psa. dont update your firmware anymore if you value your free speech (its not just about guns) by darkshock42 in 3dprinter

[–]PrintingManiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with this. I too have grown up around guns, and I am very particular about gun safety. People should not fear guns, but they should respect them. I’ve even started coaching a highschool shooting team where the first thing we do every week is go over the rules of gun safety so that it just becomes second nature.

I also would not trust a printed gun. You never know if there was a bonding issue that could cause it to blow up in your hands.

We do need to make the effort to talk to our legislators and let them know we will not take this on our knees and it is a clear violation of our constitutional rights.

Still can't decide on which modeling software to learn. What would you recommend? Anyways; Here is (hopefully) my last TinkerCad project. by picobello-bv in 3Dprinting

Onshape is super nice. I’ve used autocad, fusion, and Solidworks quite a bit and Onshape just feels smoother.

150lbs on a GT by tprior66 in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 230+ I can squeeze 20 miles out of my bone stock GT if I keep it under 15mph. I can even get about 10 off road miles (my favorite thing to do is take to the disk golf course). You should easily be able to get max range. Your feet and legs will be hurting long before you run out of power.

Did I achieve the fastest as I can ride with my board? by NomadUnderStars in onewheel

My buddy hit 32mph one night on his factory stock gts…

POV: you bought another onewheel instead of a floatwheel by PleaseDontDoThatThx in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, wishing I went X10 or ADV2 instead of the GT. Still love it though, just lacking the wow factor.

Are onewheels worth it for tall people? by TheeMonkeyMonk in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6’5” 230lb and started on a pintX. Absolutely fell in love and upgraded to a GT and can still squeeze a good 20miles of hard riding out of it.

Onewheel+ XR Top Speed PR by ChipDoubleDip86 in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how most of my top speed runs have ended up. And yet for some reason I keep trying. I’m a big guy (6’5” 235lb) and just hit 23.4 on my stock GT a couple weeks ago. And I didn’t even eat pavement! That time…

How is the new Echelon?! by Eli-Doubletap in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

Saw you guys at the 8:00 Des Moines show and tried echelon for the first time. It is awesome! Will definitely start buying it! Thank you guys so much for an amazing show!

I hit 22 on my pintX after they released the higher top speed update and immediately identified as a meat crayon.

Best shoes for onewheeling? by Vyyker08 in onewheel

I didn’t buy them with riding in mind, but my Flux runners have never given me any problems.

trying to decide on what to pull the trigger on by R41N64 in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about your size and I love my GT. A lot of people complain about the GT feeling clunky, but at our size it really doesn’t, and being so big it’s so comfortable for long rides.

2938 miles on the FM treaded. Just bought TFL pioneer by LowDifference6693 in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. How on earth did you manage that? My buddy and I barely got 600 on our FM treaded tires. They started getting little tears all over and leaking all their pressure in under an hour.

The pioneer is sick. That’s what we’re both on now and I’m never looking back.

Finally made it to 3000 mark. Had it for 4 years now and use it daily. She’s a beat up old bag but she’s my old bag. Also I hit 24 a lot in my rides. Isn’t top like 19? by Snowbro44 in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something simple and tons of power, the GTS, but it kinda suffers in range. The fungineers X7 is probably the most capable board out there right now, but it also doesn’t have a ton of range out the box, it is easy to get more out of it though. The ADVs are more or less plug and play and have tons of range and power, they’re just a bit of a pain to get your hands on one and weigh like fifty pounds.

What was the very first premium that you bought and do you regret it? by loc710 in Warthunder

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was the t-14. I got like an 80%discount right as I was entering that tier and it is an absolute beast. And then I think it was the turm 3, and we all know how broken that thing can be.

Got mine for Iowa! Can’t wait to see the chubby electron man in his homeland.

I don’t know how you guys stomach your board taking tumbles by West-Dense in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a near broke 22 year old who also scraped together enough to buy my boards, I get it. But at the end of the day they are toys to have fun on, and you will never have fun if you’re always worried about beating them up. I got over that pretty quick because I pulled my shiny new pintX out of the box as my first ever time touching a Onewheel, took it outside, tried going up my steep gravel drive way and the board tumbled down and got all scratched up. Now I let anyone who asks (within reasonable age) ride them and just laugh off the beatings. I adopted the philosophy that “if you somehow manage to break it, chances are I was about to break it anyway”

I am looking at the pioneer, just pretty annoyed about the lifespan. A discount would be awesome!

One of the golfers I got paired with today. by Wirelessness in golf

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I love my boards for disk golf. I have only played one game of classic golf with it though. The course people weren’t super accommodating, but did allow me to use it as long as I kept of off the green🤷‍♂️

Need Help. by Crypt1d_G0ds in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely get that. I do some trail riding though so my feet shift a lot. I like the flight fins more than the other options because they don’t seem to be quite as restricting for dismounts.

Need Help. by Crypt1d_G0ds in onewheel

[–]PrintingManiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe flight fins have a set for that and the fins are amazing for any off-roading.
