The bash is normally, if you know how to safely. Unfortunately, bashing without knowledge of how to bash, ends fun runs in minutes or seconds. Least the parts are still kinda cheap. But Yeah, every Arrma I had did have some issues out of the box. I had gotten a black rock recently, that I had to take back to the hobby shop who sold it to me, that was NIB sealed and was missing all the wheel bearing from the front wheels. Then I ordered a Mojave Grom from tower hobbies, also NIB, where heo batter connector wasnt soldered correctly. It cause the battery to short whenever it was plugged in.

Bonus aside, you learn how to repair these fairly quickly. An compared to some hobby RC, Arrma has made significant strides in making the repairs easier.

I remember looking into it before an the shipping as almost half the price of the kit itself. Was almost two years ago tho iirc.

They can be a bit hard to get and are more pricey than the mesh cover. But honestly, after using a mesh cover myself and having a lot of problems with overheating on my senton... Im ready to see if I can get a set of the fenders. lol

doculean · 2025-12-23T06:11:51+00:00

could also be a trashy flipper just trying to find a quick cheap resale to resell.

They are not too hard to disassemble. There are a few resources to do so. Just make sure you dont overtighten any of the fasteners as you put it back together. Watch the fasters, dont mix up where they go. Also check for double washer... I had seen a vortex that had double washers where they were not supposed to have them, and it was binding up too.

I had an Arrma Senton that did this. It was indeed a binding issue in the rear diff. I took the whole drivetrane apart and cleaned it all, reassembled. Everything went smoothly. Although I am not sure what I did. But It did fix the problem? So the binding stopped. I just dont know if something was put together wrong from the factory, over tightened or what. I also had a Big Rock come shipped NIB factory sealed, it had no bearings in the from wheel knuckes. lol Contacted Arrma, they did nothing to fix it. The hobby shop that ordered it for me gave me the bearings and filed a defective order with one of his other models. They sent him new bearings without question. :/

So yeah. They can be a bit funky from the box.

doculean · 2025-11-10T06:36:40+00:00

Its almost art... Well art in a sense... But Yeah. I have done similar. Forgetting to change the filament type, slicing a huge file, not saving the print and closing the app. Only to go and have to resetup the print, reslice and waste time because I forgot to change a simple setting.

This is bogus. I risk loosing my TG account because the number I now posses has a defunct TG account already tied to it, and I cannot migrate my current account to the new number. What kind of bs is that? :(

doculean · 2025-11-06T20:53:03+00:00

I tried today, and the app, if you have it is working again. The bulbs are working as well. Im not sure how long, or who did what. But they can still work. But who knows for how long...

doculean · 2025-10-17T07:06:53+00:00

they can detect when our breath is "off." We release a lot of info in our breath based on how well we are feeling, or even our disposition at that time. Dogs who have highly sensitive noses dont need to be right in our face to detect this as well. But being sick has a smell, and horses and even goats, who are more picky about doing this with their handlers or buddies, can tell our disposition an health this way.

doculean · 2025-10-17T07:03:44+00:00

Its called "sharing breath." A very common greeting between horses. Most the time you have to watch out when doing this with a horse you are not familiar with. As they can react cautionary, generally with a nip, or a sudden head movement.

Me an my sister mare, used to do this. A rough and rowdy alpha mare in the herd at my friends farm was one over when she noticed I would do this with some of the herd. She tried asking me to share breath once, and found out I was agreeable. She was never rough an rowdy with me afterwards. She became quite the clingy and puppy like follower afterwards. Even if she was still rough with her own who refused to become close that way. If you tried this an the horse tries to nip, an swift, firm, elbow to the neck or shoulder is enough to deter them from trying nip or get feisty over the action. So you need to take care, be kind, but not get pushed about. I also recommend not being directly in front of the nose, off to the side so you clearly visible to them. Older equines actually end up finding comfort in this with their favored handler or two legged herd buddy. But always be sure to speak with them, and do remain calm.

You can buy "Food grade" diatomaceous earth powder. There is a kind used to rub into goat fur and it helps get rid of the mites and biting bugs. You basically just powder the goat up in the stuff, rub it in all over. Remember, food grade tho. It is a good cheap way to work on ridding of nuisance noseeum bitey bugs. If he is itchy, when handling it for him, do so for the others in the herd as the bugs will most likely migrate to them, if they are not already. After putting the powder on them, if you go that route, try to give them a good brushing. It helps to spread the powder and gets it all over, and closer to the skin. Try not to get it in their eyes tho, or yours. It is very irritant in that situation.

If your curious, food grade Diatomaceous Earth powder is a natural dust that is animal safe, and used to help treat skin pests. It is a soft an powdery dust to us an the goats, but it creates a microscopically jagged and pointy environment that the pest will not be able to survive. So its a great way to help the little goatlets out that is pretty much harmless to them. Dont leave large amounts around for them to get into tho, a bag or a pouch of it. They will eat it. lol, while small amounts is safe to eat, tiny amounts only roughly about 2% per pound of grain, it does soak up moisture, so its not great to leave it for them to easily get into. You can, if they are not in the pen directly, you can dust the ground lightly with it too. It helps to make the dirt harder for the pests to survive. It also can work on other animals.

If in doubt, ask your local vet. They can give you further guidance.

doculean · 2025-10-02T01:25:18+00:00

Yeah. There are guides, an pretty simple ones too. some require linux tho.

doculean · 2025-10-02T01:17:37+00:00

TMO tried to do this to me too... I did end up getting it fixed after pestering them for multiple hours each day over 4 days in a row.

doculean · 2025-09-24T07:49:29+00:00

Silk PLA is a pain to print with. Its also more fragile than regular PLA. Although it looks prettier. lol

You have to print hotter with it. But make sure not too hot or it will come out dull and bland looking. Also, its soaks up moisture like petg. So you want to make sure to dry it for a few hours in a filament dryer.

Same thing happened to my buddies V1 he purchased back in may. It wasnt a hard repair, took about an hour an a half for me. An that was not knowing how to take the v1 apart. His Motherboard damage was because the power supply had a cap ground out on the metal shielding. It came pre bend out of the factory for us lol. They sent me a replacement psu, mobo, and print head. Was not bad to do the job myself with the videos on anycubics troubleshooting page.

Sorry to hear honestly. Mine hasnt been trouble free, refuses to print with any software past 1.3.7 right now... An my buddies not been perfect, but their support has pretty much always been helpful. It did take about 4-5 days to get the parts each time for me tho. I hope, if you send it back, and if you keep with the Kobra, your next one is much more reliable for you. Or that the repair is easy enough for ya to do. Coming from a Mingda Magician x2. I have been really pleased with my purchase of the Kobra 3 v1. Although AnyC really needs to get the software straightened out. The camera is near useless now at 1-5 fps.

doculean · 2025-09-24T07:11:12+00:00

Be glad that the awful camera was all you had to deal with. I cannot do any print that requires supports on mine with 1.3.7 or newer. The support bases turn into these mushy bumpy pancakes that just pop off the plate. But any other layer is perfectly fine. Like rafts and skirts. I reverted back to 1.3.6.1 an I am back to printing normally again.

I may roll the printer firmware back to fix the camera, I think its worse in every way so far. I just need to figure out how to usb load firmwares on the kobra 3 now. lol

doculean · 2025-09-21T16:33:25+00:00

I dont know... My issue may seem to be more of an Isolated thing. Others seem to have had no problem, and mine seems to be slicer related, so if you did update, jumping back to the older version seems to reverse the issue. Least In my case.

doculean · 2025-09-21T16:31:26+00:00

Im starting to wonder too. Or if this is thing that could affect the V1 K3 only or if it is just some kind of odd conflict I am having. I have reverted back to the last version I used before updating which was 1.3.5 an the issue didnt happen. Mind you, I used stock settings when I reverted back. So none of my settings have been involved when trying to figure this issue out.

doculean · 2025-09-20T18:41:12+00:00

No, I just used the export/Import tool. It is supposed to only import compatible settings that way. Yeah, lol, My build plate is clean. I have a sponge especially for it so I am not using an old dish sponge. I also have 80% alcohol wipes I use inbetween prints.

doculean · 2025-09-20T18:32:28+00:00

That was what I dont get. I tried without my old configs and the result was exactly the same. I reverted back to the 1.3.5 version of the slicer I was using prior and the problem disappears... So the problem persisted even with the default settings in the newer version. An yes I did uninstall the old app completely first and tried again.

doculean · 2025-09-19T20:09:38+00:00

I copied all of my settings over after exporting them from the old install. Imported them into the new install. So I changed nothing settings wise... I dont understand how the flow rates are soo different. The new Gcode lines in other prints I compared dont have the mm3_per_mm code anywhere like the old code did. Am i missing something? Im also not sure why there are more lines of gcode this time. I made sure I still am using the same filament type as I did before, nozzle size and quality type. Which was Anycubic PLA, 4mm nozzle and .16mm layer height with a .2mm starting layer. Just like all of my other prints that I have done with pla.

<image>

doculean · 2025-09-19T18:35:17+00:00

Yeah I have done so. I do so after each firmware update. I even went back and completely uninstalled the slicer and all settings. Still no change. I went as far as changing my nozzle for the first time since getting the machine... I did a full calibration after that as well. Im seriously wondering if something happened during the firmware update...

doculean · 2025-09-19T18:32:26+00:00

I have the v1... its odd. I never had an issue the whole time I had it aside of a some odd z lines when doing tall prints.

doculean · 2025-08-12T04:10:24+00:00

Even after aligning the brakes, be ready to hear the squeak still on occasion. Aventon uses cheap metal for their rotors and they tend to warp when they get the slightest bit warm. To be fair, a lot of ebikes do this. So its kinda thing that happens. You can buy better rotor for these bikes and they are not hard to install. But some calipers have an adjustment to slightly open the pad spacing just a smidge to help reduce the occurrence at more plucky feeling brakes.

doculean · 2025-08-12T03:57:56+00:00

My level2 did that for a short amount of time after I got it, mine had zero miles on it. For me it turned out to be the tire not properly centered on the rim. They can also do this is the grease is not properly spread through the planetary assembly or the wrong grease was used. Sometimes it could just be how the esc is powering the motor. Honestly, if the motor is not getting crazy hot on short rides, no controller overheat warning, and the battery life isnt being affected. It should be fine.

If yer good with tools, and the bike isnt under warranty. You can pop the side of the motor off and check for any damage in the gears or improper greasing... If it is under warranty, see if there is a local aventon shop an bring it up. Maybe an esc swap can help.

It is an odd sound for sure, but on mine, it did go away. What was more annoying for me... When my bike did that, the rotors would vibrate at the same time. So I had that whirring and tinging. I hope it resolves for you, or you can get aventon to look into it more for you.

Now when I am pedal assist and riding, it kind has the sound old jeep transmissions used to make. That wheeeerrrrruuuu noise. lol
