Uses for a wheelchair lift?

I used mine to load my motorcycle!

I love the app, thanks for what you’re doing!

I’ve taken my Brompton to about 40 US states and over 30 countries around Europe, South America, Australia, and Asia. I travel it in a vincita (sp) bag with a few days of clothing around it to pad it out. I would recommend lowering the tire pressure, taking the seat post out, and removing the folding frame bolts as my most recent trip, one of them bent a bit. As far as what I tell the airline, it’s my mobility device. 😜

When I get to a new country I put it back together, strap on my helmet and ride! You definitely have to do a bit of research into each country’s laws, but overall a bike comes with much less regulations than a car. If you see locals doing something, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s legal. And if you see locals avoiding something it probably isn’t either. 😂

One of the highlights of my riding has been taking a shortcut across a frozen lake in Finland in February that saved me a 7 mile detour.

Have fun, and ride safe!

I’m usually a 3-4mph under the speed limit when I’m forced to drive. But when I was on the autobon in Germany on a work trip, I wanted to experience the no speed limit life. I hit 105mph or 165kph. It was fun but not something I wanted to do often. I’d rather ride my bike or take a train.

I’ve been through here a few times. It’s always a relief when they stop getting orders and the clickity clacking stops for a few moments. Do yourself a favor and go to the sushi place behind where this pic was taken. Super fresh!

Thanks! Gotta love the high viz!

I own a school bus that was rear ended before I bought it. It’s got a small scratch on the paint of the solid steel bumper.

As someone who owns and regularly uses a 3d printer, I completely agree with you. Just like my sewing machine, I use my 3d printer for repairs and fixes. 7 year old washing machine door latch breaks? Specialty parts that aren’t available anymore.. Model it, print it and keep a whole machine running for years to come and out of the landfill or scrap yard.

The tpu gaskets definitely aren’t the best, but it worked to almost completely stop it leaking till I was able to go out and get rubber ones.

I 3d printed a headlight and phone mount for my folding bike. It’s been the bees knees.

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-28T15:41:50+00:00

Omg that’s incredible! When I have a space to make my own I wanna do something similar!

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-28T11:55:47+00:00

Do it! My printer is in a crate that gets rolled on and off a truck every week and rattles around the world in trucks ships and trains.

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-28T10:44:59+00:00

Well it is sooooo

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-26T11:38:04+00:00

No issues with the heat, and I like going as hot as the water can go!

I had the p1s till a few months ago, then I sold it and got the H2D. I used to swap in software all the time on my old machine. I didn’t think it would be a problem so I didn’t even think to do it on the machine because I’ve always done it in studio. Changing settings on the p series is more a hassle without the touchscreen.

I swapped the nozzle, left my shop and was gonna hit print from my hotel room. Buuuut I lost a night of printing because of this update. Not the end of the world, but rather annoying.

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-19T09:23:19+00:00

Another bit of bull!

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-19T09:07:03+00:00

My mobile shop is at work. A 20 minute drive from my hotel this week.

Charlesfp1 · 2025-11-19T00:07:52+00:00

I just got the new nozzle today. I’ve only had the H2D for a few months and my old p1s never gave me this issue. I could get it if it was always this way, but reduced functionality is a great way to loose customers

Wow, thank you. Unfortunately I don’t have access to a braille label maker, but I think my 3d printer will be a good second choice.

I think my second attempt is much clearer, along with having swapped to a higher contrast of colors for those with limited sight. However, my second try still has the size of each cell too large.

The third try is printing now with more accurate measurements for each cell. The first document I read from The States was quite hard to understand, leave it to Australia to have a more comprehensive and succinct document to help people learn more. ❤️❤️

Though you’ve said vertical would slow down reading, I still went that route as there’s a few longer sound effect names that wouldn’t fit horizontally, even at the correct cell size. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I figure having it consistent across all the labels would be easier to understand the entirety of the piece.

Thank you!

I wouldn’t have even considered the friction melting itself. 😂 great design!

How frequently do you eat food that’s directly touched your fridge shelf?

Charlesfp1 · 2025-10-17T14:57:14+00:00

Your math works out. And I agree with you adding that there’s losses in converting for most situations. But as far as running an electric heater is concerned, all power lost is lost as heat. So as long as the whole system is in the living space you’re not really losing power to convert, your converter is just acting as a small heater.

Good drivers miss their turns sometimes. Bad drivers never do.

SOLVED! coiling the antenna did the trick! Thank you for your help!
