[01:27:45] <rue_shop3> I just couldn't work out how to clamp on to this pipe and then it struck me
[01:27:48] <rue_shop3> PIPE CLAMP!
[01:35:32] <Jak_o_Shadows> haha.
[01:35:49] <Jak_o_Shadows> I have an iron that is broken half apart at the moment.
[01:35:53] <Jak_o_Shadows> I'm lacking the pipe clamp to fix it
[01:50:29] <rue_shop3> hmm
[01:50:52] <rue_shop3> it wasn't hot enough so you pushed hard to dig in the heat and it gave out?
[01:51:03] <rue_shop3> maybe you should get a soldering gun for that stuff
[01:51:21] <rue_shop3> find an old one tho, the new weller ones suck *****s
[01:55:50] <Jak_o_Shadows> haha.
[01:55:57] <Jak_o_Shadows> clothes iron
[01:56:14] <rue_shop3> hahaha
[01:56:16] <rue_shop3> got me
[01:56:17] <Jak_o_Shadows> one of the ones with the steam resovoir and the valves and stuff
[01:56:35] <rue_shop3> yea, the ones you use for doing toner transfer
[01:56:46] <rue_shop3> :)
[01:56:49] <Jak_o_Shadows> I have the relays and solenoid valves from two others lying around
[01:57:30] <rue_shop3> ?
[01:58:39] <Jak_o_Shadows> The logic board for these clothes irons have two relays on it
[01:58:48] <rue_shop3> ....
[01:59:00] <Jak_o_Shadows> The main bit of it is a biggish solenoid valve of some kind
[01:59:01] <rue_shop3> THE ONe I have must be from the dawn of time
[02:00:08] <Jak_o_Shadows> https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/images/product/steamax-g2/external/laurastar-steam-iron-steamax-g2-medium.jpg is one of them
[02:02:54] <rue_shop3> they wont let canada see it
[02:05:43] <Jak_o_Shadows> https://www.itvsn.com.au/products/itvsn/04/043548/043548a2.jpg
[02:05:45] <Jak_o_Shadows> that's mean of tem
[02:41:59] <Jak_o_Shadows> Not 3d printing today.
[02:42:08] <Jak_o_Shadows> Somehow it wants to home Z upwards
[02:42:20] <Jak_o_Shadows> despite it not changing.
[02:42:23] <Jak_o_Shadows> stupid bloody thing.
[03:55:35] <rue_house> yay, arm6 has feedback on all 3 of its existing axies
[03:56:06] <rue_house> Jak_o_Shadows, commercial or diy assembly?
[03:57:12] <goppo> are RC car shafts typically electro plated?
[03:58:06] <Jak_o_Shadows> my homemade one.
[03:58:12] <Jak_o_Shadows> It was working fiine.
[03:58:19] <Jak_o_Shadows> and once it homes, it continues fine.
[04:03:09] <Jak_o_Shadows> Hmm, electric chainsaww motoor
[11:51:56] <rue_bed> ok, I have an idea for arm6
[11:52:11] <rue_bed> I'll go 7 axis and make the forearm hypercoaxial
[11:52:42] <rue_bed> I'd been just dieing to use the 4th dimension on a robot
[13:21:19] <rue_shop3> Owls choose their questions carefully
[14:44:25] <flyback> <flyback> they ripped off that scene from a towering inferno remake with parker stevenson btw
[14:44:25] <flyback> <flyback> darwin at it's finest - IN CASE OF FIRE DO NOT USE ELEVATOR
[15:07:07] <flyback> missing darwin awards movie url sorry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FJNH3iZ0eM
[18:19:43] <veverak> deshipu: wow
[18:19:56] <veverak> I see that you are using new way of connecting coxa/femur servos together
[18:19:57] <deshipu> veverak: wow?
[18:20:02] <veverak> everywhere now
[18:20:04] <veverak> :)
[18:20:08] <veverak> or... the base two servos
[18:20:14] <deshipu> veverak: yeah, a little longer coxa gives better speed
[18:20:45] <veverak> I seee
[18:21:32] <deshipu> of course at some point the tibia would be too short to compensate for the arc and move the leg in a straight line
[22:31:26] <MrCurious> woo hoo! the i3 NUC from asus works fine on 12v and doesnt require 19 as the provided adapter supplies
[23:13:12] <rue_shop3> arm6...
