Title: What did you purchase/trade for today?
Post by: Gupgup on Wed, 01 May 2013, 22:37:08: Hey everyone!

I've been thinking, could we maybe have a thread where people can post what they purchased that day or what they traded to get? I definitely love the feeling of posting my awesome gets in the "What did you get in the mail today?" thread, but it would be awesome if we could have a sticky thread (or whatever you call them) where people could post the day of actually buying that item(s).

Just thinking out loud :))

Post in here and say if you like the idea or what your opinions are!

And I like this. I think the What's in the Mail thread is nice but things don't get updated that often. So you get this list of stuff but you never find out if ppl get it or what.

Thanks! Although I'm pretty sure my collection pales in comparison to IvanIvanovich's...

I've been using the Dolch as my main keyboard lately (I had ordered a 7x cherry profile aluminum space bar from MKC for the LZ-GH and wanted to test it out - and the Dolch board is the only board I currently have that uses a 7x space bar). Overall, I'm loving the typing feel and the more compact layout is a nice compromise between space and functionality, but the 2KRO limitation is revealing itself to be a bit of a bummer - I find myself getting typing errors from time to time if I'm going too fast, and I can't really game with it. Still, though, it's a pretty sweet board.

They are a blueish-green/teal, whereas the 7007L keys are more of a true blue. I'll post better pics w/ shots of the undersides of the keycaps and the switches once it arrives. According to IvanIvanovich (he has a typewriter in the same line), the keys are all cherry doubleshots, and he suggested that the switches are likely mx whites.

Unfortunately, it's not as cheap as people think to make larger stuff (plastic is $25 a pound plus machine time). I do want to see about making some decent GH60 cases. I have a few ideas for other things as well.

Where it becomes a real benefit to the community is special one off items, and testing designs before they are send off to a machinist to be done in aluminum.

It's still very much in it's infancy, in car terms, we aren't even at the Model T yet, but that is what makes it exciting.

You might be surprised at the finishes you can achieve if you want it. The problem is how much time, money and effort it takes to get that finish, and how much detail you will get along with it. For those reasons, you won't see it replace injection molding anytime soon, however, there are a few warehouses already full of them cranking out products that don't need that level of detail and finish and items that can't be made using other methods.

Don't get me wrong, I love 3d prints. But at this time, they're no replacement for finished consumer goods

Good luck getting everything setup just right. My friend spent months getting everything setup just right to where he was getting consistent prints every time (or with minimal adjustment)

wow Leslieann, you got a 3d printer? How much did it all cost you? This could be very useful :D
Most of the older style printers (Prusa, Mendel, Reprap, Makerbot, etc...) can now be built for as little as $400. Considering how well documented these are, and that you can occasionally even pick up used ones for that, it's a fairly good estimate. These are what most people are talking about when they talk about cheap 3d printers. These are still improving, but the pace has slowed dramatically, they face a design limitation in terms of precision. Remember, these were meant to be cheap and easily made.

Now, while you may think $400 isn't bad, but keep in mind that it can take months to get them sorted, and many, many people flat out give up before they get them working well, some before they even have all of the parts (you can get good deals that way). So while it may "only" be a few hundred dollars, it can be money down the drain.

This is the typical print quality you get for the above printers and what The_Beast is referring to. There are ways to smooth out the print so it looks better but they can be difficult, time consuming and sometimes risky. (Photo by bilsef on Thingiverse)

Mine is a newer Delta style, and while a typical model can be done for a little over $500, getting you similar or slightly better prints than the above picture (at faster rates). Unlike the older printers, these respond to upgrades better, most start out basic and then upgrade it as they can and as people find better ways to do things. Instead of buying basic then upgrading (a waste of money), I'm taking advantage of their knowledge and investing in the better parts from the start. I'm in for around $450 and I figure it will be another $200 or more in bearings, framework and extruder before I'm ready to buy the plastic to make something.

This is what my goal is for print quality (nearly identical machine to mine), those ridges are nearly paper thin, and minor finish work should result in a perfectly smooth finish. (photo by Flateric on SeeMeCNC)

No.

First off, in order to sell it, you need a firearms manufacturers license.
Then there is the fact that it's only designed to be used one time, and often breaks when you do. It's probably only lethal from about 4 feet as well (the barrel is 1/4in and really just the shell casing). It's almost as lethal to the person firing it, as it is to the target. That gun was meant as a technological demonstrator, it's not a real gun in the traditional sense.

There is also the matter of price... Most people are charging a $25 setup fee, plus $10-$15 an hour machine time, and that would likely take around 15 hours. So your cheap, one time use gun would cost you at least $175 plus shipping (disregarding the firearms manufacturer license). You can buy a used gun and ammunition for that and it will actually shoot the entire box and then some.

Mostly though, I'm just not going there. If you want a gun, go through a background check and buy a gun the right way. Preferably one that won't kill you.

I thought the print time on the little one was around an 2 hours. The lower would easily be 15 hours, maybe even a day depending on the printer

Honestly, I haven't looked at the internals. Print time also depends on desired finish.

Even if it was $45 to make, it's still $45 per shot with a high risk of personal injury.

I get why they are doing it, I just wish people were more informed about the legalities and risks involved.

It's become way over sensationalized.
The only thing this really effects is manufacturers, who are the ones behind most of the uproar.

Don't believe it when they say you can build one for $500 (unless you are talking Euros). I'm not saying you can't but you will be cutting some important corners and replacing parts very soon or you have someone flowing you some quite expensive parts for nothing. The kits for sale that seem over priced compared to build your own, aren't nearly as over priced as you might initially think. Save yourself the headaches and hassle and go that route. You will eat up a lot of that difference in shipping, and all of it in research.

It usually takes about $300 just for the motors and control board, and there is a whole lot more to get.

Oh okay, new old stock. They seem to be phasing out the second gen at this point as well.

Those are all based on the older Cartesian design, that was one of the original designs for printers, and it's a simpler system to get dialed in since each axis is handled separately. The newer Deltas are more fickle to tune, but generally offer equal or better speed, accuracy and build volume, along with a smaller footprint.

I primarily wanted the extra build volume, but the second biggest factor was seeing how a Delta works. Not the best reasoning, but it was a newer design and one that is still making great strides in development (Cartesian development has slowed). The latest improvements on quality and speed killed any doubt about my choice. Even if it is 15% over budget.

Actually, DT 770 M has significantly worse sound then Pro, it's made specifically for drummers. I should be getting a new cable for HD 25-13, so I guess I'll return/resell the beyers, and eventually replace headphones I keep at home with a new pair of DT 770/990 Pro, because the build quality, comfort and sound signature have impressed me.

Post by: Melvang on Thu, 20 June 2013, 08:04:31: I did check out that band Cpt. The music itself was amazing but the vocals were a bit to harsh for me. I prefer more along the lines of Rammstein, old school Metallica (pre-self titled album), love Halestorm, and a few bits and pieces from Texas Hippie Coalition.

Are you a Maiden fan at all? My favorite metal band hands down. And haha, is there any other Metallica? :P

Off to the dealership to haggle a bit on a car. Need to get the monthly payment down a little bit. The car is a 2006 Lucerne CXL with 90k miles. They are asking a shade under $12k for it.

It's a bit expensive for 460w at $110... but I was drawn in by the fact it's all passive, fully modular and one of the most efficient PSU on the market right now.
Also recently picked up cheap MSI P55GD5 and Xeon X3460 combo off ebay, and got some nice clearance sale stuff at performance-pcs Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2, some fans and a few more Akasa proslim sata cables.

About the trackball... Don't expect much. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect its sensitivity sucks, based on my previous experience with fit-in-the-rack keyboards.

FWIW, buttons are crap (surprisingly, because touchpad buttons were excellent on other Cherry boards I've used) and sensitivity suffices only if you use XGA or worse screen resolution.

It's amazing how almost linear, but not really there, used browns feel. OTOH, I don't get the grey switch under spacebar. It's ridiculous.

18x12x6in, capable of circuit boards, brass, acrylic and aluminum. I'm sure I'll find something to make with it.
