[04:19:20] <l0st1nsp4c3> is this a sign of an issue with the motor? issue with the trimpot on the g540 for that axis needing adjustment??

[09:15:49] <Jymmm> scanf: it even has fuzzy bunnies, how can yo not want that?!
[09:17:11] <syyl> rhino is a great modeler
[09:17:16] <syyl> and easy to learn
[09:17:29] <scanf> how much is it
[09:18:48] <Valen> ~$1000 last i heard
[09:19:07] <syyl> single user license around 1000eur
[09:19:18] <syyl> or 1000$
[09:19:39] <syyl> educational license about 200
[09:19:41] <Valen> though it can be "found" somewhat "cheaper" if you "know where to look" *cough*
[09:19:56] * Jymmm lol @ Valen
[09:20:10] <syyl> there is also a demo, that is fully functional
[09:20:19] <syyl> but can save only 25 times
[09:20:58] <syyl> blender is also a free modeling tool
[09:21:02] <scanf> and it can export gcode?
[09:21:15] <syyl> but i would not recomend it as "easy" or "beginner friendly"
[09:21:20] -!-
mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@extern-184.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #emc
[09:21:34] <Valen> you can get rhinocam which will do gcode
[09:21:35] <syyl> uhm, for gcode, i think, you need a seperate cam-module
[09:21:54] <Jymmm> So you load it on a VM, take a snapshot, when you get to 25 times, revert snapshot and repeat.
[09:22:03] <syyl> hehe
[09:22:47] <syyl> for gcode you could also use cambam
[09:23:02] <syyl> it can import .stl models

[10:21:50] <alex_joni> http://www.alibre.com/products/hobby/
[10:22:38] <elmo40> scanf: do you need a 3D modeler? most tool paths are 2D. Try Inkscape with the gcode plugin. 3D drawing with HeeksCNC. isn't too bad but only a 2D tool path is possible (atm)
[10:23:21] <AC-130H> hmm
[10:23:58] <AC-130H> looking at linuxcnc... makes me wonder if there is any such way to make it embedded
[10:25:51] <scanf> elmo40, i am just trying to draw things to make with my cnc router out of al/wood/plastic
[10:26:05] <scanf> unfortunately i dont know how to draw/draft
[10:26:18] <syyl> do you realy need 3d capability?
[10:26:25] <syyl> or is 2,5D enough
[10:27:24] <scanf> prob just 2.5D
[10:27:40] <syyl> then you should look at sheetcam :)
[10:28:02] <syyl> runs on windows/linux, is relative cheap and works great
[10:28:21] <syyl> and for drawing you could use Qcad
[10:30:59] <scanf> say i am trying to build parts for a robot arm
[10:31:13] <scanf> what steps would i take to mill it out of my workpiece
[10:31:55] <syyl> draw it in a cad program
[10:32:04] <syyl> import it in a cam software (or maybe the cad has one integrated), to create the toolpaths
[10:32:40] <syyl> in the cam you make all the settings for milling, which cutter you want use, feeds and speed, cutting depht, etc..
[10:33:13] <syyl> then, the cam can export the toolpaths as a gcode file
[10:33:48] <archivist> or write the gcode by hand
[10:33:53] <syyl> yeah
[10:34:07] <syyl> thats of course also a possibility :D
[10:34:21] <jthornton> scanf: what kind of things are you milling artsy stuff or geometric shapes?
[10:35:06] <scanf> artsy
[10:35:47] <jthornton> kinda hard to do by hand then
[10:39:44] <scanf> id also like to do pcbs
[10:39:47] <archivist> unless geometric artsy :)

[10:55:49] <archivist> mooore roun tuits needed

[11:01:17] <archivist> its shows the decoded gerber live. done in php
[11:03:49] <syyl> for pcbs, i prefer eagle with the mill-outlines.ulp
[11:04:53] <jthornton> dxf2gcode seems to work but it is stuck in mm
[11:05:30] <awallin_> archivist: can you read gerber and get line/arc output? I would be interested in complex pcbs for testing 2D offset CAM code at some point
[11:07:54] <archivist> lines are drawn with a flash (specified diameter) Kicad includes the flash data it uses, older stuff has a separate flash definition
[11:08:58] <jthornton> dxf2gcode can send the output directly to Axis :)
[11:09:38] <archivist> I currently read the .gbr and draw on a canvas/image, it could output vector,. but it is already a vector form

[11:44:56] <scanf> my cnc is breadboarded

[11:51:39] <jthornton> well, dxf2gcode works very well
[11:54:29] <archivist> what do you mean by complex pcb by the way
[11:55:29] <awallin_> archivist: for example TSPLIB has some pcb drilling files as test cases for TSP solving, like this:
http://www.anderswallin.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/tsp.png
[11:56:22] <Loetmichel> jthornton: ahem... i beg to differ. dxf2gcode is not really useful
[11:56:36] <TekniQue> pcb-gcode also works well
[11:56:37] <archivist> because gerber never sees the drill file
[11:56:39] <Loetmichel> i use BoCNC. nbut that is windows
[11:56:43] <jthornton> why is that?
[11:56:47] <TekniQue> if you are an Eagle user

[13:03:27] <jdhNC> there are lots of Z moves in there
[13:03:48] <Jymmm> Z is moving, but it's very small. Are you sure it's not moving at all?
[13:04:58] <Jymmm> Maybe try it again now that you have saved the file. Even if just cutting air.
[13:05:34] <jdhNC> I'd try regenerating the gcode from the image with different z scaling?
[13:06:42] <Jymmm> I think he just did a few moments ago.

[13:09:51] <jdhNC> it looks like it's only moving a few tenths of a mm
[13:11:40] <Jymmm> for engraving, that would be fine.
[13:11:54] <Jymmm> and is it mm or in
[13:12:26] <jdhNC> G21
[13:12:41] <Jymmm> well, then I guess that explains it.
[13:14:09] <stillme> its in mm
[13:14:42] <stillme> the problem is that when i give it a 3mm thick work piece, it first cuts right through the material
[13:14:53] <stillme> so i wouldnt know if its actually moving or not

[14:54:50] <cradek> that machine would have xyz offsets I think?
[14:55:14] <archivist> depends which gang of tools
[14:56:01] <archivist> I can imagine it could turn either direction too
[14:56:30] <cradek> that's true
[14:56:50] <cradek> and reverse X, or maybe change so X is vertical
[14:59:24] <cradek> you could run it with manual (or cam) consideration of x/y/z/m3/m4 but it'd be nicer if it handled it
[15:00:16] <anonimasu> if I made that I'd make a offset macro
[15:00:28] <archivist> there are aspects of the double headed Citizen that beat it though

[15:46:15] <IchGuckLive> Hi all how about homing a Rotary C-Axis
[15:46:23] <ssi> lemme try to open up emc so I can find what you're talking about
[15:46:40] <IchGuckLive> can i then rotate beond the homiing point
[15:46:48] <cradek> IchGuckLive: servo/encoder or stepper? does it have a home switch?
[15:47:05] <IchGuckLive> stepper home switch
[15:47:16] <cradek> then you can home it like any other axis
[15:47:26] <cradek> do you have a more specific question?
[15:47:54] <IchGuckLive> but it will press the home switch on every rotation
[15:48:10] <cradek> that does not matter. home switches are ignored except when homing.
[15:48:19] <IchGuckLive> ah
[15:48:23] <IchGuckLive> ok
[15:48:50] <cradek> many (all?) axes push their home switches during normal use because the home switch is inside the travel limits
[15:48:51] <IchGuckLive> so on the 5 Axis i go for home switch 1 parport for all 5 Axis
[15:49:35] <ssi> aw crap, lathe machine is shut down at home :(
[15:49:44] <cradek> yes you can wire many home switches together and use just one input. you will have to home one at a time then.
[15:49:52] <IchGuckLive> on the 3 Axis i use linit min as the homing
[15:49:54] <cradek> see HOME_IS_SHARED in the docs

[16:23:48] <willburrrr2003> when using multiple home switches, if I home the x axis and leave it sitting at it's home point, then tell it to home m z axis...will it work with the x-axis sitton on home switch?
[16:25:05] <cradek> see HOME_IS_SHARED in the docs
[16:26:13] <skunkworks> willburrrr2003: homing doesn't 'sit' on the switch. it hits it - then backs off.

[16:27:37] <willburrrr2003> thx for the link
[16:29:52] <The_Ball> skunkworks, somebody mentioned you had an opinion on the minimum spindle encoder resolution one should have for rigid tapping, and that value was around 360, was that indeed your opinion and if so what is that based on?
[16:32:15] <Tom_itx> wasn,t me but i'd guess one tick per degree of revolution
[16:33:40] <The_Ball> that's the obvious link, but I was more interested in any reasoning behind it
[16:40:54] <willburrrr2003> wow the hoome and limit config makes way moe sense now :D , I had not read it yet as I don't have them on my lathe yet. I bought the switches lastnight, and will be installing them over the reset of the week...

[20:32:34] <Tom_itx> i got it used from some engineer quite a few years ago
[20:33:25] <cradek> they're not great lathes, but you can use them to make parts if you're desperate enough
[20:33:37] <JT-Shop> and have time...
[20:33:51] <Tom_itx> it's gotten plenty of use
[20:39:55] <JT-Shop> anyone have any tips on cutting grooves with a grooving insert for an o-ring? it's a tiny little sucker about 0.075" wide and maybe 0.050" deep...
[20:40:56] <Tom_itx> they make inserts that small?
[20:41:24] <Tom_itx> but then i haven't done near as much with a lathe..
[20:42:15] <JT-Shop> I have some coming that are 0.039" wide and some 0.062" wide
[20:42:51] <Tom_itx> i'd just make a couple plunge cuts
[20:42:57] <Tom_itx> slowly :D
[20:43:19] <Tom_itx> make sure they blend good so it doesn't cut the o-ring

[20:43:54] <Tom_itx> or undercut the plunge then make a final pass and move in x while it's in the groove a bit
[20:44:09] <Tom_itx> to clean up the bottom

[20:44:50] <Tom_itx> hmm
[20:44:52] <JT-Shop> it does not seal on anything but picks up a stove leveling foot
[20:44:58] <Tom_itx> we always used sanvick inserts
[20:45:38] <JT-Shop> they fit my holders :)
[20:45:51] <Tom_itx> those look the same as sanvick relly
[20:45:54] <Tom_itx> really*
[20:46:54] <JT-Shop> I usually buy most of that kind of stuff from MSC cause it is easier... if I did more volume I'd have a tool monger come by the shop
[20:47:13] <Tom_itx> they're kinda nice sometimes
[20:47:31] <Tom_itx> they helped us get up to speed on titanium and tungsten
[20:50:18] <DaViruz> sanvick? you mean sandvik?
[20:50:27] <Tom_itx> yeah
[20:50:33] <DaViruz> (not trying to be an ass, just want to clarify)
[20:50:38] <DaViruz> ok
[20:50:46] <Tom_itx> been quite a while since i was there
[20:51:12] <Tom_itx> i had their insert catalog here somewhere
[20:51:59] <DaViruz> i live pretty near the city "sandviken" in sweden where they make them :)
[20:52:13] <Tom_itx> good stuff i think
[20:54:16] <DaViruz> a bit expensive but well worth it imo
