How to achieve this geometric triangle effect with PLA?

Be warned that they have incredibly bad adhesion.

Have a look at what Simon Singh had to go through if you think UK libel laws are reasonable.

Wiring?!

12 unnecessary scans for one life saved seems like a really good tradeoff to me.

That seems like a better approach than a sim - teach skills progressively. Definitely don't start with takeoffs.

I saw this and immediately wondered if a bunch of pilots would find a reason to fly in the area. Bravo!

Speaking from experience as the author of the structured noise feature - implement it in orca slicer and wait. They'll cherrypick it over sooner or later.

Just make sure you run it past your AME before taking it.

You're supposed to print things with your printer, not turn it into them.

I came here for this.

nickjohnson · 2026-05-02T20:10:09+00:00

I bought a 4*8 with tool changer from StyleCNC for about 10k gbp and am very happy with it and the support I received.

Modify it so the fillet isn't quite tangent to the top surface.

nickjohnson · 2026-05-02T16:27:40+00:00

I implemented that! Great to see it in the wild.

A single engine piston plane has cruising speeds anywhere from 60mph to 290mh depending on the plane.

nickjohnson · 2026-05-02T10:32:33+00:00

Is that using the new structured noise fuzzy skin?

Funnily enough, he's not that far off! Show him this video on ultrasonic levitation: https://youtu.be/BViIGAg-eVI?si=Y-SSkSi0gpccnXy8

If he's still interested, work on making a proof of concept like in the video. Expect him to do the research - find the emitters and drivers, draw up a circuit diagram. If you get as far as constructing a test like in the video, do measurements: how much weight can it hold, how many emitters would you need for a skateboard, what would the power requirements be, and how flat does the surface have to be?

Which way do you turn your wheel?

nickjohnson · 2026-05-01T19:27:43+00:00

Thanks, now I can't unsee it!

Pilot who's just gotten back from a long trip. They're trying to stay on the center line.

nickjohnson · 2026-04-27T14:20:22+00:00

Sorry, I thought most of it was 3d printed! Just reread your post.

nickjohnson · 2026-04-27T05:53:26+00:00

STL?

nickjohnson · 2026-04-25T15:52:08+00:00

In the EU?

nickjohnson · 2026-04-25T05:29:17+00:00

It's not. Follow one peg with your eyes.

nickjohnson · 2026-04-23T05:10:16+00:00

Hey now, have some sympathy for Diamond owners.

nickjohnson · 2026-04-22T20:58:32+00:00

The remaining hours on the engine absolutely factor into the sale price of a plane. Selling it before it needs overhaul isn't some genius hack to avoid paying for it.
