[02:26:45] <zeeshan> yea one burnt out
[02:26:46] <zeeshan> =/
[02:26:54] <zeeshan> i accidently connected the wrong power supply to it
[02:26:57] <zeeshan> (dont ask how)
[02:26:58] <zeeshan> lol
[02:27:13] <XXCoder1> maybe check stats out using multimeter and maybe just find matching led?
[02:27:18] <XXCoder1> mA and v
[02:27:26] <zeeshan> the thing is
[02:27:30] <zeeshan> i dont want it to be a different color
[02:27:34] <zeeshan> this is 'soft white'
[02:27:37] <zeeshan> and its extremely bright
[02:27:39] <zeeshan> it was on my drill press
[02:27:45] <XXCoder1> ah yea
[02:27:55] <zeeshan> maybe i should change all 3 of them
[02:27:57] <zeeshan> so they match

[04:40:23] <CaptHindsight> http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/2/5/6/1/0/8/a4118177-109-S8302731.jpg
[04:40:32] <CaptHindsight> something like that ^^
[04:41:25] <XXCoder1> quadcoper eh
[04:41:30] <p0st4L> .062
[04:41:46] <p0st4L> something much cooler than that, but ya... a quadcopter
[04:41:48] <CaptHindsight> common pcb thickness
[04:41:53] <p0st4L> yeah, well
[04:41:56] <p0st4L> .062 and .125
[04:42:53] <CaptHindsight> need a router?
[04:43:32] <XXCoder1> talking about routers how do I select one? heh would standard router from shop work>?
[04:43:42] <p0st4L> i have one setup already. fireball v90 w/ dwalt 611
[04:43:43] <XXCoder1> want it to cut metal and alum
[04:43:59] <XXCoder1> er wood and alum that is
[04:44:13] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder1: how thick?
[04:44:26] <p0st4L> linuxcnc defaults to .015 step down per pass
[04:44:31] <p0st4L> wondering if i can change that to like, .05
[04:44:35] <XXCoder1> alum I hope 1 inch thick so I can upgrade cnc
[04:44:59] <CaptHindsight> p0st4L: it's does whatever the G-code tells it
[04:45:25] <p0st4L> ya i know. i'm not looking to see if it will. i'm looking to see if it's recommended at all.
[04:45:30] <p0st4L> this is my first time using my cnc
[04:45:44] <p0st4L> just seems .015 is a bit shallow, i'm pretty sure it could do more
[04:45:48] <p0st4L> i might just have to try and see
[04:46:07] <CaptHindsight> yeah you can change the Z to the minimum that your machine can handle/resolve
[04:46:39] <p0st4L> max*
[04:46:48] <CaptHindsight> p0st4L: how are you generating your G-code?

[04:47:27] <CaptHindsight> I've never run it but can't you set it for whatever Z you want?
[04:47:35] <p0st4L> :/
[04:47:38] <p0st4L> yes, i can set it to whatever i want
[04:47:55] <p0st4L> i was just asking if anyone had any experience cutting g10, and what z settings they used
[04:48:00] <CaptHindsight> what's the Z res of your router?
[04:48:09] <p0st4L> ? 12 turns per inch?
[04:48:45] <CaptHindsight> it's going to vary a bit depending on what router or mill they have, size f the cutting tool, spindle speed etc etc
[04:49:11] <p0st4L> ok gotcha. ill just have to play with it and see what i can make it do
[04:49:33] <CaptHindsight> you you plunge too deep you'll know it, nut too shallow is not a problem

[06:20:45] <tjtr33> awallin has posted some interesting python code for Trajectory Planning.
http://www.anderswallin.net/
[06:22:00] <tjtr33> in it, he shows how bang bang ( 1st order) planning has lots of jerk, and 2nd order ( respecting acceleration limits) is smoother
[06:22:15] <Bushman> can anyone help me to understand how the pulse generator for LPT port is works? is it build into linuxcnc or is it something running in the background like driver or something?
[06:23:35] <Bushman> my Z axis still has issues but i still didn't determined the sourceof them for sure
[06:24:40] <Bushman> one of the last things for me to invertigate it my PC's behaviour but i'd need to understand the desigh in order to diagnose it properly
[06:25:03] <tjtr33> type man stepgen if you're wanting to understand stepper pulse generation
[06:27:14] <tjtr33> the stepgen is a small part of linuxcnc, it is part of the position control. periodically, a new position is calculated, and stepgen is used to achieve the new position.
[06:27:33] <Bushman> i see

[10:34:42] <MattyMatt> it's pretty, but not $3500 pretty IMO
[10:40:07] <archivist_herron> profit and cost of sales
[10:40:30] <MattyMatt> arr, and if the market will bear it
[10:40:51] <Loetmichel> if i read that correctly he build it with linear motors
[10:40:53] <archivist_herron> not me because its a bit carp
[10:40:55] <Loetmichel> not steppers
[10:40:59] <Loetmichel> on some axis
[10:41:05] <Loetmichel> that will be very expensive
[10:41:21] <MattyMatt> it's probably cheap compared to what dentists etc use now
[10:42:42] <MattyMatt> are linear steppers still under patent? it seems unlikely as linear motors in general have been around since the 70s at least

[13:51:22] <GuShH_> So 3Nm bipolar, can I expect it to drive the leadscrew on a small sized lathe with or without reduction, using micro-stepping?
[13:51:54] <GuShH_> I'm not sure how much force is needed loaded and unloaded (ie free standing or cutting, but it varies with the material and depth of course)
[13:52:06] <jdh> depends on the leadscrew also
[13:52:39] <jdh> what is a small sized lathe?
[13:52:40] <GuShH_> what's the common method to determine stepper size?
[13:52:56] <GuShH_> "buy the biggest you can afford" surely isn't very scientific!
[13:53:01] <jdh> there are documents that detail sizing using loads/inertia/etc.
[13:53:03] <GuShH_> jdh: 750mm
[13:53:05] <CaptHindsight> http://www.micromo.com/microstepping-myths-and-realities.aspx
[13:53:16] <jdh> but, biggest that fits might be as valid
[13:53:26] <jdh> unless big==too slow for your application
[13:53:28] <GuShH_> anything can fit if you are modifying the machine heh
[13:54:03] <jdh> 750mm Z or X?
[13:54:36] <GuShH_> between centers
[13:55:09] <GuShH_> should be around 30 inches
[13:55:24] <GuShH_> in marketing mode (round up) heh
[13:55:58] <jdh> I am working on one at the moment around 500mm. I am using a 3Nm NEMA23 motor
[13:56:21] <GuShH_> those are the one I've been looking at, but it's 3Nm on bipolar mode otherwise it's 2.12
[13:56:23] <jdh> with about 2:1 reduction
[13:56:45] <GuShH_> 4.2A per phase in bipolar
[13:56:55] <GuShH_> 3.2mH or so inductance
[13:57:09] <GuShH_> (bipolar parallel)
[13:57:48] <jdh> actually that is for my Z axis, the X is using a 570oz-in
[13:57:51] <GuShH_> run of the mill 1.8° stepper in nema 23 I guess
[13:58:36] <GuShH_> oh, hefty
[13:58:39] <jdh> have you designed/built your X axis conversion?
[13:58:46] <GuShH_> nothing so far
[13:58:50] <archivist> Bushman, what is you current latency?
[13:59:07] <jdh> Z is mostly trival. X is disheartening.
[13:59:36] <GuShH_> oh?
[13:59:54] <jdh> unless you use the stock screws/nuts
[13:59:58] <GuShH_> well there are two Z axis in a lathe :p
[14:00:23] <jdh> ?
[14:00:42] <GuShH_> apron and compound
[14:01:01] <jdh> I have not seen a reason to keep the compound after CNCing
[14:01:05] <GuShH_> so you're saying the cross-slide is the hardest, due to the coupling or because of modifying the leadscrew?
[14:01:20] <jdh> yes
[14:01:53] <GuShH_> I guess for added rigidity you should get rid of the compound, specially on these smaller machines
[14:02:15] <jdh> using the existing leadscrew/nut is probably simpler, but more likely to have lash/wear, if you care.
[14:02:35] <GuShH_> I got mine adjusted to about 1.25 thou backlash
[14:02:41] <GuShH_> won't go any less without binding
[14:02:49] <jdh> fitting a ballnut to a smallish cross-slide is problematic
[14:02:52] <GuShH_> wear happens every-wear heh
[14:03:17] <GuShH_> jdh: I've seen some people raising the headstock / tailstock and this allowed them to fit a lot more under the cross-slide, since they also raised it
[14:03:20] <jdh> I would think that you would have increased wear with CNC but that's just a guess
[14:03:21] <GuShH_> but it's non trivial
[14:03:53] <GuShH_> yes because with CNC it would see a lot more repeated use unless you _are_ working on the lathe all day long making the same amount of parts
[14:04:11] <jdh> a new cross-slide would seem like a good idea for mine. Tall enough for a ballscrew/nut and to mount tool holding without the compound
[14:04:15] <GuShH_> you reckon the harder motions play a role in wear as well?
[14:04:32] <GuShH_> sounds like a lot of machining!
[14:04:33] <jdh> just a thought I have. No experience/knowledge to back it up.
[14:04:50] <GuShH_> I've seen pictures of converted lathes, they spent more on conversion than the lathe was worth to begin with
[14:05:00] <GuShH_> I'm not going to do that, can't afford it.
[14:05:10] <jdh> you don't turn the cranks more than needed by hand, but with CNC, you will probably return more.
[14:05:18] <GuShH_> I would like to begin with Z automation and work my way up
[14:05:28] <GuShH_> a full conversion often includes a servo motor... kinda expensive for me
[14:05:29] <jdh> I paid $300 for my 9x20 lathe.
[14:05:57] <GuShH_> I guess it depends on how the commands are generated, ie. the software behind it
[14:06:12] <jdh> $125 for steppers, $150 for ballscrews/nuts/bearings.
[14:06:27] <GuShH_> you are already spending more than the lathe was worth, see!
[14:06:40] <GuShH_> but I do see that it will be cheaper than the closest commercial thing
[14:06:52] <GuShH_> and possibly better, if we look at cheap china cnc
[14:07:08] <jdh> mine started out as cheap china lathe
[14:07:22] <R2E4> morning guys.
[14:07:31] <GuShH_> jdh: the compound on these is flawed by design, at least the clamp is... only 2 mounting points on most of these lathes, it allows back and forth rocking motion, which is what you DONT want
[14:07:44] -!- skorasaurus2 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[14:08:00] <GuShH_> a friend made a 4 point plate and it really improved, lot less chatter.
[14:08:07] <GuShH_> I need to get around that.
[14:08:19] <R2E4> My X axis on my cnc router lost power. While it is running, I can hold it with my hand and the motor stall. I switched motors and switched drivers.
[14:09:24] <GuShH_> jdh: where are you on the conversion right now?
[14:09:24] <jdh> I have a 4-bolt mount for mine
[14:09:37] <jdh> Z is mostly complete and working.
[14:09:52] <jdh> X... I go look at it every few days hoping inspiration will strike.
[14:09:59] <GuShH_> did you mount your motor / drive on the right side of the bed for the Z
[14:10:10] <jdh> left, where the gear select was
[14:10:29] <GuShH_> the bushing/bracket for the original leadscrew doesn't have any bearings on mine!
[14:10:35] <GuShH_> at the far right.
[14:10:41] <jdh> I added a chinese ballscrew
[14:10:49] <GuShH_> it forms a steel-iron bushing with a cushion of oil...
[14:11:03] <GuShH_> pre-loaded with a nut and grub screw for locking it
[14:11:03] <jdh> that's all it needs for the original use
[14:11:27] <GuShH_> I'm not sure, seen older lathes use proper bushings at least heh
[14:11:44] <GuShH_> things used to be made to last....
[14:12:05] <jdh> I left my ballscrew free-floating on that side also
[14:12:08] <jdh> but, it is in a bearing.

[14:20:34] <GuShH_> I spent about an hour adjusting the gibs yesterday, at least it's better now.
[14:21:22] <GuShH_> Not sure if the method used was correct, I set a dial indicator by the adjusting screw, opposite side, and rocked the slide back and forth while reading, adjusting and moving it, then proceeded to the other screws, kept it by "zones" then did a full run check
[14:21:25] <jdh> I have replacment gib strips for X. I will remove the carriage and redo that before I finish.
[14:21:45] <GuShH_> It's got 1 thou or so play at the moment, any more and it was binding... because it's not a bronze gib and the finish is horrible.

[15:02:41] Guest5777 is now known as KreAture
[15:03:04] <GuShH_> archivist: I didn't have a steady and it was 10mm od, 3mm wall aluminum tubing (6063 T6 or so)
[15:03:11] <GuShH_> it's very bendy without a steady
[15:03:24] <archivist> I have sometimes held either the tool or work to damp the vibration
[15:03:26] <GuShH_> also a big contact area on the tool
[15:03:49] <archivist> take a finer cut
[15:03:52] <GuShH_> my steadies have brass fingers, don't seem to work very well with aluminum
[15:04:22] <GuShH_> the cuts were half a meter long, it's like butter by the middle portion.
[15:04:30] <archivist> light bendy work needs a light cut
[15:04:43] <GuShH_> yes!
[15:04:51] <Loetmichel> archivist: so use a hand grinder, some moglice and then scrape it ;-)

[15:06:03] <GuShH_> please make it stop
[15:06:47] <CaptHindsight> but they do have practical tech, it's just a bit slow
[15:07:29] <GuShH_> archivist: I find the patterns fascinating

[15:08:19] <archivist> that is revolting!
[15:09:12] <CaptHindsight> it's for decorative finishes :)
[15:09:28] <GuShH_> archivist: oh but remove your machinist eyes to watch that
[15:09:35] <GuShH_> I've never seen such patterns.
[15:09:48] <GuShH_> it did not make chatter noises.
[15:10:12] <GuShH_> but I did find the tube was very slightly bent, it was held between centers though. could this spring/tension be the culprit?
[15:10:14] <CaptHindsight> the groves get wider to the right
[15:10:42] <GuShH_> the pattern got interesting by the headstock, all the rest was regular chatter marks
[15:10:44] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: uhhh, thats a BIT of chatter ;-)
[15:10:51] <archivist> the frequency depended on the harmonic being excited
[15:11:00] <GuShH_> it's FASCINATING not revolting!
[15:11:35] <GuShH_> of course I had to bring it down to 8mm, so no harm done on that light pass.
[15:12:09] <CaptHindsight> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKpV_GslZOM it didn't sound like this?
[15:12:20] <archivist> you need a sliding head lather for long thin work
[15:12:30] <GuShH_> a what
[15:12:40] <GuShH_> I have a follow steady but the fingers are not correct for aluminum
[15:13:01] <GuShH_> CaptHindsight: OH GOD no.
[15:13:07] <GuShH_> why the hell is it chattering like that?
[15:13:15] <GuShH_> you hit the stop switch when you hear that.
[15:13:33] <GuShH_> too deep of a cut, chuck not gripping properly?
[15:13:36] <archivist> note he leans on the chuck with something, headstock bearings bad

[15:13:50] <GuShH_> archivist: or needs adjustment on the preload?

[15:18:06] <CaptHindsight> I read some other threads on cnczone about Automation technologies (Keiling) routers....
[15:18:48] <GuShH_> archivist: thoughts on aquarium pumps for coolant?
[15:18:50] <CaptHindsight> same complaints as mine, poor quality assembly and how they hold the ballscrew bearings
[15:19:09] <GuShH_> I got one as an experiment but it was too weak, I need at least 20W
[15:19:10] <CaptHindsight> no matter what size router
[15:20:48] <CaptHindsight> GuShH_:
http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/cnc-spindle/200-gph-miniature-submersible-fountain-pump
[15:21:06] <GuShH_> yup those
[15:21:16] <GuShH_> but mine was smaller, so it didn't cut the mustard.
[15:21:23] <CaptHindsight> sump pumps
[15:21:36] <CaptHindsight> they can also handle chips
[15:21:40] <GuShH_> I want something small, noiseless
[15:21:53] <GuShH_> nah sump pumps are way too powerful and noisy for me
[15:22:22] <GuShH_> I have one I use on the pool, it's not terribly noisy but it's way too big.
[15:22:55] <CaptHindsight> there are magnetic coupled aquarium types
[15:23:08] <GuShH_> I think the one you linked to should work
[15:23:24] <GuShH_> I just got a very weak one that wouldn't raise the liquid high enough with the pressure I was after
[15:23:33] <GuShH_> not an issue though got a refund
[15:24:11] <GuShH_> a real coolant pump from old lathes / mills would be ideal, but they are BIG

[15:59:15] <archivist> GammaX,
http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2014/2014_03_19_Southbend/
[15:59:51] <GuShH_> are they sulphur based these days?
[16:00:17] <GammaX> GuShH_, motor oil, water, soap.
[16:00:32] <GuShH_> GammaX: and what do you use to defoam? and the proportions?
[16:00:42] <GuShH_> soap or detergent?
[16:00:42] <GammaX> archivist, yeah same thing.... hes missing the peice over the clutch system.
[16:00:58] <archivist> GammaX, pic one, engaged, three in back gear position towards the spindle
[16:01:03] <GammaX> GuShH_, no idea! saw it on practical machinist.
[16:01:29] <GuShH_> how long would it last? why not use diluted glycol instead of plain water?
[16:01:50] <GammaX> GuShH_, was a home made recipe thats easy and cheap
[16:01:58] <GammaX> 5 bucks a gallon as I remember.
[16:01:58] <GuShH_> well, car coolant... should have rust inhibitors
[16:02:05] <archivist> old engine oil, or axle oil for high pressure lube
[16:02:10] <GuShH_> the detergent would allow the oil to mix in
[16:02:26] <archivist> I never use water based
[16:02:32] <GuShH_> but what to use to defoam
[16:02:34] <GuShH_> archivist: what do you use?
[16:02:43] <archivist> any old oil :)
[16:02:54] <GuShH_> I don't want used motor-oil in contact with my skin for over 5 minutes a week.
[16:03:07] <GuShH_> any more and I consider it a stupid risk
[16:03:15] <GammaX> archivist, on image 1736 what is that ping that sticks out fromthe clutch system?
[16:03:38] <GuShH_> thing is, motor oil is not cutting oil and it's not coolant either
[16:03:47] <archivist> GammaX, that is the back gear dog clutch
[16:03:53] <GammaX> GuShH_, wear gloves, anything else in a machine shop is prolly more caustic.
[16:04:04] <CaptHindsight> you don't want to use auto antifreeze in your cutting fluid, Ethylene glycol isn't good for you
[16:04:08] <GuShH_> GammaX: lots of nasties in old motor oil
[16:04:19] <GammaX> GuShH_, like what?
[16:04:25] <GuShH_> CaptHindsight: oh?, tell that to your health agencies
[16:05:18] <archivist> us older folk dont scare so easy and we are not dead yet form all these nasties
[16:05:36] <GuShH_> skin cancer takes a while
[16:05:54] <archivist> dont go out in the sun then
[16:06:01] <GammaX> archivist, I cant get that thing to move!
[16:06:19] <GuShH_> CaptHindsight: seems most are propylene glycol now?
[16:06:21] <archivist> GammaX, pull out its on a spring
[16:06:22] <CaptHindsight> oh the UV is dangerous
[16:06:42] <GuShH_> lots of old mechanics with skin problems...
[16:07:05] <archivist> GammaX, then rotate the pulley while lifting the pin outwards to engage
[16:07:06] <GuShH_> I get a rash when I've been in contact with used oil for a while
[16:07:09] <GammaX> archivist, I can seem to get it to pull out cause its hitting the oil cap housing.
[16:07:32] <archivist> it only moves an 1/8" ish
[16:07:49] <GammaX> archivist, will that make it engage properly and move faster?
[16:08:05] <archivist> it is effin awkward till you are used to moving it
[16:08:20] <CaptHindsight> well rash and toxic don't have to be related, some people have cold urticaria and get a rash from the cold
[16:08:20] <GuShH_> archivist: but I do have a question, at the big stores they sell "tempering oil" and I wonder if it isn't just used oil.
[16:08:46] <GuShH_> what can it possibly have? I'm not an expert although I do know the basics of steel tempering
[16:09:20] <archivist> just the way it boils and cools the steel and does not give off nasty fumes
[16:09:31] <GuShH_> what if it does
[16:09:41] <archivist> dont panic
[16:09:49] <GuShH_> no, might as well use the old motor oil.
[16:10:19] <GuShH_> they claim better grain and more uniform structure, longer oil life

[16:12:43] <GuShH_> nice crud
[16:12:44] <GammaX> its jsut that the spindle is turning at like 180 rpm's maby?
[16:14:37] <archivist> use a higher pulley
[16:14:37] <GammaX> belt is all the way to the left.
[16:14:37] <archivist> you have 8 speeds to play with, those machines were never fast
[16:14:39] <archivist> is the back gear spinning ?
[16:14:54] <GammaX> getting that dog bone to the outer limit.. what will that accomplish?
[16:15:10] <GammaX> yes, back gear is engaged.
[16:15:11] <archivist> top left lever is it towards you or away
[16:15:40] <archivist> dis engage back gear that is the low speed range
[16:16:26] <GammaX> archivist, yeah it speed up a lot when I disengage but then when I try and turn some steel the belt slips.
[16:17:01] <archivist> pull out the dog clutch pin, lift towards you while rotating the pulley, the pin will drop in
[16:17:46] <archivist> I tend to use the bottom speed in the high range

[16:18:14] <GammaX> by locking that in what will that do?

[17:18:23] * GuShH_ hides
[17:18:49] <GuShH_> you know how I know those are not real germans? there's no beer to be seen anywhere near them. you don't dress like that unless you're about to drink several gallons of beer.
[17:19:42] <GuShH_> 15 parts water 1 part oil, a dribble of detergent. might try using more oil later
[17:20:02] <GuShH_> you get a white soapy substance that looks like cheap coolant
[17:20:22] <XXCoder1> use beer as lubcant ;)
[17:20:28] <GuShH_> hah
[17:20:30] <XXCoder1> probably would start fire
[17:20:35] <GuShH_> nah
[17:20:44] <CaptHindsight> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion
[17:20:56] <GuShH_> yes, I've made mayo a few times.
[17:21:31] <CaptHindsight> egg based coolant
[17:21:39] <GuShH_> could work.
[17:21:45] <GuShH_> in fact it -would- work if you thinned it down some
[17:21:52] <GuShH_> but he smell would be horrible.
[17:21:55] <XXCoder1> mayo is pretty cheap
[17:22:04] <GuShH_> it would smell like rotten eggs in no time.
[17:22:16] <XXCoder1> unless you run machine in referated area lol
[17:22:21] <GuShH_> XXCoder1: you should do it, that way you'll get featured in HackaDay
[17:22:39] <CaptHindsight> the oil and water with the surfactant to make the emulsion
[17:22:41] <GuShH_> I'll try hot sauce for the brothers.
[17:23:05] <XXCoder1> heh its almost like we are discussing sauces for some meal
[17:23:09] <GuShH_> (I've never seen a black person eat mayo)
[17:23:15] <GuShH_> (I'm serious)
[17:23:30] <GuShH_> (I'm a hot sauce guy anyway)
[17:23:43] <XXCoder1> I almost drink hot sauce
[17:24:04] <GuShH_> must figure out a way to mix it with the coffee.
[17:24:11] <XXCoder1> easy
[17:24:17] <GuShH_> without it tasting horrible.
[17:24:33] <XXCoder1> do microdrop of pure caspician
[17:24:55] <GuShH_> sounds dangerous
[17:24:57] <XXCoder1> make sure its VERY small drop. or mix drop with around liter of water to mix into coffee
[17:25:22] <XXCoder1> one drop in liter makes one liter of pretty damn hot sauce with no taste
[17:26:18] <XXCoder1> 38 million btu isnt nice stuff
[17:26:24] <CaptHindsight> time for a sammich
[17:26:26] <XXCoder1> regular store stuff is 1k
[17:26:38] <XXCoder1> most I ever went was 10k and dang is it hot
[17:27:02] <XXCoder1> there is people who use pepper spray protector on food. that's hmm 100k?
[17:27:22] * GuShH_ puts some hot sauce on CaptHindsight's sammich
[17:27:36] <GuShH_> XXCoder1: seriously?
[17:27:37] <GuShH_> haha
[17:27:38] * XXCoder1 adds drop of caspician to make hot sauce hotter
[17:27:59] <XXCoder1> lemme find site
[17:28:20] <GuShH_> better try to make a pump myself first, second attempt that is... I want something sturdy and I want multiples...
[17:28:31] <XXCoder1> oh got some info wrong, been couple years
[17:28:37] <XXCoder1> http://www.hotsauce.com/Scoville-Hot-Sauce-Heat-Scale-s/78.htm
[17:29:03] <XXCoder1> Common Pepper Spray 1,150,000 - 2,000,000
[17:29:55] <XXCoder1> oh yeah not 10k but 100k on habanero

[17:54:27] <XXCoder1> just 200usd?> seemed to me that I would need $200 just for motor kit
[17:54:57] <IchGuckLive> XXCoder1: start loww upgrate high
[17:55:18] <CaptHindsight> archivist: I see that same design in a range or res from 1-9.1MP
[17:55:40] <CaptHindsight> I wondering about that lens
[17:55:47] <archivist> what lens :)
[17:56:03] <CaptHindsight> it's C-mount
[17:56:20] <archivist> designed to sit in a microscope tube
[17:56:56] <CaptHindsight> ok
[17:57:13] <CaptHindsight> byo objective
[17:58:01] <humble_sea_bass> I thought the MX3660 was 4 axis
[17:58:12] <CaptHindsight> only 3

[18:00:09] <CaptHindsight> I came home with the mx3660 thinking i could tune it
[18:00:11] <XXCoder1> ich yeah but then mere motor and controllers kit is around $130 or so+shipping, then I still need rest of stuff
[18:01:48] <CaptHindsight> http://www.ebay.com/itm/141221140603 looks like those 9.1MP bodies start around $200

[18:06:09] <XXCoder1> wonder if making it mountable like router bit to accurately place would work
[18:06:48] <Loetmichel> XXCoder1: i would rather mount it BESIDE the spindle
[18:06:58] <Loetmichel> at a known distance
[18:07:06] <Loetmichel> may be 50mm away or so
[18:07:08] <CaptHindsight> fixed mounting with fixed offset
[18:07:16] <XXCoder1> ok

[18:07:46] <XXCoder1> couple holes added

[18:12:48] <CaptHindsight> need to change this imagery
[18:12:56] <GuShH_> haha
[18:13:10] <GuShH_> but will it work under heavy strain while on the toilet?
[18:13:14] <GuShH_> can it handle the flexing?

[18:13:38] <Loetmichel> our laptops are made for soldiers...
[18:13:44] <Loetmichel> so yes it could

[18:17:52] <Loetmichel> with a good saw band: yes
[18:17:52] <CaptHindsight> GuShH_: that is the other side of the bathroom
[18:17:54] <GuShH_> 5 1/4 one
[18:17:55] <GuShH_> ones
[18:17:59] <Loetmichel> DaViruz: so what?
[18:18:01] <GuShH_> haha
[18:18:12] <Loetmichel> even the new CNC-PC hase one
[18:18:20] <Loetmichel> ... connected on usb, though
[18:18:22] <GuShH_> and my 286 STILL WORKS and it has a whopping 50MB of HDD space.
[18:18:30] <DaViruz> yeah i have a usb floppy drive for emergencies
[18:18:34] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12265
[18:18:40] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12250
[18:18:40] <DaViruz> but it's been a veery long time since i used a floppy
[18:18:46] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12247
[18:18:50] <DaViruz> in fact pretty much every floppy i ever owned has stopped working
[18:19:07] <GuShH_> oh the small 3 1/2 ones sure.
[18:19:17] <GuShH_> but the 5 1/4 still work, at least 90% of them do
[18:19:40] <DaViruz> the last time i used one it was a 5.25" that came with my VMC
[18:19:43] <GuShH_> mind you, they were quality made by comparison
[18:19:45] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: that case actually WAS a 286 pizzabox
[18:19:51] <Loetmichel> ... undtil i gutted it
[18:19:53] <Loetmichel> ;-)

[18:20:04] <GuShH_> it still works. needs a sound card and extra ram though
[18:20:16] <GuShH_> but it won't run DOOM sadly, you need a 386 at least
[18:21:47] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14040 <- thats what the machine looks like at the moment

[18:22:13] <GuShH_> those are ancient spark plugs... but they were "triple spark" !!
[18:22:14] <Loetmichel> i just needed thecase
[18:22:19] <GuShH_> how awesome
[18:22:38] <XXCoder1> ran doom on 386 sx 33 mhz
[18:22:44] <XXCoder1> was lot of "fun"
[18:22:46] <GuShH_> wilbur
[18:23:03] <Loetmichel> becauee the new spindle was a bit higher so i had to make a bit of "room" above the mill
[18:23:19] <GuShH_> seems oversized :p
[18:23:35] <GuShH_> did you machine everything from scratch?
[18:23:47] <XXCoder1> expecially I had crappy video card. lol. sx also means no math coprocessor. slow!
[18:23:58] <Loetmichel> i did
[18:24:07] <GuShH_> but you had access to tools from work didn't you
[18:24:14] <Loetmichel> no
[18:24:21] <GuShH_> then?
[18:24:40] <Loetmichel> made the machine on this:
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=3077
[18:24:41] <XXCoder1> heh from what I see, its bit hard to start on cnc when dont have much money. how did you start loet
[18:24:41] <Loetmichel> :-)
[18:24:48] <GuShH_> you kinda need a mill to make a mill.
[18:25:29] <GuShH_> the cost for a small cnc here just in steppers, drivers and couplings all 3Nm is about the cost of a new street motorcycle... say a cheapie suzuki ax100
[18:25:43] <GuShH_> (to put it in perspective)
[18:25:50] <Loetmichel> that was my first one, back in 98 or so:
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=2859
[18:25:54] <XXCoder1> homebrew cnc nice
[18:25:57] <GuShH_> not counting bearings, ballscrews or even a power supply! let alone a spindle
[18:26:38] <Loetmichel> ballscrews?
[18:26:39] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: what was used to cut the wood then?
[18:26:42] <GuShH_> chicken and egg problem.
[18:26:48] <XXCoder1> wnder if theres plans online on how to make small cnc cheap. large enough to makje larger cnc though
[18:26:52] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: assuming we wanted a certain level of precision and reliability
[18:27:00] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: the wood: a circular saw and a battery drill
[18:27:09] <Loetmichel> that was all the tools i needed
[18:27:12] <GuShH_> a skill saw?
[18:27:26] <GuShH_> I'm asking for XXCoder1 :P
[18:27:44] <XXCoder1> gush you could upgrade it by levels from what I see, you could start with junkyard cnc using printer motors and such then make better one with that cnc

[18:31:19] <Loetmichel> i am aiming for 6040 size
[18:31:20] <GuShH_> XXCoder1: yeah, bad
[18:32:01] <XXCoder1> my end stage is largish 2'x4' cnc using 8020
[18:32:04] <GuShH_> my ultimate goal is for a metal milling cnc about that size.
[18:32:08] <XXCoder1> or maybe even larger lol
[18:32:22] <GuShH_> I can fabricate it in steel, but the steppers and drivers are the most expensive portion, aside from the spindle
[18:32:33] <GuShH_> no, I can only house about that big.
[18:33:07] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: oh, the big one on the lat pic CAN mill aluminium
[18:33:16] <XXCoder1> 4'x8' work area would be awesome, instantly fits one standard sheets.
[18:33:17] <Loetmichel> steel would take forever, though
[18:33:28] <GuShH_> well, with light enough passes you could mill almost anything
[18:33:29] <Loetmichel> XXCoder1: thats feet?
[18:33:47] <XXCoder1> yeah sorry, I live at imperial system country, usa
[18:33:53] <GuShH_> But I would need to figure out projects that could be sold to pay for the machine or at least the running costs
[18:34:16] <Loetmichel> the gantry in the last pic can move about 2400mm by 1400mm by 300mm
[18:34:19] <GuShH_> otherwise I'm going to end up heavily in debt heh
[18:34:32] <Loetmichel> i am to lazy now to convert that in feet ;-)
[18:34:36] <GuShH_> that means custom / ordered leadscrews?
[18:34:56] <GuShH_> 4 feet is like 1.3 meters or so
[18:35:05] <GuShH_> 1.2192 says the calculator
[18:35:07] <XXCoder1> I'm going for no debt way. it means saving up for over a year though lol since I am also saving up for car at same time since my current has serious issue
[18:35:22] <GuShH_> so 2.4 meters is almost 8 feet
[18:35:27] <Loetmichel> XXCoder1: it helps to work with computers
[18:35:37] <Loetmichel> occasionally something gets thrown out

[18:36:16] <GuShH_> but I refuse to use different steppers
[18:36:52] <GuShH_> XXCoder1: no car makes it a lot harder too
[18:36:59] <XXCoder1> I has a car
[18:37:01] <GuShH_> means having to pay crazy shipping fees
[18:37:10] <GuShH_> is it that bad that you want another one? heh
[18:37:14] <XXCoder1> it has bad design flaw that evenually will destroy tranny
[18:37:25] <GuShH_> the driver?
[18:37:26] <GuShH_> :p

[18:37:54] <GuShH_> hrmm who drives automatic?
[18:37:55] <GuShH_> oh yeah americans
[18:37:59] * GuShH_ hifives Loetmichel
[18:37:59] <XXCoder1> thats why 1998 and older contours is pretty hard to find
[18:38:07] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: me too...
[18:38:11] <Loetmichel> automatic
[18:38:11] <GuShH_> DAMN YOU
[18:38:15] <GuShH_> you are not an old lady
[18:38:16] <XXCoder1> mine is 1998 - last year lol
[18:38:23] -!- motioncontrol has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:38:33] <Loetmichel> but unlike americans i CAN drive stick shift ;-)
[18:38:46] <GuShH_> americans can but they don't care, or are too lazy.
[18:38:47] <XXCoder1> lol, autos is VERY common., I'd have to pay 1k $ or more for drive stick
[18:38:49] <Loetmichel> no, i am not, but my wife has a bad hip
[18:38:55] <GuShH_> here autos cost more.
[18:39:01] <GuShH_> plus they are heavier, slower...
[18:39:04] <Loetmichel> and she is occasionaly driving my car
[18:39:07] <XXCoder1> my bro love stick but has wife too
[18:39:08] <GuShH_> cost more to repair the transmission
[18:39:13] <Loetmichel> which hurts if she has to clutch
[18:39:26] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: I was joking, you can drive whatever you want...
[18:39:27] <XXCoder1> me well I never was very good on focusing, driving takes enough focus without having to deal with stick too
[18:39:31] <GuShH_> including a sausage van
[18:39:43] <GuShH_> or rather, specially a sausage / hotdog van.
[18:39:48] <Loetmichel> XXCoder1: no need to focus
[18:39:57] <Loetmichel> that works automatically after a few days
[18:39:58] <GuShH_> it becomes second nature
[18:40:01] <GuShH_> like on a motorcycle
[18:40:07] <Loetmichel> without brain interaction
[18:40:19] <GuShH_> "you become part of ze machineeee"
[18:40:20] <XXCoder1> it dont work for me. not for 10 years
[18:40:23] <Loetmichel> ear hears to much refs and hand shifts by itseld
[18:40:28] <XXCoder1> well 11 I guess
[18:40:34] <XXCoder1> and uh I'm deaf :P
[18:40:39] <GuShH_> I really want to go back to 2 wheels....
[18:40:43] <GuShH_> but you can't carry crap on 2 wheels.
[18:40:59] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: no trailer for your motorcycle?
[18:41:00] <GuShH_> XXCoder1: oh well that's a problem with stick
[18:41:01] <Loetmichel> :-)
[18:41:04] <XXCoder1> GuShH_: sure you can. in least till you go to restroom. ;)
[18:41:05] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: that's too hippie for me
[18:41:11] <XXCoder1> gush my bro drives it just fine
[18:41:15] <GuShH_> haha
[18:41:15] <XXCoder1> hes deaf too
[18:41:25] <GuShH_> sure you can watch at the rev counter
[18:41:33] <GuShH_> but that adds to the focus / stress
[18:41:38] <XXCoder1> can easily feel the revs
[18:41:42] <Loetmichel> if you are deaf you have to feel the revs on the steering wheel vibrations ;-)
[18:42:02] <CaptHindsight> JFC why does keiling have different max supply voltages for every stepper drive?
[18:42:10] <XXCoder1> yeah issue never was hearing revs, I just suck on driving
[18:42:20] <GuShH_> you SUCK
[18:42:34] <GuShH_> at least you don't BLOW.
[18:42:40] * GuShH_ grins
[18:42:43] <XXCoder1> yet I have to drive large van everyday lol. in least around parking lot, glad I dont have to actually drive out into roads lol

[18:43:05] <GuShH_> ugh
[18:43:08] <GuShH_> I couldn't drive non sync
[18:43:16] <GuShH_> I would grind the gears down after an hour.
[18:43:30] <Loetmichel> he ended up to use the clutch only for accelerating from standstill
[18:43:44] <GuShH_> that thing is too wasteful in fuel (diesel I presume)
[18:43:53] <IchGuckLive> SOMEONE can check if AUDIO and YID quality is ol for Fixing the G81 Issue on heekscad Please

[18:43:55] <Loetmichel> the rest was just "pull the gear out, rev matchicg, press the gear in"
[18:44:02] <IchGuckLive> i just uploaded the tut
[18:44:02] <CaptHindsight> oh it's just bad info on the website, the website says 36V and the silk screen on the drive says 48V

[18:44:56] <GuShH_> CaptHindsight: yeah those are the ones I can buy here, but they have another name..
[18:45:09] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: waste.
[18:45:09] <Connor> CaptHindsight: That one probably best with 36v PSU
[18:45:13] <Loetmichel> = ~8mpg
[18:45:16] <IchGuckLive> Gear grinder is a money grapper
[18:45:18] <CaptHindsight> probably Leadshine
[18:45:23] <GuShH_> it is.
[18:45:34] <GuShH_> and they claim "real leadshine, not a copy" (??)
[18:45:36] <IchGuckLive> leadshine ;-) O.o
[18:45:42] <GuShH_> but it's based on the same ICs
[18:45:47] <CaptHindsight> Connor: but the other Leadshine are 60+ VDC in
[18:45:57] <GuShH_> one sec
[18:45:59] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: but being ex german military it drove moste of the time with waste oil

[19:45:19] <GuShH_> it cuts beautifully, but it would wreck everything with rust.
[19:45:45] <GuShH_> which is why I wondered in the first place, why not use diluted car coolant instead of the water

[22:07:42] <XXCoder1> electric system would have to be full size though

[22:22:48] <andypugh> Well, no more than there is anything wrong with the phrase "vertical integration"
[22:22:58] <CaptHindsight> what they don't understand is that their simple printers and costly materials won't change much of anything
[22:23:00] <MattyMatt> especially with reprap pirahnas eating their main food
[22:23:26] <MattyMatt> open source scanners are getting better too tho
[22:23:34] <andypugh> Cheap printers anc costly consumables seems to have worked OK for the inkjet printer folks.
[22:23:36] <XXCoder1> $3000 with basic model with cnc addon
[22:23:38] <CaptHindsight> similar to the delusions that reprap users seem to have
[22:24:02] -!- PCW [PCW!~chatzilla@99.88.10.65] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:24:13] <MattyMatt> oh materials are getting cheaper
[22:24:48] <MattyMatt> you can build a machine for $500 that makes usable filament out of pellet or shredded scrap
[22:24:52] <CaptHindsight> the difference between inkjet and 3D printing is that inkjet kept a tight grip on the sale and price of the printheads
[22:25:18] <andypugh> http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/science-technology/3d-printers-a-total-pile-of-shit-2012112250095
[22:26:21] <CaptHindsight> FDM is only a very small part of 3D printing, just don't try and have that conversation with any of the reprap fans
[22:26:41] <CaptHindsight> FDM can't even compete with injection molding
[22:26:44] <XXCoder1> Matt theres even cheaper methods
[22:27:46] <andypugh> If I ever make a 3D printer, it will be for printing sand moulds for patternless casting. That interests me a lot more than plastic Yodas.
[22:27:50] <MattyMatt> you can put an extruder that uses pellets directly on a giant printer, but then what you've got is effectively an IM machine
[22:28:27] <MattyMatt> andypugh, would you consider lost PLA instead?
[22:28:41] <MattyMatt> PLA burns out at least as cleanly as wax
[22:28:58] <XXCoder1> matt
http://www.filastruder.com/products/filastruder-kit
[22:28:59] <andypugh> Not for the size of thing I want to cast. There's this 9 litre, 4 cylinder engine...
[22:28:59] <CaptHindsight> FDM is really slow and low res, low volume plastic toys are about its best fit
[22:29:53] <CaptHindsight> sand casting using inkjet binder is pretty fast, CAD in the a.m., cast parts by the afternoon
[22:30:00] <andypugh> CaptHindsight: Have you read "Rule 34" by Charlie Stross?
[22:31:11] <CaptHindsight> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_34_%28novel%29 nope
[22:32:05] <andypugh> Stross tends to throw away ideas in side plots that others would make a trilogy of. Part of that book is exploring how a world of 3D printers meshes with copyright etc. And there is a funny moment when an illicit backyard 3D printer gets a virus and stars printing small penises.
[22:32:15] <MattyMatt> XXCoder1, yeah filastruder is the best you can buy a kit for atm, but it's worth scaling it up a bit IMO, closer to a screw driven IM machine
[22:32:22] <XXCoder1> maybe
http://deltaprinter.co.za/filamentextruder/index.html
[22:33:19] <andypugh> Worth making properly too, like with a lathe and milling machine. Just a thought, like.
[22:33:38] <tjb1> p0st4L: wake up
[22:33:45] <andypugh> Using a drill bit as the auger is pretty inspired though.
[22:34:25] <MattyMatt> that's the biggest weakness IMO, you need the taper to get enough pressure
[22:34:39] <andypugh> Ah, yes, I can see that.
[22:35:07] <XXCoder1> last link combined with
http://www.filastruder.com/collections/spare-parts/products/filawinder lol
[22:35:19] <XXCoder1> you now has handy pair to make whatever
[22:35:20] <tjb1> anyone here have a Fluke VT02?
[22:35:34] <MattyMatt> I read that's what does most of the melting on an IM machine, the heater band is just to keep the nozzle flowing
[22:35:41] <andypugh> PID control of temperature and linking extrusion rate to an optical diameter measurement would also help. I don't think it need to be a laser or anything clever, just an LED/sensor pair working in the analogue region.
[22:37:01] <CaptHindsight> you can go from CAD in the morning to a cast mold for injection molding in one day, and then pump out plastic toys every few seconds
[22:37:12] <andypugh> Ah, the only other thing that people make, other than Yoda, the sexy girl. I wonder who she is?
[22:37:46] <CaptHindsight> you can print a new mold every day that good for thousands of shots
[22:38:16] <CaptHindsight> FDM was a neat proto tech from the 80's
[22:38:18] <MattyMatt> she's called the pink panther lady, fo some reason. I dunno if it's authentic copy of a scene from the film
[22:38:48] <XXCoder1> http://makezine.com/projects/guide-to-3d-printing-2014/glow-plug-3d-printer-extruder/ probably something I could make if ever has cnc lol
[22:39:33] <andypugh> If you had CNC, why wouldn't you make something more elegant?
[22:39:48] <MattyMatt> little cartridges like mini soldering iron innards, are the current rage
[22:39:54] <andypugh> You don't need CNC for that. You need a power drill and a file.
[22:40:08] <MattyMatt> we've mostly stopped embedding wire wound resistors in fire cement

[22:41:24] <MattyMatt> yeah that was the way before wire-wound resistors
[22:41:28] <andypugh> But then, I do have quite a lot of nichrome wire.

[22:47:32] <andypugh> I looked at injection-moulding 20 polyimide parts a year. Compared to the price of machining the glass-ceramic alternative, it looked like a winner.

[22:48:01] <andypugh> Yes, bulk kapton
[22:49:06] <MattyMatt> latest hot ends are good to 500 or 600C, so you could print peek, and other high temp thermoplastics
[22:49:08] <CaptHindsight> andypugh: yes but not by FDM
[22:50:06] <andypugh> Looking at it, I see the problem. You can injection-mould it (the company I talked to were happy to quote) but it doesn't suit FDM

[23:21:26] <GuShH_> XXCoder1: baby oil? the heck
[23:21:41] <XXCoder1> minerial oil lol
[23:21:46] <GuShH_> sure
[23:21:56] <andypugh> Making oil from babies is frowned upon nowadays

[23:22:55] <GuShH_> "engraving machine"
[23:23:02] <GuShH_> notice how cheap mills are "mill drills" same here
[23:23:05] <GuShH_> it's not a milling machine.
[23:23:15] <MattyMatt> ah light cuts :)
[23:23:20] <andypugh> That's fairly neat, but in any volume I am sure an iron casting would be cheaper.
[23:23:26] <GuShH_> waste of money get a real bridgeport for that!
[23:23:45] <MattyMatt> yeah cast iron would triple the shipping cost tho
[23:23:55] <GuShH_> you get it local
[23:24:09] <CaptHindsight> alibaba is going public in the USA
[23:24:25] <MattyMatt> they should do it hollow fibreglass which you fill with concrete :)

[23:25:09] <XXCoder1> theres online plans to make large lathe from concerete
[23:25:20] <XXCoder1> I guess thats possible lol
[23:25:22] <GuShH_> 70KG haha toy.
[23:25:37] <CaptHindsight> epoxy concrete
[23:25:40] <MattyMatt> that's how I plan to do a reprapped mill. hollow print which you ram with cement
[23:25:46] <GuShH_> "finally a mill you can pick up"
[23:26:01] <CaptHindsight> it's portable
[23:26:09] <GuShH_> >_<
[23:26:15] <GuShH_> I like the tupperware
[23:26:19] <GuShH_> very arduino of them
[23:26:32] <GuShH_> they used to give you a real toolbox
[23:26:34] <GuShH_> haha
[23:26:35] * JT-Shop is back in the land of Popeye's and sane roads...
[23:26:59] <MattyMatt> the electronics do look rinkydink. probably TB6560
[23:27:01] <CaptHindsight> welcome back JT, how was the weather?
[23:27:07] <GuShH_> "market research shows the target demographic prefers tupperware over actual toolboxes"

[23:29:23] <CaptHindsight> to the lumber yard
[23:29:24] <JT-Shop> I usually do but I'm looking for an important one
[23:29:31] <MattyMatt> CaptHindsight, yeah just buy gravel & sand locally
[23:30:24] <CaptHindsight> decent epoxy is only $3-4 per lb
[23:30:33] <CaptHindsight> density is ~1
[23:30:42] <MattyMatt> I can't get it that cheap
[23:30:53] <CaptHindsight> by the drum
[23:31:07] <CaptHindsight> we get it in 200kg drums
[23:31:22] <MattyMatt> the polyester stuff shinks a bit. pure epoxy is zero shrinkage
[23:31:29] -!- The_Ball has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[23:31:31] <CaptHindsight> it depends
[23:31:48] <CaptHindsight> and once you start adding sand, pebbles, beads etc
[23:32:16] <MattyMatt> yeah, it's better than portland cement for sure
[23:32:31] <GuShH_> hipster cement?
[23:32:35] <MattyMatt> although that's so cheap, it's still on my menu
[23:32:42] <CaptHindsight> not sure who sells drums in the UK
[23:32:50] <CaptHindsight> maybe rahn
[23:33:00] <MattyMatt> any boatbuilder
[23:33:17] <CaptHindsight> Ineos
[23:33:17] <MattyMatt> that's where 90% of fibreglass goes here
[23:33:45] <andypugh> Glasplies, Liverpool
[23:34:37] <andypugh> http://www.glasplies.co.uk
[23:34:41] <MattyMatt> sweet
[23:35:32] <MattyMatt> £94 for 7.5kg of epoxy. that's about what I've found elsewhere
[23:36:21] <CaptHindsight> $155.40 wow for 7.5kg?
[23:36:38] <_methods> west system?
[23:36:47] <MattyMatt> so ~£8 a lb which is around $12 I think atm
[23:36:52] <CaptHindsight> the pricey stuff is $8/kg
[23:36:53] <humble_sea_bass> west systems is good
[23:36:57] <_methods> hell yeah
[23:37:02] <humble_sea_bass> but you pay a premium for i dunno what
[23:37:09] <_methods> quality
[23:37:11] <CaptHindsight> yeah, so they mark it up 100%
[23:37:16] <humble_sea_bass> mainly for being able to go grab it in midtown manhattan
[23:37:33] <_methods> we used to buy it in 55 gal drums lol
[23:37:37] <_methods> was a bit cheaper
[23:37:55] <andypugh> glasplies are very helpful, and have been in the game for decades
[23:37:59] <_methods> for exterior column glue ups and architectural woodwork
[23:38:10] <MattyMatt> and they are local for me
[23:38:17] <_methods> you don't want to buy cheap epoxy
[23:38:25] * MattyMatt wonders If I can tote 25kg drums on the bus
[23:38:35] <GuShH_> doubtful
[23:38:36] <andypugh> I think I borrowed my folk's car and dropped in when I made my bike panniers
[23:38:36] <CaptHindsight> http://www.rahn-group.com/en/cosmetics/sales/rahn/
[23:38:37] <_methods> especially when you've got $100,000 worth of some exotic wood going in something
[23:39:18] <CaptHindsight> 20kg pails are usually $2-3 more per lb
[23:39:25] <CaptHindsight> the encourage drum sales
[23:39:28] <CaptHindsight> they
[23:39:55] <humble_sea_bass> I used to use the west systems epoxy to coat pool coping at this skate park. it was the only thing that kept the skateboards from killing the coping
[23:40:01] <_methods> you gotta hustle on a hot day doing a big glue up
[23:40:09] <CaptHindsight> http://igmresins.com/contact#united-kingdom
[23:40:18] <_methods> yeah west system is hard to beat
[23:40:57] <humble_sea_bass> the additives were super fun too
[23:41:26] <_methods> hell yeah
[23:41:27] <_methods> the filler
[23:41:31] <_methods> or whatever you want
[23:41:36] <humble_sea_bass> people nearly died when we added graphite and it made the surface so slic
[23:41:41] <_methods> hehehhehe
[23:41:42] <CaptHindsight> a 200kg drum will be ~$2000
[23:41:42] <_methods> i bet
[23:41:46] <XXCoder1> ow
[23:41:53] <_methods> http://www.mscdirect.com/product/00063909?src=pla&008=-99&007=Search&pcrid=15557577904&006=15557577904&005=21882504424&004=4409695744&002=2167139&mkwid=sJXegN7a0%7Cdc&cid=PLA-Google-PLA+-+Test_sJXegN7a0_PLA__15557577904_c_S&026=-99&025=c
[23:42:04] <_methods> that's another secret thing
[23:42:14] <_methods> you ever need to tap something untappable
[23:42:21] <XXCoder1> humble you know you have gone too far when skateboard wheels dont rotate at all on it. ;)
[23:42:25] <_methods> put a bit of that on angelina jolies lips
[23:42:32] <XXCoder1> just very smoothly slide lol
[23:42:33] <humble_sea_bass> for cheap epoxy i order from US Composites
[23:42:36] <MattyMatt> graphite filler would be good on a machine tool, I think
[23:42:50] <MattyMatt> unless you were planning to paint it
[23:43:05] <_methods> you can tap granite with a dull spoon if you use that anchor lube
[23:43:05] <humble_sea_bass> Grinding on the coping was some scary shit while we had the graphite
[23:43:58] <JT-Shop> the amazing thing is you can travel from Puerto Rico to Swamp East Missouri in 11 hrs
[23:44:28] <MattyMatt> yeah it takes forever since they stopped running concorde on that route :)
[23:44:48] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, how far to the local airport?
[23:45:00] <JT-Shop> 2.5hrs to anywhere
[23:45:05] <JT-Shop> 3 to some
[23:45:08] <_methods> ouch

[23:45:28] <humble_sea_bass> this is the thing we coated in murder epoxy
[23:45:36] <_methods> nice
[23:45:37] <humble_sea_bass> just the coping
[23:45:39] <_methods> haha murder epoxy
[23:45:40] <XXCoder1> lol
[23:45:47] <JT-Shop> anyway just like Dorthy said "there ain't no place like home"
[23:45:56] <_methods> at least you can see stars
[23:45:59] <JT-Shop> see you guys tomorror
[23:46:02] <JT-Shop> w
[23:46:04] <XXCoder1> humble for njon-skaters, whats "coping"?
[23:46:24] <_methods> it's the top edge
[23:46:27] <_methods> of a pool
[23:46:31] <_methods> or curb
[23:46:33] <XXCoder1> ok
[23:46:34] <humble_sea_bass> it is the blocks that sit on top of your pool

[23:47:41] <andypugh> I did a day trip to germany on friday, then a 3 day trip this week. I have had enough of flying until at least next week.
[23:47:42] <_methods> i did that level on tony hawk
[23:48:39] <humble_sea_bass> XXCoder1: as it turned out, defrosting the skatepark with gasoline is a terrible idea
[23:48:53] <XXCoder1> cracked?
[23:49:06] <humble_sea_bass> it got rid of the ice, but the fumes at the bottom of the pool were real fucking bad
