[00:22:56] <Bent> Hey guys, working on a mill/3d printer. NEMA 17's with 68oz-in, probably wood construction, shapeoko 2 like design, 300x300x200mm build volume. Want it to do aluminium. My question is about linear glides. I've seen some controversy about drawer slides, what is your opinion?
[00:24:51] <archivist> drawer slides have too much play to be used for milling

[00:25:16] <Solarlux> Hello all again
[00:25:16] <Solarlux> :D
[00:28:21] <Bent> I understand drawslides have a lotf play, but do they have too much for small aluminium jobs?
[00:28:30] -!- swingley has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[00:30:44] <archivist> play means snapped tooling and damaged work

[00:31:49] <MrCurious> over engineer the shit out of it
[00:33:21] <archivist> there is a reason milling machines are far more solid than 3d printers, it is the cutting force bending and moving the spindle in relation to the work
[00:37:22] <Bent> I've seen some successful milling machines work on drawerslides, I'm only looking for something to stick a dremel on.
[00:37:56] <Bent> I think with 2 slides and a leadscrew per axis I'll be okay.

[02:12:23] <Jymmm> When you can't have alignment pins, what's a good way to do half a job, then rotate it so you can do the other half?
[02:12:57] <Jymmm> This is a one-off job.
[02:15:58] <PetefromTn_> half vertically or half horizontally to fit inside a smaller envelope?
[02:16:22] <Jymmm> I have 12", workpiece is 16"
[02:16:36] <Jymmm> it's a matter of alignment when I rotate it
[02:16:53] -!- skunkworks_ [skunkworks_!~chatzilla@str-broadband-ccmts-ws-26.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:17:02] <PetefromTn_> the few times I have done this I was able to use some preexisting machine holes from the first side to locate the second half.
[02:17:48] <PetefromTn_> If it has a flat side you can align to the edge of the table as well.
[02:17:57] <Jymmm> I have a sqaure in the machine, it's the workpiece I question
[02:17:57] <Tom_itx> Jymmm, mill, router, laser, edm?
[02:18:10] <Tom_itx> lathe...
[02:18:12] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: doesn't really matter I'd think
[02:18:40] <PetefromTn_> does the part have any long flat edges?
[02:18:55] <Jymmm> I can do 8" worth, then rotate and do the other 8".
[02:19:10] <Jymmm> Kinda, it's a granite tile.
[02:19:29] <Jymmm> but if alignment is off by a mm or two it will show
[02:19:35] <Tom_itx> you can't clamp some stops somewhere?
[02:20:01] <PetefromTn_> we have used alignment pins inserted into the tee slots a bunch of times to locate an edge.
[02:20:26] <Tom_itx> well he just said he can't have alignment pins
[02:20:44] <PetefromTn_> I think he meant machined into the part no?
[02:20:46] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: there is a carpteners sqaure in the machine. that's not the problem, it's the material not having a mm's accuracy
[02:21:16] <Jymmm> It's granite tile, it could be not suare for example
[02:21:30] <Jymmm> or have a rough bump on the opposite edge
[02:21:56] <Jymmm> If I can figure out the centerline ALWAYS, I'd be good
[02:22:09] <Jymmm> instead of depending on any edge
[02:22:12] <Tom_itx> you said it was a one off
[02:22:19] <PetefromTn_> your best bet is to pickup a premachined feature on the previous op
[02:22:26] <Tom_itx> there's no 'always' in a one off...
[02:22:39] <PetefromTn_> is there a line of holes or a recatangular pocket in it?
[02:22:41] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: Yeah, I try to avoid these becuse of this.
[02:23:05] <Tom_itx> so find the rough centerline
[02:23:10] <Jymmm> PetefromTn_: None
[02:23:11] <Tom_itx> and cut out from that
[02:23:22] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: This is engraving, not cutting
[02:23:24] <PetefromTn_> and what the hell are you going to mill on a ceramic tile anyways LOL
[02:24:03] <MrCurious> all 3 delta carriages running with driver
[02:24:15] <Tom_itx> nice
[02:24:16] <Jymmm> PetefromTn_: I guess you havne't seen my "Teddy Bear" http://i54.tinypic.com/k2mo7n.jpg
[02:24:48] <PetefromTn_> if you are just engraving the tile maybe make a fixture that hold the tile for flipping around and put your alignment pins on that so you can reference the tee slots.
[02:25:20] <Tom_itx> that might be your best bet
[02:25:30] <Tom_itx> then you'd have a good reference point
[02:25:58] <Jymmm> I'm bleeding the edge, there's not room for a fixture
[02:26:07] <Jymmm> s/not/no/
[02:26:15] <PetefromTn_> if you can fit the tile you can fit the fixture that holds it.
[02:26:29] <PetefromTn_> you just would need to use some kinda removable adhesive to hold it to the fixture.
[02:26:43] <Jymmm> PetefromTn_: Uh, I CANT fit the tile, that's the point.
[02:27:15] <Tom_itx> Jymmm, if the fixture was say an angle aluminum and the aluminum was _under_ the tile, you could pin it _under_ the tile and have room
[02:27:34] <Tom_itx> use double tape to hold it
[02:28:14] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: The tape gave me an idea!
[02:28:37] <Jymmm> We use tape when doing optics calibration
[02:29:01] <Jymmm> cover the optics with tape and burn a spot.
[02:29:14] <Jymmm> Move to another point on the table, burn again.
[02:29:24] <Jymmm> they should be in alignment.
[02:29:54] <Jymmm> After engraving the first half, I can but tape on the tile, and burn two spots.
[02:30:06] -!- swingley has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[02:30:12] <Jymmm> rotate the tile, and burn spots again to verify alignment
[02:30:35] <Tom_itx> could work
[02:30:55] <Tom_itx> i'd burn 3
[02:31:07] <Tom_itx> one off alignment from the other 2
[02:31:19] <Tom_itx> use it for your X location point and use the other 2 for the Y
[02:31:47] <Jymmm> Well, once rotated, the 3rd wouldn't matter much
[02:32:46] <Jymmm> The diode laser is aligned with the cutting laser, so I can use that for rough alignment.
[02:33:12] <Jymmm> But it starts fuckign with yur eyes after 10 minutes if you keep trying to align by it

[16:12:04] <IchGuckLive> archivist_herron: ?
[16:14:48] <XXCoder2> hey
[16:18:29] <ssi> anyone have any thoughts on a way to make linuxcnc unhome all axes when machine is disabled?
[16:19:06] <syyl_ws> why would one?
[16:19:08] <syyl_ws> oO
[16:19:20] <ssi> I have my reasons :)
[16:19:29] <syyl_ws> thats a good reason ;)
[16:19:43] <syyl_ws> (no, never made any thoughts on that)
[16:19:47] <ssi> the gantry tends to want to be out of square
[16:19:53] <ssi> and with dual-homing, I can make it square
[16:20:02] <ssi> but when the machine is disabled, it pops back to where it tends to want to be
[16:20:07] <syyl_ws> ah ok
[16:20:10] <syyl_ws> got it :)
[16:20:13] <ssi> so if I disable then reenable, the machine thinks its homed, but it's WAY out
[16:20:29] <ssi> so I want to basically force a rehome anytime the drives get disabled
[16:20:38] <ssi> otherwise I know I'm going to forget and screw up a part
[16:20:44] <syyl_ws> wont you get a following error if the axis move by themself?
[16:20:48] <ssi> not with steppers
[16:20:55] <syyl_ws> aw, not feedback :D
[16:20:59] <ssi> right :)
[16:21:20] <IchGuckLive> ssi: do it your way
[16:21:20] <syyl_ws> im a bit spoiled with linear scales and steppers ;)
[16:21:41] <ssi> linear scales aren't really practical with two 24" travels and a 48" travel
[16:21:48] <ssi> IchGuckLive: my way?
[16:21:52] <syyl_ws> that will get a bit costly
[16:21:59] <IchGuckLive> unhome at every Gcode end
[16:22:13] <IchGuckLive> use a User mcode
[16:22:25] <syyl_ws> thats a horrible solution Oo
[16:22:29] <ssi> but it's not just at the end of gcode that it's an issue
[16:22:39] -!- larryone has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[16:22:39] <ssi> it's if I hit F1 or F2 to disable the machine and walk away
[16:22:44] <syyl_ws> always homing the machine before running a programm
[16:22:45] <ssi> then come back and reenable and try to run something
[16:22:45] <syyl_ws> Oo
[16:22:46] <ssi> it'll be a problem

[16:24:40] <syyl_ws> ;)
[16:24:46] <ssi> I may be able to write a component that does it
[16:24:49] <IchGuckLive> ok my english understanding is far from perfect
[16:24:59] <ssi> I jsut have to figure out how to interact with axis
[16:25:04] <ssi> or something
[16:25:31] <IchGuckLive> gantry homing there are plenty of comps out even kenetics can handle this

[16:37:50] <syyl_ws> and a walk to the edm guy
[16:37:54] <syyl_ws> to burn it out
[16:38:19] <PetefromTn_> I hate tapping stainless.
[16:38:51] <syyl_ws> i went to thread milling in those !!!"(/Xyy materials
[16:38:55] <syyl_ws> way more relaxing
[16:39:03] <syyl_ws> as a broken thread mill can just be blown out
[16:39:05] <PetefromTn_> I remember the shop I worked in on the last two days I worked there my friend had to tap like fifty holes in this large 3/8 stainless plate.
[16:39:32] <IchGuckLive> making parts out of 2316 is a nightmar
[16:39:38] <PetefromTn_> they ordered some diffiuclt to tap and machine because it saved them a couple bucks.
[16:40:16] <PetefromTn_> He wound up after rigid tapping very shallow just to get a thread started and finishing by hand carefully STILL breaking four taps in the part.
[16:40:17] <XXCoder2> PetefromTn_: guess they dont realize employee time is more spendy than once bill of tools
[16:40:27] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder2: https://d2t1xqejof9utc.cloudfront.net/screenshots/pics/d221aa7cf54f87348840da11756873ee/medium.jpg if you wanted to tap that center hole in the extrusion and the length of the part is anywhere from ~1/4" to 210", would you use a drill press?
[16:40:29] <PetefromTn_> Oh hell no
[16:41:09] <syyl_ws> i would use one of those parallel taping arms
[16:41:21] <syyl_ws> that would be the right thing for the job
[16:41:30] <humble_sea_bass> i have a drill press as tall as the brooklyn bridge
[16:41:34] <XXCoder2> capt with some good jig sure. just make it hold 8020 by side slot

[16:41:50] <PetefromTn_> They were always cheaping out on cutters and materials most times taking it in the ass afterwards because of broken tooling and lots time.
[16:41:58] <IchGuckLive> humble_sea_bass: russians liker that size of mashine
[16:42:02] <syyl_ws> radial arm drill with a hole in the ground next to it
[16:42:03] <syyl_ws> :D
[16:42:13] <syyl_ws> a lokal shop here had such a setup
[16:42:31] <XXCoder2> *in end I mean
[16:42:37] <syyl_ws> to drill long parts on the face
[16:43:07] <syyl_ws> drop the part in the hole, clamp it against the square table of the machine and youre off to go :D
[16:43:40] <PetefromTn_> you talking about a large radial drill?
[16:43:47] <syyl_ws> yeah
[16:43:56] <CaptHindsight> I wonder if a drill can operate sideways, like a wall mount lathe?
[16:43:56] <syyl_ws> that was a pretty cool setup
[16:44:04] <PetefromTn_> yeah they are sweet. They had a HUGE one at the shop I was working in.
[16:44:10] <syyl_ws> why not?
[16:44:16] <syyl_ws> like in a horizontal boring mill
[16:44:26] <XXCoder2> 90 degree turn for drill bit?
[16:45:39] <CaptHindsight> how would a drill press handle backing the tap out of the hole, reversing switch?

[16:46:05] <XXCoder2> cross one of belts? hmm likely wont work lol

[16:46:07] <humble_sea_bass> doesnt the extrusion alrealy have a hole down center
[16:46:19] <XXCoder2> humble_sea_bass: nontapped
[16:46:50] <humble_sea_bass> you don't need to tap more than a few inches
[16:46:50] <PetefromTn_> IchGuckLive Yeah that is similar to the one they have there but I think theirs is probably larger.
[16:46:54] <CaptHindsight> heh, yeah t-slot comes extruded with the proper hole size ready to just be tapped

[16:55:03] <humble_sea_bass> Caution: It appears that one could theoretically increase the thread strength by increasing the length
[16:55:07] <humble_sea_bass> of engagement. However, as illustrated in the Load Distribution chart above, the first thread will be

[17:21:47] <ssi> CaptHindsight: any thoughts on how to make the lower tube (which controls focus height) into a Z axis?
[17:22:15] <CaptHindsight> http://www.pbclinear.com/LPM-Low-Profile-Mini-Rail-Linear-Guide precision drawer slide
[17:22:21] <ssi> I don't have a ton of room to work with, and might have to do it only on one side because the beam enters the other side
[17:24:20] <ssi> also, that pbc stuff looks handy, but "fill in a form for a quote" pretty much guarantees I'll never use them
[17:24:53] <ssi> cause that's code for "it's $1000 each or 1000 for $2000"
[17:25:18] <archivist> last time I filled a form in I never got a reply
[17:25:54] <ssi> igus is the same way, but I was at least able to buy some stuff from them
[17:26:17] <CaptHindsight> doesn't igus have an online store now for many parts?
[17:26:25] <ssi> yeah
[17:26:40] <ssi> but once you order from it, they sic the sales reps on you :)
[17:26:51] <ssi> although the sales reps sent me a big box of samples, so that was cool I guess

[17:29:26] <CaptHindsight> ssi: whats there to work with? is that knurled ring part of the tip?
[17:29:27] <archivist> I got the brochures and samples at a show
[17:29:45] <ssi> CaptHindsight: the knurled ring is a jam nut for the nozzle
[17:30:08] <ssi> the focus lens lives in the tube, the tube can slide up and down to change the focal height, and the nozzle can be adjusted on the tube to change the clearance from the end of the nozzle to the spot
[17:30:19] <ssi> right now it's about .350" from the end of the nozzle to the spot
[17:30:35] <ssi> I run into a lot of problems because plywood is miserably not flat
[17:30:44] <ssi> and cutting big pieces, my focus is all over the place
[17:30:54] <ssi> contemplating ways of making something like a THC
[17:31:02] <ssi> but it requires somehow giving the focus motion
[17:31:25] <CaptHindsight> we move the z while we track the surface
[17:31:55] <ssi> right, that's what I'm getting at
[17:32:00] <ssi> lemme put up a better pic
[17:32:02] <CaptHindsight> laser displacement sensor
[17:32:37] <ssi> sure... sensor part will have to happen, but it's useless without a way to move the lens
[17:32:47] <ssi> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BuIYL4rIAAArx6b.jpg
[17:34:00] <ssi> I bet a head could be made which enclosed the focus in a voice coil actuator, but that's probably beyond the scope of my project
[17:34:33] <XXCoder2> Got stupid idea for ya ssi lol
[17:34:39] <ssi> i love stupid ideas
[17:35:01] <XXCoder2> control laser strength by voice. you could literally "record" noises as it moves across surface
[17:35:14] <ssi> :)
[17:35:47] <ssi> be better to write a kinematics module that controls motion normal to the path by sound
[17:35:52] <ssi> then you could cut a spiral
[17:35:54] -!- MrSunshine has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]

[17:36:05] <ssi> and laser-cut a very crappy sounding record
[17:36:18] <XXCoder2> yeah but I was just thinking of neat effect not record

[19:18:01] <XXCoder2> it dont really have to be that accurate, it just adjusts cut so it will successfully "recreate" stock digitally for it to figure where to cut or npt
[19:18:38] <XXCoder2> or to alter where Z it cuts so nice logo can appear on courved mouse as it shows on video

[19:24:36] <XXCoder2> not much room for curved parts lol
[19:27:28] <CaptHindsight> we usually start with the 3d model for the part and if we don't have that scan --> point cloud --> 3d model --> CAD, CAM --> G-code
[19:28:06] <XXCoder2> that is pretty lot of work if you just want engrave logo
[19:28:32] <XXCoder2> it has bonus of working on any curved surface - create logo flat surface then use this to place on anything

[19:33:01] <XXCoder2> that is awesome. done by same software I see
[19:33:21] <CaptHindsight> you could use that print hot melt on non-planar surfaces as well
[19:33:30] <CaptHindsight> to print
[19:33:45] <XXCoder2> thats nice too. wonder if creator know
[19:33:56] <Tom_itx> mine will do a wrap, projected or follow the contour
[19:34:22] <XXCoder2> print on spheric surface to have initial curve without having to build supporting pastic
[19:34:29] <CaptHindsight> don't tell anyone of there will be a kickstarter of how they use a glue gun to decorate non-planar parts
[19:36:34] <CaptHindsight> but then they'll need a 5-axis glue gun
[19:37:18] <XXCoder2> as long as it does not hit surface with wrong part of glue gun head, I wouldnt think its a big issue.

[23:20:53] <XXCoder2> good solid plan lol
[23:21:04] <PetefromTn_> gotta have priorities..
[23:22:10] <PetefromTn_> these are getting a five stage finish with glaze and clear etc so it takes a bit longer but that is NO excuse for how long it has taken for sure. My wife sure is happy the sink is back tho hehehe

[23:28:05] <XXCoder2> cool
[23:29:07] <MrCurious> wonder if marlin would be viable to drive a cnc machine

[23:30:58] <pcw_home> asah: you may have A , *B and *A , B pairs

[23:31:58] <pcw_home> also if you are running 2.6 or master you can look at the A/B encoder lines in HAL

[23:34:44] <asah> I do have A and A* and B and B* pairs. are you thinking I need to pair A->B and A* -> B* ???
[23:34:56] <asah> I think I am running master over here.
[23:35:09] <asah> where is A/B separate avail in hal?
[23:36:46] <pcw_home> The way to check the wiring is connect a DVM _across_ A and *A and B and *B
[23:37:20] <asah> dvm or a scope?
[23:37:33] <pcw_home> DVM is fine
[23:37:51] <asah> like twist A with A* and check that relative to B twisted with B* ?? seems weird.

[23:38:39] <asah> ok I think I see what yo uare saying. that I should just do connectivity to determine the pairs if I have them messed up.
[23:38:54] <pcw_home> No its just a common wiring mistake with diff encoders to have a A matched with B
[23:39:56] <asah> and I am looking for voltage?
[23:40:00] <asah> (none found)
[23:40:18] <pcw_home> if you measure across A and *A you should measure ~ 3V or ~ -3V but never 0
[23:41:02] <pcw_home> (as you wiggle the encoder shaft around to see the various states)
[23:41:16] <pcw_home> likewise for B
[23:43:16] <pcw_home> I think I went through this on a forum post
[23:43:17] <pcw_home> for differential encoders with index, and assuming the
[23:43:19] <pcw_home> power is wired correctly, there are 720 possible wirings
[23:43:21] <pcw_home> of which only 48 work
[23:43:27] <ssi> ha
[23:43:39] <asah> oh lovely.
[23:43:46] <ssi> 6 factorial :P
[23:44:03] <ssi> except I'm not sure if that's exactly correct combinatorics
[23:45:01] <ssi> isn't it like k!/(k-n)!n! or something like that?
[23:45:06] <ssi> my combinatorics escapes me :)
[23:45:07] <pcw_home> I'm pretty sure thats right

[23:46:17] <ssi> yea you're right, nm: )
[23:47:43] <pcw_home> most of the funny connections count 1,0,1,0, or similar or once/turns for index / AB swaps
[23:48:59] <pcw_home> the A/B pins are part of the encoder now (In 2.6 and master) so you can just halscope/halmeter them
[23:53:37] <asah> really weird…
[23:53:49] <asah> I can see it on the scope, but not on either of my two dvms
[23:55:54] <ssi> are you trying to dvm it while it's spinning?
[23:56:07] <asah> yes.
[23:56:10] <ssi> if so I imagine it'd average out to 0 :)
[23:56:17] <asah> but really slow.
[23:56:44] <asah> I am certainly seeing an A and a B quadrature signal.
[23:56:57] <asah> they are 90 degrees from each other on the scope.
