[Emc-users] buildbot apt-key?

2022-03-21 Thread gene heskett
Greetings all;

How do I get and install the buildbot's apt-key EF1B07FEE0EE663E ?

With wget I'd imagine, but don't recall the keyserver. :(

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Nice Andy! I have some sumitomo CBN inserts I purchased from ebay a while
back because they were really cheap but never used it because I'm always
lacking the tool holder...

Re: [Emc-users] Because I can't seem to finish anything... Nebel lathe conversion.

2022-03-21 Thread Sam Sokolik
we wrapped the ball screw and nut with plastic - dad went outside and
ground it with an angle grinder.  Then finished it up on the belt sander.
He took a couple breaks mainly so it didn't get too hot.  (it barely got
hot to the touch.)

We had thought about milling out the slot - but didn't want to risk having
it change the shape of the saddle.

It is my understanding that ball screws are case hardened so grind to 
get under the case and

then things get easy.
Interesting and good job on the ball nut. !!

In line with the nebel prize: the machine should be a very light grey

ball bearing fans start easier, leads to over cooling the early
layers. Change the min speed so its stopped for the 1st layer
like
it used to be at 25% power. Sleeve bearing fans often don't start
at
all till the mid 30% range.

Try zero for the first layer or even as high as the third layer
before
the fan actually starts. I have a ball bearing fan on my BIQU BX
and
it runs plenty fast enough at 30% of max in cura for PETG which
needs far less cooling than PLA. I don't mess with PLA at all,
too
brittle.

I've also put a diamonback .4mm PCD nozzle in mine so I can use
the
carbon fiber filled PETG but haven't yet seen the need for its
improved strength. I'm running the nozzle at 252C and the bed at
90C
and my printed air manifold is air tight. Bed adhesion is only a
problem getting stuff loose. Its almost too good. If the nozzle
is
slobbering, check how tight it is, then reduce the flow 2% at a
time
to stop the overflow, this PCD nozzle conducts heat into the
filament better than brass, melting it better which can increase
the
flow. At 245C the part will not be airtight if you need that. At
252C the part gets noticably glossier because its more liquid and
bonds well to the next layer down before it cools and solidify's.

Take care and stay well John. And my teeny version to be used as
the

to
make, seems to be pretty solid, got several hundred hours on it

I have machined a number of ballscrews. Typically I peel of the outer
hardened layer with CBN-tipped tools, but mainly because I have some.
It can be done with normal carbide, though you might need more than
one.
Very high surface speed and very light cuts is the way to go.

That was a generic ball screw from ebay with the ends machine.   My
understanding is the shaft is only surface hardened and is pretty soft
underneath.  (have not tried filing various areas of the ball screw though)
