11:02 PM rue_mohr: something is odd with the 3d printed parts
11:02 PM Tom_L: scale off?
11:02 PM rue_mohr: no, the size tho
11:03 PM rue_mohr: maybe I need to do a backlash check
11:03 PM rue_mohr: A7 doens't fit in the pipe like it should be
11:03 PM rue_mohr: I might rebuild the model
11:04 PM rue_mohr: corrys radii were off
11:05 PM Tom_L: pipe the same?
11:05 PM rue_mohr: yup

11:18 PM rue_mohr: not good timing for random issues, trying hard to keep up
11:18 PM rue_mohr: sean was here today
11:18 PM rue_mohr: I dont know what he got done, I cant find much
11:18 PM rue_mohr: we have a pile of unfilled orders
11:21 PM Tom_L: orders is good
11:21 PM rue_mohr: not filling them is bad
11:21 PM rue_mohr: we cant keep up
11:21 PM Tom_L: why?
11:22 PM Tom_L: lacking parts?
11:22 PM rue_mohr: sean can only work part of 1 day a week beacuse of a situation thats got his brother completely disabled
11:22 PM Tom_L: lacking time?
11:22 PM rue_mohr: I cant contribute as much time as is needed riht nowo
11:22 PM Tom_L: i can't either. i'm not there
11:23 PM Tom_L: so assembly is the bottleneck
11:23 PM rue_mohr: right now were short on
11:23 PM rue_mohr: A2 and A7
11:23 PM rue_mohr: I just redesigned A2
11:24 PM Tom_L: both plastic parts
11:24 PM rue_mohr: it looked ok
11:24 PM Tom_L: why the redesign?
11:24 PM rue_mohr: but the A7 are requiring a lot of extra hand work cause their out
11:24 PM rue_mohr: well, as design mod
11:24 PM rue_mohr: cause of the screws splitting them
11:24 PM Tom_L: yeah
11:24 PM rue_mohr: and the mods to A9
11:24 PM rue_mohr: for the new cans
11:25 PM rue_mohr: I built a new jig to make A13
11:25 PM Tom_L: A2 needed changed because of A9?
11:25 PM rue_mohr: which helps with one of the hard parts
11:25 PM rue_mohr: no, A2 change is to prevent being split by screws
11:25 PM rue_mohr: change to a nut and a machine screw
11:25 PM Tom_L: ok i thought it was the handle that split
11:25 PM Tom_L: i remember that
11:25 PM rue_mohr: had to make a pocket for the nut and open up the hole for the machine screw
11:26 PM rue_mohr: A2 is handle
11:26 PM Tom_L: oh that's right
11:26 PM Tom_L: better swedge the end of the screw so it doesn't back out under use
11:27 PM rue_mohr: twice I'v had to make a batch of A17, a brass pin that goes into A12
11:27 PM rue_mohr: it goes into a blind pocket
11:27 PM Tom_L: yeah
11:27 PM rue_mohr: not the pin, the handle screw
11:28 PM rue_mohr: the note I found from last week, sean said we need 11 more A7 and 9 more A2
11:28 PM rue_mohr: printing A2 as fast as I can
11:29 PM Tom_L: printers holding up?
11:30 PM rue_mohr: yup
11:30 PM Tom_L: do you print more than one at once?
11:30 PM rue_mohr: yup
11:30 PM rue_mohr: we have two spools
11:31 PM Tom_L: don't run out of plastic :)
11:34 PM rue_mohr: ok, uh, I dont know how long I'm awake for
11:35 PM rue_mohr: I need to try to powerhouse some sprayers
11:35 PM rue_mohr: and I need to bill some stuff out\
11:36 PM rue_mohr: I cant find deisgn files for A7 I think Jester did them in solidworks
11:38 PM rue_mohr: thats odd, sean said he could do wed, its tues today
11:38 PM rue_mohr: I wonder if that change
11:38 PM rue_mohr: d
11:39 PM Tom_L: nope i never had A7
11:40 PM rue_mohr: A2 and A7 were trickey
11:40 PM rue_mohr: I think we had to do them in solidworks
11:40 PM Tom_L: i have a version of A2
11:40 PM rue_mohr: mostly A2,
11:41 PM Tom_L: did you send me a A7 part?
11:41 PM Tom_L: i don't remember
11:41 PM rue_mohr: I think so, or I sent you the 3" A2
11:42 PM Tom_L: it was short
11:42 PM rue_mohr: the #" handle allows for a short assembly thats almost the same
11:42 PM rue_mohr: 3"
11:42 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/Can_holder_assy.jpg
11:42 PM Tom_L: nope
11:42 PM Tom_L: wait.. what's the black part underneath?
11:42 PM rue_mohr: oh
11:42 PM rue_mohr: thats a 6"
11:43 PM rue_mohr: so yea that black part is A7
11:43 PM Tom_L: you have a good one to print?
11:44 PM rue_mohr: See how A7 has a round end that fits into A5
11:44 PM rue_mohr: ?
11:44 PM rue_mohr: behind the slot?
11:44 PM rue_mohr: thats where the problem is right now, its printing large and wont fit int hte pipe
11:44 PM Tom_L: ahh
11:45 PM Tom_L: i should go sleep
11:45 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna try rotating the part on the printer to see if its backlash
