3 MM extra long ball end mills - 17 years ago
These may be useful for people milling their own extruder heads. It's a 3 mm ball end mill. 25 mm cutting length, 76 mm overall length. $ 16.79 (discount-tools.com has a fairly good reputation.) I'm mentioning it here because I had trouble finding extra long 3 mm ball end mills online and in stores.by SebastienBailard - General
Re: Automated Circuit Production - 17 years ago
Is anyone interested in going in on a group buy for pcbs? I wouldn't mind organizing one, although I'll probably be etching my own on Friday. I'll try to get a cost estimate tonight.by SebastienBailard - General

Mike, I was wondering, who do you use as suppliers for powdered metal? I'm looking to pick up ~1 kg of powdered bronze. -Sebastienby SebastienBailard - Casting and Moldmaking Working Group

Well, we want support material too. We're probably going to use a second head to deposit polyethylene glycol, or perhaps some other material. -Sebastienby SebastienBailard - General

Re: ABS and HDPE prices - 17 years ago
Thank you for straightening that out, Forrest. I'll will organize a group buy for everyone for ABS and for UHMW. Please email me with your requests and shipping details. I'm going to phone in the order on Monday. UHMW is very tough, and very slippery. It is often used to make bearings, slides, jigs, etc. I can't remember its melting point off the top of my head, but it could be great toby SebastienBailard - Developers

I will ask him. If he says yes, I'll get some "pipe grade" hdpe as well, it will be good to compare to the stuff Zach got.

ABS and HDPE prices - 17 years ago
These are the price quotes I got from Jim at New Image Plastics Manufacturing (plasticweldingrod.com) The prices are for 25 lb of 3 mm ABS and for 25 lb of "Pipe grade HDPE" aka 'HDPE, High Molecular Pipe Grade', which is used to repair UHMW objects, I imagine. I'm not sure if it differs from the HDPE that Zach bought. I'm assuming it isn't really, and I'm not going to order any just now.by SebastienBailard - Developers
Re: HDPE has arrived. - 17 years ago
Zach and I are also looking to go in on an order of ABS, and we'd like to find a better price than the $7.40/lb villageplastics.com quoted me. I've submitted a quote request at New Image Plastics (plasticweldingrod.com.) Who would like some ABS if we submit an order? Also, Forrest, I think you have some. What's your status there?

Re: Lunatic idea - 17 years ago
I suppose it would work. No objections. We'd want to edit out the world domination threads. I'd say we test the idea using the emails from the "An alternative to timing belts?" thread. Also, let's not start with the main deluge until everyone's ready for it; it may be that one or two of us will want forwarning before receiving 3.5kiloemails. -Sebastien On Monday 19 February 2007 16:43,by SebastienBailard - Developers

Re: SebastienBailard: Re: Dark thought about support materials - 17 years ago
If new build material adheres poorly to support material, it would help to start the build material over known good build material. Mind you, if we need to do little quarter-assed to half-assed fixes like this, it means that the support material isn't really that good. By the way, Adrian, Forrest, do you want me to pick up some Polyethylene glycol for you, or are you having success with theby SebastienBailard - Developers
Re: Dark thought about support materials - 17 years ago
> Perhaps we should put the crosshatching down first and the perimeter last? Good suggestion. It may also help to start the cross-hatching on known structural matererial, rather than on support material. If you think of a circular table, with a small central column and a large flat top, 90%+ to 100% of the cross-hatching will start over support material. -Sebastienby SebastienBailard - Developers
