[00:15:11] <andypugh> somenewguy: You have to do the maths manually. G-code doesn’t know enough. It’s normally advised to use inverse-time mode (a non-obvious way to program “this move takes so long”)
[00:16:07] <andypugh> Specifially, G-code doesn’t know if Z=0 is the work surface or the axis, or something else, so it can’t do the maths by itself.

[00:37:28] <somenewguy> ok cool, I kinda suspected that might be the case, but you never know till you ask
[00:38:07] <somenewguy> thought there might a mode where it is simply explicit, like w/ new axis terms or something
[00:38:48] <somenewguy> maybe a SFM calculator will be my first python GUI project, have been meaning to trysomething like that
[00:41:05] <somenewguy> in the meantime I will read about inverse time mode, I have seen it in passing and been kinda 0.o but I guess if this is a place it makes sense, its time to learn
[00:42:55] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:45:31] <andypugh> It makes sense apart from being inverse :-)
[00:46:53] <andypugh> I guess they wanted bigger numbers to still mean “faster” or perhaps the early controllers couldn’t manage non-integers?
[00:47:43] <somenewguy> ill buy both of those excuses lol
[00:48:09] <XXCoder1> and some vowels?
[00:48:14] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:49:14] <somenewguy> only if I have any change left
[00:51:23] <somenewguy> ok now that I am actually reading closely, inverse time feedrate is not as bizzare as it sounded in passing.
[00:51:49] <somenewguy> the units are super sensible, if you know path length, hte value is the feedrate, right?
[00:52:20] <somenewguy> no, false
[00:55:52] <somenewguy> F * distance = actual move rate
[00:56:16] <somenewguy> units/minute
[00:57:01] <somenewguy> thank goodness for named variables

[04:07:14] <somenewguy> a buddy of mine is cleaning his house (I think he has a secret GF or something) and is getting rid of/selling TONS of his collection of junk
[04:07:40] <somenewguy> he has 2 "laser tables" or at least thats what I have always called them, those flat steel tables w/ holes on a 2x2 grid and a honeycomb center
[04:07:53] <somenewguy> I assume he got them out of the trash at his old work, mayyyyyybe he paid for them
[04:08:25] <somenewguy> I don't want to insult him, but I wouldn't mind scoring one on the cheap, anyone have any clue what I should offer, I think it was a 3x4 table, probably w/ minor damage
[04:08:56] <somenewguy> I would use it for TIG welding and measuring, so its not quite perfect, but close enough if the price is right ya know?
[04:10:41] <XXCoder1> cant help you on that but good luck :)
[04:10:52] <XXCoder1> I heard some metal shops do give away some scrap sometimes
[04:10:57] <XXCoder1> expecially to people who help
[04:11:57] <somenewguy> he usedto work for a optics shop of some kind (telescope mirrors etc I think) so I assume he pulled them from the trash, and a place that fancy usuallly has expensive trash haha
[04:12:22] <somenewguy> and if he spent money on them, I am sure he would have used them by now, those things are probably wicked expensive new, but lose all value w/ a single ding
[04:12:36] <XXCoder1> lol place I work at has lots fancy wood trash'
[04:12:41] <somenewguy> I also got ~10 400W UPSs from him for free
[04:12:44] <XXCoder1> too damn bad my car is too small to bring most of em
[04:12:54] <somenewguy> I wanted one, but I had to take all or none lol
[04:13:29] <somenewguy> half work, but I am just junking all but two. I also bought his old mountain bike, so hopefully hei s in a dealing mood next time I see him
[04:13:42] <XXCoder1> for example I saw one EXPENSIVE pallet in wood scrap - it has plywood covers. yes covers with S. With 2x4 wood as frame
[04:13:51] <XXCoder1> oit'd be perfect to scrap to build cnc
[04:13:57] <XXCoder1> but nooo too damn big lol
[04:14:03] <XXCoder1> 4'x4'
[04:14:17] <somenewguy> haha yeah
[04:14:52] <somenewguy> I got a triple phase disconnect box out of the trash, for like 400 amp fuses or something crazy like that, still trying to figure out what to do with it
[04:14:57] <somenewguy> its jsut too cool to let it get trashed
[04:15:09] <somenewguy> HUUUUGE handle that goes CLANG when you flip it
[04:15:09] <XXCoder1> tempted to strap it on top of car. my car is conking out tranny anyway so basically unsalable.
[04:15:23] <XXCoder1> lol
[04:18:17] <XXCoder1> tempted to just fuck it and pour antilock in tranny even though its almost full
[04:18:24] <XXCoder1> no idea how to drain just liter

[04:22:04] <XXCoder1> but it runs fine if below 40
[04:22:20] <XXCoder1> at freeway speeds it evenually has very hard kick when shifting
[04:22:31] <XXCoder1> almost enough for whiplash
[04:23:29] <somenewguy> yeah thats not good
[04:23:35] <XXCoder1> yeah
[04:23:40] <XXCoder1> ford contour 1998
[04:23:48] <XXCoder1> fucking last year with troque convertor flaw
[04:23:53] <somenewguy> I have been without a real car for almost 3 months now, engine exploded on my 73 bus
[04:24:03] <somenewguy> driving the toy car in the cold succckckkkks
[04:24:10] <XXCoder1> lol
[04:24:14] <XXCoder1> used to own vw bug
[04:24:16] <XXCoder1> loved it
[04:24:28] <somenewguy> but I am almost done with the rebuild, be backon the road as soon as my second set of piston rings show up (ordered the wrong size)
[04:24:41] <somenewguy> they are great cars, I have built a few
[04:24:54] <XXCoder1> nice
[04:29:47] <XXCoder1> man I look forward to work tues lol
[04:29:54] <XXCoder1> first day I will operate cnc router
[04:30:08] <XXCoder1> none too fancy, I dont actually create toolpaths and stuff
[04:30:13] <XXCoder1> but hey cnc
[04:31:05] <XXCoder1> happened sooner than I thought. probably because I worked so hard
[04:39:16] <humble_sea_bass> xx, new job?
[04:40:11] <XXCoder1> well training job basically
[04:40:27] <XXCoder1> at shop to make airplane parts
[04:40:34] <humble_sea_bass> is someone gonna cut you a check in two weeks?
[04:40:37] <XXCoder1> for 4 weeks I worked at clamp packaging
[04:41:06] <XXCoder1> then cnc machine for 4 weeks I assume unless I somehow was so good they found perment job for me faster than that lol

[04:46:07] <XXCoder1> probably why I cant find job in my major
[04:47:23] <humble_sea_bass> interviews are squirly situations
[04:48:07] <humble_sea_bass> you eitherlike those kind of situations or you dont

[08:02:21] <Einar1> It could be stiction. You command a move, but the ballscrew, mounts etc. just build up some tension. Then as it gets high enough the slide does just that. And it all starts over again.
[08:03:53] <zeeshan> hm
[08:05:47] <Einar1> Is this a lathe, mill or ... Does it have ball rails (which have almost no stiction).
[08:05:53] <zeeshan> lathe
[08:05:55] <zeeshan> ball screws
[08:06:22] <Einar1> Yes, but the slides? I assume cast iron on a lathe?

[08:07:56] <Einar1> Cast iron slides do have stiction. Always! Try to thump the slide with a rubber mallet at 90 degrees to the motion before making each measurement.
[08:08:27] <Einar1> And I wrote thump, not smack!
[08:09:12] <zeeshan> haha
[08:11:07] <Einar1> If the ball screw is long and small diameter it will have som flex. But usually it is in the bearings and the mounts. They need to be beefy not to flex. Pictures?
[08:12:08] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/B495MXT.jpg
[08:12:14] <zeeshan> thats the best pic i have of em =D
[08:14:21] <Einar1> Uhhh... holding it in your hand a bit of flex is to be expected. ;-)
[08:14:38] <zeeshan> haha thats an old pic
[08:14:49] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/cSJSvRY.jpg
[08:14:52] <zeeshan> thats the stepper in question
[08:14:59] <zeeshan> note i have a solid coupler now on it, not flexible
[08:15:07] <zeeshan> its 25mm dia ball screw
[08:16:39] -!- FreezingCold [FreezingCold!~FreezingC@135.0.41.14] has joined #linuxcnc
[08:18:05] <Einar1> The bearing mount looks rigid enough. The motor mount on the other hand is not rigid at all! What the torque stiffness is I can't guess at. But do expect some nasty resonances.
[08:18:41] <Einar1> A 25mm screw at 1m (?) lenght is plenty stiff.
[08:19:08] <zeeshan> 1.1 m
[08:19:59] <Einar1> Do you have a picture of the ball nut and how it's connected to the apron?
[08:22:02] <zeeshan> http://imgur.com/a/aRSsI
[08:23:38] <zeeshan> i had to mount it like that because there is a stationary ball screw cover
[08:24:53] <Einar1> That's going to give you some flex. It all adds up. But you have what? About 0.05mm? I would not expect it to be that much. Try what I said: to thump it before measure.
[08:25:01] -!- micges-dev has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[08:25:14] <zeeshan> the thing is
[08:25:18] <zeeshan> flex usually flexes
[08:25:30] <zeeshan> like i'd see it flex on the dial indicator, and then return to a static value
[08:25:33] <zeeshan> it doesn't do that
[08:25:37] <Einar1> The thump will unstick the slide and release the tension so you get closer to where the ballscrew "tells it to be".
[08:26:04] <zeeshan> ill try the thump tomorrow :D
[08:26:08] <zeeshan> its 4:30 am here! im tired :D
[08:26:25] <zeeshan> thump in the direction of travel right
[08:26:39] <zeeshan> to help overcome the stiction
[08:27:22] <Einar1> Nono! Perpendicular to the movement. You do not want the thump to influence the position, just to release the stiction.
[08:27:29] <zeeshan> ah okay
[08:27:50] <zeeshan> will do :D
[08:28:06] <zeeshan> thank you
[08:28:06] <Einar1> In this case in the direction of the cross slide.
[08:28:25] <zeeshan> i'm gonan sleep before i pass out on the keyboard :D

[08:57:00] <Einar1> On the Y of my mill the end bearing block is not stiff enough, and I have errors that looks quite cyclic if doing just one measuring pass. Reminds me I really should fix it.

[14:41:43] <malcom2073> They have their uses
[14:42:23] <Tom_itx> ?
[14:42:29] <Tom_itx> making more repraps?
[14:42:38] <malcom2073> Tom_itx ugh. I use mine for one-off prototyping electronics enclosures and the like.
[14:42:42] <Tom_itx> i'd say 70% just do that
[14:42:49] <malcom2073> Tom_itx: likely more than 70% sadly

[14:43:04] <CaptHindsight> FDM + Fiber is great
[14:43:07] <Tom_itx> i started one and decided not to finish it
[14:43:09] <XXCoder1> mine wont be making any repraps
[14:43:23] <Tom_itx> didn't really have a end use for it
[14:43:39] <CaptHindsight> or FDM for resin and fillers, or concretes
[14:44:19] <malcom2073> Like I said, they have their uses, they're not for everyone. For me, I needed a lot of one-off enclosures, so it worked out ok
[14:44:36] <malcom2073> They're not really good for end-products
[14:44:41] <CaptHindsight> I'm working with epoxy and carbon fiber deposition to make carbon fiber parts with complex geometries
[14:45:17] <XXCoder1> new printer idea: epoxy-sand printer
[14:45:33] <CaptHindsight> sand + binder
[14:45:36] <XXCoder1> do it. if you get lots money bump some to me, enough for new car and printer
[14:45:46] <CaptHindsight> been done
[14:45:55] <XXCoder1> kickstart it anyway lol
[14:46:04] <CaptHindsight> low viscosity binder is inkjetted onto the sane
[14:46:07] <CaptHindsight> heh
[14:46:24] <CaptHindsight> water based epoxy
[14:46:52] <XXCoder1> isnt it mean water would dissolve that
[14:46:57] <CaptHindsight> that's one of my uses for the modified diesel fuel injectors
[14:47:17] <CaptHindsight> 30,000 psi at the tip
[14:47:40] <CaptHindsight> the water carries the epoxy
[14:47:42] <XXCoder1> well modifiction of idea then
[14:47:51] <XXCoder1> RGB printer
[14:47:52] <CaptHindsight> the water evaporates and then the epoxy cures
[14:48:06] <XXCoder1> 3 colors mixed to make certain color, just like inkjet and such
[14:48:22] <malcom2073> iirc, inkjet epoxy based stuff is patented
[14:48:28] <XXCoder1> so it would have colorspace similar with printer
[14:48:37] <malcom2073> anything spraying epoxy onto a powder
[14:48:37] <XXCoder1> black too actually lol
[14:48:46] <CaptHindsight> yeah so it's another Chinese special

[14:49:11] <CaptHindsight> white
[14:49:19] <XXCoder1> ahh yea

[14:50:49] <CaptHindsight> it can also be done with other substrates
[14:51:03] <XXCoder1> while I think that is cool I'm uncertain about using that much paper.
[14:51:06] <CaptHindsight> think plywood but with other composites

[14:54:00] <malcom2073> And about how flimsy reprap is
[14:54:46] <malcom2073> It's about how you say it
[14:55:02] <CaptHindsight> there's a whole generation of people that react to opposing views with hostility
[14:55:40] <CaptHindsight> they have been well trained
[14:56:41] <CaptHindsight> lots of dreamers that don't really see the limitations of the FDM with flimsy frames
[14:56:59] <CaptHindsight> and a limited range of materials
[14:57:43] <CaptHindsight> that type of FDM won't change the manufacturing world
[14:58:26] <malcom2073> See if you go in there assuming they're going to be hostile, they will. If you go in there assuming they're normal people and talk to them as such, then they're quite reasonable. Like any IRC channel really
[14:58:38] <malcom2073> Yes there are a few fanatics, there always will be

[15:03:23] <malcom2073> That's 3d printing in general just because it's a buzz word
[15:03:31] <Tom_itx> that was a point i noticed. nearly every successful reprapper was in channel selling something
[15:04:49] <CaptHindsight> it used to be about making things work
[15:04:51] <Tom_itx> they got mad at me for logging the channel too
[15:04:56] <malcom2073> Super low cost of entry, it's easy to "design" things, print them, and sell them to others. (Design is used lightly)
[15:05:05] <malcom2073> Really? it's publicly logged
[15:05:05] <CaptHindsight> now it's just sales agendas

[15:09:17] <malcom2073> Yeah, it's not for everyone. You really have to have a specific purpose in mind (be that printing more printers... ugh...) or some intent for it for it to really be useful, it's not like a mill wher eit can be used for almost anything
[15:09:23] <CaptHindsight> cutting laminate wastes too much material, but if you can weave or layer fibers as you fill with resin there is very little waste
[15:10:15] <CaptHindsight> the GGG extruders are like glue guns, a proper gear pump can handle all sorts of plastics and composites
[15:11:08] <CaptHindsight> large inkjet printers use valves for jetting with nozzle spacing similar to what FDM requires
[15:11:58] <CaptHindsight> I thought someone would beat me to it but a nozzle array that scans vs vector would have much higher print/fill rates
[15:12:17] <XXCoder1> finally found out why one block jams. one of its bearing channels is jammed
[15:12:22] <XXCoder1> balls dont rotate freely
[15:12:44] <CaptHindsight> crud or square bearing?
[15:12:45] <malcom2073> CaptHindsight: I've often wondered why the pellet extruders didn't use a heated gear pump

[15:13:22] <malcom2073> CaptHindsight: yeah when I see tech details I'll believe it :)
[15:13:24] <CaptHindsight> no video or pics so I'm not usre about this one either
[15:14:00] <CaptHindsight> nice bags of pellets though
[15:14:36] <malcom2073> They are pretty, and prettysells
[15:15:02] <CaptHindsight> plastic extruders rely mostly on the friction of the screws to melt the pellets
[15:15:02] <XXCoder1> wha? one bearing channel fail. balls dont even reach higher than plastic so plastic is touching rails and balls isnt doing anything
[15:15:53] <CaptHindsight> but with really small nozzles a heater is fine
[15:16:14] <CaptHindsight> whats the viscosity of molten PLA?

[15:17:59] <CaptHindsight> http://brianbenchoff.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/extruder.gif
[15:18:22] <CaptHindsight> they also use heaters to more tightly control the heat to the zones in the barrel
[15:18:33] <malcom2073> CaptHindsight: yeah thta looks like the filastruder designs heh
[15:19:03] <CaptHindsight> http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00qsrTFDMaHLol/Kaichi-Co-Rotating-Twin-Screw-Extruder-SHJ-75-.jpg
[15:19:22] <CaptHindsight> that barrel has 6 external heaters
[15:19:52] <CaptHindsight> but that will extrude a 2-3" dia solid
[15:20:23] <CaptHindsight> for FDM it's 0.01"
[15:21:35] <CaptHindsight> grind the pellets smaller, just melt and extrude pellets as you print
[15:21:51] <CaptHindsight> grinding pellets is really low cost
[15:22:21] <CaptHindsight> PLA powder
[15:22:31] <CaptHindsight> makes the design even easier
[15:22:36] <malcom2073> Yeah, there's a bunch of designs for people making their own filament extruders, and then taking that and pritning with it
[15:23:17] <malcom2073> The big problem is, the apparatus to do so is huge, so putting it on a mobile print head doesn't make much sense. Options include making a stationary print head and a moving bed, or somehow poping the hot filament to the extruder keepign it hot
[15:23:24] <CaptHindsight> this would use PLA powder, no filament
[15:23:30] <malcom2073> Oh!
[15:23:45] <CaptHindsight> so the extruder would lighter
[15:23:50] <malcom2073> So you'd pipe pressurised powder to the hotend, and it would melt/extrude it there?
[15:23:50] <CaptHindsight> would be
[15:24:00] <malcom2073> via a flexiable hose I assume
[15:24:10] <CaptHindsight> powder at the head
[15:24:17] <CaptHindsight> melt and extrude
[15:24:31] <malcom2073> Right, but an auger or gear drive setup is heavy
[15:24:41] <malcom2073> Or am I misunderstanding?
[15:24:49] <CaptHindsight> yes, thats why the powder
[15:25:14] <malcom2073> how do you move the powder?
[15:25:29] <CaptHindsight> you can do it the way you were thinking but under high pressure
[15:26:08] <CaptHindsight> move the powder with a gear
[15:26:18] <malcom2073> Ah, just a small gear at the head?
[15:26:34] <CaptHindsight> yes, vs big 10lb gear pump
[15:26:43] <malcom2073> Gotcha, I like the idea
[15:26:59] <malcom2073> Would also make recycling scrap work, since everything is getting ground down to a fine powder
[15:27:20] <CaptHindsight> yeah, powder makes more sense
[15:27:37] <CaptHindsight> you can also extrude plastic powders used for SLS
[15:28:19] <CaptHindsight> or you can deposit powder like metal printers and use a laser or plasma to melt it
[15:28:21] <malcom2073> So the grinder would be dual use
[15:28:57] <CaptHindsight> deposit plastic powder and melt it at the surface
[15:29:09] <malcom2073> Yeah I saw a metal printer that did that
[15:29:29] <CaptHindsight> yeah, so same thing for plastics
[15:30:41] <XXCoder1> hm. one bearing block had one too many ball in one circuit and other one had one ball too few
[15:30:46] <XXCoder1> moved one ball and it moves better
[15:31:00] <CaptHindsight> always count your balls!
[15:31:01] <malcom2073> XXCoder1:Oops! Chinese?
[15:31:06] <XXCoder1> yep
[15:31:12] <malcom2073> always make sure you have the same number of balls on both sides... err I mean both bearings :P
[15:31:23] <XXCoder1> lol

[16:57:14] <SpeedEvil> Seems to be little reason not to make the stepper mounts out of wood.
[16:57:32] <SpeedEvil> Though you'd need to make them hold the ends, and blow air in
[17:00:21] <Jymmm> XXCoder: That's $18/each, d you ever think you might retrofit a minimill in the future?
[17:01:53] <archivist> I make the mounts as I need, cheapest
[17:02:06] <Jymmm> XXCoder: Else you could just get some thick walled aluminum tubing, cut to length to make standoffs
[17:04:44] <Jymmm> XXCoder: I guess you could do the same with two 1/2" lumber 2"x2" blocks, with two holes drilled thru them too.
[17:05:09] <Jymmm> or 3/4" MDF

[19:13:44] <tom_R2E3> hi
[19:13:58] <tom_R2E3> think I already know the answer to this but i'll ask anyway:
[19:14:24] <tom_R2E3> I've got two 24cpr encoders which I'd like to use for feed and speed override
[19:14:38] <tom_R2E3> I'm using Mesa 7i77
[19:14:59] <tom_R2E3> my Field voltage is 24, and the encoders are 5V
[19:16:08] <tom_R2E3> So, I was thinking to use the mpg pins, 16-19
[19:16:19] <pcw_home> if you use the 7I77s MPG inputs, they should just work
[19:16:31] <tom_R2E3> But i've already used two for my MPG..
[19:16:45] <tom_R2E3> I need 6
[19:17:05] <pcw_home> need another mode...
[19:18:17] <pcw_home> or better support of input the threshold setting
[19:18:59] <pcw_home> I think the 7I43 has 4 encoder inputs
[19:19:14] -!- skroon has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[19:19:17] <pcw_home> so thats an option7i73
[19:19:24] <pcw_home> 7I73 I mean
[19:21:51] <tom_R2E3> yeah
[19:22:20] <pcw_home> or a software encoder in the other FPGA connector GPIO bits
[19:22:21] <tom_R2E3> Could I move my MPG (100cpr) to one the of the axis encoder inputs that i'm not using?
[19:23:04] <pcw_home> actually better to use the axis encoder for you feed override
[19:23:35] <pcw_home> (especially if you have a detented 100 PPR MPG)
[19:24:21] <pcw_home> since the MPG inputs are 1X count mode and axis encoders dont have that mode
[19:25:35] <pcw_home> so if you have a free axis encoder that should work fine but we always prefer if you buy more stuff :-)
[19:25:46] <tom_R2E3> My MPG is 100ppr with detent. My feed and speed dials are 24ppr with detent
[19:26:43] <tom_R2E3> why is the 24ppr better for the axis encoder?
[19:27:26] <pcw_home> its not the PPR, on a MPG you want 1x mode so each tic is .001 etc
[19:27:56] <tom_R2E3> OK, and the Mode 3 pins 16-19 do this
[19:27:58] -!- larryone has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[19:28:06] <pcw_home> on the speed/feed override you are less likely to care
[19:28:23] <tom_R2E3> but the axis encoder input doesn't
[19:28:25] <pcw_home> yes 1X mode s the default
[19:28:30] <tom_R2E3> OK
[19:28:51] <tom_R2E3> so, i'll try with axis 5 and 6
[19:28:52] <pcw_home> on 24 PPR you probably want 4X mode anyway

[19:29:58] <tom_R2E3> does the common want to be 5v or ground?
[19:30:53] <pcw_home> common for field inputs is field input common
[19:30:55] <pcw_home> common for encoders is ground
[19:31:20] -!- archivist_herron has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[19:32:49] <tom_R2E3> OK so QA0, QB0 and GND
[19:32:53] <tom_R2E3> i'll give it a try
[19:32:55] <pcw_home> (the axis encoders have a ground pin) the MPG encpder need their ground pin returned to the Field voltage common
