Like… 'Nilla?

The N-word, presumably

At this stage I’m mostly just testing and playing with the combination of a raspberry pi+servo outputs+barometric sensor+attitude sensor. But if all continues to go as well as it has so far, I hope to build it into an RC plane with autopilot

Does coffee count?

Pretty good now that an obscene amount of packages from Digikey have arrived. My soldering iron is heating up so I can start connecting it all together, and a mount base for everything is in the queue of my 3D printer

Plus rule 6 is mostly there to prevent this board from being flooded with questions about whatever annoying orange did in the past 24h

Language!

I’ll chip in for him to hire a litigator.

I get my drivers from Ironside, and bits from Bosch.

All men are equal. Unfortunately this influential sack of lard doesn’t qualify as one.

It is. But everyone needs a dedicated PH2. With torx, a bit set is the better approach.

Like… your favourite PH2 driver?

If you’re asking specifically what the terminal windows I have open right now are for:

• Shelled into a raspberry pi, running top to evaluate whether this project needs a better CPU than the Pi Zero W has.
• vim, editing some Perl script that will go onto the pi.
• a terminal that I forgot I had open. I think I used it yesterday for editing some systems stuff. I used to to run sed to replace a bunch of strings in a file.
• ffplay rtsp://192.168.80.11/live (watching my printer to make sure the current print doesn’t turn into spaghetti)

UPDATE: Shortly after writing the above, I opened a terminal, fired up vim, and started a shopping list for Thursdays shopping round. My kids need various clothes, and I needed to ensure that I had the sizes correct. Not everything done in a Linux terminal is H4xX0rZ.

Just a couple of notes: Your material of choice isn’t a final one. Most printers can print most “normal” filaments, such as PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, etc, and if you start with one, moving to another isn’t a big deal. The only caveats here are:

• Some materials are harder to print than others. PLA is generally considered the easiest, and personally I find PETG pretty easy too. ABS is a really durable material, but can be a PITA to print.
• Some matererials are considered abrasive, so you’ll need a hardened nozzle.
• Some materials, such as ASA and ABS, cause toxic fumes during printing. Proper ventilation is important for those.

For outdoor use, the main factors are temperature tolerance and UV resistance. I’d advise against PLA for outdoor use. PETG is slightly better in these regards, and I am currently testing how well PETG handles a Scandinavian outdoor climate, and things look promising.

I used to know a guy who built a garage printer back in the reprap days. His plan was to print ABS garden furniture.

I was about to ask whether you were one of those to set up a printing-gantry in the garage for that extra print volume until I realized you were only talking about the wheels.

Is that PLA, or something else?

Have you done any stress testing to see how much load the can handle?

EDIT: Oh, and wouldn’t it make more sense to print it in its side?

No, he’s currently preparing a cure. The evil version is in this universe. You just haven’t gotten around to it… Yet

Incorrect, it’s A.
