01:00 PM rue_mohr: This week, we introduced a COVID-19 Relief Fund to help our residential customers who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19.
01:00 PM rue_mohr: The Relief Fund delivers support to you now, when you need it most
01:00 PM rue_mohr: If you've lost your job or income, the Relief Fund provides you with a credit to your account to reduce your bill.
01:00 PM rue_mohr: The credit will be equal to three times your average monthly bill.
01:00 PM rue_mohr: You will not have to pay this back.
01:00 PM rue_mohr: The application window opens next week and you can apply until June 30, 2020.
01:00 PM rue_mohr: "
01:01 PM rue_mohr: sounds like if you start a grow-op, you may need to pay some for your hydro bill
01:02 PM rue_mohr: (electricity)
01:02 PM rue_mohr: ShopMoon, MiniBat key
01:02 PM rue_mohr: hey
01:18 PM pinkmutt: hello!
01:46 PM polprog: sup rue_mohr
02:00 PM rue_mohr: trying to be awake
02:00 PM rue_mohr: I picked up the stuff for the hot bed for the printer I'm modifying to print face shields
02:40 PM polprog: oh, i read the backlog
02:40 PM polprog: no, i was away working today
02:41 PM polprog: ok, now i wanna know about mold test page
02:44 PM Tom_L: you saw the mold?
02:44 PM polprog: no
02:45 PM Tom_L: rue makes paint sprayer holders and wanted to make a mold for the trigger. i machined a few but also made a mold for him to make them from aluminum
02:45 PM polprog: aaah mold for molding
02:45 PM polprog: lol ok. i thought you mean mold as in the living thing...
02:46 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/A3/Mold_Rev2/Final_mold3.jpg
02:46 PM polprog: i think i saw that. I was planning to make my own casting sand
02:46 PM Tom_L: steel mold
02:47 PM Tom_L: the extra pockets are for heat disapation
02:48 PM polprog: my only aluminum melting endeavors shown that i need borax or other flux
02:48 PM Tom_L: yeah
02:49 PM polprog: grandfather used to design arc furnances
02:49 PM polprog: for smelting
02:49 PM polprog: i have to get borax.
02:49 PM polprog: i was smelting in a brick chimney like kiln, powered by pine wood
02:49 PM Tom_L: grocery store
02:50 PM polprog: thats a summer project, if the virus goes away by summer
04:57 PM polprog: https://polprog.net/blog/cradleservo/
04:57 PM polprog: more like a photo album than a blog post
04:57 PM polprog: the 5 nanos generator is more suitable. and thyristor oscillators
04:57 PM polprog: ill link that on the front page later
05:10 PM rue_shop2: ok, the heated bed can hold 110c at a duty of about 26%
05:11 PM rue_shop2: I need to move around my zeros and see if my extruder can do 250
05:12 PM polprog: reminds me we still havent fixed the printer at the uni lab
05:13 PM rue_mohr: whats wrong with it?
05:13 PM polprog: i think weve established that the nozzle is too cold for some reason.. even replaced the PTC
05:14 PM polprog: the issue is that the print get's corrupted after several layers
05:14 PM polprog: the filament stops bonding with itself. no mechanical rigidity
05:14 PM rue_mohr: yea, too cold
05:14 PM rue_mohr: pla?
05:14 PM polprog: confirmed on FLIR the nozzle tip is 100C onlt
05:15 PM polprog: yeah, i think pla
05:15 PM rue_mohr: dial it up till just below were it smells sweet
05:15 PM polprog: its a prusa mk3 or something
05:15 PM polprog: the controller reports correct temp iirc
05:15 PM rue_mohr: screw the numbers, they lie
05:15 PM polprog: 150 something
05:15 PM rue_mohr: screw the numbers, they lie
05:16 PM polprog: ok. ill keep that in mind when the corona is over...
05:16 PM rue_mohr: dial it up till it smells sweet then back it down
05:16 PM polprog: it would be nice to get that working
05:16 PM polprog: not having used a 3d printer before doesnt help lol
05:17 PM rue_mohr: build one
05:17 PM rue_mohr: thne you wioll know weverything
05:17 PM polprog: well, ive got 1 of 3 axes working...
05:17 PM rue_mohr: no build an i2
05:17 PM rue_mohr: dont custom it for the first pass
05:18 PM polprog: my biggest issue with them is lack of room space, and the smell
05:18 PM polprog: having a lab in the bedroom doesnt help, no matter how many shelves i make
05:22 PM rue_mohr: pla doesn't smell
05:22 PM rue_mohr: unless its too hot
05:22 PM polprog: ill take your word for it. still, not enough space :D
05:39 PM rue_mohr: you can 3d print sideways on a wall
05:39 PM rue_mohr: the part IS stuck to the bed
05:39 PM rue_mohr: you just have to mind that the support/bridges behave differently
06:22 PM Tom_L: hmm
07:04 PM rue_mohr: for my editor, I need a new routine to collect the keyboard escape codes
07:07 PM rue_mohr: there are 8 groups of code types that come back from the keybaord
07:07 PM rue_mohr: and I'm talking the interpreted ones
07:07 PM rue_mohr: not the make/break codes
07:31 PM Tom_L: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascript/javascript-keycodes/
07:31 PM Tom_L: tester tool
08:08 PM rue_mohr: I got a command line one
08:09 PM rue_mohr: but I need to write some code to collect them up and match them to what I want
08:09 PM rue_mohr: the authors code for that editor is horrid
08:09 PM rue_mohr: all sorts of leaks and and execeptions
08:09 PM rue_mohr: and and?

08:15 PM rue_mohr: moon came around
08:15 PM rue_mohr: should see him sooner
08:16 PM rue_mohr: he's been working on some code to generate random bitmaps
08:35 PM rue_mohr: if I'm gonna do that welding I better get to it
08:35 PM rue_mohr: I need to make a state machine for collecting escape codes... pffff
08:36 PM rue_mohr: turns out the only reason the authors code works is becasue of its leaks
08:37 PM Tom_L: haha
08:37 PM rue_mohr: its such awefull code tom, Its depressing
08:38 PM rue_mohr: but it works and mine doesn't
08:38 PM rue_mohr: which is more depressing
08:44 PM rue_mohr: awe, I gotta rewrite another layer of the orig code

08:51 PM rue_mohr: doesn't need to be big
08:51 PM zhanx: ok the u frame is fine
08:51 PM rue_mohr: I recon 12V 8Ah will run fine for a day
08:51 PM zhanx: but the cross bars are bad
08:51 PM rue_mohr: k
08:52 PM rue_mohr: even if their bowed out like that seems to have?

08:52 PM rue_mohr: and maybe why
08:52 PM zhanx: its better for an air pad on the u frame
