00:47 MrCurious anyone heard of grimes? or Brooke Candy?
01:02 Curious hushes the channel like a angry naughty libra

01:06 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/motor/p1050279.jpg
01:07 MrCurious you are now 2% complete on teh task of making your own lathe
01:07 rue_house no its a motor
01:09 rue_house I used the lathe to make the brush holders, commutator holder and commutator board
09:32 GuShH rue_house should've used the lathe for the windings as well!
09:33 GuShH gives you perfect windings all the time, and springs too.
09:33 GuShH dang it. 40x40 square pipe isn't cheap compared to 20x20 (mm)
09:33 GuShH it's about 3 times more expensive in fact, but it's 2mm thick instead of 1.6mm
09:34 GuShH I think 20x20x1.6mm will do
09:58 GuShH 20x20x1.6 it is, got a very nice quote on 24 meters of the stuff, plus some sheet metal in 1.6mm
09:58 GuShH free shipping, so it couldn't be better
09:59 GuShH I think they're combining shipping with other orders, so that's why it's free.
10:00 GuShH Looks like it's all new stock, it's not recycled or anything, but I wonder if it'll come with some rust anyway. I've seen they paint old / recycled stock with rust converter, it's cheaper but has dings everywhere, etc.
10:12 GuShH Still, not convinced at 20x20... I wanted 40x40
13:27 GuShH rue_house: I think this is the final design http://gushh.net/tmp/lathe%20stand%20mk15p2.png --- http://gushh.net/tmp/lathe%20stand%20mk15.png ---
13:27 GuShH we'll see if I order the sheet metal or just leave it open frame for now, the idea was to rivet on 1mm thick sheets all around to cover up the columns
13:45 MrCurious happy america day!
14:02 GuShH MrCurious: ok?
14:02 MrCurious now give us snowden
14:02 GuShH nevar
14:03 GuShH I'll give you snowmen though. but I'll have to call the north pole first.
14:04 MrCurious same thing right...
14:14 GuShH MrCurious: no likey my lathe stand?
14:15 MrCurious looking
14:16 MrCurious the blue 3d model?
14:16 GuShH yeah
14:16 MrCurious wood or metal
14:16 GuShH 40x40x2mm square tubing, steel.
14:16 MrCurious you have a welder?
14:16 GuShH sure.
14:16 MrCurious looks good
14:17 GuShH I'll probably have most of the parts cut by sunday
14:17 MrCurious teh 2 pilars going to have shelves and doors?
14:17 GuShH if they deliver on saturday
14:17 GuShH yeah
14:17 GuShH haven't decided how to do them yet
14:17 GuShH on one side ideally I would like to store a small coolant container and pump
14:18 GuShH the rest of the space would be for chucks and tooling. no drawers, I've never made a steel drawer... I think I'd be complicating myself
14:18 GuShH it's already quite complex
14:18 GuShH I can always add it later.
14:19 MrCurious dont make a drawer
14:19 GuShH so it's a 3 piece design not counting the swarf tray, I'll either mount them with nuts and bolts or with a few tack welds
14:19 MrCurious make a sheet of steel that slides out on drawer slides like for kitchen
14:19 GuShH meh, based on the remaining materials I'll see what I can come up with
14:19 MrCurious you can make magnetic mount holders for the chucks
14:19 GuShH I need to order some sheet metal and L profiles to finish up the entrance gate...
14:20 GuShH MrCurious: you are going way overkill now!
14:20 GuShH plus the chucks are several kilograms each
14:20 GuShH I'd rather they sit on shelves
14:20 GuShH if I cover it up in sheet metal (1mm, riveted) I won't have to cap the square tubing on the sides, so that's less work for me.
14:21 GuShH 34 cuts for the structure
14:22 MrCurious sounds fun
14:23 GuShH not really
14:23 MrCurious challenge is fun
14:23 GuShH I should order some extra steel though
14:23 MrCurious work brings sense of worth
14:23 GuShH I'd rather buy it, but nobody has it.
14:23 MrCurious oh yeah!
14:23 MrCurious 4 day weekend. need to stock up on metal
14:23 GuShH It's not terribly expensive though
14:23 GuShH possibly a bit over 100 bucks for everything
14:24 GuShH I think the real stand goes for 250 bucks
14:24 GuShH in the US
14:25 MrCurious wonder what shipping and taxes on that would be
14:27 GuShH better not think about it.
14:27 GuShH MrCurious: I get free shipping on the steel though
14:27 GuShH So yey.
14:28 MrCurious thats a win
14:28 GuShH yep, delivered to my door
14:28 MrCurious since you can work with steel, you should make a 12' bipedal battle-bot
14:28 GuShH I should?
14:28 MrCurious *nods*
14:28 GuShH Let me check my robotics budget....
14:28 GuShH $0
14:29 MrCurious god damn planet aint gonna subjugate itself...
14:29 GuShH :(
14:29 GuShH Plus where am I going to get a V12 from?
14:29 MrCurious when i say shit like that, i ponder the safety of me working with robots...
14:29 GuShH It's fine.
14:29 MrCurious gas powered robot?
14:30 GuShH Reminds me of that gas powered "dog"
14:30 GuShH Haven't decided on the floor mounts yet
14:30 GuShH Maybe I'll scavange some thick plate steel and cut small triangles
14:31 GuShH Since it's so top heavy, it has to either have a bigger footprint or it has to be bolted to the floor
14:35 MrCurious perhaps each pilar sbould come to corner points
14:35 MrCurious so it bites into the concrete
14:35 MrCurious to keep it from roaming around the shop
14:35 MrCurious unless you are going to anchor it with bolts
14:39 GuShH MrCurious: corner points?
14:40 GuShH the smaller the point of contact, the higher the stress on the surfaces
14:40 MrCurious thats the goal
14:40 MrCurious to bite into the concrete
14:40 GuShH but that's a bad design!
14:40 MrCurious if you have flat bottoms, the vibration on the lathe will likely make it race around like a washing amchine
14:41 GuShH all stands come with typically one bolt mount per corner, and ideally you want to use spacers / shims underneath
14:41 GuShH to get the bed level
14:41 GuShH You can actually use rubber mats / feet in this case, it's not that big of a load (200-300KG)
14:41 GuShH rue has his on caster wheels I think
14:42 GuShH MrCurious: there shouldn't be much vibration anyway
14:45 MrCurious ok
14:46 GuShH If it wobbles I can always add these http://gushh.net/tmp/lathe%20stand%20mk15_feet.png
14:48 GuShH adds 1.4 meters to the BOM though
14:49 GuShH sorry, that'll be 4.6 foot.
14:49 ShH eyer
15:42 MrCurious http://rogerunwin.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/mechanical-instructional-navigationally-independent-omnidirectional-node/
15:46 GuShH MrCurious: and, what's the end result? where can I se it
15:46 GuShH see*
15:46 MrCurious work in progress
15:47 GuShH is it yours?
15:47 MrCurious yeah
15:47 GuShH So I must erase the insults.
15:47 MrCurious by all means insult away
15:47 MrCurious i am a big boy
15:47 MrCurious and i insult others
15:47 GuShH No... I was going to mention how some people spend a lot of time coming up with clever acronyms but end up having nothing to show for them
15:47 MrCurious and if you dont insult me, then i am just a mean person. if you do insult me, then i am a friend :)
15:48 ShH facep
15:48 MrCurious you can look at the build pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/89612859@N04/sets/72157633649491054/
15:48 MrCurious but you have seen them
15:48 MrCurious and the acronym was only an hour or two's work
15:48 GuShH haha
15:48 MrCurious really wanted to call it minion
15:49 GuShH that's a lot of ultrasonic
15:49 GuShH but where's the drilldo?
15:50 GuShH MrCurious: wouldn't a laser range finder be simpler?
15:50 GuShH for 360°
15:51 GuShH can you actually analyze the inputs of all sensors at once?, why not have a single pair spinning?
15:51 GuShH and.. and..
15:52 MrCurious its a learning process
15:52 MrCurious a first try
15:52 MrCurious the second one will be WAY less stupid
15:52 MrCurious the goal was to make all the mistakes, and get that part out of the way
15:53 GuShH I didn't say stupid
15:53 GuShH I'm curious so I ask.
15:53 GuShH Perhaps rotating a pair of ultrasonic transducers would yield other issues
15:54 MrCurious i considered a spinning one and figured the motor would take more energy
15:54 GuShH there's a point where the input will be "teared"
15:54 GuShH Hmm not sure how much power each module consumes
15:54 GuShH or if you'll have them all powered at once
15:54 GuShH (maybe a low power mode could use only half of the array?)
15:54 GuShH one on, one off, one on...
15:55 GuShH or actually rotate the power, how's that for complicating things?
15:55 MrCurious rev 2 may replace that with a rotating array
15:56 MrCurious especially if i can work out how to rotate it with 4 wires so it can continous spin and not have to scan back and fourth
15:57 GuShH have 4 static rings, one for each wire... and 4 moving contacts on top of them
15:57 MrCurious suppose i could use a 4 lead sub mini jack
15:57 MrCurious as the bottom rotation bearing
15:57 GuShH it will eventually wear, as do carbons on universal brushed motors :p
15:57 GuShH that would work, but not for long
15:57 GuShH the contacts inside are thin, they would wear out after several hours
15:59 MrCurious hmmmm
15:59 MrCurious i would worry that noise will be introduced by non constant contact
15:59 MrCurious someone must have a good solution to this
16:00 MrCurious suppose i could send in 2 power, and a serial out...
16:00 MrCurious and use checksums to detect transmission errors
16:02 robotustra hi
16:03 MrCurious good afternoon
16:04 robotustra :)
16:07 GuShH robotustra: final design http://gushh.net/tmp/lathe%20stand%20mk15p2.png
16:07 GuShH 40x40x2mm square tubing.
16:08 GuShH I bet he still thinks it's not a good design
16:08 robotustra now it's looks like more relevant
16:09 GuShH I told you before, I was just trying out ideas, now I have a quote on the actual steel, managed to get free shipping... and I'm just finalizing the design
16:09 GuShH still 3 parts like before, but I redesigned the top portion
16:10 GuShH robotustra: you reckon I should use 45° cuts for the top?
16:10 GuShH tends to waste material that's why I went with all 90°
16:16 robotustra I think there will be enough of stregth
16:16 robotustra 45 - is just difficult to cut and adjust
16:21 GuShH robotustra: it's designed to withstand 3 americans.
16:23 robotustra 3 == 4?
16:23 ShH no com
16:23 robotustra do you mean that canadian unable to assemble it?
16:23 robotustra ah
16:23 GuShH I mean it can hold 3 fat dudes.
16:23 robotustra I see
16:24 robotustra yep
16:24 robotustra I got
16:24 GuShH stereotypes...
16:24 MrCurious it can hold 3 americans?
16:24 GuShH totally
16:24 MrCurious how about 3 texans
16:24 robotustra 3 americans which eats donuts
16:24 GuShH hey I like donuts
16:24 MrCurious texans are bigger
16:24 GuShH what about tennessee?
16:24 Tom_itx we're not all as fat as we're stereotyped to be
16:25 robotustra MrCurious I thought texas is also america
16:25 GuShH who says all stereotypes are based on reality?
16:25 Tom_itx nobody
16:25 MrCurious its a special case
16:25 MrCurious like that french bit of canada that nobody wants
16:25 robotustra yep, say it to hollywood produssers
16:25 GuShH Pfft. It would've been way funnier to say "it can hold 90 mexicans"
16:25 GuShH but the stand would've been stolen beforehand.
16:25 MrCurious only 90, thats not much
16:25 GuShH badam-tish
16:26 MrCurious now for the really important question... what color will you paint it
16:26 GuShH hot pink.
16:26 MrCurious with flames?
16:26 MrCurious or will the flame be using it
16:26 GuShH hello kitty flames
16:27 GuShH (with hearts, stars... and shiet)
16:27 MrCurious that could catch on... hello kitty branded heavy machinery
16:27 GuShH there are a couple chainsaws themed like that
16:28 GuShH how cool is that? http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=671db3d504dbd232b31d4a9eff67f9b1&prevstart=36
16:29 robotustra have to finish falling skies
16:30 GuShH MrCurious: why is the color relevant at all?
16:31 GuShH either marine grey or I'll just match the original blue, I won't stress over that...
16:32 MrCurious color is always the first thing a boss will criticize when reviewing your program or web site
16:32 GuShH no boss here
16:32 GuShH the original stand is blue...
16:34 GuShH red would work, but I'll have to repaint the swarf tray. why are you making things so difficult!
16:40 MrCurious because you are letting me.
16:41 GuShH I am?
16:41 Tom_itx multi colored
16:43 robotustra rainbow lathe
16:45 GuShH If there's something I can't stand is cleaning up the spray guns, specially to change color.
16:45 GuShH very, very annoying.
16:46 MrCurious you could veneer it in a nice wood grain instead of painting it
16:47 MrCurious finish it with a few coats of tung oil
17:08 GuShH MrCurious: lol
17:08 GuShH I should powder coat it instead, right?
17:08 GuShH and then dip it in camo
17:09 GuShH that'll be the first camouflaged lathe stand evar.
17:30 MrCurious i like that idea
17:30 MrCurious i was thinking camo, but more to make it invisible in the shop, rather than in a jungle...
17:31 MrCurious so the lathe stand looks like the wall behind, or like a drill press
17:34 robotustra test
17:36 robotustra ura
17:46 MrCurious yay! back strain
17:46 MrCurious these drawers are too full
17:47 GuShH MrCurious: of?
17:48 MrCurious robot parts
17:48 MrCurious my robot parts hoard
17:48 GuShH isn't that a good thing?
17:48 GuShH unless you are married
17:49 MrCurious just very heavy to move it 6 feet
18:02 GuShH MrCurious: bah, always whining!
18:06 robotustra GuShH: he dissasemble his robot every night and put it into chest of coffins because he warry that it can kill him in the night and escape
18:06 MrCurious where is the camera!
18:06 MrCurious how do you know@!
18:06 robotustra :)
18:07 robotustra because I do the same :)
18:07 MrCurious so your robot knows how to say "i come in pieces" instead of i come in peace
18:08 robotustra you know, If I understand all your jokes - I whould die of laugh
18:09 MrCurious nah, i have friends who do, and they are very alive
18:15 robotustra theBear: I have a years of practice, so.. :)
19:06 GuShH robotustra: LOL
19:07 robotustra gotta eat something
19:35 GuShH robotustra: some through hole resistors with diode sauce?
19:35 GuShH oh and homemade fried capacitors on the side
19:35 GuShH yum
19:39 robotustra no, my wife know how to cook
19:39 GuShH you don't?
19:40 GuShH why the hell is the square tubing cheaper than the sheet metal
19:40 robotustra I think because of crossection
19:41 robotustra it's needed more energy and time to flat the peace of metal
19:41 GuShH the 1x2 meter sheet isn't terribly expensive, but I don't know yet if all the parts can be cut out of one sheet
19:42 GuShH plus the dude is just a salesperson, doesn't know anything about welding, structures, etc.
19:42 GuShH in fact I don't think they have the L profiles I wanted for another project... sigh
19:42 GuShH another issue is that when they ship out materials, they have to be whole, they can't cut them.
19:43 GuShH say I need 15 meters of 40x40, I'm forced to buy 18 meters
19:43 GuShH (comes in 6 meter lengths)
19:44 robotustra bonus
19:44 GuShH no, I'm paying for it.
19:45 GuShH of course the remaining is always useful for other projects
19:45 GuShH but still, annoying.
19:45 GuShH you do know I'm on a budget right? heh
19:45 robotustra are you working as a industrial designer?
19:46 GuShH no, this is for me, why?
19:46 robotustra to serious approach
19:46 robotustra too
19:46 GuShH none of what I've been talking about has commercial purpose / application
19:46 GuShH I told you I have OCD, but aside from that I don't want to risk my investment, that is the lathe falling or getting damaged
19:48 ShH stares at the 1x2 meter sheet metal on his CAD wi
19:48 GuShH that's big.
19:50 robotustra :)
20:03 rue_house that you?
20:03 GuShH wha?
20:05 rue_house could someone skype ruenahcmohr for me
20:05 Tom_itx if i had it installed on this pc yea
20:06 GuShH It's not installed here either
20:06 rue_house heh
20:06 GuShH who needs skype pfft
20:06 rue_house how the hell am I supposed to know if this works if nobody else can get it working/
20:06 Tom_itx and i have no mic on any of em
20:07 GuShH I'm not sure if it's going to install a bunch of crap
20:07 Tom_itx hers did until it crashed now i don't even know if it's there
20:07 rue_house *sigh*
20:08 GuShH I could try on a VM though
20:08 Tom_itx i could type on a terminal maybe
20:08 GuShH Smoke signals would work too
20:08 rue_house dont worry about it..
20:08 Tom_itx not even sure what my pass is
20:08 theBear hmmm, my mic, err, and my camera aren't plugged in
20:08 GuShH bah "panelling" sheet metal is worse than doing it with PCBs
20:08 theBear where IS my mic ?
20:08 GuShH theBear: I can't lie like that
20:08 GuShH they are built in ... laptop
20:08 theBear but it's true !
20:09 GuShH lol
20:09 theBear oh, that probly works too
20:09 theBear it's right there pointing at me
20:09 theBear but does it know how to login to skype ?
20:09 GuShH no that's my finger
20:09 GuShH pull it
20:09 GuShH do it nao
20:09 theBear errrm no
20:09 GuShH why not?
20:10 theBear fingers sore :)
20:10 GuShH bah need to reboot the vm
20:10 GuShH "a previous installation blabla we suck"
20:10 Tom_itx rue_house, i just typed a message to you
20:10 rue_house oh go d now everyones is walking to me
20:10 GuShH I should get a pedo-bear costume
20:11 Tom_itx you _did_ ask for it
20:11 theBear wow
20:11 GuShH wahwah
20:11 GuShH lots of left over sheet metal... that's not good
20:12 theBear hehe i can hear a rue
20:13 GuShH suddenly everyone has skype!
20:16 theBear i had it for ages, just noone else
20:16 eBear walks to
20:17 GuShH crap
20:18 theBear rue_house, when yer got a minute.. music http://testing.rememberit.com.au/pics/loungeroom/
20:19 rue_house what happened to fucking.?
20:19 theBear it's around...
20:19 GuShH o.o
20:19 theBear i just err, got sidetracker
20:20 theBear d
20:20 robotustra rue_house: do you have a storm on Rive Sud?
20:21 theBear i actually own ALL of rememberit now... you can email me @fucking :)
20:24 GuShH this is annoying...
20:25 GuShH theBear: that's a lot of gear
20:25 GuShH so I can get 3 small metal sheets and get almost all of my cuts in, except two of them get clipped and would need some kludge work
20:25 theBear nah, that's the rational modern version :)
20:25 theBear but at least most of it's plugged in at the moment
20:26 GuShH or I can get one big sheet, one medium sheet... and fit it all, have spare metal... but, costs as much as an extra 6 meters of the structural tube
20:26 GuShH theBear: humming and generating heat? :p
20:27 theBear hehe i see a rue
20:29 GuShH http://gushh.net/tmp/sheetpanel1.png :/
20:30 GuShH quick fit, but it's obvious I'll either have to join cuts to obtain the full lengths or .. .spend more on the bigger sheets
20:32 robotustra theBear: now text is not enough to do love?
20:32 GuShH o.O
20:32 GuShH robotustra: suggestions?
20:32 theBear hehe do love eh ? it's enough, but i aint seen a rue for a few years
20:32 GuShH is the rue on his natural habitat?
20:33 GuShH remember the rue is just as afraid of you as you are of the rue!
20:33 rue_house http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4X-EMAX-CF2822-1200KV-Outrunner-Brushless-Motor-for-RC-Helicopter-Airplane-RC-Model-4-axis-UFO/867045380.html
20:34 GuShH robotustra: sheet sizes are the 3 blank ones
20:34 GuShH 8 sides for the stand, the rest are for another project.
20:35 GuShH I thought about not cutting the sides and instead bending them (3x) but that can get ugly real fast if I mess up one bend

21:07 MrCurious amazing. ultra fire batteries keep advertizing higher and higher mah
21:07 rue_house yea
21:08 rue_house I'll test it, see what it really is
21:12 robotustra why this battaries are so cheep?
21:13 MrCurious i thought ultrafire licensed its name to EVERYONE
21:15 GuShH robotustra: they are used laptop cells
21:15 GuShH rebadged and sold as new
21:15 GuShH robotustra: I've tested mine, they were way lower capacity, no pairs had the same capacity...
21:15 GuShH the theory isn't far off reality then
21:15 GuShH I've heard about rejects being sold like this as well
21:16 GuShH From china, you can't be surprised...
21:36 GuShH robotustra: how efficient was the sound insulation on your mill?
21:40 robotustra it works very good for hi frequencies
21:40 robotustra but for low frewuencies I did other thing
21:41 robotustra I installed a platform on tennis balls

21:41 GuShH lol
21:42 GuShH wilsssoooon!!!
21:42 robotustra I have to change them
21:42 MrCurious what ARE they
21:42 robotustra they are soft
21:42 MrCurious ammo for a tennis-gun
21:42 GuShH because what gives a tennis ball it's stiffness is the pressure inside
21:42 GuShH :p
21:42 MrCurious the bore on them would qualify them as WMD
21:42 GuShH lol
21:43 GuShH ever wondered why they come in a sealed can?, that's the reason... in time it leaks out
21:44 robotustra so, now it works now not lauder than jet printer when milling aluminium with 1/8" mill
21:45 robotustra but I think this balls loose air
21:45 robotustra I have to replace them with something
21:46 robotustra when I first install them - it was so silent work, I was amaized
21:46 theBear weight in the platform helps a lot, absorbs the energy... also things like a layer of carpet underlay, some kinda wood, repeat can work very well
21:46 robotustra now it's a bit lauder, but still there is an improvement
21:46 theBear and by weight, i mean a ton or two of sand in a frame
21:46 robotustra :)
21:47 robotustra my mill is about 40kg with vise
21:47 theBear oh, just a few hundred kgs then
21:47 robotustra the platform - is a piece of wood
21:47 GuShH heh
21:47 robotustra 24"x 14"
21:47 robotustra 5/8"
21:47 GuShH even the chinese mills weigh 90KG!
21:48 GuShH (the small ones)
21:48 robotustra I don't care
21:48 GuShH "but mine is better hum!"
21:48 GuShH "it's strong like russia"
21:48 ShH nudges robotu
21:48 robotustra mine is definetly lighter
21:48 GuShH with these things lighter = bad
21:48 robotustra I can cary it in hands
21:48 GuShH you want the absolute biggest heaviest mill you can get
21:49 GuShH it's like the hummer.
21:49 robotustra no, I want to finish falling skies tonight :)
22:13 MrCurious they are still making more episodes...
22:16 GuShH falling skies? what kind of gay crap is that?
22:16 MrCurious the earth, conquored... by creatures smarter than us
22:22 robotustra he has no time on this
22:22 robotustra let him work
22:26 GuShH huh
22:27 GuShH crap
22:27 GuShH MrCurious: bah sounds boring
22:28 GuShH I need a clever design for a mulcher... I got a spare motor and will have some spare steel, I should make one for the garden.
22:59 MrCurious a mulcher...
22:59 MrCurious sure you could do it with a few laer qquipted sharks
23:03 MrCurious laser equipted sharks
23:10 GuShH MrCurious: not really
23:11 GuShH also http://bbs.5imx.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=679225 awesome stuff
23:11 theBear equipped
23:11 GuShH a chinese making a chinese lathe better
23:11 GuShH wooooooot
23:11 GuShH I actually like the idea of the bearing
23:11 GuShH instead of the bare shaft
23:34 rue_house ah, because otherwise you have to adjust the motor to tighten that
23:37 rue_house hey, in that second image
23:37 rue_house no, I thought it was left hand thread
