12:06 AM rue_mohr: hmm
12:18 AM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/Untitled.png
12:18 AM rue_mohr: kinda zzzzz
12:18 AM rue_mohr: hah, I could do half that on the lathe
12:19 AM rue_mohr: I have some HDPE I'll make it from
12:20 AM rue_mohr: I keep bumping my nose into "a cnc lathe would be nice" but for manually loading material
12:20 AM rue_mohr: maybe I should do it anyhow
12:20 AM rue_mohr: I dont know I'd use my real lathe
12:20 AM rue_mohr: a kjiggered one would do fine
05:01 AM Tom_L: that groove looks a little wide?
08:09 AM rue_bed: its sch 40 pvc
08:45 AM rue_mohr: as I kept designing it, it got more and more pointless
08:46 AM rue_mohr: its nice, but I can also just thread a 1/4" hole in the end of a pipe cap
08:46 AM rue_mohr: so, the focus is on making a piston that seals
09:11 AM rue_mohr: cylinder material is an interesting topic too
09:11 AM rue_mohr: needs to be extruded
09:11 AM rue_mohr: so aluminum, plastic, and brass
09:12 AM rue_mohr: I'm going to plastic cause its an easy grab
09:12 AM rue_mohr: but
09:12 AM rue_mohr: the ID doesn't seem too consistent
09:12 AM rue_mohr: and, I have an idea on that,
09:12 AM rue_mohr: if I heat it up, inflate it a bit, then shrink it around something smooth
09:13 AM rue_mohr: brass has its issues, almost all brass pipe fittings have a different ID
09:13 AM rue_mohr: I'd like to cough up a design I can make a dozen of without a fight
09:57 AM rue_shop3: Rue get home early depotite cheque
06:01 PM rue_mohr: done!
06:55 PM Tom_L: trash night
06:58 PM rue_mohr: heh its fritday
06:58 PM rue_mohr: every 2ns friday, but thisone
07:42 PM Tom_L: so what to do on a cloudy rainy wednesday evening...
08:00 PM aandrew: holy crap I'm exhausted
08:32 PM Tom_L: there's anap for that
09:53 PM rue_mohr: ok, I'm awake
09:53 PM rue_mohr: oh I'm supposed to write up that bill before I do anything
09:53 PM rue_mohr: uuuugh
09:55 PM Tom_L: i'm good for maybe 30 min
09:56 PM Tom_L: not that good at best
09:57 PM Tom_L: i'm trying to remember back when we did the scale for my spindle rpm
09:57 PM rue_mohr: need to work out a piston
09:57 PM Tom_L: what and where the parameters were
09:57 PM Tom_L: in the vfd or in the config file
09:58 PM Tom_L: Speed Scale Factor 870 may have been it
09:58 PM Tom_L: in the vfd
09:59 PM Tom_L: no
09:59 PM Tom_L: Rated Speed Setting 5934
09:59 PM Tom_L: i remember it was an off the wall number
09:59 PM rue_mohr: ?
10:34 PM rue_mohr: aaaah
10:35 PM rue_mohr: I can tell how this is going to go
10:35 PM rue_mohr: it'll be 8 hours till the end of the universe and I'll need 20 hours to finish trying everything out
10:36 PM rue_mohr: today I want to laninate a new peice of wood, make a compressor for making teflon piston seals, and add a piston rod to that cylinder.
10:40 PM Tom_L: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlhN7ADpKds&list=PLlCUoEDzAPseIypFKY-vfEOqImyo249Cb&index=1&t=135s&ab_channel=w2aew
10:41 PM Tom_L: probably nothing new for you
10:43 PM rue_mohr: heh, looks like your having fun...
10:43 PM rue_mohr: what you changing?
10:43 PM Tom_L: nothing
10:43 PM rue_mohr: ok...
10:43 PM Tom_L: someone else was trying to get a spindle going
10:43 PM rue_mohr: oh
10:43 PM rue_mohr: you took notes didn't ya?
10:43 PM Tom_L: thought it might interest you
10:44 PM Tom_L: no but i know who to call :)
10:48 PM * Tom_L blows the candle out and goes to sleep
10:52 PM rue_mohr: damnit
10:52 PM rue_mohr: I tripped the bad pasword limit trying to send email
10:53 PM rue_mohr: cant send the invoice :)
11:45 PM rue_shop3: ok I got the new lamination made
11:45 PM rue_shop3: laninate a new peice of wood
11:45 PM rue_shop3: make a compressor for making teflon piston seals
11:46 PM rue_shop3: add a piston rod to that cylinder
11:46 PM rue_shop3: and set up a cnc job for the new cylinder end
11:46 PM rue_shop3: which is silly, cause I really can just use a pipe cap
