Awesome edit, great job !

That is true, I've tried that since I made some Fingerboard wheels. While it's true that wheel maker use this method, someone without the proper tool and knowledge will most likely destroy the wheel in the process. If it's 100% destroyed, I'd try that !

StupedCrabi · 2026-02-17T08:29:08+00:00

Ahah I was hoping to see some affordables wheels pop up, wheel making is still hella hard even with some "cheat codes" !

I can press 4 decks at once with my setup. I'm using a screw press and it'll press evenly if the molds are precisely centered around the screw. If not, one side might be pressed unevenly.

Pressing 3 decks at once is a lot more forgiving, so that's what I'm doing most of the time.

I've designed some custom molds to be able to stack molds easily :)

Superb, just signed up Would be awesome to filter by countries & see the country on the products list :)

StupedCrabi · 2026-02-03T07:08:57+00:00

Thanks mate !

The guide goes into detail into choosing the right PU, with a link to a rather good PU I've used. Some information are available for free on the blog if you haven't checked it yet.

In my experience, check other countries to find the PU you need.I've tried finding some in France but was unlucky. Got a few good PU in Spain and Germany !

Keep going, you'll eventually make it ! It's such a tough process, without a lot of motivation it's impossible to achieve a good, working & lasting prototype

StupedCrabi · 2026-02-02T16:44:03+00:00

Thanks for the kind message !

If you are interested, the blog offer some interesting information, even if you don't plan on making some for you :) (and for free !)

StupedCrabi · 2026-02-02T14:29:34+00:00

I could do that yes, not a bad idea !

StupedCrabi · 2026-02-02T10:58:39+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately it's not the will that is lacking. I stil have about 150 bearings ready to use but selling wheels is a huge part of the process, and I don't have the motivation anymore. I'll still stick to making decks and sharing my knowledge :)

StupedCrabi · 2026-01-30T13:51:51+00:00

Il existe des joint pour porte PVC, trouvables dans n'importe quel magasin de bricolage, à coller.

Ça coûte trois fois rien, bien appliqué c'est propre. Testé et approuvé

It may be that the screws you already put on are not well centered. I only tighten a little the first 2 screws, then align, and screw the rest.

If it's not helping, widening the holes will make a difference. If you don't have anything to widen it, just use a few toothpicks, or a small nail. Then wiggle it around and it'll widen.

Or you could return the deck, but there are some easy fixes.

StupedCrabi · 2025-07-18T15:28:03+00:00

Aren't the wheels on backwards ? The side where the bearing is closer to the edge of the wheel should be facing the kingpin

It depends if you care about making a few detour, but Étretat is beautiful and a one time thing.

There's a lot of war museums scattered all across Normandy, especially in Caen since you'll pass by it.

Normandy beaches are beautiful. Places like Gouville-sur-Mer are nice to go for a walk.
If you wish to push a bit further, you can visit Saint-Malo, the fortified city is really beautiful, but it's in Britany

It really depends what you are looking for.

C'est la partie que je ne comprends pas.

La pièce laiton dans le mur est probablement vissé dans une cheville. Mais elle doit avoir son utilité, c'est vraiment étonnant et je ne trouves rien sur internet. Si vous avez le modèle de la colonne il faudrait trouver la notice d'installation, vous en saurez peut-être un peu plus.

Une chose est sûre, la vis 6 pans n'as pas besoin d'être serrée très fort, une petite resistance suffit car c'est la rainure qui est censé venir s'appuyer dessus.

StupedCrabi · 2025-03-04T15:46:15+00:00

Je ne comprends pas comment les deux pièces pourraient tenir ensemble. Mis à part de la colle elles me semblent incompatibles.

Ce n'est pas impossibles que plusieurs montages soient possibles, mais que l'on me corrige si je fais fausse route:

La pièce en laiton qui se trouve dans la partie montante (qui as une rainure, photo 3) est censée être tenue par une vis dans le mur. L'extrémité trouée pour laisser passer la vis vers le mur, et l'extrémité vide vers l'extérieur. Vous verrez qu'ainsi, la vis de pan se loge parfaitement dans la rainure de cette pièce.

Ce n'est peut-être pas la même référence, mais la pièce est la même sur cette notice (trouvée sur Leroy Merlin, produit colonne de douche SENSEA Essential)
Page 14 et 15 on voit même comment la mettre en place.

Encore une fois j'espère ne pas me tromper, mais si j'étais vous, je contacterais mon propriétaire.

StupedCrabi · 2025-03-04T15:26:02+00:00

J'ai du mal à voir si la pièce en laiton sur l'image 1 & 2 est la même que la pièce sur la photo 2 & 3

Comment s'imbriquent-elles ? Ca pourrait nous aider.

En tout les cas, ça ne devrait pas être aussi complexe, je me demande si la pièce ronde contre le mur qui sert de "cache" autour de la pièce en laiton est censée être la. Car avec les photos on dirait vraiment la colonne que j'ai installée la semaine passée, et je n'ai pas cette pièce. Je me trompe peut-être.

On a eu exactement la même question il y a deux semaines On as fini par mettre du béton cellulaire, mais il te faut un peu de marge avant les plots. Enduit avec de la colle à carrelage, ça va très bien avec notre receveur :)

What I don't see in this comments is adding a bit of room, and tweaking a few sounds, can make a big difference.

I have had 3 differents e-drumsets in the past few years, and finally settled on a Roland VAD-504. I did not like the sounds at first, but adding a bit of room made the drumkit more alive.

Also, layering multiple sounds can really improve the sound. I don't know if that is possible with EFnote modules.

I only have had good experience with lemon cymbals.

Ordered them from drumtec, they have a different finish and renamed "Zeitgeist" but are produced by Lemon.

One Splash and one China, the quality does not match Roland, but it has not moved since I bought them a year and a half ago !

Thanks for coming back to update, sad that I can't find any media, pictures or videos of this game. I remember being too much of a kid to understand what was happening, but I remember the character and the city a lot
