00:01 Tom_itx i'll go take a pic
00:03 rue_shop3 I set up a job with 2 on it, so the usage reading will be for two
00:03 rue_shop3 pullies?
00:06 rue_shop3 armyofevilrobots, out of curiosity, sometime I'd like to get a short peice of the 1.75 and try it in my head, I have the strange feeling it'll work ok
00:07 rue_shop3 :) I have an idea to try that filament drawing process by taking 3mm down to 1.75, so I should be able to return you a peice
00:07 rue_shop3 it would make sense to have 3mm as one of the sizes while going down to 1.75
00:14 Tom_itx went from this: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/new_pulleys/spindle_enc2.jpg
00:14 Tom_itx to this: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/new_pulleys/spindle_enc6.jpg
00:18 rue_shop3 ah, its... upside down
00:18 rue_shop3 ?
00:18 rue_shop3 any progress on a controller refit?
00:25 Tom_itx no
00:25 Tom_itx i turned the boss's off the pulleys to make them fit better
00:35 rue_shop3 Tom_itx, 1m of filament each
00:36 Tom_itx too much?
00:41 rue_shop3 na
00:44 rue_shop3 just a note, sometimes largeer pieces warp a bit becasue I dont ahve a heated bed
00:44 Tom_itx did you ever try that servo clip?
00:44 Tom_itx the wire end thingy
00:46 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/reprap/Servo_clip.jpg
00:46 Tom_itx that or this: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/reprap/Servo_clip_rnd.jpg
00:55 rue_shop3 not yet, its really small and I'v been noticing that small thingshave to be done diffrently
00:56 rue_shop3 you have to slow down the print, or the lower layers are still too soft
00:56 Tom_itx add a fan?
00:56 rue_shop3 and when you slow it down, a lot, you have to adjust the multiplier
00:56 rue_shop3 kinda
00:56 rue_shop3 I did forget, I'm getting quite a list of things to print
00:57 rue_shop3 were at 19% on your clips
00:57 Tom_itx doing 2 at once?
00:57 rue_shop3 it estimates an hour left
00:57 rue_shop3 yea
00:57 Tom_itx i just made a knob
00:57 Tom_itx for the hell of it
00:57 rue_shop3 heh
00:58 rue_shop3 did you see my knob?
00:58 Tom_itx took about 30 sec
00:58 Tom_itx yes
00:58 rue_shop3 i uzed noo skilz!
00:58 rue_shop3 never done a rotary extrusion before, came out nice
00:59 Tom_itx oh wow1
00:59 rue_shop3 I'm really surprised how far I'm able to take this dxf->scad thing
00:59 Tom_itx you edit the profile and the solid updates with it
00:59 rue_shop3 check out the dxf,
00:59 rue_shop3 not the preview
00:59 rue_shop3 download it
01:00 rue_shop3 http://www.thingiverse.com/download:978263
01:00 Tom_itx http://www.thingiverse.com/download:978263
01:00 rue_shop3 turn on the other layers
01:00 rue_shop3 because in scad you can select the layer your extruding, you can put a pile of extrusions in one file
01:03 Tom_L it didn't import right
01:03 rue_shop3 can you open it in a cad program?
01:03 Tom_L maybe it's there..
01:04 Tom_L that looks like a bullet
01:04 Tom_L not a knob
01:04 Tom_L i think it came in wrong
01:08 Tom_itx sleep time.
01:10 rue_shop3 Tom_itx, better msg me with your shipping
01:15 Tom_itx cost?
01:19 rue_shop3 no idea
01:19 rue_shop3 see if it weighs over 10g
01:39 rue_shop3 you know, its scarry, thingverse is adding about 10000 things a DAY
01:40 rue_shop3 Tom_itx, should be happen to be by the computer, look in the background of the 3rd image
01:40 rue_shop3 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:609532
02:15 rue_shop3 Tom_itx, their done
04:31 rue_shop3 huh, getting better at the rotary friction welding
04:31 rue_shop3 I bet that would work to fix the handle on my truck
04:33 rue_shop3 but it took 4x as long to print the pieces as it did to weld them up
04:39 Veverak fuuu
04:39 Veverak after-christms sales :)))
09:16 Tom_itx rue_shop3, nice one...
09:16 Tom_itx btw did those pcb clips work ok?
11:20 rue_bed Tom_itx, I went with a style like your first clip that I made up, the same little clip wokred for the 1/8-1/8 and holding the pcb's
16:18 rue_shop3 uh, thats not good
16:18 rue_shop3 my quarts extruder is shattered all over the bed
16:18 rue_shop3 something went really wrong
16:31 rue_shop3 well, this opens up opportunity for the rebuiding I wanted to do
16:46 rue_shop3 hmmm
16:46 rue_shop3 I think the black bits were from the steel disintegrating
16:54 GuShH rue_shop3: did it crash?
16:54 GuShH or was it thermal shock
16:54 GuShH we want pics
17:24 rue_shop3 I took a pic
17:24 rue_shop3 I dont know
17:25 rue_shop3 I heard crunching and the quartz was vertically shattered
17:25 rue_shop3 and the filament was sticking thru the side
17:25 rue_shop3 I"m rebuilding, chaning the transition bolt from steel to stainless
17:26 rue_shop3 and fixing the sensor location
17:26 rue_shop3 and the wires...
17:26 rue_shop3 I dont think this head was made when I had a lathe
17:30 rue_shop3 I'm just about to do that extra tweek to a piece I been working on for a while that wrecks it
20:30 rue_more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Fkhz2G9Is
20:30 rue_more in less than 5 minutes, I think this guy says "plastic" about 150 times
20:42 Tom_itx haha
20:43 Tom_itx rue_shop3, what happened to the extruder head??
20:44 Tom_itx maybe it didn't like the heat cycles?
