00:35 MrCurious not gonna tap that...
00:59 MrCurious delta motors mounted
00:59 Jak_o_Shadows nice
01:14 MrCurious tomorrow, passive wheels, then slide to belt mounts
01:18 MrCurious https://www.dropbox.com/s/fogq8b8de716k6s/2014-07-17%2022.58.31.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3zzgg1mty2gfy0/2014-07-17%2022.58.35.jpg
01:19 MrCurious lately, i am finding much of my evenings revolve around a variety of lengths of M6 hex socket bolts
03:36 raleigh hi
03:37 raleigh would it be feasible to attach a delta robot to a parallel cable system?
03:37 raleigh use the cables to move on a plane and the delta for more precise picking
03:38 raleigh or would a rail system be better than cables?
03:40 Tom_itx rail would be more rigid
10:01 robotustra MrCurious: morning
10:16 MrCurious morning robotustra
12:43 SquirrelCZECH_ ok
12:44 SquirrelCZECH_ the gas sensor reacts when I touch him
12:44 SquirrelCZECH_ with my fingers
12:44 SquirrelCZECH_ interesting
12:49 robotustra you emit some gas?
12:49 SquirrelCZECH_ well, it looks like
12:49 SquirrelCZECH_ I do
12:49 SquirrelCZECH_ :)
12:49 SquirrelCZECH_ http://squirrel.veverak.org/sc/Screenshot%20from%202014-07-18%2019:30:05.png
12:49 robotustra alcohol?
12:49 SquirrelCZECH_ down graph: after the 19:25 are my fingers
12:50 SquirrelCZECH_ the big hill after it are matches
12:50 SquirrelCZECH_ :)
12:50 robotustra show me your screenshot and I'll tell you who you are :)
12:51 uirrelCZECH_ wiped his tabs rece
12:51 SquirrelCZECH_ there was close to 20 before
12:51 SquirrelCZECH_ so, I suppose you are late to do that properly :P
12:51 robotustra I'm kidding
12:52 SquirrelCZECH_ :)
12:52 robotustra do you do electronick nose?
12:52 SquirrelCZECH_ electronick nose?
12:53 uirrelCZECH_ is happy he finished ajax stuff healthy, so doesn't really get anyt
12:54 robotustra #reprap is too fast for me
12:54 robotustra they discussing too much offtop for me
12:54 SquirrelCZECH_ as usual
12:54 SquirrelCZECH_ actually, that thingy I am building and testing
12:54 SquirrelCZECH_ is box.... for reprap :)
12:55 robotustra have pics?
12:55 SquirrelCZECH_ well
12:55 SquirrelCZECH_ I gout pic the arduino with sensors
12:55 SquirrelCZECH_ and few plates of plexi on ma desk
12:55 SquirrelCZECH_ ..
12:55 robotustra are you printing it?
12:56 SquirrelCZECH_ only mirror parts
12:56 robotustra I printed a cople of PLA parts
12:56 robotustra I like PLA more than ABS
12:56 SquirrelCZECH_ http://squirrel.veverak.org/printer/box.png
12:57 SquirrelCZECH_ bottom: piece of wood
12:57 SquirrelCZECH_ top: all plexi
12:57 SquirrelCZECH_ blue one (transparent in real) will be screwed to the base
12:57 SquirrelCZECH_ the transparent one will be removable
12:58 SquirrelCZECH_ some temperature sensors
12:58 SquirrelCZECH_ and gas detection which will shut down the printer :)
12:58 SquirrelCZECH_ righ on top of the electronics
13:00 robotustra ok, you want to keep temperature constant?
13:01 robotustra so it's just a fire alarm?
13:03 SquirrelCZECH_ well, yeah
13:03 SquirrelCZECH_ but I suppose some form of heating will be easy to implement in future
13:06 SquirrelCZECH_ robotustra: but I add this and I've got no problem of using it from web
13:07 robotustra I got it
13:08 robotustra you want to track what you print remotely
13:08 SquirrelCZECH_ yeah
13:08 SquirrelCZECH_ + constant temperature gives much better results
13:10 robotustra sure, I have to find better setup for PLA
13:11 robotustra really it prints very nice, but I want it better, for supports and overhanging parts
13:11 robotustra and may be bridges
13:12 robotustra I think the layer cooling is not so good
13:16 robotustra but it was standard rostock layer cooling housing
13:18 MrCurious so print spru's and grind them off after
13:19 robotustra what is spru?
13:58 Hyratel sprues
13:58 Hyratel sprue is usually the term for the injection channels
15:34 MrCurious sprue this!
23:51 MrCurious https://www.dropbox.com/s/amt0if43jbfnn8n/2014-07-18%2019.41.53.jpg hows itlooking?
23:51 MrCurious advanced enough to guess what it is yet?
23:52 Jak_o_Shadows Uh, from the first photo it was?
23:53 MrCurious aiming for a 3d printer...
23:53 MrCurious am i missing?
23:53 Jak_o_Shadows nope
