And in recent times the chainsaw to the chest has fallen out of favor, 
doing all this stuff in the cath lab now, sometimes talking to you while 
they work. Amazing stuff.

Take care and stay well, Dave.

The missus is in the shop, thouroughly pissed because we wouldn't let her 
smoke 3 or 4 cigs while the ems people stood around.  But she will get 
over it as soon as they slap a nic patch on her. I'll check on her I 
think, since they aren't allowing visitors, a couple times a day. HIPPA  
makes that a PITA.

They've not yet got that hard up for spares, OTOH, my legs have been 
attached to a DM-II for nearly 30 years, so I don't imagine they'll make 
good spare parts.  The right one in particular is a bit rough. ATM I'm 
up cause its cramping and I've just given it a rub with therawerks.
They've also been stented already. That was some of the first 4 or 5 
stents they put in, not all were in my heart.  It has reduced the edema 
some, enough to be noticeable.

I had started to see if I could find a hub for a printed sprocket with 
the lathe and a block of alu, but the heat and humidity ran me back into 
the AC, and when I later made a run to the mailbox, surprise, there were 
2 all metal sprockets in it. So now I need to find enough bolts to mount 
the adapter plate, from nema 34 to nema 23, and the belt should till 
fit.  This is an experiment of sorts, replaceing a very noisy 1600 oz/in 
motor with a 3 phase 3NM motor that thinks its a step/dir driven servo. 
I've not used one of these before. It should have enough power and be 50 
db quieter.  These 3 phasers are 1.2 degree motors, so I'll have to 
recal the scale. Running on a function generator it goes up to about 
2500 revs before it faults and the torque at 1000 is amazing, so I think 
it will work just fine.  But I'll have to splice the motor cable while 
I'm switching it to 3 wire drive from 4 wire.  Apparently the vender 
didn't src it all from the same place, so the encoder cable is a couple 
meters longer than the motor cable.  No biggie for me, but I hate 
splicing cables in the middle of a run.

I'll put the other of the motor pair w/drivers I got for $250 on this 
BS-1 if I can cobble up an on-center shaft for idler stuffs, and maybe 
put gears for the 2nd stage of geardown since theres only about 40mm 
between the tilt axis central point and the worm shaft.  Thats the plan 
anyway. What I want isn't speed, but enough power to drive it while its 
cutting a gear, which can load up the worm and make it very hard to 
turn.

I'd bought another qctp as the one of the lathe was falling apart on one 
side, had it for 2 or 3 months, BOSTAR brand, dirt cheap. And today 
found there is a diff between 250-1xx toll holders and 250-2xx tool 
holders. Different width, and slightly diff dovetail angles. As Jackie 
was fond of saying, what a revolting development that is.  The -1xx 
stuff fits a piston qctp, the -2xx stuff fits a wedge locking qctp. The 
advertisments doesn't make that distinction.

So I'm a wee bit schmardter today.

Take care and stay well, TomP.

[Emc-users] Stupid CNC stunts. A 3D printed timing belt.

[Chris Albertson]

There was a question on another thread:  "I wonder if you can 3D print a
timing belt?"   That I think was intended as a joke.   But I thought it
sounded like such a dumb idea I'd have to try.   So I did.

I am converting a Harbor Freight Mini Mill to CNC and have now made all the
parts.  Except for standard off the shelf hardware, all the parts are 3D
printed.   I want to work out the easiest path for CNC conversion and then
publish it so as to allow more people to have CNC capability.   So I'm now
assembling parts and needed a belt.   I was able to make the conversion to
CNC with no machined parts.

I fully expected the belt to fail as soon as I applied tension.  It
didn't.  Then I thought that as soon as I'd rotate the pulley the belt
would break.  it didn't so I fired up LinuxCNC and ran the splash
screen forwards and backwords and got bored after it just worked about 8
times back to front.

About the belt.  I went to the SPD/SI web site and found a 133T, 3mm pitch,
 9mm wide GT3 profile belt and clicked "download CAD file".  I printed the
file with no modifications and using the defaults setting in Cura with PLA
plastic.PLA is a hard plastic not noted for being flexible.

Below is a video of the belt in operation.   It is also the very first time
this mill has moved under computer control.  It is just the bare minimum of
parts installed for this stunt.  The Z and X motors are laying flat on the
bench.  The Z motor has a bad driver and is *very* noisy (and replacements
are out of stock).I placed a bit of blue painter's tape on the belt so
you can see it move.

toy for kids 8 and up. There is lots to do in the space where machines
weigh in at 100 grams or less.

Now if I can put the last 2 motors I bought to work, using this printers
output to help do it, then we'll see what other trouble I can get into.

The first one replaces the 1600 on the sheldon's Z, and the 2nd one will
run that BS-1.

No, but the top of the crossfeed on an 11" Sheldon is a pretty thin 
casting.  Might be a lot easier damaged than the identical part of a 
monarch of similar size.

Falling over and landing to the compound crank split the compounds ways 
wide open, long before it followed me home in a cargo van.  But I didn't 
find that until after I'd gotten it unloaded and was looking for how 
best to cnc it.

That's 100 ft.lb. A good heave on a long spanner. Would you expect
that to break your toolpost?

And the aluminum pulleys showed up in the mailbox today, so all I have to 
is redo the 4 wire motor run to a 3 wire, and change out the motor & 
driver. And possibly the psu, I think it over 50 volts now and thats the 
drivers input limit. I'll have to measure it, but I have a 48 volt 7.5 
amp switcher ready, already turned down to 43 volts.

Took the Mrs to the shop to get her healed up, and I'll need to get a 
hospital type bed before she comes home again, if she does...  COPD.

That would be the worthington mechanism.  Used at one point in Sheldon 
lathes, and I think in the lathe Andy has. Unforch, no real way to take 
up for wear.

That would nice but I'm not 100% sure my bxa post could handle a 50 lb 
chuck 2 feet out of balance.

I have rigged a 400 lb electric to the ceiling to lift the BS-1 clone on 
and off the g0704's table though. Twould be nice over at the lathe, but 
no access to the ceiling as the garage door moves over the lathe.  A 
small 3 sheave rope might be enough if hung from the dexeon bar holding 
a 4' led lamp over the bed of the lathe. But its got to be short when 
pulled up and the one I have is all of a foot or more at full lift.

I was my Mum's carer for many years and we had breakfast together every day.
Sometimes she was tired and would trot out an old saying
"Keep going old horse, and you'll get corn"
When I was a lot younger, I just thought it was daft, but I'm older now, and 
she was not wrong.
She was active up to the end, and I think she was right. There's no other way 
to go.

Seems like a rather handy, or maybe very handy device. Lift heavy weight using 
little space, could almost think the Chinese invented it.


Not much get done if thinking to much about death.

For 31. you are doing very well, but I would also say that the best is 
yet to come. There are things to do yet with hal that when you have done 
them, will put an instant smile on your face.  Those moments are 
priceless.  But you will do them, leaveing the problem as being you 
don't like to brag.  Do a bit more of it.

You are in good hands, mine I carried away 20 some years ago. Didn't know

I think, from what wasn't said, that easy is the only way I can go, I've 
reached the end of my rope. But I do have to admit, its been one heck of 
a ride.  I have a list of BTDT's that are just short of un-beleivable.
There are only a few short periods I'd skip if I could play it all back.

And getting to know the people on this list sure isn't one I'd skip.
Thank you, each and every one.

Though at 23 pounds itself, it might not be any lighter than Gene's chuck.
And they are not inexpensive.

Sorry to hear that Gene, and I hope you get better as soon as possible. I
guess it's a real pain in the ass being indicated not to do this or that
but surely there's no other way. My father is in a similar situation in
wich he can't lift too much weight or make strong efforts because he has a
little problem with a heart valve. He has been cheating that fortunately
and doesn't need surgery at the moment (he's almost 81 a little younger
than you).

I think the attitude you and my father have (staying still as never as
possible) it the best way to live this life anyway. I guess I have a little
bit of that too and I hope I can be even more restless as years go by (I'm
31 at the moment).

Again, I hope you get well and I sincerely wish you 50 more years of good
life doing the amazing stuff you do :). I tell that to my father too.

I was going to say that we're all fucked anyways, but that depends on the
way one takes life.

Best wishes!

[Emc-users] Health update

[Gene Heskett]

Greets all;

I had an ambulance come and get me Sunsay evening, had presistent chest 
pain.  The local ER put a nitro patch in my should and call for another 
ride to WVU/Ruby because I needed another session in the cath lab, which 
they did Monday afternoon, going in thru my right wrist this time, and 
replaced one srent that was clogged up.  They changed the meds to see if 
they can head off a repeat.  Then my oldesr son, who is the onsite 
mechanic for one of the powerline construction companies that goes all 
over the country rebuilding storm damage

Went to the garage and found a block of alu that looked like it was 
hiding a hub for a 32 tooth XL belt pulley, but the heat ran me back in 
the house where we have some kin in from new york visiting and puttering 
around collecting trash cause tom. is trash pickup.  So I got a bottle 
of miller 64 out of the fridge, came in here to catch up on email and do 
my BP to check on that med.  Took 4 passes to get a legit reading of 
140/73. Tolerable.

So it looks like my garage time is going to be limited, as I was lifting 
about 5x (the 8" 4 jaw chuck) the limit they gave me yesterday just by 
picking up the 4 jaw and screwing it on.  And the drawbolt for the 
locking collar striped.  So I'll either need to make another or cut out 
a recess to allow a nut to be fitted.

I've heard rumors these stents were 6 month fixes and that is about how 
old they are.  But even with them, I'm only pumping around 31%.  Thats 
not really good enough for the long term.

Stay well folks. And you can get it the 2nd time, I've nephew-in-law 
that's sick with it again right now.
 
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Re: [Emc-users] linuxcnc controlled lathes (love to hear from people that are running them)

[Leonardo Marsaglia]

Just adding my recent experience here.

I'm not using any kind of tool wear compensation and didn't use it before
because all the parts we do have a grinding finishing process after.

I'm using HSMworks + Solidworks with a modified version of a LinuxCNC post
I found. I basically added a retraction in absolute coordinates before a
tool change is requested and also the G43 code because it wasn't working.
I'm also preventing the tool change process to take place directly in the
tool component if that minimum safety distance is not met (a really
important safety feature the mazak didn't have). I'm still getting along
with HSMworks and some of its quirks but I'm pretty comfortable with it. I
let the cam software handle all the tool geometry compensation and passes.

Other safety features I implemented in HAL are: Avoid the opening of the
chuck if the spindle speed is more than 1 rpm, avoid the tail spindle to be
retracted if the program is in execution, and so on..

I attach a couple of videos of some parts I'm making. Please apologize the
nasty turret but we machine mostly ductile cast iron (also I have a tiny
leak since I changed the hydropneumatic clamping system to fully hydraulic
despite having all new orings installed). And I know the program could be
less shittier but you're seeing some of the solutions to the quirks of
HSMworks.

It's fantastic everything works, even qtpyvcp, and the qt designer to
edit the qtpyvcp panel, and probe_basic too.

I just need a larger screen because probe_basic display is too large for
my screen.
