11-12 3:09:55	GNFan	I was at the Washington State History Museum last week, and they have a display of the fated bridge - color film from the time, and a chunk of recovered roadbed.
11-12 3:09:29	DAZed	oh, I've been close to that bridge quite a few times
11-12 3:08:32	stonysmith	Even in Zscale, that bridge would be 9" long... translation: ExPeNsIvE
11-12 3:08:03	DAZed	bye Thom
11-12 3:07:41	GNFan	Bye, Thom.
11-12 3:07:25	rvn2001	Well guys, I'm gonna go check to see that all of my trains are still running. Z Y'all later.
11-12 3:07:23	stonysmith	that's funny Mike
11-12 3:07:09	stonysmith	«link»
11-12 3:05:38	GNFan	Stony, I was going to ask if it was going to be the original (1940) Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Even if the print you get shattered, that could still be seen as prototypical.
11-12 3:04:02	GNFan	It seems so, Doug. If not, it would sure bite.
11-12 3:03:38	stonysmith	it's a standard truss bridge.. i'm trying to get the link
11-12 3:02:25	DAZed	Mike that one might be easier to print
11-12 3:00:29	GNFan	I hope not "dental".
11-12 2:59:13	DAZed	what sort of bridge is it?
11-12 2:58:38	stonysmith	FDM starts out much ticker than resin can do, but you can't do the detail
11-12 2:57:48	stonysmith	worse, the thicker you make it ... the more it costs
11-12 2:57:41	DAZed	laterZ John
11-12 2:57:35	DAZed	gotcha
11-12 2:57:34	GNFan	Bye, John.
11-12 2:57:32	rvn2001	Nite John.
11-12 2:57:25	stonysmith	Resin can do higher detail, but is also fragile unless you make it thick
11-12 2:57:19	soccrdad30	well, my turn... have a good nite all!
11-12 2:57:03	DAZed	?
11-12 2:56:51	DAZed	resin or FDM
11-12 2:55:24	stonysmith	if I make it thick enough to survive printing.. it loses a good bit of detail
11-12 2:54:54	stonysmith	If I do the detail on the bridge.. the beams will be too thin and will shatter.
11-12 2:54:13	soccrdad30	nite Ellen
11-12 2:54:07	rvn2001	That would be nice.
11-12 2:53:39	stonysmith	I'm taking vacation starting the 15th.. I realllllllllly wish that Thangs would get me some answers so I can work on the uploads
11-12 2:53:17	DAZed	Stony, you might need to hand deliver that one
11-12 2:52:26	DAZed	gnite Ellen
11-12 2:52:13	GNFan	ZU, Ellen.
11-12 2:51:41	rvn2001	Nite Ellen.
11-12 2:51:12	ejshelton	Bed time here for me....Nite all
11-12 2:50:47	stonysmith	OR... it's going to cost $$$
11-12 2:50:43	soccrdad30	ouch
11-12 2:50:38	stonysmith	Or.. if it does print nice, it's going to shatter during shipping
11-12 2:50:09	stonysmith	I can easily make the bridge, but it's not going to print well
11-12 2:49:50	stonysmith	I've got a guy bugging me to make a specific bridge..
11-12 2:49:09	stonysmith	but I think those extra characters kindof mess up the search algorithm on Thangs
11-12 2:48:16	stonysmith	I CAN just go around Thangs and do the same naming trick
11-12 2:47:49	stonysmith	on 3dptrain... I'm putting the product # into the inventory name such as SSD-0015
11-12 2:47:09	stonysmith	on the old SW, there was a file where I could download the entire inventory list, with what they called the SPIN.. product #
11-12 2:46:26	DAZed	well, hopefully they will get things squared away soon
11-12 2:46:08	DAZed	bummer
11-12 2:46:02	soccrdad30	or create a cataloging system?
11-12 2:45:55	stonysmith	I've talked to one of their product people twice.. he's supposed to be connecting me to the developers.. but nothing has happened yet
11-12 2:44:40	stonysmith	I need some "identity" (product #??) on the website so that tie the online file back to the source documents it came from
11-12 2:43:57	stonysmith	I've been asking for months..
11-12 2:43:27	stonysmith	exactly
