mornin'
<Regenaxer>
☺/ Nistur
<Nistur>
how goes things?
<beneroth>
Niiiisssstttuuuuurrrr!
<beneroth>
Regenaxer and tankf33der completed pil21 :))
<Nistur>
woo! \o/
<Regenaxer>
:)
<Nistur>
That's awesome :D
<Regenaxer>
Any bug reports or comments about the docs welcome! (docs not finished though)
<Nistur>
I have very little time, buuuuuuuut it's definitely something I'll be looking into shortly :)
<Nistur>
however, Regenaxer... you know I was working on the physical penti keyboard? Well, as with a lot of my projects recently, I've had to put it on hiatus because everything kind of happened at once... buuuuut... I got a new toy a couple of weeks ago
<Nistur>
this will definitely help me make the keyboard :P
<Regenaxer>
A kind of kit?
<Nistur>
it's a 3D printer
<Nistur>
that was just a photo I had sent to a friend, I printed out a batch of Star Trek communicator badges... because reasons
<Regenaxer>
ah
<Nistur>
but yeah, the MDF buck I made of the keyboard, I was going to make moulds of it and cast the actual keyboard shell
<beneroth>
clever aaproach
<Nistur>
which would have worked... but has some issues... now I'm going to use... VisualSFM to scan in my keyboard, and make a model of it, then print out the shell
<Regenaxer>
Looks professional
<Nistur>
I think, considering I was going for an ergonomic design, the MDF model was definitely correct, because it let me feel the shape of things as it was coming together, but yeah, I think the printer will make producing it better and easier
<Nistur>
Regenaxer: it's a Creality Ender 3 Pro. It's an open source printer, around... £170... so pretty much the budget end of the spectrum (compared with, for example, the Lulzbot Taz with a base model costing $2950) but it has really good reviews, is really easy to set up, and has loads of mods and upgrades, a lot of them you can print on the printer itself, so I'm definitely enjoying it
<Nistur>
so it's not professional, but still good enough for me :P
<Regenaxer>
Looks very good
<Regenaxer>
Smooth surfaces
<Nistur>
it also makes it easier because, I was talking to someone in my local linux user group, who can only type with his left hand, and was looking for a solution... so I could print him a keyboard, but I'm making a right handed one, so I just need to flip it in software before I print it and it should 'just work'
<Nistur>
while, making a left handed one physically would be... painful :P
<Nistur>
and the software to get super pretty prints, but yep
<beneroth>
how long takes a typical print size?
<Nistur>
beneroth: the cat took 4h, the Star Trek communicators and phaser took... 15h... but that was highest quality and I think 60% infill (it usually prints a wall, and then honeycomb, or other pattern on the inside, the wall is I think as default something like 2mm...)
<Nistur>
so, certainly not fast
<Nistur>
but for most of the things I've printed this week, I've left it going overnight and come back to it being done in the morning :P
<beneroth>
sounds good enough

yup, certainly :)
<Nistur>
this weekend, I'm going to install (and print) some upgrades, then probably print a 3D scanning turntable and maybe by next weekend be able to scan in my keyboard... at which point I cry because I realise that I cannot do any 3D modelling, so cannot manipulate it to get it ready to print :D
<Nistur>
I've been playing around with OpenSCAD for some other things I want to print, but I don't think I can do something as organically shaped as the keyboard in that
<beneroth>
KitCAD is supposed to be good
<Nistur>
KitCAD appears to be kitchen design
<Nistur>
KiCAD is PCB design?
