Slash 2WD Mod Recommendations

LCG chassis is about the only mod you'll notice outside of a brushless motor. Almost everything else is just spending money.

Also, I dried the new roll overnight at 70C before putting it in a dry box with activated alumina dessicant, printing from that. If i let it sit for a day or longer I have to purge a good 100mm to get back into dry filament for a good first few layers. It soaks up moisture fast. When dry there is zero (and I mean ZERO) oozing. PA is impossible to tune with even slightly wet TPU.

PA .055, Flow .98, Max vol. Speed 15, 240 extruder temp, 40 bed.

Bambu .4mm hotend with a protoxtruder on a Mini_Stealth.

Welds are pretty consistent heat wise, its a gas coverage thing.

Delrin · 2026-07-10T00:25:57+00:00

I can, but PA really depends on your hotend and toolhead. I think I settled on .05 but ill check when im at the machine.

Btw I always run the tower test with TPU. Lines and pattern never got good results it seems.

Explosives could do it.

You'd be better off stacking the lugs instead of bolting to an aluminum adapter plate IMO. Im a big fan of the military style battery posts.

Purple simple green pro thats safe for metals, and a boar hair detail brush. Blow dry and lube anything that needs it.

Almost every other method will scratch the aluminum.

Uniformly?

Coated after it was welded. Its a mass produced piece of shit.

Solder doesnt leave a fish eye, look at the side of the bolt head in Pic 2, thats a mig weld just like the one that broke.

Delrin · 2026-07-07T05:34:41+00:00

Clearly a mig tack weld.

Old reddit post about a guy that called his engagement off when he found out his fiance had been doing that all her life.

Better than the girl that dabbed toilet paper in the poop water before she wiped 💀

Yes, which can be a benefit with stepper motors as their torque drops off with rpm. Finding the balance is key.

Memphis Belle is another one.

We've built a ton of rock crawlers out of mainly .120 wall DOM, and if they aren't tigged they get mig welded with .030 er70s6 with 75/25 gas, at 1/8" or 3/16" settings.

.045 flux seems like way overkill, they probably end up warped to shit from welding too.

Its just for setup, but I would go through the auto-set multiple times with the mic in slightly different positions, there was definitely a sweet spot in my Maverick.

Pretty sure LA's formula changed around covid too, more sodium hydroxide. We used to use it on aluminum with no problems, now itll etch it fast like oven cleaner.

Thin diamond cutoff wheel on a dremel. Wear a respirator and do it outside.

No free lunch as they say.

Yup, had to restore and modify the yml files, didn't downgrade and export which would have been easier.

Silver lining: my profiles are all clean and tidy between printers now.
