[00:30:32] <Simonious> so I'm in solidworks and I've sketched a shape on a surface, now I want to do a tiny v-groove that follows that line - how do I do this?
[00:31:12] <Simonious> I thought cut extrude, w/ think feature and draft would do it..
[00:31:16] <Simonious> *thin feature
[00:31:23] <DaViruz> check out the tutorials is my suggestion, there are tutorials for almost everything
[00:31:40] <Simonious> that's true, but it's dang hard to find the one to do a particular thing
[00:32:12] <evil_ren> swept cut
[00:32:13] <_methods> you'll probably have to do 2 sketches then do a swept cut
[00:32:35] <evil_ren> you feed it a profile to cut and a path to cut along
[00:33:06] <Simonious> I'll poke at that, seems like there should be a bettery way - like the one I described!
[00:33:28] <evil_ren> shrug, you described swept cut
[00:33:37] <_methods> there are probably about 10 diff ways to do what you want
[00:33:44] <Simonious> I described cut extrude with think feature and draft selected
[00:33:51] <evil_ren> it cuts a shape along a path (which can be a line)
[00:34:12] <evil_ren> the other way would be to create a plane perpendicular to the line, and do a regular extruded cut
[00:34:17] <Simonious> bad fingers - think -> thin (AGAIN)
[00:34:22] -!- tris [tris!~tristan@camel.ethereal.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:34:47] <Simonious> lets say.. the line is complex and intersects itself here and there
[00:34:57] <evil_ren> im not sure it cares
[00:35:03] <DaViruz> that's not a problem
[00:35:24] <DaViruz> the "cutter profile" can even be a 3d shape if you wish
[00:35:43] <evil_ren> like, maybe it could get confused and chain link parts of the line incorrectly, but its usually pretty sane about that kind of stuff
[00:36:17] <Simonious> thanks guys, I'll poke it some more
[00:36:37] <evil_ren> theres also options to add guide paths to the initial path
[00:36:58] <evil_ren> so you can like, twist around the path or whatever, or follow some odd surface shape
[00:37:21] <Simonious> evil_ren: lets not confuse the new guy :P
[00:37:25] <evil_ren> kk
[00:37:45] <evil_ren> he mentioned surface tho so i kind of figured something curved
[00:38:06] <Simonious> not the surface - the lines are just complex on the surface
[00:39:34] <evil_ren> yeah if youre just learning this, creating a reference plane perpendicular to your path to draw the profile might be the most difficult part, but thats some pretty useful stuff to learn
[00:40:02] <Simonious> does it have to 'touch' the path?
[00:40:28] <evil_ren> yes
[00:40:40] -!- AR_ [AR_!~AR@24.238.81.234.res-cmts.sth2.ptd.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:40:56] <Simonious> seems tough to stick a drawing inside a solid like that
[00:42:05] <evil_ren> yeah, so the trick is creating a plane that is coincident with the endpoint of a path line, and perpendicular to the path line
[00:42:57] <evil_ren> if you click reference geometry -> planes, it pops up a dialog with different ways to reference the plane, so you pick the endpoint and the line and just tell it how you want to relate
[00:43:57] <evil_ren> then you do a sketch on that plane that touches the endpoint
[00:44:06] <Simonious> I think i could make that work, but I'm still stuck in a mental loop because I'm almost sure that with text I can simply etch it into a surface with a square or v profile - this is what I want to do here, it just doesn't happen to be text.
[00:46:33] <DaViruz> it's probably possible to add parallel lines to your line to make a shape, and extrude-cut that with draft, but that seems like rather more work
[00:50:50] <enleth> the dumb approach would be to extrude down to the correct depth and width equal to twice the depth
[00:50:58] <enleth> then bevel the inner corners out
[00:51:52] <Simonious> even that sounds like a better operation than drawing a profile - again especially considering that letters have an etch option, why the heck don't regular sketches?!
[00:52:13] <enleth> completely backwards compared to actual manufacturing but should work in any 3D CAD
[00:53:23] <enleth> BTW, I've found a new hobby: find tasty shot mix recipes, adjust amounts to turn a shot into a cocktail, get drunk watching machining videos.

[01:35:38] <Crom> obamacare GRRRRARGH!!!
[01:39:10] <malcom2073> Yeah :/
[01:40:30] <Crom> $2600 penalty for not having medical insurance for my wife
[01:40:41] <malcom2073> But hey, tons of people are getting shit for free now, yay?
[01:43:51] <cradek> that can't be right unless you guys made $1,300,000 last year: https://www.healthcare.gov/fees/fee-for-not-being-covered/
[01:44:53] <cradek> although I don't quite understand the ORs
[01:44:54] -!- PetefromTn_ has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[01:48:13] <Crom> it was for 2 people for 8 month and 1 for 4 month
[01:51:40] <cradek> still, you two must make a LOT of money for it to be that high? like $800,000?
[01:51:57] <cradek> I just don't see how it can be that high otherwise. are you sure you calculated right?
[01:52:56] <roycroft> the worst thing you can do to a hater is fact check the reason for the hate :)
[01:54:02] * cradek shrugs
[01:54:03] <cradek> bbl
[01:54:38] <roycroft> i do agree that obamacare sucks though
[01:54:54] <roycroft> we should have a medicare option as well
[01:55:16] <roycroft> it won't be too long before i'm eligible for medicare as it exists, fortunatrely
[01:55:19] <roycroft> fortunately
[01:55:29] <Crom> penelties could be for other things as well... 4900 refund dwindled to $494
[01:55:36] <roycroft> but everyone should be eligible
[01:55:59] <roycroft> the average penalty for not having insurance this year is just over $400
[01:56:03] <roycroft> i heard that on npr today
[01:56:07] <roycroft> it was about $250 last year
[01:56:42] <roycroft> iirc the max penalty, after it's ramped up over several years, will average around $750
[01:57:40] -!- Loetmichel2 [Loetmichel2!~cylly@p54B10A15.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:57:48] <cradek> $750 is really cheap insurance insurance (in exchange for paying that penalty, if you need to get insurance later, you can have it to cover your now-preexisting condition)
[01:58:21] -!- almostworking has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[01:58:27] <cradek> but yeah we need medicare for all instead of this center-right republican plan
[01:58:43] <Crom> well the penalty is still less than what coverag would be
[01:58:49] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[01:59:04] <Crom> I'm covered via the VA
[01:59:27] <cradek> ah, the socialist VA program :-)
[01:59:49] <cradek> sorry, now I'm trolling
[02:00:15] <Crom> <-- disabled veteran
[02:00:32] <roycroft> the va program would work fine if it were funded
[02:00:50] -!- almostworking [almostworking!~almostwor@unaffiliated/almostworking] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:01:29] <Crom> basturds only gave me 30% but the appeals court judge spanked them bit.. So I should be getting 70 to 100% hopefully closer to 100 than 70
[02:01:50] <SpeedEvil> yay
[02:02:23] <roycroft> but the right wing concept of "supporting" the military is to spend hundreds of billions on materiel, enriching the military industrial complex, recruit hundreds of thousands of generally low income volunteers to go fight contrived wars for them, then toss them out on the street when they come home
[02:02:27] <cradek> cool, I hope you and all disabled folks get good coverage in the coming years.
[02:03:35] <roycroft> the va works great once you can get in the system
[02:03:45] <roycroft> but it's so underfunded that it's almost impossible to get into the system

[02:06:11] <roycroft> tammy duckworth is a double amputee - wounded in combat
[02:06:16] <roycroft> she lost both her legs
[02:06:27] <roycroft> that's how the right feel about vets
[02:07:26] <cradek> that must be someone's idea of a joke?
[02:07:36] <roycroft> that was an official rnc tweet
[02:07:44] <roycroft> they retracted it shortly thereafter
[02:07:59] <cradek> that's amazing
[02:08:37] <Crom> well I'm uing the Choice system as well... Today I had an appointment at a local PhysTherapy place going there next 6 weeks
[02:08:53] <roycroft> unfortunately people take screen shots of those stupid things before they disappear
[02:09:01] <roycroft> this is going to be teh donald's problem
[02:09:02] <roycroft> it already is
[02:09:05] <roycroft> he says shit
[02:09:09] <roycroft> he said a lot of shit in the past
[02:09:14] <roycroft> and now he denies having said it
[02:09:19] <roycroft> but then the video shows up
[02:09:51] <roycroft> his recourse is to threaten to "pass a law" allowing him to sue anyone who says anything bad about him when he's president
[02:09:57] <roycroft> including reporters
[02:10:10] <roycroft> but i'm sure he's going to say he never said that :)
[02:10:28] <cradek> talking about what he'd do as president is fairly moot
[02:11:01] <roycroft> sadly i'm not so sure about that
[02:11:29] * roycroft notes that the day after super tuesday google searches on "how do i move to canada" went up over 1000%
[02:12:34] <roycroft> i think it's more likely that he would be impeached within his first year in office should he be elected than he would be elected in the first place
[02:12:52] <roycroft> but his election is not out of the realm of possibility by any means

[03:31:01] <Jymmm> in?
[03:31:03] <pink_vampire> but you make my ocd happy :)
[03:31:18] <PetefromTn_> Hey folks
[03:31:26] <pink_vampire> hi PetefromTn_
[03:31:38] <PetefromTn_> Hey pink
[03:31:48] <PetefromTn_> been another crazy day here ;)
[03:32:20] <pink_vampire> I need to make a wadge
[03:33:09] <PetefromTn_> I spent the afternoon with my wife out on the cincinatti rerouting a lot of the wiring that goes into the top of the electronics cabinet
[03:33:34] <jdh> your wife does wiring?
[03:33:37] <jdh> cool!
[03:34:23] <PetefromTn_> well she tries to help me with it hehe
[03:34:45] <PetefromTn_> I think I have a solution here for relocating that cabinet without breaking or stretching any wires LOL
[03:35:30] <PetefromTn_> Tomorrow I have to go to the metal supplier to pickup some of the heaviest angle bar they have to make a new ledge for it to sit on.
[03:35:44] <Jymmm> jdh: You should see when she rewires an AED =)
[03:36:03] <PetefromTn_> I also figured out that I can probably stick a large 6" square tube in between the cabinet and the existing mount instead of having to cut and fab up a new one....
[03:37:17] <PetefromTn_> hopefully with any luck I can get the new stuff drilled and mounted tomorrow afternoon and be moving the cabinet finally by the weekend

[03:37:30] <pink_vampire> PetefromTn_: sweeeeet
[03:37:43] <PetefromTn_> I made a big move today tho
[03:38:00] <PetefromTn_> I went ahead and scheduled the pickup of both machines for tuesday of next week
[03:38:01] -!- BitEvil [BitEvil!~quassel@tor/regular/SpeedEvil] has joined #linuxcnc
[03:38:14] <jdh> where are you putting them down there?
[03:38:24] <PetefromTn_> I also managed to post and sell my wife's Isuzu Trooper limited today
[03:38:48] <PetefromTn_> they will be going into a storage unit until we can get our new home purchase finalized
[03:39:15] <PetefromTn_> once I am finished with the Cincinatti modification the entire machine will be able to be pushed under a standard garage door
[03:39:16] -!- skunksleep has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[03:39:22] <pink_vampire> http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php
[03:39:37] <PetefromTn_> I figured it out today and once it is sitting on the 4x6 skids
[03:39:42] <PetefromTn_> and I made the mods
[03:39:50] <pink_vampire> most of the stuff there without CNC!!
[03:40:10] <PetefromTn_> the overall height at the highest point will be about 80 1/2 inches tall

[03:41:09] <PetefromTn_> so the whole package will be 6 and a half foot wide, 7 foot long, and under 7 foot tall...
[03:41:48] <PetefromTn_> not bad for a toolchanger equipped VMC with flood coolant enclosure and 20x20x20 travels I think :D
[03:42:24] <pink_vampire> yeah.. sound not bad at all.
[03:43:25] <pink_vampire> I need to move the electronics box of the machine.
[03:43:48] <PetefromTn_> I bought a bunch of skids today at home depot and got them slash cut etc for the Cinci and the CNC lathe...
[03:44:04] <PetefromTn_> I am QUICKLY running out of time to do all of this stuff

[03:45:24] <PetefromTn_> Hows this for a schedule...
[03:45:46] <PetefromTn_> guy is gonna be here with the trailer on tuesday sometime most likely in the evening
[03:45:59] <PetefromTn_> then we will load up both machines, tarp the hell out of them
[03:46:03] <PetefromTn_> strap them down
[03:46:15] <PetefromTn_> then he will be going to a motel to sleep
[03:46:47] <PetefromTn_> while that is happening I will be loading my van with as much of my crap that I can fit and still be able to get inside it
[03:47:05] <PetefromTn_> both of us will be leaving wednesday morning for Florida
[03:47:18] <PetefromTn_> I will probably beat him there of course
[03:47:30] <PetefromTn_> then I will stay the night with family down there
[03:47:39] <hatch789> pcw are you still online?
[03:47:41] <PetefromTn_> he will probably be in a hotel in the city
[03:47:49] <PetefromTn_> wake up in the morning
[03:47:51] <hatch789> I just got back and saw your comments
[03:48:04] <PetefromTn_> Unload the machines into the storage unit
[03:48:15] <PetefromTn_> then I gotta get back on the road back here
[03:48:29] <PetefromTn_> hopefully get here by thursday evening
[03:48:41] <PetefromTn_> then pick up the Uhaul
[03:48:49] <hatch789> you said with a 7i49 board I can't power it from USB. -The way it was being powered before I tried USB. I had the Computer PSU feeding the 7i43-u-4 board. Then via ribbon cables I was feeding a 7i49 and a 7i42T board
[03:48:52] <PetefromTn_> load all of my worldly belongings
[03:49:11] <PetefromTn_> close on my house and shut off all the utilities
[03:49:21] <hatch789> those 2 (add-on) boards do not have direct power, they get their power from the 7i43 board.
[03:49:25] <PetefromTn_> then head BACK to Florida with my family and the Uhaul
[03:49:27] <pink_vampire> just be careful on your back
[03:49:44] <PetefromTn_> talk about a freaking crazy week
[03:50:09] <PetefromTn_> drive the distance to florida three times in about as many days....UGGGHHHHH
[03:50:35] <pink_vampire> where are you now?
[03:50:42] <PetefromTn_> East Tennessee
[03:51:44] <PetefromTn_> one good thing is since we sold my wife's Trooper that we won't really need in Florida we will not have to rent a car trailer and haul it behind the Uhaul
[03:51:54] <PetefromTn_> it will just be my van and the Uhaul
[03:52:12] <pink_vampire> how are you going to move the machine?
[03:52:58] <PetefromTn_> I am paying a company to pickup and drop them off using a very heavy duty hydraulic dovetail trailer and diesel truck
[03:53:17] <PetefromTn_> The CNC lathe is no problem I could and have easily moved it myself
[03:53:19] <Jymmm> Note the "ingredients"... http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90302060/#/60284213
[03:53:37] <PetefromTn_> the Cincinatti is another story altogether....it is way too heavy to do it myself
[03:53:50] <Jymmm> PetefromTn_: (wuss)
[03:53:54] <pink_vampire> how much does something like that cost?
[03:54:10] <PetefromTn_> Jymmm why thank you
[03:54:17] <PetefromTn_> pink_vampire not bad really
[03:54:39] <pink_vampire> ball park?
[03:54:39] <PetefromTn_> I am paying him $1650 door to door but I will be helping him with loading and unloading
[03:54:58] <pink_vampire> not bad at all..
[03:55:20] <PetefromTn_> no I could recoup that with a single job on the machine most likely
[03:55:21] <pink_vampire> what is the total weight of the machine?
[03:55:39] <PetefromTn_> the Cincinatti Arrow 500 weighs about 7k lbs
[03:55:54] <PetefromTn_> and the Standard Modern CNC lathe weighs around 3500 lbs
[03:56:22] <Tom_itx> a beast with a haircut
[03:56:24] <PetefromTn_> he is moving both machines for me
[03:56:48] <pink_vampire> mine it's about 500lbs
[03:57:47] <pink_vampire> my bf took it apart and put it in his car right there in grizzly loading dock.
[03:58:16] <PetefromTn_> I wish I could just take this apart and move it I probably would
[03:58:45] <pink_vampire> with the right saw..
[03:58:58] <PetefromTn_> no it actually can be all unbolted
[03:59:08] <PetefromTn_> but even the smaller parts are stupid heavy ;)
[03:59:17] <pink_vampire> granit?
[03:59:45] <PetefromTn_> no actually the CIncinatti is a weldment with the exception of the millhead casting
[04:00:09] -!- LikeVinyl has quit [Quit: LikeVinyl]

[04:02:58] <pink_vampire> I don't like that, it's make too much flex and limit the y axis
[04:07:36] -!- hatch789 has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[04:10:44] <pink_vampire> what happen to hoss?
[04:16:13] <os1r1s> pink_vampire Good question
[04:16:25] <pink_vampire> his is gone
[04:20:58] <pink_vampire> why everyone took the quill DRO out of the machine the leave large ugly hole in the spindle??
[04:21:51] <Sync_> pink_vampire: the 4 screws are not causing any flex
[04:22:16] <pink_vampire> but if it was casting
[04:22:17] <Sync_> the bad surface contact and the open box do
[04:25:08] <Sync_> if it was a solid casting it would be stiffer, but not by an incredible amount
[04:25:41] <pink_vampire> I'm thinking maybe to make the extended Y axis mod
[04:26:31] <Sync_> just shim it into alignment and fill the void with DHW
[04:27:40] <pink_vampire> but I'm wondering if it will make it more flex
[04:27:55] <Sync_> if you extend the y?
[04:28:01] <pink_vampire> yes
[04:28:19] <Sync_> no, but it will try to wobble
[04:28:49] <pink_vampire> it's like a block of metal that you add between the base and the Z axis
[04:31:03] <Sync_> well, if you ensure proper surface contact the influence should be minimal
[04:31:14] <Sync_> it will be worse, but it should not matter
[04:33:12] <pink_vampire> anyway it's not something that I'm going to do soon..
[04:34:41] <Sync_> the best thing you can do is to replace the screws with nice ones and good washers
[04:34:52] <Sync_> and get rid of all the paint below them

[04:36:35] <pink_vampire> I don't want to damage the third in the cast iron base

[04:36:58] <Sync_> they could be black cheese
[04:41:59] <pink_vampire> if it's work don't fix it

[04:47:38] <Sync_> and you will probably need to align your Z axis anyway

[10:49:13] <pink_vampire> I'm thinking about this one

[10:49:51] <pink_vampire> and the previous link is the data sheet for it
[10:50:39] <pink_vampire> the groove diameter is 0.094" ?

[11:12:59] <DRGray> morning
[11:13:17] <DRGray> i just cut a circle i had set its diameter to 27mm the tool diameter was 3mm
[11:13:25] <DRGray> when cut it was 30mm
[11:13:36] <DRGray> i guess i need some sort of tool compensation?
[11:15:47] <archivist> yes
[11:16:14] <archivist> linuxcnc has it or maybe the cam program
[11:16:21] <XXCoder> definitely yes. I guess tool diameter in linuxcnc was set to 0?
[11:17:03] <archivist> you also have to know if cutting inside or outside the line
[11:17:38] <XXCoder> that'd make difference indeed

[13:03:24] <miss0r|shop> comming up short, are we?
[13:03:46] <archivist> torque is a force at a radius
[13:04:11] <pink_vampire> I know..
[13:05:18] <pink_vampire> you apply the force not the radius
[13:19:31] <pink_vampire> so accordion to the calculations and friction and all that I need about 1N/m
[13:19:54] <pink_vampire> to be on the safe side I want to go with 2N/m DC motor.
[13:21:34] <pink_vampire> other then ebay is there a place to get not expensive geared DC motor?
[13:22:38] <CaptHindsight> define expensive and what speed range, power and ratio
[13:24:02] <pink_vampire> 50-120 RPM will be fine.
[13:25:01] <CaptHindsight> maybe hobbyking
[13:25:06] <pink_vampire> and I can provide 5V, 12V, 72V
[13:25:29] <pink_vampire> backlash is not important.
[13:25:43] <CaptHindsight> anything precision and industrial will not be inexpensive
[13:25:59] <CaptHindsight> you might get lucky with a source in China
[13:26:11] <CaptHindsight> a hobby motor might work
[13:27:04] <pink_vampire> but on ebay I see aloooot of motors but I can't see any specification about torque
[13:28:13] <pink_vampire> http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-24V-50mA-30RPM-8-6Kg-cm-High-Torque-Permanent-Magnetic-Gear-Reduction-Motor-/161504174247?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255

[13:30:40] <pink_vampire> I want to avoid anther power supply
[13:30:54] <pink_vampire> but I need them in 2N/m
[13:31:02] <CaptHindsight> time to learn some google-fu grasshopper
[13:31:31] <pink_vampire> 2N/m or 300 oz/in
[13:31:46] <pink_vampire> CaptHindsight: what is that?!@?
[13:32:20] <CaptHindsight> just as a suggestion, try posting all the required specs for something vs spoon feeding the channel
[13:32:22] <gregcnc> I've hone my google-fu over the years it never fails now a days
[13:33:03] <CaptHindsight> and most likely as a google search you will find all the heavenly glory
[13:34:47] <pink_vampire> http://i.imgur.com/hij9DZi.jpg
[13:34:48] <gregcnc> if you know enough about the motor you can calculate what it will do at lower voltage. typically you are just looking at a proportional reduction in speed
[13:35:08] <gregcnc> if resistance is high enough though, you may not get the torque you want
[13:35:42] <CaptHindsight> ^^ what I'd rather do than write code

[14:42:30] <gregcnc> unless you shut down the machine
[14:42:42] <DRGray> i think its the code dxf2gcode genereates
[14:42:45] <DRGray> im looking at the gcode now
[14:42:48] <OdinYggd> On a mass produced CNC, home location tells the machine where it is. Older machines usually had to revisit the home location every time they powered on.
[14:42:49] <DRGray> it use g90
[14:42:53] <DRGray> abosolute mode
[14:43:02] <OdinYggd> G54 etc then specifies a position relative to machine home that is the part 0
[14:43:19] <R2E4> 7i92 +7i74 + 5 7i84s's
[14:43:34] <R2E4> plus a 7i77
[14:43:44] <DRGray> ok so i touch of and set it to g54
[14:44:01] <pink_vampire> yeah, it's not "the home" but you reset the axis.
[14:44:05] <DRGray> thing is in the gcode it enerates it does moves like g0 x 15.136
[14:44:12] <DRGray> will that take g54 into account
[14:44:13] <DRGray> ?
[14:44:46] <gregcnc> G54 is the work offset it sets the origin for any code following
[14:45:26] <DRGray> ok so i think i just need to call g54 before my code
[14:45:31] <OdinYggd> usually I use an edgefinder to pick up a corner of the part, enter this coordinate into G54 in the contorl. When the program starts and G54 executes, it sets G54 as part zero and executes the rest of the program relative to that part zero unless other gcodes are used to change it
[14:45:32] <_methods> understanding cutter compensation and work coordinate offset systems are typically the most difficult concepts to grasp in cnc machining
[14:45:43] <OdinYggd> Usually your part offset is in the first few lines of code
[14:45:49] <DRGray> ok well i thin i get cutter comp
[14:45:56] <Simonious> I've kinda got work coordinate offset, what is cutter compensation?
[14:46:25] <OdinYggd> It allows the CNC to offset the tool to compensate for its dimensions
[14:46:42] <OdinYggd> that way the program specifies the boundaries of the part, and the CNC calculates the actual path the tool takes to produce it
[14:46:44] <Simonious> oh.. right
[14:46:50] <R2E4> Another question: Do I need to write code if my Y axis needs to move during a toolchange?
[14:46:51] <OdinYggd> Like so if the tool breaks you can change it without needing to rewrite the whole program
[14:46:56] <pink_vampire> you have 2 sets of coordinates in the cnc controller the actual position, and the relative position. you need to set the relative to your stating position of the part.
[14:47:00] <Simonious> that one in particular is why CNCing is harder than 3d printing IMO
[14:47:20] <OdinYggd> Its confusing. I've made parts without tool comp as well.
[14:47:35] <OdinYggd> Had a situation where the tool comp would cause a crash, so I rewrote the program to specify tool centerline and ran it without offset
[14:47:44] <pcw_home> 5 7I84s might be overkill (thats 240 I/O, 160 inputs and 80 outputs)
[14:47:54] <OdinYggd> But when running without tool comp, if the tool breaks or wears down you have to rewrite the program to compensate
[14:47:55] <gregcnc> there are many ways to use work offsets and radius comp
[14:48:06] <R2E4> pcw: I need the outputs
[14:48:17] <pcw_home> well 288 I/O including whats on the 7I77
[14:48:53] <_methods> work coordinate offsets basically let you set multiple "homes" based on where your work piece is located
[14:48:58] <R2E4> I need 87 outputs
[14:49:06] <pcw_home> 2 7I71s/ 7I72s will give you 96 outputs
[14:49:28] <_methods> so if you had 4 vises on your table you could set 1 vise as g54 another as g55 etc, etc
[14:49:56] <lair82> Hey pcw_home, was waiting for you to show up, still having RT faults with my 7i80 that you have been helping on. I just looked, and the 7i80.0.read.tmax value said 8,438,476
[14:50:30] <R2E4> yeah, thats what IO'm talking about...... Is there a card with just inputs?

[14:51:56] <DRGray> cant change the cordinate system with cutter comenpsation on?
[14:52:02] <R2E4> They will work with the 7i74 connected to 7i92?
[14:52:27] <_methods> sure you can change WCS (work coordinate system) at any time
[14:52:38] <lair82> R2E4, all of my machines are around 50-60 inputs and between 30-70 outputs, and all of them are setup with either a 5i23 or 7i80, a 7i44, a 7i49, and multiples of the 7i70's and 7i71's, and works great, and makes for a nice clean install.
[14:53:06] <DRGray> it keeps throughing that error up

[14:53:58] <enleth> R2E4: you need that many for this Bridgeport?
[14:54:00] <DRGray> It is an error if one of these G-codes is used while cutter radius compensation is on.
[14:54:02] <gregcnc> It is an error if:
[14:54:02] <gregcnc> selecting a coordinate system is used while cutter compensation is on.

[14:54:40] <pcw_home> All sserial devices are pretty much the same, theres no card specific code in the driver so if one is supported, all are supported
[14:54:53] <DRGray> ok so i guess i have to turn compensation off and just make my cut - radius
[14:54:58] <_methods> just cancel cutter comp before you change WCS then
[14:55:22] <DRGray> yes i just need to make sure i take the radius of the end mill into account in my design?

[14:57:39] <pcw_home> If this is the H97 MB I would make sure that all power management stuff/fan control is off in the BIOS
[14:57:40] <pcw_home> and beware of add ons like WIFI some brands are troublesome
[14:57:45] <enleth> I'm not really into routers/plotters but I've never seen one configured like that, with both X and Y overhanging
[14:57:45] <R2E4> enleth, has three toolchange spindles, and 31 drill, with 4 horizontal boring
[14:57:57] <R2E4> all on the Z axis
[14:58:45] <enleth> R2E4: that's a furniture making machine, right?
[14:59:15] <R2E4> It was designed for cabinet making/furniture making
[15:00:08] <R2E4> I built a 4X4 router, but need 4X10 capability......
[15:00:21] <R2E4> and speed
[15:00:38] <enleth> ok, this spindle configuration explains the need for so many outputs
[15:01:30] <R2E4> vacuum and pneumatic takes up 40I/O
[15:02:28] <lair82> I've already went through the bios, everything is off, you gave me the most current kernel a month or so ago, and I built that, the wifi card is a rosewill rnx-n150pce, which was the atheros chipset I believe.
[15:03:00] <lair82> I guess I pull the wifi card, and see how it runs???
[15:04:22] <DRGray> ah i think ive been an idiot
[15:04:36] <DRGray> hah i think you cant have cutter comp turned on.. but that wasnt my issue
[15:04:39] <DRGray> just as side issue
[15:05:30] <DRGray> had got some of my diemensions wrog
[15:05:32] <DRGray> wrong
[15:06:24] <lair82> pcw_home does it matter if I use a shielded patch cable between the MB and the 7i80, I made a new one, out of plain cat5, as short as possible, 14" exactly
[15:06:40] <pcw_home> No
[15:07:00] <R2E4> 1 7i92, 1-7i77, 1-7i74, 2-7i70, 2-7i71or7i72.... 753.00 of pure joy!!!!

[15:14:52] <pcw_home> not just a real time or sserial error
[15:15:19] <lair82> pcw_home, does the .read.tmax value reset itself when you re-start linuxcnc?
[15:15:31] <pcw_home> yes
[15:15:55] <lair82> Ok, I was always wondering about that, thats why I went with all shielded patch cables
[15:16:00] <pcw_home> you can also setp it back to 0
[15:16:31] <lair82> Ok, I will go pull the wifi card, and re-start the control and then monitor the values
[15:17:09] <lair82> I really don't want to have to pull a cable to that machine, but if that is what it comes down to I guess.
[15:18:01] <lair82> So, "halcmd setp hm2.7i80.read.tmax 0"
[15:18:02] <R2E4> The tool_change_position: is that machine coords?
[15:18:37] <pcw_home> yes that (halcmd) will work
[15:19:52] <lair82> ok, cool, thanks pcw, gonna go see if I can't clear this up finally.
[15:20:35] <lair82> R2E4, I do believe that value is in G53 ABS machine position

[15:20:51] <maxcnc> hi from sunny germany
[15:21:34] <R2E4> I dont know how they did the toolchange on this machine. The toolchange position is past the limit switch.
[15:22:41] <maxcnc> some controles ignore limit at toolchange
[15:22:56] <lair82> You could do some ladder programming to interfere with that signal, to disregard the input during a toolchange sequence
[15:23:39] <maxcnc> all wood mashine got the tool changed off the workarea
[15:24:02] <R2E4> This is not a wood machine. It is a big VMC hitachi seiki VM40
[15:24:35] <maxcnc> is there a sinumerik on
[15:24:57] <R2E4> I will look into installing a emergency limit switch that will remove power from drive before I ignore the limit switch.
[15:25:45] amnesic_away is now known as amnesic
[15:26:20] <Sync_> well, if you have a drive fault an emergency limit switch will not prevent damage
[15:26:46] <Sync_> as usually it crashes with too much speed to stop in time
[15:28:01] <maxcnc> if you use Mesa boards you got enoph options to get 2 limitswitches
[15:28:17] <maxcnc> take one out at tool change and the other in
[15:28:25] <maxcnc> and at tool finish do a reverse
[15:29:02] <maxcnc> as easy as it is at mcode setting relais
[15:30:11] <maxcnc> do it logical first set the outer switch on then cut of power to the inner one so signal is never lost
[15:30:22] <maxcnc> and reverse the one the same
[15:30:56] <maxcnc> only 2 user mcodes take action no need of ladder logic to interfear the system
[15:32:36] <lair82> pcw_home I removed the wifi card, and it still running around 850000 on average, the max was around 930000 so far, after completely re-starting the pc,
[15:33:01] <enleth> Sync_: I tested that on my mill, full speed run over a limit switch stops it reliably no less than 0.5mm away from a mechanical crash
[15:33:18] <enleth> Sync_: but it does have brakes that are normally closed
[15:34:32] <maxcnc> lair82: thats in ns latency
[15:34:33] <enleth> it's not a terribly fast machine though
[15:35:18] <maxcnc> i now got a supplyer for HP thin clients the 5730 is the fastest mashine ive seen
[15:35:22] <pcw_home> Thats quite high, I get around 1/3 of that ( those are not nS but CPU clocks)

[15:40:28] <pcw_home> maybe something different/wrong with kernel
[15:40:41] <R2E4> maxcnc: disable the input for the limit sw and enable the outer one then reverse?

[15:42:28] -!- Komzpa has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[15:43:39] <R2E4> I could just wire the outer switch in series with the inner, the during toolchange energize a relay and put the contact in parallel with the inner switch. When it finishes the tool change, de-energize the relay.
[15:44:11] <pcw_home> stop linuxcnc

[17:16:10] <pcw_home> lair82: also I believe mozmck has a slick way to automate the driver tweak
[17:19:21] <pink_vampire> it's start on 500K now the download on 100K
[17:19:24] <pink_vampire> WTF
[17:21:27] <Simonious> grr.. everything looks defined, but the sketch is claiming it isn't fully defined.
[17:22:12] <pink_vampire> try to move the blue parts (solidworks)
[17:22:29] <Simonious> I know.. there aren't any, like I said, it looks fully defined.. searching
[17:22:34] <pink_vampire> and you can also make it fix
[17:22:39] <Simonious> that is cheating
[17:22:41] <Simonious> I have never done that
[17:23:14] <Simonious> got it
[17:23:41] <pink_vampire> it's lock to the center point?
[17:23:43] <Simonious> one segment had one degree of freedom, but was overlayed with other construction lines, so it was hidden

[17:42:48] <R2E4> pink_vampire: it scrapped 4 piece3s I am cutting.
[17:43:24] <pink_vampire> but what happened?
[17:43:53] <pink_vampire> R2E4: ^
[17:45:21] <R2E4> The trajectory planner decided to cut two corners instead of making it square, they are now rounded. Cut 33 pieces perfect then it did this.
[17:45:30] <R2E4> did it a few more times.
[17:46:42] <pink_vampire> are sure there is no change in the gcode?
[17:47:04] <pink_vampire> R2E4:
[17:47:10] <R2E4> I am cutting 300 of them. I dont change the GCode
[17:47:32] <pink_vampire> I mean by mistake..
[17:47:38] <R2E4> It did it at a different place last order.
[17:47:51] <R2E4> no, the next piece is ok
[17:48:26] <R2E4> lair82: what cam you using?
[17:48:31] <pink_vampire> it's a long file?
[17:48:42] <R2E4> no its not a long file.
[17:49:32] <pink_vampire> maybe realtime problem?
[17:51:56] <R2E4> there is no realtime in windows
[17:52:06] -!- maxcnc [maxcnc!~chatzilla@ip5f58618e.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[17:52:08] <maxcnc> hi
[17:52:22] <lair82> It is linuxcnc, and it is using Gmoccapy as the front end, using the XFce-dusk theme.
[17:52:49] <R2E4> Its a known issue with mach3, trajectory planner is hosed
[17:53:01] <R2E4> lair82: what are you using to generate gcode?
[17:53:10] <lair82> R2E4, we are using VisualMill by Mecsoft
[17:53:29] <maxcnc> tats cool
[17:53:38] <lair82> that program on that part was over 150K lines of code
[17:53:46] <maxcnc> its still inside Rhino 2016
[17:53:52] <OdinYggd> !
[17:54:05] <OdinYggd> Another rhino user! What's new in 2016 vs what Rhino had in 2004
[17:54:15] <maxcnc> lair82: rhino makes alot of gcode lines on arc
[17:54:32] <lair82> The finishing program for that part was almost 200k
[17:54:58] <maxcnc> OdinYggd: the 4th axis support is quite better
[17:55:07] <R2E4> that seems like alot for that program
[17:55:31] <OdinYggd> Quite a bit better- because the version I have doesn't have 4axis at all
[17:55:49] <maxcnc> oh it got inside since rhino4
[17:55:57] <R2E4> whats your step down on the pocket?
[17:56:01] <OdinYggd> I'm still on Rhino3
[17:56:12] <maxcnc> rhino 3 dident match up on this
[17:56:44] <pink_vampire> how it's compered to hsm works?
[17:57:10] <R2E4> hsm is cool. I use it in inventor
[17:57:21] <OdinYggd> HSM is the bane of my DNC system
[17:57:22] <R2E4> hsmworks is for Solidworks I think
[17:57:32] <pink_vampire> I'm with hsm express on my solidworks
[17:57:34] <maxcnc> lair82: did you improve the arc precision to 1 then you get 4gcode qaders max
[17:57:39] <OdinYggd> Fusion likes to use a denser pointcloud than the DNC has bandwidth to transfer to the machine
[17:57:49] <maxcnc> some use 0,01 then you get 100 lines per arc
[17:57:51] <OdinYggd> 115200 bps rs232 isn't fast enough
[17:58:00] <pink_vampire> but I want to start doing some 3d machining
[17:58:08] <pink_vampire> maybe even 4th axis
[17:58:20] <lair82> I believe it was a max of like .030 steps deep, .060 step over for the roughing, then .003 step over for the finishing
[17:58:36] <R2E4> I need a 4th axis for my vmc but they are way too expensive
[17:58:45] <maxcnc> pink_vampire: check Deskproto
[17:59:07] <R2E4> what steel is that?
[17:59:18] <maxcnc> the HAAS mashines got 4th axis ready all delivered
[17:59:24] <OdinYggd> Usually
[17:59:51] <maxcnc> the VF series also got the servo driver mounted
[17:59:52] <OdinYggd> they leave the factory with a 4th axis servo card already present and configured
[18:00:04] <OdinYggd> Just plug in the axis unit you want to use with it
[18:00:09] <pink_vampire> i need to move from mach3 to linux first
[18:00:12] <OdinYggd> Some machines have a 5th axis card present as well
[18:00:19] <maxcnc> agree yust hit the estop get the par in plase and feel free
[18:00:27] <OdinYggd> Also mind the paint color.
[18:00:41] <OdinYggd> White-painted Haas machines are not compatible with black-painted 4th and 5 axis units
[18:00:44] <maxcnc> has been that easy to generate lots of monex
[18:00:51] <OdinYggd> The difference is that the white-cased machines have brushless servos in them
[18:01:09] <OdinYggd> while the black cased units have brushed servos
[18:01:11] <pink_vampire> I'm using the probe a-lot
[18:01:14] <OdinYggd> The adapter between them costs $3000
[18:01:46] <maxcnc> pink_vampire: on plasma countless a day
[18:01:52] <pink_vampire> linuxcnc support probing for edge finding? and centering?
[18:02:08] <cradek> of course!
[18:02:09] <R2E4> pink_vampire: yes
[18:03:04] <pink_vampire> in about april I will get the rest of the parts.
[18:03:27] <pink_vampire> and then I will be able to move it again
[18:03:28] <maxcnc> long time to dream about
[18:03:38] <pink_vampire> about 3 weeks..
[18:03:48] <R2E4> freemill for inventor...... yoohoo, Ima going to try that.
[18:04:17] <maxcnc> freemill is free soft
[18:04:26] <maxcnc> it even runs on ubuntu
[18:04:48] <pink_vampire> how I can get the nice interface for linuxcnc?
[18:05:07] <maxcnc> in the ini
[18:05:21] <R2E4> pink_vampire: gmocappy, you can have all pink buttons and stuff....
[18:05:41] Guest84594 is now known as OhmEye
[18:05:58] <maxcnc> i heard alot on this i might google a picture on that i stay on axis
[18:06:13] <lair82> pink_vampire it is using Gmoccapy as the front end, using the XFce-dusk theme
[18:06:16] <maxcnc> looks pro not like mach color fancy
[18:06:33] <pink_vampire> there is a version that already look nice?
[18:06:53] <pink_vampire> I like stuff that look pro.

[19:07:14] <norias> I think I might just make a bar puller for this job
[19:08:08] <pink_vampire> norias: what do you mean?
[19:08:24] <norias> I want to turn a bunch of parts without attending to the machine
[19:08:28] <norias> hence, bar puller
[19:08:40] <norias> but, i'm might just make one
[19:08:41] <gregcnc> or come back to a bunch of broken tools
[19:09:10] <_methods> i never trust those things
[19:09:14] <_methods> they always slip
[19:09:17] <_methods> or something goes wrong
[19:09:21] <norias> i've run machines with bar pullers and sub spindles before
[19:09:25] <norias> eh
[19:09:52] <_methods> you going to build a coolant powered one?
[19:10:19] <norias> maybe
[19:10:29] <norias> not a bad idea, really
[19:10:30] <pink_vampire> how much is "bunch of parts"?
[19:10:54] <norias> it's about 20 small, complex parts
[19:11:12] <norias> that i don't really want to hang around for
[19:11:17] <norias> mostly thinking out loud
[19:12:02] <norias> not screwing with the lathe would free me up to run the mill
[19:12:12] <pink_vampire> just do it part by part.
[19:12:24] <pink_vampire> http://www.hardcorebox.com/sneezing/
[19:12:27] <OdinYggd> Bar puller is more likely to not grab the bar and make a half-part than it is to pull too far and crash
[19:12:37] <pink_vampire> ok, this is the end of the internet.
[19:13:03] <OdinYggd> Bar puller in a turret lathe with a collet chuck can be configured to run an entire 6' bar's worth of parts unattended
[19:13:59] <gregcnc> i saw one video where they grooved the bar to get a good grip
[19:14:16] <norias> gregcnc: good idea.
[19:14:29] <norias> actually, if you groove the bar
[19:14:43] <norias> you can just make a mating bar that slides in the groove
[19:14:57] <norias> and have no actuation on the bar puller
[19:15:04] <norias> that's kinda slick
[19:15:13] <pink_vampire> you need 2 collets that can lock on the bar
[19:15:21] <OdinYggd> No you don't
[19:15:27] <gregcnc> minimum investment
[19:15:36] <pink_vampire> and one move one hold
[19:15:37] <gregcnc> for a little material cost
[19:15:39] <OdinYggd> The mass produced bar pullers I've seen take the form of a pair of pliers with a spring holding them shut and a block maintaining the minimum opening
[19:16:08] <OdinYggd> Press onto the bar with an X movement, release collet, move Z to pull bar, clamp collet, retract X to pop off the bar again
[19:16:09] <norias> gregcnc: i really like that.
[19:16:29] <pink_vampire> what is the length of the bar?
[19:16:38] <norias> 24"
[19:16:39] <OdinYggd> Whatever your machine can handle
[19:17:04] <norias> brb, going to look at the lathe
[19:17:43] <norias> yeah, that'll work
[19:17:48] <norias> i'm doing that
[19:17:55] <pink_vampire> for 2 feet you can just make someting like a press and push it.
[19:18:24] <norias> i think gregcnc's is the easiest / best idea
[19:18:28] <norias> it's dead simple
[19:18:36] <norias> the programming is bomb-proof
[19:19:32] <pink_vampire> how?

[19:19:47] <_methods> poor mans bar puller hehe
[19:21:18] <pink_vampire> I see what you meen
[19:24:01] <norias> i like his parts catcher
[19:24:04] <OdinYggd> Or instead of notching the bar
[19:24:09] <OdinYggd> If the part has a thread in the end
[19:24:15] <OdinYggd> Make that thread first, then put the mating thread on the turret
[19:24:15] <_methods> bucket catcher lol
[19:24:26] <OdinYggd> Very carefully screw it in and use that as your bar puller
[19:25:14] <_methods> i've always just had horrible luck with bar pullers
[19:26:02] <_methods> just make sure you have some extra material and some extra tools

[20:07:19] <pink_vampire> you can't clamp it on the machine?
[20:07:49] <PetefromTn_> I got a bunch of structural steel, tube, plate, aluminum plate, aluminum drops, some plastic sheet stuff etc etc.
[20:08:48] <PetefromTn_> I was going to try to take it but honestly I have so much to drag down there now its not worth the effort to find a place to put it all. Let alone dealing with it sliding and slipping all over the damn truck

[20:46:59] <zeeshan> anyone got a 3d printer in here?
[20:47:21] <Simonious> zeeshan: yes
[20:48:21] <zeeshan> im lookiong for one... to buy
[20:48:39] <zeeshan> 1500-2000 max. most important is precision
[20:48:48] <zeeshan> next is work envelope
[20:49:07] <zeeshan> it'd be nice if its servo based.
[20:49:07] <Simonious> zeeshan: If I were buying one today (and for most purposes I would instead of building) I'd go with lulzbot, unless I needed a high end machine - in which case I think I'd go with the Markforged.
[20:49:19] <Simonious> lulzbot certainly is not, not sure on the markforged.
[20:49:26] <Lowridah> precision gets worse ad envelope gets bigger
[20:49:32] <zeeshan> both are FDM?
[20:49:41] <zeeshan> i think i want to stay away from SLA
[20:49:44] <Simonious> yes
[20:49:46] <zeeshan> cause it costs too much to print stuff
[20:49:47] <Simonious> both FDM
[20:49:50] <Lowridah> lulzbot is pretty good for the price, like a beefed up turnkey mendelmax
[20:50:00] <zeeshan> are they made out of plastic
[20:50:01] <Simonious> Lowridah: agreed
[20:50:02] <zeeshan> or metal
[20:50:07] <Lowridah> i'm partial to the rostock max 2 but i like deltas
[20:50:16] <zeeshan> and are they in a a heated enclosure
[20:50:21] <zeeshan> or just heated glass table
[20:50:26] <Simonious> Lowridah: the rostock is also a very good machine
[20:50:36] <Simonious> zeeshan: the lulzbot you would be building your own enclosure
[20:50:39] <zeeshan> my friend was recommending "Formlabs form 2"
[20:50:41] <Simonious> the Markforged has one
[20:51:03] <Lowridah> the form2 is $1500 more than your upper end for price range
[20:51:48] <Simonious> oh.. oops, the Markforged is also out of range
[20:51:51] <Simonious> for price
[20:51:58] <Lowridah> i haven't seen much as far as resin strength versus abs or say, PET
[20:52:10] <Simonious> the lulzbot is a good machine. I don't have one personally, but a close friend has two and uses them for prototypes
[20:52:15] <Simonious> also lulzbot runs a tight shop
[20:52:30] <Simonious> if you want strength save up and get the Markforged
[20:53:25] <Jymmm> _methods: last one is you, aint it??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPJVF-w0We8
[20:53:49] <zeeshan> its also sla

[20:55:49] <Lowridah> two mendelmaxes?
[20:55:58] <Simonious> yeah, more or less
[20:56:07] <zeeshan> i wish i could open links
[20:56:07] <Simonious> the blue one is the 5th ever MendelMax
[20:56:16] <Simonious> the black one is it's offspring
[20:56:22] <Simonious> both are pretty heavily custom
[20:56:43] <zeeshan> lowrida why so many :P
[20:56:54] <Lowridah> zeeshan: a few were given to me, a few i built
[20:57:05] <zeeshan> what kind of tolerances do you think you can hold on the 3d printers you guys recommended
[20:57:09] <Lowridah> sometimes you get into a hobby and just forget that it's not a big deal
[20:57:12] <zeeshan> +/- 0.010?
[20:57:37] <Lowridah> zeeshan: yes, if you're pedantic about calibration and even calibration-per-spool of filament
[20:57:41] <zeeshan> people say to go with an env chamber
[20:57:43] <XXCoder> +- .0000001

[21:00:19] <_methods> do it
[21:00:27] <Simonious> zeeshan: hobby printers like this require calbiration almost constantly to get consistent tolerance - some guys can probably get 10micron consistently, I get probably 100 micron consistently, but I'm an admittedly lazy tuner.
[21:00:30] <_methods> i need to get some airsoft bb's
[21:00:45] <Jymmm> _methods: Yeah, where do you get them cheap and in bulk?
[21:00:49] <_methods> amazon?
[21:01:07] <_methods> or go to the local airsoft field and beat up some little kid and take them from him?
[21:01:33] <_methods> trump style
[21:01:43] <__rob2> Simonious, how do you find them generally, reliable ?
[21:01:56] <__rob2> I have a makerbot replicator x2 in the roof, was a pile of rubbish
[21:02:08] <__rob2> extruder blockages all the time
[21:02:10] <Simonious> __rob2: generally yes - I have had prints fail partway through, but that usually doesn't happen if you mind the details
[21:02:32] <Simonious> __rob2: I've also missed steps, but that is always operator error/ _really_ lazy tuning
[21:02:58] <__rob2> yea, I just got bored with the effort required to print something useless
[21:03:09] <__rob2> it was abs tho, apparently harder to print with..
[21:03:16] <Simonious> I occasionally print a prototype, but not real often
[21:05:42] <Lowridah> i've printed off a number of ar15 lowers, magazines i've never gotten to feed right, 10/22 receivers
[21:05:53] <Lowridah> all kinds of neat stocks out of the fosscad repo
[21:06:14] <Lowridah> velocity stacks for scooters/motorcycles, gears for electric longboards etc
[21:06:40] <Lowridah> i never print the useless statues and shit you see piled up on thingiverse
[21:06:58] <XXCoder> Lowridah: except Yoda right?
[21:07:15] <XXCoder> everyone prints that. ;)
[21:07:18] <_methods> so you use your ar15 lowers you printed then?
[21:07:19] <Lowridah> well, i've printed out a buddha darth vader and a buddha stormtrooper for the office
[21:07:25] <Lowridah> _methods: yea
[21:07:34] <Lowridah> print at 100% infill then treat with layers of 2-part epoxy
[21:07:42] <Lowridah> the epoxy may even be overkill
[21:08:42] <_methods> more than 1 round?
[21:08:58] <Lowridah> yea, magazines worth

[21:09:11] <Lowridah> some of these lower designs have 600+ thorugh them without any signs of breakage
[21:09:26] <Lowridah> i dunno anyone that's printed a good lower and had it break from normal usage
[21:10:11] <_methods> so you don't run into any issues with buffer tube wear?
[21:10:28] <Lowridah> the buffer tube area's usually really beefed up in the models most people use
[21:10:36] <Lowridah> considerably larger
[21:10:44] <Lowridah> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9R-Pl5Oq3I
[21:10:49] <Lowridah> here's my first test fire actually
[21:11:16] <Lowridah> i drop the magazine at the end because the rod/spring retainer wasn't threaded on enough, i had just figured out how to assemble it all an hour earlier
[21:11:56] <Lowridah> i've even printed out neat wooden ar15 furniture
[21:14:08] <Lowridah> the 10/22s were a bit disappointing but after judicious application of graphite lube they started to cycle just fine
[21:17:36] <_methods> be funny watching buffer tube go flyin at the range lol

[22:33:14] <DRGray> so on your prints you soak it in epoxy resin to stregnthen?
[22:33:53] <Lowridah> no, i paint it on, it's a self-leveling epoxy specifically for 3d prints
[22:34:12] <DRGray> to make it stronger?
[22:34:30] <Lowridah> yes, it levels out the striations and makes it considerably stronger, especially if you do a few layers
[22:34:50] <DRGray> if you just paint it on? does it soak in far?
[22:35:01] <DRGray> im guessing 3d prints are still quite porus
[22:35:18] <DRGray> i have a 3d printer i just havent been using it that much due to strenght of end results
[22:35:21] <Lowridah> you paint it on as thin as you possibly can, and it sets up and causes surface tension to fill the striations

[23:19:57] <_methods> yeah
[23:20:28] <_methods> if i get it hot enough to get a good melt on the filler then it blows thru the main material
[23:20:39] <_methods> but if i don't get it hot enough the filler rod just balls up and sits on top
[23:20:44] <JT-Shop> I can only imagine a 0.040 wire welding 0.020 stock
[23:21:02] <_methods> i have 1/16 filler
[23:21:10] <JT-Shop> can you make it fit well enough to not use filler?

[23:22:43] <_methods> i started using flat
[23:22:44] <JT-Shop> should have a tiny flat on the tungsten

[23:22:57] <JT-Shop> yea
[23:23:09] <_methods> i gave up for now
