whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: have you ever found any accomodation? | 16:30 |
---|---|---|
DocScrutinizer05 | in HH? sorry I can't make it | 16:31 |
whitequark | aww | 16:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I wonder if a flight for Saturday morning and back on Sunday noon was maybe worth it. No hotel, I could stay up over the night | 16:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | this would limit the whole expense to a quite manageable ~250 bucks | 16:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | plus ticket for the event | 16:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but then, while it's manageable expense, it's questionable benefit for Neo900 | 16:42 |
whitequark | I see | 16:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | unless of course I could make some new contacts, e.g. for 3D wizards who could produce the spacer frame for us | 16:43 |
whitequark | hm, what spacer frame? | 16:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/spacerframe/sketch.pdf | 16:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the case extender which allows us to make the thing a 2.8mm thicker | 16:46 |
whitequark | so you want it designed in CAD | 16:46 |
whitequark | and presumably made of... of what? | 16:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | abs? | 16:46 |
whitequark | oh, so 3D printing | 16:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | whatever works | 16:47 |
whitequark | unless you have some uber cool 3d printer, it will look and feel like shit | 16:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | CNC milling, 3G printing | 16:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yup, prolly | 16:47 |
whitequark | SLS would work (not abs though), makerbot-level things definitely will not | 16:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 16:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm no expert of those mech things | 16:48 |
whitequark | and milling it sounds like you'd have to throw out 99% of material | 16:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but I think making it of whatever plastic, with CNC, is probably the best option | 16:49 |
whitequark | complex shape too... | 16:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 16:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I don't care much about the 99% throw out material | 16:50 |
whitequark | semi-related, I just received my HDPE sheets | 16:50 |
whitequark | they do not feel anything like any other polyethylene I've seen at all | 16:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | after all it's still a sheet of just 65 * 120 * 3.5mm | 16:51 |
whitequark | hm | 16:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | doesn't matter when you cut 99% of material away from it | 16:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | (I however guess it's only 70%) | 16:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, maybe 80 | 16:52 |
wpwrak | (spacer) i suppose neither side is completely flat, i.e., only broken by holes but without lowered "plateaus" or such ? | 23:59 |
