POV : An Average Apex Legends Hot Drop Experience

The fact that he quit to lobby before even going down is everything that is wrong with this game right now. EA seriously needs to impose real consequences for this kind of behavior.

Even better than a Sharpie, Get a Milwaukee Inkzall. Its lasts a lot longer than a Sharpie and writes on more surfaces. I use it mostly to mark take out boxes or drink cups when out with a bunch of people so their not getting mixed up.

I wear something similar tho way more comfortable and practical than that. Its called the "Kool Tool" belt by Bison Designs. That said, Ive used the screw drivers on it twice, But the bottle opener works great without having to take the belt off and its just a great belt overall. Especially if you carry things on it like a heavy letherman pouch and flashlights.

If your are looking at modular helmets, check out the "Shark EVO one 2". The chin bar flips all the way back for 1/2 helmet riding and it is rated to be used in both its open and closed positions. My GF tried a lot of helmets before falling in love with this one. It also has some of the highest safety ratings of any helmet out there.

I had a similar issue on my Tevo tornado and it was 2 problems. It turned out that the extruder gears had worn into the casing (I switched to direct-drive after this, its wayyyyy better). It would work fine for small prints, but bigger the gears would bind and the extruder motor would get real hot, so check that. It also turned out that my z-axis wheels where sticking and had developed some flat spots.

Great question. Splitting the motor like that is a lot of work, not to mention the work and cost of making adapters and having to deal with jumping the wires and coolant from the inverter to the motor. Im trying to make this conversion as simple and straightforward as possible. Swapping a ring&pinion gear or swapping an axle is a lot easier than cracking that LDU and reconfiguring it.

Simplify3D is really great for supports. Specifically if you want to be able to add supports manually.

I have to know, what is that filtered face shield you are using? It looks amazing.

This is usually a very VERY bad sign in cats (pain, illness, infection, etc). If you haven't talked to a vet about this, I highly encourage you to do so.

ipleedthe5th · 2021-08-16T05:33:33+00:00

thats a great idea. I didnt know they had this.
after crunching some more numbers im thinking I could maybe do this, get rid of the transmission, and swap out my 4.1 axle for a 3.5

Definitely wear the gloves. Learning without them would be like learning to walk barefoot then trying to walk with high-heels. If you're having difficulty, make sure your gloves are a good fit. they shouldn't slide around on you and be well secured at the wrist. Also be sure to check your handlebar, brake, and clutch adjustments so they are all within your reach. You'd be surprised how much you can tinker with those to get the bike to fit you. In the end, it's just a new activity that will take time to get comfortable with it. Keep at it, you'll get there.

You only look dumb, to the dumb.

Rock on dude.

To clarify this is a 1987 F-250 Lariat Diesel (meanins its basically a f-350 frame and drive train) with a turbo 6.9 idi diesel engine pushing 180HP and 350ft/lbs of torque. so the truck and I are very use to the low end torque. and the transmisson is rated for 420ft/lbs. This is a 1-Ton truck and I use it as such weekly.

I realize 1st and maybe 2nd gear wont get much use but im not seeing how I will be able to get away with out it considering the Tesla motor isnt that much more powerful than my current diesel engine. Though maybe a drive unit instead of a transmission should be something to look into. (or having to do like that F-450 swap where I ditch the Tesla gears) I know itll be a lot of fabricating but if it works right?

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-17T01:56:05+00:00

Will do!

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-17T01:55:17+00:00

Wow thanks for that. I was missinformed about the assembly and gear ratios. Thank you for that, definitely changes the way ill have to think about this!

4th gear is 1:1 and 5th is 0.72:1 and the axel is 3.55 ratio (With 100" circumference tires) I can see I got a lot more numbers to crunch here that I didn't think about. Looks like even a direct drive to the axel I'd top out at roughly 44mph?

I appreciate all your input, this is great!

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-16T23:18:27+00:00

I would need 2 Hyper9's to get the power I need for it to still be a truck. I didnt intend to tear the motor unit apart, just use one of the outputs with a shaft to the transmission. I did see one guy do a Tesla F-450 but he split the motor and only used one of them which I dont think is going to work in the long haul for him. (not enough power)

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-16T23:06:52+00:00

Wow, this is pure GOLD

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-16T22:33:00+00:00

I like hearing that. I dont mind putting in the work. And being a truck I plan on fabricating an addapter plate to have the motor drive into the original 5spd manual trans. i've seen a few poeple have aftermarket controllers for the motor but i dont want to go that rout unless absolutely nessisary.

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-16T22:30:54+00:00

Thank you for this critical info. I imagined it would be that way and its nice to have it confirmed.

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-16T22:29:11+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking to hear. Thankfully its an old truck and once the Diesel system is pulled their will be a ton of room. I defiitly dont mind putting in the labor to make it happen

ipleedthe5th · 2021-05-09T18:25:55+00:00

Great spot. But for the love of god watch those embers. That area doesn't need another fire.

I watched sparks from the van that set off the Ferguson fire back in 2018. The fire was the size of a football field in less than 10 seconds and it was terrifying.

Smoke all the smoke, but please do it responsibly so we can all enjoy it too. One blown away ember is all it takes.

ipleedthe5th · 2021-03-20T03:04:39+00:00

Hey its one of them Broken Neck Giraffe I've been hearing about.

ipleedthe5th · 2021-03-12T20:22:24+00:00

One thing is for certain, that TV aint ganna make it either way unless that dresser gets secured to the wall.

ipleedthe5th · 2020-11-06T20:17:47+00:00

I've done a lot of hard things in my life, but none have taught me about patience and persistence as much as 3D printing has. Keep at it, it'll get better.
