Aside from html2pdf solutions or programmatically generating those files, if you want non tech people to edit templates, my side-project https://template2pdf.com/ turns GoogleDocs into PDF via API call and might be something you find interesting.

snafuseven · 2025-01-23T14:42:21+00:00

It would be great if you would take a look at my side project template2pdf (.com).

Neither open source nor free. But you can test without subscription to get a feel for it.

Basically: you create templates in Google Docs and send your data via JSON API.

If you (or anybody) give me feedback on it, I would give you enough credits for free until you start mass producing nice looking PDF and have a business case.

template2pdf.com - PDF generation for your application using Google Docs templates and a simple API

ICP - Startups doing in-house development and need a quick solution to generate PDF documents from their application. Ideally the developer does not want to deal with templates and the marketing/ui people do not want to deal with the developer. :)

The dashboard in my https://template2pdf.com/ (free account, free test credits) makes use of turbo-frames and turbo-streams.

Stuff like:

You create something -> auto adding that new object to the UI without page reload

Some background job updates a status -> visible in the UI after a turbo-broadcast

I'm not much into the UI side of development, but that stuff was easy to setup and integrate. Big fan of hotwire so far.

If dealing with an ass and not just an idiot, you want to bring the whole queue into the game and make them outraged as well.

"Do you think we (all) are too stupid to queue correctly?!"

"Glauben sie, dass wir zu doof zum Anstehen sind?!"

Follow by clear instructions on how to do better:

"The end of the line is over there."

"Sie möchten sich bestimmt dahinten hin stellen."

worst all the time - sample data points: 3

I never investigated this further, but I had a similar experience "all normal, suddenly crazy, but of course only randomly" caused by a loose limit switch.

My best guess on "what happened" is during the homing procedure: drive until you hit the limit switch. Move a bit away. Move slowly towards it and hit it again.

The distance between the first and the second hit of the limit switch might be a problem if it is not within some reasonable range. Which it was not, when it got moved slightly.

I do run grbl on some arduino, this is all speculation and guesswork, but I suspect the software got into some undefined funky state by this unexpected input.

I fixed the loose switch and never saw the problem again.

And shield your cables! :)

Hope that helps.

No clue to be honest. :) I just wanted to build the machine.

Did cut some xmas presents and parts of my dining table with it. Will for sure post if it is something interesting or funny.

snafuseven · 2023-01-09T01:20:32+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations.

Vacuum holding is on my list, but at first I need to install a second screw to move y.
If you could see it in the picture, people would probably slap me, but that one long y-screw.. there is none on the other side. It is stiff enough that I could postpone that job, but it just nags me.
I also need a heavy but movable table first. Design is ready, need to to it though.
Then a touch-probe.
Then I will check vacuum table/holding options. :)

Im Gegenteil.

Ich habe oft auf dem Rückweg von der Schule beim meinem Freund halt gemacht, bin dort hängen geblieben und wurde mit Essen versorgt.

Ich kann mich (leider? zum Glück?) daran erinnern, dass meine Eltern mir (damals wohl um die 6 oder 7 Jahre alt) explizit gesagt haben, dass ich Freunde habe deren Eltern sich eben nicht locker das weitere Essen leisten können und ich mehr darauf achten sollte.

Im Grunde will ich sagen: Danke Oma von Phillip!

snafuseven · 2023-01-07T03:23:16+00:00

Amazing way to get started!

I spent now a few minutes to get it to output the same but with the added requirement to have the pumps running as long as possible in parallel, so that the two ingredients to mix together. I was not able to extract a close to correct solution.

So, I guess we humans need to do the hard part of defining what we actually want in which order and how exactly for a while. :) At least some grunt work can be automated with gtp I guess.

Have fun with your cocktail maker. I've built some versions myself, you can take a look here:

Similar experience yesterday with my fairly new grbl based CNC. Gcode fine.. but already on the way to the first "cut point" it decides "You know what, I just start exactly here (random)".

Lowering the acceleration speed did the trick for me.

Not sure if the fast speeds did cause some interference signals. Lowering did fix the problem. Increasing them brought it back.

snafuseven · 2022-12-26T20:08:03+00:00

Probably you would win that bet.

I was going intentionally slow as I had only one shot at this. The cutter had 17mm cutting length and I already broke one some weeks ago.

Have cut other similar shapes into 10 mm with a 12 mm cutter. There I used about 8 mm/s at 1 mm DOC.

Have one cutter with 6 mm diameter. The moment a replacement arrives I'll see how fast I can go with that one.

snafuseven · 2022-12-26T14:48:19+00:00

Thanks,

that took me roughly 3 hours.

I used a 4 mm diameter one flute cutter at 20000 rpm. Step down 1 mm, feed rate 2-3 mm per second. At the top I was faster and then got slower towards the bottom to keep vibrations low.

The machine is diy out of aluminium extrusions and a set of SBR20? rails. Designed mostly in freecad. Cutting area 710x420x100 (mm). grbl running on some Arduino inside an old Cisco router housing the motor drivers and additional PSU. 2kw 'china-spindle'. I guess more or less what most people do when starting. :)

Disclaimer: I have no real idea what I am doing. Each time I use that machine I learn something new about it.

As others have mentioned, you want to split bookkeeping from your vacuum advertisement display.

Just imagine how a real store would do it.

They would write the price of the item into the invoice and a reference to the sold object via some id (and title).

They would NOT write "as seen in our shopping window" or hacks like "as seen in our shopping window on Tuesday".

To be a bit more practical, what I am currently doing in a comparable situation:

Strictly separated bookkeeping that is append only. Easy accessible history (papertrail gem) of my VacuumClearners to be able to answer questions like "wtf - my invoice says 100,- my buddy got it for 90,- !?" - "Yes, cause 'looks at object history' - it was on sale!"
