damn that sucks. i was really hoping to see this thing at sirencon fully assembled. this siren is freaking beautiful! maybe instead of cutting the horn, you can just use a special glue solvent so you don't have to ruin your work. then once you figure out the rotator you can simply glue the horn back together.
THANK YOU!!! I just cut the horn, because i need to remodel it to make it thinner. im also making the remodeled one higher poly. And i just plastic welded these with my soldering iron, so if i really wanted to i could just put the sections back on.
@nascarsimracing1 nascar in the 10/12 port hurricane video you said you will change the port into 8/12 port in next year its already been like 3 months
I would say if yoy want to fix the rotator with metal, its probsbly ideal to save alot of money for the long term, but its still possible that maybe the rotator could handle a reduced thickness.
I have no clue what exactly is bending but instead of cutting the horn, you should try and find a similarly sized piece of metal and try that for a tube
I wouldn't be worried about that one. The square horn is much smaller than the mkii and can easily be made full size and support its own weight. Real horn is 30"x30" without the lips. With the lips it is like 34"x36" for the mouth. Entire horn from mouth to back of chopper tube is 6 feet. Now think about how tiny that is when u take that to half scale
It seems this was a common problem with the real Hurricane. The Milwaukee hurricane is kinda notably bent a little. But you can’t add a little weight on the rotator?
The milwaukee hurricane has been bent in its entire existence. That appears to have been intentional. It is still bent even in the 1979 video of it. I did think about putting lead weights in the chopper tube. But I'd like to stay away from that if possible. Also, i did overly beef up the horn anyways. It's also really low poly. So I'd like to make it thinner and higher poly.
@@nascarsimracing1 Seems fair. But I thought Darien’s Hurricane was slightly bent a bit too. I figured the head being top heavy was one of the reasons it didn’t last long.
@PyroTech4051 black darien was perfectly fine. Yellow darien was kinda tilted. But that's gotta have been an error at the factory. Maybe yellow darien's horn was built by a new employee who was still learning lmao. And then with the terribly done 130 chopper swap. Yellow darien was just overall a hackjob of a siren.
If you can, take apart a Bissell Powerforce Helix, or Helix Turbo vacuum cleaner, and get the motor out. It is a BEEFY motor, and it spins FAST. You can gear it down, and that thing will NEVER STALL! I've never tried it, and I sadly don't have the motor from it anymore, but it would be really good. It runs off of wall power, but i'm sure that's fine as long as you have an extension cord.
The rotator motor itself is strong enough, it's just that the actual rotator tube itself was bending. And that bending caused the gears to spread apart and skip. I'm gonna have to make the horn thinner for less weight.
@@nascarsimracing1 Ohhhhhhh. Ok. Makes sense. Maybe make some lightweight metal bracing inside the print, so it isn't too heavy, but you can make it thinner, but not sacrifice strength. 🤷
@liamwaldrup BSC made a roblox model where it was driven by the chopper, but used a normal gearbox against a gear ☠️ Planetary gearbox makes way more sense. Those are self contained and way more compact. They also have a much more streamlined fit in a cylinder tube. And also would explain why the tube was so tall (multiple reduction sets stacked together)
I'm going to try making the horn alot thinner. I did make it overly thick as i underestimated plastic's strength. But this will be an after sirencon thing. 6 days is nowwhere near enough time.
I can't. There's only so much that plastic can do. That rotator is already way over beefed. If i beef it anymore, itll be breaking scale way more than I'd like to. The horn i did make a little overly thick. 1.6mm thick walls. Im gonna try making the new horn have 0.8mm walls
@nascarsimracing1 you could get some one to make a metal rotator structure, I know people have used PCB way for metal parts. Just send a design and stuff and they do the rest

@@nascarsimracing1 you still have them?
@@peefiftee6060 no, i threw them away
@nascarsimracing1 nascar in the 10/12 port hurricane video you said you will change the port into 8/12 port in next year its already been like 3 months
@Mariaaguello yeah im really bad at sticking to schedules and a bunch of life shit has gotten in the way ;-;. Idk when im gonna get to it
"Help, I accidentally turned it into Kistler Park!"
It sounds exactly like the real thing! Great job man!
regardless of the horn being cut, shits gonna kick some ass.
ONG FR
That’s unfortunate. still hella excited to see it in action next week
It might of also make the slow down faster. So sorry about the rotator. I hope it wont be on Life support
Don't worry. With the horn cut now, the rotator is happy as can be again! :3
@@nascarsimracing1 yay it's not it life support

maybe we can have someone hold the horn up so it can rotate at sirencon
XD
@nascarsimracloling1
I hope it gets fixed soon. I’m really looking forward to printing this.

You should make a 40v2t and make it harmonize with the thx sound
sirencon was just full of faulty sirens
I swear, some anti siren curse had to be there LMAOOO
Anti-sirens ?
Your hurricane has a problem too, my hurricane had a problem for a while and its still being fix😔
That sucks, but I love the details on this siren! Nice job!
THANK YOU!!!
So sorry about that, I know the pain of having an underpowered rotator for a homemade siren too. Nonetheless, its still gonna be EPIC at sirencon!!!
I hope it gets fixed soon. I’m REALLY looking forward to printing this.
WoW it’s big, I love the design of hurricanes but there really rare
Seeing this makes me a little worried on how I’m going to try to make a square horn aca hurricane

Also how loud did it get with the blower
I never tested it with the blower on this horn. But judging by the no blower measurement, it wouldn't have hardly been any different
the last time of the day 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 4:09
It kinda looked better with the shorter horn in my opinion.
nah, it didn’t. but either way a hurricane is a hurricane so this thing will still kick ass even with the shorter horn

i wish i could go to sirencon but i live to far away from where they do it
DAMMIT I should have go to sirencon 2024😢😢😢

What if you reprint the rotator tube to be thicker somit could withstand more weight?
I will try that if thinner horn doesnt work. But rn im spending my time on hurricane 130. Mkii is on the backburner
@@nascarsimracing1 yeah. I seriously can't wait to see that 130 when it's done! Also how are you gonna make it rotate?
@@liamwaldrup planetary gearbox connected to the shaft of the chopper motor. That's how the real one did it too
@@nascarsimracing1 I thought so. I saw a guy who did a 3d model on roblox and this is exactly how it was made.

it could stay stationary also, but yeah
I just cut it back. It's just back to how it was in my most recent 100ft test video.
That thing is huge
Looks good, that's the only legit mini aca hurricane but hopefully it might rotate after you fix it
I just cut off the extra and put it back to how it was in my last video. It fully functions perfectly again!
MF IS THAT THE ACA HURRICANE FROM DAMIEN?
You'll need to compensate and either use something lighter or do the rotator like GCS said

@@nascarsimracing1 Well I hate to hear it but maybe next time, I'll watch yours and uwtitanfan's SirenCon video, my favorite of all year
aw man, hopefully you figure it out.
Just make the rotator strong enough so it will rotate
You could get stronger parts for the rotator
Get a gear ratio for better stability And strength.
hopefully you could fix that next week and this is my alt account the original account is JBLUTRQ and changing the chopper cuz its weird
update:im gonna make smthn soon
It's still cool man good

@@grovecitysirens_GCS I already tried that. Shit is wayyyy overpriced. like several hundred dollars for the inside rotator tube.
@@grovecitysirens_GCS i just checked, they quoted $658 for the inside tube 💀

Dam
Im so sad
Make the motor stronger
@@Tvgirlpauline its not the motor. It's the plastic bending. I already have an idea and might try it soon. Also am printing a lighter weight horn.
