03:52 AM rue_mohr: :) cast project box, its crazy.
03:52 AM rue_mohr: CNCd the hole
03:52 AM rue_mohr: I should probably cnc a press-fit lexan window for it
04:12 AM zhanx: well i am working tomorrow
06:02 AM Tom_L: box turned out good
01:32 PM rue_mohr: yea, THICK and chunkey :S
02:18 PM rue_shop1: I wonder if I can get good at making those
02:19 PM rue_shop1: being able to spin off a casting for a project box is kinda neat
05:04 PM rue_shop3: ok, angle based slider
05:56 PM rue_shop3: with all the sled material, this is rather large
05:56 PM rue_shop3: but it only uses 5/8" of the 2" I have available
08:12 PM zhanx: the thick and chunky look is great tho
08:14 PM Tom_L: i'd like to see one of you try that method in the how it's made video
08:15 PM Tom_L: coat the mold with the slurry then apply the sand and harden it
08:15 PM Tom_L: you'd need a kiln though
08:16 PM rue_mohr: have a small one
08:16 PM Tom_L: i think the casting would come out with a nice smooth finish
08:16 PM rue_mohr: +- exploding
08:17 PM Tom_L: but you'd have to pour out the original plastic molded part or wax etc
08:17 PM rue_mohr: its important for the surface of the investment material to be polous
08:17 PM rue_mohr: porous
08:17 PM rue_mohr: or the gasses cant get out
08:17 PM rue_mohr: gas and steam
08:17 PM Tom_L: they have exit paths in it
08:17 PM rue_mohr: yup
08:18 PM Tom_L: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-79.45,26.57,3000/loc=-79.279,26.961
08:19 PM Tom_L: click on the 'earth' button and you can see different things
08:20 PM Tom_L: also the km/h can change to suit your preference
08:21 PM zhanx: Tom_L, thats like windy.com
08:22 PM Tom_L: and you can click on the little circle to move the data sample
08:25 PM Tom_L: i kinda like the globe layout
08:31 PM zhanx: would make a cool desktop

09:58 PM rue_mohr: various compromises
09:58 PM zhanx: k
09:59 PM zhanx: wip so its kind of a triangle
09:59 PM rue_mohr: the middle of the sandwhich is what slides
09:59 PM rue_mohr: nylon bushed
09:59 PM rue_mohr: bit thick, but I cant find betterpeices
10:00 PM rue_mohr: I think I'll use pins in the metal bits to keep them in place
10:00 PM zhanx: might help
10:08 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, sending casper to robotics, he has an avr question
10:32 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, polish the slides so it works better
10:32 PM Tom_L: the metal
11:24 PM rue_mohr: you guys hear those instructables have like 3200 views?
11:57 PM zhanx: yep
