He's a floppy guy

Hi guys, I want to upgrade my stock pneumatic wheels to something a bit more robust. I was looking at MBoards Nova tires and they look like they might be exactly what I'm looking for.

The stock tire size for my 4WD Atlas Pro 165x50 and the 7" Novas I'm looking at are 175x50. They should fit without issue, I'm hoping.

The square shape of the tires along with the increase in diameter are the most desirable features for me. More surface area contact with the ground, and hopefully a smoother ride from the larger diameter. Unfortunately there will be a slight drop in torque, unless I swap my pulleys for a different size as well. I'm guessing there will be a little bit less range too. They advertise that the tread is deeper and lasts longer than other brands, so if longer lifespan is also a feature that's good with me.

What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Here's a cover of Born2Run! I'm learning a new method of playing/recording so it's a little rough. Suggestions on what I should do next?

Thanks for watching :)

Not a synth specifically, but I thought this subreddit would appreciate the design aspect of it.

​

I made this enclosure for my cheap audio interface. Unlike the original enclosure, It has 12mm mounting rails on the sides that I designed to be able to attach to my piano stand.

​

Printed in PETG.

My cheap audio interface was pretty boring, so I wanted to give it some character. It took 5 iterations of printing the face plates to get everything to fit properly but it all fits well now. Last picture is what it was originally.

​

I use it to record my music, so it's quite functional.

I was playing Goodbye by Bo Burnham, when this guy came right up to me and started singing a different song over me. He seems harmless, probably just thought I was singing something else. Anyone know what he might have been singing haha?

My boy Mooncake does both.

The flashlight is a Sofirn Q8+, which is pretty bright, but also can get warm after extended use. I printed the mounting ring (in white) in polycarbonate just to be safe. The grip/handle part is PLA (for now). I tested it for 3min on the brightest setting just to be sure. The front half of the flashlight reached 48°C, while the 3d printed parts remained around room temperature. Works better than I expected.

My last 3d printed grip that I designed was too bulky, so I took a different approach with this one. I used the same kind of thin grip shape thats on those metal grips that screw into the 1/4" hole, but kept the attachment method on the back half. Keeps all the plastic farther away from the portion of the flashlight that gets hot when used. I currently have it prototyped in PLA but I'm going to print it in polycarbonate later.

Really liking the Commuter backpack so far.

Redesigning the case of my UV-5RM to fit a slightly larger, better quality speaker (visaton K40). Still have a lot to do, so it's currently pretty basic and not quite functional yet. Once the design is solid I will have the project on thingiverse so people can iterate off of it.

Made a rough reference model of the radio's hardware first, now I'm working out the actual enclosure.
