Oh fuck I thought you were venom but youāre the god damn scarlet witch. Please donāt ever utter the phrase āno more esk8ās.ā
Iām an admitted hub hater. I donāt like the lack of options they present. But, even I will say, hubs are generally perfect for trick/park board electrification.
Short commuters, however, lack the room for battery, and therefore benefit massively from gearing.
My esk8 mantra is, āfor every board a purpose, for every purpose a board.ā

What board is gonna do my groceries? Make me a sandwich? Keep me company at night?
Iām not exactly sure what ādo my groceriesā means, but Iām going to go with cutting board for the first two and headboard for the third.

With small hex hardware like this, if you try to pull it out and it wonāt rotate, the last thing you should do is push even harder.
I really do think these should come with an instruction manual, and in this manual I would have written
āOn the star plate adapter, when removing the three flat head hex bolts, make sure to heat them up thoroughly with a blowtorch before trying to remove themā
@Boardnamics Is already working on a way to prevent this in the future with a new design

Holy crap what did you loctite them with? Red??

Yes, It was with red loctite. I bought them like this to a member. I have to buy all new bolts for both sides of the gear drives, also the bolts from the wheel to the gears and inside it was a complete desastre. Bolts of the motors attached to the mount and the pinyons were loose.

The next gen uses M4 SHCS not FHCS so that will help a little with getting those out. Theyāre a bigger hex drive.

@Janpom any update ? Iāve pushed the trigger too (sculpfun s9) now I need to wait forever for it to arrive.
Did you succesfully cut cool stuff ?

Yes, Iām actually already using it for etching the DAVEGA housings. I managed to get rid of the zig-zag by disabling the bi-directional scan. Iāve also done a few other tweaks. It needed some dialing in but now the results Iām getting are as good as (maybe even slightly better than) what I got on a CO2 laser. The only downside is the etching takes much longer. (~30 secs on CO2 vs ~3 mins on diode laser.)
Cutting thin wood also works. I made a house for our guinea pigs from 3mm MDF. 
Here are some examples of etching aluminum:

My experience with laser cut was something like 7 year ago and we had only CO2 machines, didnāt knew there was a speed difference, but makes sens.
The hamster house is super cute ^^
Have you tryed cutter different materials than the regular ones ? Iāve heard you you can even imprint glass,
What about thin metal shims ?
The speed difference is due to power difference. The diode laser has much less power than CO2 so you need to run it slower to achieve the same result as on CO2.
I havenāt tested glass or metal, sorry. Cutting metal is very unlikely to work. A very thin alu pad came with the laser. Iāve been using it to protect the table when cutting wood or paper. The laser barely left any marks on the metal. Thereās no way itās going through.

Sorry about the box, it was a big order and thatās all we had to hand! I try and reuse all the packaging we get if possible. Glad to see it made it there safe and sound
