My printer has done good so far
I had to replace the filament cutter a few days ago after it just stopped cutting
I think i’ve been thru 4 spools so far
I also lost a step in the X axis at some point so it was having a hissy fit, I ended up recalibrating and it works fine now.
But the tonal sweeps at the beginning got longer so I need to take them out again.
Still better than my anycubic lol

This is how I feel about this, I do understand a lot of people do not have bambustudio, etc built into their workflow tho
From what I remember tho BambuSlicer is just a build of Prusaslicer, so if Bambu is doing something to “encrypt” their G code, its definitely traceable and able to be reversed
At least imo I think thats how it works, I wanna say someone has already jail broken their printer already since the new beta came out, but im sure that will change coming with the actual update
I also think Bambu might just toss the entire security part of the update once they see all this tremendous backlash, but hard to say

Check out this one
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr52zsT
I couldn’t get a good photo of the charge port but this one looks to be the same connector
I would double check the connector with the charge port, but something along those lines is what you want
Fully charged 6s battery is 25.2v, 4.2vx6s =25.2v
And I wanna say it looks like a single pin 2.1mm connector, but double check

I will add photos once I get home, but I was able to figure out my reoccurring issue with my trucks
I’m not entirely sure of the cause other than wear, but the stock bushings do NOT fit snugly in the baseplate anymore.
I ended up designing and printing a new Matrix II Bushing.3mf (22.8 KB)
It’s just a bit bigger on the inner cylinder, along with a bit thicker on the inner ring.
After I got them mounted up I went for a ride and the shake was gone
And let me say, I could wheelie just fine with it all loose, but now I can turn and actually ride on just the rear 2 wheels which has been a nice change
I ended up doing 7mi yesterday avg speed of 35mph. Forgot how much fun it was to ride when everything worked
Next on the list is to de-jankify my top box mount system
The strap and vhb has yet to fail, I am just growing tired if the ratchet strap look, and wonder if I can make it better
I designed a new mount to print out and am just waiting on the print to mock it up.
Also might be time to switch my binding setup, or re adjust at least, after those 7 miles my legs were killin me.

Well I have some news
Me and my Girlfriend got lucky and just pulled some permits to go hike the Pct in July
Which means the boards get sold or put into storage, and everything else must go
So the Mini swap is off the table, and El Royale will be sitting for a few months to a few years at most
Very excited to get out and make a change
I’ve spend a lot of time in the wilderness, but nothing quite as long as that.
We are going Sobo from Canada down to Mexico, Starting a few days early at Harts Pass to make it to the Northern Terminus
Feel free to reach out if anyone wants to join us for a day or 2.
Going to be an adventure

Well some interesting things have occurred which have been the reason for my disappearance.
Firstly, Chemical guys sucks, Don’t work of them. Internal struggles out the whazoo
Secondly, I am unemployed and man it’s hard to find something new, The past month i’ve applied to 86 new jobs, i’ve gotten 1 call back, to which they said they will call back to schedule an interview. Nothing came of that, with them telling me they filled the position a week later.
I can’t help but feel like i’m stuck in a weird spot. I had an interview at a bike shop, (I worked in the bike industry for 6 years before my last job) and they chose someone else who was more “current” in the bike world.
So now I feel as though i’m not a Manager or a Detailer, nor do I feel like a bike mechanic or Salesman.
I dropped out of high school at 17, school wasn’t for me, don’t think it ever will, but I had my work to be proud of. Now with no work it’s not a great feeling.
I feel like no matter what I choose next is going to be a disaster, but obviously that is just me being anxious in changing what I want to do in life.
I’ve had to get rid of a lot of my things to make ends meet this past 2 or so months, no more drones, no more bike stuff, and skateboard is going to be next, but I just can’t seem to get rid of it.
I guess my question would be what have you done in a time similar to mine?
With only 2ish months until we leave it’s been a stressful time with what it going to happen
There’s part of me that wants to say fuck it. Leave the apartment behind, leave everything, get in the trail and just go.
I know that’s not how it works tho, especially bringing my gf with me.
I know I’m scrappy, and it brings me joy to be in the unknown, but for her It’s not like that. And I can’t help but think that if I drop everything she’s going to go with it.
I love my worldly possessions, who doesn’t, but I just feel like my life is leading in a direction that isn’t what I want it to be.
I sit at home content with what’s going on, but really think about what if home wasn’t promised.
Would that bring joy or fear? Both.
But joy and fear is better than nothing. No emotions but stress. At least recently.
I’ve been trying to stay busy, keep my mind from spiraling.
I got the Meepo Mini finished yesterday, Not completely done but rideable and working great.
Sadie loved it, we went for a test ride that went longer than an hour.

I lived in my jeep for awhile when I was younger, had a pretty good time had no job for roughly a year and some change. I wouldn’t fret too much, as long as you got your health your on point. Work comes and goes. Reinvent yourself if you want to do something different. That little board is nice!

My 82 Volvo DL wagon often carried a foam rubber mattress in the back. Was comfy, but I’m only 5’10", and this was late 80’s early 90’s when being stealthy was less important than now.
Think about ways to black out the back, and pump fresh air in and out, not necessarily through cracked windows.
Just in case.
See if your lady could ever fathom squatting over a bucket with tight fitting lid or porta potty, in an emergency.
Roughing it makes one better able to appreciate the simple luxuries, which somehow became, OM?G! necessities.
Good to get outta SoCal too for a bit.
Go absorb some beauty of the west, meet different people.
