Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] URGENT: 3d printer problems
Message-ID: <58BB5970.6070400@aurinia.co.uk>

I have just spent a frustrating evening trying to get either of the 3d 
printers working,

1. How do I get started with the reprap. I did the induction. I don't 
know what is necessary to get the printer started. For example how to 
power it and control it white starting it up and feeding in the filament,.

2, Ceri's printer is a masterpiece of design. I am always pointing it 
out to new people as a good example of lateral thinking as it is made of 
wood.
However, I failed to get it going. After creating my file and putting it 
on the card. The next step is to scroll through a menu.
There isn't one. All I get is a message on screen saying the card has 
been inserted. I have tried twiddling the knob and pressing the little 
switch and even touching the screen all to no avail. The instructions 
actually don't say how to scroll through the menu anyway.

I would appreciate speedy assistance please.

I'd be happy to help on producing improved instructions once I get 
something working. It would also be useful to have someone who doesn't 
yet have detailed experience to assist in trying them out.

Would it be useful for the space to have its own Youtube account?

Follow the power cable from the bottom corner of the printer to the
silver psu, make sure its plugged in.

control is via the website:
remote:?http://reprap.swansea.hackspace.org.uk
local:?http://192.168.50.5

using the ip address is often faster.

the controls from there should be familiar.

You have to push the knob in the activate/select things, twiddle it to
change selection.

Please do.

The entire website is a wiki, much of it is editable by members,
improving the guides that are there is helpfuil to everyone.

just shout at me if you dont have an 'Edit' link on the relevant page.

I had a little issue with getting the first layer down when I was trying to use Ceri's printer on Tuesday night, the menu system was working correctly.

Ceri,  if I can make it in Monday,  with your permission I would like to replace the tie wraps that hold the bed to the Z rails. Would you be available for video chat if I get stuck?

Re YouTube instructions:

During the induction I recorded a lot of to footage as reference for making member only video tutorials, unfortunately my SD card corrupted and the video is lost. I will get round to making videos as I do things on each machine, this may take a while as family commitments take most of my time.

Last night I realised my 64Gb micro SD was not in my phone, if anyone happens to spot it around the 3D printers or over by the small paper printer please let me know.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Warning! Ceri's 3d printer
Message-ID: <1488734882.58bc4aa2993c1@swift.generated>

This is a warning to anyone who tries to use Ceris printer not to do so unless they know how to fix the state it is in.

It has gone wrong and I am afraid damage will be done if it is just switched on,

I tried to use it to print a file from Thingiverse and it started to move the head and went to the edge and pressed down hard tilting the bed and vibrating.

I switched it of fearing it would be damaged. I tried switching it on and using the menus in the hope I could remedy this and it started vibrating again.

Looking at it the head has gone beyond the edge of the bed and downwards and is caught there.

I have placed a warning notice on the machine.

I dont think it is damaged . I think it is just a matter of raising the head but I dont want to attempt anything else unless I know for certain how to remedy the problem and I advise others do likewise.

I dont know what caused this. I followed all the steps and checked the Gcode.

Neil

Found this for free in Port Tennant,  needs gone ASAP.

lady is home at 18:30 tomorrow but it's 3 floors up with no lift, is anyone able to collect?

If it wasn't for needing to be home by 6 I would have collected and taken it to the space on my bike trailer, not exactly far and I've taken larger and heavier loads, but time won't allow me tomorrow.

Hi Neil,

new member here - I had my first exposure to the 3d printer last week under
Dave's supervision and as I remember the controls on Ceri's machine the
twiddly knob also clicks to select, is the switch you mean? I am sure
someone who actually knows what they are talking about will be along to
answer your question soon. I didn't use the Reprap at all so can't help you
there but If you do go ahead and create a start up guide I'd be happy to
try it out for you.

Also if the management do decide to set up a youtube channel I'd be happy
to help out with the filming and editing. At this point I'm going to drop
in a blantant plug for my own channel

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnpjPD29-EwONSt8vP5z2nQ

Hey Jon,  Peter has contacted me about maybe collecting it today, not sure if he can or not yet.

I'm on for Tuesday night.

Message-ID: <CAKQVUCexSx1cWr6YpgbTM8pkDBR3EcqtMs+KPBpSD=MK=u0fWQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Long-term lurker, recent member. I'm looking for some help to replace three
components in a PSU for a BBC Master - three capacitors are nearing the end
of their life and there have been incidents over the past few years of BBC
Micros catching fire when powered up (e.g. https://goo.gl/gHW9ok )

I have the components and full instructions, which boil down to 'desolder,
then resolder', but haven't done any soldering this millennium, and my sole
attempt at desoldering many decades ago resulted in several tracks being
lifted off the PCB. Would someone be able to help, or better yet, do the
job? Happy to pay, either the person doing it, or via a donation to
Hackspace or another mutually agreed charity.

And if you have a BBC Micro/Master, you're really very strongly advised not
to turn it on till you re-cap the PSU. Kit available here

Hi Rhys,  more than happy to do it for you, or replace one and supervise you doing the other 2 at hackspace on Monday night.

I'll pass that PSU info on to my friend that has one.

All the best, Dave.

They normally just pour out smoke but the room stinks for days
afterwards.

Assuming it's the later PSU (switched mode one) I've done a couple of
these. The hardest bit is actually getting the power supply out and apart
because it's got several plastic bits designed to clip in permanently.

As well as the capacitors you'll also need something to re-fix the earth
lead with (it's painted with gunge to keep it from ever coming off the
PSU case but you'll need to undo it to fix the PSU). Otherwise it's
fairly easy, but you need to check the earths to the PSU case are
properly attached and you should test the earths after it's all back
together because the design relies on that lead being secure for safety.

If you get stuck I can help but there is or was a person on the
internet to whom you can send your PSU and he'll send you a fixed one
back for quite a reasonable price.

a working (logitech z213) 2.1 system that needs a 1/8 inch jack replacing,
a Philips set of multimedia speakers with a broken jack and no power

Free to anyone who can use them. I can either bring them to the space or
you can pickup from mine in Cockett. Obviously I would rather someone took
the lot but you can pick and choose if you must.

Hello,

We now have an Instagram account for the hackspace. It's @swanseahack
If you are an Instagram user give it a follow and it will follow you back!
I volunteered to help running it as I have some experience with Instagram.
The idea is to feature the projects we are making at the space, advertise
and hopefully encourage people to join!
As such I will occasionally photograph projects on Mondays with the
intention to upload them during the week.

If you want to keep your project secret let me know so I won't take a
picture.
If you want to showcase your creations give me a shout on Mondays (I am
there most Mondays after 8.30).

Best
Sophia

Great work!

Nice to see more photos of what a bustling active space it is these
days, also great to see a little of what projects people are working
on.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Old rack servers
Message-ID: <20170319144716.5102525a@www.etchedpixels.co.uk>

If anyone would like a new toy I have a few rack mount servers sitting
here surplus to any requirement.

Several HP G360's (V5 later board), a Dell 2850, 2950. All have some
drives although the best way to run them fast is to stick an M.2 SSD or
NVME in one of the PCI-E slots on the riser instead !

All currently have one CPU installed. CPU's are mostly Xeon 5300 era,
although the G360's will take a pair of 5420's or some of the other 5400
processors providing the firmware is updated. All have ILO or DRAC remote
management.

Machines are free - you collect, I have some rails for the G360's but
unlike the computers the rails are actually worth something if you need a
set.

Alan

Hi Allan, would the rack mount casings take non server motherboard?

I'm helping a l friend who needs to rack mount a high end gaming setup for portability, he is happy to bring it to the space for us all to have a play with, maybe even host an OCCULS RIFT experience event.

Hi Allan, I may be interested in some of the hardware. Where about are you? I may be able to collect them this afternoon.

Best,
Gwion.

Maybe but a 1U case won't take the GPUs and they don't have the GPU power for the high end cards.

There are some supermicro cases that do or you could build it all into one of the generic 3U cases given enough fans.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Got some wooden pallets to bring in,

Message-ID: <CACs+WPHpc-VpnA+2ZzOuOw4DiCFLSN=pgUKbAo5G2jUBGrw+Fg@mail.gmail.com>

Snagged some freebies from work, three mini pallets. The plan was to make a
cabinet to put the fridge on - so it's at a better height to use, and for
stock storage below. Should be doable in a couple hours tops.

They will easily fit on a back seat, a lift from Morriston would be really
helpful. I'd rather not take them on the bus! Any time suits me. Cheers.

Hi guys sorry for the late reply, was working last night and needed a quick
4 hour power nap! I'm free all afternoon and earlier would be better so
there's less people about while I'm sawing and drilling etc. So maybe if
you could do some time after 4pm Jon? Doesn't really matter, whenever suits
you. Thanks both for the offer. :)

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Is it possible to bypass the CNC computer?
Message-ID: <CACs+WPGaBdewtw4-QuFdYPRufwG9JSVbtDUNMuYmaPpy7wFVnw@mail.gmail.com>

Right now it's frozen with the hdd thrashing, seemingly a result of four
firefox tabs being left open. Any objections to just plugging my laptop
into the arduino control board via usb and sending gcode directly? Mainly
for speed/convenience, but also so I can try bCNC - it has a tool offset
feature which UGS lacks.

I managed to do a successful facing cut and a multi-depth pocket cut from
Fusion360, the delrin machines really nicely. Also ordered a low-profile
mini vice for work holding.

Never mind, figured it out. bCNC works really well with our machine if
anyone wants a demo.

Very cool, would you want to make a printer or just a hang plotter on the
blackboard? That thing looks like it takes up a lot of space!
I'd rather do a plotter myself, would be awesome to make a chalk/pen
changer to do multi-colour drawing.
