JayDuggerGood morning, everyone.06:17
Utopiahmorning JayDugger06:18
Utopiahby any chance , do you know a book on the history of the research laboratory so not necessarly focusing on the scientific method only but also through its tool, the social organisation, etc06:19

JayDuggerI only remember reading a history of one of the national labs, Lawrence, I think. It was a bit self-serving--look at all these cool things we built.06:19
JayDuggerlet me do some looking...06:20

UtopiahI doubt Lawrence lab was founded hundreds of years ago and spawn accross domains though so I guess it would lack perspective06:21

fennbusiness as usual18:21
genehackerdon't they have zach?18:23
genehackerwho's responsible for making reprap electronics obsolete every couple of months or so18:24
fennzach18:24
fenni think he's distracted with web stuff18:24

fennJayDugger: about 2 months18:44
fennfrom scratch18:44
JayDugger"from scratch," "two months": from sitting down to list parts, through ordering and arrival, to the first printed part?18:44
fennstarted working on it around april 118:45
fennhasn't printed its first part yet18:46
JayDuggerHow many hours of time have you spent on it?18:46
fennuh, do you really want to know or just curious18:46
JayDuggerI ask to help make my decision between a RepRap and a MakerBot.18:46
fennget a techzone lasercut mendel18:46
JayDuggerIIRC, those cost more.18:46
fennbest of both worlds18:47
JayDuggerWhat do I get for it that a MakerBot doesn't provide?18:47
fennget it cut at ponoko or something if you dont like the price18:47
fennhow could it possibly cost more than $800?18:47
fennffs18:47
JayDuggerIf the euro keeps declining, then it might cost less.18:47
fennit's a bucket of bolts18:47
fenntechzone is based out of iowa or something like that18:47
JayDuggerOh? My mistake. I thought of some other company.18:48
JayDuggerhttp://reprapsource.com/en/shop/shapercube18:49
JayDuggerThat's who I thought you meant. EUR822.69, sans S&H, sans VAT.18:50
fenntechzone is $842 + $46 shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Laser-Cut-RepRap-Mendel-Kit_W0QQitemZ300431023438QQihZ020QQcategoryZ294QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem18:51
fennhis z/x axis kinda sucks though, i would make replacement parts asap18:52
fennif you're willing to wait a few months you can beta test my mini mendel18:54

kanzureexcept at a cheaper price18:55
kanzurewhat do you think?18:55
klafkais the pound dropping?18:56
fennhope it's a lot cheaper, and better come with control cabinet and working software. a bare robot arm is really a boat anchor18:56
fennwhat would you do with it anyway?18:56
fennfinish the damn mechmate, that's actually useful18:56
JayDuggerklafka, I think the EUR and the US$ head for a more even exchange rate, but IANAT.19:01
JayDuggerWhat use do you have for a mechanical arm, kanzure?19:02
klafkaJayDugger, but i have to buy a like 300 pound item19:03
klafkaso i want the pound to fall relative to the dollar19:04

fennthere are many cooler things in that building than a t-rex23:53
fennthis is the only thing they would let us take pictures of: http://fennetic.net/irc/google_spaceship_one.jpg23:55

fennoh well23:56
fenni really liked the google earth cave23:57
fennimagine a sphere made out of lcd panels with a 6DOF joystick in the middle23:57
fennyou stand inside this thing, when you rotate the joystick it rotates the view, translate the joystick it translates the view, up/down controls altitude like you'd expect23:58
fenni started out somewhere in kazakhstan and zoomed my way to the exact building we were in23:58
