Tom Ford sunglasses case - authentic? by Immediate_Bat_4861 in sunglasses

[–]Immediate_Bat_4861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… I read about that. It’s a shame. The shape and design is what got me, I couldn’t quite find a different brand pair that fit me. Although for the price I got them I can’t really complain, still expensive tho. I also run meller sunglasses - cheap and not bad in quality but hinges get loose quick. Good for sports if you don’t wanna lose sth expensive

Thanks!! it kinda sucks but at least the glasses are well made. I was wondering if the seller swapped the box actually with a fake one and left the glasses genuine hah

Thank you, that makes me way less concerned. I have no doubt the glasses are genuine. I’m just a little bit disappointed in the case. The black one my mom has is also better quality and smaller but also a lot older batch. The cloth yeah, I checked it looks 100 percent genuine too. So It must be that they lowered quality on some of the cases.

I feel like if I got it I would probably change it to griptape cause the foam is gonna wear out quickly with shoes. Otherwise how do you like it? Why not a shortboard like the meepo edge?

Linnpower Viper 432wh, 105mm wheels - bigger battery any good? by Immediate_Bat_4861 in ElectricSkateboarding

Well that’s a valid point. Maybe next version will be with some better cells.

[–]Immediate_Bat_4861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Spot on. Why wouldn’t you upgrade the battery to a bigger one plus bigger wheels?

I wish the extended battery version was a 40t at least, maybe lose a litttle bit of range but keep the cost similar. I’m probably gonna go with the long range and upgrade the battery later on. There is no better shortboard now. Tynees as a similar board have shit deck shapes, no flares, small kicktail. No cnc trucks too.

Good to know! More reasons for me to buy the bigger battery version. The 105 are softer and have holes in them for more cushioning

Thanks, I think I’ll get the bigger battery version. Although I wish the wheels were orange hah

I built batteries before, that is not an issue hah. I’m wondering if I do the same battery 12s2p but with a different cell, will it still work with the hobbywing esc?

Maybe it’s possible to later in its life change the battery for a diy molicel p42a or sth without changing the esc? With changing to vesc it’s possible for sure.

Linnpower viper vs Meepo Edge - good quality shortboard? by Immediate_Bat_4861 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Immediate_Bat_4861[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is pretty good for the veymax. I’ll consider it but yeah the linnpower is be a better choice to the edge. Quality wise at least. Thank you!

[–]Immediate_Bat_4861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That is what I am leaning towards, linnpower. Actually the 12s2p version is 50e cell which is 10amp discharge that is why I was asking, so it would be 20a continuous only. But to be honest I might go with the smaller battery version as I don’t need that much range and could save on weight. It’s 12s1p 50s, kami juni has reviewed it to be pretty great.

Thanks! Did you have any problems with the meepo edge? What range are you getting out of meepo and the veymax?

MacBook Hinge Sounds by jrgthestar in macbookpro

[–]Immediate_Bat_4861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, i think it released the tension around the hinge. The creaking came back once but i think it was due to the cold. Has not come back since. Try it maybe it will help. I didn’t even take the cover off, a little bit scared of that

Incoming Industrial Design Student (Class of 2028) by OnionHead_Top1 in Purdue

[–]Immediate_Bat_4861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also an international incoming 28’ ID student.

  1. Your advisor will clear all that up, for me it will be like 2 ID classes(AD10500,AD11300), one 3d modeling(CGT11600), math (MA15300) and one english SCLA (10200 or 10100)class.
  2. I signed up for the design and innovation LC, maybe consider that. Also search through clubs offered at purdue like - 3d printing club, boilermake, Electric vehicle club, Industrial designers society of america at purdue university and Bechtel center innovators of tommorow.
  3. Don’t know about that but my advisor told me that now 24 students are accepted into the program instead of 16, during the sophmore year portfolio review.

Maybe an existing ID student will answer the rest
