Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.

Up late; long day of slugging, prodding at the reprap with
E. on hand to help press buttons and make suitable encouraging
noises. Z axis coupler managed to come loose, and drop the x
carriage complete with heated nozzle into the bed burning a
beautiful nozzle-shaped hole through my acrylic covering of
the bed), fun.
-
Discovered that PLA's adhesion to acrylic is strongly
based on how high the nozzle is above the bed as it extrudes,
presumably melting the PLA into the acrylic creates a bond
stronger then the PLA itself.
-
Prodded at openscad gingerly; and sent my first openscad
patch for Greg Frost's Accessible Wade
extruder - to parameterise the extruder recess and add set-screws
to it.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
