12:49 AM rue_mohr: and my cat dissapeared
05:57 PM zhanx: why does the left z axis always come loose
05:57 PM zhanx: ugh
06:42 PM rue_mohr: what kinda coupler you using?
06:42 PM zhanx: whatever came with it with tubing and hot gun
06:46 PM rue_mohr: oh, you want tubing and a clamp
06:46 PM rue_mohr: zipties are border line
06:47 PM zhanx: yea i need to redo it
06:47 PM rue_mohr: well take a pic!
06:47 PM zhanx: it hasn't changed since last time you saw it but ok
06:49 PM rue_mohr: yea like I remember
06:49 PM rue_mohr: hows your internet doing?
06:49 PM rue_mohr: you seem to drop out all the time
06:50 PM zhanx: its cell still so yea
06:50 PM zhanx: times out if i am not using it
06:50 PM rue_mohr: wasn't the plan fiber?
06:51 PM zhanx: that is the plan
06:51 PM rue_mohr: get a job with them as an installer for long enough to ge yours in and quit
06:51 PM rue_mohr: I think your in a position to do it
06:52 PM rue_mohr: (heck if I really know tho)
06:53 PM zhanx: https://imgur.com/a/foMCLpi
06:54 PM zhanx: true
06:58 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, that photo is for you
06:58 PM rue_mohr: no no no no
06:58 PM rue_mohr: never use those damn printed things
06:58 PM rue_mohr: use pipe
06:59 PM rue_mohr: the clear flexibe stuff
06:59 PM zhanx: been using that damn thing like a year
06:59 PM rue_mohr: and ditch those huge rods, use like 10-24 or M5
06:59 PM rue_mohr: their pulling your whole cariage out
06:59 PM rue_mohr: in circles
07:00 PM rue_mohr: thats why you will have a zigzag in the walls of your prints, that when you put up to the Z thread, perfectly matches it
07:00 PM zhanx: k
07:01 PM zhanx: I can live with that for now, making a better printer anyways
07:01 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1140079.jpg
07:01 PM rue_mohr: gee those new scripts are nice
07:01 PM zhanx: i bet
07:02 PM rue_mohr: zipties aren't ideal, but will often mostly hold for quite a while
07:02 PM zhanx: ok I have the tube for that, will search up some rod
07:02 PM rue_mohr: I needed to rough up the motor shaft a bit
07:02 PM zhanx: I have a ziptie gun so that will help
07:02 PM rue_mohr: 10-24 is good
07:02 PM rue_mohr: you need to redo the z step math
07:02 PM zhanx: yep
07:02 PM rue_mohr: and I made nut adapters
07:03 PM rue_mohr: you want the printable adapters? captured nut
07:03 PM zhanx: I remind you later on that, and shoot me the adapters
07:03 PM rue_mohr: you print one more than you need, and hit pause when it starts bridging the first one
07:03 PM rue_mohr: put in the nuts and let it finish
07:04 PM zhanx: k
07:05 PM zhanx: will relevel the z axis later, tired of messing with it
07:11 PM rue_mohr: its slipping
07:11 PM rue_mohr: its litterally falling off the motor
07:11 PM zhanx: that i know
07:13 PM rue_mohr: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3910886
07:14 PM zhanx: got it
07:16 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna fall sleep
07:16 PM rue_mohr: so I'm gonna go to bed so I wont be numb when I wake up
07:16 PM zhanx: k
07:16 PM rue_mohr: have to go to work tommorow
07:16 PM zhanx: later, i am gonna work on the models for the next printer
07:17 PM rue_mohr: heh
07:17 PM rue_mohr: if you get too deep, you will never finish it
07:17 PM zhanx: not getting to deep
07:17 PM zhanx: very basic for a reason
07:17 PM rue_mohr: I might start going back on my first printer with the upgrades
07:17 PM rue_mohr: there are a lot of them
07:18 PM zhanx: yea i have a few done to mine right now also
07:18 PM rue_mohr: oh yea
07:18 PM rue_mohr: did you see the shelter on the shop?
07:19 PM zhanx: only the foundations
07:19 PM rue_mohr: oh god
07:19 PM rue_mohr: prod me more eh?
07:19 PM zhanx: we both have been busy lately
07:20 PM rue_mohr: I'v not been paying as much irc as I should
07:20 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1140045.jpg
07:20 PM zhanx: get a lot more down now that I run in the morning and limit my time up at night to 10 pm
07:20 PM rue_mohr: its so dead across all the channels
07:21 PM zhanx: oh nice
07:21 PM rue_mohr: I got over 500 twitter followers, and I didn't have to pay any of them
07:21 PM zhanx: twitter is cancer from what i have seen but good for you
07:21 PM zhanx: I like that shelter
07:21 PM rue_mohr: I need to redo the 3 2x4 4 lamp fixtures I got
07:21 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, its a lot of welding
07:21 PM zhanx: yep
07:22 PM rue_mohr: 5/8" rebar and 1/2" rebar webbing
07:22 PM rue_mohr: 80-100 lbs ea
07:22 PM rue_mohr: the roofing is ~200lbs
07:22 PM zhanx: after the 3d printer is done, I am getting a welder
07:22 PM rue_mohr: 1" uprights
07:22 PM zhanx: its rebars so watch the winds
07:22 PM rue_mohr: welded into 1.25" floor flanges (slightly bad idea, that cast iron is like freaking wax)
07:23 PM zhanx: that stuff has about zero quality control
07:23 PM rue_mohr: their only heavy tacks
07:23 PM rue_mohr: I walked across it a few times spanned 17 feet, and it didn't move
07:23 PM rue_mohr: so I just went with it
07:23 PM zhanx: the wind makes you look like a baby also
07:24 PM rue_mohr: I need to ties to the shop, for the left/right stability
07:24 PM rue_mohr: I think it'll be ok
07:24 PM zhanx: time will tell that is all you can do
07:24 PM rue_mohr: yep
07:25 PM zhanx: but i like it and it works so run with it
07:26 PM rue_bed: the supply store was out of 5000k, so the lights wont be finished till mid next week
07:27 PM rue_bed: I got ballasts and cord ends
07:27 PM rue_bed: I'm going to plug-chain them
07:28 PM zhanx: I was bored, changed the thermo on the print head, its now with in 1c vs the old one was 14c out
07:29 PM rue_bed: but, firmware
07:29 PM zhanx: true but I had it
07:29 PM rue_bed: I dont know how to adjust the firmware
07:29 PM rue_bed: I wnat to know
07:29 PM rue_bed: I dont care if its out tho
07:29 PM zhanx: i recompile it
07:30 PM rue_bed: I just need to know what number makes it the right temp
07:30 PM zhanx: M303 E0 S200 C8
07:31 PM zhanx: that is the command to autotune it
07:32 PM zhanx: but the adjustment is in temperature.cpp
08:54 PM rue_bed: yea, iirc there isn't an offset command for temp
08:54 PM rue_bed: there shoudl be an offset and scape
08:54 PM rue_bed: scale
08:54 PM rue_bed: half hour nap eh?

09:05 PM zhanx: at spacex
09:08 PM rue_mohr: ok, I slept on my remote
09:09 PM rue_mohr: and I didn't code the remote to go to sleep after it transmitted its code, so the battery is flat
09:09 PM zhanx: leveled my z
09:09 PM zhanx: didn't print yet
09:09 PM tiwake: what the crap
09:09 PM tiwake: lol
09:09 PM * rue_mohr ads z to the things z has leveled
09:09 PM zhanx: need to print to finish the z level
09:10 PM zhanx: I am like .1 out left to cube so far
09:10 PM tiwake: maybe I'll build a car ECU at some point
09:10 PM tiwake: or try to
09:10 PM zhanx: tiwake, good luck
09:10 PM tiwake: when I get done, vow to never do it again
09:11 PM tiwake: then three years later do something similar
09:11 PM tiwake: I know how projects like that go... lol
09:11 PM tiwake: forget how horrible it was to make the thing after a couple years, and think about how nice the end result was
09:12 PM zhanx: cat tax, its cold out the barn cats are all at my door
09:12 PM tiwake: shoot them with a paintball gun
09:12 PM zhanx: tiwake, did it go from 95 to 52 there in one day also?
09:12 PM tiwake: not 95
09:12 PM tiwake: but yeah
09:12 PM tiwake: 85-90
09:13 PM rue_mohr: I helped a guy make an ecu
09:13 PM tiwake: rue_mohr: how did that go?
09:13 PM rue_mohr: here too, the temp fell like a rock
09:13 PM rue_mohr: I have a thermal log somewhere to prove it
09:14 PM tiwake: at some point I want to build something like a cobra kit car...
09:14 PM rue_mohr: tiwake, he modified it from megaspark
09:14 PM rue_mohr: LOTS
09:15 PM rue_mohr: He started one for a V10, I built him a state machine to work out the crank angle
09:15 PM rue_mohr: but he had to build a new house, and hasn't worked on it
09:35 PM tiwake: what about this? https://rusefi.com/
09:36 PM zhanx: bookmarked to look into

09:40 PM rue_mohr: https://hackaday.com/2019/07/23/vacuum-sputtering-with-a-homemade-magnetron/
09:40 PM tiwake: zhanx: anyway, does that sorta answer your question for the kinds of things I (eventually) want to do with microcontrollers?
09:40 PM zhanx: tiwake, yes
09:41 PM tiwake: do you have suggestions for things I should get? heh
09:41 PM rue_mohr: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2108819 < z was it that one?
