[01:36:11] <rue_house> well, the new printer has me up late again
[01:43:51] <rue_house> ok, 2 printers going tonight
[01:50:29] <rue_house> Triffid_Hunter, nice instructions on the bridge test
[01:51:01] <rue_house> but you didn't demonstrate what great is
[01:51:07] <mrdata> i wouldnt call that a stirling engine
[01:51:17] <rue_house> why not
[01:51:30] <mrdata> stirling's innovation included the double-piston and regenerator
[01:51:46] <rue_house> it uses the expansionand contraction of heated air thats displaced between a warm and cold space to oscillate
[01:51:58] <mrdata> sure, that makes it a heat engine
[01:52:01] <rue_house> ^ thats my stirling definition
[01:52:15] <rue_house> stirling is when it recirculates the same air tho

[01:53:22] <rue_house> Triffid_Hunter, has a bootstrapped reprap!?
[01:53:48] <rue_house> it must be old, every part is a different colour
[01:55:17] <rue_house> http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:357674
[01:55:20] <rue_house> THATS insane
[02:03:53] <Triffid_Hunter> rue_house: I have a photo of a 100mm bridge somewhere
[02:05:52] <rue_house> my new machine has a 27cmx25cm bed, its just for printing lots of things
[02:06:16] <rue_house> it uses bowden
[02:06:25] <rue_house> I used a geared stepper, 10:1
[02:06:43] <rue_house> but its too much :( it cant keep up with more than 2mm/s
[02:07:04] <rue_house> I'll switch it up for a 2:1
[02:09:33] <rue_bed> but you cant see the extruder steps,which is what I was aiming for
[03:57:03] <Triffid_Hunter> rue_house: and yeah I bootstrapped my reprap back in 2011 or so, wooden pieces, then printed a bunch of upgrades
[20:10:25] <rue_house> ok
[20:10:50] <rue_house> so, the new printer has some Z threading in its prints
[20:10:51] <rue_house> but
[20:11:15] <rue_house> its protty clos
[20:11:46] <rue_house> maybe I can preload the bearings to squish it out
[20:12:02] <rue_house> I got openscad 2015.03
[20:12:39] <rue_house> so I should be able to offset and then mozowinski an extruded shape to give it roundness
[20:13:13] <rue_house> try that one later
[20:54:09] <rue_house> its ok, its ok, its not late, ist just dark
[21:17:58] <theBear> that's the spirit, and you know the saying, it's the darkest time that is the most not-latest of all ;-)
