It is constructed! However it is too late to power it up. My eyes are tired enough. First impression: It's cheap and it shows at every corner. Despite the "Pro" in its name it feels far from it. The front (and back) plate where the rods and screw rod for the table are attached to is made of bakelite. I expected aluminium. On the other hand it seems to be thick and sturdy. The only real bummers are the plastic spindle holder and the plastic holders for the bushings for sliding on the rods and the plastic screw rod nut holder. I'll test it tomorrow or so before my complaints get any validity. I mean I got what I paid for: A cheap CNC for cheap money. Baby's first CNC. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/874944

@thismightbeauser Hmm, good thinking there spider.
Wait a second, spider ?
AHH SPIDER ! -
according to all known laws of linguistics, there is no way japanese kanjis should be used in a language. The japanese, of course, use it anyway because they dont care what baka gaijins think is impossible

@drinkingpony Bakelite is a type of plastic. Many products were made of bakelite until modern plastics like ABS were invented. And it will destroy itself because it lacks any endstop switches but I will install some that I have laying around. The pro aspect of it is that it has support for lasers and the spindle is a bit more precise. I will test it when I come back from work.
-
@adiwan I do not know what bakelite is. Nor do I know what that circuit boards looks like but I guess that is where the pro comes from ( picture please )
Now you might want to check before you begin if the thing is 'smart' enough to not go out of bounds and destroy itself. I did a little bit of reading on them machines. -
@nerthos Here is a stupid idea... Try hairspray.
Nono, not on them, remove them first and then see if hairsprayed components inhitbit their growth.
Also, have you considered that it is not fungus you are dealing with but some form of oxydation ? -
@mrmattimation Pretty sure if I got to vote either her or Carly Fiorina from the 2016 elections, Marianne Williamson would get my vote. However these are not the insanity-elections.
But they will be known that way by half the country or more if 'he-who-shall-not-be-named' gets a 2nd term. -
@nerthos Well, I doubt it would survive a bath of 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Oh, also, note : do not drink that. -
I cannot stress it enough: Watch "Amphibia"! The first season ended today so there is no excuse.
-
@thismightbeauser That is a lot more rose-tinted than the version I heard earlier.
Though I guess how much rose-tint is to be found directly corresponds with how much you liked or hated the new Mad Max -
@thismightbeauser They are quite real I assure you. However you pretty much need to go out of your way to find them currently. Such as dropping electrodes in a pond in a park and return in a month time to see if you cought any.

@nerthos I'm sorry, do you live in the future ?

"BELLY BUTTON !!!" someone behind multiple computer monitors suddenly spouted out as if just finding Waldo in a notorious book.
followed by "Aw shucks... go back to your posts people, this is normal for me... I could not come up with a word like 5 hours ago and... Well, here we are" -
@scribus Get a container of water. small butt large opening containers work best IMHO.
If it floats, it's toast ( throw it away )
If it stands, it demands ( to be used straight away )
If it sinks, its still good methinks. -
Shakes head
You know, I was just thinking ? Can we get some sort of system that we can designate something as spam ?
Oh and it would obviously be logged who designated something as spam so we could not supress eachother without a mod lurking over would-be-abusers.
Yeah, no idea if that can be implemented, if someone wants that implemented, or even if it is a good idea in the first place. But I swear if I see advertisements about the paleo diet again I am going to scream like a caveman. -
"How awesome would it be for Rose Leslie to play Ariel ?"
Oh yeah I can see that work
"How awesome would it be for Ariel to go 'You know nothing about snow'?"

@adiwan Too bad Prime Day seems to be over. But that looks like a lovely machine. Looking forward to seeing your first acrylic cutout of pony :)
-
Ohkay, so ehh, this looks simple enough http://rainbowdash.net/url/874926
Too bad I have no idea how to find the output or run a .1 microfarad capacitor in parallel with it.
I do not even think it is in the schematic that he shows.

The VR game Trover saves the Universe by Justin Roiland is, just average. The controls are sometimes infuriating. To match parity with PSVR and one-camera Oculus Rift setups it makes me furious to rotate because when I look backwards my view is blocked by a chair and the view is darkened. The combat is as uninspiring as it gets.

@drinkingpony And you are right. Any cheaper and they always come from China. I don't want to cheap out and pay what I saved in import duties.
-
@drinkingpony I bought a SainSmart Genmitsu CNC 3018-PRO https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07G55SNZW for 220€ on a deal. There are cheaper variants of this but they come from smaller companies that are less reputable and I don't trust them much. The reviews are OK but that's to be expected for a barebone device of that size. If I want to do more and bigger things I can still make a bigger one with this and a 3d printer like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:790533
-
I couldn't resist any longer and I bought a small CNC router.
-
Is it weird that I went and looked online to find one, but I am only able to find cheaper chinese bigger ones around that price ?
-
Today was a very unfocused day at work. I did everything but my self-assigned task. I wrote a lot of helper methods (extension methods). Useful for sure but not that useful for the thing I wanted to realize.

Explain it to me again, slowly.
"A bunch of millennials are going to storm Area 51 in four phases. The first and the second waves consists of 'Naruto' runners who are convinced that they can evade bullets that way. People throwing pebbles, and people who bring specialized gear to break drywall. Finally there is a tunneler team"
And... you do not think this sounds insane ?
"Also Zuckerberg wants his dad rescued"
from area 51 ?
"Yeah"
**drinks straight from the Whiskey bottle without breaking eye contact**
"what, you think I am crazy ?"
Well now that you put it on the table...about 6 days ago from web -
@scribus Only a matter of time before we start to throw words around like "Transporter Psychosis" ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874913 )

"I personally don’t actually care that much" - @mrmattimation ... raises eyebrow.
If I were to lower my standard of things that irk me just a Weee-Little-Bit just 1 setting then I would be taking up a neigh permanent 20 out of 30 font page slots on this website. Meaning that everyone has a tresshold that makes something worth posting/dashing about. Which is the long way around to say "Yeah I actually do think you care"
But whatever happens next. Try not to bottle it up if you know that somewhere in the future the bottle might explode. After all you already said it was YEARS ago.
