Absolutely phenomenal build! Definitely a build of the year contender, imo. All the parts fit so seamlessly together and this thing really looks like a serious machine. Seems almost a shame to cover up the bottom details with an enclosure, but I guess the electronics have to go somewhere. Looking forward to seeing this thing complete and in action.
This thing is awesome why didn’t you go with a cool aluminum enclosure to add to your wonderful metal fab
But I still love everything about this build
Thanks guys! Most of my answers are “because I’m new at this”
Frankly, I still have no idea how this will do at a decent speed. I did make a basic plywood deck and it was very smooth, but I think that is mostly due to the ceramic bearings… those didn’t exist back when I was riding a board…
It’s so cool to have this forum! I didn’t know what a VESC was, I didn’t know what a BMS was, never even considered a NKP 3-Link or heard of it, and then there are pucks, Dave(forgot the acronym but it provides ride info), battery reviews - who would ever know WTF a Molicel was ? On and on…
Crazy to think a skateboard can be stable at 35 mph and have a range of 30 miles… makes me want to get back in the garage and keep improving…
If I can get away from this 3D printer I will!
You may have tried this already, but I struggled with bed adhesion on a glass plate too. Get an accurate thermometer and measure the top of the plate! My actual temp was off by ~6 C from the set/read temp.
Too hot or too cold? My PETG roll says 210-240 but everything online says to do PETG at 250? My next “guess” is to lower the nozzle temp…
Just drop this here
Are you interested in the DIY onewheel builds as well?
Could use some more people like you big time!
Are you printing really slow on the first layer or two? I haven’t printed in a while, but I’d print PETG at around 235*-238* (240* was as high as I could go) and print the first layers at about half speed, then the rest at normal speed.
Weird. My petg seems to work best at like 270
It took me this long to stumble upon this post…
Wow… you’ve outdone yourself especially for a first!
Sheeeeesh this thing is sick man nice build
I only have you by 5!
TWO BOYS! I am 47
Not at the moment. But good luck!
been considering building one
happy to help with any testing you need. im not great at CAD or anything but dont mind actually building things if you want
Oh my…
When I saw this I just thought of you
This is the future I love everything about this build other than the enclosure which I think we can persuade him to do aluminum or fiberglass maybe
ahah CNCd aluminium enclosure of course ^^
