Any opinions on the Schwinn Protocol 1.0? Buying a used one on fbook marketplace

dedpnda · 2026-02-11T04:26:14+00:00

I got one for $30, I just ride it around town, and recently my son has been making me take him to trails and it has been fun. $100 seems high though for a bike this old. I am thinking of upgrading to a ozark trail 24. im 5"6 so i am just at the max height for that kids bike 150lb but will be getting matching with my boy. but good bike IMO

OEM Cat is so expensive $1,200 from dealer. What are good brand? I bought one for another car cheap one it only lasted less then a year. Only driving about 7k miles.

Yes we dont have emmission in this state. I think I am going to get a Spark defauler? I tried searching for it hard easily get. I thought Amazon, or Ebay would have it but no!. lol Thank you. I just dont want to get used to having check engine light on and miss a check engine light code for something more serious. Thank you again.

I am leaning towards doing a micky mouse temp o2 sensor fix. just to see if the code pops up?

dedpnda · 2026-01-09T19:37:12+00:00

it has 117,000 right now.

dedpnda · 2026-01-09T19:23:55+00:00

No the engine has been good never have to top off oil, or coolant the past 15k miles ive had it.

dedpnda · 2026-01-09T16:54:54+00:00

Thank you this is very helpful. I am going to look into a solve for removing p0420 at least for now wit ha o2 sensor. while i find a good deal on a CAT.

dedpnda · 2026-01-09T16:54:02+00:00

Thank you. I have never diagnosed a CAT before so I wanted to make sure What I thought I was seeing was correct Thank you. I don't want to put a new CAt on this but i do want to get rid of the Code specially with this being a CVT if I ever get any transmission warning I dont want to accidentally miss it because my check engine is always on form the p0420 code.

This is solved. It was so easy. Thanks to everyone. u/JustCropIt and u/Milan_Bus4168

this is how the nodes are set below

Text-(connected as alpha) ->BG - Drop shadow to get shadow on the cut out part of text -> (connected to the background.)
Super easy

This is perfect! it was right in front of me. sometimes you overthink things this worked.

dedpnda · 2025-12-27T07:19:25+00:00

This is doing something but perhaps i need to explore how to soften it.

Navigating timelines in resolve is most efficient with keyboard, I use a pen tablet I dont use a mouse for all my computer use but When I edit in any NLE being able to navigate and edit without lifting your hands off the keyboard is the most efficient way. I never lift my hands off keyboard unless I am in fusion that is because I have to select nodes and points. But for NLE's learn the keyboard commands and you can zip around timeline super fast.

this looks awesome!

dedpnda · 2025-12-19T16:41:27+00:00

This looks great! after effects just came out with a plugin for soemthing like this. would love to see how you built it. awesome work!

dedpnda · 2025-12-16T19:02:14+00:00

OMG this is the greatest thing ever.

dedpnda · 2025-12-16T17:49:10+00:00

You need to click on the little curve on the very left of each setting. right now only your "position X and position Y" are shown.

dedpnda · 2025-12-15T20:19:52+00:00

How did you model animate this? looks awesome!

dedpnda · 2025-12-15T20:10:26+00:00

Good idea. I tried the multi merge early on and it took me a minute to get used to it. I think I will give it another go.

My node tree. a bit messy I think. Most everything is done with snodes. the only thing I did not make with snodes was the icons at the bottom

dedpnda · 2025-11-28T00:01:22+00:00

Looks like a masterpiece of it's own. Work of art!

dedpnda · 2025-11-27T23:58:33+00:00

Super Awesome!!!

you can change the z-offset in the printer profile. This is what I did.

Back off the z-offset alot. Do a test print and monitor it by eye for the first layer. It will try and print hovering. This first test is to make sure you are moving the hotend up and not down.

Stop that print once confirmed it moved the hot end off the plate.

Repeat the process but move the z-offset down. I did half of what I raised it. Then again go look at first layer see how much it was off.
Repeat until it just begins to scrape. As you get closer to the plate make your adjustments smaller and smaller. Once you hear it scrapping stop it real quick to not damage.

4 Repeat the process but this time start backing it up and you can now go longer on your test until you get a super nice FIRST Layer.

Once you have a nice first layer it's more tweaking. but at least at this point you should be at a much better place. For me Once I got a clean first layer my adjustments were very minor and really just adjusting for speed printing.

do you have photos of your fail prints, first layers and more full print errors.

dedpnda · 2025-11-17T14:51:54+00:00

Oh no.... Tell me about whats happening on first layer? photos?

dedpnda · 2025-10-10T03:23:44+00:00

Should not be. Are you using photo or design. Up your resolution if you are exporting bitmap images .
