03:12 AM Deejay: moin
04:36 AM JT-Cave: morning
04:56 AM mrec_: did anyone retrofit a larger mill with linuxcnc with delta drives? eg. 2kw on each axis?
04:56 AM mrec_: I think about giving up on that meldas m60 stuff and putting delta drives in
04:57 AM mrec_: talking with the manufacturer to obtain the settings is difficult, the distributor would like to charge like 1500$ to check the controller (I just don't want to throw good money after bad things)
04:58 AM mrec_: the plan with the Mitsubishi controller would be to drip feed it (but I don't know how well that would work, modifying the postprocessor accordingly is no issue)
06:28 AM Tom_L: rain
06:42 AM JT-Cave: same here for the next two days
07:55 AM JT-Cave: I feel like crap today

05:00 PM XXCoder: will it cover the top surface of stand for mailbox?
05:03 PM JT-Woodshop: it goes inside the mailbox
05:04 PM JT-Woodshop: so when your butt is inches off the road or you're height challenged you can get the mail without getting out of the vehicle
05:04 PM JT-Woodshop: seems a lot of mail people think the mail belongs at the back of the mailbox

05:05 PM XXCoder: ahh so it cant be pushed in too deep lol
05:06 PM JT-Woodshop: you grab the tray and pull out your mail with the tray
05:06 PM JT-Woodshop: I made on years ago for my wife and she loved it
05:06 PM XXCoder: oh yes
05:07 PM XXCoder: nice
05:07 PM JT-Woodshop: they can still sling it to the back but you pull the tray out and tip it down and the mail slides to the front
05:08 PM XXCoder: this house mailbox is flip top type lol

05:11 PM XXCoder: yeah
05:11 PM JT-Woodshop: interesting
05:11 PM XXCoder: vision tracking is something you never think of till you dont have it
05:13 PM JT-Woodshop: that goes for most things you take for granted when they work as designed
05:13 PM XXCoder: or as evolved yeah.
05:13 PM JT-Woodshop: I need to get some driving glasses

05:29 PM roycroft: and now i have some left-hand drills at the ready for the next time a situation like this comes up
05:29 PM XXCoder: always

05:30 PM Tom_L: JT-Shop, not today
05:31 PM JT-Shop: if you run flex and emc is not running it offers to copy the examples
