01:04 AM rue_mohr: butif not, print a negitive and make one from silicone

01:07 AM rue_shop1: hmm I have nothing I could use as a plate

01:24 PM rue_shop1: heh, the z slider is 12"
01:24 PM rue_shop1: so I didn't mean for the z range to be 6" then
01:24 PM rue_shop1: er, wait, ... ow does that math work?

03:19 PM zhanx_ is now known as zhanx
04:15 PM rue_shop1: I gave myself enough overhead on this machine, but I put it in the wrong place
04:15 PM rue_shop1: it looks like I can do it tho
04:16 PM zhanx: waiting on it to cool down before I fire up things and finish hopefully the tongs
04:47 PM rue_shop1: huh, looks like 2:00 falloff is heavily related to breakfast sugar
04:53 PM zhanx: nice thing is lots of oak here, so lots of dead fall that is dry to use, and I setup a forge out of fire brick
05:15 PM zhanx: ok fire started https://imgur.com/a/YJGXJFz

05:27 PM zhanx: today is just a test anyways
05:45 PM zhanx: ok 30 minuts later the rebar is red hot
05:45 PM zhanx: but
05:45 PM zhanx: fire is too low now
05:55 PM Tom_L: add more fuel
05:56 PM zhanx: no I need to change the layout a little bit first, I don't like the air flow on it
05:56 PM Tom_L: should be a little taller
05:57 PM zhanx: gonna make it alot taller for starters
07:57 PM zhanx: I asked if there was more brick laying round so i can make it taller. 2 pallets of it that have fallen over
08:05 PM Tom_L: should be enough
08:40 PM zhanx: ok that was not fun carrying all the bricks, I know now I need 19-20 layers of bricks to get to a nice work height, which is 7 more trips
08:41 PM Tom_L: glutton for punishment ehh?
08:41 PM zhanx: well, since I am doing and the material is free, might as well do it right
08:46 PM zhanx: too dark to get a good photo :(
08:50 PM zhanx: almost got tagged by a scorpion, it hit my shooting callus
08:53 PM Tom_L: didn't know they had those down there
08:53 PM zhanx: same here
08:56 PM zhanx: crap night time pic https://imgur.com/a/4gkPYBl

08:59 PM zhanx: twice as tall as that
08:59 PM zhanx: I have lots of cement to make it right also
09:07 PM zhanx: wonder if rue sugar crashed again
09:08 PM Tom_L: he's been more off than on here lately
10:12 PM zhanx_ is now known as zhanx
11:18 PM rue_mohr: sorry
11:18 PM rue_mohr: I built a headphone amp
11:19 PM rue_mohr: I was trying to do some coding and I coulnd't get the headphones up loud enough to drown out the sound of my thinking
11:19 PM zhanx: k
11:19 PM zhanx: portland cement as mortar?
11:19 PM rue_mohr: these ones can drive hard enough to push the phones off yer head
11:19 PM rue_mohr: mortar?
11:19 PM zhanx: <zhanx> crap night time pic https://imgur.com/a/4gkPYBl
11:20 PM rue_mohr: oh gee
11:20 PM rue_mohr: I dunno
11:20 PM zhanx: gonna try it
11:21 PM rue_mohr: I keep the set of song for my mp3 player in a dir on my computer, which is good, the card was almost completely corrupt again
11:21 PM rue_mohr: THATS rewritten
11:21 PM rue_mohr: you saw the PLA adventure?
11:22 PM zhanx: yep most of it
11:22 PM rue_mohr: a lot actually happened this weekend
11:22 PM zhanx: cutting board for the flat plate you made?
11:23 PM rue_mohr: well, it was a test, I been pondering where to go with it
11:23 PM rue_mohr: and I have an idea
11:24 PM rue_mohr: if I make 1kg bars of plastic, I can make a filastruder that specifically takes the entire bar at a time
11:24 PM rue_mohr: then the whole grinding problem goes away
11:28 PM zhanx: true but then you have a heat issue with a problem of the block needed to be heated evenly as its fed
11:29 PM rue_mohr: ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/headphoneamp/
11:29 PM rue_mohr: yea, heat the whole thing at once
11:29 PM rue_mohr: and syringe extrude
11:30 PM rue_mohr: wow, almost every one of those pics is blurry
11:30 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/headphoneamp/slide.htm
11:31 PM zhanx: not bad for quick work
11:32 PM rue_mohr: it wasn't meant to be too pretty, I'd have done things different if I'd been more into it
11:46 PM rue_mohr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm_8xkX6a7g&feature=youtu.be
11:46 PM rue_mohr: see that one?
11:47 PM rue_mohr: need to sort it out a bit yet
