d20 Modern RPG Week Day Three

“So, how’s d20 Modern compare to other games, Grey?” Well, I’m glad you asked…..

What separates us from animals is that we like to compare and contrast. Hence the reason why we want to know what separates us from animals, I guess. Here’s a quick and dirty rundown of how d20 Modern compares to a few other systems. Feel free to add more to the list in the comments!

d20 Modern versus Mutants & Masterminds
The first most obvious difference between these two system is that d20 Modern isn’t a superhero role-playing game. Well, duh.

Except it’s a little more complicated than that. M&M is a rather excellent do-everything generic system in it’s own right and (especially at lower Power Levels) is more than capable of covering the same ground as d20 Modern. Roughly speaking, generate a PL4 character in M&M and you’re firmly into beginning level d20 Modern territory.

So, which is better for playing in the modern world?

I’d say that at this level d20 Modern has the edge. It’s more granular, and the class-based structure really helps to keep the characters within solid roles. Modern-day gaming isn’t someplace where you want your characters to be aliens from the planet G’thargg, talking dogs or intergalactic psi-police. Unless, of course, that is what you want in which case M&M is the place to be :D

As both systems share the same parentage there are many similarities, though they diverge when it comes to the combat system. Given the choice I prefer M&M’s Toughness system over Armour Class and Hit Points, though either are good. As we’ll talk about tomorrow, Modern Day gaming is less about the combat and more about the bits between the combat. But that’s for another day.

d20 Modern versus GURPS
Ahhh GURPS. How I love thee. Just why I love thee is going to be the topic of a future RPG Week so we’ll leave that for now and look at how it compares to d20 Modern.

Like M&M, GURPS is a generic toolkit which is capable (or so it claims) of running any type of game in any era and any style. I’m not convinced GURPS is a good choice of system when it comes to superhero gaming, but for playing a campaign set in the Real World (or a fascimile thereof), it’s very good indeed. GURPS provides more than enough information and rules to run pretty much any modern day campaign from police procedural to hi-octane spy thrillers. Character generation is a particular strength of GURPS and no two characters are likely ever to be the same. The only disadvantage to this is that chargen can be pretty time consuming and not for the newbie gamer.

So, which is better for playing in the modern world?

That depends on you, and your group. GURPS is more simulationist and crunchy than d20 Modern’s more cinematic style. It also opens up the possibility to run time-hopping games where your characters begin in the modern age and leapfrog around the whole multiverse. Not that there’s anything to stop you from doing that in any other system (including d20 Modern), of course – just that this is one style of play that’s downright encouraged in GURPS.

I love both. d20 Modern is easier to play and prep that GURPS thanks to the wealth of resources and D&D compatability, whereas GURPS is…. well, it’s GURPS.

d20 Modern versus Savage Worlds
Here’s where I need your help. I’ve played Savage World once and really enjoyed it, but that’s not enough to really form an opinion of how it compares to other systems. Is it as easy to prep? Fluffier? Crunchier? More fun? Do tell.

Over to you.

If you want to take a look at d20 Modern yourself the majority of the system is freely available under the OGL. Here’s a  HTML version of the rules (mirror of the zipfile). Enjoy.

    I would’ve like to see how D20 Modern matches up with True20 but I guess there aren’t too many big differences between the 2. ;)

    Aw… I was hoping you’d be able to compare it to World of Darkness Storyteller too… methinks there’s another part to this comparison blog?

  3. Greywulf says:

    @QuestingGM True20 would work out rather like d20 Modern but using a damage track – a halfway house between d20M and M&M. Given a choice I’d prefer one on the other over True20, really.

    @Helmsman Not a fan of the system, but I’m sure if anyone else wants to chip in with a comparison………

  4. Before I found Savage Worlds I was really digging d20 Modern. I have almost everything WotC put out and a few books from the Game Mechanics.

    Savage Worlds has Edges instead of Feats. With a smaller skill list more mechanical emphasis is placed on these Edges rather than on the skills.

    No classes, no HPs. In my head, they feel like the characters they produce are of comparable power levels, but I never got a chance to actually run d20 Modern. But, it’s d20 at its heart. So things like long combats at higher levels, long prep time… these things are still a part of it. I’m horribly biased. SW does everything I ever wanted d20 Modern to do with none of the work. Well, very little of it anyway.

I loved this game. I had it on my old PC until the game got infected with a virus and had to be deleted cryani.gif

I loved the gameplay, send out choppers, Knock Out races, etc. I always wondered what KO meant before. Maps were awesome, I was always cruising around the Tropical maps. And it had a damn Ferrari colgate.gif !

Gonna have to play it again someday, if I will find it in a shop that is.

Henry Holland Plays Host To The Six Scents: Series Two For A Collection Of Limited Fragrances

by CARSON GRIFFITH · October 14, 2009

With the change of season, it's also time to change your scent. And what better way to find a new perfume than with a party hosted by a fashion God himself, Henry Holland? The Six Scents: Series Two party was held at Weiss Studio in the West Village last night and included six limited edition fragrances by 3.1 Philip Lim, Damir Doma, Henrik, Vibskov, Richard, Nikoll, Toga, and of course, House of Holland. The chic party-goers got to sample the latest in designer fragrances (along with cocktails) while enjoying each other's company.

Post party, Henry Holland gathered a chic crew and headed to the Bowery Hotel for an after-hours fete, that included Steven Rojas, Dree Hemingway, Tommy Saleh, Ronny Welter, May Kwok, and the crew from Peoples Revolution.

O, Marry Me! Cast Album cover

Music by Robert Kessler

Libretto and Lyrics by Lola Pergament, based on Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer

Gate Theatre - Off-Broadway 27 October, 1961 (21 perfs)

The Story

(Late 18th Century England)

Marlow is a bashful young man who only feels easy with serving girls and barmaids. He therefore sets out with reluctance to win the hand of Miss Kate Hardcastle, a young lady of quality.

He is tricked by the mischievous Tony Lumpkin into believing that the home of Kate's father is a village inn and goes there accompanied by his friend Hastings. Marlow treats the enraged Mr Hardcastle as if he were an impudent landlord.

Kate takes advantage of the situation by posing first as a barmaid and then as a poor relative, thus 'conquering' young Marlow. Constance Neville, who is Kate's friend and cousin, fails in love with Hastings. This does not please Mrs Hardcastle who dotes on her oafish Tony, her son by a previous marriage. She had intended a match for him with Constance.

The mistakes of the evening unravel with the arrival of Marlow's father. Mr Hardcastle forgives young Marlow and all ends happily.

TITLE: Hey There, Delilah
Lyrics and Chords

Hey there, Delilah, what's it like in New York City
I'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do, Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

/ D - F#m - / / Bm - G A Bm - / A - /

Hey there, Delilah, don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen
Close your eyes, listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me (4x)

/ D - Bm - / / / /

What you do to me

/ D - F#m - /

Hey there, Delilah, I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good, we'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there, Delilah, I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away
I'd write it all, even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because
We know that none of them have felt this way
Delilah, I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

/ G - / A - / D - Bm - / : / G - A - / Bm - - - / A - /

Hey there, Delilah, you be good, and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school, and I'll be making history
Like I do, you'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there, Delilah, here's to you
This one's for you

Vadim Kruglikov on the North Korean 'Audio-Gadget'

Proudly Waving at the Peaceful Ballistic Satellite
(Image Liberated from Bourgeois Wikipedia Site)

The imperialist forces that occupy the lower half of the great Korean peninsula run an open-source military gang for seizing information about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and using it for nefarious purposes. Recently, this hegemonic gang has translated a column by Vadim Kruglikov that appeared in the Russian paper Novaya Gazeta. Originally written to honor of the DPRK's peaceful ballistic satellite, the militarist barbarians have translated it in their vain scheme to pirate the North's gloriously advanced technology:
"Korean Wonder: the Incomprehensible, Malicious Reaction by the United States, Japan, and South Korea to the Launch of a Large North Korean Audio-Gadget"

By Vadim Kruglikov

On 5 April 06:32, Moscow Time, the many centuries of hope of the North Korean people was realized -- a Kwangmyongsong-2 satellite was launched into near-Earth orbit. According to the reports of the Korean Central Telegraph Agency, the flight is going according to plan. The "Song About General Kim Il Sung" and the "Song about General Kim Jong-il" is being played in real-time from the satellite throughout the universe. In addition, the space messenger is carrying North Korean measuring devices -- a ruler, a Slava wristwatch made in 1952, weights for scales, and a medical thermometer. All devices are working normally.

The Kwangmyongsong-2 wonder did not come from nowhere. The history of North Korean cosmonautics has rich and ancient traditions. The great primogenitor of all North Koreans, Dangun (24th century B.C.), felt love for the interstellar spaces and plowed the expanses of the Universe in his dreams. The 10th-century educator Chkhol Su [transliterated] overcame the Earth's gravity by thought and penetrated the depths of space with his fearless vision. He more than once tried to throw a stone up there and closely tracked its trajectory. In the 16th century the Confucian monk refugee Khon Khvanpkho [transliterated] built the first North Korean rocket in the world, hand-launched and of unpolished slate; it had a length of 18 meters with base. Structurally and based on the food stocks taken onboard, the rocket was supposed to go into near-Earth space, but in light of there not being a powerful engine in the development of technology at the time, it was unable to break away from the Earth. The North Korean Gagarin himself was condemned to death by the Japanese occupation for his audacity. Khon Khanpkho's feat breathed new life into the dream and stirred up the people's masses. Throughout North Korea simple ybeny* and peasants built interplanetary flying machines from hand-made materials in order to overcome the horizons of the unknown. But the lack of professional skills and ignorance of how to calculate the ablative effect led to tragedies, which nevertheless did not kill the traditional indefatigable reach of the North Koreans for the interplanetary roads. But now finally that centuries-old dream has been attained.

The Taepodong-2 launcher, which put the Kwangmyongsong-2 into orbit, is a strong, 45-meter, one-stage structure of types of wood native to North Korea -- Manchurian walnut and Korean and Chosen pine. The structure is covered in decorative weavings of bamboo reeds and decorated with a native mosaic of lobsters. The missile operates on the accumulated energy of the love of the North Koreans for the Great Leader. The satellite itself is made of ceramics in the form of a 7-meter bottle of punchkhon [transliterated], which is traditionally ornamented. A powerful 0.5-meter loudspeaker is installed in its neck, which broadcasts the songs about the Korean leaders to all of the Cosmos visible to the eye. The satellite functions autonomously and is designed for several million years of active operation.

Because of this, the hostile reaction on the part of the United States, Japan, and South Korea to the launch of the large North Korean audio gadget is completely incomprehensible. They accuse the satellite of being military. Of course, one could somehow attach a nuclear bomb to it. But the matter is that a nuclear bomb is heavy, and the satellite would not be able to take off with it. And this is why the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry has called on the world community in its official statement to view the space odyssey of our friends in the DPRK with understanding and sympathy, especially since the North Korean cargo ship sent out to track the rocket was forced to return because of a breakdown.

*Ybeny -- Korean partisans of the 14th (sic. 16th?) century who fought against Japanese invaders. In the journal Korea Today, these poetic lines were published:

The ybeny hide in the mountains
They inflict losses on the enemy
The enemy will never catch the ybeny
But mother waits for the ybeny at home."

They were well-known in MGU [Moscow State University]. One of the professors of the Nations of Africa and Asia Institute would not give a five in exams on Korean history if the students did not know "The Ybeny's Mother".
This article by Vadim Kruglikov appeared in translation in the Korea Open Source Digest (Volume II, Issue 73, Thursday, April 16th, 2009), and I admit that I had to peruse it twice to make sure that I wasn't reading a serious paean to the glorious achievements of the North Korean state, for Kruglikov's article captures rather well the tone of radical-left screeds scribbled in praise of North Korea's 'achievements' . . . but then takes that praise several steps in directions weird enough to signal to the reader that this article is satire. e.g.:
"The missile operates on the accumulated energy of the love of the North Koreans for the Great Leader."
Doubtless, that explains the rocket's great success in putting the 'satellite' into near-Earth orbit (though possibly so near as to be subaquatic).

My wife checked the transliterated terms but couldn't figure them out. Perhaps they are Russian terms, not Korean, but if any experts read this (e.g., Andrei Lankov) and can identify these obscure words, we'd all be gratefully in somebody's debt.

Nota Bene: I'd credit the translator if I knew the person's name, but it's some linguistically gifted individual in the US Army, I suppose.

"Near-Earth Orbit" is pretty close to what my Naval Expert friends advise me, actually damn near.

I can't locate the link (without taking time from my regular weekend duties) but I will, from memory, try to reproduce the NORAD & NCIS statement:

"NK has successfully placed a sub-aquatic orbiting device broadcasting on a 15 khz bandwidth."

I admit, I don't know particulars, but (were Cran to weigh in - after all he has knowledge of frequencies) I'm pretty sure NK has a new technology for broadcasting whatnot.

For Those Stumbling Across This Site: Cran is a Certified Expert on frequencies - just ask him. He was a... no, that's classified.

Anyway, he's got a titanium enhanced radio-receiving half-ass. And he is listening to patriotic songs as we speak.

JK, I'd already linked to that "sub-aquatic" information in the blog entry, and I had found it last week thanks to your own link in a comment at Malcolm's blog.

Sorry 'bout that little oversight. I pray Cran doesn't make any publicized ventures to Japan anytime soon.

However - should he do so - and were to be subsequently "disappeared"...

It would accomplish two things. First: better music and Two (oh I hope Linda Gaye doesn't capture me) - (or Cran read this) raise the IQ level.

(Cran, if you do read this? This is only applicable to the NK ruling junta.)

My fault Dr. Jeff, been kinda busy.

At 1:57 PM, Blogger Horace Jeffery Hodges said...

JK, you mean that the Norks might abduct my Uncle Cran, who would improve their music and their average IQ?

If so, then the Norks might actually get that satellite into real orbit and play truth-telling music like "Your Cheating Heart."

We could sort of hope for that . . . but I'd rather that we keep Uncle Cran around to write the occasional blog entry on things Ozarkian.

Kalman filter keeps your bot balanced

If you’re looking to improve the stability of your self balancing robot you might use a simple horrifying equation like this one. It’s part of the journey [Lauszus] took when developing a sensor filtering algorithm for his balancing robot. He’s not breaking ground on new mathematical ideas, but trying to make it a bit easier for the next guy to use a Kalman filter. It’s one method of suppressing noise and averaging data from the sensors commonly used in robotic applications.

His robot uses a gyroscope and accelerometer to keep itself upright on just two wheels. The combination of these sensors presents an interesting problem in that accelerometer input is most accurate when sampled over longer periods, and a gyroscope is the opposite. This filter takes those quirks into account, while also factoring out sensor noise. Despite the daunting diagram above, [Lauszus] did a pretty go job of breaking down the larger function and showing us where to get the data and how to use it in microcontroller code.

  1. Did a “pretty go[od] job”?
    A pretty good job?!
    What are you guys on? This is an awesome piece work. Give the guy credit, I’d be willing to bet the authors of this blog couldn’t even begin to write as an informative an article.

    1. I agree with Eccentric Electron. This writeup is not merely “a pretty good job”, it is amazingly clear, informative, and well-written.

      Do not underestimate how hard it is to explain something this complex to someone not already well versed in the subject.

      Lauszus’ work should be an inspiration to others, as well as an example of what a properly written treatise should be like.

      In fact, I’ll put my money where my mouth is and will submit this week a simple treatise on using Euler angles to determine position of rigid bodies; specifically as it applies to robotic arms.

  2. Give the author credit: he did a pretty good job at underemphasizing the work done here.

    In all seriousness, it is extraordinary that this work is being done and published freely and applied to applications simpler than spaceships and the like. Thank you to all that publish work like this that makes it easier for those that follow your experiences.

  3. Worth noting to those unfamiliar with Kalman Filters; each different hardware design requires its own Kalman Filter, no copying & pasting here :(

    i.e. have a RC car robot, as does your friend from a different brand? each will require its own unique Kalman Filter. No real easy way around that. (or, is there…?)

    1. And don’t forget to mention that obtaining a proper model of your system to work with is by far the hardest part of all.

      Some people say that when you try to solve a problem with a Kalman filter then you have two problems. ;)

  4. Err Kalman filters are pretty easy to do actually. The equation is a LOT nastier to look at than the raw code. as for writing another filter for each kind of hardware…no. Just tweak a few parameters and off you go. It’s just a loop and some basic math. I have no idea how to map it to that equation, but I know how to make one that works :P

    (try google cache if it won’t come up, didn’t come up for moi)

    1. Is not E=mc^2 the horrifying equation but the details of the undelying theory leading to it. Not saying that understanding it would be needed to just “use” it though.

      In my particular case the Kalman filter was the end result of +60 college hours of one of the two quarters of discrete control theory. ;)

  5. It seems like in this case, the P matrix, S, K[0], and K[1] will all converge to steady-state values independently of the states and measurements. (i.e. You could calculate all the P and K values before you even turn the system on.) After some number of cycles, I think you get a complementary filter and a simple bias estimator. Agree/disagree?

  6. Not just for toys, many aircraft navigation and autopilot systems use a Kalman filter to combine inertial (gyro, accelerometer), GPS, and radio navigation signals into one extremely accurate system. I worked on such a system on the the H-53 helicopter.

  7. It’s worth noting that a complementary filter is much simpler to program (and understand), requires much less processing power, is easier to tune, and is usually almost as good as a Kalman filter.

  8. Kudos to him for figuring out how to implement a Kalman filter. However – he chose the wrong one! No one… and I mean NO ONE uses the vanilla Kalman filter unless your problem is linear (which this isn’t). He’d get WAY better performance form using an EKF. I implemented a 3 state, 2 measurement EKF on an Arduino Uno just to benchmark what kind of update rate I could get (floating point). I don’t recall exactly but want to say it was on the order of 100-150 Hz which was plenty fast for my task.

    1. “No one uses the vanilla Kalman filter unless your problem is linear”

      What? Not really: a “vanilla” kalman filter is perfectly fine for a nonlinear system, as long as you can linearize its model around a certain point of operation, AND always keep it around that point using your control loop (which is exactly what happens here – the whole point of this bot is to stay around a vertical angle).

      Sure, the linearization is acceptable only as long as your bot stays close to the vertical position, but then again, if it doesn’t, then the accuracy of angle estimation is the least of your concerns – and going back to your control loop becomes the real problem.

  9. This requires to be well versed in mathematics/statistics indeed. I got lost at …just equal to the variance of the measurement, since the covariance of the same variable is equal to the variance.

Making plastic filament at home

There’s one problem with the popularity of plastic-extruding 3D printers such as the RepRap and Makerbot; since they’ve become so popular, the price of plastic filament has skyrocketed over the past few years. Without a way to produce filament at a hackerspace or home lab, the price of 3D printed objects will remain fairly high. Project Spaghetti hopes to rectify that by building a machine to make plastic filament for 3D printers.

The folks behind Project Spaghetti – a loose amalgamation of makers going under the title of Open Source Printing, LLC – have successfully built a machine that is able to produce short lengths of plastic filament.

Early machines used a plunger to press small pellets of ABS plastic through a heated steel pipe to produce filament. There are a few problems with this approach, especially when the temperature is set to 480F, but the team was able to make a bit of filament with this design.

Although the team is using a piston to force melted plastic out of a nozzle, they do have a screw-drive ‘plan B’ in the works. This design should allow for continuous extrusion for theoretically endless reels of plastic filament, every RepRappers dream and a neat way to win 40 grand.

44 thoughts on “Making plastic filament at home

  1. boy are they gonna be in for a surprise.

    All modern injection machines use a screw compression method, problem is, that several tons of force can build up inside the screw mechanism, then you need a heater, because once it is filled with plastic and when you shut it down, you have to re-melt the plastic to start it up again.

    1. Yes, the extrusion barrels I worked with were rated up to 500,000 pounds of dynamic force. If the operator shut the machine down without turning off the heat, the plastic could break down into high pressure gas and cause a violent explosion too. Fun stuff.

      1. Well, I always wanted to do this in my garage, but the energy costs are very large. The smallest extruders we had still used more power than a typical residential line could handle. I would love to see this done and available at low cost.

      2. You bring up an important point. It is nice to be able to recycle your own plastic instead of putting it out in the recycle bin for someone else to do it with your free material, but what are the energy costs in producing the filament out of this plastic?
        I’m all for not giving my plastic for free to a company and to recycle and use it myself, but does it really pay in terms of electricity?

    2. There’s a problem with using a screw (and believe me, I know).

      The screw for an injection molding machine either needs to have a varying width between screw flights, or a varying depth for each screw flights. Most commercial machines go with varying depth, and this is damn hard to make

      I’ve tried my hand at making a small filament making machine and making the screw is exceptionally hard. here’s a pic of my screw, which has yet to be produced.

      I talked to a few machinist friends and they’re quoting me $1000 to make this screw. These are friends, mind you. Actual screws for industrial use cost around $5 – 10k.

      The plunger design might be the best option for an open source filament production station, because otherwise the means of making your own filament will remain the domain of people with gigantic and expensive machine shops.

      If you have a five axis mill (or can otherwise make that screw), send me an email. I know I can’t do it.

      1. Call me Shirley, but wouldn’t a metal lathe be a much simpler solution? Though I guess I can’t say if the threading features of modern non-specialized lathes can handle that pitch..

      2. To make your oh so complex $1000 auger screw that requires a 5 axis cnc mill, all you need is a $500 mini lathe, a live center for the tailstock, and a cutter ground to your thread form. Set the tailstock up to cut a taper and cut the thread as you would any thread using the leadscrew.

        Not very hard, is it? Any machine shop could crank that basic design out in 10 minutes. You may have to make some design allowances in the way of pitch and thread form.

        1. It is easy to say somethign doesn’t work unless you build it (engineers are specialists at this thinking). Just shows some people cannot visualize solutions in their heads. But that aside, honestly, if one does think about what you are trying to do, yes a modified taper thread would do just fine. Ony issue is that the I assume “undulating” patern of the threads would still pass within the threaded section and provide adequate pressure and clearance for the liquid plastic. Sounds fairly simple actually. Not building aircraft parts here, just a real fancy playdough extruder…..yep that simple. just need some heat. If you got clever with a dual piston setup to a commun plenum chamber (reciprocating pistons alternating the feed with some kind of check valve, then that would be an option too. Too many peope think inside the box…..I use the box for fuel for the fire! HAH

      3. It’s amazing how easy things are when you’ve never actually done them. :-)

        That’s a 4-axis part, which simplifies things greatly. It COULD be done on a lathe with a spindle encoder, but if you have access to that, it’s probably no big deal already. My 4-axis Taig would do it much cheaper than that, but I’m lazy.

        1. Hojo: You’re right, I’ve never cut a tapered screw like this on a mini lathe. I have however cut tapered things and threaded things on my mid size lathe. I think its safe to assume I can do both at the same time. I have a manual lathe and a CNC BF20. Its fun to work the traditional ways on the lathe and the new ways on the mill. Keeps things fun by working at both ends of the spectrum.

          Tailstocks always have an adjustment for side to side built in. If you offset the tailstock and use a live (or dead) center, you can cut a taper.

          Here is a video of someone cutting a taper on a manual lathe.

          If he wanted to, he could engage the lead screw instead of the feed screw and cut a tapered thread. If he used a different tool the thread could be a knuckle shape or whatever you want. You don’t need a spindle encoder, CNC, 4th axis, or any of that. At minimum you need a lathe (such as a $500 mini lathe), a pair of dead centers (I assume the mini lathe comes with a set), a drive dog (for all intents could be two pieces of wood and some wood screws), and a cutter ground to what profile you desire. Its really a simple part.

          You could definitely make this on a mill with a 4th axis, a 5th axis, or a CNC lathe with a spindle encoder. You can also make it on a manual lathe and I would argue a one-off could be done much quicker on the manual lathe.

      4. Not knowing how well equipped your shop is,I’m going to ask,if you considered hogging out auger portion of this using powered hand tools? Would be a good idea to make a model out of plastic or wood first, to be able to make gauges from. Even with gauges there’s a risk of letting loose of a years supply of expletives if one takes away too much metal. Of course you could spend the time making this the hard way at a job earning the money to pay the machinist with. Good luck with the project

      5. Hi: I was just reading because of my interest in the Reprap and getting filament at a fair price. I soon realized that the cost of filament would make some of my parts out of line.
        I am a retired macinist ( young 66 with wife half that) and still have a few machines to tinker with. Matsuura machining center and three lathes,one is CNC. Cutting the screw you show in the pic, would be no problen for the CNC with thru spindle capacity of 1.625 or the larger conventional with 3.00 bar capacity. I think the larger machine will cut 1-1/2 threads per inch which is .666 pitch and the CNC should do the same or maybe even 1.00 pitch. Just pretend you are cutting a tapered thread on a straight bar.
        Cutting a tapered thread on the CNC just adds one word in the G76 execution line.
        Let me know if if I can help. I would need to know the OD and length of the part.
        I was thinking of building one of these with a small hydraulic pump pulling a much larger displacement hydraulic motor to get the required torque and speed reduction plus easy control of pressure with an adjustable relief valve. I would also use an adjustable flow valve to control the speed. A hydraulic motor is used on the screw of almost all sizes of injection molding machines.
        Hope to hear from you, Robert

  2. I used to maintain extrusion equipment and plastic production lines. 480F seems rather high, unless working with Nylon. The ideal temperature was when the plastic was extremely viscous like tar and extreme pressures were used. For unleaded plastics, if it burned in 5 minutes, the temperature was too high. Leaded plastics with antimony trioxide were completely resistant to heat, but you didn’t want to breathe the fumes.

  3. The pellet systems are very interesting, but I can’t help feeling like the prices of filament are only high for the short-term. There is high demand and people are paying high prices, that will bring other companies into the mix. Unless there is massive price-fixing, the price will drop a lot.

    1. @tech-no-pest

      It has been explored, seen a few people who have done it. The nylon used in weed trimmer line produces awesome flexible items, however there is a catch: the trim line needs to be baked in an oven to remove as much moisture as possible. Then you need to store it in an airtight container and only cut off trim as needed for the machine.

      If you DONT do this, the moisture in the trim line will cause steam to build in the hot-end, this causes foamy plastic which doesn’t print well. But when dried out, its an awesome low-cost alternative to ABS and PLA (though I don’t know what the specific modifications are needed to make it work with the machine)

  4. Uhm…. Is everyone forgetting about the Filabot? – The dude’s already open sourced his plans on – you can build one if you’re brave enough.

    I’m glad to see more than one team working on this problem – there is a LOT of potential for individuals to recycle plastic at home. I really hope to have a personal filament machine in my home within the next year or two. I HATE throwing away my ABS scraps…. maybe I should start saving them now instead of throwing them out

      1. He’s working on the project while in college in a mobile laboratory, I doubt he’ll be selling the final product from the back of a van.

        Would you rather watch the development cease for a whole school year until he comes back home for summer vacation?

    1. I got in on the kickstarter for that one a while ago. still waiting for it to ship but he had been pretty good about keeping people updated.

      It seems like it’ll work but it’s probably not the most efficient process for it, took about 8 hours to make a 1kg spool, so you won’t be running a factory with it but for recycling stuff at home it’s probably not going to be much of a problem.

  5. Its not hard to make at all, just use a variant on PCB etching.
    I came up with a method which simply requires a metal rod (copper, aluminium, etc) and a spray can full of PCB photoresist.
    Spin the rod up to about 500rpm and spray it with photoresist, then allow to dry in the dark.
    Once dry, pre-expose to deform the resist then use a modified optical drive with Bluray burner laser and Aixiz module preset to the surface and a 0.07mm focal spot.
    Simply rotate the rod using a PLL synchronised to the microstepper and a slowly decreasing step interval.
    Then develop your rod, etch in persulphate etc and if needed anodise with boric acid.

    Simplez :-)

    1. I prefer to use a main winding of the normal lotus o-deltoid type placed in panendermic semiboloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremi-pipe to the differential girdlespring on the ‘up’ end of the grammeters.

      I find this is the only way to prevent side fumbling of the ambifacient lunar wane shaft.

  6. Ebay has many plastic extruders with detailed descriptions. They will recycle an enormous amount of plastic over time. Unfortunately, most of them are the large ones (like what I worked with.) They are going for several thousand dollars and up for the “small” ones. For the heaters, it is possible to retrofit with natural gas although I haven’t seen it done. That would leave power requirements for the motor drive, which requires significant horsepower. If anyone does get one of these, be aware of the safety issues when dealing with high pressure/temperature plastics. Hot plastic melts through human skin and has to be surgically removed.

  7. If you want to cut your own variable lead and/or depth plastic extrusion auger, look up electronic leadscrew.

    That’s a way to control the thread pitch a lathe cuts without using change gears.

    Combined with computer control of the cross slide it’s possible to cut all kinds of shapes on a lathe.

    Even better, all the info to DIY this on small lathes is freely available.

  8. I know nothing about this and so this is probably extremely dumb but could you not get over the problem of continual feed by having two (or more) piston driven hoppers that feed into the pressurised extruder tube? Sort of in a ‘Y’ shape. You can feed the cylinders alternately with pellets switching over from the one you are filling to the other one that you have finished filling and is already driving to provide the pressure. Obviously you would have to ensure that you match the pressure of the main cylinder to the one of the one you are switching to before flipping the valve over. Sorry for not explaining this very well but I hope you get my drift.

    1. The reason a piston system will never work is that you need an avenue for gas to escape as the plastic is compressed. An auger is best in this situation as it allows gas to escape back out of the flutes of the screw.

      Why this project is challenging is because you need to drive a very viscous fluid with very high pressure. To achieve any sort of reasonable extrusion speed you need a massive amount of energy in. Heating is only like 10% of this energy. In fact, you will get most of your heating from shear friction in the plastic as you are pressurizing it.

  9. @bothersaidpooh

    Umm – you’re suggesting a method of making a varying pitch extrusion auger, yeah?

    I can see how that might work for an etch depth of perhaps 1-2mm, but wouldn’t (ragged) undercutting be an issue after that? – surely typical required depth of (clean) cut is order of magnitude greater?

    Am I missing something?

  10. Tried that, didn’t work @Genesis
    It has to be a special sort of plastic, with the correct softeners and tensile strength and melting point.

    I did look into using UV light and a cheap optical mouse (ADNS series) sensor to examine fibre and alert the user if it was about to become tangled.

    @gmcurrie Yes, also it is feasible to do multiple depths simply by exposing it in sections to the etchant in order to get a variable depth AND pitch.
    Google “intaglio”..

The content of this article has been cut.
The subject matter of this article was cut from the final version of an official / canonical source.

The Fire Extinguisher is an item (used as a weapon game-wise) cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 Beta. It first appeared in Half-Life as an unusable item.

The fire extinguisher was to be used at least on the Borealis and Kraken Base to extinguish fire that could stand in the way of the player and help them progress further.[1] It was probably removed due to its uselessness in the other levels.

  • In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Fire Extinguisher is among them.
