The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[AKNick]

Printed a new hat clip for my Mobius as the old one was quite rough and would barely hold onto my hat at this point.

Did you finally get a printer? I remember you talking about getting a Ender 3? If you see something you like that I'm doing I can send you the file.

No I haven’t gotten one yet. Want too but I recently transferred into the engineering department at work so I have access to a Lulzbot Taz6 when it’s not being used for other things.

Dang!!! That's not a cheap printer either! Sweet little perk there!

Nice perk but its not a fun machine to run for smaller rc stuff. You can't use the small filaments, only the 3mm stuff. A buddy who has printed a lot of stuff for me has a AM8 and he can get way better detail on smaller parts than this thing can.

hope all y'all are doing well!

Hey Brother Bart! Great to hear from you. What you been up too?

Swapped out the motor and prop on my multiplex weekender last night. Stock 3 blade sucked and the motor was so low of a KV that to get what I wanted on 3S would have ended up with like a 15” prop that would have looked weird and probably had clearance issues. Now to find a new spinner for it

It's too cold to work outside on shed so I started stuffing the internals of a Taranis XD9 into a Futaba FG series case. Bought a box of old transmitters at an auction last week for $15.00. Gave a Kraft single stick to a a friend, keep two Futaba FG series and pitched the rest. Not as much room inside the case as one might expect. Need to eliminate most of the 2 mm JST connections of the boards to make it fit. There are seven 12 pin connections, what a mess. I had a FG transmitter many years ago and always liked the feel of it while they look rather odd. Throw back.

Sounds like a fun project. Keep us posted.

If I could come across an old kraft radio I would do the same thing with it using my x9d since I just upgraded to the x9 lite.
