12:52 AM rue_shop3: Tom_L, there is about 3/4" of meat on the nozzle
01:01 AM rue_shop3: I think its enough to machine back, leave a small port at the top, insert a ball and spring, then insert a threaded brass pipe fitting
01:01 AM rue_shop3: but
01:01 AM rue_shop3: I'm worried about there being enough heat at the top
01:01 AM rue_shop3: tip
02:28 AM Tom_L: brass will conduct the heat better than steel i think
02:31 AM Tom_L: alum would be better but could gauld in the steel
02:32 AM Tom_L: Rank Metal Thermal Conductivity [BTU/(hr·ft⋅°F)]
02:32 AM Tom_L: 1 Copper 223
02:32 AM Tom_L: 2 Aluminum 118
02:32 AM Tom_L: 3 Brass 64
03:22 AM rue_mohr: I think I can easily thread it to take a brass coupler that already has a taper on it
03:22 AM rue_mohr: TO DO that I need to completely disassemble it
03:23 AM rue_mohr: I think
03:23 AM rue_mohr: cut the tip off, drill it mostly out, and thread it
03:23 AM rue_mohr: 1/8 NPT should do
10:09 AM rue_mohr: morning
10:10 AM Tom_L: morning
10:10 AM rue_mohr: I hope we can finish this quick
10:11 AM rue_mohr: wondering how I can modify that tip without taking the whole thing apart
10:12 AM rue_mohr: if I get home with enough time I'll try to find a brass nozzel
10:12 AM rue_mohr: but from what you posted, I'd be better off making an aluminum one
10:13 AM Tom_L: the threads may gauld
10:13 AM Tom_L: but it has the best thermal properties
10:13 AM Tom_L: copper is good but unobtanium
10:14 AM rue_mohr: heh, plate the aluminum in copper
10:14 AM rue_mohr: CCA
10:57 AM rue_mohr: so I was working on trying to find the rotation point of my shoulder
10:57 AM rue_mohr: I got strange results
10:58 AM rue_mohr: 7cm down from my shoulders, but only 13cm apart
10:58 AM rue_mohr: not at the socket like I'd expect
12:37 PM * BloodMoon steals the world

10:35 PM rue_bed: that had me burned out
10:35 PM rue_bed: worked till about 4
10:36 PM rue_bed: taking tommorow off
10:47 PM Tom_L: me too
10:47 PM Tom_L: so sore from doing things around here
10:48 PM Tom_L: finally i think at least... got debian reinstalled
10:48 PM Tom_L: took a bit to remember a few things
11:08 PM rue_mohr: there were a number of hoops for that setup

11:42 PM rue_shop2: Sphere volume: 8646.074219
11:42 PM rue_shop2: root@blackie3:/tmp#
