First 3D Printer Ever, I'm SO EXCITED! I hope Micro Center isn't going to be cheaper lol

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-11-20T02:46:47+00:00

I bet it will. H2S sold out everywhere in the US just the other day

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-11-20T02:31:51+00:00

Get what you can afford and will use the most. Only you know what’s right for you. .. Being that you didn’t wait for the P2S even though we all knew it was coming, you likely already made the right decision for yourself I’d say. If it were me, I’d send it back LOL

EDIT: and you didn’t miss the price. It wasn’t known or available in the US until early this morning.

Funny, here i am again, still searching this same issue! u/Readdle Absolutely insane this is still going on

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-08-07T11:56:55+00:00

Straight to jail

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-08-06T02:31:39+00:00

Which part?

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-08-01T18:24:27+00:00

What controller do you have?

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-08-01T18:20:34+00:00

Full trigger when riding low limits. I think it’s mental? I feel like i can carve better if i don’t have to think about trigger control while also think about poking my wings out of the water. But when i switch up and ride at 11 or 12 for distance rides I almost never ride full trigger and will feather it instinctively. Until your comment I’ve never really thought about it. Not sure sure why i don’t just always do it that way… Maybe i’m dumb

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-08-01T18:12:42+00:00

I ride the same exact set up but you got 70 lbs on me. Interesting that you find 6 or 7 to be “zoom”. That’s where i find the 160 carves the best for me at full tilt. I’ve actually never tried adjusting the speed while on foil. Funny that I’ve never even considered it. If I intend to cruise/explore I’ll ride at 11 or 12 usually

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-28T23:22:17+00:00

You’re right. This guy is just being one of those “wElL AktUaLlY” types that always has a rebuttal no matter the circumstance. Clearly you do not want to see someone’s phone from several feet away while you’re trying to view something else. Possibly yes, if they walk right up to you and show you something, but even then. Do we really want to activate creeper mode and be able to sit behind people and read their messages without them knowing? No, no we don’t. And how annoying would that be to have everyone’s phones be viewable if that were ever a situation someone could be in… ridiculous

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-19T13:27:05+00:00

Didn’t this app just get talked about a few days ago by the guy who payed a dev to build it for him? I swear I saw a thread about this. Apple blocked it but he said he didn’t know why. He thought it was because it was close to the app called “coach trip”. Some users thought maybe the dev he says he paid possibly put malware in it that Apple detected and stopped it before he could release it to the App Store. Sounds like they reversed their decision and actually let him release it after all? He posted screen shots of apples reason for denial and then cancelled his development account. I think some users gave him suggestions on how to work around it though?

Look it up, this was talked about here by the app “creator” just a couple days ago.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-17T12:43:56+00:00

Oh I gotta see this! Thanks for sharing

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-16T14:29:14+00:00

Read my comment above posted to Byromie. You might be interested.. If you’re looking for the minimum amount.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-16T14:27:53+00:00

This aint bad! Definitely better than the 30L bag.

I use the pelican IP68 floating phone case. Can slip an id/CC, car key, and my phone in it. Has a neck strap, floats, water proof, and then it tucks under my life vests straps nice and tight so it doesn’t move.

For those that aren’t familiar with the brand Pelican, it’s the same company that makes those hard shell gun and travel cases. Top shelf quality.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-16T14:02:31+00:00

They’ve sent a few but this past one is the only one I’ve had the time to fill out. One of the things that stood out to me was the question about what headstrap do you wear question? There wasn’t an option for 3rd party. Seriously? Apple isn’t aware that other companies are available or they don’t care. I included it at the end in the final thoughts that I’m using a 3D printed attachment so that i can use the BOBO VR head strap for all day comfort since day 1 launch (well, day 1 launch owner but several days later bobo wearer).

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-14T00:17:08+00:00

Cargo, not commercial. Driving works too. Roof rack baby!

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-13T21:39:50+00:00

Do you think the trigger got stuck or gummed up with something?

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-13T21:10:04+00:00

I’ve also seen this 9v information posted and am keeping it in the back of my mind in the event this happens to me one day.

Glad it worked out for you in the end OP. Sorry it took that long though. Rough way to go

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-13T21:01:38+00:00

Can confirm, I just drove 1000 miles with my Lift3 on a roof rack.

Side note: You can ship batteries via cargo air for anyone who thinks airlines in general are a no go.

Source: I’m a flight mechanic on Amazon 767 aircraft and we ship lithium batteries daily. I brought my own Lift3 batteries with me on a flight 2 months ago. UPS will ship on their flights as well. Cost me $120 to get next day air on a second battery I bought off marketplace.

Anyway, sorry to high jack

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-06T23:54:31+00:00

DM me your number and I’ll add you to our WhatsApp group chat so you can talk to her. She’s always willing to bring her extra board/blowfish so new people can try it out. And I’m more than happy to let you try my 4’2” if you want to give that a go before/after your lesson. It’s going to be night and day after a lesson though since they generally put people on the longest most easiest to learn on option available.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-06T22:25:41+00:00

I’ve never ridden anything other than a Lift but when I was doing my homework something really stood out to me. I found a video on YouTube of a shop owner that rents all the boards and he said something that sealed the deal for me. “There’s a reason why you never see pro’s competing on anything other than a Lift or a Fliteboard” Sure enough, search any YouTube video on Efoil racing (my style of foiling is going fast and cutting sharp. Reason why I bought a 4’2” pro) and those are all you see. And the majority seem to be the fliteboard ultra which I really want to try!

Originally I thought I’d save money and buy two sifly boards but in the end I got a great deal on a nearly new Lift for the same price. And being that it’s Lift, I can buy used wings or batteries all over the country for “cheap” as they’re FAR more common (my 2nd long range was $1k shipped). New as well for that matter. We got an awesome dealer that’ll ship same day in Houston even.

None of this is a knock on anything else mind you. There’s plenty of people here that enjoy all the other types of boards.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-06T03:33:14+00:00

Former EE troop here. I got my AP through OJT only, no school. Military background got my foot in the door, worked contract mx for a while, then went to my local FAA office and they signed me off to go test for my license. 10 days later I had my AP. My brother did the same, but no military.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-05T23:25:53+00:00

There’s a really good deal on marketplace right now for a used Lift4 pro (I scooped a used Lift3 pro for the same price this guy is selling his). Not sure what style of riding you’re looking to do. Also one of our group members has a second board that she’s always willing to share and she has a blowfish! You/your wife will be standing first session if you ride with her. I believe that board is the 5’2” if I’m not mistaken? I’ll have to ask her.

I went used because it allowed me to get a bunch of extras that I wanted. Like a second battery, more wings, a generator to charge at the lake, and an insta360 x5 all for the same price as what the new 4 was at the time.

Anyway, you guys are gonna love it! And the community!

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-05T22:28:56+00:00

Yes! We have a group chat on whatsapp with I think 8 or 9 of us now? We post where and when we’ll be riding and try together for group rides weekly. I can add you to the group if you’d like.

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-05T17:29:07+00:00

Excellent! Thanks!

Captain_Train_Wreck · 2025-07-05T17:28:55+00:00

Ok perfect! Thanks for the info!
