10:23 PM rue_bed: hmm
10:24 PM Tom_L: this heard from an insider perspective
10:24 PM rue_bed: the new 3d printers are getting clse
10:25 PM Tom_L: do you use the fine nozzles on any of them?
10:25 PM rue_bed: were waiting for silicone to set on the beds
10:25 PM rue_bed: I think their 0.4 nozzels
10:25 PM Tom_L: i have no idea what 'fine' is really
10:26 PM rue_bed: yar, and the community has been playing
10:26 PM Tom_L: the stuff my kid printed in his class are amazingly fine
10:26 PM rue_bed: for a while it was pointed out that the radius of a corner on a 1mm nozzel is only 0.5mm
10:26 PM Tom_L: on dremel printers? i think
10:26 PM rue_bed: hah, dremel, forgot about that
10:27 PM rue_bed: wonder how thats going for them
10:27 PM Tom_L: i was impressed with the result
10:27 PM Tom_L: know nothing about them myself
10:27 PM rue_bed: fine nozzel = slower printing
10:27 PM Tom_L: well yeah
10:27 PM rue_bed: and usually weaker prints
10:27 PM rue_bed: I'm kinda a utility printer
10:28 PM rue_bed: big n heavy n course is ok
10:28 PM rue_bed: as long as its strong
10:28 PM rue_bed: haha, had a good one
10:28 PM rue_bed: I tore up a paper shredder for chipping prints
10:28 PM Tom_L: saw you mention that
10:28 PM rue_bed: took a while to get it going
10:29 PM rue_bed: and when I did get it going, it was shredding abs just fine
10:29 PM Tom_L: why?
10:29 PM rue_bed: but stalled on the first little piece of PLA I put in
10:29 PM Tom_L: you gonna make your own filament?
10:29 PM rue_bed: the PLA is too strong for it
10:29 PM rue_bed: I have over 1kg of scrap plastic
10:30 PM rue_bed: need to do somehting with it
10:30 PM rue_bed: even if I just cast it into sheets I'd be fine
10:30 PM rue_bed: but chipping it down is a problem
10:30 PM rue_bed: - still a problem -
10:31 PM Tom_L: that's what they used at one of my old jobs to reclaim plastic
10:31 PM Tom_L: huge shredder
10:31 PM rue_bed: yea, but it looks like I'll have to build one
10:38 PM Tom_L: was it a chip shredder or ribbon?
