genehacker2*cell00:00
genehacker2and assembly00:00
fennyeah it's called a metrology frame00:00
fennwhy re-fixture when you can do it in place00:00
fennanyway that's getting ahead of ourselves00:01
fennnobody is doing hobby-level CMM that i know of00:01
genehacker2what about when you're assembling multiple parts?00:03
genehacker2so the idea is, here's some cad files for an iron man suit go build them robots00:08

genehacker2so all those pallet changing mills start milling pieces for the suit, transfer them to a transfer system to the assembling station where they're assembled00:10
genehacker2Today two or more CNC machines are considered a flexible cell and two ore more cells are considered a flexible manufacturing system.00:11
genehacker2Thus, a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) consists of several machine tools along with part and tool handling devices such as robots, arranged so that it can handle any family of parts for which it has been designed and developed. 00:11

kanzuregermany's first fablab: http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fablab00:14
genehacker2we really need one here...00:15
kanzurei'm not so sure what i want any more: something mobile, or something in one place, and if it's in one place, where do i want it?00:16
genehacker2why do you want a mobile fab lab?00:17
kanzurebecause being stuck in one spot sucks00:17
kanzurebut to be honest i don't really move much00:17
kanzurebut maybe i don't move because it's so annoyingly difficult? whatever00:17
genehacker2so first off what do you need for a fab lab?00:17
genehacker2and is it impractical to move by road00:18
genehacker2would you need a convoy full of fablab equipment to move a fablab00:19
kanzureno, CBA did one in a trailer00:19
kanzurebut it was kind of cramped and honestly i don't think it had everything00:19
kanzureit looked like it was just an epilog laser.. but what do i know00:19
genehacker2so what advantages does a mobile fab lab have?00:20
kanzureyou're not stuck00:20
genehacker2and?00:20
genehacker2so how do people find the mobile fab lab?00:21
kanzureit's probably stuck in a parking lot somewhere now00:21
kanzurebut it was active in 200700:21
kanzurethere's a youtube video about it 00:21
kanzurehttp://youtube.com/user/kanzure has it listed somewhere00:21
genehacker2I saw the video00:22
genehacker2where does the fab lab park?00:22
kanzurei don't know, otherwise i'd go hijack it's ass :)00:22
kanzureits'00:22
kanzureer00:22
kanzureit's00:22
fenndoesn't seem very flexible if everything has to be a cube00:24
genehacker2are you perhaps trying to make a mobile war robot factory?00:24
kanzureno go away00:24
genehacker2there would be advantages to making that mobile00:24
genehacker2perhaps a fab lab would be useful for holding hackerspace meetings anywhere00:25
genehacker2so I guess there can be advantages00:26
fennthe important thing i think is to separate mass and function, so you can throw away the mass when its time to transport00:26
fennthat's what i did with the gingery.. built a big chunk of concrete to sit on00:27
fennof course volume is a problem too, but less so since you can usually disassemble things for better packing00:27
genehacker2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_fab_lab00:27
genehacker2inventory00:27
fennooo so impressive "The custom cabinetry within the trailer is an example of a lab producing a part of another lab."00:28
kanzureandrew wants to do HCL+microprocessors to make some money off of the gold00:28
fennDIY cabinets!00:28
* fenn forgot the snark marks00:28
genehacker2oh dear00:28
genehacker2that can get pretty messy00:28
kanzureyeah i'm trying to tell him he's a moron00:29
genehacker2why not just vaporize them with intense sunlight and extract all useful elements00:29
genehacker2there isn't much gold in microchips00:30
fennhow come nobody has made a hektor inkjet wall printer yet?00:30
genehacker2http://www.theuncommonsenseblog.com/blog.asp?id=17900:31
genehacker2BUY UP MICROCHIPS SELL THEM WHEN YOU ARE LOW ON CASH00:32
kanzuredoes inkjet work upside down and sideways?00:32
kanzureQuantumG: any hints? has NASA flown up an inkjet or laserjet yet00:32
genehacker2yes00:33
genehacker2they ahve00:33
kanzureer, s/laserjet/laser printer/00:33
genehacker2actually got to see one about to go to the space station and I asked them about it00:33
fenngenehacker2: that was the stupidest article i've read in a long time. thanks.00:33
genehacker2no modifications except for a coating on the electronics to prevent accumulated moisture from mucking things up00:34
genehacker2you're welcome00:34
genehacker2kanzure if the droplets are small enough it shouldn't matter00:35
QuantumGkanzure: I believe there is a color printer on-orbit00:36
QuantumGthey're always going on about using up the color ink00:36
QuantumGno idea if it is inkjet :)00:36
genehacker2I think the one I saw was an inkjet00:37
kanzureoh man00:37
genehacker2not sure though00:37
kanzurehe's playing with sulfuric acid and 99% HCL00:37
kanzure16M HCL00:37
kanzureok not 99%00:37
genehacker2who's doing this?00:37
kanzureandrew00:38
kanzureyounger brother of mine00:38
genehacker2why?00:38
genehacker2to make money?00:38
kanzurehe has access to chemicals through his high school00:38
genehacker2or just to dissolve the chip?00:38

Utopiahfaceface: about the open chain?13:20
Utopiahregarding your http://www.slideshare.net/danbolser/wikipedia-and-the-global-brain you might like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-species_foraging_flock if you didn't know it yet13:22

facefaceUtopiah: nice13:30
facefacebacterial films are the same13:30
facefacefilms are collective behaviour in bacteria that is highly relevant to antibiotic resistance and other 'big' problems13:31
facefacegenerally they form the film as a mix of species13:31
Utopiahfaceface: oh, since you said retweets I thought you meant actually on twitter and since I talked about open manufacting (as a part of the overall production chain) I guessed it was related, but you actually meant on IRC for bugmenot13:33

danielcchows everyone today?21:03
danielccah21:03
danielccyes21:03
danielccreverse electroplating21:03
kanzureoops21:03
danielccbasicly you use electricity and a electrolyte to etch away a material21:03
danielccyou can be as precise or damaging as you want21:04
danielcchere is a poorly done example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OInsU-DFgY21:05
danielccanyhow21:05
danielccyou can fit a small needle onto a cnc and carve out what ever the hell you want21:05
danielccinterestingly it is also a good way to recover gold and other precious metals21:07
kanzuregenehacker: you around?21:21

genehackerit's not electroplating machining it's called21:39
genehackerlet me dig out my book21:39
danielccnothing the captain cant fix lol21:39
genehackershaped tube electrolyte machining21:40
genehackerit's a form of electrochemical machining21:41
genehackeroh dang21:41
genehackertheo gray did that21:41
danielccindeed21:41
genehackernow where the heck is my popular science I know I'm subscribed to it, but it never shows up...21:42
danielccim thinking using something like a hypodermic needle21:43
danielccfor precision work21:43
danielccjust use low voltage high amp21:43
genehackerso here's what i've heard21:43
genehackerstainless steel doesn't do so well electrochemically21:44
genehackersomething about the chlorine or something like that21:44
genehackerbut it's worth a try, I've been wanting to do the exact same thing21:44
danielcci hear it makes some nasty fumes21:44
genehackerthough you might not want to use a hypodermic needle, those things are sharp21:44
danielccwell21:45
danielccsomething allong the lines21:45
danielccthing thing tube21:45
danielccyou can grind or cut the tip off21:45
genehackerpah, just direct the fumes through something highly basic like limestone to neutralize the HCl21:45
genehackerhypodermic needles are hard to buy21:45
genehackerbuy blunt tiped dispensing needles instead21:45
genehackerhttp://www.zeph.com/applicator_tips.htm21:46
genehackerI bought some for a flamethrower21:46
danielccnot really. any farm supply store has them for roughly 50 cents a piece.21:47
