00:19 GargantuaSauce what are you looking for
00:19 LoRez hobbyking maybe?
00:19 GargantuaSauce most of mine are from dx/aliexpress/ebay
01:13 rue_more hobby servos are only switchy if your not operating them carefully
01:15 rue_more f00bar80, did you take the motor off your arm and get the joiunt working so we can work out how to remotirize it for you?
01:22 rue_more badger, badger, badger, badger...
01:40 GargantuaSauce glue gun burns are the worst
02:21 RifRaf GargantuaSauce, have the triple extruder working
02:24 GargantuaSauce yeah i saw, cool stuff man
02:25 GargantuaSauce are you just going to use it for multicolour prints or are you going to try out one of the soluble support materials?
02:25 RifRaf yep pretty happy it worked, now just need to get better software support for them
02:26 RifRaf am going to try multi material soon
02:26 RifRaf only problem with other materials for infill etc are that they still cost as much
02:26 RifRaf so might recycle old failures and make recycled filament for infill, that would save money
02:26 GargantuaSauce yeah since the cost is all in the filament production
02:26 RifRaf and use up all the priming towers
04:34 password2 so which of you will give me a lathe ;)
05:06 GargantuaSauce get in line, dude
05:23 password2 oh theres a line
05:23 ssword2 stands in the
05:23 password2 meh
05:24 password2 gotta go
05:24 GargantuaSauce i'll hold your place
06:00 password2 ok
06:01 password2 i just want a 10" one
11:35 f00bar80 rue_more, what do you mean by get the joint working? the joint's beams ar connected with a screw on one side, and should be the horn on the other.
11:56 rue_bed remove the motor from your joint
11:56 rue_bed all togethor
11:56 rue_bed then add the motor so that it is not part of the joint
11:58 f00bar80 rue_bed, https://www.dropbox.com/s/dk9le1pububc57g/2014-03-20%2020.58.43.jpg this is the joint without a motor
11:58 rue_bed just woke up (darn sunshine) give me a min,........
11:59 f00bar80 rue_bed, sure
12:05 GuShH rue_bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXRgDVnxsRs
12:05 GuShH that's so nice
12:06 GuShH err wrong link
12:06 GuShH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oL-XcKPiKg
12:06 GuShH that one.
12:06 GuShH I was looking for the 45 sized machine videos, but that popped up
12:06 GuShH he used a pneumatic wrench
12:07 GuShH I like that better than the spring loaded pneumatic cylinder system
12:07 GuShH at least you know it's a nut holding it, not just springs
12:11 GuShH " As a Sieg "Super" X2 owner, I find the concept of a BF30 owner being a "poor man" to be a bit of an oxymoron. Other than that, very nice. "Liked.""
12:11 GuShH hah they are cheap tools, both
12:17 rue_more f00bar80, does it move easily?
12:17 rue_more it looks stuck where it is
12:18 rue_more GuShH, russian
12:24 GuShH rue_more: what?
12:24 GuShH who is russian
12:24 GuShH and why is that relevant to the quick change
12:24 GuShH that guy is dutch though
12:24 ShH bl
12:24 GuShH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bu-MqssD3I
12:25 GuShH hrmm why did he keep the spring
12:27 f00bar80 rue_more, yea it's completely very loose
12:29 f00bar80 rue_more, it looks stuc cause i fixed the screws to show the joint moved up
12:30 f00bar80 rue_more, stuck*
12:30 f00bar80 rue_more, how then i add the motor so that it is not part of the joint?
12:56 rue_more do you know how to lock two screws togethor to make it so they cant lock?
13:53 MrCurious i didnt see it coming, but in the space of 1/2 hour, my dek became insanely cluttered
13:53 MrCurious desk
14:08 GuShH rue_more: http://mla-s2-p.mlstatic.com/ventilador-antiguo-no-funciona-13629-MLA20079362429_042014-F.jpg things used to be rugged, to say the least. You see the shit they put out now adays? you sneeze and it snaps in half.
14:09 GuShH plus that's design, not the plastic shit of today.
14:10 GuShH I blame plastic for most problems.
14:10 Tom_itx i blame you
14:10 GuShH Tom_itx: plastic sucks.
14:10 Tom_itx yessir
14:11 GuShH screw driver broke? plastic handle. condom broke?, that's a plastic also. your wife spends all your money?, credit cards are plastic.
14:11 GuShH fish contaminated?, they eat plastic.
14:11 GuShH kid spends all day long huffing ABS fumes?, repraps print plastic.
14:12 GuShH your car makes squeaky noises, even though it's brand new?, plastic!
14:12 Tom_itx not always
14:12 GuShH most noises are plastic rubbing against plastic
14:13 GuShH the more you pay for your car, the more foam they place in between plastic parts.
14:14 GuShH Tom_itx: sure, if it's a smart the only noise it makes is "kill me, kill me now"
14:14 GuShH nobody could identify that hand vise
14:14 GuShH not even archivist!
14:15 GuShH this is all I got http://www.wkfinetools.com/huk/z-ukreading/gtweedale/WmGreaves.pdf
15:09 GuShH mhhh sexy http://mla-s1-p.mlstatic.com/fresadora-universal-venier-fu-2-completa--12691-MLA20063482375_032014-F.jpg
15:19 robopal I am confused
15:20 robopal let me try
15:21 robopal is it a lathe that can also rotate its table?
15:22 GuShH robopal: no?
15:22 GuShH milling machine with dividing head.
15:23 GuShH aka indexing head.
15:23 GuShH the tailstock is used for longer parts, or just holding them between centers instead of using a chuck.
15:24 GuShH it's a 4th axis.
15:24 GuShH just looking at alternatives, that costs less than a chinky ZX-45 which is nuts.
15:25 GuShH robopal: maybe it's odd to you since it's universal and it doesn't have the vertical head installed, just the horizontal bar.
15:25 GuShH you might be used to looking at turret mills, not universals
15:25 robopal yeah thats what I was going to say, I saw no vertical head and I was clueless haha
15:25 GuShH afaik that doesn't have a tailstock, what you see is part of a china lathe on the left
15:26 GuShH http://mla-s1-p.mlstatic.com/fresadora-universal-venier-fu-2-completa--12680-MLA20063482647_032014-F.jpg
15:26 GuShH you can see the horizontal milling cutter installed there
15:26 GuShH spacers are placed to locate it wherever you want it
15:26 robopal http://www.manioudakis-machines.gr/images/products/l_82343.JPG
15:26 GuShH nice machine, not fully complete... but that's a real milling machine, compared to the chinesey ones
15:27 GuShH robopal: that's the same but you can see it's got the vertical head installed
15:27 GuShH and the bridge retracted
15:27 GuShH well same style.
15:27 robopal yep
15:27 GuShH the heads alone are expensive, if it's not included...
15:28 GuShH anyway the machine is too far away and I think he's missing the vertical head.
15:28 GuShH the further away you are from destination, the higher the chances of damaging the machine during transport...
15:29 GuShH either that or things going missing.
15:31 GuShH I must say.. I don't know what two of the accessories are http://mla-s1-p.mlstatic.com/fresadora-universal-n-1-darje-13427-MLA20078016788_042014-F.jpg
15:32 ShH nudges Tom
15:32 GuShH indexing head with 3 jaw chuck, next to ???, followed by tailstock, next to ???
15:32 GuShH some collet holders and spacers sprinkled around
16:31 robotustra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pDs9NbTkdI
16:33 GargantuaSauce um
16:33 GargantuaSauce what.
16:35 robotustra Kraftwerk
17:24 GuShH GargantuaSauce: simply the kind of thing that would make me want to violenty hurt them for being such academic cunts.
17:27 GuShH robotustra: die.
17:45 Tom_itx i hate FF new tabs
18:15 robotustra Tom_itx: It's what I alway say: DO NOT MODIFY UI. Idiots from IT do not understand that
18:22 GuShH they want to be more like chrome.
18:22 GuShH because people have been moving out of ff.
18:27 Tom_itx is chrome ok?
18:27 Tom_itx never used t
18:27 Tom_itx it
18:27 Tom_itx MS makes sure FF loads really slow too
18:31 Triffid_Hunter Tom_itx: I find that chrome is ludicrously fast esp with javascript stuff, but sorely lacking in configuration options
18:41 f00bar80 rue_more, how to lock two screws togethor to make it so they cant lock?
18:42 GuShH Triffid_Hunter: uses google's own js engine
18:42 GuShH which is kinda nice
18:43 Triffid_Hunter GuShH: they merged the 3rd party V8 engine a bit ago, so not google's own afaik
18:43 GuShH it's all google's now
18:44 GuShH google will soon own you!
18:46 GuShH Tom_itx: it's ok... I find it as RAM hungry as FF though
18:46 Triffid_Hunter heh I find it massively worse.. at least I can set FF to unload tabs after a while
18:46 Triffid_Hunter whereas chrome will happily eat 5GB of ram within a day or so
18:46 GuShH no, you eat it because you keep opening new tabs !
18:47 GuShH there's probably an obscure option to unload them
18:47 Triffid_Hunter GuShH: well if it can't handle 50+ tabs without being a pita, it's useless to me
18:49 Triffid_Hunter GuShH: http://triffid-hunter.no-ip.info/ff.png is fairly typical for me ;)
18:49 GuShH you have problems.
18:50 ShH signs up Triffid_Hunter for tab addiction reco
19:06 rue_more f00bar80, you put two nuts on the bolt, and tighten them against each other, while leaving the metal between them loose
19:07 rue_more f00bar80, I can make you up a picture if you like
19:13 f00bar80 rue_more, yes please if you don't mind, and how then i can put the servo
19:43 GargantuaSauce Triffid_Hunter: chrome://flags
19:43 GargantuaSauce if you're complaining about a lack of configuration for the internals
19:43 GargantuaSauce ui stuff yeah, pretty fixed
21:46 f00bar80 rue_more, ??
21:47 rue_more hold up, I'm going laundry
21:51 f00bar80 k
23:15 rue_more f00bar80, ok, so, the idea is that you put the bolt thru, put one nut on so that it dosnt' tighten against the metal, and then you put a second nut on, holding the first in plce and tightening the second
23:15 rue_more they will lock togethor on the bolt
23:19 rue_more f00bar80, http://mymilescity.com/how-to-miscellaneous/lock_nuts_to_bolts.html << 'using a second nut'
23:20 rue_more f00bar80, do you have any meccano pullies?
23:24 rue_more GuShH, looks like a horrizontal support, and a draw head?
23:30 rue_more its interesting how the older a machine is, the more you hve to reconfigure the machine for any particular task
23:55 MrCurious i dont know that i can call tonight a win. set out to quiet imac fan. blew dust out. now instead of 1 fan max-speeding, i have 2 max speeding. i created a desk-vac
