[01:15:31] <zmi> hello I can burn it linuxcnc but when I go to reboot I just can see two option install ubuntu or view life ubuntu when I choose it doesnt work, what can i do now???
[01:20:14] <cradek> how much ram do you have?
[01:21:28] <CaptHindsight> zmi: did you try any of the suggestions from yesterday?
[01:23:02] <zmi> really i cant do it but today i have a dvd but nothing i have 2 gb
[01:23:19] <CaptHindsight> zmi: what option have you chosen?
[01:23:36] <Valen> when you say "doesnt work"
[01:23:40] <Valen> what actually happens?
[01:23:47] -!- R2E4 has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[01:25:16] <CaptHindsight> yesterday he said he would put the burned dvd in the drive and then nothing would happen, but other dvd's would load
[01:25:24] <zmi> when reboot i can see on the screen two options, install ubuntu or live dvd without install but when I put one no working
[01:25:54] <Valen> it flashes a big sign saying "no working"?
[01:26:13] <CaptHindsight> now he dest as far as the option screen but we don't know what option he chose or what actually happens
[01:26:26] <CaptHindsight> dest/gets
[01:26:32] <cradek> please explain what you see
[01:26:46] <Valen> I'm betting he probably just isn't waiting long enough, booting off a cd can take quite a while
[01:26:46] <zmi> one moment im going to use translator
[01:26:56] <Valen> or its a dodgy reader
[01:27:00] <Valen> (or writer)
[01:27:04] <cradek> maybe even take a picture of what you see, and share the picture
[01:28:11] <CaptHindsight> if this is legit
[01:30:22] <zmi> I could burn the iso image, reboot when you start with on the screen I see two options, install ubuntu or try ubuntu, I choose to try, but it does nothing, try the option not to install and nothing happens.
[01:31:17] <CaptHindsight> zmi: how long do you wait after choosing? it can take several minutes
[01:31:54] <zmi> i have wait about five or six minutes
[01:31:58] <XXCoder> expecially if cd drive is slow
[01:32:10] <Valen> what is the drive doing?
[01:32:47] <CaptHindsight> what motherboard? it might be bios issues or need kernel settings changed
[01:32:50] <zmi> cd drive stops, no sound
[01:32:54] -!- Cylly [Cylly!cylly@p54B13C5E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:33:27] <Valen> ok, I'm going from memory here but when you have the options down the bottom there is a menu and its something like press F6 to edit the kernel command line?
[01:33:40] <Valen> I can't remember which key it is
[01:33:50] -!- mejackreed has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[01:33:56] <Valen> anyway pick, try ubuntu, then press that key
[01:34:05] <zmi> I have not changed anything
[01:34:21] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[01:34:28] <Valen> then go to the end of the line with the arrow keys, then delete the bit where it says quiet splash
[01:34:36] <Valen> only delete those words
[01:34:39] <Valen> then press enter
[01:35:59] <Valen> you should get pages of stuff scrolling past
[01:36:32] <Valen> if there is too much junk it might hide the error message, in that case try just taking the splash part off instead
[01:38:30] <zmi> i think i cant do it that

[01:40:25] <Valen> press escape to get out of that menu
[01:40:35] -!- anth0ny_ has quit [Quit: anth0ny_]
[01:40:38] <Valen> it is F6, "other options"
[01:41:11] -!- jduhls has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[01:42:27] <zmi> i must delete quiet splash?
[01:43:18] <PetefromTn_> Well I did it...
[01:43:37] <PetefromTn_> I just took the plunge and ordered a BRAND NEW KURT VISE!!! YEAY!! LOL
[01:43:42] <jdh> woohoo!
[01:44:08] <PetefromTn_> I figure the pocket book will hurt for a bit but the nice vise will serve me well for years...
[01:44:31] <jdh> I thought the same about my cheapass shars
[01:44:33] <PetefromTn_> Using them at work all the time I have come to realize they are expensive for a good reason.
[01:44:39] <XXCoder> nice
[01:44:54] <PetefromTn_> I have a cheapass shars and it is giving me problems.
[01:45:06] <jdh> yours probably gets more use than mine.
[01:45:14] <XXCoder> I got bit of good news from training work too. :D They have big bin of scrap wood and said I could grab whatever
[01:45:16] <PetefromTn_> It is not very flat at all across the 6" width and the
[01:45:18] <jdh> the pin fell out of my hanlde
[01:45:33] <XXCoder> cnc wood aloy! too bad no MDF or even lamated wood
[01:45:38] <zmi> valen i must delete quiet splash in that menu?
[01:45:40] <PetefromTn_> little round piece fell out of the movement that helps the angle lock work.
[01:45:48] <jdh> and I accidentally MDI'ed the top of one jaw
[01:45:55] <jdh> decimal points matter!
[01:46:09] <Valen> if you do it will give you a clue as to what is happening yes
[01:46:17] <Valen> try just deleting spash first
[01:46:28] <PetefromTn_> Oh yeah man..
[01:46:36] <PetefromTn_> I have actually done that too.
[01:46:49] <Valen> shars?
[01:47:08] <Valen> you guys work in inches, yeah decimal points really matter
[01:47:11] <PetefromTn_> I got the Kurt 688 vise
[01:47:12] <Valen> and you want a lot of them
[01:47:27] <XXCoder> all of em?
[01:47:30] <XXCoder> ;)
[01:47:34] <PetefromTn_> decimal points matter whether you are in inches or metric.
[01:47:46] <zmi> i will i try thanks
[01:48:00] <PetefromTn_> a LOT of the parts we make at work are metric
[01:48:17] <PetefromTn_> I am getting more and more used to working with metric dimensions.
[01:48:31] -!- zmi has quit [Quit: Saliendo]
[01:48:44] <Valen> PetefromTn_: they matter less when you are working in metric ;->
[01:48:52] <Valen> about 25 times less to be precise ;->
[01:48:57] <PetefromTn_> I cannot wait to get my new vise here and be able to rely on the flatness and squarenes..
[01:49:02] <PetefromTn_> 25.4
[01:49:03] <XXCoder> I hope STL would finally replace imperial system. meteric makes more sense
[01:49:11] <Valen> which is *about* 25 ;-P
[01:49:19] <PetefromTn_> hehe
[01:49:32] -!- ravenlock has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:49:57] <PetefromTn_> I need to pickup a nice facemill now and I should be able to do about anything I need to in the machine.
[01:50:14] <zeeshan> nice PetefromTn_
[01:50:26] <zeeshan> which face mill are you going to go with?
[01:50:29] <PetefromTn_> my custom flycutter works great but having used all the different ones at work I can appreciate just how important they are.
[01:50:34] <PetefromTn_> Not really sure yet.
[01:50:44] -!- Servos4ever has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90.1 [SeaMonkey 2.26/20140428215651]]
[01:50:44] <zeeshan> flycutter surface finish > face mill
[01:50:47] <PetefromTn_> Whichever one I can get my hands on that kicks ass and does not break the bank.
[01:50:54] <zeeshan> but face mill eats metal like nothing :D
[01:51:02] <PetefromTn_> you can say that again.
[01:51:17] <zeeshan> the only way i've seen a face mill do well is
[01:51:18] <zeeshan> at gates
[01:51:24] <zeeshan> they had literally a department for "tool maintenance"
[01:51:26] <XXCoder> face eat metal lol
[01:51:31] <zeeshan> guy sat there w/ the face mills
[01:51:31] <PetefromTn_> the last two days I have been making a bunch of different 4140 and tool steel parts with a lot of facemilling.
[01:51:40] <XXCoder> also, "face mill" lol
[01:51:43] <zeeshan> and adjusted each insert down to 0.0001" in height of each other
[01:52:01] <PetefromTn_> That is not easy to do really I have found.
[01:52:11] <zeeshan> they had a jig for it
[01:52:26] <PetefromTn_> I was actually surprised at how far out the individual inserts can be.
[01:52:30] <jdh> take out all the inserts but one and you have a flycutter
[01:52:40] <zeeshan> jdh LOL
[01:52:40] <PetefromTn_> altho some of the heads have been crashed pretty good.
[01:53:05] <zeeshan> well the cheaper inserts have a tolerace of what 1 thou?
[01:53:18] <zeeshan> then the good ones are .0005" then the super expensive ones are 0.0001"?
[01:53:19] <PetefromTn_> the seco 2" insert mill I used a lot today is pretty jacked up but still eats copious amounts of metal easily.
[01:53:20] <zeeshan> i forget
[01:53:22] <jdh> I got a chinese 2.5" face mill. It seems to work well enough for me and aluminum
[01:53:52] <zeeshan> i only have the round one by seco
[01:54:01] <PetefromTn_> I never realized just how damn soft aluminum is really... Compared to all the steels we cut there ally is like freakin' butter.
[01:54:03] <zeeshan> the other one is mitsubishi!
[01:54:08] <zeeshan> with funky inserts
[01:54:45] <zeeshan> PetefromTn_: how much are you looking to spend on one?
[01:54:57] <zeeshan> i see them go for dirt cheap locally
[01:55:26] <PetefromTn_> we programmed a part today that had a 2" insert mill with a cut width in a single pass of 32mm wide and .075 deep....
[01:55:40] <zeeshan> isnt that normal?
[01:55:41] <PetefromTn_> in 4140 pre hard.
[01:55:42] <zeeshan> oh
[01:55:47] <PetefromTn_> apparently....LOL
[01:56:02] <PetefromTn_> spindle load was like 70 percent.
[01:56:20] <PetefromTn_> 1000 RPM and I cannot remember the feedrate.
[01:56:33] <zeeshan> hey PetefromTn_
[01:56:34] <PetefromTn_> I can tell you it moved some serious metal all day long.
[01:56:38] <zeeshan> have you been hearing the news about florida?
[01:56:46] <PetefromTn_> I am looking to spend as little as possible of course.
[01:56:49] <PetefromTn_> what news.
[01:56:56] <zeeshan> the flooding going on there
[01:57:27] <PetefromTn_> No where.. I just spoke to my best Friend Frank who lives in Boca raton yesterday afternoon and he said it was pretty nice there.

[02:01:25] <zeeshan> picture of pensacola, flordia
[02:03:20] <PetefromTn_> Interesting. Looks like North Florida. Florida is not immune from flooding of course especially when you consider the height above sea level.

[02:07:24] <PetefromTn_> yup...

[02:16:56] <zeeshan> i use it as a face mill
[02:16:57] <zeeshan> !
[02:17:19] <PetefromTn_> what size arbor does it take...

[02:21:08] <PetefromTn_> monster insert mill.
[02:21:16] <zeeshan> looks like a cutter from hell
[02:21:21] <PetefromTn_> we have some similar to that at work/
[02:21:27] <zeeshan> what is it used for
[02:21:55] <PetefromTn_> milling

[02:23:22] <zeeshan> yea it can be
[02:23:27] <zeeshan> its a finishing cutter
[02:24:35] <PetefromTn_> dunno.
[02:24:52] <PetefromTn_> not the best finish for a finishing cutter..

[02:27:23] <PetefromTn_> got an interesting set of projects from a local customer today. gonna start drawing on it this friday and hopefully we can get a prototype machined soon.
[02:27:43] <witnit> do tell
[02:28:25] <PetefromTn_> Well I don't wanna jinx it LOL
[02:28:38] <PetefromTn_> It is for custom sportscars tho...
[02:28:54] <PetefromTn_> particularly RX7's..
[02:29:20] <zeeshan> whatcha makin
[02:29:34] <PetefromTn_> Got a bunch of dimensions and drawings here I gotta turn into a solid model and show the customer.
[02:30:02] <PetefromTn_> Spent two hours over there today discussing it and got some original parts to go off of.
[02:30:16] <PetefromTn_> It is nothing earth shattering but I will show you if I get the job.
[02:30:27] <XXCoder> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFf6FLXDQcU crazy
[02:30:32] <PetefromTn_> Right now it is just an idea they want to explore.
[02:32:53] <PetefromTn_> I have glued op TONS of hardwoods for all sorts of projects when I worked as a custom woodworker.
[02:33:17] <PetefromTn_> We turned some crazy columns and stuff that were solid or hollow and some were quite huge.

[02:51:34] <zeeshan> i have yet to find a shop thats going out of business
[02:51:35] <PetefromTn_> I cannot remember where I got it but it is sheet plastic and has all that stuff on it. It is maybe 20x30 inches or so?

[02:51:51] <PetefromTn_> I am trying to remember.
[02:51:55] <zeeshan> i need to cover my walls!

[02:51:59] <PetefromTn_> I wonder if you can get one from Fastenal...
[02:52:04] <zeeshan> and its even more depressing looking at a tiny a4 chart
[02:52:17] <PetefromTn_> get some sexy babe posters and RX7 posters etc...
[02:52:31] <zeeshan> http://www.fastenal.com/content/documents/2012/LandingPages/Metalworking/9701309_TapDrillPoster_24x36.pdf
[02:52:33] <zeeshan> you're right
[02:52:34] <PetefromTn_> ;)
[02:52:34] <zeeshan> dude
[02:52:38] <zeeshan> fastenal makes a really nice one
[02:52:58] <PetefromTn_> yup there ya go.Probably can order one from them
[02:53:49] <PetefromTn_> mine is basically just like that but it is not from Fastenal.
[02:54:31] <zeeshan> i wonder how much that'd cost to print
[02:54:37] <zeeshan> i bet like 35$ to print and laminate
[02:55:00] <PetefromTn_> damn I hope not.
[02:55:10] <PetefromTn_> You can probably get it on some posterboard and have that laminated.

[03:05:34] <zeeshan> they're stupid expensive.
[03:05:38] <zeeshan> its prolly double what usa charges
[03:05:57] <zeeshan> 7/8 4 flute m42 end mill = $60
[03:05:58] <zeeshan> lol
[03:06:28] <PetefromTn_> actually that is not that bad for a big endmill...
[03:06:37] <zeeshan> when you buy 20 of them brand new
[03:06:38] <zeeshan> for $100
[03:06:40] <zeeshan> its really bad :P
[03:06:44] <zeeshan> (name brands too)
[03:07:00] <zeeshan> the main thing i've bought brand new is a drill point gauge

[03:12:09] <SpeedEvil> you mean plastic?
[03:12:27] <CaptHindsight> high viscosity fluids, inks, coatings, polymers, resins etc
[03:12:53] <CaptHindsight> cheap since they are made in such high volumes
[03:13:02] <SpeedEvil> It's designed for very, very low viscosity fluids
[03:13:41] <CaptHindsight> I might play with the internal orifice a bit but the nozzles will be custom
[03:13:47] <zeeshan> SpeedEvil: he knows that :P
[03:13:52] <zeeshan> he told me its of milk consistency
[03:13:54] <zeeshan> i think itll work fine
[03:14:01] <CaptHindsight> fuel is around 1cps
[03:14:07] <zeeshan> whats cps

[03:14:46] <CaptHindsight> plus at that low viscosity they eject quite a large amount of fluid
[03:14:56] <zeeshan> dynamic viscosity?
[03:15:04] <CaptHindsight> I just need 1%
[03:15:25] <CaptHindsight> viscosity of a newtonian fluid
[03:15:31] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, do all those injectors require a pressurized source, and merely are valves, or can some pump by themselves?
[03:16:16] <zeeshan> ah
[03:16:27] <zeeshan> 1 Pa*s = 10 poise
[03:16:46] <CaptHindsight> tjtr33: it depends on the design, some are merely valves, the one in the pic requires low pressure ~50psi but the internal pressure might be 20K psi at the nozzle
[03:16:47] <zeeshan> i guess the guy didnt like scientific notiation too much

[03:29:13] <zeeshan> so 44 lb/hr or so

[12:47:57] <eren_basturk> it works directly when i run with halrun
[12:49:04] <eren_basturk> but stepgen is slightly different than siggen
[12:52:36] <skunkworks__> this is on the beagle bone?
[12:54:05] <skunkworks__> must be.. I don't think you will have much luck with the software stepgen on the beagle bone. You would want to use the stepgen that is in the pru.
[12:54:50] <skunkworks__> you need 2 threads - fast and slow. the beagle bone can only really handle the servo thread (1khz) and then the fast stuff is in the pru
[12:55:59] <skunkworks__> unless 500hz is fast enough..

[15:56:26] <malcom2073> Forgive me for being an idiot here: when given a G1 command with multiple axis, it times things so all axis's reach their end point at the same time, right?
[15:57:13] <cradek> yes
[15:57:59] <cradek> that's what we call "coordinated" motion
[15:58:02] -!- amiri_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[15:59:08] <archivist> malcom2073, that is how I cut helical gears
[15:59:10] <malcom2073> Ok, another assumption: if different axis have different maximum accelerations, it accelerates them in such a way so as to not go over the maximum of any of the axis, and still maintain the path?
[15:59:23] <cradek> yes
[15:59:50] <bedah> very interesting.. please go on :)
[16:00:05] <malcom2073> So if one axis's acceleration is abnormall high (the A axis), it likely won't be achieving that acceleration, because the others would not be able to keep up?
[16:00:22] <malcom2073> max acceleration*
[16:01:12] <cradek> that really depends on the move
[16:01:43] <cradek> g0a999 certainly will; g0x.01a999 probably will too
[16:02:17] <skunkworks> it will accelerate as fast as it can without violating any of the individual axis max acceleration settings
[16:02:22] <malcom2073> Ah ok, but large linear movements with small radial movements probably won't
[16:02:31] <malcom2073> Which makes sense
[16:02:36] <cradek> yes you have a good feel for it

[16:06:52] <malcom2073> Is it possible to have different P64 path tolerance values on different axis?
[16:07:53] <malcom2073> Since the A axis has a much higher acceleration in my case, it doesn't need as large of a path tolerance as say, the X and Y to maintain a decent feed rate.
[16:07:58] <malcom2073> if I'm understanding things right

[17:05:33] <IchGuckLive> yes as a calculation ahead to the point is made it needs more thn one axis
[17:06:08] -!- jduhls has quit []
[17:06:22] <malcom2073> I want one axis to have less path tolerance than the others
[17:06:39] <IchGuckLive> you might change your strategie from xyz to a Rotation xyt
[17:06:50] <malcom2073> it's xyza atm
[17:08:21] <IchGuckLive> did you consider the interpreter v direct towards Rotation axis on Geometrie
[17:08:34] <malcom2073> I haven't a clue what that means :/
[17:09:03] <IchGuckLive> in the ini file you tell the interpreter the geometry prefert to use
[17:09:33] <IchGuckLive> if you stand a first it will display a better geometry and also effect the interpreters G64 behavier
[17:10:41] -!- ink has quit [Disconnected by services]
[17:10:47] <IchGuckLive> so Axyz in the display geometrie section forces the on load interpreter to get a better internel movement
[17:11:03] <malcom2073> I should say,this is a 3d printer
[17:11:07] <malcom2073> where A, is the extruder

[17:12:31] <IchGuckLive> malcom2073: what comp for the extruder are you using
[17:12:38] <malcom2073> comp?
[17:13:09] <IchGuckLive> to get the filament moving it needs a gcode or did you interact on axis movement
[17:13:43] <IchGuckLive> 3D printer has been my today spezial
[17:13:48] <malcom2073> The gcode gives it a distance in millimeters, and my steps per revolution reflect that conversion
[17:14:22] <IchGuckLive> i got a chance to get a look inside the 3D print shop here with 115 3D printer runing in one rom incredible
[17:14:52] <malcom2073> cool

[17:15:51] <malcom2073> Hence why I'm using linuxcnc on mine
[17:16:38] <malcom2073> My system as a whole works, I'm trying to figure out why it's overextruding in the corners. Best guess I've been able to come across so far, is that the extruder acceleration isn't coming close to its maximum, because it's trying to keep in tolerance with the other axis.
[17:16:38] <IchGuckLive> the printers have been realy small about 4x4 inch table size
[17:17:02] <malcom2073> Slow extruder acceleration can lead to ove rand under extrusion when there are head velocity changes

[17:22:23] <pcw_home> you need the delay comp so the extruder can 'look-ahead"
[17:26:53] <malcom2073> pcw_home: What's that?
[17:28:54] <archivist> to remove the material travel time between extruder and place where it should be
[17:30:21] -!- valeech has quit [Quit: valeech]
[17:30:33] <SpeedEvil> If the extruder has a delay of 1s in speeding up and slowing down - then if you slow down the xy head and the extruder at the same moment, the head will continue to flow too much for a second
[17:30:56] <archivist> which reminds me of "in flight time" in a hops weighing machine I once maintained
[17:31:00] <SpeedEvil> You need to turn down the extruder 1s before the xy head slows
[17:32:41] -!- skunkworks_ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[17:33:01] <malcom2073> SpeedEvil: makes sense, also the extruder has pressure which wil continue to extrude for a moment even after you stop stepping it'd be good to have it lookahead like that, is that possible, or is that something that should be worked into the gcode?

[17:34:08] <Connor> malcom2073: I know on steppers and reprap that they back drive the stepper to reduce the pressure.. to help eliminate fine threads across gaps and stuff..
[17:34:09] <malcom2073> Can linuxcnc do that?
[17:34:27] <malcom2073> Connor: This is on a change of acceleration though, no retracts possible
[17:34:35] <malcom2073> this isn't on a start/stop of extrusion
[17:34:46] <archivist> delay xy so the extruder has moved some material out before xy start moving
[17:34:46] <Connor> Ah. Sorry. Didn't read the whole conversation..
[17:35:56] <malcom2073> Mainly an issue when slowing down to go around a corner
[17:36:05] <malcom2073> I'm not 100% convinced that's the problem, but I'm running out of ideas :)
[17:36:33] <Connor> are you sure you have the acceleration correct on the extruder ?
[17:36:42] <malcom2073> Connor: I have it really high
[17:37:21] <Connor> You tried turning it off for the extruder ?
[17:37:35] <malcom2073> Connor: turning what off?
[17:37:43] <Connor> acceleration.
[17:37:47] <malcom2073> You can do that?
[17:37:54] <Connor> what value do you have?
[17:38:00] <malcom2073> 3000mm/second^2
[17:38:14] <Connor> in your ini file ?
[17:38:30] <malcom2073> Connor: I assume it's there, I used stepconf to make the ini file

[19:16:39] <jdh> the carving-cnc one has a better rep. .de-d00d has a random ebay one and likes it.
[19:17:09] <jdh> I actually sold a bunch of crap, got my $2000 (including shipping) and was going to buy one but I jsut can't bring myself to spend that much cash on a chinese router.

[19:17:45] <jdh> pedal

[19:31:28] <witnit> Dont buy a china machine.
[19:31:32] <witnit> imo
[19:32:20] <jdh> do you have an alternative?
[19:32:26] <jdh> taht isn't "build your own from scratch"
[19:33:23] <witnit> I heard alot of talk of these machines and not once did I ever hear the words reliable, accurate, true or ridgid.
[19:33:48] <jdh> "enough"
[19:34:06] <jdh> I would plan on replacing the wiring and electronics
[19:34:25] <SpeedEvil> It does depend.
[19:34:42] <witnit> I dont know of any prebuilt systems that are affordable and of quality jdhg
[19:34:47] <SpeedEvil> If you're engraving - you've got a whole different spec to if you want to run a 5" endmill through HSS
[19:34:53] <jdh> right, so why not get teh chinese one
[19:35:04] <jdh> it's there, amazingly cheap for the parts.
[19:35:37] <jdh> I asked for a pic of the ballscrew bearing mounts a few days ago... they just said "sorry, we don't have any. I'm a sales person not an engineer"
[19:36:20] <SpeedEvil> That's the problem.
[19:36:35] <SpeedEvil> If you actually need to know that, you need to speak chinese.
[19:36:47] <SpeedEvil> And be in china, and likely be willing to actually walk into the factory
[19:37:30] <jdh> well, it costs $1500. I coudn't buy the parts for that.
[19:37:47] <jdh> I just wanted to see if it had actual metal bearing blocks.
[19:37:53] <Loetmichel> witnit: reliable: depends. had some shaft coupler break, that was all. true: after adjusting it a bit: perfect. rigid: not so much, but sufficient for milling aluminium with small carbide bits up to 1/2" so i cant complain. got a 4 axis CNC router for less than 2000 eur including shipping. and it works at the company for more than a year now without any complaints (besides the broken couplers)
[19:38:23] <Loetmichel> so _I_ am satisfied with what i got for the buck
[19:38:59] <SpeedEvil> It really depends if you are expecting flawless, or a preassembled kit
[19:39:24] <witnit> Good :)
[19:39:26] <Loetmichel> tha latter fits the machines better ;-)
[19:40:17] <Loetmichel> the only thing tant bbugs me is the free flying ball rails on the gantry
[19:40:58] <Loetmichel> there it would have been great to invest the extra 50 eur for SBRs
[19:41:11] <Loetmichel> to gain MASSIVE in rigidity
[19:41:21] <Loetmichel> but thats chi9nese construction
[19:41:51] <jdh> they are unsupported?
[19:42:15] <SpeedEvil> jdh: they have 4 rubber feet

[19:44:32] <Loetmichel> the long (x) axis ist mae with sbr
[19:44:39] <jdh> oh, that's better than what I was thinking
[19:44:57] <Loetmichel> the y axis is made with rounf bars, screwed between the gantry sideplates
[19:45:20] <Loetmichel> you can see the two black allen screws on the right

[19:54:15] <Loetmichel> DaViruz: i build a big one for my ex boss
[19:54:38] <Loetmichel> 1500mm*1020mm*160mm travel.... and it was STILL to slamm sometimes ;-)
[19:54:41] <Loetmichel> small
[19:54:56] <DaViruz> i'd like a plasma table of that size
[19:55:15] <Loetmichel> DaViruz: would be not goot, made tha machine out of "wood"

[19:55:48] <DaViruz> i think you could probably make it work as lon as it isn't a solid wood bed.. :)
[19:56:16] <Loetmichel> 300kg of marine grade 21mm plywood and more than one 1000pack of spax 5mm*50mm ;-)

[19:57:09] <DaViruz> with clever construction 300kg of marine plywood is boud to be pretty sturdy

[19:57:47] <SpeedEvil> yeah - geometry is way more important than material in many ways
[19:58:03] <DaViruz> you could cast concrete in it possibly :)
[19:58:07] <Loetmichel> that WAS pretty darn sturdy ;-)

[20:01:42] <DaViruz> those boxed gantry sides look nice
[20:01:52] <DaViruz> most routers i've seen have such wimpy gantry sides
[20:02:00] <SpeedEvil> Box girders are really stiff - done right

[20:17:05] <SpeedEvil> Stupid hack for tablets.
[20:17:16] <SpeedEvil> Wear a black t-shirt, tilt it so that that reflects.
[20:17:50] <cradek> I only sort-of understand tablets
[20:18:15] <SpeedEvil> They are great for consumption.
[20:19:28] <Loetmichel> 7" tablets are great as "tacke it with me everywhere" conputers
[20:19:40] <Loetmichel> because they fit the jackets inner pocket
[20:19:42] <cradek> my phone is that, and it goes in my pocket

[20:22:02] <SpeedEvil> I question the use of a 10" tablet - but 7" is a nice spot
[20:22:14] <SpeedEvil> I would really like a decent 4:3 12" notebook
[20:22:17] <Loetmichel> DaViruz: of course i have a samsung note on my belt
[20:22:18] <SpeedEvil> - x60s
[20:22:18] <_methods> my 10" one is my book basically
[20:22:24] <_methods> i keep it on the night stand
[20:22:42] <SpeedEvil> I find reading on 7" quite enough - 10" would just be harder to hold
[20:22:52] <SpeedEvil> - unless it's got complex diagrams - then it's limited
[20:22:53] <Loetmichel> SpeedEvil: ask my wife
[20:22:55] <_methods> well i used to use the 7" for the book
[20:22:59] <Loetmichel> on my nightstand is the acer
[20:23:03] <_methods> but replaced with 10
[20:23:06] <Loetmichel> on hers is a chinese 10"
[20:23:13] <_methods> i'm diggin the extra room
[20:23:27] <Loetmichel> ... which is why she has a problem with her wrists at the moment
[20:23:28] <SpeedEvil> Android is depressingly limiting
[20:23:41] <DaViruz> so your wife prefers 10" to 7"? frankly that's a bit too much information
[20:23:44] <_methods> never heard that complaint lol

[22:03:18] <zeeshan> bah
[22:03:27] <zeeshan> gotta learn a completely new software for acaedmic research
[22:03:28] <zeeshan> abaqus
[22:03:40] <zeeshan> looks nicer than ansys, but damn it, gotta relearn :{
[22:03:46] <zeeshan> grrr
[22:04:06] <_methods> that's good
[22:04:19] <zeeshan> nahh man
[22:04:23] <zeeshan> means ill be useless for a month
[22:04:36] <_methods> took me a long time to figure out that all cad/cam programs do the same thing
[22:04:44] <_methods> they all draw circles, points, and lines
[22:04:49] <zeeshan> thats true for cad cam
[22:04:52] <zeeshan> not finite element analysis
[22:05:01] <_methods> they all do the same thing too
[22:05:07] <zeeshan> no
[22:05:23] <zeeshan> abaqus has some advanced algorithms from non-linear problems
[22:05:26] <zeeshan> and visco-elastic modelling
[22:05:42] <zeeshan> that i can complement with experimental data

[22:06:42] <zeeshan> the best way i can compare the two is like this
[22:06:50] <zeeshan> Matlab vs excel
[22:06:51] <zeeshan> both can do the same stuff
[22:06:58] <zeeshan> but matlab can do it better and get more advanced!
[22:08:30] <_methods> autocad vs catia
[22:08:42] <_methods> circles, lines, points
[22:08:51] <zeeshan> youre comparing 2d w/ 3d!
[22:08:52] <zeeshan> :P
[22:09:02] <_methods> all boils down the same
[22:09:13] <_methods> all your fea programs do is add and subtract
[22:09:22] <zeeshan> wut
[22:09:37] <_methods> lol you kids
[22:10:03] <_methods> one day you'll look back at this and go oh shit he was right
[22:10:34] <zeeshan> i've used solidworks, inventor, siemens nx
[22:10:43] <zeeshan> and i can tell you confidentally, they're not equally the same
[22:11:28] <_methods> haha
[22:11:28] <zeeshan> solidworks and ansys communicate parametrically
[22:11:33] <zeeshan> whereas inventor and ansys cant
[22:11:47] <zeeshan> so i can change a bolt size parametrically
[22:11:58] <zeeshan> it'll regenerate the model in solidworks, update ansys

[22:17:02] <_methods> whatever i really don't care i'm not gonna get in a pissin match
[22:17:10] <ds3> that would along make inventor not compareable to solidworks
[22:17:36] <zeeshan> ds3 i think youre thinking of autodesk alias

[22:17:51] <_methods> ^^
[22:18:15] <ds3> zeeeshan: is alias what they used to call 123D?
[22:18:31] <ds3> I do get the autodesk stuff mixed up though
[22:18:32] <zeeshan> wassat
[22:21:13] <zeeshan> inventor, solidworks and most of the main stream modelling use 'brep'
[22:21:16] <zeeshan> 'boundary representation'
[22:21:29] <zeeshan> limit based approach
[22:21:42] <zeeshan> nurbs modelling is wayyyy more advanced :P
[22:22:02] <zeeshan> all based on basis functions
[22:22:10] <zeeshan> i remember having to do it by hand, it sucked
[22:22:45] <zeeshan> actually now that i think about it
[22:22:58] <zeeshan> i bet inventor, solidworks and the big boys use some propiertary stuff

[22:26:35] <zeeshan> oh god
[22:26:38] <zeeshan> it looks so similar to alias
[22:26:39] <zeeshan> please kill me
[22:26:58] <ds3> tried it on an intel graphics card, nVidia graphics card, and that bastard graphics card from imagination
[22:26:59] <zeeshan> definitely looks nurbs based
[22:27:04] <zeeshan> i can tell by the way the curves look
[22:27:17] <ds3> heh
[22:27:18] <zeeshan> you can tell the surfaces are generated by b-rails

[23:10:08] <CaptHindsight> http://www.designworldonline.com/improving-high-speed-performance-of-hybrid-stepper-motors/
[23:10:30] <CaptHindsight> more voltage, not current, increases the torque above the critical step rate.

[23:42:44] <zeeshan> production ones
[23:42:56] <zeeshan> at least you get variations
[23:42:57] <PetefromTn_> thats the thing, this is not a production shop.
[23:43:05] <zeeshan> at gates it was a frigging f150 trans pump stuff
[23:43:07] <PetefromTn_> we make anything and everything.
[23:43:07] <zeeshan> EVERYDAY!!!
[23:43:22] <PetefromTn_> which is the only reason I am still there.
[23:43:43] <PetefromTn_> I have learned a great deal just watching and doing different parts every day.
[23:44:10] <PetefromTn_> For them a production run is like 3-500 parts.
[23:44:32] <PetefromTn_> not many thousands day in and day out like a production shop.
[23:44:47] <PetefromTn_> That would drive me absolutely insane.
[23:44:49] <zeeshan> we made 700 a day
[23:44:53] <zeeshan> but it was the same thing :P

[23:50:02] <zeeshan> cause that's all CNC is
[23:50:05] <zeeshan> pushing a button
[23:50:15] <zeeshan> (sorry joke from a couple days ago from a guy)
[23:50:23] <PetefromTn_> yeah and at home I can watch TV on my big screen while the machine is running and listen to the music I want to listen to..
[23:50:29] <zeeshan> that is true

[23:50:55] <PetefromTn_> If I need to go pick up my kids or want to take them to the park for lunch or something I just do it.
[23:51:18] <PetefromTn_> honestly even if I made less money in the end that alone is worth it to me.
[23:51:36] <PetefromTn_> really the hardest part has been the times when I did not have work.

[23:51:46] <PetefromTn_> When I have work I actually do quite well with wood or metal.
[23:51:55] <zeeshan> thats what i was trying to explain to another person here
[23:52:02] <zeeshan> 'i rather have a day job and a side job'
[23:52:04] <zeeshan> (personally)
[23:52:15] <zeeshan> because my side job isn't consistent as is..
[23:52:28] <PetefromTn_> I almost think I might ask them if I could work part time there and full time here.
[23:52:29] <zeeshan> and i can only imagine how bad it'd get if i tried to survive off it
[23:52:41] <zeeshan> yea!
[23:52:42] <zeeshan> that's a great idea
[23:52:44] <PetefromTn_> after the summer.
[23:52:52] <zeeshan> so you ALWAYS have a consistent pay cheque.
[23:53:17] <PetefromTn_> initially they asked me if I wanted to work full or part time.
[23:53:18] <zeeshan> but.. then again, i think a part time person is also easy to lay off
[23:53:31] <PetefromTn_> I said full because I wanted to learn
[23:53:35] <PetefromTn_> That is fine with me man.
[23:53:56] <PetefromTn_> Honestly it is days like today that will MOTIVATE me to get the damn work into the shop.
[23:54:10] <PetefromTn_> Beat the damn ground until I have something to make here to make money with.
[23:54:30] <PetefromTn_> the occasional slow time is inevitable even in a big shop.
[23:55:26] <PetefromTn_> When I do not have work for customers I plan to keep making the parts I make and sell them.
[23:56:11] <PetefromTn_> I noticed that kurt D688 comes with a kinda vise guard that goes down the center.
[23:56:27] <PetefromTn_> apparently it keeps chips off the leadscrew.
[23:56:40] <PetefromTn_> Funny NONE of the ones in the shop have this guard.
[23:57:01] <PetefromTn_> It is either something new or they just tossed them or something.
[23:58:18] <PetefromTn_> Well its dinner time cya guys later.
