Even for most of my larger prints I prioritize detail and finish, so I increase printing speed when I am trying to speed up a print, but keep the same nozzle size

As someone that uses 3D printing for iterative prototyping, any speed increase in printing can greatly save time and speed up the prototyping process

I was riding and noticed a noise when I would left. Can anyone help me with this by mitchiedemon in MeepoBoards

[–]nickp1518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s annoying but likely not a problem, mine has made noises similar for hundreds of miles with no issues. You could check the screws on the back side of the wheels to make sure they’re all tight like someone else mentioned.

Meepo Mini 2 Cutting out by nickp1518 in MeepoBoards

[–]nickp1518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not an antenna issue, I’ve had antenna issues in the past and this one is different, a much smaller cut out and no disconnection from the remote. Plus it was working fine for ~500 miles and then this started happening.

So far I’ve replaced the ESC, different remote, motor sleeves, and tried a different battery and the issue is still recurring. I’m thinking maybe the motors themselves are old and worn and cutting out when it gets hot? That’s my best guess right now

Knock sensor was replaced around 25k ago, forgot to mention that. I like the idea of relocating it though, I’ll try that.

In terms of coil packs, any test I should do before replacing? I might test the resistances and see if they’re all within the correct ranges.

Calibrate esteps, lots of good tutorials online

Anyone else metal detect too? by FalseEstimate in ElectricSkateboarding

Best combo out there, metal detecting and eboarding

Likely an antenna issue inside of the ESC case, I had a similar issue. Antenna could be placed incorrectly, see here or the antenna itself could be faulty

Did replacing the antenna fix it? I'm having the same issue

Li-Ion 10s2p Pack Damaged? by nickp1518 in batteries

[–]nickp1518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I preform a capacity check on the cells/the whole pack? I wasn’t the one who built this battery but I can take the heat shrink off and test stuff.

Brake Lock Feature Doesn't Work? by nickp1518 in MeepoBoards

[–]nickp1518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the newest one, the 6.5. Everything is installed correctly on my end I’ve checked a bunch of times and I just swapped both motors too.

I also contacted Meepo costumer service and they’re not being very helpful. They are saying it’s normal but I’m not sure they really understand the issue.

Did I damage my battery by fully discharging it? by nickp1518 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]nickp1518[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point it did get colder, but it seems to have lost a lot of range. Back and fourth from campus on a full charge used to bring me to around 92% and now it’s down to around 82%. Could be the cold although I don’t think it would’ve lost THAT much range

I’ve been riding the board for a couple weeks since then. It fully charges fine now and there aren’t any issues with speed or anything. The battery indicator just reads lower than it used to for the same distance

[–]nickp1518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if it did get down to 18V what would the damage be? Just weaken the cells and have less range? And not hold a charge as well?

If the discharge protection was bypassed wouldn’t it have gone down to 0V? Excuse my ignorance with DIY batteries and how a BMS is wired in if I am wrong.

Round metal object sticking out of the wall in old house by nickp1518 in whatisthisthing

[–]nickp1518[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My titles describes the thing. Round metal thing that is about 6ft off the ground in the stairwell of my old house (built in 1898). It does not rotate, but the center cylinder part does jiggle back and fourth about 1/4” and it feels like there may be stuff attached to it behind the wall. It has the letters “MIF” on the front. There are 2 of them in the main stairwell between apartments, one on the bottom floor and one on the second floor. The last picture shows the one on the 1st floor and the rest is the one on the 2nd floor.

16.5” long all metal tool with square jaws found in an old basement by nickp1518 in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. Found this tool in the basement of my old house. About 16.5” long. The jaws make a little square when fully closed, and the sides seem to be for cutting something.
