Wow, he’s right, those are A LOT cleaner then they’ve been before.

Before they’d come out black and with metal chips and by the second swab (of each hole) they’d be clean

@Boardnamics is now confirmed to have clean holes :rofl:

That was with me soaking it in more iso alcohol before cleaning the next hole too and then spinning it around once at the threaded bits. I don’t think there is anything else I could reasonably do to try to clean them with how clean they already are.

Ultrasonic cleaner :ok_hand:

Since I don’t own an ultrasonic cleaner and do not know anyone with one, I’d say that is unreasonable.

I’m sure any jeweler would do it for you and probably overcharge the fuck out of you. And then end up telling you that those hangers didn’t fit in their machine anyway :laughing:

And then when you get home you realize they switched out one of your axles for a cheaper axle that looks similar

Super handy thing to have. I’ve wanted one for years but never splashed the cash

A cheap alternative is to use a large bin and a and held massager/ vibrator held against it or taped against it. Not as effective but if you get one strong enough that can run while plugged in it will still do a lot of work for you. Also it would be a vibration cleaner rather than an ultrasonic cleaner but they both do the same thing at the end of the day :person_shrugging:

Just it would 100% look weird to anyone who saw the contraption without context :rofl:

Here is an example of someone using a similar method but directly on a snake:

I gave up on looking for a video that more directly shows what I meant on youtube :person_shrugging:

Older vape shops might have ultrasonic cleaners. Very good for old rebuildable atomizers

Currently trying to convince work that one of theirs is broken and I should take it home :wink:

Just snip part of the power cable and then you’re good. I am not responsible for any damage you do though

Ehhh I watched our maintenance team drop 600+ volt lines today, I’m going to have to out science term them

The answer is always phantom kohmingulators.

Ahh, yeah then that probably won’t work. I was thinking more of jobs where there is no one employed who knows how to splice cables so if a cable is damaged the whole item ends up replaced :rofl:

Ahhh Mr. Namics, I should’ve known. I’m currently searching for these:
“16100-2RS (10m ID, 28mm OD, 8mm Width)” (from your website) should I PM you here or send an email?

What’s the easiest option for logs and telemetry? I love everything my davega displays on my other board but wanted to keep the new build a little simpler. Is there something that simply connects to a Bluetooth module on the vesc and doesn’t need its own uart?

Metr or robogotchi is the way

Metr is best. accept no fewer features.

You guys got any?

Haha nah.

You can order metr direct from @rpasichnyk

Robogotchi is vaporware. @jaykup is making a batch of them, but unsure of his plans to sell.

Sweet, yeah the metr can is just what I’m looking for
