06:16 Jak_o_Shadows nice
06:18 deshipu gay cube?
06:18 RifRaf heh
06:19 deshipu paint it black
06:19 RifRaf ok :/
06:21 deshipu RifRaf: but seriously, you changed the wire manually?
06:21 RifRaf no automatically
06:22 RifRaf printing more shapes now that cube works
06:22 Jak_o_Shadows Rif, do you have a cross-section, or a cut-away view of the triplestruder?
06:23 RifRaf to show the filament path?
06:23 Jak_o_Shadows yeah.
06:23 Jak_o_Shadows I'm just wondering how you cleanly actually change filament.
06:23 RifRaf no images at moment, will try make something, i guess nettfabb whould let me
06:23 RifRaf can email the stls if you like
06:24 Jak_o_Shadows Are you just working in openscad or something?
06:25 RifRaf yes
06:27 Jak_o_Shadows Hnng, I wish it were possible for a CAD program to load openscad files.
06:27 Jak_o_Shadows nice and parametric like
06:28 Jak_o_Shadows That way you could pull dimensions in, doing drawings nicely, do section views all nice.
06:30 RifRaf pretty sure netfabb does a nice job on stls
06:49 Tom_itx Jak_o_Shadows, solidworks will
06:49 Tom_itx stl at least
06:51 Jak_o_Shadows Inventor imports stl as well, but not nicely
06:51 Jak_o_Shadows You can't go around and change things.
06:52 Tom_itx that's at least one good reason i don't like scad
06:53 Jak_o_Shadows yup. I had to use blender the other day to play with an stl
