[00:53:43] <CaptHindsight> I misread that as 8.215 lbs and wondered why they used such a sensitive scale :)

[00:58:18] <CaptHindsight> PetefromTn_: did you start hunting down tanks and tubs?
[00:59:02] <PetefromTn_> not yet actually spent most of the day machining parts and trying to find a decent 4x4 to buy for a DD
[00:59:05] <robin_sz> PetefromTn_, laser would be fine for those
[00:59:24] <PetefromTn_> wish I had a laser that could pierce 1/2 inch 1018 plate
[00:59:31] <robin_sz> not too thick, won't need profile machining, should be quite nice
[00:59:44] <robin_sz> most will
[01:00:01] <robin_sz> anything over 3kw won't have any trouble with that
[01:00:42] <robin_sz> my old 800W YAG used to pierce 10mm easy
[01:02:25] <robin_sz> theres a UK laser company that has online automated part pricing ;) .. if you want a guide price to convert to dollars
[01:02:53] <robin_sz> you just upload your DXF, out comes the price
[01:05:51] <PetefromTn_> nice
[01:06:28] <PetefromTn_> there is a local place that has a real big one I am gonna ask them what they would charge for them and I can just finish machine them. Won't make as much cash but might be worth a look.
[01:06:52] <PetefromTn_> CaptHindsight I am definitely interested in trying the anodizing.

[15:59:04] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[16:00:52] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: the issue is when the nozzle lifts and moves to another location the thermoplastic leaves a small filament since the nozzle doesn't cut the flow of molten thermoplastic
[16:01:38] <CaptHindsight> if the nozzle is extruding a thermoplastic and a CF at the same time the thin filament is pretty strong
[16:01:53] <Jymmm> CF?
[16:02:01] <Jymmm> cont flow?
[16:02:19] <CaptHindsight> so if left looped up above the surface the nozzle would crash (CF = carbon fiber)
[16:02:39] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@dslb-088-072-223-195.088.072.pools.vodafone-ip.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:03:05] <CaptHindsight> there was much discussion over should the nozzle have a cutter on the tip or should they pat down the extruded material
[16:03:33] <CaptHindsight> the decision was made to pat down the surface after extruding
[16:03:52] <Jymmm> That sounds more like a software issue. There are automated dispensers that stop and even reverse the flow to prevent dripping prior to jogging to the next fill point.
[16:04:26] <CaptHindsight> cnc glue guns don't have a valve in the extruder
[16:04:46] <CaptHindsight> they work very similar to actual hand operated glue guns
[16:05:03] <Jymmm> *shrug*
[16:05:06] <CaptHindsight> so they can't cut off the flow very quickly
[16:05:11] <malcom2073> Retract and wipe
[16:05:38] <CaptHindsight> I know sounds "challenging" doesn't it
[16:06:09] <Jymmm> I've used industrial glue guns, ie a tank of molten hot glue attached to a heated hose and gun, Never had an issue with drips or "tails" for a lack of a better word.
[16:06:28] <CaptHindsight> so rather than have a valve and cutter on the tip of the extruder they decided to pat down the material after it's deposited
[16:07:02] <_methods> groundbreaking
[16:07:07] <Jymmm> imo sounds like a bandaid and not a root-cause solution
[16:07:08] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[16:07:15] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: that is because hot melts get formulated for the given application
[16:07:56] <CaptHindsight> and you can't tell a glue gun fanatic to do the same with filaments or to design a proper nozzle and extruder
[16:08:21] <CaptHindsight> that would be "overbuilding" or something similar :)
[16:08:35] <malcom2073> If you have a better idea, design it. Otherwise you sound a lot like those you're bashing on :P
[16:08:38] <Jymmm> Sorry, I shouldn't have let myself get dragged into this and I blame _methods for that
[16:08:47] <CaptHindsight> malcom2073: I do

[16:09:00] <malcom2073> CaptHindsight: And make it available open source for the public?
[16:09:14] <CaptHindsight> malcom2073: some is open some is not
[16:10:34] <CaptHindsight> malcom2073: they even avoid Linuxcnc
[16:10:48] <malcom2073> CaptHindsight: Not all of them, just the ones you focus on :P
[16:11:07] <CaptHindsight> they prefer *duinos and short sighted motion controls
[16:12:00] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: it's not short sighted, just no need for that precision/control/accuracy.
[16:12:07] <malcom2073> I can point to a decent number of cnc mill people who prefer duinos and things like grbl though, so it has nothing to do with reprap.
[16:12:57] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: it's mostly been taken over by people trying to make a $ off those a bit behind them in glue gun tech
[16:13:17] <CaptHindsight> the SLA/DLP printers have gone the same route
[16:13:49] <malcom2073> So has the CNC market
[16:14:48] <Jymmm> If I want to hook a hdmi device to advi/vga display, what do I want an hdmi-to-dvi -OR- dvo-to-hdmi adapter?
[16:16:00] <malcom2073> That always screws with me
[16:16:00] <malcom2073> I think both adapters are the same, the only difference being gender
[16:16:07] <malcom2073> for dumb adapters
[16:16:58] <CaptHindsight> malcom2073: aren'y you the one that was also pro cloud based CAD?
[16:16:58] <CaptHindsight> or were you joking?

[16:17:23] <CaptHindsight> so mostly trolling

[18:20:35] <MrFluffy> that amiga here has sd cards for its scsi hard disks...
[18:20:50] <MrFluffy> and has a floppy emulator that uses usb sticks to hold 1000 floppies at once

[18:45:27] <cradek> I don't see how that follows from the explanation
[18:45:33] <Computer_barf> although cradek just made it sound like i don't even have do to that
[18:45:47] <Computer_barf> that maybe I change my program to cut deeper and don't even bother
[18:46:27] <Computer_barf> the program ended with the tool raised an inch or so above the starting point ,
[18:46:49] <MrFluffy> tjtr33, very nice, give it a knife and you have a large format paper cutter?
[18:46:52] <Computer_barf> but i suppose if linuxcnc knows where zero is, it will run the program relative to that
[18:48:15] <cradek> if you don't change offsets and your program is in absolute mode (G90) it will run in the same place the second time

[20:45:09] <XXCoder> its easy part, just strip of alum curved ends

[20:45:42] <XXCoder> I can, its tricky holding thats problem
[20:45:48] <XXCoder> must place it so both ends are cut
[20:46:00] <XXCoder> if too far left or right one end is uncut and scrap
[20:46:19] <zeeshan|2> :/
[20:46:21] <XXCoder> not too diffult even then, but again and again jeez
[20:47:41] <zeeshan|2> lol
[20:48:40] <XXCoder> I like old job method better
[20:48:48] <XXCoder> they do curved ends first
[20:49:05] <XXCoder> then go to cutter cut em into parts
[20:49:16] <XXCoder> then cnc mill smooth cut ends
[20:49:19] <XXCoder> thats it

[21:12:18] <PetefromTn_> sweet good luck!
[21:12:20] <tiwake> had to basically reverse engineer the driver board for the DC servos
[21:12:29] <tiwake> on this stupid haas VF1
[21:12:45] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: lol basically i gott amake a wedge for one of the jobs i gotta get done tonight
[21:12:50] <zeeshan|2> he wants a rough texture.
[21:12:57] <zeeshan|2> im thinking taking a 1.5" end mill
[21:13:04] <zeeshan|2> and just feeding it at 20 ipt
[21:13:05] <zeeshan|2> 0.020
[21:13:10] <zeeshan|2> what do you think? :P
[21:13:32] <tiwake> zeeshan|2: counting on deflection to make a taper?
[21:13:40] <zeeshan|2> no
[21:13:44] <zeeshan|2> to make the rough surface
[21:13:48] <tiwake> oh
[21:13:49] <zeeshan|2> my other option is using a ball end mill
[21:13:53] <zeeshan|2> to make diamonds
[21:13:57] <zeeshan|2> but thats more work and he's not paying me for it
[21:14:11] <tiwake> yeah..hmm
[21:14:20] <tiwake> use a roughing endmill
[21:14:22] <PetefromTn_> not sure what you mean
[21:14:23] <zeeshan|2> i like need to knurl a part
[21:14:23] <zeeshan|2> lol
[21:14:24] <tiwake> if you have one
[21:14:48] <tiwake> those leave a nice texture
[21:15:04] <zeeshan|2> give me a few min to model it
[21:15:40] <tiwake> zeeshan|2:
http://www.use-enco.com/ProductImages/0188696-23.jpg
[21:15:54] <tiwake> they leave groves in the metal
[21:16:10] <tiwake> unless you are planning on using the end part of the endmill
[21:16:46] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[21:17:53] <zeeshan|2> those just make circles
[21:17:59] <zeeshan|2> oh you mean
[21:18:03] <zeeshan|2> use it with side milling
[21:18:07] <tiwake> yeah
[21:18:28] <tiwake> might not be feasible if its a big part
[21:18:42] <zeeshan|2> 3x4
[21:18:46] <zeeshan|2> yea
[21:18:51] <tiwake> borderline
[21:18:54] -!- robinsz [robinsz!~robin@88.97.63.122] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:19:42] <tiwake> enh, two passes using a big 1" roughing endmill... those are typically what, 2" of flute?
[21:19:44] <zeeshan|2> http://i.imgur.com/7Viw5mP.png
[21:19:49] <zeeshan|2> i havent cammed it yet
[21:19:52] <zeeshan|2> but im thinking 20 min
[21:19:54] <zeeshan|2> not worth it
[21:20:00] <zeeshan|2> i was gonna just take a 1.5" end mill
[21:20:23] <zeeshan|2> and do the angle in one pass
[21:20:27] <zeeshan|2> at 0.020 ipt
[21:20:39] <zeeshan|2> but i still think it wont leave nice deep scallops
[21:20:47] <zeeshan|2> i want like 10 thou scallops
[21:20:55] <tiwake> hmm
[21:21:41] <tiwake> not a nice way to grab that
[21:21:47] <tiwake> yeah, have fun
[21:21:49] <zeeshan|2> lol
[21:21:57] <zeeshan|2> well its easy to grab
[21:22:03] <zeeshan|2> i just put angles under it
[21:22:12] <zeeshan|2> so the part is at an angle
[21:22:22] <zeeshan|2> and flatten the material sticking out
[21:22:36] <tiwake> right, but you cant rough machine it very nicely
[21:22:52] <tiwake> maybe a fly cutter if he does not care about circular groves?
[21:23:16] <zeeshan|2> hey thats not a bad idea.
[21:23:36] <zeeshan|2> i can quickly grind a \/ profile
[21:23:45] <tiwake> woo \o/
[21:23:45] <zeeshan|2> and then set 0.010 doc
[21:23:54] <zeeshan|2> and then feed it really fast
[21:23:57] <zeeshan|2> to get the even patterns
[21:24:10] <zeeshan|2> good idea :P
[21:24:34] <tiwake> I don't get to use fly cutters very often
[21:24:36] <zeeshan|2> okay i gotta do this other job that im already late on quickly
[21:24:37] <tiwake> lol
[21:24:42] <zeeshan|2> and then ill attempt this later tonight
[21:24:57] <tiwake> and I have a machine to assemble and test!
[21:25:12] <zeeshan|2> what type
[21:25:41] <tiwake> haas VF1... turns out the carbon buildup inside the DC servo was causing power to leak over
[21:25:52] <zeeshan|2> damn pm dc motors
[21:25:53] <zeeshan|2> :P
[21:26:21] <tiwake> and a separate issue the driver board for that axis blew out from a bad PAL chip
[21:26:31] <tiwake> I thought it was one issue at first
[21:26:49] <tiwake> well, until two days ago
[21:26:51] <tiwake> meh
[21:26:56] <tiwake> last couple days have been long
[21:27:05] <tiwake> trying to figure out this machine
[21:27:34] <tiwake> thats the last part of the machine that has not been taken apart and put back together
[21:27:39] <tiwake> until today
[21:27:41] <tiwake> lol
[21:28:17] <tiwake> we have a very complete understanding of every bolt in that machine now
[21:28:39] <_methods> it's a haas, you'll need that
[21:28:53] <zeeshan|2> nice
[21:29:11] <tiwake> its the 136'th machine haas built
[21:29:24] <tiwake> built in 1990
[21:29:25] <_methods> ugh
[21:29:45] <tiwake> yeah, I hate it too... lol
[21:30:24] <_methods> well the only good thing about a haas is their support
[21:30:43] <_methods> they are so good at fixin their broken machines they make other techs look silly
[21:30:47] -!- furrywolf has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:31:15] <_methods> i'm pretty sure if you get 3 haas techs together with their vans they can assemble a full vf3 from the parts in thier trucks
[21:31:22] <tiwake> we cant afford somebody to come in and fix it
[21:31:38] <_methods> theyll actually help you over the phone usually
[21:31:50] <_methods> they do whatever they can to not send someone
[21:31:51] <tiwake> not if its the 136th machine they made
[21:31:54] <_methods> hahah
[21:32:00] <_methods> maybe not
[21:32:21] <tiwake> the service manuals online dont go further back than 1993
[21:32:28] -!- ve7it [ve7it!~LawrenceG@S01060014d19d0b68.pk.shawcable.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:32:36] <tiwake> and the programming manuals only go back to 1995
[21:32:37] <_methods> yeah you're kinda back in the dark ages with that one
[21:32:54] <_methods> the ballscrews are still good?
[21:33:03] <tiwake> actually it seems so
[21:33:06] <_methods> wild
[21:33:16] <_methods> spindle bearings?
[21:33:18] <tiwake> it has been worked on before, that much is obvious
[21:33:24] <_methods> it's a haas
[21:33:27] <_methods> that's a given
[21:33:48] <tiwake> the Y axis servo has been serviced fairly recently
[21:33:57] <_methods> we have 4 haas machines at my shop and there is something broke on them every month
[21:34:25] <tiwake> heh
[21:35:00] <tiwake> the X axis was flat out shorting from the carbon buildup... I don't think that one has been serviced in a very long time
[21:35:33] <tiwake> the Y and Z were leaking power a little, got the Y taken apart and the bearings looked practically new
[21:35:53] <_methods> on the linear ways?
[21:35:57] <tiwake> yeah
[21:36:01] <_methods> well that's good
[21:36:07] <tiwake> linear bearings look good
[21:36:29] <tiwake> ballscrews are not flaking or seem to have any backlash really
[21:37:08] <tiwake> the bearings in the X axis servo was completely shot
[21:37:48] <_methods> that sux
[21:38:09] <_methods> the other good thing about haas is its usually pretty easy to find spare parts lol
[21:38:28] <tiwake> unless it was the 136th machine that was made
[21:38:34] <_methods> true
[21:38:56] <_methods> is haas out of jail yet?
[21:39:51] <tiwake> well, its not that bad... we replaced the air solenoid assembly... different part and had to do some hand waving to get it wired correctly
[21:40:07] <tiwake> but enh, its not too bad really
[21:40:16] <_methods> whatd you pay for that?
[21:40:31] <_methods> for the vf1 that is
[21:40:33] <tiwake> uh, I think it was $600?
[21:40:34] -!- Patang has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[21:40:48] <tiwake> for the port block and air solenoids
[21:41:04] <_methods> probably more than you paid for the vf1 lol
[21:41:57] -!- PetefromTn_ has quit [Quit: I'm Outta here!!]
[21:42:00] <tiwake> actually, not... it was a lot more, and because it was a startup company had to get a sharkloan to get it :-/
[21:42:27] <tiwake> I wasent around for that, if I was it would probably have been a different machine
[21:42:28] <tiwake> lol
[21:42:42] <_methods> yeah ouch
[21:43:14] <tiwake> its one of those leasing things at then at the end you buy it for $1
[21:43:23] <tiwake> s/at//
[21:43:41] <_methods> yeah

[21:45:06] <tiwake> if the computer part of it is bad then I will
[21:45:41] <_methods> so you guys are leasing a used machine?
[21:45:52] <_methods> or when they originally bought it was on lease?
[21:46:27] <tiwake> no, got the lease from some third party that likes sucking life out of startup businesses
[21:46:54] <_methods> oh wow so they leased a broken machine?
[21:47:36] <tiwake> this was threeish years ago... it was just a well used machine really
