01:20 AM rue_mohr: ok I got all the placeholders for numbers filled in
01:25 AM rue_mohr: now I need to do images
04:17 AM rue_mohr: ok, I think I'm ready to post it :S
04:17 AM rue_mohr: going over it 3 times should have been enough.
04:19 AM zhanx: link me
04:43 AM rue_shop1: I cant find it...
04:43 AM rue_shop1: :)
04:46 AM rue_mohr: https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Fabrication-Assistant/
04:48 AM zhanx: 4 door hinges
04:48 AM zhanx: 3x 4 inch door hinges
04:51 AM zhanx: yep typo rue_mohr
04:53 AM zhanx: one per leg and one wrist will be WheRE are THeY all At?
04:59 AM rue_mohr: I'm still trying to work out if its actaully in the competition
04:59 AM rue_mohr: the initial list is just kinda silly
05:06 AM rue_mohr: (x3) 4 inch door hinges
05:06 AM rue_mohr: I tried to do the materials for each step
05:06 AM rue_mohr: its a bit +-
05:06 AM zhanx: 4 are needed, just keep that in mind
05:07 AM rue_mohr: it asks for the next on in the wrist step
05:08 AM zhanx: 7th grade education level keep that in mind
05:08 AM rue_mohr: I'm more concerned about it being followable
05:08 AM rue_mohr: even if nobody ever makes one
05:09 AM rue_mohr: maybe that first list should be just tools
05:14 AM rue_mohr: writing that was sure a lot of work tho
05:15 AM rue_mohr: geez
05:16 AM rue_mohr: I'm going to assume that they have to check the contest entries before their valid
05:20 AM Tom_L: must be on vacation
05:22 AM rue_mohr: all week
05:25 AM rue_mohr: so, for the z axis on the cnc
05:25 AM rue_mohr: my plan is to use a 12" rail guide, mounted to the frame, and put the router on rails that are 18" long and extend down with the router
05:26 AM rue_mohr: I'm pretty sure this means using rails larger than 5/8"
05:26 AM rue_mohr: but I only have 2" thickness to do it in
05:27 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Column_Mill_VMC.jpg
05:27 AM Tom_L: make one like that
05:27 AM rue_mohr: this is... you... but
05:27 AM Tom_L: only 6" taller
05:27 AM rue_mohr: did you see the 2hp router I got?
05:28 AM Tom_L: nope
05:28 AM Tom_L: leadshine
05:28 AM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/cnc6/p1130242.jpg
05:28 AM Tom_L: instead of gecko)
05:28 AM rue_mohr: arg I need to update the iamges
05:28 AM Tom_L: you did ask ^^
05:29 AM rue_mohr: oh the wood lathe stuff arrived today
05:29 AM rue_mohr: :)
05:29 AM Tom_L: get rid of their holder and make your own
05:30 AM Tom_L: give you more room that way
05:30 AM rue_mohr: mountint it by the base cause its a standard thing if I need to replace the router later
05:31 AM rue_mohr: stand
05:31 AM rue_mohr: by
05:31 AM rue_mohr: why are you all awake!??!?!
05:31 AM Tom_L: you'll build a new one by then
05:31 AM Tom_L: i get up now
05:32 AM Tom_L: or half an hour earlier
05:32 AM Tom_L: and 2.5 hrs earlier
05:32 AM rue_mohr: 4am?
05:32 AM Tom_L: 5 here
05:32 AM Tom_L: 3 to make sure my kid gets up

05:35 AM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/cnc6/p1130138.jpg
05:36 AM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/cnc6/p1130614.jpg
05:36 AM Tom_L: that's what i don't get about all those chinese mills too
05:36 AM rue_mohr: that peice of small angle with the large yellow clamp was intended to be part of the slider
05:36 AM rue_mohr: that idea isn't going to work
05:36 AM Tom_L: they build a nice work area then a itty bitty z
05:37 AM rue_mohr: 6" is lots for what this is doing
05:37 AM Tom_L: nobody thinks in 3d
05:37 AM rue_mohr: this is primarily for sheet cutouts
05:37 AM Tom_L: yeah but on a regular one they get it and then decide they want to put tools in it or a vise etc etc
05:38 AM Tom_L: and realize they'll be cutting below the table if they do
05:38 AM Tom_L: yours is 2.5d then basically
05:38 AM rue_mohr: yes
05:38 AM Tom_L: limiting your work pieces
05:39 AM rue_mohr: I'v never used much Z on my machines
05:39 AM Tom_L: i wish i could go in my kids work once
05:39 AM rue_mohr: it comes up if I need to stick a vise under the cutter
05:39 AM Tom_L: they've got some 60' gantrys etc
05:39 AM Tom_L: huge machines
05:39 AM rue_mohr: honestly
05:40 AM rue_mohr: I have a 2hp router with a 1/2" collette
05:40 AM rue_mohr: wtf can I do with even 6"?
05:40 AM Tom_L: smile at it and be proud :)
05:40 AM Tom_L: you need more than that
05:40 AM rue_mohr: if I stick a 6" long cutter on that, it'll just end up in someones forehead, even at minimim speed
05:41 AM Tom_L: https://www.f-zimmermann.com/us/stock-machines-us/
05:41 AM rue_mohr: cats acting funny
05:41 AM rue_mohr: if it had, yea

05:41 AM rue_mohr: a tilt axis like that
05:42 AM rue_mohr: but its an xyz
05:42 AM Tom_L: i wish i had the software to program one
05:42 AM Tom_L: xyzac
05:42 AM rue_mohr: no I mean mine here

04:09 PM rue_mohr: "
04:09 PM rue_mohr:

04:09 PM rue_mohr: Your The Fabrication Assistant project was just featured by one of our editors. Look for it in the category.
04:09 PM rue_mohr: Being featured means we think you are awesome. It also means that we are giving you a free 3 month Premium Membership that you can keep for yourself or give to a friend."
04:09 PM rue_mohr: uh, I wonder if a premium instructables account *means* anything
04:09 PM rue_mohr: free vs free, right?
04:10 PM rue_mohr: https://github.com/emilyvelasco/speedometer
04:10 PM rue_mohr: ^ cant google that
05:04 PM Tom_L: https://magazine.caltech.edu/post/socaltech-emily-velasco
05:04 PM Tom_L: sounds just like you only female
05:08 PM rue_mohr: oen of the few people in the world making stuff like we do
05:08 PM Tom_L: same one as github i presume
05:09 PM rue_mohr: yea, there is another fellow of interest
05:11 PM rue_mohr: https://twitter.com/solo_david78
05:12 PM rue_mohr: has about 3 topic threads running with a wide range of content
05:12 PM rue_mohr: it can be laborious to wade thru stuff sometimes and find the good things
05:16 PM rue_mohr: hahah, I'm trying to not do inside stuff
05:16 PM rue_mohr: so I'm sitting at the computer designing 3d objects
05:24 PM rue_mohr: ok done
07:51 PM Tom_L: :)
09:11 PM rue_shop1: https://github.com/NicoHood/PinChangeInterrupt/blob/master/examples/PinChangeInterrupt_Led/PinChangeInterrupt_Led.ino
09:11 PM rue_shop1: got some stuff cleaned up outside
09:12 PM rue_shop1: there were some visitors
09:56 PM Tom_L: i did pin change on a regular avr
09:57 PM Tom_L: looks all gooped up there
09:59 PM rue_shop1: arduinoized
09:59 PM rue_shop1: I'v done lots of pin change stuff
09:59 PM rue_shop1: it would be easy for me to just do this C
09:59 PM rue_shop1: I'm trying to work with the person doing it who is in the ardino world
10:06 PM rue_shop1: awe, I'm getting tired
10:33 PM Tom_L: so you too have stepped off into the abyss!
10:34 PM zhanx: cool good job rue
10:34 PM Tom_L: the instructable?
10:34 PM Tom_L: yeah
10:49 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, internet soon right?
10:50 PM rue_mohr: you should get a job with them, install your internet, and quit
10:50 PM zhanx: lol
10:50 PM zhanx: yes tomorrow
10:51 PM zhanx: should have time tomorrow to pick it up after i get done with the CCTV system I am installing
10:55 PM rue_mohr: 1000 feet of fiber optic cable, 4 tool-free fiber ends, 1 fiber modem, 1 highly questionable router, and a port assignment for the box on the pole?
10:58 PM zhanx: something like that
11:01 PM rue_mohr: well, hmm I have the woodworking drive for the lathe now
11:01 PM rue_mohr: I should try that out
11:01 PM rue_mohr: maybe on the weekend
11:01 PM rue_mohr: I have a few things to take care of tommorow
11:01 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, I want to show your mold to the local cnc guy, he's interested in things
11:02 PM rue_mohr: big shop, he kinda just makes tops and sells them online
11:48 PM rue_bed: so, if I'm cantalevering a router 6" off a beam
11:48 PM rue_bed: how large should I make the beam
11:49 PM rue_bed: right now I'v got dual 5/8" rods
11:49 PM zhanx: weight, material?
11:49 PM rue_bed: that red router for the cnc
11:49 PM zhanx: I beam possible?
11:49 PM rue_bed: it needs to extend down 6" from the gantry
11:50 PM rue_bed: maybe dual 1.5" angle iron
11:50 PM rue_bed: dunno how to actuate it tho
11:50 PM rue_bed: bearings
11:51 PM rue_bed: bushings are ok, it'll probably be leadscrew drive
11:51 PM zhanx: triangles
11:52 PM rue_bed: close the angle into a triangle?
11:52 PM zhanx: yep
11:52 PM rue_bed: and maybe nylon bush block it
11:53 PM rue_bed: hmm, then I can drift the other side ok
11:53 PM rue_bed: k
11:53 PM rue_bed: I wonder if I can pull it off within 2"
11:54 PM rue_bed: bushing blocks dont ahve to be thick
11:54 PM zhanx: slits in the triangle to the mount, threaded rod inside moving the head, bearings on the outside
11:55 PM rue_bed: friction is ok
11:55 PM zhanx: then the z axis can be one unit
11:55 PM rue_bed: usually tigher too
11:55 PM zhanx: weld threaded rod to the back to mount it
11:58 PM rue_bed: I think I'd need a drawing to hear you cleraly
11:58 PM zhanx: k
11:58 PM zhanx: paint work?
