12:56 AM mrec: Tom_itx: the motor is inside now, basically the same problem as with the 750w motor so far but I did not check anything yet
01:11 AM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
01:20 AM Tom_L: what problem is that?
01:58 AM Deejay: moin
02:11 AM XXCoder: roycroft: hes not great but hes living
02:21 AM mrec: hmm I have bought one of those parallel port adapters
02:21 AM mrec: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001824803563.html
02:21 AM mrec: and what do I see... common ground not in particular what I have expected
02:23 AM mrec: I thought everything's well isolated but no. just a few pins are.
03:32 AM Centurion_Dan1 is now known as Centurion_Dan
05:13 AM Tom_L: morning
05:14 AM JT-Cave: morning
09:01 AM Tom_L: windy as heck today
11:05 AM JT-Cave: same here
11:06 AM Tom_L: experimental reindeer injection mold: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/reindeer/reindeer7.jpg
11:07 AM Tom_L: for PLA
11:07 AM Deejay: psst, Tom, xmas is already over ;)
11:07 AM Tom_L: no it's coming up
11:08 AM Tom_L: plenty of time to get this fixed :)
11:08 AM Deejay: hehe
11:08 AM Deejay: after xmas is before xmas, right? ;)
11:08 AM Tom_L: for someone else
11:16 AM mrec: Tom_L: which program did you use for generating the path?
11:17 AM Tom_L: smartcam
11:18 AM Tom_L: i didn't use a pocket cut on that
11:20 AM mrec: how much does smartcam cost?
11:21 AM Tom_L: when i got it ~25+ yrs ago around $6k
11:21 AM Tom_L: i also still have a DOS version :)
11:24 AM mrec: I guess if I would have known what I know now I'd probably also would have taken some shortcut back then
11:24 AM mrec: now I just stick with freecad and keep modifying it
11:25 AM mrec: https://snipboard.io/co1Pxu.jpg
11:25 AM Tom_L: i was using it on a regular basis back then and had a 1 yr cost recovery
11:25 AM mrec: it wasn't that easy to do it with freecad at the beginning but now I'm very quick with it
11:25 AM Tom_L: so still having it is just a bonus now
11:26 AM Tom_L: it's all wireframe, no solids but i use catia or sw if i need to for that then import it
11:27 AM Tom_L: but it does do 4 axis and full 3d
11:28 AM mrec: I haven't done much 4 axis (other than coding things myself, pinion gears, few cutouts etc.)
11:28 AM mrec: I'm growing up with freecad and freecad is growing with me
11:29 AM mrec: tomorrow I'll continue with the linuxcnc motor settings for the lathe I'm curious about the result
11:30 AM mrec: today it was too late, I had a movie night with my little daughter
11:36 AM JT-Shop: Tom_L, here is an injection mold https://gnipsel.com/images/misc/injection-mold.jpg
11:37 AM Tom_L: small one but yeah :)
11:37 AM Tom_L: i dunno what his plans are for that
11:39 AM JT-Shop: the reindeer?
11:39 AM Tom_L: yeah
11:40 AM Tom_L: i did the alum mold for him to make latches
12:17 PM mrec: Tom_L: can you give me the link to your controller documentation?
12:26 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/configs/NEW_MILL_SHOP_2.8.2/New_Mill_IO_Pinout.pdf
12:26 PM Tom_L: P5 is probably what you want
12:30 PM mrec: your motor is rated 6k rpm?
12:31 PM mrec: mine is rated 4k rpm
12:33 PM Tom_L: :)
12:37 PM mrec: thanks though, I'll go through it tomorrow
12:37 PM Tom_L: i'd be curious if the setting parameter list is the same
12:37 PM mrec: well I will use different settings due to the different motor
12:37 PM Tom_L: and if yours includes anything on modbus
12:38 PM Tom_L: right
12:38 PM Tom_L: but if the list is the same or different
12:38 PM mrec: I need power at low speed, I'm basically fine with stable 500rpm only
12:39 PM mrec: I'm curious if I can get a different performance for parting steel
12:39 PM Tom_L: that was why i went this route instead of a bazillion rpm spindle
12:40 PM mrec: I'll also replace the printed encoder mount next week that's just too flimsy for a permanent installation
12:40 PM mrec: it works fine but I want to keep it long term and not worry about it
01:46 PM JT-Shop2: wow a jointer fills up fast with chips when you have the wrong blast gate open
01:48 PM XXCoder: doh
01:51 PM _unreal_: getting closer on my CAD work
01:52 PM _unreal_: just got a few more aluminum parts cut up on the band saw
01:52 PM _unreal_: ready for cnc mounting when I get the cad work done.
01:52 PM _unreal_: I also got the first stage blocks milled so far and test mounted on my cnc carriages for the Y axis. perfect fit and no flex forcing on the bearings.
02:04 PM _unreal_: not looking forward to the MILLING job though. going to be endless aluminum ugh.
02:20 PM roycroft: try running your thicknesser without extraction
02:20 PM roycroft: within seconds you'll be damaging the wood unless it's hard maple or something similar
02:39 PM JT-Shop2: my buddy with the sawmill just opens the door to his shop and wheels the thicknesser to the door and has an open end
02:39 PM JT-Shop2: makes a cool pile of shavings
02:45 PM JT-Shop2: dunno if the poplar I got was just really soft but it was too soft to make a drawer
02:45 PM XXCoder: roycroft: hes well not ok but alive.
02:46 PM JT-Shop2: must have been a bad fall
02:46 PM XXCoder: not too bad, but why he couldnt get up is a problem that wont go away for few days
03:00 PM roycroft: alive is better than not alive
03:01 PM roycroft: jt-shop2: with mine, if i don't use extraction the chips get stuck up top and get pushed down onto the wood by the cutter, and then the outfeed roller embeds them in the wood
03:02 PM roycroft: it was the same with my old, benchtop model as well
03:04 PM JT-Shop2: that would be bad, his just shoots them out in a stream
03:05 PM roycroft: xxcoder: i reduced my extrusion rate a bit more this morning, and i'm getting significantly better results
03:05 PM XXCoder: thats awesome
03:05 PM JT-Shop2: I made a functional dovetail joint the other day... it sure is butt ugly lol
03:05 PM XXCoder: jt but functional!
03:05 PM roycroft: yeah, i think i have things almost dialed in
03:05 PM roycroft: jt-shop2: it takes a while to learn how to do it well
03:06 PM roycroft: if you haven't watched rob cosman's videos on hand-cut dovetails i suggest you do
03:06 PM JT-Shop2: helps to have the proper back saw too
03:06 PM roycroft: ignore the commercials about his tools
03:06 PM JT-Shop2: I watched paul sellers
03:06 PM roycroft: he makes great tools, but he charges too much for htem
03:06 PM roycroft: paul teachs one of the "classic" methods
03:07 PM roycroft: rob teaches a more modern method that yields better results sooner for beginners
03:07 PM JT-Shop2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wkw39o_3MQ
03:07 PM JT-Shop2: he has a unique jig to cut them straight and true but you have to make the jig true first
03:08 PM JT-Shop2: I skipped the jig
03:08 PM roycroft: you might check out frank klausz as well
03:08 PM roycroft: he is perhaps the fastest dovetail cutter alive
03:08 PM roycroft: although matt estlea gave him a run for his money a while back
03:10 PM roycroft: xxcoder: i've reduced the infill on my supports to 2%, and that makes them print faster, saves material, and makes them easier to remove
03:10 PM roycroft: i think i'm going to reduce to 1% on my next test, where i'm also going to be adjusting a couple other things
03:10 PM XXCoder: nice. did lip work well also?
03:11 PM roycroft: i actually printed the old, original lip on this test, and it turned out pretty well
03:11 PM roycroft: but i like the new lip better, although i think it's a bit too thick
03:11 PM roycroft: which is one of the adjustments i'm going to make
03:11 PM roycroft: i'm also going to increase the "scoop" radius on the front inside of the box
03:13 PM roycroft: but i do think i'm very close to a final design
03:14 PM XXCoder: awesome :)
03:15 PM roycroft: yeah, as soon as i finalize the design i'm going to start cranking out boxes
03:15 PM roycroft: i'd like to print 20 of the small size per day or equivalent
03:16 PM unterhausen: Frank Klaus sold his house/shop in NJ a few years ago
03:17 PM unterhausen: shop was a work of art, but I'm not sure if people that have that kind of money to buy the house would appreciate it
03:18 PM CaptHindsight[m]: is there much of a learning curve when using CNC to make dovetails?
03:18 PM XXCoder: dont think jt is using cnc
03:18 PM CaptHindsight[m]: i agree
03:23 PM roycroft: people with that kind of money sadly are more attracted to gold-plated toilets these days than actual artistic craftsmanship
03:27 PM roycroft: i'm not great at hand-cutting dovetails, but i muddle through ok
03:27 PM roycroft: the ones on my workbench turned out fairly decent, although i'm not particularly proud of them
03:28 PM roycroft: i have a leigh d4 jig and i can cut perfect dovetails with that, but it's really not practical do that except in production
03:29 PM roycroft: with the ~60 drawers i have to make for my new shop storage cabinets i'll use it if i decide to dovetail them
03:29 PM XXCoder: I'd setup cnc cut them all
03:29 PM XXCoder: that guys circle dovetails was cool
03:31 PM roycroft: are you talking about those round things that were popular in the late 19th century for about a decade?
03:31 PM roycroft: knapp joints
03:31 PM XXCoder: no idea. its just dovetail, but intend of square tabs, its circles
03:32 PM roycroft: https://furnishgreen.com/fun-furniture-fact-the-knapp-joint/
03:32 PM roycroft: that?
03:32 PM XXCoder: interesting. thats bit different also
03:32 PM XXCoder: nah
03:32 PM roycroft: i don't like knapp joints
03:32 PM roycroft: aesthetically i find them unattractive
03:32 PM roycroft: functionally they're very solid, and very quick to make
03:33 PM roycroft: but they fell out of fashion by the turn of the century
03:33 PM roycroft: because by then, machine cut dovetails were developed to the point that they were just as efficient to make, and are so much more attractive
03:34 PM roycroft: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/19/69/6f/19696f50b4f322517c5662f45a9acf87.jpg
03:34 PM roycroft: is that what you're talking about?
03:34 PM XXCoder: lol thats wrird but nah
03:34 PM XXCoder: https://imgur.com/JZkSNnV.png
03:34 PM XXCoder: tabs
03:34 PM roycroft: to me, that is hideous :)
03:35 PM XXCoder: bunch of... erm balls
03:35 PM roycroft: oh, like this? :http://www.boxford-software.com/resources/RouterClasses.html
03:36 PM roycroft: that's just using a half-blind setup for a router jig but going all the way through
03:36 PM * roycroft prefers traditional dovetails to all variants/similar joints
03:36 PM XXCoder: similiar to that byt just stright cut. simple to cnc
03:39 PM unterhausen: machine cut dovetails got so good that people have started making really thin dovetails so you can tell they are handmade
03:40 PM unterhausen: and I have to admit that when I see someone making thick tails that I wonder why they bothered cutting them by hand
03:40 PM unterhausen: of course, something like a leigh is not cheap
03:42 PM XXCoder: roycroft: https://youtu.be/IZTv5y0yX6w?t=866 you can see it at that time
03:43 PM roycroft: i got my leight d4 on cl, but it was still expensive
03:44 PM roycroft: and if i'm honest, i haven't used it all that much
03:45 PM roycroft: because it is somewhat fiddly to set up, so it's not worth it for making a drawer or two
03:45 PM roycroft: it's faster to cut them by hand when there's only a few to do
03:45 PM roycroft: but also, i tend to use my incra jig for making drawer joints, and find that finger joints are find for most of what i make
04:17 PM JT-Shop2: opps the dust collector bag is very over full
04:20 PM * JT-Shop2 has a Crapsman dovetail jig for the router
04:27 PM unterhausen: I had a porter cable and sold it on ebay
04:59 PM JT-Shop: https://imagebin.ca/v/6emdfQZH8QyH
05:02 PM unterhausen: I got you beat. I filled my cyclone up to the top. I was disgruntled about its poor performance
05:03 PM unterhausen: fortunately, sawdust composts well.
05:03 PM JT-Shop2: when I bought that it was full to the top
05:03 PM unterhausen: you bought it from someone that thought it didn't work very well?
05:04 PM JT-Shop2: I put some on my chicken poop in the compost bins, layer of poop, layer of wood chips
05:04 PM JT-Shop2: he started it up and it didn't suck much, he never used it, a carpenter build some stuff for him
05:05 PM unterhausen: I have the parts to make a bin full alarm, just haven't done it yet
05:05 PM JT-Shop2: he supplied the dust collector and planer
05:05 PM unterhausen: apparently the crummy dc performance issue is more widespread than I thought
05:06 PM unterhausen: I have to take my cyclone down and rearrange it. I was a little too smart when I put it up
05:07 PM unterhausen: I got a good deal on it, my friend is easily discouraged and sold it to me
05:45 PM roycroft: i need to make a view window for my dust collector barrel
05:45 PM roycroft: i never got around to that when i did the refurbishment
05:45 PM roycroft: but right now i have a really fun (not) project ahead of me: finding space to move my current tool storage shelving unit so i can build the new cabinets
05:46 PM roycroft: it's 8' long x 2' deep x 4' high
05:46 PM roycroft: almost identical to the dimensions of the new cabinets
05:46 PM roycroft: and requires a lot of real estate to rehome
05:47 PM unterhausen: I like the idea of putting an led at the back of the barrel and a little window at the front
05:47 PM roycroft: i'm sadly leaning towards using melamine for the carcases
05:47 PM XXCoder: yeah little led on top and its 100% more readable
05:47 PM roycroft: other materials are just too damn expensive
05:47 PM roycroft: an led inside the barrel might be nice
05:47 PM roycroft: i'm going to put the view window in the lid
05:48 PM XXCoder: it can be cheapest led solid rod you can buy. which is maube couple dollars
05:48 PM roycroft: a flashlight would probably work ok, but having an led lamp on the inside of the lid might be even better
05:48 PM roycroft: xxcoder: i'm doing what i hope is my final test right now
05:48 PM XXCoder: :D
05:49 PM unterhausen: I think the simplicity of that would be good. As we have found today, it's common to overfill the bin
05:49 PM roycroft: i increased the jerk rate a wee bit, decreased the extrusion rate by just tiny bit more, and increased the print speed a bit
05:49 PM XXCoder: https://www.amazon.com/Strip-Lighting-Home-Special-Effects/dp/B00NPBX6MA/
05:49 PM roycroft: the last sample i printed is perfectly usable
05:49 PM unterhausen: although my fancy detector sets off an alarm that can be heard upstairs
05:49 PM roycroft: so i know i'm very close
05:49 PM XXCoder: thats 3 dollars, pre-ship. 6 with shipping
05:50 PM roycroft: i don't have a detector on mine
05:50 PM roycroft: they cost over $100
05:50 PM roycroft: i figured a sight glass would be a lot cheaper
05:50 PM XXCoder: yep
05:50 PM unterhausen: yeah, and it works, especially if you put a light in the barrel
05:50 PM roycroft: i line my barrel with a leaf bag, for ease of emptying
05:50 PM unterhausen: my detector cost me $35-ish? I think
05:51 PM roycroft: so i would have to mount the lamp on the underside of the lid, but that is fine
05:51 PM unterhausen: plenty of people have reverse engineered the $100 ones and published their design
05:51 PM unterhausen: That's what I was thinking, no need to have the light in the barrel
05:51 PM unterhausen: put it on the lid
05:52 PM roycroft: to date, just checking the barrel before i'm about to make a bunch of chips/sawdust has worked for me
05:52 PM XXCoder: roy yeah theres ikea ones too $10 but far more mountable than strips
05:52 PM XXCoder: like DIODER
05:52 PM XXCoder: I use 2 strips on my 3d printer. nice light
05:53 PM XXCoder: theres another light with same name, but its brighter, AND you can set color
05:53 PM unterhausen: my barrel is a pain to check. Need wrenches and it's otherwise quite awkward
05:55 PM unterhausen: I should just take one of the led indicator lights I bought for my alarm and put it inside the barrel. I have these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S8Z3K1B/
05:56 PM unterhausen: might possibly not be explosion-proof though
05:57 PM * roycroft bets a flashlight will probably work fine
05:57 PM unterhausen: true, but the batteries would be dead at my house
05:57 PM unterhausen: I have many character flaws
05:57 PM roycroft: so i found out last night that festool just discontinued one of my favorite sanders - the ls 130
05:58 PM roycroft: its the only linear sander i've ever seen other than pneumatic ones for automotive body work
05:58 PM roycroft: i'm trying to assemble a complete set of profile pads for it before they disappear, and i found today that the local stores are already having trouble getting them
05:59 PM roycroft: abrasives i'm not worried about, because 1. festool tend to continue making abrasives for discontinued sanders for many, many years, and 2. there's another current sander that uses the same abrasives
05:59 PM roycroft: but the profile pads are a different matter
06:00 PM roycroft: i figure if i stock up, they will be like action figure collectables
06:00 PM XXCoder: unterhausen: I do suggest dioder
06:00 PM roycroft: if i don't use them, and keep them in the original packaging, unopened, years from now they'll be worth much more than i paid for them
06:00 PM XXCoder: just seal end of it and its safe and bright
06:01 PM roycroft: yeah, for led lamps, if you want to make them explosion proof just glob some silicone sealant around the electrical connections and you should be good to go
06:02 PM XXCoder: 30 usd for "4 pack" not sure if it means 4 of 4 led strup packs, or just one (counting led strups)
06:06 PM unterhausen: I am pretty sure I can put together my detector in an evening, just have to do it
06:07 PM unterhausen: sensor is even mounted already
06:07 PM unterhausen: I might have used one of the power supplies for something else though
06:09 PM XXCoder: pretty cheap https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/silverglans-led-bathroom-lighting-strip-dimmable-white-00439642/
06:09 PM XXCoder: 15 usd. and you can turn light on and off by remote
06:09 PM XXCoder: honestly id probably leave it permently on
06:26 PM unterhausen: I have to re-doodle my dc system so it's usable first. But this discussion has made me realize I should set up the detector system as part of that
06:36 PM roycroft: i still have to finish mine
06:37 PM roycroft: on the shop side of the cyclone, i'm slowly replacing the 4" flexible duct with 5" metal duct
06:38 PM roycroft: right now i'm using a single, long length of the 4" flexible duct and moving it from machine to machine as i go
06:38 PM Tom_L: does it generate static inside?
06:38 PM roycroft: the goal is to do an overhead 5" metal duct system with a few drops
06:38 PM roycroft: not much
06:38 PM roycroft: the metal duct is better for that, of course
06:38 PM Tom_L: i could see that going off like a grain elevator
06:39 PM roycroft: you don't live in the pacific northwet :)
06:39 PM Tom_L: ahh, humid..
06:39 PM roycroft: while i shouldn't ignore the hazard, it's not as much of an issue as in other parts of the country here
06:39 PM Tom_L: like the SE only different
06:39 PM roycroft: yes
06:39 PM roycroft: the southeast is wet in the summer
06:39 PM roycroft: we're wet in the winter
06:40 PM roycroft: our lowest humidity months are from mid june to mid september
06:40 PM roycroft: when i was a kid my family would travel to the east coast and southeast frequenetly for vacations
06:41 PM Tom_L: https://www.kansas.com/latest-news/f8w8jg/picture853339/alternates/LANDSCAPE_1140/052310debruce
06:41 PM roycroft: the last time i went on a family trip to that area was '74 or '75
06:41 PM Tom_L: biggest one in the world i think
06:41 PM roycroft: then i moved to the west coast
06:41 PM roycroft: in 1996 i had to attend a conference in dc in august
06:41 PM Tom_L: blew several towers off the end
06:41 PM roycroft: i flew into dulles and was sitting in the back of a 747
06:42 PM Tom_L: sounded like a bomb going off
06:42 PM roycroft: when we landed, they opened the front cabin door
06:42 PM roycroft: about 30 seconds later, i said "oh, i remember this"
06:42 PM roycroft: the hot, humid air was almost overwhelming
06:42 PM Tom_L: heh, yeah
06:43 PM roycroft: yeah, i remember reading about that mishap
06:43 PM roycroft: i think you've mentioned it here before
06:43 PM roycroft: but i had heard about it before you mentioned it - it made national news
06:43 PM Tom_L: don't recall that but i may have
06:43 PM Tom_L: you can't grasp the size until you're driving up to it
06:43 PM roycroft: dust collectors are like miniature grain silos in that respect
06:44 PM roycroft: i've seen some pretty big silos in illinois and iowa
06:44 PM roycroft: but not on that scale
06:44 PM Tom_L: it's still in operation but a little shorter now
06:44 PM Tom_L: they rebuilt the side the top blew off
06:46 PM Tom_L: the sawdust collectors just made me think of it
06:52 PM roycroft: i should get back to finding a new home for my tool storage shelving
06:53 PM roycroft: i have a couple ideas, but they both involve a lot of work
07:15 PM unterhausen: grain elevators blow up because of the gas from the grain
07:16 PM unterhausen: the big problem with dust collectors isn't static electricity
07:16 PM Tom_L: it is a contributing factor
07:16 PM unterhausen: it's widely considered such, but all the big dc collector explosions are by definition all-metal
07:17 PM unterhausen: home dc are much more likely to have a problem with fire
07:18 PM unterhausen: my saw was smoking yesterday so I sorted through all the sawdust to see if any of it was smoldering
07:19 PM roycroft: there are very few home dust collector explosions/fires
07:19 PM roycroft: there are far more home dc alarmists than actual incicents
07:20 PM roycroft: that said, it's still something to be concerned about when designing/installing a dc system
07:21 PM unterhausen: just scanning google results, the explosions happen when the firefighters open a bag house and a cloud of dust escapes. But the reason they open it is because there is already a fire
07:23 PM unterhausen: if it was so easy to have a dc explosion because of static, I'm disappointed nobody ever made a video
07:24 PM unterhausen: they might die, but they would die as heroes
07:32 PM roycroft: i just started printing my first batch of fastener boxes
07:33 PM roycroft: with luck, i'll be done printing boxes by the end of summer
07:33 PM XXCoder: roycroft: got pics? I guess your changes worked
07:35 PM roycroft: i'll take a picture when this batch is done
07:35 PM XXCoder: ok
07:35 PM roycroft: it's still not perfect, but it's good enough
07:35 PM roycroft: i'm printing larger boxes, and 5 up, so this job won't be done 'til midnight or so
07:36 PM XXCoder: lol ok
07:37 PM roycroft: i have yellow filament in the printer at the moment and yellow is for zinc oxide coated fasteners
07:37 PM roycroft: most of that stuff that i have is in larger sizes, so the little 2"x2" boxes won't work for most of it
08:22 PM XXCoder: shoot me
08:25 PM Tom_L: BOOM!
08:25 PM XXCoder: thanks
08:25 PM * XXCoder dies
08:30 PM * roycroft has nothing with which to do that
08:31 PM * XXCoder is dead and cannot reply
08:31 PM Tom_L: i borrowed jt's cannon
08:47 PM CaptHindsight[m]: it might be interesting to try Kicad to create connections between components for a Hal file
08:49 PM Tom_L: heh rolled over the gcode counter in my post
08:49 PM CaptHindsight[m]: turn Hal components into Kicad symbols, use Kicad to graphically connect them
08:50 PM XXCoder: CaptHindsight[m]: got plugin support? if so, would be interesting
08:50 PM XXCoder: kicad as HAI editor
08:51 PM XXCoder: *HAL
08:58 PM CaptHindsight[m]: almost works as is if you label the component pins properly and parse just the connections in the netlist
09:00 PM XXCoder: yeah
09:00 PM XXCoder: honestly all it needs is sanity check
09:01 PM CaptHindsight[m]: mission creep
09:01 PM XXCoder: it wouldnt be add to main kicad
09:01 PM XXCoder: just plugin
09:01 PM XXCoder: like laser cam plugin to inkscape
09:02 PM CaptHindsight[m]: I just wanted to work on camera vision widgets for machine aligment
09:02 PM CaptHindsight[m]: yeah just a plug-in
09:23 PM acer: so the milling job seems to be going ok. had one odd glitch? first hole that was milled was like 2x larger then it should be???? no f ING idea how why? just odd
09:23 PM acer: but other then that its milling ok
09:23 PM acer is now known as _unreal_
09:23 PM XXCoder: odd. best I can think of, that op is missing diameter comp for tool
09:23 PM CaptHindsight[m]: dia used vs radius?
09:23 PM XXCoder: or that
09:23 PM _unreal_: I dont know
09:23 PM CaptHindsight[m]: dia used as radius
09:23 PM _unreal_: its some odd glitch from ESTLcam?
09:24 PM _unreal_: does not matter for that hole. just annoying
09:34 PM XXCoder: maybe need to run it in sim first
09:34 PM XXCoder: camotics actually show cut stock see if correct etc
09:43 PM _unreal_: I did run it in sim. ESTLcam always displays sim as you hit save
09:43 PM _unreal_: it just fucked up
09:44 PM _unreal_: I closed ad re-opened it. its like it confused two options
09:44 PM _unreal_: its happend before, odd glitches
09:44 PM _unreal_: not often but does happen
09:44 PM _unreal_: sigh... I'm done milling for the night
09:44 PM _unreal_: just broke an other bit
09:44 PM Centurion_Dan1 is now known as Centurion_Dan
09:45 PM _unreal_: I new milling a certain hole was going to be a major PITA
09:45 PM _unreal_: for my machine
09:45 PM _unreal_: clogs every time
09:46 PM _unreal_: estlcam does not do a good job with peeling
09:46 PM _unreal_: and not that it does a bad job. it just does not do a good job on small locations when the big is just a bit smaller then the area to peel-mill
09:46 PM _unreal_: then again most of what I'm doing is THAT. small locations
09:47 PM _unreal_: 4mill holes
09:47 PM _unreal_: sigh
10:58 PM olbastard[m]: hello all.. I have something annoying me... I have my homem x0 yo set at front right corner and any movement in X is in the negative.. is there a way to change that? I would have pulled my hair out by now if I had any
11:01 PM XXCoder: yeah change x home to LEFT side
11:01 PM XXCoder: make sure shape is not mirrored after changing settings
11:01 PM XXCoder: make sure HAL settings is correct after change
11:16 PM olbastard[m]: So no way having home in the right side.. I dont want it on the left side
11:24 PM olbastard[m]: left side is against a wall,
11:25 PM XXCoder: im not sure if there is option to set home as specified number besides zero
11:28 PM olbastard[m]: I would think if grbl can have 00 at any corner and numbers not going negative on movemnet .. that linuxcnc should have a way as well
