2012-10-06 03:13 <wpwrak> pabs3: makerbot's fused deposit modeling systems are rapidly becoming obsolete. technology is moving elsewhere, e.g., to stereolithography / solid imaging
2012-10-06 03:16 <wpwrak> faster and more precise. still a but pricy with those projectors, but people are beginning to figure out how to use lasers. so prices should come down. one obstacle are the secret resin formulas. but the sooner or later someone will figure out how to make generic resins, too.

2012-10-06 03:51 <roh> wpwrak: just wait... stl iss still expensive by a factor of 3-10 compared to fdm
2012-10-06 03:52 <roh> simply because of the special chemicals.. and their availability and colors still suck. we'll see
2012-10-06 03:52 <roh> wpwrak: you know about form1?
2012-10-06 03:54 <roh> basically a stl attempt with laser as lightsource

2012-10-06 10:15 <wpwrak> i'd also expect lasers to make the chemicals easier. more energy -> easier formula

2012-10-06 13:41 <wpwrak> roh: popfab looks nice :) i think fdm may eventually develop into something similar like ink printing, which will give you good resolution. but you'll have all the problems of ink printers, particularly proprietary ink that's intimately linked with the delivery system. stl doesn't have this inherent dependency, which should make it much easier to make generic "ink".
2012-10-06 13:57 GNUtoo-desktop has joined #qi-hardware
2012-10-06 14:51 <roh> wpwrak: well.. on fdm there are no inkjet-like problems anymore
2012-10-06 14:52 <roh> the parts are known and documented and the material is nothing magic and expensive. abs and pla are cheaper than anybody who is able to use a printer by far (or the cad/cam part)
2012-10-06 14:56 pcercuei has joined #qi-hardware
2012-10-06 14:56 <roh> meh. now i even did a modular version of my muxing board and still can't afford to go on. sucks
2012-10-06 14:57 <wpwrak> yeah, fdm has these advantages. but it's low-resolution and is doesn't scale too well, being a one-dimensional method to solve 2-3 dimensional problems
2012-10-06 14:58 <roh> its ok for functional prototyping. for production its way to expensive, same as stl
2012-10-06 14:59 <wpwrak> fdm also needs a reasonably strong 3-axis system. not quite a mill, but similar. stl is much simpler in that regard. so i'd expect hw prices to come down quite a bit.
2012-10-06 14:59 <roh> the mechanics funnily isnt the issue
2012-10-06 14:59 <wpwrak> oh, mass production is a different issue :)
2012-10-06 14:59 <roh> it seems software has way more influence than one would think
2012-10-06 14:59 <wpwrak> heh, that too :)
2012-10-06 15:00 <roh> basically the progress in the last 2 years were mostly software. the mechanics were only refining to more reliable versions, no real new concepts
2012-10-06 15:01 <roh> also not really needed. stratasys also does abs-fdm and there is still a bit of stuff to optimize
2012-10-06 15:02 <roh> we just updated the firmware on the arduino of one of our machines last night and that helped a lot to reduce resonances and vibrations
2012-10-06 15:03 <wpwrak> see. stl only has to worry about such things in one dimension. and there are only one-way movements there. very simple.
2012-10-06 15:03 <roh> heh. one would think. i bet there are also weird pros and cons
2012-10-06 15:04 <roh> i could imagine that on a tilting boat stl would be at a disadvantage to fdm (which works impressivly well up to 45deg)
2012-10-06 15:04 <wpwrak> i think one should try to build an stl printer using a blue-ray burner. relatively cheap mass-produced hardware. and the beam has a high energy (high frequency), which should help a lot with the photochemicals
2012-10-06 15:04 <roh> given you have oversized mechanics like we do
2012-10-06 15:05 <wpwrak> hmm. not sure. the active area i stl is still 2D, just at the bottom of the tank
2012-10-06 15:05 <roh> the form1 machine had quite some complex mechanics for the laser.. galvos i guess... not sure how that works
2012-10-06 15:05 <wpwrak> if you want, you can close the tank. then you could even reverse the thing ;-)
2012-10-06 15:06 <wpwrak> that's typical for designs coming from academia. they're used to "first principles" instruments
2012-10-06 15:06 <wpwrak> (which makes sense)
2012-10-06 15:06 <wpwrak> if you goal is "cheap", things change
2012-10-06 15:07 <roh> true. i guess on the long run dlp could be cheaper (still with limited resolution)
2012-10-06 15:07 <roh> simply because one doesnt need expensive galvos for the laser
2012-10-06 15:07 <roh> only one simple focus plane and done
2012-10-06 15:23 <wpwrak> dlp ? you mean projectors ?
2012-10-06 15:27 <wpwrak> my ideas go in the direction of combining a blue-ray drive with a mirror. use the spindle to rotate the mirror, basically like in a laser printer. use the radial drive to move the laser and reuse the laser. that should give some 2D coverage, one axis by moving the radial drive, the other by selecting the time according to the position of the mirror (needs some photo detector for calibration)
2012-10-06 15:29 <wpwrak> the problems would be mainly the shaping of the mirror and the shaping of the beam. while maintaining a sufficient energy level for the photochemical reaction.
2012-10-06 15:37 <roh> quite some mechanical details to solve
2012-10-06 15:40 <qi-bot> [commit] Paul Cercueil: menu.cpp: Don't use stat() to know if a FS entry is a directory (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/gmenu2x/4070644
2012-10-06 15:42 <larsc> funny we just yesterday had a discussion if there is a better way to ignore subdirectories when walking a directory using readdir() than using stat()
2012-10-06 15:45 <pcercuei> I don't know
2012-10-06 15:46 <pcercuei> if you care about re-entrancy, readdir() is quite a pain to use
2012-10-06 15:46 <pcercuei> well readdir_r()
2012-10-06 15:47 <pcercuei> ah sorry
2012-10-06 15:47 <pcercuei> read wrong
2012-10-06 16:01 <pcercuei> when I do C++ string = const char *
2012-10-06 16:01 <pcercuei> is the string duplicated?
2012-10-06 16:03 <lindi-> pcercuei: well the docs say "initialized to a copy of .."?
2012-10-06 16:06 <pcercuei> lindi-: ok, thanks
