've run code that matches the model already
06:00 PM Tom_L: it was a little snug but that's just tolerance adjustments
06:00 PM Tom_L: what few changes i've made so far i may combine them after all. i'll see once it's all working
06:08 PM zhanx: i would leave them separate for changes later
06:15 PM Tom_L: i'll see, i've got the separate files too
06:43 PM zhanx: my 10 year old was doing 1000 questions on the printer again
06:44 PM Tom_L: that's all?
06:45 PM zhanx: if you don't count the daily ones yes
07:12 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, why is everyone freaking out about snow?
07:12 PM Tom_L: Q.
07:12 PM Tom_L: - * - * - = - ?
07:13 PM Tom_L: (- * +) * - = ?
07:13 PM zhanx: snow? what snow?
07:13 PM Tom_L: +
07:13 PM rue_mohr: dunno, heard it was snowing in LA
07:14 PM zhanx: snow in LA is rare
07:16 PM rue_mohr: "We got some ”slushy snow” coming down in several spots of eastern Ventura County"
07:30 PM Tom_L: can't figure out how to write the macro to climb cut the external thread
07:30 PM Tom_L: otherwise it's done
07:37 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, thats a switch for your other version, right?
07:38 PM Tom_L: first one was internal threads
07:38 PM Tom_L: this is for external
07:38 PM Tom_L: i think i just fixed it...
07:38 PM Tom_L: testing
07:57 PM Tom_L: giving me a headache... getting all the lead in lead out right for RH LH threads and climb cutting...

09:17 PM zhanx: ok last piece on the printer, revised it
09:17 PM zhanx: thicker walls
09:18 PM Tom_L: made 2 files then combined them
09:18 PM zhanx: k
09:18 PM Tom_L: i eliminated some options
09:18 PM Tom_L: since it's best to climb cut
09:18 PM zhanx: i wll take photos of this tomorrow when its all setup
09:21 PM zhanx: wife was like are you starting a print before bed? yep last one, ok finish it
