🖼️ Pictures and nothing else!

Thanks. Yes, I’m alright. Happened in a low speed. I didn’t even fall. It came out of nowhere though. I didn’t even hit a bump.

Kenna says it should be possible to just replace the hanger. Hopefully the phase wires didn’t get damaged.

Glad your okay, could have been nasty. Wouldn’t fill me with a whole lot of confidence just replacing that with the same thing

janpom · February 7, 2020, 9:08am

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m thinking too. Then again I haven’t seen anyone else reporting a broken hanger on eLofty DD so maybe just a bad luck.

Kellag · February 7, 2020, 9:11am

It’s not, I saw it happen in person. Eloftys are garbage through and through

@DerelictRobot Fuck yeah!

These work awesome just under the nose pointing down

Thanks, I’m gonna name it: “The Bluer One”

b264 · February 7, 2020, 11:51am

Name it “Tail so short”

It just doesn’t feel solid when I throw it on like all my other helmets do. It comes up too high in the back. It barely covers the occipital protuberence (little bump on the back of your head). I think it would protect me from one slow speed crash but not willing to risk it going faster. That visor feels like it would shatter into a million shards of pain in my face.

Were those the ones that have the new heat treated axle? Those kinda look like the first edition eloftys which were prone to that.

Brently · February 7, 2020, 1:37pm

What motor mounts did you have on there? Did 3DS make those clamps?

janpom · February 7, 2020, 2:18pm

I don’t know. I have had them since September. Could be the first edition.

Skatardude10 · February 7, 2020, 9:44pm

Is that PETG?

ryansinatra · February 7, 2020, 9:47pm

Nope, PLA

Skatardude10 · February 7, 2020, 9:50pm

Stepper motors can get pretty hot, be careful/keep an eye on that mount to make sure its not warping. If I were you I would print it in PETG at least or Nylon better yet.

ryansinatra · February 7, 2020, 10:02pm

I thought the thingiverse creator had said he printed his in PLA, but I just looked and it was PETG indeed. I’ll have to print one out of PETG. Oops

DerelictRobot · February 7, 2020, 11:32pm

“Too $hort.”

Or what about:

“The Bluerest One”

Venom121212 · February 8, 2020, 2:15am

Keep that tree up all year man. Don’t let anyone shame you into taking it down.

BenjaminF · February 8, 2020, 2:21am

If i leave it up much longer the fire marshal is going to shame me into taking it down
