[16:26:12] <_methods> they use steel in cars?
[16:26:19] <_methods> i thought they were all plastic now
[16:26:41] <_methods> :)
[16:26:59] <CaptHindsight> _methods: the enclosure for the ECU blackbox is steel
[16:27:14] -!- pandeiro has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[16:27:20] <_methods> hehe
[16:27:26] <CaptHindsight> aluminum cools too quickly
[16:27:38] <Sync_> yes, all cars are made from plastic now.
[16:28:10] -!- DRGray has quit [Quit: DRGray]
[15:28:32] <CaptHindsight> where is my plastic self driving car?
[15:28:37] <Sync_> the problem is, ultra high strength steel is sensitive to the copper content
[15:28:59] <Sync_> it sits at the grain boundary and weakens the steel
[15:29:34] <CaptHindsight> is all cars were thermoplastic then they can be easily recycled
[15:29:57] <CaptHindsight> therefor i expect them all to be made mostly from thermosets
[15:30:32] <Sync_> they'd probably be made from fiber reinforced stuff
[15:30:45] <CaptHindsight> paper
[15:31:08] <CaptHindsight> so they can't be made to last
[15:31:19] <_methods> soy beans
[15:31:44] <CaptHindsight> tofu cars
[15:31:54] <_methods> pretty sure ford tried that at one point
[15:31:58] <_methods> or one of the car makers
[15:32:02] <_methods> can't remember who
[15:32:06] <CaptHindsight> soy based polymers
[15:32:09] <SpeedEvil> Sync_: interesting
[15:32:26] <SpeedEvil> Sync_: where is copper from? Just poorly cleaned steel or is it ever an intentional alloying element?
[15:32:31] <_methods> yeah it was ford

[15:33:08] <SpeedEvil> ah - so yes poor cleaning
[15:33:11] <Sync_> no
[15:33:19] <SpeedEvil> I guess mechanical methods don't sort it.
[15:33:20] <Sync_> nobody will strip the wiring looms from scrap cars
[15:33:25] <SpeedEvil> that's what I mean
[15:33:35] <Sync_> they are just getting pressed
[15:33:43] <CaptHindsight> change to steel wire for the electrical
[15:33:51] <SpeedEvil> yes, but then they get chipped don't they mostly

[16:01:19] <swarfer> how does one change the angles that the isometric view in Axis displays at? I want to build n XY-UV hot wire foam cutter but cannot get the display to scroll to an angle that makes sense
[16:01:38] <swarfer> also, how can I change th distance between the displayed XY and UV axes?
[16:02:16] <swarfer> googled all over an dhave not found a way..
[16:06:27] <_methods> i don't think axis will do that
[16:06:51] <skunkworks> axis does have a xy-uv mode...
[16:06:56] <_methods> ah
[16:07:03] <skunkworks> But I cannot help with the perspective...
[16:07:21] <_methods> oh yeah axis_foam
[16:07:28] <swarfer> yeah, i wa smessing with the axis foam sim setup to see what it can do
[16:08:00] <Roguish> a true isometric view has set view angles. check your graphics standards. there is also a 'trimetric' view, and other.
[16:08:35] <swarfer> but it still keeps an idea of a Z and will only rotate around Z but I cannot get Z to rotate to the left
[16:09:10] <swarfer> since I cannot scroll to the angles I want, I thought that maybe I can hack the 'isometric' button to set it for me
[16:09:21] <Roguish> you can always look deep into the source code. it's the pleasure of opensource software.
[16:09:41] <swarfer> hehe, yeah, was hoping for a setup option
[16:10:04] <Roguish> create one...... others might appreciate it too.
[16:10:30] <Roguish> couple of boxes to fill in desired angles. would be cool.
[16:10:46] <swarfer> either that or .ini file options for it
[16:11:03] <Roguish> exactly

[17:07:58] <DRGray> im having a special moment at the moment at cutting in the air
[17:08:27] <DRGray> i keep tool touch off in the air then touch off on the work bit, but then it keeps going down
[17:08:30] <DRGray> bizare
[17:11:51] <archivist> you said touch off twice in that sentence, did you mean that
[17:12:10] <DRGray> tool touch off
[17:12:13] <DRGray> and then touch off.
[17:12:17] <DRGray> i have two buttons
[17:12:27] <DRGray> i thought i had a tool touch off point
[17:12:34] <DRGray> then i touch the tool on the work piece
[17:14:17] <DRGray> erm ok i just did a touch off then did it in air
[17:14:24] <DRGray> but still dont seem to of cut it in layers
[17:14:32] <DRGray> just did one pass
[17:15:03] <DRGray> i really thought a zinfeed depth of 0.5 and a final mill depth of z would do 4 passes
[17:15:08] <DRGray> going down 0.5mm each time
[17:15:35] <archivist> is something thinking in inches
[17:16:00] <DRGray> i dont think so

[17:41:54] <Sync_> well, wire edm is more useful for general stuff than a sinker besides start holes
[17:42:25] <CaptHindsight> I'd use a sinker far more often
[17:43:24] <CaptHindsight> just like I rarely need a lathe, and others use them far more often than their mill
[17:43:36] <Sync_> it depends, for sinkers you have to machine a lot of custom tooling

[17:48:49] <CaptHindsight> I need a laser micrometer accurate to <1um for $100
[17:59:23] <RadicalDev> Anyone have suggestions on how to fix a hole that was drilled at an angle into some mild steel?
[17:59:59] <SpeedEvil> RadicalDev: hole-saw it out, and then weld the hole back in at the right angle.
[18:00:42] <SpeedEvil> More seriously - details - there are many solutions from welding the hole up and re-doing to drilling a bigger hole, and inserting a plug
[18:02:02] <RadicalDev> The hole was drilled into the crankshaft on an old VW diesel engine for the purpose of inserting pins to prevent the keyway from shearing off again
[18:02:48] <RadicalDev> it's about 3/8th deep and 0.191" diameter. I could probably enlarge it up to .202 without much trouble
[18:03:17] <SpeedEvil> If .202 will get you centred again - that's probably the easiest way
[18:03:35] <SpeedEvil> ^straight
[18:05:00] <_methods> weld it up
[18:05:51] <SpeedEvil> Possibly need to drill it out a bit more before welding it up
[18:06:07] <archivist> how old might be cast iron, dont weld
[18:06:20] <SpeedEvil> cast iron cranks?
[18:06:20] <_methods> he said mild steel
[18:06:21] <SpeedEvil> really?
[18:06:32] <SpeedEvil> Also - why is the keyway shearing
[18:06:44] <_methods> ^^
[18:06:46] <SpeedEvil> are you trying to boost it when it's not designed to?
[18:07:01] <FinboySlick> Please say it's because he installed 4 turbos and a NoS kit.
[18:07:12] <_methods> hahah
[18:07:20] <archivist> a deseasal !
[18:07:27] <RadicalDev> It's not my vehicle. My boss bought a suzuki sidekick with a diesel conversion kit. Somehow the keyway sheared.
[18:07:48] <_methods> the key or the keywa?
[18:07:51] <_methods> keyway?
[18:08:11] <archivist> front pulley?
[18:08:25] <RadicalDev> both. The key on the original hub was sheared completely off., The keyway is pretty messed up, too.
[18:08:34] <SpeedEvil> Which brings us back to 'why did the keyway shear' probably and thence to 'why did someone replace it with a hardened key'
[18:08:34] <Sync_> just get another crank
[18:08:46] <_methods> i'd weld up the shaft and recut the keyway
[18:08:53] <_methods> or just get another lol
[18:09:32] <FinboySlick> I'm picturing that sidekick towing a 30' slipstream trailer.
[18:09:36] -!- justanotheruser has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[18:10:07] <RadicalDev> I think the pulley is cast. It's extremely soft.
[18:10:30] <RadicalDev> and the chips are like powder
[18:10:59] <CaptHindsight> oh then just glue it back together :)
[18:11:05] <RadicalDev> lol
[18:11:29] <archivist> the pulley is probably a damper but faulty thus causing the keyway damage
[18:11:36] <FinboySlick> Re-make every part that breaks in iconel until you're down to the connecting rods.
[18:12:15] <CaptHindsight> replace the engine with a smallblock Chevy
[18:12:24] <FinboySlick> The Sidekick with the 300 000$ drivetrain.
[18:12:38] <_methods> wtf is the sidekick?
[18:12:41] <_methods> is that like the samurai
[18:12:48] <FinboySlick> Successor to the samurai.
[18:12:57] <_methods> ah
[18:13:20] <FinboySlick> Rounder, less prone to tip over, but much less fun offroad.
[18:13:38] <RadicalDev> I've never had a samurai, but the sidekick has been pretty fun offroad so far.
[18:13:43] <FinboySlick> The typical conversions I've seen were to put in a Suzuki Sprint engine in 'em.
[18:13:54] <CaptHindsight> thats a feature for easy undercarriage repairs in the field
[18:14:53] <FinboySlick> I've had many adventures in my friend's Samurai in my younger days.

[20:53:48] <Crom> pictures on yahoo group for sheldon lathes RobiSydney user
[20:56:37] <Simonious> so in solidworks I'm looking at a sketch and I want to linear pattern the dot that defines a hole from hole wizard, but when I select the point it is grabbing a line endpoint instead - is there a way to cycle to the point I want?
[20:58:10] <_methods> i think if you right click on it
[20:58:13] <_methods> and select other
[20:59:38] * Simonious shrug
[20:59:41] <Simonious> not seeing that
[20:59:54] <_methods> are you in the sketch for the hole wizard?
[21:00:00] <Simonious> yes
[21:00:21] <_methods> and you don't want to just do a linear pattern of the feature?
[21:00:49] <Simonious> I'm conflicted about it.. I'd like to do a feature pattern, because those are a lot easier to change later it seems
[21:01:05] <_methods> that would be the recommended way to do it
[21:01:11] <Simonious> so.. if I'm going to do it in the sketch I think I'll skip the pattern tool and set it up with relations
[21:01:23] <_methods> set up what?
[21:01:28] <Simonious> the pattern
[21:01:34] <_methods> oh
[21:01:43] <_methods> so you want to do the pattern as a sketch
[21:01:52] <Simonious> eh.. I'm learning, I don't know what I want.
[21:01:56] <_methods> if that's the case i wouldn't do the pattern in the hole wizard
[21:02:31] <Simonious> you make an interesting point
[21:02:40] <Simonious> I'll try that route and see if it shakes out better
[21:04:02] <_methods> i'd draw the sketch separate
[21:04:26] <_methods> then in hole wizard use the points from that sketch
[21:05:03] <_methods> for the hole wizard locations
[21:05:43] <_methods> well hole wizard "positions"
[21:05:49] <Simonious> I can draw points in a sketch?
[21:05:52] <_methods> yes
[21:06:11] <_methods> it is under sketch entities
[21:06:24] <_methods> and it should be just a little point symbol in your toolbar

[23:17:46] <DRGray> i’ll try generating some new files with it

[23:18:10] <membiblio> Have you make dxf2gcode run? It is just a python script.
[23:18:14] <DRGray> name your layers
[23:18:21] <DRGray> yeah ive got it running

[23:18:48] <DRGray> i was having problems getting to to cut then cut deeper
[23:19:15] <membiblio> Ok - it seems to do that for me naturally - I never asked it to do it.
[23:19:32] <DRGray> i thought if if put MILL: 1 Md: 2 Sd: 0.5 FeedXY: 400 FeedZ: 200
[23:19:46] <DRGray> it would mill 2mm deep in .5mm increments
[23:20:00] <DRGray> it just did it in one pass though
