[00:08:15] <cncformywife> do you want to see the rendering?
[00:08:28] <XXCoder2> whynt
[00:08:35] <XXCoder2> why not
[00:10:25] <cncformywife> http://i.imgur.com/EWuLtcI.jpg
[00:10:40] <XXCoder2> damn thats good rendering
[00:10:45] <XXCoder2> mine is crude lol
[00:11:16] <cncformywife> thnaks!
[00:11:49] <cncformywife> wherer is all the others?
[00:12:01] <cncformywife> thanks!*

[00:12:29] <XXCoder2> its bit out of date now
[00:12:36] <cncformywife> WTF?
[00:12:50] <XXCoder2> that and I might change design to be closer to http://hackaday.com/2014/07/11/400-diy-cnc-machine-is-surprisingly-simple/
[00:13:05] <Connor> cncformywife: Do yourself a favor.. don't use a Dremel..
[00:13:20] <XXCoder2> I use bosch trim router
[00:13:35] <XXCoder2> nice and powerful. it helps that it has bosch which is nice company
[00:13:46] <Connor> cncformywife: Also, I don't see any bearings on the screws...
[00:13:49] <cncformywife> i want to do small cuts..
[00:14:12] <Connor> cncformywife: Bosh Trim router is much better.. better runout.. longer lasting spindle.
[00:15:08] <cncformywife> i will start with the dremel.. and see how it works..
[00:15:21] <cncformywife> it's going to be my first cnc..
[00:15:24] <Connor> http://www.ivdc.com/cnc/cnc8.jpg
[00:15:27] <Connor> That was my first one.
[00:15:37] <Connor> http://www.ivdc.com/cnc/cnc1.jpg
[00:15:59] <jdh> it's Chai time
[00:17:06] <Connor> jdh: Got a $400.00 check from health insurance company for rebate.. splitting it with wife for our hobby accounts. :)
[00:17:06] <cncformywife> looks big!
[00:17:11] <jdh> I'm thinking of making a grid of blind T nuts in my spoilboard. Think that is worthwhile?
[00:17:27] <jdh> Connor: cool! My single nut screws were $199.
[00:17:28] <Connor> jdh Better than rails.
[00:17:50] <jdh> The table is aluminum T-slot
[00:17:56] <Connor> Oh.
[00:17:59] <Connor> Well..
[00:18:16] <jdh> but, I don't want to get a endmill that close to it.
[00:18:39] <andypugh> The hackaday design might be better with the Y slides under the gantry. Though they will defintely see more dust there, so it’s a trade-off.
[00:18:41] <Connor> cncformywife: 25" x 36" foot print. 18" x 12" x 4.5" work ennvelope
[00:19:19] <XXCoder2> heh mine will be pretty damn small
[00:19:28] <andypugh> Both the hackaday and rendered designs look like they could use more sway stiffness on the gantry.
[00:19:40] <XXCoder2> work area my guess 16"x16"x3"
[00:20:05] <XXCoder2> andypugh: you still havent provided a pic lol I can't picture it
[00:20:17] <cncformywife> the cnc in the render is 700X700 mm foot print, working - 500X500X100
[00:20:27] <andypugh> Give me a few minutes then
[00:20:38] <Connor> cncformywife: You might want to go with supported rails on the base.. and rotate them 90' so that channels appose each other..
[00:21:08] <Connor> those rods look awful small for the size of the gantry.
[00:21:40] <cncformywife> 12mm
[00:21:55] <XXCoder2> interesting, my cnc will have 20mm supported rails for z
[00:21:56] <Connor> yea. Mine are 12mm supported with 16mm ballscrews..
[00:21:56] <XXCoder2> err
[00:21:58] <XXCoder2> x
[00:22:14] <Connor> I would go up to the next size.. 12mm is kinda small for that span.
[00:22:35] <cncformywife> but it is only a dremell...
[00:22:53] <Tom_itx> don't use a dremel for a spindle
[00:22:56] <Connor> That's fine.. it's the weight of the entire gantry..
[00:22:57] -!- bertrik has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:23:01] <XXCoder2> yeah
[00:23:07] <XXCoder2> well
[00:23:17] <XXCoder2> cncformywife: make rigid gantry and moving bed?
[00:23:39] <Connor> that's allot of wood. would be fine for a 3d printer if using lighter material.. but 12mm non supported is a bit on the light side for a cnc
[00:24:22] <cncformywife> i have here 10mm bar..
[00:24:30] <cncformywife> i cant bend it..
[00:24:40] <Tom_itx> sure you can
[00:24:54] <cncformywife> how?
[00:25:08] <Tom_itx> put a dial on the center of it supported on each end
[00:25:09] <Connor> and again, the screws needs some sort of bearing support.. you can't just use the coupler as a support like that.. not sure if you just didn't render it or not..
[00:25:10] <Tom_itx> and push
[00:25:28] <Tom_itx> you will measure deflection
[00:26:26] <Connor> cncformywife: Just my opinion.. for what it's worth..
[00:26:40] <Tom_itx> 2c ?
[00:27:04] <Connor> Tom_itx: Yea.. 2centers is about right..
[00:28:55] <cncformywife> to go to support rails is X2 כסף
[00:29:07] <cncformywife> to go to support rails is X2 money**
[00:29:42] <cncformywife> Connor: ^
[00:30:52] <Tom_itx> it's just money
[00:31:11] <Tom_itx> think of the big picture
[00:31:19] <Tom_itx> when it's all done and nice and rigid
[00:33:12] <cncformywife> the big picture is FOOD vs CNC ...
[00:33:22] <cncformywife> sorry i need also food..
[00:33:44] <XXCoder2> make food with cnc
[00:33:49] <andypugh> XXCoder2: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/nj1-xDnWcEBZy89Ym2hrPj6DPCNJV8hY0JQn7i_rlrM?feat=directlink
[00:33:53] <XXCoder2> nasa made food printer
[00:34:05] <XXCoder2> ahh
[00:34:32] <andypugh> I will send you an invoice at my normal rate..
[00:34:49] <XXCoder2> -$20 a second? accepted!
[00:35:28] <andypugh> But, you see my point>
[00:35:30] <andypugh> ?
[00:35:34] <XXCoder2> indeed
[00:35:46] <XXCoder2> prevents sway along y axis
[00:36:12] <XXCoder2> you saw my machine engine, it has two sides per sie
[00:36:39] <XXCoder2> its not shown but it would have connections between those 2 wood sides to make it can't move in respect to each other
[00:37:55] <andypugh> I have a different problem. I have a lot of siffness (500kg of iron) bit only 1000rpm spindle speed.
[00:38:13] <XXCoder2> thats good for steel
[00:38:36] <andypugh> The machine is great with a 20mm cutter in steel or iron. But those are expensive cutters.
[00:38:54] <XXCoder2> cant swap spidle for better rpm?

[00:42:20] <cncformywife> andypugh: what is the pic?
[00:45:34] <andypugh> cncformywife: It’s a wooden gantry design
[00:46:21] <cncformywife> gantry for what?
[00:46:31] <andypugh> XXCoder2: Not really: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GwJasYJB1sDpauT92DfiINMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[00:46:38] <anarchos2> andypugh, have any pics of your machine?
[00:46:40] <XXCoder2> general idea on how to make certain parts rigid cncformywife
[00:46:53] -!- tawr [tawr!~tawr@162.253.131.170] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:47:02] <XXCoder2> hmm guess thats out
[00:47:24] <XXCoder2> 1k rpm isnt really fast enough for alum, and wood is right now unless ipm is insanely low
[00:47:41] <anarchos2> purrdy
[00:47:54] <andypugh> I could change the gearing (belt at the back, gears in the vertical head) but the bearings already get _very_ hot.
[00:48:40] <XXCoder2> well best bet is just new small machine for non-steel or iron needs
[00:48:43] <andypugh> In fact they got so hot that I might take it apart and look for prpoblems.
[00:50:32] <anarchos2> Z axis on the knee or quill?
[00:50:39] <andypugh> I picked this up today. Possibly the most over-packaged order ever.
[00:50:41] <andypugh> https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/6-exJqnUy2bngnw1XjzJWj6DPCNJV8hY0JQn7i_rlrM?feat=directlink

[00:50:52] <andypugh> Z is the knee.
[00:51:23] <andypugh> (the contents of the package are on top of the package)
[00:51:55] <fenugrec> Most bearing grease will be OK up to at least 70 C, which is goddamn hot to the touch...
[00:52:08] <anarchos2> i'd love it if i had to room for a knee mill
[00:52:08] <XXCoder2> tlking about packaging, my gauge come in the toughest air bubble package I have ever seen
[00:52:16] <anarchos2> how hard is it to CNC the head?
[00:52:24] <XXCoder2> its like a bag, and very rigid
[00:53:02] <andypugh> anarchos2: Can you re-state the question>
[00:53:45] <anarchos2> is it feasable to put a stepper/servo on the head rotation on a mill like that?
[00:53:55] <andypugh> fenugrec: I had to search very hard to find the NLGM3 grease that is specified for the bearings.
[00:54:43] <fenugrec> andypugh NLGI 3 ? what kind of bearing; tapered roller ?
[00:55:11] <andypugh> It would be hard to keep it all rigid enough. A very big crossed-roller might work
[00:55:24] <andypugh> fenugrec: Yes, taper rollers.
[00:55:42] <andypugh> But I think that the grease is mainly to keep the oil in…
[00:56:49] <fenugrec> andypugh: interesting... being thicker it might break down at lower temperatures but that is purely speculation. What's its rating ?
[00:57:04] <andypugh> The head is oil-filled, but the top bearing won’t see the oil, so gets grease. The bottom bearing has no oil seal, so the oil is kept in by the grease.
[00:57:23] <fenugrec> andypugh: http://www.reliableplant.com/Read/25315/Tips-troubleshooting-bearing-temperatures ; I had an interesting talk with an NSK guy last year but wasn't paying too much attention to temperature issues at the time.
[00:57:47] <andypugh> NLGI3 is apparently suggested for any vertical shaft application. But you try finding some.
[00:59:01] <Valen> grease shouldn't hold oil in, normally oil will disolve grease, unless its some kind of fancy pants grease
[00:59:25] <andypugh> I am not claimign that this is a great dsign :-)
[00:59:47] <fenugrec> Valen: grease is a "soap" + oil in suspension
[01:00:03] <andypugh> I actually added a standard oil seal to keep it all in.
[01:00:08] <fenugrec> andypugh: https://www.motionindustries.com/ list a few, but may not be suitable for bearings.
[01:01:13] <XXCoder2> lathium grease? heh'
[01:01:33] <andypugh> The BT30 spindle has holes in the drive flange that would let the oil out if I removed the grease. (though I don’t use them, so could plug them)
[01:02:51] <andypugh> I eventually found the grease at a bearing shop: http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p210139/SKF+LGMT3+400ml+Cartridge+General+Purpose+Industrial+and+Automotive+Grease/product_info.html
[01:06:41] <andypugh> The same site also has my spindle bearings; http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p40501/Major+Brand+358X/354B+Imperial+Taper+Roller+Bearing+Flanged+Cup+and+Cone+Set+1.7717x3.3465x0.8125+inch+Allow+2-3+Days/product_info.html
[01:06:59] <fenugrec> andypugh: yeah, definitely keep those greased. Not too much, either - my NSK book says 1/3 to 2/3 of the internal space (if you haven't something like this, definitely keep something like this http://www.jp.nsk.com/app01/en/ctrg/index.cgi?rm=pdfView&pno=e1102m on hand ! page A105
[01:07:17] <andypugh> Yeah, I have several :-)
[01:07:29] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Client Quit]
[01:08:37] <andypugh> Except my bearings were made in France, and the number is hand-engraved, with a serial number and the inspectors initials.
[01:08:50] <fenugrec> andypugh: Good, then I have little else to add p-)
[01:09:40] <mutley_> andypugh: the machine of mine you saw earlier, would you expect to use high or low microstep settings on such a machine?
[01:09:48] <andypugh> It’s hard to control the fill when you are pumping in to a nipple and there is a gearbox full of oil on top, thought.
[01:10:13] <andypugh> mutley_: It would depend on the step source
[01:10:27] <mutley_> DM442 drivers
[01:10:53] <andypugh> No, I meant parport of FPGA card or PRU
[01:11:10] <mutley_> oh its a standalone controller cnc usb
[01:11:21] <mutley_> well i say standalone, i mean its usb connected
[01:11:36] <fenugrec> andypugh: I can imagine. But I think it makes a huge difference in temperature rise between 100% saturated vs partly-filled
[01:13:15] <andypugh> fenugrec: As I have no way to empty the bearings, they basically run at whatever doesn’t get pumped out. I could dismantle the entire head, remove all lubricants, re-lube and _still_ not know how much was in there.
[01:13:51] <fenugrec> hehehe
[01:13:55] <fenugrec> how hot does it get ?
[01:14:16] <andypugh> I am well aware that there is a “right” amount of grease, but any bearing with a grease nipple that is 40 years old is an unknown.
[01:14:50] <andypugh> I ought to measure it. Hot enough to know it is behind you.
[01:17:19] <andypugh> Talking of spindles, I was idly watching this. Someone got a bargain: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251567194197
[01:19:49] <andypugh> Anyway, time to sleep. Things to do tomorrow.

[03:24:12] <tawr> aww anarchos2
[03:25:31] <anarchos2> i just picked up a random power supply from some unknown device that has both 5v/2a and 12v/2a output for $1 at a thirft store (the delayed delivery is power supplies :P)
[03:25:56] <anarchos2> i just need to figure out the pinout....would probably be a lot easier if I had a multimetre :P
[03:26:14] <anarchos2> http://i.imgur.com/mN6jxKF.jpg
[03:27:07] <anarchos2> it doesn't make sense to my new to electronics brain that there's two 5V pins, two ground and one 12v pin
[03:27:56] <tawr> there's 5 pins, 2 are smaller than the rest
[03:28:12] <tawr> the lower 2 (smaller) ones probably turn the supply on and off, and it's 1x 5v 12v and gnd
[03:28:14] <tawr> on the larger pins
[03:28:25] <anarchos2> ah
[03:28:36] <tawr> you need a meter though
[03:28:57] <tawr> they can be had for under 20 bucks brand new - they are indispensible
[03:29:28] <anarchos2> all the pins look the same size, just the light in the pic makes some look bigger
[03:29:44] <anarchos2> yeah, i was thinking of ordering one. i kinda live in the middle of nowhere so to speak.
[03:30:03] <anarchos2> i can get stuff like that at the auto parts store but they'll charge $100+ for a $10 chinese meter

[03:35:33] <XXCoder2> wonder if theres something like aliexpress for car parts
[03:36:37] <anarchos2> i buy mine from primechoice auto parts. they're pretty good if you happen to be canadian
[03:36:50] <tawr> oh
[03:36:51] <anarchos2> all made in china and rebranded, but insanely low prices and free shipping
[03:37:09] <tawr> well what country are you at anarchos2, if you don't mind me asking?
[03:37:15] <anarchos2> canada
[03:37:17] <tawr> and sorry- those pins really looked far smaller
[03:37:21] <XXCoder2> not an canadian even though my dad side come from canada.
[03:37:22] <tawr> dude, get a 10 dollar princess auto meter

[03:37:52] <tawr> sears / craftsman has some 30 dollar meters, sparkfun/adafruit etc all have inexpensive meters and ship to canada as well, there are tons of canadian electronics companies
[03:38:31] <anarchos2> oh for sure
[03:38:46] <anarchos2> there's some on amazon for $20
[03:39:11] <tawr> really though - a meter is necessary :)
[03:39:27] <anarchos2> oh for sure, heh, i'm surprised i got this far without :P
[03:40:42] <tawr> :P
[03:40:57] <tawr> i suppose if you have a few leds and resistors you can figure out the pinout
[03:41:05] <tawr> pretty easily
[03:41:31] <anarchos2> true
[03:41:59] <anarchos2> i did use an old trailer wiring harness with LED indicators as a ghetto meter one time :P
[03:42:40] <tawr> ha - necessity is the mother of invention :)
[03:42:54] <anarchos2> i wonder if theyd light up under 5v, or just 12v only
[03:43:21] <tawr> my meter has a very special story - I had just turned 21, was working at medical equip. company, finished college as an EE and went to vegas

[03:43:51] <tawr> my first day there I hit a jackpot for around 900 bucks. I got my money, walked out of the casino, got a cab down to Fry's, and bought my Fluke 189 logging meter (for 600 iirc)
[03:44:19] <anarchos2> heh, cool
[03:44:34] <tawr> it's been with me through some interesting projects, is beat to shit, and still looks brand new (if you ignore the stains)

[03:44:54] <anarchos2> i went to vegas one time, got hammered and played black jack until 6am, ended up making waking up with $20 more than when I started
[03:45:17] <tawr> hahaha - better than the alternative
[03:45:24] <anarchos2> i remember tipping the dealers and waitresses a lot, so i guess i probably made a bit more than $20 but wasted it all :P
[03:45:28] <tawr> when i go to vegas, I go all out. play big win big
[03:45:45] <XXCoder2> more likely lose big
[03:45:50] <tawr> no actually
[03:46:03] <tawr> there has not been a single trip to vegas I did not 'pay' for the entire trip my first day there.
[03:46:17] <tawr> as in my winnings day 1 covered the entire trip + lodging + food.
[03:46:27] <XXCoder2> not bad
[03:46:39] <XXCoder2> not much of a gambler myself
[03:46:51] <tawr> gotta walk around and 'feel' machines. if you get emotionally invested on a single unit - you're going to lose your money
[03:47:05] <tawr> put 5 into a machine here - do max bet once or twice, move on
[03:47:14] <tawr> and always use the player tracking card ;P

[03:50:23] <XXCoder2> its good
[03:50:24] <tawr> a meter is your eyes and ears into the world of electronics. the better the tool the better your 'vision'
[03:50:44] <XXCoder2> normal price is 20 usd, its black friday thats the reason i got it so cheap
[03:50:49] <tawr> i think my meter goes down to 1uA current measurements
[03:51:09] <anarchos2> i was concidering this, it seems to have really good reviews

[03:59:07] <anarchos2> maybe this is a better idea, as im sure i can borrow a meter for a few days

[07:38:03] <archivist> you would be better off with a ball screw for reliability
[07:39:30] <archivist> cutting screws is easy enough on a screw cutting lathe or mill with a 4th axis, but does need support during the cutting if long
[07:41:23] <archivist> this is how I made a silly proportion thin coarse screw for a clock http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=merlin+worm
[07:42:42] <archivist> that is 4mm diameter

[07:50:18] <Flipp_> archivist: I had to cut a screw early today by hand with a hacksaw D:
[07:50:26] <Flipp_> archivist: the perils of living in an apartment :(
[07:50:56] <archivist> I built that from scrap and a few new bits and some machined
[07:51:49] <archivist> buy ready made is no access to machines, join a hackspace
[07:52:09] <Flipp_> archivist: sadly there aren't many well equipped in the seattle area :/
[07:52:48] <archivist> or a class for machinists or a model engineering club
[07:52:50] <Flipp_> but yeah. I end up paying a bit more, but I usually get stuff cut/formed before I buy
[07:53:54] <archivist> you can just carry on using the same screw and accept the slowness, or gear up (belt or gears) from the stepper to screw
[07:54:27] <archivist> be aware that leadscrews whip at speed if long and thin

[09:32:09] <mutley_> ok so just want to say thanks to a cpl guys from yesterday for their help and patience with my questions, archivist and a cpl others gave me the info i needed to get this running right http://imgur.com/RDxwSr5
[09:32:24] <mutley_> http://imgur.com/TdkCDle
[09:33:08] <mutley_> http://imgur.com/ZMe1E9z these now drop into the gearbox where they replace worn gears, they drop on erfectly and run smooth as silk
[09:33:42] <mutley_> that came of the machine at about 3am, thank heavens the neighbour has gone away for the weekend.....it turned out all my issues were down to a gantry that wasnt straight
[09:34:51] <archivist> I know the spastic fur problem http://gears.archivist.info/gears/fan_gears.html
[09:35:19] <archivist> nice result though
[09:36:11] <kfoltman> mutley_: milled or printed?
[09:36:25] <archivist> milled
[09:36:37] <mutley_> ha sastic fur, year its a bit furry, they clean up well though, just a little tedious scraping of the flash once the main part of that fur is pulled away but a litle patience and they soon come u nice
[09:36:52] <mutley_> this is the thing, when selling people just think these are "bits of plastic"
[09:37:15] <mutley_> kfoltman: milled, i have done some printed ones too which came up nice but sadly wouldnt be functional
[09:37:17] <archivist> I do the fur removal with a scalpel and a microscope
[09:37:59] <mutley_> yea i pull it off with needle nose pliers, then its a sharp blade under a magnifying lamp
[09:38:27] <mutley_> only about 10 minutes to clean each one if that once you site down and get a rythm going
[09:39:10] <kfoltman> archivist: great idea!
[09:40:04] <archivist> these were done with a gear milling cutter http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2014/2014_01_19_Cyprus_gears/IMG_1735.JPG
[09:40:28] <archivist> parting off was not so good
[09:40:46] <kfoltman> archivist: as in, on a lathe or...?
[09:40:51] <kfoltman> with a hob
[09:41:26] <mutley_> so today im going to make one of those centrometers, brass bar, steel ground rod and some grub screws to have a larger radius now that i have seen the importance relevance and fact that i need to do that test 2 we were talking about yesterday
[09:41:33] <kfoltman> archivist: the stuff on the left and the right of each gear - is that just unfortunate lighting, or is there an excess of material in there?
[09:41:36] <archivist> no a milling cutter on the 5 axis mill
[09:41:59] <mutley_> archivist: thy look familiar? automotive aplication?
[09:42:20] <archivist> no a toy dancing frog band
[09:42:51] <mutley_> see now if i was in a different place id swear for sure that was a piss take answer lol

[10:42:13] <shanker_> but I only have l298ns
[10:42:15] <archivist> we dont support mach or grbl in here
[10:42:19] <ssi> kfoltman: I dunno I'm babbling back at jymmmmmmmmmm
[10:42:25] <shanker_> I know
[10:42:28] <ssi> it's too early in the morning for coherency
[10:42:29] <shanker_> you use linuxcnc
[10:42:30] <kfoltman> ssi: ok, I won't interrupt you then ;)
[10:42:33] <archivist> linuxcnc does more that either
[10:42:39] <archivist> than
[10:42:58] <kfoltman> shanker_: I use grbl, hoping to upgrade to linuxcnc soon
[10:43:00] <ssi> also a lot of the folks here using linuxcnc tend to use much more robust (and expensive) hardware
[10:43:22] <shanker_> kfoltman are you using the shield
[10:43:34] <Jymmm> ssi: My only concern using the 1x1 is twisting/flexing/bowing
[10:43:46] <kfoltman> shanker_: I have my own breakout board made from my own protoboard with arduino nano plugged into it
[10:43:51] <ssi> Jymmm: it'll be fine... it's a frickin laser, not a router
[10:43:59] <ssi> and once it's all boxed up, it's rock solid
[10:44:14] <kfoltman> shanker_: you could use a protoshield or whatever, no rocket science there
[10:44:22] <shanker_> kfoltman what do you think about using a dual-h bridge to drive the moters
[10:44:29] <kfoltman> shanker_: just remember to use 0.9f version of grbl, the previous ones had some rather nasty bugs
[10:44:38] <kfoltman> shanker_: forget it :)
[10:44:45] <archivist> get good robust drivers
[10:44:46] <shanker_> yeah I was reading about that
[10:44:56] <shanker_> ok forgotten
[10:45:04] <kfoltman> shanker_: the 6560 aren't really that bad if you're operating them well within their safety limits
[10:45:19] <kfoltman> shanker_: or at least that's my experience so far, YMMV
[10:45:38] <kfoltman> shanker_: I'm using 2 of those board + one makeblock microstep driver, all from a 24V 5A power supply
[10:45:49] <kfoltman> they still work
[10:45:54] <shanker_> yeah that is nice
[10:46:09] <kfoltman> but my current limit is <=2A
[10:46:31] <shanker_> so if you had to go and do it from scrach after your board just blew up what would you go with. 3axis nema 23
[10:46:56] <kfoltman> shanker_: I don't know, I'd probably get a monthly supply of 6560s ;)
[10:47:10] <shanker_> right and just replace
[10:47:23] <kfoltman> shanker_: the makeblock driver doesn't seem that bad either, and it's in a proper metal case
[10:47:34] <kfoltman> depends on how much power you need really
[10:47:48] <kfoltman> geckodrives are supposed to be much better than any of those
[10:47:49] <shanker_> just cncing mdf
[10:48:06] <kfoltman> but they also cost about 5x price of the 6560s
[10:48:10] * archivist gets leadshine drivers and does not need constant replacement
[10:48:24] <kfoltman> archivist: I *touch wood* haven't had to replace any of my 6560s yet
[10:48:35] <kfoltman> I think the biggest problem with them is inflated specs
[10:48:37] <shanker_> lol
[10:49:12] <kfoltman> archivist: on the other hand, I fried several smaller drivers (stepsticks)
[10:49:48] <shanker_> o yeah on my 3d printer I have killed like 10
[10:49:55] <shanker_> stepsticks suck
[10:49:58] <kfoltman> shanker_: amen
[10:50:26] <kfoltman> shanker_: well, for learning etc. 6560s are probably adequate, especially if you have one or two spares
[10:50:38] <shanker_> so the 6560 is what blew up on my board
[10:50:49] <kfoltman> I don't know your board
[10:50:58] <kfoltman> it might have been anything
[10:50:59] <shanker_> I know you dont
[10:51:03] <shanker_> right
[10:51:13] <kfoltman> anyway, for any commercial use etc. you're better off following archivist's advice, he knows what he's doing
[10:51:27] * archivist admits nothing
[10:51:33] <shanker_> ha
[10:51:58] <shanker_> Shoot I am still learning. I have tried to build a cnc 3 times
[10:52:07] <kfoltman> for home use, if you can afford the occasional 'machine breaks and ruins the workpiece' kind of events, it might be an overkill
[10:52:07] <shanker_> and every time I fail
[10:52:28] <kfoltman> shanker_: mine is generally working, but has some teething problems
[10:52:29] <shanker_> But I am having fun at it
[10:52:38] <kfoltman> and ruins 2 out of 3 jobs I give it
[10:52:42] <archivist> I only built one once but I modify as I go along
[10:52:45] -!- micges-dev [micges-dev!~x@eir233.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has parted #linuxcnc
[10:53:00] <kfoltman> but at least I know what I have to fix, which is good :)
[10:53:34] <shanker_> yeah the first one I built was out of plastic and metal tubes and build my own liner motaion
[10:53:54] <shanker_> it fell aprt
[10:54:02] <kfoltman> hah yeah, not surprising
[10:54:07] <shanker_> this one I am working on is out of 8020
[10:54:10] <kfoltman> it would be OK for PCB exposer or something like that
[10:54:19] <shanker_> yeah
[10:54:25] <kfoltman> I used plywood and commercial linear motion components
[10:54:38] <kfoltman> linear rails, ballscrews
[10:55:04] <shanker_> I just dont know if. I am going to buy a new TB6560
[10:55:10] <shanker_> or find something else
[10:55:12] <kfoltman> the cost was rather enormous (>1000 euro for everything) but at least I didn't have half of the typical problems people have with cheap parts
[10:55:46] <shanker_> like it smoking the house up and your wife getting mad at you
[10:55:49] <shanker_> =)
[10:55:54] <ssi> shanker_: take it as an opportunity to upgrade
[10:56:02] <shanker_> true
[10:56:06] <kfoltman> shanker_: you have an integrated board with multiple drivers?
[10:56:07] <shanker_> ssi I agree
[10:56:12] <shanker_> yes
[10:56:13] <ssi> get some dedicated drives and either a good breakout or even better, mesa interface
[10:56:16] <shanker_> 3 drivers
[10:56:34] <kfoltman> shanker_: I use single axis driver boards, so it's easier to replace if it fails
[10:56:41] <shanker_> I like the dedicated drivers will work
[10:56:45] <ssi> tell me about your motors, size/torque, and power supply
[10:57:12] <shanker_> ok nema 23's they have 24v 2amp I think
[10:57:34] <shanker_> 1/8th step
[10:57:34] <kfoltman> shanker_: what current per phase in the configuration you're using?
[10:57:41] -!- amiri_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[10:57:44] <kfoltman> shanker_: also, 4 phase? 8 phase? serial, parallel?
[10:57:50] <shanker_> 4 phase
[10:57:57] <shanker_> parallel
[10:58:03] <ssi> so for inexpensive drives, I use keling stuff... archivist mentioned leadshine, i think these are rebranded leadshine
[10:58:06] <ssi> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/kl-stepper-drivers/kl-4030-24-40vdc-3-0a-microstepping-driver
[10:58:10] <ssi> but something along those lines will probably work well for you
[10:58:17] <ssi> yeah that's a lot more money than the TB6560
[10:58:20] <ssi> but it's a lot more good too
[10:58:34] <kfoltman> ssi: those seem quite cheap, even comparing to the Chinese boards
[10:58:55] <ssi> kfoltman: that's $44 for a single axis drive
[10:59:01] <ssi> vs $55 for three axes plus breakout
[10:59:08] <kfoltman> $15 for tb6560 without a case, $44 for this in a proper box
[10:59:27] <kfoltman> geckos are like $100 per axis or even more
[10:59:34] <ssi> yeah geckos are too expensive
[10:59:49] <shanker_> still If i am going to spend about 300 in 8020 might as well do it right
[10:59:55] <ssi> the g203v is supposed to be a very good drive, but I don't know personally because I won't spend $130 for a single axis of drive :P
[11:00:05] <ssi> the keling/leadshine type drives are FINE
[11:00:08] <kfoltman> ssi: the "three axis plus breakout" seems like a bad idea overall
[11:00:15] <ssi> if you want to spend a little more, get the digital drives
[11:00:25] <ssi> kfoltman: oh I agree completely, I don't use anything like that anymore
[11:00:29] <ssi> my first one blew up real early
[11:00:44] <shanker_> http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-TB6560-3-5A-4-Axis-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Board-Controller-4-Engraving-Machine-/400637530827?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d47db92cb
[11:00:51] <shanker_> so that is the board I smoked
[11:00:58] <ssi> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/digital-stepper-motor-driver/digital-stepper-driver-kl-4042d-heat-sink-is-included
[11:01:03] <ssi> there's the digital version of that drive
[11:01:08] <ssi> $70 apiece isn't cheap
[11:01:11] <kfoltman> shanker_: well, yeah, avoid these, they're *too* cheap
[11:01:21] <ssi> but I just ordered three of those in a slightly higher voltage ($90 each) for my laser table
[11:01:24] <shanker_> right
[11:01:39] <shanker_> ooo lazer table
[11:01:46] <shanker_> ssi I bet that is fun
[11:01:49] <ssi> and when you're ready to move to linuxcnc, get yourself a mesa 7i76 kit and you'll be in business
[11:02:00] <kfoltman> ssi: 'digital' drives? how are they doing microstep *without* digital/PWM?
[11:02:03] <ssi> shanker_: I hope so; I'm still in the building phase now... laser tube and optics are still in the mail :)
[11:02:16] <kfoltman> optics... scary stuff
[11:02:17] <kfoltman> :(
[11:02:21] <shanker_> what kind of tube did you get ?
[11:02:30] <ssi> kfoltman: heh
[11:02:35] <shanker_> or gas i mean
[11:02:41] <ssi> shanker_: bottom of the barrel cheap chinese 40W co2
[11:02:52] <shanker_> they dont look that bad
[11:02:58] <ssi> which'll get replaced with something a little better once everything's working well
[11:03:17] <shanker_> ssi have you seen the one on buildyourcnc.com
[11:03:50] <ssi> yea
[11:04:05] <shanker_> https://www.buildyourcnc.com/blackToothLaserCutterAndEngraver.aspx
[11:04:10] <shanker_> that one is sick
[11:04:15] <ssi> too much MDF for my taste :)
[11:04:28] <shanker_> right if it goes up in flames
[11:04:41] <ssi> here's the beginning of my table
[11:04:41] <ssi> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsatjbjIIAEotj7.jpg:large
[11:04:54] <ssi> also I settled on a 2x4' work area, and it's turning out HUGE heheh
[11:05:02] <ssi> it's like 34x68" outside
[11:05:18] <shanker_> that is nice

[11:06:03] <shanker_> yeah that is going to be huge
[11:06:07] <SpeedEvil> ssi: I'm planning a 1.2*2.4*0.3m or so bed router.
[11:06:20] <ssi> SpeedEvil: nice
[11:06:30] <ssi> my plasma table is 48x48" work area, and it's pretty flippin huge too
[11:06:32] <SpeedEvil> ssi: It's easy enough to start 'Ok, now, a 60cm beam is quite rigid enough...
[11:06:53] <SpeedEvil> ssi: but then it all adds up to a pretty huge envelope
[11:06:56] <ssi> yep
[11:07:16] <ssi> plasma table is made out of 2x4" x 3/16" wall rectangle steel tube welded together
[11:07:22] <ssi> and it weighs a couple hundred pounds empty
[11:08:23] <jthornton> my plasma is 36 x 52 but I can slide a 4' x 8' sheet in and cut part at a time
[11:09:00] <jthornton> my wife looked in the plasma cam ad that I get every once and a while and wants the butterfly chair
[11:09:14] <shanker_> what do you all think about http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-3-Axis-stepper-Driver-3-5A-Breakout-interface-board-for-Router-system-kit-/281221235650?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item417a1783c2\
[11:09:51] <ssi> jthornton: I'm still having issues with the Z axis trying to make offset removal moves hugely fast and stalling
[11:09:51] <Jymmm> jthornton: Happy Wife = Happy Life, so GIT ER DONE!!!
[11:10:22] <ssi> shanker_: suspiciously cheap, but a step in the right direction ;)
[11:10:28] <jthornton> ssi, what correction velocity are you using?
[11:10:52] <shanker_> ssi i know cheap but it is still a hobbie
[11:10:54] <ssi> 0.00005
[11:11:11] <shanker_> once i get it up and running a can make a few dollars off of it
[11:11:16] <shanker_> then I will upgrade
[11:11:28] <jthornton> I'm using 0.00002
[11:11:47] <jthornton> more than that and I saw voltage fluctuations
[11:12:10] <ssi> the other thing that's odd...
[11:12:21] <ssi> I get huge voltage fluctuations on small holes, which probably isn't surprising
[11:12:26] <ssi> on long cuts it's stable
[11:12:34] <ssi> but it looks like the torch climbs away from the work and the arc gets pretty long
[11:12:53] <jthornton> how small of a hole is small?
[11:13:00] <ssi> I'm wondering if either my voltage sensing correction isn't right, or if my initial cut height isn't right
[11:13:04] <ssi> 1/4"
[11:13:26] <ssi> and that's at 200ipm or more
[11:13:30] <jthornton> I usually don't cut that small of a hole
[11:13:31] <ssi> so it probably doesn't even have time to stabilize
[11:13:36] <ssi> yeah they don't do great hehe
[11:14:53] <shanker_> I would say it is all about the right documentation too
[11:15:22] <shanker_> the board I got from china didnt have any
[11:15:37] <shanker_> it came with a cd loaded with like 3000 modles on it
[11:15:48] <shanker_> figures why i blew it up

[16:15:18] <IchGuckLive> Nebukadneza: heho
[16:16:05] <Nebukadneza> mhhh, say -- do i understand right that linuxcnc cannot be used to send commands to those grbl-compatible controller devices..?
[16:16:43] <IchGuckLive> most of this got als oa busmode
[16:17:18] <archivist> Nebukadneza, yes that is right
[16:17:38] <IchGuckLive> Nebukadneza: there is only one post from you i the logs so we need some more infos to help you on your problem
[16:17:55] <archivist> Nebukadneza, linuxcnc is the controller
[16:17:58] -!- anarchos has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[16:18:35] <IchGuckLive> are you retrofitting a device or building a new one
[16:19:20] <Nebukadneza> i'm getting a 4-axis styrofoam hotwire CNC cutter from a friend soon, and it's fitted with a smoothie-something controller thingy
[16:19:32] <SpeedEvil> Nebukadneza: fun
[16:19:48] <IchGuckLive> oh thats my big goal i got 10 foam cutters
[16:19:54] <archivist> that is a mach cough 3 toy
[16:20:12] <XXCoder2> 10 of em wow
[16:20:19] <Nebukadneza> as documentation sounds limited on that device, and its surrounding "ecosystem", so i'd have liked it//hoped for if linuxcnc would somehow supported it :D
[16:20:24] <Nebukadneza> archivist: mach *cough* 3?
[16:20:35] <IchGuckLive> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMp6QVtOoZw
[16:20:40] <IchGuckLive> here is one
[16:21:15] <XXCoder2> unwatchable videpo
[16:21:16] <archivist> mach3 is less good at realtime control so they hand off to an external smoothy box
[16:21:23] <IchGuckLive> the 5 axis XYUVB is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT_ndXDZ0DU
[16:21:25] <XXCoder2> not only handheld, but constant motion
[16:21:45] <IchGuckLive> a casel in one shot
[16:21:54] <Nebukadneza> archivist: i thought that smoothieboard thingy wanted "grbl"?
[16:22:14] <SpeedEvil> http://www.mauve.plus.com/Chinese-Lantern.jpg - my polystyrene cut mould lantern
[16:22:14] <archivist> no it is a similar concept to grbl
[16:22:21] <SpeedEvil> It's a fun thing to do
[16:22:32] <IchGuckLive> i also made a post for foam on heekscad to get the g-code for mashines in one shot out of dxf no Z involved
[16:22:37] <SpeedEvil> (the base only)
[16:22:54] <Nebukadneza> so in any case, these things are made so i send them my gcode in some way or other, and they do the realtime magic for me, right?
[16:23:09] <Nebukadneza> linuxcnc on the other hand, does the realtime magic on the linux box?
[16:23:25] <archivist> you just about got it there :)
[16:24:14] <archivist> except the smoothy will expect something from mach3
[16:24:30] <Nebukadneza> ok
[16:24:34] <os1r1s> Nebukadneza: If you are talking about a smoothieboard, that is different than a smoothstepper
[16:24:47] <Nebukadneza> yes, the "smoothieboard"
[16:24:58] <os1r1s> Nebukadneza: I believe emc2 will work with smoothieboard
[16:25:11] <Nebukadneza> oh!
[16:25:23] <os1r1s> There is some sort of passthrough people have used to control repraps
[16:25:33] <IchGuckLive> smothieboard uses the ethernet connector
[16:25:53] <os1r1s> That is different than a smoothstepper which is windows/mach3 specific
[16:25:54] <Nebukadneza> IchGuckLive: yes, or serial over usb
[16:26:08] <Nebukadneza> os1r1s: sorry, didn't know there were so "closely-named" producst
[16:26:11] <Nebukadneza> *products
[16:26:33] <os1r1s> No worries. Happy to help someone out
[16:28:06] <archivist> os1r1s, are you sure seems it is a g code driven device
[16:28:17] <Nebukadneza> mh
[16:28:29] <archivist> and linuxcnc does not output g code to another device
[16:28:31] <Nebukadneza> do you have a link to some documentation concerning that pass through mode? i seem too blind to find it atm
[16:28:33] <os1r1s> archivist: It is, but people have used repraps with emc2.
[16:28:59] <archivist> repraps and emc/linuxcnc is not smoothieboard
[16:29:17] <archivist> are you making the right connection
[16:29:23] <os1r1s> Nebukadneza: http://reprap.org/wiki/EMCRepRap
[16:29:53] <os1r1s> Nebukadneza: If you join #smoothieware, there will be people familiar with that controller
[16:30:05] <Nebukadneza> mh, right too
[16:30:06] <Nebukadneza> thanks!
[16:30:33] <os1r1s> archivist: Yes, I am. I'm very familiar with both smoothieboard and smoothsteppers
[16:31:06] <os1r1s> I don't know emc2 well at all though, but I'm aware that people have done that
[16:31:13] <archivist> but not soothieboard to linuxcnc by the look of it

[17:52:18] <CaptHindsight> do you have one to copy? or just the pictures?
[17:52:19] <archivist> that tells you where I am, 5 miles from it
[17:52:39] <marmite_> i do have a broken one
[17:53:27] <CaptHindsight> sounds like you're pretty close to having a template
[17:54:10] <marmite_> scaning in then cadding ontop of the image
[17:55:50] <CaptHindsight> depending on the scanner you might not even have to do any CAD, there are image to G-code utils as well
[17:56:30] <marmite_> yeah, i have tested out scan 2 cad with kinda bad results
[17:56:45] <CaptHindsight> you need good scan data
[17:56:56] <archivist> I tend to measure
[17:57:39] <marmite_> measure would be the best, but really hard due to the form och the plate for me :D

[19:06:57] <cncformywife> what i can do with dremel based cnc?
[19:07:09] <XXCoder2> make parts for better cnc
[19:07:15] <XXCoder2> artwork, etching
[19:07:23] <Loetmichel> cncformywife: not muc
[19:07:24] <Loetmichel> h
[19:07:31] <Loetmichel> ise a proxxon IB/e at least
[19:07:48] <Loetmichel> much better spindle bearings than dremel
[19:07:53] <archivist> dremel has loose bearing mountings
[19:08:04] <XXCoder2> honestly bosch trim router is only like 30 bucks more than dermel and much better
[19:08:06] <cncformywife> what is "proxxon IB"
[19:08:21] <archivist> other junk
[19:08:21] <cncformywife> i have a dremel 4000
[19:08:27] <Loetmichel> XXCoder2: the router is roughly 10 times the weight
[19:08:38] <Loetmichel> and roughly 3 times the size of a dremel/proxxon
[19:08:39] <XXCoder2> youre talking about full size router
[19:08:59] <Loetmichel> cncformywife: the one on this machine:
[19:09:19] <Loetmichel> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYgyqjHCBLg
[19:09:22] <cncformywife> i cut bolts with the dermel.
[19:09:40] <Loetmichel> the dremel has bad bearings. its no good for side forces on the shaft
[19:10:26] <Loetmichel> and its called proxxon IB/e
[19:10:42] <Loetmichel> the one from proxxon wiht the aluminium head
[19:10:50] <cncformywife> but it's not even screch the surface ...

[19:11:35] <cncformywife> what about stainless?
[19:11:35] <Loetmichel> cncformywife: the video was a demo for the movement speed of the machine, not for the proxxon-
[19:11:42] <Loetmichel> it just happens to be on this machine
[19:12:15] <Loetmichel> milling steel with a dremel/proxxon isnt best
[19:12:26] <Loetmichel> sounds BAD and is not really precise
[19:12:40] <cncformywife> and how it's move soooo fast?
[19:12:52] <Loetmichel> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGNbgkg9O2Y
[19:13:16] <Loetmichel> cncformywife: because that likke beast has no leadscrews but uses a steel cable drive

[19:14:22] <cncformywife> work 90 deg? on the side?
[19:15:10] <kfoltman> cncformywife: I use proxxon (newer model, ibs/e)
[19:15:23] <kfoltman> cncformywife: it's not ideal, but far better than dremel (which I also have)
[19:15:29] <XXCoder2> so dirty. lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNLjMg0Nitk
[19:16:01] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: what material was cut in that video?

[19:16:18] <Loetmichel> 1mm
[19:16:18] <cncformywife> XXCoder2: i'm soo like this style of machine. but they so expensive :(
[19:16:24] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: 10 passes?
[19:16:28] <Loetmichel> right
[19:16:33] <XXCoder2> cnc yeah
[19:16:49] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: would it cut 2mm in 20 passes? or is it non-linear?

[19:19:55] <cncformywife> i see the G0704
[19:19:55] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=10874
[19:19:59] <XXCoder2> extremely strong 8020 based design
[19:20:20] <Loetmichel> its an double usb port that can folded in, for a pc that has a fron door
[19:20:29] <Loetmichel> so you dont break the thumbdrives
[19:20:29] <XXCoder2> not bad
[19:21:16] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: anyway, I'm intrigued by the proof of a proxxon milling steel (even at 0.1mm passes) with decent results :) my table rebuild is already underway, to make it less saggy
[19:21:39] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: did you have to replace all the bearings afterwards? ;-)
[19:21:41] -!- Tecan has quit [Quit: Live Long And Phosphor!]
[19:21:43] <Loetmichel> kfoltman: you did hear the screeching, tough?
[19:22:00] <Loetmichel> i dont think that bearing will survive very long... ;-)
[19:22:09] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: yeah, terrible
[19:22:27] <kfoltman> OMG
[19:22:30] <kfoltman> 0:30
[19:22:33] <Loetmichel> i used that proxxon beacuse the mill wasnt meant to do horiziontal
[19:22:46] <Loetmichel> and the chinese HF spindle is to thick
[19:22:51] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: the 800W water-cooled spindle, is that more capable?
[19:22:58] <Loetmichel> a LOT more
[19:23:05] <Loetmichel> but it doesent fit under the beam
[19:23:12] <Loetmichel> so i "tricked" a bit
[19:23:23] <cncformywife> http://i.imgur.com/1BVqmf0.jpg
[19:23:26] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14483
[19:23:37] <cncformywife> what do you think on my design?^^
[19:23:37] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14486
[19:23:42] <Loetmichel> you see the difference?
[19:24:11] <archivist> cncformywife, I dont like those bar supports
[19:24:11] <XXCoder2> interesting
[19:24:13] <Loetmichel> i had to mill some plugs in the side of that boxes
[19:24:18] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: horizontal vs vertical, what else?
[19:24:22] <XXCoder2> why would you need that alternate mode?
[19:24:36] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: and yes, the Chinese one wouldn't fit
[19:24:42] <Loetmichel> normal vertical is the big 800W spindle, horizontal the proxxon
[19:24:52] <archivist> you need fully supported bars like Loetmichel has
[19:24:53] <kfoltman> not enough clearance for the 80mm+ spindle
[19:25:00] <Loetmichel> right
[19:25:13] <kfoltman> archivist: I have fully supported rails on every axis
[19:25:15] <cncformywife> what is the problem?
[19:25:23] <Loetmichel> luckily it was just a 50 pcs run ;-)
[19:25:26] <archivist> bending
[19:25:27] <cncformywife> archivist: ^
[19:25:37] <kfoltman> archivist: (if that's what you're referring to)
[19:25:48] <kfoltman> archivist: only 12mm though
[19:26:01] <cncformywife> it is 12mm
[19:26:36] <archivist> cncformywife, that would be a spring and you will get a lot of vibration
[19:26:45] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: I would have a lot of uses for this sort of horizontal arrangement - same as you, i.e. holes for sockets in boxes
[19:27:07] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: or maybe even put it parallel to the ground
[19:27:22] <kfoltman> horizontal milling but in different axis, if possible
[19:27:28] <kfoltman> along the Y
[19:27:54] <kfoltman> might be simply a second set of holes in the Z axis
[19:28:12] <cncformywife> i have 3 stepper motors.. so i think to make a cnc from them.. in the cheapest way.. :)
[19:28:16] <Loetmichel> kfoltman: normally i make the holes PRIOR to bending the boxes
[19:28:33] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: hard to do that if I buy ready-made ABS boxes (-:
[19:28:46] <XXCoder2> cncformywife: http://hackaday.com/2014/07/11/400-diy-cnc-machine-is-surprisingly-simple/
[19:28:49] <kfoltman> if manufacturing from scratch, sure, that's better
[19:28:56] <Loetmichel> i just used a 50 run of old frames and converted them to a new design
[19:29:55] <kfoltman> makes a lot of sense
[19:30:11] <XXCoder2> kfoltman: makes sense
[19:30:33] <cncformywife> XXCoder2: my morors will be good for that?
[19:30:44] <XXCoder2> NEMA 23 right?

[19:31:14] <kfoltman> cncformywife: decent NEMA23 with good torque will be fine at that job
[19:31:27] <cncformywife> 80Ncm
[19:31:32] <kfoltman> I have many things to complain about, but not the motors
[19:31:41] <kfoltman> cncformywife: try 3Nm
[19:31:42] <kfoltman> :P
[19:31:52] <kfoltman> although 0.8Nm should still get you somewhere
[19:32:10] <cncformywife> i get tham free..
[19:32:24] <kfoltman> sounds good if you can upgrade them later
[19:32:26] <cncformywife> and i have 3 5A drivers..
[19:32:31] <cncformywife> all free.
[19:32:36] <kfoltman> what shaft, 8mm? 1/4"?
[19:32:48] <XXCoder2> my nema23 motors is 11Nm, but cannot picture what it means.
[19:32:56] <kfoltman> XXCoder2: 11???
[19:32:59] <kfoltman> sounds like a lot
[19:33:02] <cncformywife> i think to work with 5/16
[19:33:05] <cncformywife> 18 TPI
[19:33:19] <XXCoder2> lets see if I did conversion correctly but probably not
[19:33:56] <kfoltman> XXCoder2: all the oz*in, kg*m, N*m and various combinations are really annoying
[19:34:01] <kfoltman> makes it really hard to compare the motors
[19:34:01] <XXCoder2> yepp lol 1.1Nm
[19:34:35] <XXCoder2> divided by 10 not 100, olvious mistake when Cent means 100
[19:34:46] <kfoltman> XXCoder2: I'm probably not getting 3Nm out of my motors because of suboptimal power supply and cheap drivers, but still - last time I checked, I got 2000mm/min reliably
[19:35:03] <XXCoder2> 1.1Nm is fine?
[19:35:04] <cncformywife> any help?
[19:35:04] <kfoltman> no stalling/missed steps

[19:35:16] <kfoltman> cncformywife: 0.8Nm should be fine
[19:35:46] <kfoltman> cncformywife: just make sure that your couplers match your motors
[19:35:48] <cncformywife> fine for what type of machine?
[19:35:58] <kfoltman> cncformywife: a desktop, home one
[19:36:00] <XXCoder2> like the junk machine I linked ago a sec
[19:36:02] <kfoltman> "desktop"
[19:36:18] <kfoltman> mine would take up a whole desk :P
[19:36:28] <XXCoder2> well its desk sized
[19:36:34] <cncformywife> for my deremel?
[19:36:35] <XXCoder2> lol
[19:36:51] <XXCoder2> my plan orginially was to use dermel
[19:36:56] <kfoltman> cncformywife: forget dremel, get a proxxon ib/e or ibs/e or some serious router
[19:36:57] <XXCoder2> but realized how shitty it is
[19:37:03] <XXCoder2> so trim router it is lol
[19:37:18] <XXCoder2> mine has rpm range 8k to 16k so good range
[19:37:19] <cncformywife> deremel q proxxon

[19:37:54] <kfoltman> it will be loud and weak
[19:37:57] <kfoltman> and die quickly
[19:38:00] <kfoltman> even worse
[19:38:03] <kfoltman> it's hard to mount
[19:38:15] <Jymmm> Dremel is EASY to mount
[19:38:29] <XXCoder2> yeah trim router has this very nice sleeve thats round and easy to mount
[19:38:31] <kfoltman> proxxon has a collar which you can mount in SK20 block, and it stays there
[19:38:55] <kfoltman> the block itself is a standard part so it's not very expensive
[19:39:21] <kfoltman> I've previously used dremel and an aluminium tape, but it wasn't reliable

[19:40:12] <cncformywife> look nice!!
[19:40:30] <kfoltman> cncformywife: yeah maybe for drilling small holes in phenolic PCBs :P
[19:41:08] <cncformywife> and for plastic?
[19:41:22] <kfoltman> maybe
[19:41:28] <kfoltman> depends on plastic I suppose
[19:41:35] <cncformywife> on wood?
[19:41:42] <kfoltman> I really wouldn't do that
[19:42:04] <cncformywife> i want small and acurate machine.
[19:42:09] <kfoltman> get proxxon :)
[19:42:30] <kfoltman> extra bonus: low runout, so you can use *really* small drills :)
[19:42:36] <kfoltman> or endmills
[19:42:49] <XXCoder2> is there professal type spidles smaller than dermel lol
[19:43:00] <kfoltman> XXCoder2: haven't seen one
[19:43:22] <kfoltman> the smaller I've seen (in a picture) was a 300W Chinese spindle, but people say it's crap, very underpowered
[19:43:49] <XXCoder2> whoa
[19:43:56] <XXCoder2> no computer glue gun http://danieldebruin.tumblr.com/tnt

[19:44:10] <XXCoder2> barely any electrics it seems
[19:44:39] <XXCoder2> rather, NO electrics
[19:44:47] <cncformywife> i have the brake out board and 3 drivers..
[19:45:19] <cncformywife> kfoltman: you see the machines in the link?
[19:45:59] <cncformywife> they small and very precise and you can mill any material.
[19:46:12] <kfoltman> heh
[19:46:18] <kfoltman> 21000 USD
[19:46:32] <kfoltman> 400W spindle, 4x dremel?
[19:47:35] <kfoltman> the cheapest one is $8000
[19:48:01] <kfoltman> Feed rate XY-axis: 0.0039 to 1.9 in./s (0.1 to 50 mm/sec.),
[19:48:28] <kfoltman> Spindle motor Brushless DC motor, Maximum 100 W
[19:48:45] <XXCoder2> amazing machine
[19:49:04] <XXCoder2> I can't imange the precision needed to build such a machine. no computer, no electricity!
[19:49:07] <kfoltman> Acceptable materials Resins such as chemical wood and modeling wax (metal not supported)

[19:50:25] <Jymmm> Thats what glue guns are for.
[19:50:25] <XXCoder2> wonder if it would work with epoxy lol
[19:51:40] <kfoltman> cncformywife: the 21k USD machine won't mill steel either, only non-ferrous metals

[20:02:30] <XXCoder2> its just row of holders on side
[20:02:50] <cncformywife> kfoltman: give my CNC i will change tools for free.
[20:02:52] <XXCoder2> your Y have to be wider than work area so it can get out of work area to pick up and drop tools
[20:03:05] <kfoltman> right, but you still need the 'clip on' mechanism to attach tools
[20:03:16] <XXCoder2> indeed
[20:03:22] <kfoltman> as opposed to fiddling with the chuck
[20:04:22] <XXCoder2> well
[20:04:30] <XXCoder2> sounds like you need 2 parts
[20:05:11] <XXCoder2> one to hold it, and another to prevent it from being rotated (whole whin spins but bit assemly itself should not have its own rotation in respect of machine spin)
[20:05:48] <XXCoder2> machines at work has holder part that has ball on top and slots on bottom. it grips ball and clips is where it prevents rpotation
[20:05:49] <kfoltman> a solenoid to push on the tool lock on the proxxon? (-:
[20:06:20] <cncformywife> what about clips like SDS?

[20:33:05] <Loetmichel> ... and three-slot, not 4 slot
[20:33:31] <kfoltman> my 3.2mm collet lets the tools "sink", not sure if it's just because of layer depth (= excessive force pushing the bit in) or is there something wrong with it

[20:44:22] <Loetmichel> kfoltman: tighten the collet chuck better
[20:48:15] <Einar1> It could also be the collet is bellmouthed. Or the collet holder does not have the right cone angle, in which case every collet will be bellmouthed.
[20:51:14] <Einar1> I complained about my 2.2Kw spindle being way out of spec (runout). First I measured it to be very good, then I tried another collet and it was 0.06mm out.
[20:53:38] <Einar1> Then back to the first collet and bit, and now that was also way out of spec. What is happening? Then I measured the tapered cone in the spindle shaft and it was out by 0.03-0.05mm at the front and at the inner end of the taper. Also it was very rough ground. So it will grip the collet differently each time.
[20:55:05] <Einar1> The seller said this was a drop in quality all over China. Actually I believe him, but told him he should not state a runout that is 10 times better than what we get!
[20:55:53] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: just finished my table upgrade
[20:56:04] <kfoltman> want a pic? vomit trigger alert...
[20:58:10] <Einar1> He said he will have a new spindle shaft made to spec and send me. We'll see if it shows up. If so, we know at least one seller of these spindles that can be used. He said he could do this in the future for

[21:19:23] <XXCoder1> cncformywife: http://cncsimulator.info/
[21:20:04] <cncformywife> XXCoder1: it's free?
[21:20:08] <XXCoder1> kind of
[21:20:22] <XXCoder1> you have to "refill" it once per few months but costs nothing
[21:20:34] <XXCoder1> you have to pay if you don't want to, but its really not annoying.
[21:21:47] <cncformywife> what do you mean?
[21:21:55] <XXCoder1> you get an email
[21:22:11] <Nebukadneza> mh, say -- is there a good gcode simulator that can preview 4-axis (i.e., hotwire-)cutting?
[21:22:17] <XXCoder1> you click it, website provides you with "petrol code" which enables cncsimiliator to run for another 3 months
[21:22:18] <Loetmichel> hmm, opinions? better use the red switches to "move" the buttons from tha back to the front or the black ones? -> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=15026
[21:23:16] <XXCoder1> gonna mow yard, laters

[21:47:39] <cncformywife> what cad program you guys using?
[21:47:48] <kfoltman> cncformywife: draftsight
[21:48:01] <Loetmichel> <- corel draw 8 ;-)
[21:48:17] <kfoltman> o.O
[21:48:29] <cncformywife> so.. no 3d programs?
[21:48:47] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: I tried to seal it with carpenters glue, but I don't think it helped

[21:49:15] <kfoltman> it is
[21:49:35] <kfoltman> will probably need to put proper sealant instead
[21:49:39] <cncformywife> kfoltman: too dark pic!

[21:52:13] <kfoltman> cncformywife: mostly, teething problems
[21:52:35] <kfoltman> up to now the table was bent so I couldn't do any engraving type tasks
[21:52:44] <cncformywife> teething??
[21:52:54] <kfoltman> as in, problems due to "not done properly yet"
[21:53:05] <kfoltman> I'm a beginner at this
[21:53:08] <XXCoder1> whew
[21:53:13] <cncformywife> me to..
[21:53:18] <XXCoder1> bit cloudy but hella lot humidity and heat
[21:54:11] <cncformywife> kfoltman: how the table get bent?
[21:54:27] <cncformywife> water?
[21:54:28] <XXCoder1> yeah how
[21:54:56] <kfoltman> cncformywife: not enough rigidity + ballscrew/rail connection sucks
[21:55:19] <kfoltman> the table practically sits on the carriage blocks for linear rails
[21:55:32] <kfoltman> but the ballscrew (for legacy reasons, let's say) is a few cm away
[21:55:43] <cncformywife> we need thamspeak server..
[21:56:27] <cncformywife> you can take a pic from the side?
[21:56:48] <kfoltman> you won't see anything, because the rail and the table is in the way
[21:57:23] <cncformywife> you build by any instractions?
[21:57:25] <kfoltman> I'll make a better pic tomorrow in daylight, so you'll be able to see the dodginess of the ballscrew mount in its full glory ;)
[21:57:43] <cncformywife> flash light...
[21:57:51] <kfoltman> still not enough light
[21:58:21] <kfoltman> I improvised the whole thing based on available materials/tools, so some parts are really bad

[22:03:31] <XXCoder1> actually once you have a crude cnc machone thats accurate enough
[22:03:37] <XXCoder1> you can build better machine with it.
[22:03:56] <XXCoder1> or upgrade parts
[22:04:01] <cncformywife> but you cant make same size..
[22:04:06] <cncformywife> only smaller..
[22:04:09] <XXCoder1> sure you can

[22:04:57] <cncformywife> and how you make the parts for it??
[22:05:06] <Loetmichel> on a friends CNC mill
[22:05:19] <Loetmichel> that was a engraver i modified to be a cnc mill
[22:05:23] <Loetmichel> 20 years ago
[22:05:25] <cncformywife> hehe LOL
[22:05:26] <cncformywife> <cncformywife> rule num 1! first pull cnc out of my ass
[22:05:28] <XXCoder1> most of parts is small enough. only few are not. You make large parts manually
[22:06:07] <cncformywife> but we dont have a friend with cnc!!
[22:06:16] <XXCoder1> you make your first cnc yourself
[22:06:26] <XXCoder1> I am building entire cnc machine manually
[22:07:20] <cncformywife> in my design i hope i can make it with only jigsaw..
[22:07:31] <cncformywife> this is all i have...
[22:07:36] <XXCoder1> I have tabl saw and drill press
[22:07:53] <cncformywife> you in NY?
[22:08:25] <cncformywife> XXCoder1: ^?
[22:08:55] <XXCoder1> me? sure. just 2,870 miles west
[22:09:12] <cncformywife> hehe..!
[22:09:20] <cncformywife> cool nice.
[22:09:26] <XXCoder1> heh
[22:09:40] <XXCoder1> went to interview at maryland twice and nj once
[22:09:47] <XXCoder1> didnt get job lol
[22:09:51] <kfoltman> cncformywife: well, 'my design' is a bit of overstatement, given that I borrowed ideas from everywhere
[22:10:02] <kfoltman> cncformywife: the frame is based on solsylva 13x13" machine
[22:10:28] <cncformywife> kfoltman: you see the rendering?

[22:12:13] <XXCoder1> unsupported is fine if larger diameter?
[22:12:17] <XXCoder1> like 30mm
[22:12:24] <kfoltman> especially if it has to withstand the load of large gantry / spindle
[22:12:28] <Loetmichel> XXCoder1: depends on travel
[22:12:44] <Loetmichel> 30mm would be ok for 300mm travel, not more
[22:12:46] <XXCoder1> Loetmichel: assume cnc's machine since it really is his design ;)
[22:13:14] <kfoltman> I'm sure there are calculators for deflection of an unsupported rod ;)
[22:13:22] <cncformywife> kfoltman: ^
[22:13:24] <XXCoder1> m sure too
[22:13:51] <kfoltman> anyway, nice rendering, but I wouldn't want that machine ;)
[22:13:59] <Loetmichel> i had one with 25mm unsupported and 1000mm*600mm travel...: you could pull the mill bit about 2mm with less than 10kg force

[22:14:15] <XXCoder1> still figuring lots stuff
[22:14:21] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: heh
[22:14:34] <XXCoder1> notice there is no motors yet and Z axis is impossible to place due to no room for motor
[22:14:41] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: I realized that my rails are not screwed to the base properly
[22:14:47] <kfoltman> only a few screws
[22:14:51] <Loetmichel> thats bad
[22:14:54] <kfoltman> so, plenty of deflection there as well
[22:14:59] <Loetmichel> use every aviable hole in the rails!
[22:15:07] <cncformywife> XXCoder1: what is the program that you use??
