[2018-01-14 20:03:00 CET] there is sound. [2018-01-14 20:03:24 CET] OK, I will open in another player [2018-01-14 20:03:29 CET] this is my zeddy with h4th rom and external vdrive. [2018-01-14 20:03:43 CET] the speech pgm is running. [2018-01-14 20:04:19 CET] some text was loaded into the ram and the pgm is printing and reading it. [2018-01-14 20:05:17 CET] this answers your question for my speech project. [2018-01-14 20:05:20 CET] It was opening in windows media - Its OK in VLC [2018-01-14 20:05:34 CET] And its cool, something speech? [2018-01-14 20:06:19 CET] some poem [2018-01-14 20:07:10 CET] the pgm is nalyzing the word and decides the pronounciation. [2018-01-14 20:07:25 CET] I know it satrts something like "one is" but I cant make out next word or see the screen [2018-01-14 20:07:45 CET] Morgens/ [2018-01-14 20:08:54 CET] no morgens. [2018-01-14 20:09:47 CET] right. [2018-01-14 20:09:57 CET] eines morgens ... [2018-01-14 20:10:04 CET] One morning the mage? spoke [2018-01-14 20:10:17 CET] some morning [2018-01-14 20:11:10 CET] made, which is maggot [2018-01-14 20:11:15 CET] Brilliant, who would have though a zeddy could do everything people like you are acheiving [2018-01-14 20:11:58 CET] do you know the currah speech if? [2018-01-14 20:12:16 CET] I have heard of it and seen adverts in magazines [2018-01-14 20:12:51 CET] Is that what you use/ [2018-01-14 20:12:57 CET] it was for speccy, but you have to prepare the text in advance. [2018-01-14 20:13:20 CET] to translate to phons. [2018-01-14 20:13:40 CET] i can use written texts. [2018-01-14 20:13:44 CET] So text to speech/ [2018-01-14 20:13:51 CET] yes. [2018-01-14 20:14:05 CET] BTW my ? key isnt always working and prints / [2018-01-14 20:14:23 CET] Does it read text from Vdrive [2018-01-14 20:14:26 CET] to do this for english might be even more dificult. [2018-01-14 20:14:39 CET] difficult [2018-01-14 20:15:27 CET] because you have set up german phrasing [2018-01-14 20:15:34 CET] yes. [2018-01-14 20:16:03 CET] Well if it can get round German english should be simples [2018-01-14 20:16:12 CET] ;) [2018-01-14 20:16:25 CET] one hs o look to a letter and the surrounding letters too. [2018-01-14 20:16:50 CET] english seems me more diff. [2018-01-14 20:17:09 CET] True, in english the pronounciation depends on context too [2018-01-14 20:17:24 CET] yes. [2018-01-14 20:17:35 CET] Like live = lieve or liv [2018-01-14 20:17:50 CET] tell me about your projects. [2018-01-14 20:18:33 CET] Ok, I have almost got eprom carriers finished. ordered 1mm header by mistake so waiting for 2.54mm ones to come [2018-01-14 20:19:16 CET] 3D printing back pane for ne keyboard, got the spacing correct for one row, but next row is out my 1 mm [2018-01-14 20:19:29 CET] do you know zif sockets? [2018-01-14 20:19:33 CET] so holes dont match next row of keys [2018-01-14 20:19:38 CET] Yes, I use them [2018-01-14 20:20:17 CET] do you have a 3d printer? [2018-01-14 20:20:50 CET] Yes [2018-01-14 20:20:59 CET] Its brilliant [2018-01-14 20:21:07 CET] are you satisfied with it? [2018-01-14 20:21:07 CET] Need any cases printed? [2018-01-14 20:21:36 CET] Very much so. Once I had worked out best temps for PLA+ its brilliant [2018-01-14 20:21:38 CET] may be, i will take it as an offer. [2018-01-14 20:22:05 CET] Sure, look on Thingiverse.com for pre-designed ones. [2018-01-14 20:22:21 CET] Or Tinkercad.com to design your own [2018-01-14 20:23:10 CET] how much did you pa for the printer? [2018-01-14 20:23:18 CET] pay [2018-01-14 20:23:31 CET] Just over 300 for Wanhao i3 Plus [2018-01-14 20:23:52 CET] But the price has gone up a little and i3 Plus V2 is due to be released [2018-01-14 20:24:06 CET] is it easy to handle? [2018-01-14 20:24:31 CET] A 1kg reel of fillament costs between 12 to 25.00 I pay 18.00 [2018-01-14 20:24:36 CET] Yes very easy [2018-01-14 20:24:53 CET] As I say, get the design from Thiniverse, load into Cura [2018-01-14 20:25:15 CET] Cura allows you to set up size, quality etc [2018-01-14 20:25:16 CET] can you you standard mterial? [2018-01-14 20:25:34 CET] Then slices the design and dumps to SD card [2018-01-14 20:26:03 CET] Thye SD card into the printer, select print and the file and wait until done [2018-01-14 20:26:16 CET] I use PLA+ which is easiest to print [2018-01-14 20:26:42 CET] Other fillament is stronger but gives off nasty fumes [2018-01-14 20:26:52 CET] the 1mm deviation: was it an mistke you did or a problem with the printer? [2018-01-14 20:27:03 CET] You also get wood, metal and carbon fibre impregnated fillament [2018-01-14 20:27:21 CET] But some needs a hardened nozzle to stop wear [2018-01-14 20:27:30 CET] sounds very interesr0ting. [2018-01-14 20:28:06 CET] It was me, I designed 1st row with 1, then 2 then 7 holes for the keys. Refining after each step. [2018-01-14 20:28:34 CET] Then I copied and laid below 1st row, but moved east a little. I was 1 mm out. [2018-01-14 20:28:53 CET] i see. [2018-01-14 20:28:55 CET] So next run will be 2x7 keys and should be OK. [2018-01-14 20:29:15 CET] Then I will use sizes to make half a keyboard base [2018-01-14 20:29:35 CET] i have seen the wanhao on he webb now. [2018-01-14 20:29:49 CET] There are two versions. [2018-01-14 20:30:00 CET] The best is 13 Plus. [2018-01-14 20:30:03 CET] for about 400eur. [2018-01-14 20:30:23 CET] Try Amazon, I got mine there from Sweded [2018-01-14 20:30:27 CET] Sweden [2018-01-14 20:30:43 CET] The prices at the time varied by up to 80.00 [2018-01-14 20:31:14 CET] i se. [2018-01-14 20:31:17 CET] see [2018-01-14 20:31:49 CET] Also, when you have one you can print parts to upgrade the printer [2018-01-14 20:32:19 CET] Such as fan shroud for better cooling, Z Braces to make it more secure, tool holders, spool holders [2018-01-14 20:32:28 CET] did you print somethin for liz ? [2018-01-14 20:32:45 CET] Yes, everyone got 3d prints at christmas. [2018-01-14 20:32:57 CET] nice. [2018-01-14 20:33:22 CET] My son is a pathologist and he got a large lego man with a cut away section shoing bones and organs [2018-01-14 20:33:46 CET] Liz got a lot of stuff for her fairy garden she is going to make in summer [2018-01-14 20:34:17 CET] Daughter got characters from some game she plays [2018-01-14 20:34:38 CET] what size? [2018-01-14 20:34:51 CET] Depends, lego man was about 100mm [2018-01-14 20:35:04 CET] But you can print up to 170mm [2018-01-14 20:35:06 CET] quite big. [2018-01-14 20:35:41 CET] Bigger takes longer because you increase the volume in three planes [2018-01-14 20:35:57 CET] did i tell you that i got a microdrive from new zealand? [2018-01-14 20:35:58 CET] The printer can do 200x200x170 [2018-01-14 20:36:11 CET] But its possible to print in parts [2018-01-14 20:36:23 CET] and then snap or glue them together [2018-01-14 20:36:30 CET] do yo use diff coulors? [2018-01-14 20:36:42 CET] I did a sabre tooth cat skull, smillodon [2018-01-14 20:36:53 CET] No I only have one extruder. [2018-01-14 20:37:21 CET] My sample with the printer was gold, then I got a real of white, now just started a new reel of gret [2018-01-14 20:37:38 CET] But you can paint them with acrylic paint [2018-01-14 20:37:52 CET] One cool thing is to make lithopanes. [2018-01-14 20:38:09 CET] Take a photo, convert to grey scale and increase contrast a bit [2018-01-14 20:38:33 CET] Print it out at 6 mm and it just looks like a square of bumpy plastic [2018-01-14 20:38:50 CET] Hold it to the light and you get the photo back [2018-01-14 20:39:07 CET] really funny. [2018-01-14 20:39:29 CET] People built light boxes where you can put 5 lithopanes onto them with an LED inside powered from USB cable/charger [2018-01-14 20:40:31 CET] That alone makes it worth while in womens eyes [2018-01-14 20:40:46 CET] Well Liz loved it [2018-01-14 20:40:59 CET] this is very important. [2018-01-14 20:41:19 CET] Oh yes, because they dont see our toys as being of any value [2018-01-14 20:41:46 CET] just junk to be cleared out at the first opportunity [2018-01-14 20:42:03 CET] so you swithed from coin rings to 3d printing. [2018-01-14 20:42:44 CET] swtched [2018-01-14 20:42:47 CET] No, my shed is upside down at the moment. I am still clearing it up [2018-01-14 20:43:03 CET] and its too cold to work outside and I cant hammer coins in the house [2018-01-14 20:43:30 CET] do you have snow? [2018-01-14 20:43:51 CET] frost? [2018-01-14 20:43:51 CET] We did, about 200 mm. its gone now for 2 weeks. [2018-01-14 20:44:09 CET] we did not have. [2018-01-14 20:44:10 CET] I ran Liz round her calls in my 4x4. I was impressed with it [2018-01-14 20:44:24 CET] but the temp is going down now. [2018-01-14 20:44:47 CET] We are getting warmer, and a little lighter at night when I go home. [2018-01-14 20:45:08 CET] I have 20 minutes of not totally dark when I start at 16:40 [2018-01-14 20:45:52 CET] The ground is drier too. Still muddy but not thick deep mud [2018-01-14 20:46:08 CET] and the wild boar are breeding already [2018-01-14 20:46:24 CET] That makes walks with the dog dangerous [2018-01-14 20:47:10 CET] in germany they will reduce the number of wild boar to one third. [2018-01-14 20:47:46 CET] They need to do that here. There ar etoo many and they are feeding right up to my back fence [2018-01-14 20:47:48 CET] cause of danger of swine fver. [2018-01-14 20:48:01 CET] fever [2018-01-14 20:48:06 CET] A guy got his finger bitten off a few days ago [2018-01-14 20:48:12 CET] coming from poland. [2018-01-14 20:48:32 CET] right, is swine fever like "foot and mouth" disease/ [2018-01-14 20:48:39 CET] could the finger be saved? [2018-01-14 20:48:55 CET] No, he lost the end of it [2018-01-14 20:49:34 CET] Boar chased his dog out, dog ran towards him, he tried to push the boar away and the boar caught his finger [2018-01-14 20:50:06 CET] terrible. be careful. [2018-01-14 20:50:23 CET] I have never seen any dead animal in the woods. I think the board eat everything [2018-01-14 20:51:21 CET] If I see them I walk away. There were two stood up next to me last week, but they were too busy watching the dog. [2018-01-14 20:51:23 CET] lets stop for today. [2018-01-14 20:51:41 CET] OK, I'll send you some print of 3d models [2018-01-14 20:51:47 CET] Talk next week? [2018-01-14 20:52:02 CET] yes, gladly. [2018-01-14 20:52:08 CET] OK, bye [2018-01-14 20:52:09 CET] bye [2018-01-14 20:52:19 CET] * heinz quit (EOT) [2018-01-14 20:52:24 CET] * rune quit (Leaving)
