[00:04:45] <Tecan> ReadError no but ide love to :)
[00:05:07] <Tecan> UHMWPE makes for some pretty tough armour
[00:48:48] <Tecan> tjtr33 that font what was that
[00:48:58] <Tecan> ejyptian japanese... ?

[00:49:39] <tjtr33> ask him ^^^
[00:50:08] <Tecan> oh i was looking for tjb1
[00:50:14] <tjtr33> ้ธเๆๆณฯบ
[00:50:32] <Tecan> its not the same... if you actually put it into google or something
[00:50:39] <Tecan> theres a ton of chars in there
[00:50:48] <Tecan> that stack vertically
[00:53:59] <tjtr33> when you have multiple .hal files, and a component of same type in each... well the 1st .hal has to loadrt it (like loadrt or2 count =3), this is kinda ugly, and hides knowledge of the loadrt from the 2nd file. better way?
[00:55:35] <Tecan> put it all in one file ?
[00:55:37] <Tecan> :)
[00:56:33] <tjtr33> ah, the 1st file is a stock file 'core_sim.hal' and i didnt wann mess with it
[00:56:54] <tjtr33> keep it virgin
[00:57:24] <tjtr33> else you need to keep a local copy of a stock file with non-standard content
[00:58:08] <tjtr33> no biggee, just clumsy
[01:05:11] <tjtr33> doh, just use local file w name that makes hack obvious [HAL] HALFILE = core_simHACKED.hal
[01:24:53] <MattyMatt> Tecan PE armour degrades doesn't it? like that StarLite stuff that wouldn't work after 6 months in a vest
[01:25:28] <MattyMatt> several security guards died to find that out
[01:27:51] <Tecan> i was thinking more for knee pads and face mask
[01:28:34] <Tecan> maybe a neck protector
[01:29:16] <Tecan> a shot to the head will probably kill just from the vibration alone
[01:29:53] <Tecan> mind you they wore those little tin helmets in ww2
[01:30:17] <Tecan> probably more for debree than to stop a bullet

[05:13:10] <Loetmichel> mornin'
[05:27:06] <theos> o/
[08:20:10] <IchGuckLive> hi all
[08:20:21] <IchGuckLive> is today the USA holiday
[08:20:31] <IchGuckLive> for incarnation of the ld president
[08:23:29] <mhaberler> well Obama _does_ walk over water according to Axelrod, but incarnation would be a new twist
[08:24:04] <IchGuckLive> B)
[08:25:44] <mrsun> yeah! grinding table done ... now i just need straight "grinders" for the machine
[08:28:44] <ReadError> if im looking at the impact resistance of a material, and it says "No Break"
[08:28:53] <ReadError> what exactly does that mean? it will never snap?
[08:29:22] <Loetmichel> mhaberler: WTF? you mean he cant walk over water?
[08:29:37] <Loetmichel> ... a world ios going down!
[08:29:38] <Loetmichel> -o
[08:39:11] <mhaberler> German media insists on both: walking over water and reincarnation of, well, who was it again - a pity the germans cant vote for Obama, he'd have something like 105%
[08:46:23] <Mr_Wolfsl> Hi all
[08:46:57] <Mr_Wolfsl> Anyone have the .ngc of this movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWKYQUj5AOs&list=UL_tA-W7nTNSc
[08:49:56] <skunkworks> Mr_Wolfsl, maybe jepler...
[08:50:04] <Loetmichel> mhaberler: i think more like 200%
[08:50:07] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[08:50:48] <Loetmichel> ... so the (the germans ) use roesler as a substitute ;-)=
[09:05:05] <r00t4rd3d> https://github.com/araisrobo/linuxcnc/blob/master/nc_files/cone.ngc
[09:07:39] <r00t4rd3d> searched for linuxcnc and the name of the file that was opened.
[09:07:55] <r00t4rd3d> Im genius like that.
[10:57:13] <Tecan> http://i.imgur.com/VqEef6b.jpg << is my room getting any cleaner ? i took out the bigscreen now
[10:58:47] * archivist wonders what ess aich one tee is out of view
[11:00:54] <skunkworks> I think everyone has that 'digital electronics' book
[11:01:47] <Tecan> i have art of electronics up there too
[11:02:04] <Tecan> too hardcore for me tho
[11:12:15] <archivist> the art of electronics is a bit naff and lacks detail imo
[11:13:11] <Tecan> aimed at people who can understand dsp
[11:13:37] <Tecan> or atleast the maths involved
[11:14:41] <archivist> skunkworks, I dont have the digital electronics book :)
[11:14:49] <skunkworks> heh
[11:15:04] <skunkworks> you don't need it. - you're ok than...
[11:15:29] <Tecan> :)
[11:15:33] <archivist> I got a few books but not that one
[11:16:01] <skunkworks> then
[11:18:49] <archivist> Tecan, do not worry about untidy, all doers "suffer"
[11:19:37] <Tecan> think i might have OCD though
[11:19:48] <Tecan> its managable but i do like things clean
[11:20:11] <archivist> my lounge was once nearly tidy
http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2001/2001_10_11_lounge/P1010001.JPG
[11:21:22] <Tecan> holy
[11:21:52] <Tecan> you need a scanner
[11:22:01] <cradek> archivist: hp unix workstation? I recognize that monitor and keyboard.
[11:22:09] <mrsun> that room is about as much panic as i can get :P
[11:22:21] <archivist> cradek, yes still have that
[11:22:50] <Jymmm> heh heh... "Book shelf"
[11:22:58] <Tecan> look at all the ide cables spewing out of that case
[11:23:47] <archivist> and scsi probably at that time
[11:24:11] <Jymmm> 24 DB9's? Serial?
[11:24:17] <archivist> Jymmm, 400 yards of shelf at the last count
[11:24:49] <Jymmm> archivist: No, the books holding UP the shelf instead of the other way around =)
[11:24:50] <archivist> yes that is an old Altos 1000 unix box
[11:25:02] <Jymmm> ah
[11:25:31] <Jymmm> That's a lot of serial cables to run
[11:25:38] <Tecan> 400 yards of shel with hardware or books mostly ?
[11:25:51] <cradek> to think 24 interactive users could happily share a cpu
[11:25:52] <archivist> books
[11:26:07] <Jymmm> cradek: They still can, just don't =)
[11:26:13] <Tecan> i can scan a 400 page book in half an hour
[11:26:15] <cradek> probably a 16-33 MHz cpu
[11:26:23] <Tecan> do double page scans
[11:26:33] <archivist> 16 meg 386
[11:26:46] <archivist> later upped to 25 iirc
[11:26:48] <Tecan> xsane has an auto flip page thingi
[11:27:00] <cradek> ah, I ran autocad on a similar machine (sun 386i)
[11:27:01] <Tecan> where it gives you like 1 or 2 secs to flip the page
[11:27:29] <Jymmm> archivist: Whats the TE with the blue screen?
[11:27:47] <Jymmm> below the PS
[11:28:04] <Jymmm> shelf above the scope
[11:28:07] <archivist> scope with Fourier
[11:28:35] <archivist> made by data precision, has a 68000, but it is a bit dead now
[11:28:50] <Jymmm> heh
[11:29:13] <archivist> I need the manual for it
[11:31:16] <Tecan> archivist whats your setup look like now ?
[11:31:24] <Tecan> little cleaner i hope
[11:31:33] <archivist> ermmmmmm no
[11:32:31] <archivist> I do know what is on shelves though, I bar code the books and catalogue
[11:33:12] <ReadError> anyone ever cut UHMW ?
[11:33:31] <ReadError> Impact-Resistant UHMW Polyethylene Shee
[11:37:05] <archivist> I wonder if that would be as revolting to cut as some nylons are
[11:39:02] <ReadError> well it says to cut with HSS
[11:39:07] <ReadError> i only have carbide ;/
[11:40:41] <archivist> cutters for plastics need to be very sharp
[11:43:17] <archivist> look at the fur on these before cleaning up
http://gears.archivist.info/gears/fan_gears.html
[11:59:34] <IchGuckLive> hi all
[12:04:55] <IchGuckLive> hi tjb1 how is the class today
[12:28:59] <tjb1> Good IchGuckLive, how are you
[12:30:12] <IchGuckLive> cold
[12:34:33] <IchGuckLive> here the after coffee morning event ->
http://foengarage.de/21_jan_2013.jpg
[12:35:14] <IchGuckLive> the ice run along the side of my car
[12:35:32] <IchGuckLive> but i got a standing headsystem
[12:36:02] <IchGuckLive> 25min and it has been cleard out
[12:36:17] <DJ9DJ> get garage :D
[12:38:19] <IchGuckLive> what is the english word for this my translater gives no idee
[12:38:39] <DJ9DJ> ?
[12:38:40] <IchGuckLive> heat in the car bevor motor starts
[12:39:06] <IchGuckLive> with fuel burn
[12:39:20] <IchGuckLive> Trucks do got this
[12:39:21] <DJ9DJ> standheizung? ;)
[12:39:29] <IchGuckLive> yes
[12:39:35] <IchGuckLive> in english
[12:40:04] <DJ9DJ> hm, dict.leo.org says auxiliary heating, park heating...
[12:40:26] <IchGuckLive> auxiliary heating sounds like NASA
[12:40:37] <DJ9DJ> lol
[12:40:40] <IchGuckLive> auxiliary power unit APU
[13:05:07] <ReadError> IchGuckLive: if its that cold here, i just turn my car on with the heater/defroster full blast like 20 mins before i leave
[13:06:20] <IchGuckLive> turn the car on at this cold will kill the engine on time
[13:06:41] <IchGuckLive> therfor the header is good it warms up everything
[13:06:54] <IchGuckLive> and engie is on 40deg to start up
[13:07:34] <ReadError> they have cars that you can plug in
[13:07:42] <ReadError> engine warmers?
[13:07:47] <ReadError> not sure never lived anywhere that cold
[13:08:26] <IchGuckLive> its on the fuel system and burns a 100ml of fuel to head all up
[13:10:26] <IchGuckLive> ok parade is starting so i go watching flightpas
[13:10:27] <IchGuckLive> BY
[13:12:42] <tjb1> r00t4rd3d: Mine shipped
[13:14:18] <ReadError> printer?
[13:14:30] <tjb1> Sadly no
[13:14:33] <tjb1> Bluetooth obd2 scanner
[13:43:16] <andypugh> There is a badly-advertised Monarch 10EE on that eBay for £500
[13:43:42] <andypugh> Too good to CNC though.
[13:45:32] <tjb1> I thought about converting a shoptask to cnc
[13:45:38] <tjb1> Keyword...thought
[13:47:45] <andypugh> shoptask?
[13:49:29] <archivist> I just missed out on some angel grinders :)
[13:49:50] <archivist> 150981182242
[13:50:11] <cradek> hahaha
[13:50:40] <andypugh> I might have bid £5
[13:50:42] <cradek> "Do you believe in angles?" "Yes I see them everywhere I look!" (coworker)
[13:51:02] <archivist> but for meaty cnc nurrishment 130834554368
[13:51:34] <tjb1> Have any of you used Loctite 290(green)?
[13:52:38] <archivist> I avoid glues I tend to prefer press or other fits
[13:52:52] <andypugh> archivist: That Hurco looks like an ideal retrofit-for-profit
[13:53:41] <archivist> andypugh, but transport and the basic capital I dont have cannot afford
[13:54:01] <andypugh> I have exactly the same problems.
[13:54:05] <tjb1> How do you press fit a bolt? :P
[13:54:10] <andypugh> (I also lack the will)
[13:54:30] <andypugh> tjb1: Fitted bolts?
[13:55:11] <tjb1> Sounds expensive
[14:01:14] <tjb1> I just wanted to know if it actually worked
[14:02:13] <archivist> the real answer is...it depends
[14:10:38] <ReadError> im in the wrong line of work
[14:10:46] <ReadError> pulling logs out of a river is pretty profitable..
[14:14:07] <tjb1> So is making moonshine
[14:44:20] <tjb1> Fastenal is a joke, never have anything I want
[14:54:07] <mrsun> http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/150619_10151352242218648_1572811324_n.jpg http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/148328_10151352242158648_1942266670_n.jpg http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/45518_10151352242128648_2146536667_n.jpg success! =)
[14:54:13] <mrsun> let the rail grinding begin! =)
[14:54:20] <mrsun> i wonder if the links works ..
[14:54:20] <mrsun> :P
[14:56:18] <tjb1> Yes, what are you making?
[14:56:50] <mrsun> grinding table to make V rails
[14:57:00] <mrsun> insted of using a skate like mechmate
[14:57:08] <mrsun> i get a bonus with this one .. it will be a router table after :P
[14:57:19] <tjb1> I used the cncrp carriages
[14:57:28] <tjb1> I didnt have the time or motivation to make v-rails myself
[14:57:41] <mrsun> will not take long when i get the table done :P
[14:57:44] <mrsun> hehe
[14:57:53] <anonimasu> I machined myself V rollers to ride on rails instead, seemed like a cheap easy option
[14:57:55] <mrsun> just took a couple of days making the table and stuff :P
[14:58:34] <mrsun> http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/6638_10151350043888648_1427404812_n.jpg using a die grinder .. i will use a cylindrical grinding bit when i make the rails tho :P
[14:58:42] <anonimasu> tho, i got stuck at that got too much other stuff to machine...
[15:00:49] <mrsun> those grinders realy cut steel like butter
[15:02:16] <tjb1> I thought I seen an attachment somewhere for an angle grinder
[15:06:24] <tjb1> I dont think this is it but look towards bottom of thread -
http://www.mechmate.com/Forum/messages/11/3790.html
[15:08:45] <mrsun> heh that was a simple one =)
[15:10:03] <mrsun> gonna try my version atleast =)
[15:10:19] <mrsun> got to be 2 days in the man cave now and refound some fun in this stuff =)
[15:13:00] <andypugh> Folk that have the time to paint use-once jigs are just showing off on the internet.
[15:13:36] <cradek> or who paint anything
[15:13:51] <JT-Shop> or put siding on
[15:14:10] <cradek> lathes don't work better with the castings all smoothed with epoxy and carefully painted
[15:14:20] <andypugh> Painting things that are going to have time to go rusty is reasonable.
[15:14:36] <cradek> of course I guess there's nothing wrong with being an artist as well as a machinist
[15:14:37] <mrsun> cradek, feels faster!
[15:14:51] <cradek> mrsun: nah, that's the off-center stripe
[15:15:19] <mrsun> i painted the guides of the lathe to protect them from rust
[15:15:22] <mrsun> and gears
[15:16:07] <DaViruz_> i paint the taper on all my tool holders
[15:16:15] <mrsun> :P
[15:16:20] <cradek> haha smart
[15:16:26] <cradek> and the ballscrews
[15:17:19] <mrsun> ye those realy needs to be painted
[15:17:27] <mrsun> so much exposed metal
[15:18:16] <DaViruz_> i don't mind nice looking painted machines thugh, less visual noise gives me mental comfort
[15:18:29] <DaViruz_> and i think that goes for most people
[15:18:30] <mrsun> mm
[16:16:02] <DJ9DJ> gn8
[17:30:19] <JT-Shop> yea I got my axle drawn up
[17:57:52] <ReadError> wonderin about spindle RPM for HDPE
[17:58:02] <ReadError> i may try what i use for aluminum
[17:58:11] <toastydeath> as fast as you can go
[17:58:18] <toastydeath> with a big chip load
[17:59:13] <ReadError> i can go to 10k, but worried about melting
[17:59:26] <toastydeath> your chip load is too small if you're melting it
[17:59:57] <toastydeath> use a two or three flute, high helix endmill and use a .010-.015" per tooth feed
[18:00:07] <toastydeath> dial your spindle speed up and down to hit that comfortably
[18:00:31] <toastydeath> if you're doing a tiny endmill obviously .010 is too much, but for anything over a half inch it should be fine
[18:00:46] <ReadError> 1/8" ;/
[18:01:12] <toastydeath> lol
[18:01:36] <toastydeath> are you cutting grooves into it or something
[18:03:21] <toastydeath> with a 1/8th endmill you are really going to top out at like .003 per tooth or something
[18:03:47] <ReadError> seems to be going good so far
[18:03:53] <ReadError> lets see if it stays this way
[18:04:11] <toastydeath> it's difficult to have a problem cutting hdpe
[18:04:25] <ReadError> its actually cutting really nice
[18:04:30] <ReadError> using my aluminum toolpath
[18:04:36] <ReadError> just upped the feedrate in emc
[18:04:45] <toastydeath> like, pretty much ANYTHING you do will work
[18:05:20] <ReadError> this thing is zooming
[18:05:25] <ReadError> i dont think i ever cut this fast
[18:05:34] <toastydeath> there is no rpm limit on hdpe
[18:05:44] <ReadError> endmills hold up pretty good?
[18:05:46] <toastydeath> you're only limited by your feed per tooth and machine ability
[18:05:52] <toastydeath> endmills hold up nearly indefinitely
[18:05:54] <ReadError> i ordered some UHMW poly
[18:05:56] <ReadError> ;)
[18:06:00] <ReadError> thats good to hear
[18:06:02] <toastydeath> if they're carbide, it will last for weeks
[18:06:12] <toastydeath> of constant, 24/7 cutting
[18:06:14] <ReadError> ive been destroying them with CF/G10
[18:06:21] <toastydeath> ?
[18:06:47] <toastydeath> cutting carbon fiber?
[18:06:48] <ReadError> carbonfiber, aka endmill killer
[18:06:50] <ReadError> yea
[18:07:02] <toastydeath> look for carbide endmills with a ZrN coating
[18:07:05] <ReadError> i got it all going into my shopvac w/ hepa
[18:07:15] <ReadError> so i dont think it will damage the ways or my lungs heh
[18:07:22] <ReadError> well not too bad atleast
[18:08:56] <ReadError> yea im kinda torn
[18:09:06] <ReadError> i can use $3 on some i can toss
[18:09:10] <ReadError> or spend more and hope it last
[18:12:46] <AR__> in the past month I have spent $675 on parts for my machine build
[18:12:48] <AR__> ......
[18:13:35] <ReadError> thats not bad
[18:13:39] <ReadError> what are you making?
[18:14:10] <AR__> a little mill
[18:14:17] <AR__> mostly out of aluminum
[18:14:25] <ReadError> wow from scratch ?
[18:14:36] <AR__> yes pretty much
[18:14:48] <AR__> ballscrews, supported shaft linear bearings
[18:15:34] <AR__> just bought a big ground flat aluminum 'base' for $40 on ebay
[18:15:37] <ReadError> any pics?
[18:15:51] <AR__> pics of some of the parts lol
[18:16:01] <ReadError> i feel like im cutting like those high speed machining videos on youtube, feels good
[18:16:41] <ReadError> i think delrin is probably my fav material to cut
[18:16:48] <ReadError> acetal*
[18:17:05] <AR__> here is just the x and y parts sitting on tope of each other for fun
[18:17:06] <AR__> http://i.imgur.com/DbGAq1u.jpg
[18:17:33] <ReadError> i better wait till this is finish cutting to open it ;x
[18:17:40] <AR__> http://i.imgur.com/P58Vl42.jpg
[18:18:26] <AR__> here is with the motor and belt sitting there before i put it together:

[18:18:45] <AR__> and other parts you can see laying arounf
[18:18:47] <AR__> around
[18:18:49] <ReadError> im about to build a router
[18:18:57] <ReadError> i really want to go rack and pinion
[18:18:58] <ReadError> ;/
[18:19:07] <ReadError> but everyone is like no they suck
[18:19:17] <AR__> depends how precise you want to be i guess
[18:19:29] <AR__> if you are just routing wood with big bits i dont think it would matter
[18:20:10] <r00t4rd3d> http://i.imgur.com/xOxh5cU.jpg
[18:20:20] <ReadError> nah not wood
[18:20:26] <ReadError> g10 and CF more than likely
[18:20:32] <ReadError> maybe some 6061
[18:22:26] <AR__> then why a big rack and pinion
[18:22:32] <AR__> big parts?
[18:23:02] <ReadError> well i want atleast 24x48"
[18:33:10] <AR__> thats pretty big
[18:33:21] <ReadError> yea
[18:33:34] <ReadError> ok this HDPE is kinda like a game of, 'how fast can i push this'
[18:34:01] <Connor> Anyone have any ideas on engraving QR codes with a V-bit ?
[18:35:14] <AR__> lol
[18:35:21] <AR__> why are you engraving qr codes
[18:41:39] <Connor> AR__: Dog Tags.
[18:44:39] <Jymmm> How difficult is it to work on/diagnose a diesel car/truck?
[18:55:27] <Connor> any good free gif to dxf programs ? python or perl is fine.
[18:56:38] <r00t4rd3d> free yes, good no.
[18:57:08] <Connor> Shouldn't be bad.. black and white, 2 tone only..
[18:57:15] <r00t4rd3d> link to gif?
[18:57:25] <Connor> Goign to be a qr code.. will change.
[18:59:13] <r00t4rd3d> I use Vector Magic but thats not free
[18:59:28] <r00t4rd3d> and I dont think they have a linux version
[19:02:11] <Jymmm> Connor: Just use the TRACE utility inside of Inkscape
[19:06:38] <Connor> Jymmm: was hoping to be able to automate it..
[19:07:00] <Jymmm> Connor: Not gonna happen
[19:07:37] <Jymmm> Connor: If you think you can live with "good enough", you CAN script Inkscape.
[19:08:16] <r00t4rd3d> Connor, link me to the gif
[19:09:02] <Jymmm> Connor: I personally have a large CLEAN vector library, but it can take housrs sometimes depending on what it is to cleanup node by node.
[19:10:04] <Jymmm> Connor: Everyone has seen this...
http://blog.millermedeiros.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/awesome_tiger.svg
[19:10:43] <Jymmm> Connor: But it's extremely bad and it really is this....
http://i48.tinypic.com/e8la2v.jpg
[19:12:04] <Jymmm> Useful for screen/print, but not anything tangible
[19:12:16] <Jymmm> or fabricated.
[19:12:58] <r00t4rd3d> I could make that workable
[19:13:29] <Jymmm> Go ahead and try
[19:13:38] <r00t4rd3d> almost done
[19:20:46] <jymmm> r00t4rd3d: how is it coming?
[19:26:00] <Tecan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igg5aS3FdGw#t=25s << cool sounding 8 bit tune
[19:27:02] <r00t4rd3d> I ran it through one time and didnt edit anything :
http://i.imgur.com/QUeiM8u.jpg
[19:27:25] <Tecan> ran it through the simulator ?
[19:27:35] <Tecan> whatcha using for that ?
[19:27:38] <r00t4rd3d> no, through my slew of apps
[19:27:52] <r00t4rd3d> vector magic and aspire
[19:28:26] <r00t4rd3d> I could work that to make it perfect
[19:30:32] <r00t4rd3d> i had to covert it first from svg to png before vector magic
[19:33:11] <jymmm> If it's no longer vector, it can't be scaled.
[19:37:00] <r00t4rd3d> sure it can
[19:37:03] <r00t4rd3d> it is vector
[19:37:15] <jymmm> PNG is raster, not vector.
[19:37:16] <r00t4rd3d> i went from svg to png to dxf
[19:37:39] <jymmm> and lost all the outline for one.
[19:37:48] <r00t4rd3d> and Iam almost done with a proper rework
[19:47:30] <r00t4rd3d> better:
http://i.imgur.com/gBm8Ciw.jpg
[19:48:05] <tjb1> r00t4rd3d: Mine shipped
[19:48:13] <r00t4rd3d> yeah mine too
[19:48:24] <tjb1> but the jackass shipped it mail innovations
[19:49:02] <r00t4rd3d> i got a usps priority tracking #
[19:49:03] <tjb1> Im 2 hours away from allentown...
[19:49:19] <jymmm> r00t4rd3d: That's really rough
[19:49:37] <jymmm> just sayin
[19:50:01] <r00t4rd3d> yeah, there is much better lion art out there
[19:55:39] <r00t4rd3d> http://i.imgur.com/PGuGYNd.jpg

[19:58:23] <r00t4rd3d> i guess he has the files if anyone wants some work
[20:00:17] <r00t4rd3d> "in aluminum alloy or plastic"
[20:01:46] <ReadError> or plastic?
[20:01:47] <ReadError> lol
[20:02:02] <ReadError> its a tarp
[20:02:24] <r00t4rd3d> i hope you mean trap
[20:02:53] <ReadError> i say what i mean, and i mean what i say.
[20:11:33] <r00t4rd3d> http://i.imgur.com/opNnoOx.gif
[20:11:35] <Tecan> how accurate woutl ultrasonic be fore measuring tool distance from surface ?

[20:12:16] <r00t4rd3d> i personally would not trust that for any type of cnc work
[20:12:39] <r00t4rd3d> those are more for proximity sensing robots
[20:12:45] <Tecan> yeah
[20:13:04] <Tecan> probably better off with a spst probe
[20:13:09] <ReadError> holy cow
[20:13:13] <ReadError> that just blew my mind
[20:13:16] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[20:13:17] <ReadError> how is that done
[20:13:34] <r00t4rd3d> if you see weird faces it means your gay
[20:13:39] <Tecan> root4rd3d i have one eye so that does not work for me
[20:13:44] <r00t4rd3d> LOL
[20:13:51] <r00t4rd3d> do you got a boat?
[20:14:05] <Tecan> yarrr
[20:14:09] <ReadError> i almost lost an eye recently
[20:14:12] <ReadError> i got something in it
[20:14:12] <r00t4rd3d> maybe we can go pirating sometime
[20:14:17] <ReadError> well it got infected
[20:14:22] <ReadError> i think its getting better
[20:14:47] <r00t4rd3d> tecan how did you lose an eye?
[20:15:00] <toastydeath> who was cutting HPDE earlier, i forget
[20:15:10] <ReadError> me
[20:15:28] <ReadError> i hope UHMW poly is more stiff
[20:15:32] <ReadError> ill see tomorrow i guess
[20:16:16] <toastydeath> quick, unsolicited tip
[20:16:30] <toastydeath> if you have to re-cut something to bring it down in size, back your cutter off by like .0025
[20:16:49] <toastydeath> the spring pass can take off a shitload of material you were not expecting
[20:17:06] <Tecan> oh i see the weirdness now
[20:18:04] <ReadError> toastydeath, it cut really nice
[20:18:12] <toastydeath> it usually does
[20:18:13] <ReadError> but its not rigid enough for my application
[20:18:23] <toastydeath> easy to cut, just like 6061, but springs like a motherfucker
[20:18:27] <ReadError> im hoping UHMW poly cuts as nice and is more rigid
[20:18:28] <r00t4rd3d> toys*
[20:18:30] <toastydeath> (just like 6061)
[20:18:30] <r00t4rd3d> FTFY
[20:18:48] <ReadError> r00t4rd3d, grown man toys
[20:23:29] <ReadError> Tecan, from efnet?
[20:23:47] <Tecan> yessim
[20:24:07] <ReadError> ah ok
[20:37:10] <r00t4rd3d> i think taco bell allows their mexican staff to make their commercials
[20:43:21] <Tecan> would it be possible to put 2 motors on the Y axis of my driver board by reversing some wires for the steppers ?
[20:43:34] <Tecan> to have the motors spin in opposite
[20:44:23] <r00t4rd3d> what driver board do you have?
[20:44:57] <r00t4rd3d> any why 2 motors on your y?
[20:45:29] <r00t4rd3d> if 1 isnt going to be enough, use a nema 34
[20:45:39] <Tecan> hehe
[20:45:58] <Tecan> i just happen to have those
[20:46:06] <Tecan> it was overkill for my laser
[20:46:13] <Tecan> 600 oz/in
[20:46:18] <r00t4rd3d> what driver board do you have?
[20:46:23] <Tecan> ummm one sec
[20:46:28] <r00t4rd3d> tb6560?
[20:46:28] <Tecan> mechantronics something
[20:47:02] <Tecan> all my other driver boards fried
[20:47:06] <Tecan> i've got a box of em
[20:47:13] <Tecan> those mechantronics are bulletproof
[20:48:41] <Tecan> http://www.easy-cnc.com/4axisdriver.html
[20:54:14] <r00t4rd3d> i like that it has a standard fuse and all the chips are easily replaceable.
[20:55:20] <Tecan> those allegra chips do fry though
[20:55:24] <Tecan> not easily
[20:55:48] <Tecan> i fried a few trying to figure out the wiring on my nema 34 lol
[20:56:39] <Tecan> actually i fried all of them bought a new board then fixed the old one
[20:57:21] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-CNC-TB6560-3-Axis-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Controller-Board-1-Set-/281013443688?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416db4dc68
[20:57:23] <Tecan> now i use common sense hooking them up... datasheets etc..
[20:57:24] <r00t4rd3d> thats what i use
[20:57:42] <r00t4rd3d> $40
[20:57:59] <Tecan> whats that weird looking port on it ?
[20:58:12] <r00t4rd3d> game port
[20:58:17] <Tecan> sensors obviouslyo... oh
[20:59:05] <r00t4rd3d> for a remote pendant or game controller to manually jog
[20:59:22] <Tecan> wicked
[20:59:54] <Tecan> i lost all my heatsinks
[21:05:09] <r00t4rd3d> look around, open your eye.
[21:05:33] <ReadError> i think you can use copper pennies
[21:06:58] <r00t4rd3d> how many copper heat sinks have you ever seen?
[21:07:19] <ReadError> uh
[21:07:21] <ReadError> zalman ?
[21:08:46] <r00t4rd3d> rare, most are made of aluminum.
[21:11:17] <AR__> no
[21:11:23] <AR__> aluminum is not conductive
[21:11:45] <jdh> really.
[21:11:51] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[21:11:56] <Tecan> its conductive just not magnetic
[21:11:57] <r00t4rd3d> Ill have what he is smoking
[21:12:33] <jdh> http://tinyurl.com/aca2cx5
[21:12:35] <pcw_home> copper is better but more expensive/heavier
[21:12:46] <r00t4rd3d> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink#Design_factors
[21:13:01] <r00t4rd3d> The most common heat sink materials are aluminium alloys.[
[21:14:06] <AR__> i machine my heat sinks out of O1 tool steel to tolerances under .00005
[21:14:30] <r00t4rd3d> Hmm I guess diamonds are good for heatsinks
[21:14:35] <jdh> why so sloppy?
[21:14:50] <r00t4rd3d> he likes his machined parts like he likes his women
[21:15:06] <jdh> paid for?
[21:15:20] <toastydeath> copper is twice as thermally conductive than Al, but Al is quite thermally conductive by itself
[21:15:43] <jdh> copper is prettier
[21:15:44] <toastydeath> and steel is dismal comparatively.
[21:17:02] <r00t4rd3d> what a douche bag that "prince" harry is announcing to the world he killed a taliban.
[21:17:43] <r00t4rd3d> eww you killed some poor, brainwashed sand dweller, GJ!
[21:21:32] <r00t4rd3d> I want to go live in the woods and surround my cabin with anti government signs.
[21:23:06] <pcw_home> unabomber?
[21:23:47] <jdh> nra?
[21:28:53] <Tecan> http://i.imgur.com/Evqu3x2.jpg
[21:29:12] <Tecan> i just guessed where to put it and hit print
[21:29:32] <r00t4rd3d> shows
[21:29:51] <Tecan> did that one last week havnt printed a mark since
[21:30:40] <Tecan> might sand around the edges
[21:32:16] <r00t4rd3d> is that as dark as your laser will go?
[21:32:25] <r00t4rd3d> how many mw is it
[21:36:15] <Tecan> 40 watt...
[21:36:21] <Tecan> duno why its so dull
[21:36:43] <r00t4rd3d> going to fast?
[21:41:55] <Tecan> even when i slow it down it still sending the same ammount of laser its probably in the code i need to modify
[21:42:04] <Tecan> nice to be able to do though
[21:42:11] <Tecan> gets only a little darke
[21:42:12] <Tecan> r
[21:42:56] <Tecan> it uses spindle speed :)
[21:43:00] <Tecan> to fire the laser
[21:43:28] <Tecan> iirc
[21:43:46] <Tecan> ya the pwm
[21:45:10] <r00t4rd3d> 40w seems very low
[21:45:50] <Tecan> not if you think how well those cdrom lasers work
[21:45:58] <Tecan> blueray for example
[21:46:42] <Tecan> i probably have to tweak the pwm settings to get er upto 100% blast
[21:48:17] <Tecan> my laser as is fireing in test mode i cant even cut acrylic
[21:48:29] <Tecan> duno if it needs to be black or what
[21:48:59] <Tecan> it dents it a little bit but it would take forever
[21:49:38] <r00t4rd3d> whats your pulse width set to?
[21:50:18] <Tecan> not sure off hand probably between 5 and 10k hz
[21:52:25] <r00t4rd3d> go out of focus, lower the power and slow the speed down, reduce the ppi
[21:52:31] <r00t4rd3d> " "
[21:53:17] <Tecan> i've not really focused it properly yet lol
[21:53:30] <Tecan> i got rid of the cat eye burn and then left it
[21:54:00] <r00t4rd3d> should be out of focus
[21:56:55] <Gene34> any gunsmith/machinists in here?
[21:57:48] <r00t4rd3d> ReadError, stfu.
[21:59:09] <Gene34> are they hobbyist or professionals
[21:59:31] <r00t4rd3d> we are mainly professional hobbyists
[22:00:17] <r00t4rd3d> Ive never seen anyone talking about making guns in here, anyone but me :)
[22:00:57] <Gene34> do you make guns?
[22:01:02] <r00t4rd3d> no
[22:01:15] <r00t4rd3d> would like to
[22:01:28] <r00t4rd3d> if i had the right machine I could...
[22:01:54] <Tecan> i gun play i dont play with guns
[22:02:10] <Gene34> hence my next question... what is recommended for barrel action alignment on a bolt (blueprinting)
[22:02:53] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.cncguns.com/forum/index.php
[22:03:05] <r00t4rd3d> Gene34, I think posting on that forum would be your best bet.
[22:03:48] <Gene34> fyi... watched 70 videos on youtube and have read several forum posts and understand what is needed for repair, but when aligning best barrel with action and cleanup etc would like a little more info
[22:04:47] <r00t4rd3d> so you are making one?
[22:04:52] <r00t4rd3d> got any progress pics?
[22:05:08] <r00t4rd3d> wanna make me an ar-15
[22:05:40] <r00t4rd3d> i need a receiver on the cheap :D
[22:06:10] <jymmm> Gene34: you need ar-15 plans?
[22:06:20] <r00t4rd3d> lol no
[22:06:45] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.cncguns.com/downloads.html
[22:06:55] <r00t4rd3d> you can get the ar15 plans there though
[22:07:18] <Gene34> AR15 is not for me...
[22:07:39] <Gene34> more like a rem700 clone with accuracy parts
[22:08:07] <jymmm> Gene34: for distance?
[22:08:40] <jymmm> I'd just be happy with unregistered legal firearms =)
[22:09:23] <jymmm> 22 9 and 12 would work for me =)
[22:10:41] <Gene34> yes... for distance
[22:32:09] <Tecan> http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170978738775

[23:13:07] <MattyMatt> has anyone use a mag drill as a milling spindle?
[23:14:13] <MattyMatt> last owner of my new mill used one, and it looked pretty good
