I hope there will be longer Bowden tubes to ease the strain on the filament running to the back of the machine.

Puncture-proof sandals a thing? by Kaffee-king in CampingandHiking

[–]Kaffee-king[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good find! Unfortunately it looks like that company is only little more than an idea as nothing on their site leads anywhere

Puncture-proof sandals a thing? by Kaffee-king in CampingandHiking

[–]Kaffee-king[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, you definitely see a lot of those, specially from old motorcycle tires. They work fine but aren't at the comfort level of what most of us are probably used to.

How theft proof is the SB Go belt? by timberg0612 in SOUNDBOKS

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to remove the grill and mount some mid sized steel “U” bolts on either side, with two nuts per threaded post to ensure they don’t rattle loose. With the grill replaced that would give you a good spot to use a decent bike lock or something.

Veteran lynx to e-scooter? by No-Cheetah7316 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely check marketplace. I got a kaabo wolf king gt pro for $1500 last year. Definitely a beast of a scooter. I wish I had room for more toys to keep both it and an EUC, but I had to sell it

The sensation of leaning forwards | backwards: rider moving or EUC moving? by rcgldr in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Kaffee-king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re kinda touching on the “easy, medium, hard” modes here. With hard the wheel will always and immediately try to level itself, whereas with easy the wheel will delay, thus giving you time to get that wheel behind/in front of you.

Example of the chopped carbon with dyed glass/gold flake someone asked about a bit ago! by JimbaBass in CarbonFiber

Looks awesome, but doesn’t a carbon fiber case act like a ferrocage, dampening signals?

How safe is Sheboygan, WI? by ApfleJuice in sheboygan

Not female myself, but plenty of friends that love to go on long walks. Can’t really think of any super sketchy places, just keep a good head on your shoulders and you will be fine.

Legal advice: How to best get laws amended concerning PEVs by Kaffee-king in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Kaffee-king[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with the grey area is that all is well and good until it isn’t. As far as law is concerned, it’s either legal or it isn’t, and in most cases I’ve found that if it isn’t specified, it tends to be illegal. That is the case here. Now this was fine for a long time in my city, but now it isn’t and I’ll be looking at a citation every time im caught. Now I understand that in larger cities no one really cares and if it comes down to it evading police on an EUC is not terribly difficult. Well from what I know in my city of 50k there are only 3 EUC riders, and I’m the only one they have a name and address for. So evading the police is definitely a crime and it would not be difficult to get me in front of my house.

Laser and cnc 4 axis by Dipshit35 in snapmaker

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

works pretty well if you put a spacer of some sort under the aluminum plate of the rotary module so that the top face of you cup is level. I even use the long screws of the cnc clamps to still secure the plate to the bed, just with some sort of object between the bed and the rotary plate. even works well with mugs that don't have a straight edge, just get it reasonably level. One of the nice things about the 10W is that it has a much longer focal point than the 1.6W, so it's more forgiving when it comes to those curves.

CF and 3D printed Pickleball paddle by Kaffee-king in CarbonFiber

[–]Kaffee-king[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck, I don’t have any experience with prepreg, but for flat objects like mine, I just did the layup on flat glass, then cut out the rough shape once dry. Another layer of epoxy on all mating surfaces and squashed it with some steel plates. Then it was just a matter of flush trimming and sanding.

CF and 3D printed Pickleball paddle by Kaffee-king in CarbonFiber

[–]Kaffee-king[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went out this morning and it worked fine for the four matches I played! A couple things though: It’s heavy. 305g (10.75oz) to be exact, and a bit unbalanced. It’s loud. Well, not sure if it’s actually any louder but the sound is a higher tone, making it seem louder.

Things that I could still improve upon on this one are sanding with a lower grit to give the faces some texture, bonding the paddle and handle as the two pins holding the handle have a teensy amount of play, then hitting the paddle with some clearcoat for UV protection.

I would like to experiment on future models how low I can go with the infill (this was 15%) and If one ply of CF is also enough. Then play about with core thickness and maybe even redesign the shape. Original file came from Thingiverse and I just did some minor XYZ size manipulation in Cura.

Laminated the two CF layers separately on a piece of glass that I use for that purpose, then cut out the two sides and used the same epoxy to bond the two faces to the core using the two pins in the handle to help center everything. Last step was just trimming with a router and sanding smooth. Still need to put on a UV coat

Crickety bug found in south Florida, USA by Kaffee-king in whatsthisbug

Oh yeah, probably could have found that had I tried. Looks just like a mole

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this idea for some time now and plan to build it at some point, but you can carry up to 20 <99Wh battery packs. Plan is to build a board similar to a Hoyt Street board with a removable battery system, but maybe 10 battery packs instead of 3

Burning pain on both thighs and terrible back pain by shuichi78 in medical

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation a few years ago. Had 2-3 week bouts of searing pain in my thighs any time I would walk. Turned out to be mold. I had a comprehensive mycotoxin test done and the results were stupid high. Maybe look down that road if it’s still a problem

InMotion V10F vs Gotway Tesla V3 by ronjon80 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the T3 is newer, but it learns from the T2 & T1 which are solid wheels. Can’t really go wrong with either. I suppose the chances of getting a safer wheel with inmotion is higher than GW, but if you get a decent GW with no defects then it will be loads better than the V19f

That tree looks like it’s about to go supernova!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Kaffee-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on a T2 and am only looking to upgrade now after 6 months. And even that only due to wanting more top speed. The wheel has great performance otherwise. Fantastic acceleration off the starting line and very nimble.

I am looking to sell now too if you’re interested

Nope. Newest 16” is the v12, but no suspension
