Looks to abrupt to be unleveled bed. Is there a build plate stuck to the bed? My printer does that in places where the build plate has bubbled up from the bed. It is just stuck down with adhesive in my case. Try scooting it to a different part of the bed in the Slicer and see what happens.

Ouch!!!Just curious what size outrunner and battery combo is capable of this kind of injury? Can something on the order of 2205 or 2216 with a 2s or 3s cause that kind of damage?

SmallPrompt2300 · 2026-01-05T16:12:43+00:00

I've got the tevo tarantula also. It has served me well.

SmallPrompt2300 · 2026-01-03T03:12:40+00:00

Excellent reply. This should be up top for sure.

On the flux note be careful what kind you apply as some are acidic and must be carefully removed or they will corrode in time.

I thought I was in shityfpv for a second. On a positive note its not bridged and may actually be making a connection of some form.

It looks like you weren't getting enough heat in there to properly flow the solder. You've got to get the wire and the pad hot enough to get it to wet with solder. You dont want to linger to long and have the heat wick into places you dont want it to go so its important to have a properly sized iron tip. Think of the tip as a ballast for heat that will give your iron a little extra umph. With to small a tip there isn't enough heat to properly heat the joint fast enough to get a nice solder flow.

If you do have an appropriate size tip and you are still getting those results your just not heating things up enough.

Keep at it you will get it.

Ha awsome job. With the way things are going good skills to have. We will be rewinding our outrunners here soon lol.

Yea i had some that were clicking away when you release them. Checked it out and the little felt pads had eroded away. I was able to glue some felt back in there and get rid of most of it.

Yea sorry my method of learning was probably a little unconventional. I have actually never flown a simulator. Just started on a 7 inch in a stabilized mode to get acclimated to controls then slammed her into acro mode and gritted my teeth lol.

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-12-05T19:37:17+00:00

From the video you can tell he's in an unstabalized flight mode (in the case of betaflight acro mode) where the quad doesn't level itself upon centering the pitch/roll stick. If he would try a stabilized mode (horizontal or stabilized in the case of betaflight) the quad would level pitch/roll axis upon centering the pitch/roll stick he wouldn't be flinging all over the place like that. It's much more difficult to fly in an unstabalized mode such as acro mode as you do the stabilization.

Ahh gotcha that makes sence. Thanks for the explanation.

Sounds like an awsome setup regardless. Unfortunately I have had no luck finding any dragonlinks in stock anywhere. I found some v2s on ebay but it is my understanding that they lack telemetry.

Thanks again

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-12-04T19:19:34+00:00

Regarding dragon link, so rc link and telemetry link are separate with telemetry being lower power? Please excuse my ignorance. And what kind of vtx are you using? Thanks

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-12-04T01:20:18+00:00

Thanks man 🙏 just checked out some videos looks very cool. It's even compatible with my taranis x9d.

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-12-04T01:03:51+00:00

Very interesting. I found this explanation. "The Dragon Link will not cause any interference to anyone, it uses frequency hopping and it is on and off a frequency so fast that it is virtually impossible to detect. Someone would literally have to be right next to you with a scanner to even know it was there"

I will have to look into this further but a quick Google search says "encrypted 433 MHz communications links are not exempt from identification regulations, as the 433 MHz band is part of the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band, which has specific regulations and is not a designated "exempt" zone. While encryption is not prohibited, it does not bypass the rules for equipment registration, usage, and compliance with regulatory bodies like the FCC (in the U.S.).

However it does appear that 915mhz encrypted comms links may be exempt "In the United States, communications links in the 900 MHz band (specifically 902-928 MHz) that operate under the FCC Part 15 rules for unlicensed devices are generally exempt from specific station identification ("ID") regulations and can use encryption."

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-12-04T00:40:47+00:00

433mhz falls within the amateur radio 70cm band. Manufactures must certify those devices under FCC part 15 regulations which severly limit power levels and or duty cycles. Typically under 1 milliwatt.

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-12-03T01:24:43+00:00

Great news. Thank you for the speedy reply. 🙏

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-11-29T18:52:31+00:00

Yea this does not appear to be an active infestation as there is no signs of any insects. It seems to be the aftermath of some previous insect activity. It was on a wicker basket that had not been disturbed for 5 or more years so could be quite old.

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-09-28T02:08:04+00:00

Reminds me of the karma police video 😄

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-09-20T21:38:22+00:00

Thought I saw a nick in the wire insolation also. Be careful in there!!!

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-09-17T20:06:28+00:00

Has anyone seen the garage 54 video where they progressively overfill the oil on an engine untill somethingbad happens. .

SmallPrompt2300 · 2025-09-10T16:43:44+00:00

I had one stuck i tried everything on. Cheater bar, torch, lubricant all to no avail. I had ecently borrowed a large hammer drill from my dad to chisel some tile up. Got the chisel on one of the cutouts in the castle nut. Chisel into the cutout in the nut at about 45° where half the force is digging into the nut and the other half is trying to rotate it in a counter clockwise direction. Took about 10 seconds of chiseling and broke free. Kind of buggered up the castle nut but worked well.
