      @loaffette Based on a recent post on Reddit, I believe CNR is working on Varials rail guards.

          Forgot where I posted originally for my custom rail guards I was gonna get made, but I guess I'm posting it here for now.

          Hopped into GIMP, and churned these out. Will spend some time this week calling vinyl wrap stores local and down in the city and see if they are up to printing out these rails. Looking to essentially get a printout (on matte paper or vinyl) and stick them to the rail. Then, hopefully I can stick the rail guard I'm gonna get machined on top of the wrap or paper. I'm just worried about the onewheel falling over during a ride, skidding against the rail guard and pulling the paper/vinyl off with the rail guard, or pulling the rail guard off of the paper itself. May test later with an interesting rig I may make.

          Also worried about the vinyl made, and picking it up to find that it's gonna end up pixelated or blurry. Up-scaled images that were used to make the wrap by about 4x each to make sure that they don't turn out blurry when shrunken or manipulated in GIMP.

          ALSO, off-topic but I will be working on the LED project. I've just been trying to figure out how to really tackle it, and finding the time and motivation to do it.

            Will get these printed out w/out the white jagged frame. That was just to help me figure out where the style I wanted to go for

              @loaffette also the text on the bottom rail reads: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, I am faster than you~"

                    UPDATE: Rail guards are ordered, and I'm going to use my colleges large format printer to print out the decals.

                    Here's hoping that I don't get an angry phone call/email from the school, and here's to everything arriving on time

                    Also, I did some soldering
