12:21 AM rue_mohr: copper is evil
12:21 AM rifraf: i can drill and face off just fine on manual lathe
12:22 AM rifraf: is the doring that is an issue
12:22 AM rifraf: boring
12:22 AM rue_mohr: I think you can make copper easier with the right coolant
12:22 AM rifraf: yes seems like coolant is the only way to go
12:22 AM rifraf: i am running dry still
12:23 AM rue_mohr: yes, I find thats quite limited
12:24 AM rifraf: i guess cooland is one of the next upgrades, just need a tray to contain it,and then will need splash guards
12:24 AM rifraf: but can do alot without it so gonna leave vopper for a few months
12:25 AM rue_mohr: tom uses a mister
12:25 AM rifraf: this time machine has to pay for itself before upgrades
12:25 AM rue_mohr: I got one for the lathe and never hooked it up
12:25 AM rue_mohr: was looking at attaching it to the cnc today
12:25 AM rue_mohr: heh
12:25 AM rifraf: have all the misters from manual lahe, won't be hard to setup a mister
12:25 AM rue_mohr: this is why I dont put $1k into a machine
12:26 AM rue_mohr: well I paid quite a bit for that commercial cnc tho
12:26 AM rifraf: got orders that will cover that already
12:26 AM rue_mohr: fraction of what its worth
12:27 AM rifraf: smashed up my cutoff tool , has put a spanner in the works till new one arrives
12:27 AM rifraf: with a spare this time
12:27 AM rue_mohr: wrong feed rate?
12:28 AM rifraf: nope just stupid, new tool path without dumy run, y should have been negative :/
12:29 AM rifraf: positive actually so keep feeding and feeding into work till end of cutoff toll was snapped off
12:30 AM rifraf: anyways gonna go back to shed and make more noise, making a nice ring to finish off set
01:19 AM rue_mohr: trying to work out how to jam a 16x pcie video card into a machine with 8x slots
01:19 AM rue_mohr: not looking too good right now
01:21 AM rue_mohr: its not helping that a lot of the stuff I'm seeing has jacked prices due to crypocurrency

11:50 AM rue_mohr: obfuscated_d, hi
12:50 PM aandrew: yeah about 1h from me (sierra mountains) they're saying this'll be the worst storm for the season. They've alreday got 100" about 3 weeks ago and now they're predicting another 100" yesterday/today
12:51 PM aandrew: rue_mohr> trying to work out how to jam a 16x pcie video card into a machine with 8x slots
12:51 PM aandrew: depending on how much room is in front of the x8 socket you can usually cut out the plastic at the end of the x8 and it should just work (if the connector isn't already slotted)
12:52 PM rue_mohr: oh cut the socket...
01:41 PM rue_mohr: https://projecthub.arduino.cc/SurtrTech/color-detection-using-tcs3200230-a1e463
04:37 PM aandrew: I've used something like that before
05:13 PM rue_mohr: the one I got from china, all the LEDs are soldered in backwards
05:22 PM aandrew: lol excellent QC
05:27 PM rue_shop2: and one didn't work
