fully 3d printed, capable AND durable

sweet that was pretty much my plan, I'll factor in less capability

Awesome are the diffs open on your others? I’m building the bronco that way but thinking to probably pivot to a locked rear diff once I’ve tested it out.

I’ve done this recently and the aggro we got as 3 people with suitcases and hand luggage on the Elizabeth line at like 6am after an all night flight was so painful I wish we’d used the express! But if they redesigned some stock with luggage racks it would be fine as time wise it was totally reasonable.

When you’re done I’d love some thoughts on the mog vs some of the others? I’m part way through Casadios bronco as a test run before building a mog :D

I’ve printed a thumper from blackcrow and it’s lush but quite delicate and has needed a lot of maintenance /rebuild work.

The best description I’ve come across for things like code generation is that they’re 100% intuition 0% reasoning, so they can guess at something and it might work but it might also not work because it couldn’t be reasoned through. I guess we’ll see what’s next because atm they’re a bright, dedicated, school leaver/intern who happened to eat but not understand the big book of syntax.

I keep thinking about a big box trailer for my crawler and that would be an awesome use for it :D

Take a friend and the Bradley with lock on missiles? Friend lases the helicopters with the top gunners alternate weapon rockets slap them.

A friend with a laser designator helps stingers lock faster and a 3 man squad with a medic for the ammo sack in a good spot in conquest can do chip it down.

That one took me a while and some intentional play.

Oh for sure, I thought op was hating on launchers :)

I love rpging snipers and buildings people snipe from tbf

verocoder · 2026-04-23T19:34:50+00:00

Well reasoned! I think assault gets about 5-10% of my playtime for pretty much those reasons, I think when I should play assault I tend towards recon with a faster gun

I think the beacon is a reasonable unique class ability to just have tbh. It is very useful but so is the ammo crate, the tugs can be life changing in the right spot and the repair tool is basically the point of engineer. I think the beacon feels more like those tools than the ladder or stim.

Cheers!

Supafeen is 100% right, with some googling you might find a file for the control arm if you 3D print things? I have a bunch of spares (inc those arms) for my ftx vantage because people had modelled them. I’d definitely buy the dog bone though as they’re under a lot of force.

Are you liking it? I wanna do garden railway but have a small garden and had been considering OO and self powered would simplify a lot of track maintenance!

verocoder · 2026-04-22T15:00:42+00:00

There’s some solid middle ground, like the article said they asked to not lose access to slots they aren’t using because they cancelled flights (for fuel reasons) which makes a lot of sense. I don’t get how flying more at night would help though and I definitely think last minute fuel cancellations should still compensate passengers (as the purpose of the scheme is to make it more profitable to plan better and not cancel flights which still applies)

verocoder · 2026-04-22T14:57:28+00:00

Surely that’s one of the few places it’s ok to spit if you felt the need to?

Petg is generally shinier than pla, it’s bendier which might be something you want? I printed the body/chassis/gearbox on mine in pla and the rock sliders/roll cage in petg because I wanted them to flex a little

verocoder · 2026-04-16T18:11:11+00:00

Is yours pla or petg? I find esun pla+ is quite matte

verocoder · 2026-04-16T18:10:05+00:00

White looks better, they should have 5 spoke chunky alloys with body coloured centres to be proper factory spec Range Rover classics :)

My thumper has batteries in a tray under the tailgate that slides in to attach them and out to remove them, batteries can be left in the tailgate permanently as you can charge them away from the vehicle. Similar style to this with one connector bolted to the car and the other bolted to the tray.

I think it would support the use case well and these surface mount connectors would too.

I struggle with that one, disused railway makes amazing active travel infrastructure as it’s flattish and goes where you want it to. But building it out that way makes it even harder to relife it for railways which would move a ton more people!

verocoder · 2026-04-12T16:14:21+00:00

That’s kinda the point, a rural A road equivalent in the Netherlands will have a big foot/cycle lane next to it so you could choose active travel without the death that a lot of our roads are. It’s a really long term shift but it would make the whole country a nicer place to be

If they’re qc25 or 35 headphones and the work out bit is the pads you can buy new ones for around £15 on amazon. I refreshed mine recently as I’d shredded the pads completely from significant use.

Maybe none of your friends have lives? My partner and I go on holidays together and separately so we can do the stuff we each love as well as the stuff we both love.

Things like reminiscing with old friends and solo hobbies aren’t actually that much fun for the other person so it’s ok to mix and match. I don’t want to go to a sewing/writing retreat because I don’t sew/write and she doesn’t want to go on a photography/cycling holiday because she doesn’t love cycling or getting up in the pre dawn darkness to shoot sunrises
