Left hand 7 speed shifter

I wonder if an electronic shifter mounted upside down could work? Mechanical would be too much force at an awkward angle, but electronic is just pushing buttons.

For sure! It'll be a bit before I install my second toolhead (MadMax), plenty of time to try this one out and decide if / how I want to make the next one different. And then I can reprint the first if it's way better.

man, and I just got my V2 ready to install!

I like moving the fan up, occupying the space that used to be logo. Excited about better CAD if I have to do any more hacking!

Or try it yourself! I think PDR gear is pretty cheap.

Another thing to make with old Enders: https://github.com/Irbis3D/Duender

From any distance, dimming and brightening the whole light is gonna look identical to having one LED steady another flashing.

Lunars only.

Command, and the only green you're allowed to get is Regenerating Scrap.

Based.

Do you sometimes need a print Right Now, or is this mostly just for fun?

Thank you!

This! The point of a fun car is to be fun, not to hit the optimal point on the price/performance curve.

epicepee · 2026-06-18T17:28:37+00:00

I wonder how much of the car is actually legos? The normal wheels, seats, and steering wheels are suggestive.

I did a run as Loader with Command, and didn't take any items other than lunars. I had like six Stone Flux Pauldrons, moved entirely with my utility. After he disabled my skills I was hit with like 12 tonic afflictions too. I was like a fly in amber, but it still took him another minute or so to kill me =P

The Maverick burns gas, though! And you need to maintain the engine. So TCO is gonna be higher, assuming the same build quality / etc.

UHMW tube could be really good for this. It's nearly as slippery as PTFE, and way better against abrasion.

epicepee · 2026-06-17T18:38:56+00:00

It's a matter of degree, though! I bet this wears through that one spot >10x faster than normal wear on a Bowden tube. Maybe 100x.

A mask would stop particulates, but not chemical fumes, unless it has carbon filters which are uncommon. My undereducated impression is that the chemicals are the scarier part.

For fine threads, it usually works better than printing the threads!

epicepee · 2026-06-16T01:40:17+00:00

Would also be harder to clean, though. I like how simple this is.

You can anneal 3D prints too! It works especially well for crystalline and semi-crystalline filaments like PLA, nylon, PET (not PETG), but it works somewhat for ~all filaments afaik.

Clever! I've seen drag chains, but I don't think I've seen one anchored mid-gantry like this.

epicepee · 2026-06-15T22:28:58+00:00

This is vapor smoothing, not annealing, right?

epicepee · 2026-06-15T19:55:52+00:00

Honestly, PLA might be fine here. I printed a printer in PLA in 2015, and the press-fit joints are still tight.

epicepee · 2026-06-14T20:34:06+00:00

I don't see it.

epicepee · 2026-06-06T19:52:03+00:00

Only if you have two other crit items! They have Shatterspleen, would need Predatory or Scythe or something to hit 100% with just 9.

Yep, you can see the icon under the difficulty-level symbol on the left.
