[01:18:54] <MattyMatt> skunkKandT: STL is practically all it handles so far
[01:19:07] <MattyMatt> DaViruz it's true, they need tuning :)
[01:19:54] <MattyMatt> they are defo on their way to making useful stuff, and I've located a source of 3mm delrin
[01:21:10] <MattyMatt> which works out cheaper than ABS filament per kg
[01:25:00] <MattyMatt> 3mm acetal I should say, the slightly softer and less poisonous variety
[01:26:15] <MattyMatt> not quite so nice to machine either. it leaves strings like nylon
[01:26:35] <Tom_itx> you need sharp tools
[01:27:59] <MattyMatt> yep. I paid £20 for 10x 0.8mm endmills. I can't expect too much :)
[01:28:45] <MattyMatt> if that much, maybe these ones were £10 for 10
[01:29:15] <MattyMatt> I get through a lot on my floppy mill
[01:29:38] <MattyMatt> ^got, mill is being stiffened atm
[01:31:28] <MattyMatt> even so, real delrin is lovely to machine, it comes off in a fine powder
[01:34:04] <MattyMatt> nylon is another one not many have tried printing with. it's a non-newtonian fluid when molten apparently, which means it doesn't want to extrude
[01:34:44] <MattyMatt> "nylon" can mean so many things tho. I'll start with 66
[01:35:49] <MattyMatt> I need to find out what gauge of fishing line will fit :)
[01:37:20] <MattyMatt> arrgh it's saturday. no 8am start tomorrow
[01:48:35] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: 6AM Instead!

[01:53:18] <MattyMatt> except with church bells, but they are rare these days
[01:53:19] <Jymmm> 8am is the law =)

[03:31:22] <Tom_itx> they'll drop it in the street and run
[03:31:22] <Danimal_garage> but it's not exactly legal to run a machine shop in your residential house
[03:31:30] <Jymmm> Danimal_garage: ah
[03:31:37] <Tom_itx> it's a hobby
[03:31:40] <Danimal_garage> it's on dollys, he can dump it in my garage
[03:31:41] <Tom_itx> honest...
[03:31:43] <Jymmm> what he said
[03:31:51] <Danimal_garage> it's not a hoby
[03:31:53] <Tom_itx> wanna see a real one?
[03:32:01] <Danimal_garage> real what?
[03:32:01] <A2Sheds> I've done the tilt-bed tow trucks a few times myself
[03:32:07] <Jymmm> Danimal_garage: YES, IT IS A HOBBY
[03:32:25] <Jymmm> Danimal_garage: Keep repeating that till you arrive in court
[03:32:54] <A2Sheds> just keep a dropcloth over it and tell anyone that asks that it's a sculpture :)

[04:53:06] <Tom_itx> cover it up
[04:53:07] <Tom_itx> quick
[04:54:02] <Danimal_garage> it needs a mega bath
[04:56:17] <Danimal_garage> the only problem is it has a 5hp motor
[04:57:59] <Danimal_garage> bigger than i wantedf
[04:58:16] <Danimal_garage> it does have encoders though... no resolvers

Shabbir [Shabbir!~Shabbir@182.178.175.186] has joined #emc
[05:34:39] <A2Sheds> what size vfd?
[05:36:06] <danimal_laptop> 3.7kw
[05:36:09] <danimal_laptop> 5hp
[05:36:21] <danimal_laptop> it's a newer mitsubishi
[05:36:56] <A2Sheds> what does it weigh?
[05:37:03] <danimal_laptop> 5lbs?
[05:37:07] <danimal_laptop> it's small
[05:37:53] <danimal_laptop> it can run on single phase
[05:38:18] <danimal_laptop> it'll run about a 3hp motor on single phase with decent acceleration
[05:38:36] <danimal_laptop> at least
[05:38:43] <A2Sheds> I have 3phase
[05:38:45] <danimal_laptop> ah
[05:38:54] <danimal_laptop> then that doesnt matter to you
[05:39:27] <danimal_laptop> i have a similar one but older on my other mill, and a smaller one on my lathe
[05:39:54] <danimal_laptop> pretty simple and they work good
[05:40:25] <danimal_laptop> i'll sell it for what i got into it, which is under $100
[05:41:18] <A2Sheds> I'm actually cleaning out around here
[05:41:31] <danimal_laptop> me too
[05:41:51] <danimal_laptop> i got it thinking i'd need it for the new mill...
[05:42:10] <danimal_laptop> should have waited
[05:42:29] <A2Sheds> any need for a Cincinnati knee mill?
[05:42:37] <danimal_laptop> haha noooo
[05:42:37] <A2Sheds> jk
[05:42:39] <danimal_laptop> no room
[05:42:55] <danimal_laptop> i have 3 mills now
[05:43:02] <danimal_laptop> not including the desktop one
[05:43:19] <A2Sheds> I figure if I haven't used it in a year I probably don't need it
[05:43:27] <danimal_laptop> good reasoning
[05:44:40] <danimal_laptop> i did notice one problem with the new mill.... it's too tall for me to be able to open the garage door
[05:44:50] <A2Sheds> I took over the warehouse space from a used CNC vendor
[05:45:07] <danimal_laptop> nice
[05:45:25] <A2Sheds> you going to lower the floor or?
[05:45:29] <danimal_laptop> ha
[05:45:43] <danimal_laptop> no, i'll just have to rethink my layout
[05:46:39] <A2Sheds> I always find better deal on used machines myself, the used CNC dealers are always on the high side
[05:46:50] <danimal_laptop> yea same here
[05:47:01] <danimal_laptop> i got the new mill from a machinery mover
[05:47:06] <A2Sheds> $2K min for a bridgeport
[05:47:11] <danimal_laptop> ouch
[05:47:31] <danimal_laptop> i got the new mill for 1k
[05:47:41] <A2Sheds> though they don't know what to do with dead/broken machines, they usually go to scrap
[05:47:52] <Jymmm> danimal_laptop: Well, is it running yet?
[05:48:14] <A2Sheds> a working mazak is <$4K
[05:48:27] <danimal_laptop> yes Jymmm, made a ton of parts already
[05:48:47] <Jymmm> danimal_laptop: Cool, how much was the tow truck?
[05:49:00] <danimal_laptop> 200
[05:49:10] <Jymmm> how many miles?
[05:49:19] <danimal_laptop> he put it in the garage for me and ;leant me his dollys
[05:49:30] <danimal_laptop> about 30ish
[05:49:39] <A2Sheds> not too bad
[05:49:43] <Jymmm> not bad, sounds like a cool driver
[05:49:55] <danimal_laptop> well he's a machinery mover
[05:50:00] <Jymmm> ah
[05:50:05] <danimal_laptop> he just happens to have a tow truck

[17:16:00] <Danimal_garage> i like this mill better than my other one. The x axis servo is on the knee instead of the table so i don't have to have an extra 18" of clearance on that side
[17:18:02] <andypugh> I am trying where to put my X-servo. On the end of the table is a lot easier...
[17:18:09] <andypugh> (+ to decide)
[17:18:26] <Danimal_garage> thats how my other mill is and i hate it
[17:19:17] <Danimal_garage> this thing actually has a power knee
[17:19:43] <andypugh> But the machine had a rotating nut originally (to allow for using the table feed for a dividing head) so there is room to use a rotating nut again.
[17:20:01] <Danimal_garage> do it if you can

[17:27:05] <pcw_home> Theres a solvent but IDK if its paint safe (doubt it) Digesil
[17:27:16] <Tom_itx> Danimal_garage, i'd carefully use a single edge razor blade
[17:27:27] <Tom_itx> i don't think there's many other ways
[17:27:36] <Tom_itx> without taking paint with it
[17:28:09] <Tom_itx> if you lay it down flat enough it won't get the paint that much

[17:32:22] <pcw_home> Digesil NC says its paint safe (though it sounds pretty nasty and is probably expensive)
[17:34:16] <Tom_itx> have you tried it?
[17:34:36] <Tom_itx> i'm guessing it would make the silicone gummy and sticky at best but i could be wrong
[17:35:35] <Tom_itx> i just hate messin with silicon
[17:36:00] <Tom_itx> we always used a razor blade but then we weren't concerned about paint. it was on engine blocks, heads etc
[17:36:44] <Danimal_garage> i wish i had a power washer, this thing is nasty
[17:37:18] <Danimal_garage> the paint might be bad enough to not have to worry about it
[17:37:24] <Danimal_garage> we';ll see
[17:37:33] <Tom_itx> rent one
[17:37:38] <Tom_itx> they're cheap
[17:37:56] <Danimal_garage> eh cant really use it in the garage
[17:38:00] <Tom_itx> and it might get some of the silicone
[17:38:04] <Tom_itx> it'll dry

[18:19:45] <IchGucksLive> today i fixed the 5-Axis controler from the chinees it works no perfect with the UF5404 insted of the F307
[18:20:24] <IchGucksLive> i also did some real power wirering and for better amp performence
[18:21:05] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: i got the mill
[18:21:40] <JT-Shop> nice
[18:22:07] <IchGucksLive> Danimal_ is there room left in the garage
[18:22:34] <Danimal_garage> IchGucksLive: none!

[18:25:14] <JT-Shop> Danimal_garage: could you run the spindle?
[18:26:13] <andypugh> White Spirit is also one of commonly-available liquids which it is (relatively) save to fire-breath with.
[18:27:10] <andypugh> We did some research at school on what was the optimum solvent to remove Silicone, but all I recall was that it was the one that smelt nice.
[18:27:34] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: no, it was tucked in the corner of the garage on a pallate
[18:28:18] <IchGucksLive> Danimal_garage: thats the space you need :DD
[18:31:35] <andypugh> I tried milling motor laminations just now, it very nearly worked. The problem is holding them down during milling. They pop free before being finished. I think I need to make a fixture.

[18:52:26] <andypugh> It cuts rather easily.
[18:53:33] <pcw_home> Thats good I know you are not supposed to flex it to severely
[18:53:46] <pcw_home> too
[19:00:28] <andypugh> I was talking about that with the guy I got it from, and he said that some cores are made by bending the laminations.
[19:00:52] <jp_> picked up my machine yesterday!!!
[19:00:58] <andypugh> (It is entirely possible that there is a post-bending heat-treatment though)
[19:01:22] <andypugh> If you can pick up your machine, you need a bigger one :-)
[19:02:09] <jp_> lol 5000lbs forlift was too small back wheels were off of the ground most of the time

[21:44:44] <danimal_laptop> find a mill yet quack?
[21:44:57] <Quack> it's been raining so i haven't gotten around much
[21:45:06] <Quack> i'm driving back to SD tomorrow or today
[21:45:15] <Quack> so no i haven't yet
[21:45:20] <danimal_laptop> ah
[21:45:23] <Quack> keep looking around for me
[21:45:38] <danimal_laptop> if i see anything ill let you know
[21:45:58] <danimal_laptop> i'm trying to get mine in place
[21:46:14] <danimal_laptop> proving to be difficult
[21:47:46] <archivist> for rough floors I build tracks to roll on
[21:48:06] <danimal_laptop> mine's pretty smooth
[21:48:34] <jthornton> can't get it to roll?
[21:48:36] <danimal_laptop> im gunna go see if i can find a crow/pinch bar
[21:48:40] <danimal_laptop> nope
[21:49:17] <danimal_laptop> the bar i use to pry it just bends
[21:49:32] <danimal_laptop> i think it's stainless so it's too soft
[21:50:10] <andypugh> You are American, I believe? I am amazed you haven't resorted to firearms yet

[21:51:32] <andypugh> A comealong winch onto a beam across a doorway normally shifts anything... (of course, if the walls move first, that is bad)
[21:51:53] <danimal_laptop> andypugh: there's no doors handy in that direction
[21:51:56] <andypugh> (the beam goes at floor level.
[21:52:02] <archivist> I was using a wooden lever a lot of the time to get my mill in the garage, I use scaffold pole lengths as rollers
[21:52:38] <danimal_laptop> i had the come along around 2 lathes of over 2000lbs each and the come along just moved the lathes
[21:52:45] <archivist> we did that for one of my lathes
[21:52:52] <Quack> lol andy
[21:53:10] <danimal_laptop> the mill was on rollers too
[21:53:22] <Quack> i'm starting to get scared of bridgeport-class one ton mills
[21:53:24] <Quack> hard to move
[21:53:35] <archivist> easy to move!
[21:53:39] <danimal_laptop> b-ports are easy
[21:53:39] <Quack> but then again once i get it in my mom's garage she'l have a hard time getting rid of it
[21:53:58] <andypugh> Last time I had that problem, I rawl-bolted a piece of angle to the floor. (with holes in each leg, to make a crude equivalent of a Petzl hanger (

[22:04:46] <danimal_laptop> no, no barkes
[22:06:17] <danimal_laptop> andypugh: times like this, i wish i was a fat american
[22:08:48] <jthornton> danimal_laptop: I've used a jack and a piece of steel to move something heavy before, like a wedge sorta
[22:09:07] <danimal_laptop> tried that, it shot the metal out at me lol
[22:09:08] <jthornton> or a lever rather
[22:09:19] <andypugh> Hydraulic bottle jacks (normal car-type ones) work fine if you have the pump at the bottom.

[23:03:33] <pcw_home> andypugh: I dont think anything has changed except various bug fixes in SSLBP I can try our DOS utilities (WPD/RPD) via SSLBP tomorrow
[23:04:45] <Jymmm> Quack: No skin (adds grease), chicken broth of your preference.
[23:04:49] <andypugh> I sent an email. I think that it might be a long-standing bug masked by which port the card was plugged in to previously.
[23:05:40] <andypugh> Jymmm: You make adding grease sound like a bad thing. That's where all the meaty taste is.
[23:06:06] <andypugh> (Or so I seem to remember)
[23:06:11] <Jymmm> andypugh: There's enough grease in the meat as it is. Skin just adds FUNK imo
[23:06:27] <Jymmm> andypugh: Sure, in BEEF marbling is a good thing.
[23:06:45] <Jymmm> andypugh: poultry is another matter

[23:38:14] <Danimal_garage> ha
[23:40:12] <pcw_home> Andy, I will check this out tomorow
[23:42:26] <pcw_home> Is this 5I25 or 5I23?
[23:42:57] <sparrW> how can I test the torque of a stepper without a stepper driver?
[23:43:28] <pcw_home> Lab power supply?
[23:44:08] <sparrW> I have a power supply with voltage and current control
[23:45:44] <pcw_home> OK will it supply the step motors peak current?
[23:47:26] <sparrW> yes
[23:51:09] <andypugh> So, clamp the middle of a horizontal stick to the shaft. Apply the current. Then dangle weights off the stick until the motor turns.
[23:51:31] <pcw_home> First make sure you have solid connections (you could possibly fry a supply if you disconnect the motor at max current)
[23:52:16] <andypugh> You can't check the running torque without a stepper drive, just the stall torque.
[23:52:42] <pcw_home> andy are you using a 5I25 or 5I23?
[23:53:42] <andypugh> 5i23 at the moment
[23:54:07] <andypugh> (And it used to work, otherwise my peak current would be more than 1A :-)
[23:54:52] <pcw_home> You might see if the latest firmware works
[23:54:54] <pcw_home> (freeby.mesanet.com/svss8_8.bit)
[23:55:12] <pcw_home> should be V31
[23:55:15] <andypugh> Even a read gives me AA immediately after the 0x800 stop command. Of course, that might be correct.
[23:57:15] <pcw_home> that sounds like you are inadvertantly resetting the processor
[23:57:16] <pcw_home> So you issue a stopall
[23:57:19] <pcw_home> wait
[23:57:20] <pcw_home> issue a setup start
[23:57:21] <pcw_home> wait
[23:57:23] <pcw_home> write LBP command and address to CSR
[23:57:24] <pcw_home> data to userx and doit and you get an AA?
[23:58:34] <sparrW> andypugh: how do running torque and stall torque usually relate?
[23:58:48] <andypugh> stall torque is much higher
[23:59:11] <sparrW> can you give me an order of magnitude on "much"?
[23:59:39] <andypugh> stall torque is infinitely higher than the torque at max rpm.
[23:59:42] <Danimal_garage> hmmm duh, i have a big van with a ram bar for a reason. i can strap a come along to that to move the other mill
