V1

@divouneh That's amazing 😊
Any ride in particular been your fave so far?

@lia awesome as usual...

Hiatus over but I'm still a bit slow atm. Health thingy (I'm okay don't worry just recovering still)

Been struggling to figure out a way to stop battery voltage being present at the charge port. A diode is the obvious answer but it introduces a voltage drop which when current is passed will heat up heaps. I could use a fet instead but as the voltage is always present one side I can't easily make a small circuit to block the voltage and turn on when present in the reverse. Giving up I just added an inline smd 3a fuse so if something does go wrong it blows without stopping the board working. That leaves the charge protector to do the heavy lifting keeping the 29.4v from escaping.

If anyone's got any better idea's I'm all ears :3

Before trying with a battery I checked if the board could power on and validate the power being received. Sure enough it was happy ^-^

With all my fingers and toes crossed I plugged in the battery and connected it all up. Surprisingly without any drama it worked and I was able to bring the battery back up to something sensible.

So now came the fun bit. Does it go beep beep zoom zoom?

And now with the footpads set to ghost?

Lil demon child. It's after my ankles for sure! However it's got no grip at all with that PLA tire so it's about time I got that sorted. With a 0.2mm nozzle and 0.06mm layer height I have begun printing the halves of the master tire to make a silicone mould with. It's gonna take a while though at this resolution... like... nearly 40 hours per side and that's not including the outer shell for the moulds which will at least be printed in a much lower resolution.

One side is done but still waiting on t'other. Enjoy a glam shot of it before post processing 😊

Just asking here if anyone (UK ideally) has an XR car charger for sale or loan ?

Got a road trip planned for about 10 days in July and won't have power where I'm going...

FM only want $40 for one atm but it's like $75 shipping and then taxes (I think)

Thought I'd ask here in the first instance.

@divouneh Don't feel nobody is interested. If you're having fun sharing then do please continue :) The forum is a place of shared experiences and community 🤗
It's been a pleasure seeing something pop up in recent to read through especially while I'm out of action atm.

@divouneh -- Be safe! Stay cautious! Wear your gear! Enjoy riding! Onewheel crashes can come from overconfidence.

Most every Onewheel crash I've had -- in my over thirty thousand Onewheel miles logged -- came as a sudden and complete surprise. With my gear tuned to the purpose, by experience, now I can crash, get right up, and happily ride more.

@fosterqc Omg yes that would be so cool. Would you keep the power side the same for authenticity or make it a sleeper build?

@divouneh Congrats on breaking new milestones.
Grass is pretty forgiving to ride so I'm sure you'll master that quickly. It's not as bad falling off at least 😅

It was finally time to add the XT30 😊 I've been putting this off for a veeeeeeeery long time.

And thankfully without issue (other than be knocking the headlight connector off) it woooooooooooorked!
SHE LIIIIIVES!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

(apologies for the vertical video but sorta filmed it for Insta)

I'm so happy it booted up fine. Batteries are a little lower than I thought so after a brief hiatus I'll rig up the charger and get it back to nominal. Unlike the XS I will be able to actually see the battery health too 😅

Woke up to some freshly printed parts. One in particular this fender delete. Might possibly be one of the largest prints on the resin machine I've done yet.

After post processing that a little I got the harness headers controller side fit and tested.

Lights in the front and rear all sink up so that's a bonus. No pic of the lights since I was holding wires together but trust me it looked fab. I just need to attach the battery connector now but I forgot I never painted the female end of the xt30. Trouble is painting these is really tedious. Too much and you ruin the finer details. Too little and you see the yellow.

I then remembered you can dye some plastics and would you know it these xt30's are made of nylon (or something very similar) which takes dye easy. A bowl of boiling water, some synthetic dye and about 10 minutes of stirring got me some really nice orange connectors!

Unlike paint it doesn't scratch off as easy which is a bonus and no more masking the tiny metal bits!

I ran out of time today to fit them so instead I'll leave you with some more cool pics of the XS and prototype GTXS together 🥰
GTXS sporting the new high kick rear pad and the fender delete now.
