[01:21:22] <zeeshan-laptop> pcw when is the mesa 7i77 and 5i25 going to be avail!
[01:21:23] <zeeshan-laptop> i needs
[01:22:34] <XXCoder> oh thats easy zeeshan-laptop
[01:22:39] <XXCoder> as soon as you dont need it
[01:23:55] <PetefromTn_> I got some ;)
[01:24:13] <Tom_itx> get spares.. then you'll have em
[01:25:40] <zeeshan-laptop> are yor names pcw
[01:25:45] <zeeshan-laptop> :-)
[01:25:52] <Tom_itx> was i talking to you?
[01:25:55] <zeeshan-laptop> haha
[01:26:00] <Tom_itx> ?
[01:26:04] <zeeshan-laptop> ?!!
[01:26:07] <PetefromTn_> well my name's Pete anyway
[01:26:13] <zeeshan-laptop> uncle pete
[01:26:20] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[01:26:48] <Tom_itx> uncle zeee has a better ring to it
[01:26:49] <zeeshan-laptop> uncle thomas
[01:27:09] <zeeshan-laptop> i got my kiln running
[01:27:15] <zeeshan-laptop> too bad im stuck @ the lab
[01:27:20] <zeeshan-laptop> i want to go home and melt some aluminum
[01:27:35] <Tom_itx> i think i'm gonna learn catia
[01:27:42] <zeeshan-laptop> do it!
[01:27:45] <Tom_itx> i am
[01:28:02] <Tom_itx> they don't offer SW
[01:28:06] <Tom_itx> i was kinda sad
[01:28:17] <zeeshan-laptop> why are you learning it anyway
[01:28:19] <zeeshan-laptop> for fun?
[01:28:24] <PetefromTn_> http://i.imgur.com/jFJYaAM.jpg ;)
[01:28:26] <Tom_itx> they use it and they use mastercam but don't have any specific class for either
[01:28:31] <Tom_itx> for fun
[01:28:41] <zeeshan-laptop> nice pete
[01:28:43] <Tom_itx> my kid is learning it
[01:28:56] <Tom_itx> he'll be a semester ahead of me
[01:29:50] <Tom_itx> i can say it's not as easy (user friendly) to use as SW
[01:30:24] <andypugh> I feel I should try SW, NX and Catia, just to know which I like best
[01:30:39] <Tom_itx> that's more or less what i'm doing
[01:30:49] <zeeshan-laptop> sw win
[01:30:56] <Tom_itx> i agree so far
[01:30:57] <zeeshan-laptop> i really like inventor
[01:31:01] <zeeshan-laptop> too bad its so unstable
[01:31:05] <zeeshan-laptop> makes it a big pos
[01:31:10] <zeeshan-laptop> and cant handle big assembly
[01:31:22] <Tom_itx> the course includes acad
[01:31:27] <zeeshan-laptop> ew
[01:31:31] <Tom_itx> i may drop out before i get to that
[01:31:34] <zeeshan-laptop> hahaha
[01:31:37] <zeeshan-laptop> good idea :P
[01:31:45] <zeeshan-laptop> no need to learn an ancient software
[01:31:53] <zeeshan-laptop> unless youre doing electrical schematics or something
[01:31:55] <andypugh> But, after 10 years of Inventor, 2 of them 8 hours a day paid, it’s hard to be objective
[01:32:13] <Tom_itx> they suggested i take it first and i told them to take a hike on that idea
[01:32:40] <Tom_itx> fusion 360 is an alternative
[01:32:50] <Tom_itx> never looked at inventor
[01:34:03] <zeeshan-laptop> andypugh: are you a ilogic master
[01:34:26] <zeeshan-laptop> my friend was complaining how solidworks
[01:34:30] <zeeshan-laptop> cant remember the history for dimensions
[01:34:43] <zeeshan-laptop> like in inventor if you type = 4+2+ 2/3
[01:34:45] <zeeshan-laptop> itll remember those
[01:34:51] <zeeshan-laptop> solidworks collapses them into one value
[01:35:09] <zeeshan-laptop> then im like try putting = in front of the numbers
[01:35:13] <zeeshan-laptop> and he was blown away
[01:35:26] <zeeshan-laptop> my point is, i think most cad software are similar, if not the same now
[01:35:38] <zeeshan-laptop> just need to learn em inside out
[01:35:42] <XXCoder> anyone ever used this http://www.symscape.com/product/professional
[01:35:49] <zeeshan-laptop> and do work arounds if needed
[01:38:20] <Tom_itx> they are all similar
[01:38:53] <Tom_itx> unless i haven't figured it out yet, you have to make a new sketch for every extrude you do though
[01:39:03] <Tom_itx> i like the contour select in sw for that
[01:39:33] <Tom_itx> ie if you have 2 pockets at different depths, that's 2 sketches
[01:40:00] <Tom_itx> it still shows it's unix roots
[01:41:37] <zeeshan-laptop> for complex extrudes, i will use combine
[01:41:42] <zeeshan-laptop> ill draw 2 bodies
[01:41:50] <zeeshan-laptop> and subtract em basically
[01:42:29] <zeeshan-laptop> usually if youve got multiple depths, it might be better to draw in side view
[01:42:34] <zeeshan-laptop> if you want the # of steps to be down
[01:44:50] <Tom_itx> it just seems like it takes longer in catia than sw to do the same thing
[01:45:11] <zeeshan-laptop> lack of exp
[01:45:12] <zeeshan-laptop> :P
[01:45:23] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure about that
[01:45:49] <Tom_itx> catia is more powerful
[01:46:27] <Tom_itx> from what i hear it has cam in it now
[01:52:33] <zeeshan-laptop> youre a cam
[01:52:39] -!- markvandenborre has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[01:52:45] <XXCoder> web cam for cam
[01:52:51] <zeeshan-laptop> :D
[01:52:58] <zeeshan-laptop> man im regretting not buying the pull studs i came across
[01:53:06] <zeeshan-laptop> now i gotta pay retail

[01:53:43] <Tom_itx> if you had a lathe you could make some
[01:54:33] <XXCoder> get a turret lathe heh
[01:54:36] <Tom_itx> it wouldn't be that hard would it?
[01:54:57] <zeeshan-laptop> i have a design for it
[01:55:08] <zeeshan-laptop> need some 8620 and a lathe :)
[01:55:12] <t12> whats the purpose of handedness in cutoff blades on a lathe
[01:55:32] <zeeshan-laptop> t12 some pieces you can approach from lh side only
[01:55:36] -!- [cube] [[cube]!~cube@204.237.2.9] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:55:42] <t12> i mean on insert style
[01:55:44] <Tom_itx> purpose built
[01:55:48] <zeeshan-laptop> oh
[01:55:50] <t12> like when you're plunging to part
[01:56:04] <zeeshan-laptop> the if its got an angle to the right
[01:56:14] <zeeshan-laptop> itll leave a nib on the left
[01:56:27] <t12> ahh its which side gets the nib
[01:56:46] <t12> thnx
[01:56:52] <Tom_itx> if you've got a sharp blade and on center it will be very minimal
[01:57:04] <zeeshan-laptop> im a sharp blade
[01:57:05] <t12> the kennametal catalog is sure huge

[01:57:48] <t12> i successfully made thinger
[01:57:52] <t12> threading worked
[01:57:55] <t12> sometimes things work i guess
[01:58:01] <zeeshan-laptop> looks nice
[01:58:15] <zeeshan-laptop> steel?
[01:58:26] <t12> yeah 12l14
[01:58:28] <t12> ezmode steel
[01:58:51] <Tom_itx> what are they for?
[01:58:52] <zeeshan-laptop> delicious lead
[01:59:05] <t12> messing around
[01:59:17] <t12> i found a silver snuffbox in london that was made 1890 ish
[01:59:20] <t12> and wanted to duplicate it
[01:59:28] <t12> i liked that it threaded to a nearly invisible seal
[01:59:48] <andypugh> zeeshan-laptop: (and anyone else) I have found that a real tip in Inventor is to decide if your new thing is part of your last thing or a new solid that you will combine later. Any part can contain many solids.
[02:00:37] <zeeshan-laptop> if new part is part of last thing
[02:00:42] <zeeshan-laptop> i will use derieve
[02:01:08] <zeeshan-laptop> we have variations of covers
[02:01:17] <zeeshan-laptop> i use it a lot there
[02:01:28] <andypugh> t12: every day I look at my tool release cylinder. I look at it and think “I wish I put a radius on that”
[02:02:05] <andypugh> zeeshan-laptop: Not quite the same thing, considr multi-solid parts
[02:02:14] <t12> yeah i gotta get together some radius tooling
[02:02:23] <zeeshan-laptop> so youre saying
[02:02:25] <zeeshan-laptop> a block of steel
[02:02:30] <zeeshan-laptop> and a hammer head inside it
[02:02:31] <andypugh> t12: Eh? This is a CNC world

[02:02:41] <t12> i'm a poser no cnc's at home
[02:02:42] <zeeshan-laptop> use combine to get the negative of the hammer into the block of steel
[02:02:53] <t12> maybe eventually
[02:02:56] <andypugh> I just select the radius tab
[02:03:11] <zeeshan-laptop> lol
[02:03:18] <t12> i think i'm gonna slate the taig for guilloche
[02:03:21] <t12> that will be the cnc
[02:04:55] <t12> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku7XRg5p3KU dang this guy diy'd it
[02:07:12] <andypugh> t12: Have you seen Dewey’s work?

[02:17:50] <XXCoder> just read about woodshop guy who got allegric to wood
[02:17:53] <XXCoder> dang
[02:18:09] <XXCoder> he had to buy and modify miliary grade gasmask so he could keep working on wood
[02:19:07] <XXCoder> http://steampunkworkshop.com/respirator.shtml/
[02:19:24] <PetefromTn_> that is not unusual at all. I worked with quite a few guys who were allergic to one particular wood or another. I am kinda allergic to white mahogany myself.
[02:22:06] <XXCoder> interesting
[02:26:17] <t12> happens in science too
[02:26:31] <t12> people who do work with chickens alot get alergic to eggs
[02:26:40] <t12> i sorta developed sensitivity to photographic fixer
[02:26:54] <XXCoder> interesting. I wonder why
[02:28:20] <andypugh> I scoff at allergies, until it’s me.
[02:29:39] <andypugh> But I got properly miserable in the same room as my sister’s super-cute rabbit
[02:29:58] <XXCoder> citrus allegy isnt fun lol
[02:30:08] <XXCoder> luckly in my case it is very minor one'
[02:30:14] <XXCoder> makes me have headaches
[02:33:15] <andypugh> And I know that eating prawns or kiwi fruit means horrible stomach pains and puking. Preferably the puking comes soon, ‘cos the stomach pains are horrible, but a miss-spent youth means that I am kind of happy to puke :-)

[10:41:31] <MikkoP> SketchUp hard? Oh, I've used many 3D modelling softwares and this is the most basic and simple by bar
[10:41:33] <MikkoP> by far
[10:41:54] <XXCoder> its very different to 3d modeling I used
[10:42:07] <XXCoder> took me quite a bit to get idea how freecad works
[10:42:18] <XXCoder> thankfully THAT has awesome tutorials.
[10:42:32] <MikkoP> Google is a great friend
[10:43:24] <MikkoP> I know how to use 3ds Max, SketchUp and Blender. When I model something really simple and really fast I use SketchUp, Blender for animations and 3ds Max for other more complicated ones
[10:44:32] <anomynous_> sketchup easy? It didnt look easy when i looked at some video. It looked quite hard actually. It's easier to create planes and stuff in solidworks ;D
[10:44:58] <anomynous_> its hard to imagine something would be easier than sw ;D
[10:48:14] <anomynous_> 3ds max and blender arent really cads, are they? They're more for artistic stuff
[10:48:50] <XXCoder> yeah
[10:48:55] <DaPeace> sketchup is very easy if you figured out how it works.. :-D
[10:49:53] <anomynous_> doesn't sketchup have limited resolution for machine parts?
[10:50:41] <anomynous_> in that it cant understand accurate enough measurements
[10:51:11] -!- technoid has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]

[10:56:59] <DaPeace> fusion 360 seems to be a cool solution at the moment. very modern.
[10:57:25] <anomynous_> kinda new. They just put hotkeys in it and operations search under s key

[10:57:38] <anomynous_> <- likes
[10:58:03] <DaPeace> me too. but didnt try to create something with it. only tried the interface and made some pockets
[10:58:19] <anomynous_> i havent used it much either
[10:58:34] <anomynous_> i think the idea is to keep it simple and make it extendable
[10:59:12] <DaPeace> and make it "freeware" for hobbyists..
[10:59:24] <anomynous_> well, hobbyists can write useful extensions ;)
[10:59:43] <DaPeace> thats great.. spending 3000EUR for a cam to mill with a 2000EUR-Mill is kinda overload :-D

[11:07:54] <XXCoder> tempted to go to college one season just to buy some stuff like mastercam
[11:08:05] <anomynous_> sprutcam seemed quite cheap and not bad either, but idk really
[11:08:26] <XXCoder> can do audit which is cheap

[12:35:24] <malcom2073> MikkoP: Looking good
[12:37:22] <MattoMatic> you haven't allowed for a radius on the tube. Is it flat enough to the edge to support the rails like that?
[12:38:06] <malcom2073> Yeah a cm or so on each corner is probably curved
[12:39:14] <MattoMatic> and you want the base to be on a flat part of the frame, with all the screws in, if you want to get the full benefit
[12:39:56] <MikkoP> Yea they have a little curve in the corners. I haven't checked what the radius is so I can't draw it correctly. This is just going to give me some idea how it's going to look.
[12:40:25] <MikkoP> MottoMatic: Yea, the base is now elevated just because it's easier to work with the base when there's some space between them
[12:41:22] <MattoMatic> try Mat<tabkey> . works in most clients :)
[12:42:13] <MikkoP> Typos heh :D Yea tab seems to work. I used a web based client earlier which didn't have that functionality. mIRC seems to have it
[12:43:19] <MattoMatic> the rails aren't infinitely stiff, so if the base is screwed to something that isn't straight and flat, the rails will conform to that shape, so perfectionists would grind under where the rails go

[12:44:36] <MattoMatic> for a first build, your main concern is just getting them straight and parallel enough not to bind
[12:46:13] <MattoMatic> this is way heavier than any machine I've actually built, so all I'm offering is theory I've learned mostly here
[12:49:22] <MikkoP> Yea, all true. That stuff is really heavy, about 11 kg/m
[12:50:39] <MikkoP> The vertical pillars are about 500 mm long and the horizontal is a little more. That's easily a good 17-18 kg
[12:52:35] <MattoMatic> more strength and stiffness is always good, but I wonder if you might be doing a bit overkill for a machine that size
[12:53:02] <MattoMatic> unless this is a proper mill for steel
[12:53:55] <MattoMatic> for woodwork etc, that construction would work nicely on a 8x4 full sheel routing machine
[12:54:20] <MattoMatic> full sheet
[12:56:35] * MattoMatic plywood brain
[12:58:03] <MikkoP> Yea it's probably an overkill. I'm just trying to use materials I already have
[12:58:51] <MattoMatic> I could use some tube like that myself right now. I've got an arc welder I'm itching to use
[12:59:23] <MattoMatic> and my real mill needs a spindle, but I'm making one out of plywood :p
[12:59:35] <MikkoP> :D

[13:49:49] <MikkoP> Yea that piece is thin. I was wondering what I could do to it.
[13:49:55] <XXCoder> I got a idea
[13:50:01] <XXCoder> change gantry to a frame

[17:59:33] <Magnifikus> Linux raspberrypi 4.1.13-rt15-v7+ #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Mon Nov 30 23:08:03 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
[17:59:37] <Jymmm> Magnifikus: Or are you runing machinekit?
[17:59:49] <Magnifikus> nope linuxcnc 1.8
[18:00:02] <Magnifikus> 2.8?
[18:00:05] <Magnifikus> dunno the git one
[18:00:25] <Magnifikus> machinekit seems to run smoother but it also looks like a really old code base
[18:01:12] <Magnifikus> servo thread time is 100-200uS so not the best
[18:04:51] <CaptHindsight> somebody had Linuxcnc working on an arm9 a few years ago https://code.google.com/p/miniemc2/source/browse/trunk/emc2-arm/?r=78
[18:11:38] <DaPeace> how does that work with machinekit. is there a distri for that? is it newer? i dont really find any good informations about that..
[18:13:15] <DaPeace> Magnifikus: what connection do you use to connect to your machine?
[18:13:49] <Magnifikus> spi -> fpga step generator -> tmc5130a driver with 2amp/256µStep
[18:14:07] <DaPeace> ahh some selfmade-hardware

[18:16:22] <Magnifikus> but need to fix some bugs still, get axis following errors sometime when running at >1600mm/min
[18:16:47] <Magnifikus> guess its the hal component bridge to spi
[18:17:00] <DaPeace> ok. what distribution do you use on the pi?
[18:17:12] <Magnifikus> stock rasbian 8.0 minimal
[18:17:18] <Magnifikus> + custom kernel with rt patch
[18:17:23] <Magnifikus> + linuxcnc latest git
[18:17:35] <Magnifikus> also tried latest machinekit but thats a real pain to compile

[18:18:01] <FAalbers_> Good Morning
[18:18:15] <Magnifikus> and shitty is, on startup linuxcnc greets you with realtime task bla
[18:18:18] <Magnifikus> hai
[18:20:47] <Magnifikus> will try xenomai next
[18:20:57] <Magnifikus> guess preempt rt is shit :)
[18:21:10] <DaPeace> so machinekit is a package like linuxcnc and you only need the rt-kernel running right?
[18:21:44] <DaPeace> and get it from the git , compile and then? configure it like linuxcnc? or is there anything special?
[18:24:03] <cncbasher> xenomai is the only one that works on arm
[18:24:04] <Magnifikus> its a real pain to compile, dependencies not in apt etc
[18:25:07] -!- erve has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:27:40] <DaPeace> do you see anything better in concept there?
[18:28:50] <cncbasher> machinkit is the only one to run on pi & beaglebone just about out the box
[18:29:09] <cncbasher> using xenomai
[18:29:42] <DaPeace> yeah ok. thats one side of the medal.. but its available for pcs too and i wondered a little time ago what makes it better or other than linuxcnc..
[18:30:30] <pcw_home> Preempt-RT on newer x86s is pretty close to RTAI in latency
[18:30:38] <cncbasher> it is linuxcnc , just built differently and specificly targeting arm etc
[18:30:43] <Magnifikus> yeap confirm that cncbasher :)
[18:31:03] <Magnifikus> it was a 6 hour job to compile that from stock raspbian
[18:31:26] <Magnifikus> +3 hours kernel compile + 2 hours compile with make -j1 the linuxcnc code
[18:31:38] <Magnifikus> cause -j2+ OOM :D
[18:31:59] <DaPeace> ok. so its more open to other platforms. thanks for the info. ive read about it but the homepage is not really good enough to describe why i should use it instead of linuxcnc :-D
[18:32:27] <cncbasher> what do you need to know ?
[18:32:53] <Magnifikus> howto export a normal machine to the android app :)
[18:33:01] <cncbasher> theirs a google group , where most of the talk of machinkit is
[18:34:05] <DaPeace> now i know what i need to know.. i dont like do subscribe to a list where i have to ask stupid questions.. i like to ask stupid questions here much more :-D
[18:34:05] <cncbasher> on android it's running as a server , with just the gui on android and the server on a beaglebone
[18:35:06] <cncbasher> you can still get stupid answers , their just formatted better

[18:37:40] <Jymmm> In respect to "SheetCam"... Does it just let you CUT sheetmetal, or also do things like bend it into various shapes?
[18:37:42] <Magnifikus> it sounds like you start a normal .ini with axis and export that to "apps"
[18:38:44] <cncbasher> sheetcam is only a cam for cutting , it's not a cad package
[18:39:29] <Jymmm> cncbasher: Is there something that lets you bend sheetmetal into various things?

[18:46:53] <cncbasher> linuxcnc could certianly do the machine side of things , but the cam package for it would be the problem at the moment , i would think
[18:47:05] <zeeshan|2> cncbasher: get linuxcnc-features working
[18:47:07] <zeeshan|2> it does a lot!
[18:47:10] <zeeshan|2> i cant get it working :{
[18:47:12] <cncbasher> i'll see what i can find out
[18:47:27] <cncbasher> linuxcnc-features works fine
[18:48:12] <cncbasher> have you the latest version ?
[18:48:30] <cncbasher> theirs a setup program that helps set it all up
[18:49:06] <zeeshan|2> it doesnt work because
[18:49:18] <zeeshan|2> it tries to take over any space that gladevcp usually resides
[18:49:24] <zeeshan|2> so if you have a custom panel
[18:49:26] <zeeshan|2> it interferes
[18:50:20] <cncbasher> yea i noticed that
[18:50:37] <cncbasher> although it was on the cards to be fixed at some stage
[18:53:14] <zeeshan|2> i got it working in a stand alone window

[21:03:00] <Swapper> Hi!, Anyone know if i can change the movment direction on an axis in the .ini file of linuxcnc ? its a servo system.
[21:03:49] <Swapper> or do i need to swap the encoder signal A B and ENCODER_SCALE = ?
[21:04:09] <JT-Shop> usually just change the scale sign
[21:04:22] <Swapper> ENCODER_SCALE = ?
[21:04:29] <JT-Shop> yea
[21:04:35] <Swapper> and that will not cause a runaway ?
[21:04:42] <Swapper> or should not
[21:05:08] <JT-Shop> well you do have to check the encoder is going the right direction
[21:05:15] <andypugh> I think you might need to change the pwm generator scale too.
[21:05:53] <andypugh> But you shouldn’t get a runaway if your following error limits are reasonable. (Well, you will, but it will be a short one)
[21:06:31] <Swapper> im not worried about the actual runaway i have e-stop, but im not getting clear on what values to change
[21:06:40] <Swapper> i found a thread about it but it where not clear.
[21:06:50] <Swapper> i have a mesa 7i77 so its analog out
[21:08:06] <Swapper> http://www.pastebucket.com/95944
[21:08:08] <andypugh> I can’t remember what the output scaling parameters are called on the 7i77
[21:08:13] <Swapper> theres a axis i need to swap
[21:08:28] <Swapper> if somone have the time to check quick
[21:08:56] <andypugh> Unfortunately the HAL can use the INI values any way it wants.
[21:09:33] <Roguish> swapper: encoder scale is an absolute. if the encoder is backwards, i have found it easier to reverses the signals (2 wires) from the encoder to whatever board you have.
[21:09:41] * JT-Shop goes back to chucking wood
[21:09:43] <andypugh> What is OUTPUT_SCALE used for in the HAL?
[21:10:06] <andypugh> Roguish: No, it really is easier to edit the iNI
[21:10:19] <Roguish> to each our own.
[21:10:25] <Swapper> setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.1.analogout1-scalemax [AXIS_1]OUTPUT_SCALE
[21:10:54] <Roguish> yeah, one can swap the signals in HAL.
[21:11:26] <andypugh> OK, set ENCODER_SCALE to +9830.4 and OUTPUT_SCALE to -1 and the axis should reverse.
[21:11:45] <Swapper> andypugh: ill try it, ty !
[21:14:58] <Swapper> andypugh: works!
[21:15:06] <Swapper> andypugh: thanx.
[21:15:38] <Swapper> Now i only need to relearn how the mill moves... :) Stupid me had the axies wrong from the beginging.
[21:16:13] <andypugh> My mill has two differet configs, one for the horizontal spindle and one for the vertical. Very confusing.
[21:16:53] <Swapper> Ahh guess that can be a bit of a mind bender

[21:49:19] <Oku71> would have to be a strong vacuum table.. this is more of a hobbyist workshop/budget
[21:49:45] <SpeedEvil> A good shopvac hits ~1/3 atm
[21:49:56] <SpeedEvil> That's 3 tons/m^2
[21:50:07] <Oku71> hmm well I have a festool vac that's managing the dust
[21:50:51] <Swapper> Are you doing part that go thrugh the sheet? Because that will break vacuum.
[21:50:57] <Swapper> if not taken in to account
[21:51:42] <Oku71> at the moment I've been attaching the carbon to a 1/8" disposable cedar wasteboard with some spray adhesive
[21:52:08] <Oku71> so I typically mill about 1 to 1.5mm thru the carbon into the wasteboard..
[21:52:40] <Oku71> err mixing units.. 3.1mm thick wasteboard.. :)
[21:52:43] <SpeedEvil> Swapper: that depends.
[21:52:56] <SpeedEvil> Swapper: you can have gaskets or other sealant round to not
[21:53:33] <Swapper> SpeedEvil: yes as i said, if not taken in to account.

[21:55:01] <Oku71> All of my carbon sheets are the same size; ~51cm x 51cm.. so I could probably build a vacuum box for this specific application

[21:55:14] <SpeedEvil> slightly elaborate fixture
[21:56:40] <Oku71> yeah just a bit! interesting video though
[21:57:02] <Swapper> SpeedEvil: Seen that, its real cool, hes doing his hown bearings for knives
[21:57:14] <SpeedEvil> yeah
[21:57:23] <Swapper> even machines the pocket for the balls with a ball endmill
[21:58:13] <Oku71> I need a bigger cutting area! 42x42cm isn't cutting it
[21:58:32] <SpeedEvil> It's a prime example of when stock stuff doesn't work for a design
[21:58:34] <Swapper> literaly then :)
[21:58:39] <Swapper> you cant cut bigger :)
[21:58:41] <Oku71> yerp :p
[21:58:43] <SpeedEvil> the easy way is to redesign, but...
[21:59:36] <Swapper> Anyone that have worked with ice fixtures ? i have collected parts to try a basics ice fixture plate but not got round to test it
[21:59:51] <SpeedEvil> ice fixtures?
[22:00:02] <SpeedEvil> hmm
[22:00:07] <SpeedEvil> I've used wax
[22:00:09] <Swapper> yea they exist
[22:00:28] <Swapper> they use them to cut real thin layers of no magnetic materials
[22:01:06] <SpeedEvil> is the part submerged in the ice?
[22:01:09] <Swapper> https://www.witteasia.com/products/vacuum/freeze-clamping-technology/ice-vice.php
[22:01:19] <Swapper> no a thin layer of water on a cold surfave
[22:01:21] <Swapper> surface
[22:01:42] <Swapper> like lickning on a pole when its -30c outside
[22:01:49] <SpeedEvil> ah
[22:02:39] <Swapper> but these work at -6 -10
[22:02:58] <Swapper> my go at it is to use watercooled peltiers
[22:03:16] <Swapper> since i do not know how they make -6 degrees with only compressed air
[22:03:37] <Swapper> some magic with compression/decompression of gasses prob
[22:04:09] <andypugh> Swapper: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pneumatic-cold-fraction-vortex-tube-kits/2911306/
[22:04:31] <SpeedEvil> Swapper: how large an area?
[22:04:41] <Oku71> tormach seems to sponsor quite a few youtube cnc channels
[22:04:47] <Swapper> SpeedEvil: on mine or the comersial ones?
[22:04:53] <SpeedEvil> Swapper: youre
[22:05:12] <Swapper> the test plate i made where 10x12 cm only
[22:06:07] <Swapper> but i dont see that beeing a limitation, when getting up to real large areas some significant power is required though
[22:06:16] <Swapper> Peltiers are quite power hungry
[22:06:41] <SpeedEvil> Or you can not. And get a small freezer, and simply fill it full of a tank of brine.
[22:07:41] <Swapper> Yea, i guess you only need the cooling to keep the plate from not thawing ither by the air in the room or by the cutting of the material
[22:08:01] <Swapper> But it can take some time to refixture a part if its a big plate
[22:08:13] <Swapper> Might need some reversal to thaw the plate
[22:09:01] <andypugh> Peltier devices only guarantee a temperature difference. I tried to make a milk carton fridge once, and it turned out to be good at making one side warm and the other side hot.
[22:09:53] <Swapper> ive used peltiers for overclocking CPUs and if they are watercooled they perform quite well
[22:10:39] <Swapper> if watercooled and there is no significant load in the "cold" side it can get quite cold.
[22:12:57] <Swapper> http://www.heatsink-guide.com/peltier.htm
[22:13:22] <Swapper> So when the cold block is cold you can get delta ts up to atleast -40c
[22:13:47] <andypugh> I would imagine that the milling machine table could be a decent heat-sink
[22:15:01] <Swapper> yea for shorter runs it might work, but it can get quite hot.
[22:15:33] <Swapper> my stack of 6 peltiers will draw about 500W
[22:18:37] <Swapper> gnite

[23:22:37] <SpeedEvil> yeah
[23:22:54] <CaptHindsight> insulators make the worst heat sinks
[23:23:35] <Loetmichel> CaptHindsight: glass isnt that bad for example
[23:23:47] <Loetmichel> so not all insulators are also bad heatsinks
[23:24:25] <SpeedEvil> I have wondered about pans with integrated heatpipes, which should exist, to make them isothermal
[23:24:26] <CaptHindsight> heat insulators, not electrical insulator or sound insulators

[23:35:43] -!- penpen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[23:35:48] <Loetmichel> ...for a reason ;)
[23:35:56] <Loetmichel> best pans
[23:36:18] <SpeedEvil> Loetmichel: yes, laminated SS/copper/SS for example
[23:36:43] <Loetmichel> i like the ones with soldered on copper plate on the bottom better
[23:37:06] <Loetmichel> the laminates tend to have a 1 atom layer thic copper plate in them
[23:37:10] <Loetmichel> not that effective
[23:37:16] <SpeedEvil> and yes, I mean proper.
[23:37:34] <Loetmichel> the ones where you can SEE the copper are usually at least 2mm thick
[23:38:37] <Loetmichel> (altho i had one that was only 0,2mm thick copper, only bent at the rim to look like 3mm...
[23:38:53] <Loetmichel> ... which i discovered when i forgot the pot on the burner...
[23:39:51] <Loetmichel> and when the spagettistaertet to burn i lifted the pot from the burner and have thrown it on the lawn.. (it waws raining)... then i noticed that the "copper foil" was still on the burner...
[23:40:03] <Loetmichel> mut have exeeded the solder melting temp ;)
