03:11 PM kirka: anonnumberanon hi
03:14 PM kirka: anonnumberanon I propose to collaborate on the design/modeling of a custom servo. I can model it in solidworks
03:14 PM kirka: Also I could point you to a cracked version of SW and guide a little, it's a state-of-art engineering CAD
03:14 PM Tom_L: we don't promote that here
03:14 PM Tom_L: keep that in mind as you chat
03:15 PM kirka: ok
03:15 PM Tom_L: or do it in a not so obvious way
03:16 PM kirka: lel I'm not from OECD country, IP enforcement is lax here, so I'm not used to bother with it. But I understand, it's a big deal for civilized people.
03:16 PM Tom_L: it's more of a big deal to dassault
03:16 PM kirka: Actually libre cads could be used, but they are barely usable (looking at you, freecad!)
03:17 PM deshipu: openscad \o/
03:18 PM deshipu: kirka: you could use fusion 360, the cloud storage makes collaboration easier
03:18 PM kirka: Tom_L Well I understand that by talking about p1racy in open I can compromise your IRC, or (very very theoretically) get myself sued (hahaha!) but do you mean something else? I think dassault makes more than enough from pro customers, and they also have student license
03:19 PM Tom_L: of which i have one
03:19 PM deshipu: kirka: it's not about getting sued, it's about not doing illegal thing
03:19 PM kirka: deshipu isn't fusion 360 something half-baked noname? Is it even parametric, with topological representation? If it is mesh-based it's no better than blender or wings 3d
03:19 PM deshipu: s
03:19 PM deshipu: kirka: fusion 360 is made by autodesk and is pretty decent
03:19 PM Tom_L: f360 is an autodesk product you can get free
03:19 PM kirka: deshipu hmm ok >talking is illegal. // But you re right.
03:19 PM kirka: deshipu good then
03:20 PM deshipu: I have to use to use f360 one of these days
03:20 PM Tom_L: and if dassault really felt that way they'd give out so many copies a year for the heck of it
03:21 PM Tom_L: i've threatened to try it
03:21 PM Tom_L: but i don't need it
03:21 PM deshipu: kirka: talking is not illegal, of course, but talking about illegal activities is somewhat out of place on freenode
03:22 PM deshipu: especially endorsing them
03:29 PM deshipu: aww, no f360 for linux, bummer
03:29 PM Tom_L: linux lacks good cad tools
03:32 PM deshipu: not just cad
05:48 PM SpeedEvil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8dfctkQ6A
05:49 PM SpeedEvil: Teeny RC front end loader
06:25 PM rue_mohr: linux lacks front end loaders
06:25 PM rue_mohr: have to talk to linus about that
06:53 PM emeraldgreen: anonnumberanon hi
07:35 PM SpeedEvil: I do with price scaled with weight.
07:35 PM SpeedEvil: At ~$300 or so, that would be awesome.
08:26 PM rue_bed: it occurs to me that bluetooth is a better tech for remotes, cause you can pair to a device, aka all remotes can use the same codes for he same operations, and let the pairing straighten it out
10:41 PM anonnumberanon: so you guys spooked kirka ,then he changed his name to emeraldreen
10:41 PM anonnumberanon: sigh..
10:53 PM Tom_shop: frame all welded up
10:54 PM Tom_shop: just need corner braces on the column
11:01 PM anonnumberanon: looking forward to your rails alignment writeup!
11:02 PM anonnumberanon: *hidden message*
11:02 PM Tom_shop: very little frame warpage
11:05 PM anonnumberanon: gonna start drawing frames in fusion 360
11:06 PM anonnumberanon: too tired to do anything tho
11:06 PM anonnumberanon: i drove 4 hours in the snow today
11:17 PM anonnumberanon: Tom_L, got models you'd like to cut with your new CNC?
11:37 PM Tom_L: models?
11:37 PM Tom_L: haven't drawn anything yet

11:43 PM anonnumberanon: well uhm, parts that you will cut with your CNC
11:44 PM Tom_L: i should finish the cnc first
11:51 PM anonnumberanon: wait you're just building a cnc for the sake of it?
11:58 PM * rue_mohr raises hand "me too"
