Hey guys, so I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on buying a Lymow. I'm a big tinkering fan, need something for my steep hill and this seems like the right option.
Currently I'm probably going to get the 5A battery version, and that's priced at $2,500. Any ideas what it might drop to on black Friday? I'm hoping for a clean $2k, any chance of that?
I saw these capsule shaped pumpkins at a garden store recently and thought they were pretty neat looking, so I decided to build a version that's modular! You can easily make whatever faceplate you want with an SVG. I'll be making different packs of faceplates for seasons and holidays. Starting with Halloween! The 'topper' on the top also lets some light through so the pumpkin top looks pretty neat imo. They also easily snap together for storage!
What do you guys think?

Hey all!
Just wanted to show off a bit of my current project. Some of you might have seen my floating beverage holder on here recently (The Edmund Fizzgerald). Well I have a new boat out as well (I won't post link since it's in a Makerworld contest), but I'm close to the hull integrity and speed testing phase! I'm starting off simple, just 2 motors and 2 props using differential steering. I'm feeling like a 20% chance this will actually be able to maneuver the boat. Next step is to try a different gearing (currently 1:48, might drop down to 1:21), then add a rudder if needed. This thing isn't meant to break any speed records, I just want it to move! This is for my battleship styled drink holder, next I'll work on the Edmund Fitzgerald and then the original CanTainer ship!
Hey all,
So I'm weighing my options between these two mowers. The Lymow One, and the Segway Navimow.
I have a smaller yard, .37 acres, so I probably don't need the larger battery options, my big issue is the hill in my back yard. It's really, really steep. I have push mowed it for 4 years until this year when I had some medical issues and had to pay a company to do it. Those issues are mostly resolved so I'm looking forward to mowing myself again, but to avoid injury I want to avoid the steep part of my hill. The hill is anywhere from 30-36 degrees steep, which is getting pretty close to the top end of the Navimow's capabilities, but after reading through this sub and seeing all the frustration, I'm not sure the Lymow is in a good place to even consider getting one.
I'm a hobbyist and I love to tinker with things, so I'm not crazy worried about needing to fiddle with it more. I think the advantages of real blades and a better capability to do steep angles is what keeps me from just buying the Segway right away.
Any input is appreciated!
So I designed a modular floating cupholder system that's styled as a container ship. The first one was cool, but I had a ton of people mention the Edmund Fitzgerald in my first post (which kinda shocked me, and also dates me lol). So I designed a wider version and styled it as the Edmund "Fizzgerald".
Finally had a chance to take this thing to the lake for a party with friends and it was super fun. It was really stable, the kids thought it was hilarious and fun, and took way more torture than I was expecting without any issues (other than one).
It was really good at handling waves. Even if it took on water (mitigated by the splash guards quite a bit) it didn't really start listing to one side until hours in to use, and that was pretty easily fixed by just lifting it up and tipping it to the side for some water to drain out. But even if you fully submerge it it'll still float to the top. One of my friends tried to sink it by stabbing it straight down in the water like a spear and it just popped right to the top again, another literally stood on it like a surf board under water for a good 30 seconds and again it came right back up.
The ONLY negative I found (other than the massive amount of filament needed to print this thing) was I was dumb and printed it in Sunlu PLA Meta, which has an EVEN LOWER melting point than standard PLA, so once it was removed from the lake and sat on the beach in the sun for a couple hours, the corners that stayed somewhat wet started to deform. I was expecting it to handle the sun a little better, but oh well, PETG next time!
Another one in my lineup of expanding floating beverage holders, this one is styled like a battleship. Ideal for pool parties and playing floating drinking games 😂 expands as long as you want, your filament budget is the limit!
Holds bottles pretty well, but you need some ballast weights to keep it from getting too tippy, cans are great for it though!
What else would you guys like to see?
And yes, I'm going to RC this and the others as well!

Making this container ship styled floating can/snack holder for a lake weekend coming up! It's almost complete, just need to add the remaining splash guards and cup inserts. This bad boy is 5 feet long and weighs about 5kg unloaded 😎
I've been working on my own bins for Multiboard recently, and thanks to the suggestions from this sub, I redesigned the crappy label system I had before to directly use the Multibin label generator. Works a lot better than the option I had before!
Any other suggestions people have? Things that would be nice? (Starburst pack for scale)

Recently created these bins for my multiboard setup. Partly as a challenge, partly because I had the idea and liked the style. Just added a 150mm version! Any thoughts? I'm still trying to think of a better labeling system. Maybe it's just a slot for a piece of paper, not everything like the label needs to be printed right?

I just posted a new storage bin design I've been working on. It's been quite a challenge learning how to do all of this with Onshape and to print it with (almost) no supports! but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. If I can get the right color of orange metallic filament I can see this being a good "master chief" themed storage bin.
They work on Multiboard, your desk or screwed into the wall. The one thing I'm trying to figure out is how to make it Skadis compatible. Any ideas?

My CanTainer ship has had some OK traction so far, but some concerns about tippage with bottles made me start to design a wider version with more stability, so I (loosely) styled it as the Edmund Fitzgerald!
Here's the link to print your own! It also still fits the A1 Mini!

So after releasing a drink holder that looked like a pontoon I decided to go a little...bigger. Here's the CanTainer ship! A modular, infinitely expandable refreshment holder styled as a container ship. I'm planning on making the stern module RC as well! Go check it out and print your own! I know it's huge but it even fits on an A1 Mini!

Back in March I designed these brackets to make building a workbench easier, but it had some drawbacks, so I just released version 2.0 which also includes a jig if you don't want permanent brackets!

PTFE tubes are so boring, so I made these charms to spice them up a bit. I personally like the benchy and filament roll charm.

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out the algorithm and I just don't understand how things fluctuate.
For reference, I was one of the winners of the recent "cupholder" design contest. After the winners were announced, my model saw a pretty big jump in everything, downloads, saves etc. Those started to taper off a little bit as expected, but then I got a message that my model was also picked to be a featured model. I thought that was really cool! Ever since that featured model flag hit, my views, and saves have dropped pretty rapidly, which is totally counter intuitive to me. Downloads and prints have stayed pretty steady as I'm expecting people looking for the featured models are probably more likely to PRINT them, but I just don't really get how being featured has resulted in less traffic overall.
Is this a common thing for people? Is it just bad timing with my model aging out of the trending page?
(I'm going to avoid posting my model as to not seem like I'm begging for views, but if you ask I'll link it)
Working on some fun designs for my child, I came up with this mario kart-esque tabletop game. It works pretty well, has some kinks to iron out but otherwise pretty fun!

My wife had a hairband she really liked that broke recently, so I decided to try and make something that functioned similarly. Probably works well with other hair types and head shapes, but is helpful for people with curly hair not have "triangle head" (direct quote from the wife).
Here's a link, open to ideas people would have on how to improve it!

Going to the lake I really wanted something to float my beer (or any can, bottle option soon!) so I made this pontoon for my drinks!

A question with this model post if anybody knows, I can't for the life of me figure out how to add the boat motor kit (MH010) to the bill of materials. It just doesn't exist in the dropdown. Is this a known bug or something?
NOTE: This model is not functional and cannot be converted into a weapon.
Modeled a fidget toy replica of Robocop's Auto9 pistol. Has a moving slide, removable mag and a nice big finger hole for spinning! Let me know what you guys think! I'm going through all of my favorite 80-90's action movies! Let me know what else you guys would like to see!

Hey all,
On Android, I haven't been able to get the Bambu Handy live feed to work for like 2 weeks, ever since the most recent app update I think.
Live feed works fine from 2 separate PCs, P1S is updated, I've restarted it, reformatted the SD card. Cleared storage and reinstalled the app.
Anyone else having this issue? Or suggestions?
