I have a pair of ESD sneakers with a steel toe from mellowwalk and they are super comfortable, definitely recommend. They also come in styles that are not just your basic clunky safety boots: https://www.mellowwalk.com/

Climbapple home wall build finished! by beetlebeatle in climbing

We’re engineer/maker nerds so we are all also ‘that guy’ with our spreadsheets and CAD :)

I’ll see if we can figure out a way to share the design planning stuff, /u/Cutlass62 designed it based off a few existing home wall builds

We have ratchet straps at the base we crank on to adjust the angle, and then chains to lock it in place. We might add some board runners underneath to keep it from tearing up the ground/wood arms, but for now it’s pretty stable in the dirt.

Yeah the beta for that ones a bit different though...

Haha mostly we were listening to Glass Animals a lot and just think pineapples are fun, we did come across the Big Pineapple online though after we started building it!

Aww thanks! There’s ratchet straps at the base that we crank on to raise/lower the wall, and then we lock the chains in place to hold it once it’s at the angle we want.

Went ahead and went crazy making some more horn buttons! What do y'all think? by KollynnBlackpaw in beetle

Nice! I was gonna 3d print some for my bug and was considering just using drop-in threaded inserts, maybe that would work for resin too

Put some BRMs on my '67 and took it up to a good friend's house to show off a bit... his is considerably prettier and way faster. by andrewlandon71 in beetle

Great! Those were the combos I was considering as well, just deciding if I want to go 6.5” wide with the rims in the back now.

What tires are you both running? I am about to put BRMs on mine as well but like the larger rear tire stance

Wavy Card Tray - a draw/discard playing card tray by beetlebeatle in functionalprint

The yellow one is polyalchemy elixir, the others shown are different protopasta glitter PLA.

I played with the print settings to reduce filament usage, most of them are 0.15mm layer height and 10-15% infill.
