It's the new wave, so embrace it. But tthese things are beast. I got a electric scooter that does 60mph and its insane the torque and range you can get depending on your setup.
oddly enough this stuff is the more interesting builds. the monster bike is whatever to me. things like the mini boat and this are what really shines to me.
Carbon Fiber filled PLA is NOT stronger than ordinary PLA!!! It has weaker layer adhesion! However, it is much more wear resistant. I suggest print most of parts that would not be hot from PETg and parts that you need to be near hot stuff from ABS. If you want more impact resistance - print all with ABS. p.s. 3D printed parts are NOT aluminum and they're not injection-molded plastic, so always make them thicker.
@@tippmannroxs14was just going to say this. Though CF nylon and CFPC filament spools have come down in price a lot recently. Since they are using a Bambu printer, printing PC (esp CFPC) or nylon/CF nylon should be no problem for them.
Mod suggestion to this quad: extend the rear axle and put the motor directly there, it will give more space for battery inside the frame and you won't need to worry about chain tension over a pivot.
@@DigitalJedi that would be a bit to complicated also the motor would be siting close to the pivot so its weight wont have much of an effect. also unsprung weigh is not that big of a deal unless your going for absolute peek performance unsprung weight is not worth chasing. i have a 105 Landcruiser its got the solid front axle unlike the 100 with IFS there is not really a difference in comfort even tho the 105 has a lot more unsprung weight.
@@jimboh.2654 define. How is unsprung weight going to negatively impact performance on a vehicle already over achieving on a fraction of its potential? Moving the motor onto the swing arm means the chain won't need to flex, more weight on the rear tires that isn't under suspension pressure, and introduces longer travel for smoother ride. Electric motors are less succeptable to impact and vibration than ice are since there is just 1 moving part instead of several.
I worked with robots for years and am currently a lithium battery technical specialist, so take these as you will, but I hope they can possibly help with the monster chopper. If you're having an electrical signal issue, and you're not finding the issue just by stripping the wires, try checking your crimps on your pins. Make sure you're not slightly over shielding, and do a slight pull test to check for suspect loose crimps. Either of those things can give an intermittent issue that comes and goes. The other thing I'd recommend checking out, is your sockets you plug into each other, for loose connections, a shift in a gasket that doesn't allow you to seat properly, a pin that isn't latching into the seat it should lock into, and it'll move as the connection heats up, and vibration can seperate it, or discoloration on those pins. Hopefully this helps you, good luck with figuring out your gremlin.
As an automotive guy, this feels like a proper diagnostic direction to take. I suspect you're onto something with the crimps/connections mentioned. Seems like it could even be something as simple as an intermittent grounding issue. They can be easy to fix and hard as hell to find
Hi guys, greetings from NE Scotland! Just to say my Sturgis T-shirt arrived this morning and I'm well impressed! Great quality & superb graphics! Thank you!👍👏👏🇯🇵♥️🇺🇸🏴
I did a build very similar to this using an old rusty tao tao quad and a 1800w motor about a year ago. Man I wish I had a plasma table to make parts like that. To call the frame of my quad crooked is an understatement. Kids love it, though.
That thing is sick. You guys should make a "builders kit" of all the custom brackets you made, and sell em. So a guy could buy everything and weld it together.
"Building is building, it's all fun" this is why I love this channel so much. You guys have fun building these machines and you have fun driving them, that's what it's all about!
I love when yall are actually out just ripping the projects. We need some more videos of yall actually out playing on the bikes and toys you have built. Just seeing the joy of your creation!
Okay… so… I love yall. Truly do . Yall are geniuses in big ways. But why in the world would I spend 8k on A power bank that can run a printer and a fridge over night only pretty much . But for 10k I can get a stand by generator and the power will only be out for about 40 seconds and won’t turn off again till I stop it lol
For 3d printing: use cubic infill and at least 6 walls, as well as top and bottom for structural parts... Preferably more walls. Cubic infill makes tetrahedral shapes which help disipate forces from any direction to the walls and top and bottom. The wall loops make more difference than the infill apparently. Also, avoid sharp corners that's where cracks start. (this is why airplane windows are not square)
As those of us in the 3D printed pew-pew community have learned, carbon fiber PLA is actually generally weaker than normal PLA. For something like that, you might want glass fiber reinforced ABS or Nylon.
Wow I could totally use this as a mobility scooter. Legs aren't so good any more and what blast it would be to run to the store on that bad boy. Another cool build.
Seeing Stephen on the quad, I'd really like if, for a bit of step in a different direction, you'd do the chopper build with him, as you talked about on the podcast once. Something that fits a Steppenwolf soundtrack and Stephen's mustache, but maybe with a nice KTM engine? 😊
At 36:00 you said "it is so crazy you can watch the steel melt". I took TIG welding in college and the most important thing I learned is WATCH THE WELD POOL AND LEARN TO MAKE IT DO WHAT YOU WANT. As for tiny high power controllers, there is a limit to how small they can get. That limit is thermal. Some small controllers specify the mass of heatsink they are required to be bolted to. While airflow is great, chunky aluminum in that airflow is ideal.
I love watching Edwin giving his best lol. I can relate to him as a guy that has worked with his hands a lot, but has never fabricated anything. If it was me I would probably do about as well or worse!
My dad finds wild stuff all the time. He has two e scooters he got for free. The number of times I've gone over and he's got massive quantities of 18650 cells from various sources charging, etc... its wild. He spends no money and has a blast tinkering. He's 62 and semi retired.
Check the infill settings and ramp them up, also small fillets in the design instead of any 90's inside or out. And close the door to the printer, the heat inside being stable and warm helps with layer adhesion. Love the build!!!
Something I’ve learned about lenses and carbon build up is if you cover it in a very very thin layer of petroleum jelly or anything clear and equivalent and wipe off the excess you can on the lens and you won’t get almost any carbon build up and if you do you just wipe off the petroleum jelly with a micro fiber cloth and ur all good, remember less is more with camera lens
I wish I had someone like you guys teaching my metals class back when I was in highschool. That's a whole lot cooler than the sheet metal tool box they made us all make.
As much as dirt road rally style racing will always win my heart, that bit at the end where you're doing figure-8s in the garage, makes me really think you guys need a flat tarmac track, to take all the micro machines out on with slicks and race like a real mini-F1 circuit.
It would also feel wrong to monetize and profit off his image when he's no longer part of the group. So I can see both sides. It seems to me a bit more respectful to refrain from using his image for profits. Using clips may actually result in having to share profits with him when he's no longer investing time into creating with them. So there could be way more behind it than "f you to Will"
@johnhill8635 he decided to pursue his own channel in hopes of doing more project that vary a little farther away from what Grind Hard does. He started channel is @bummotorsport I think (it might be 1 "M" but that's what it's called) doing other stuff. I haven't watched much but he did do an explanation video there.
I agree with goose but also they are still really good friends, Will just lives too far away and wanted to carry on living in the city. They both would have loved to work more together from what Will has said on his own channel.
I have an A1 mini myself. It sits just to the left of my monitor on the desk and I love watching it go. So many little things around my house are printed.
You guys could 3d print some sick looking farrings or some fenders, a number plate on the front, some bash guards for your hands, a cover for the Motor, a chain guard, but yea some body panels with some aggressive angles and lines and actually a vent to draw air to the controller would be really helpful.
Great video guys. I recommend getting a smooth bore nozzle for your 2 1/2. That will give you a lot more penetration. The combination nozzle you have is great but it breaks the stream up a bunch even on straight stream. The smooth bore will do some serious damage. I have blown holes in the side of houses with one. Also when holding the nozzle, hold it further out in front of you and use big core muscles to hold the hose vs your hands, arm etc. This will give you a bunch more control. Can't wait to see the next video.
This is one of those builds I actually feel like I could do myself with almost zero experience, minus welding the motor brackets - and even that I feel like I could learn with the right access to tools. I was almost going to say this should be labeled as a How To video xD
I love seeing the shells of past projects, both completed or never completed, just scattered around your property with missing parts reused for other projects
For mounting hook springs I like to use shoe strings, or something similar, baler twine, rope of any sort really. Gives you way more leverage. Cool builds guys, been watching since the beginning.
I noticed you guys still have the old Jeep P/U. I think that it would make an excellent EV. and keep it four wheel drive. those old Jeep P/Us are pretty sought after. and that one would be really sought after as an EV. it's great to see Edwin really enjoying his creation. it's a great build with very little R&D issues. until the wires got chewed up by the chain. great job Edwin.
get the multi material add on for the 3D printer and you can add things like color or flexible sections of a print. even 3d printing seats. Or if you really want to go wild, injection molds or positives in a mold for metal casting. Also, you should 3D print some body panels for the quad. you can do some really insane things if you do. make it look like a DRAGON!
Unfortunately the AMS only does multiple of the same material. You wouldn't be able to do a TPU and PLA mixed material print. Still 100% worth it for cool colored prints!
It's a lot better to use a belt sander to sharpen your tungsten it removes a lot less material while sharpening. We would take a 1/2 by 1/8 by 5"ish long piece of bar stock n drill a hole a bit bigger than the tungsten at one end n use it as a handle. U can then hold the one end n stick the other in the hole. Then, twist the tungsten while applying pressure against the belt. Also, I'm sure everyone does it differently, but we were taught to sharpen at an angle more like a pencil, n if your wedding aluminum, u break the tip of ur sharpened tungsten off, creating a more spread out arc. It also helps to heat up the aluminum first, cause it dissipates heat so fast. This doesn't mean it's the only way, it's just how I was taught.
Randomly saw stuff about the monster bike, then the first Humvee video showed up on my feed and I was hooked on watched these guys make these goofy things. Keep up the Great work!
Unpopular opinion, but I’d love to see how quickly this goes around the rally track with the original quad tyres, also doing a comparison between stock wheels, slick go-kart wheels and the Camaro wheels with both time and speed around the rally track, keep up the good work boys 🙂
I have been following you guys every since the beginning of the pandemic and still til this day I love the toys yal build and make I will try to find a way to send you pics of my creations
I'm a novice at 3D printing, but where the walls are attaching to the base is just the diameter of your outer layer and whatever infill so it's going to be weak. You should be able to increase the infill for those layers and maybe even make the corners close to solid to make it stronger.
I feel like the future for GHP is only gonna get better, the new shop has really done everything anyone'd expect it to for the work; Edwin is learning to weld!? Among all the recent changes; nothing but gains guys.
Make sure to pick up the hardened steel nozzle for that printer! Will need it for the carbon filaments. And make sure to change your settings in the slicer!
you guys are going to be so happy with the Bambu Lab X1C. I own the P1S, and being able to make labelled switch panels and such with the multi-color and multi-material printing is awesome. That thing is so plug-and-play, especially with the bundled slicer. They've literally made 3D printing as easy as clicking print.
Love your channel, I am following you since the very first video. Been in 3dp for a while, I have a few suggestions: - PLA is good only as prototype, it melts at very low temperature like 40-50 celsius degree. It also does not stand uv light. - PLA and carbon fiber is useless as per above just more beautiful - You should focus on ABS/ASA, Nylon, Polycarbonate, PETG. With or without carbon or glass fiber. - bambolab is not the best choice for your usage, it is blazing fast but doesn't have an heated room that is very nice to have to print more technical materials. Look into Qidi that have a great alternative. - In any cases print slowe than thr bamboolab default speed, as at that speed the layers cannot melt properly tougher and rhey snap off, exactly what happened to you. Keep going the geat content ❤

And after 6 1/2 years of building this channel with Ethan, I finally started learning to weld…
Edwin, you're killing it brother keep at it, and you'll be stacking dimes in no time..
Ed it's not you wanting to weld, it's the you're getting older and your inner beast is craving for it
Good work man!
You are crushing it! Not just welding, but 3D modeling, 3D printing, and metal fabrication.
Big up!❤

You should put this same motor in a zero turn mower that mows
Love it or hate it, you can't deny how much fun an electric setup can be. The instant torque is so addictive!

It's about time, too!
oddly enough this stuff is the more interesting builds. the monster bike is whatever to me. things like the mini boat and this are what really shines to me.
I would mostly have attributed that to a Will build, before Will left. But yeah I agree!
Ethan looking on like a proud father as Ethan risking life and limb is bombing around at breakneck speed on a sketch overpowered mini quad. PREMIUM 😎.
Correction above… Edwin, not Ethan bombing around.

I second this
I would probably go with ASA most of the time on machines that often live under the sun for its UV resistance.
Or step up to something like pa12 or pa6
stronger but more cost per spool .

You take a $400 cheap quad. Add a $5,000 battery, controller, motor combo. Just for the wheelies! Love it
battery is only 1500$ controller is 650$ and the motor is 300$. i get your point but its less than half of 5000

Randomly saw stuff about the monster bike, then the first Humvee video showed up on my feed and I was hooked on watched these guys make these goofy things. Keep up the Great work!
41:01 You literally took me back to 1990s, and you make me hear myself screaming with my wooden cart flashing down to the valley.
Unpopular opinion, but I’d love to see how quickly this goes around the rally track with the original quad tyres, also doing a comparison between stock wheels, slick go-kart wheels and the Camaro wheels with both time and speed around the rally track, keep up the good work boys 🙂
Try printing with petg and flip the part so the layers lines works for your strength wise love seeing you bring tech into the shop!
I like the mix between electric and gas on this channel
I really appreciate that y'all do gas and electric builds 💚
You may find that limit straps may have a similar effect as bump stops to a point 👍🏻 looking awesome!
I have been following you guys every since the beginning of the pandemic and still til this day I love the toys yal build and make I will try to find a way to send you pics of my creations
Oh man , your videos always put a smile on my face , greetings from Greece .
A suggestion.... Build an electric camper for your road trips. Might be a first if you get it right.
Liking Edwin take control on a video doing the "entire" build!
I love seeing you two guys working in the shop together the vibe is awesome.
I'm a novice at 3D printing, but where the walls are attaching to the base is just the diameter of your outer layer and whatever infill so it's going to be weak. You should be able to increase the infill for those layers and maybe even make the corners close to solid to make it stronger.
I feel like the future for GHP is only gonna get better, the new shop has really done everything anyone'd expect it to for the work; Edwin is learning to weld!? Among all the recent changes; nothing but gains guys.
Print your battery tray 45 deg from flat so that the layer lines don’t line up where the base meets the walls, that will make it harder to delaminate
Make sure to pick up the hardened steel nozzle for that printer! Will need it for the carbon filaments. And make sure to change your settings in the slicer!
you guys are going to be so happy with the Bambu Lab X1C. I own the P1S, and being able to make labelled switch panels and such with the multi-color and multi-material printing is awesome. That thing is so plug-and-play, especially with the bundled slicer. They've literally made 3D printing as easy as clicking print.
That thing was so much faster than I expected. Good job
Love your channel, I am following you since the very first video.
Been in 3dp for a while, I have a few suggestions:
- PLA is good only as prototype, it melts at very low temperature like 40-50 celsius degree. It also does not stand uv light.
- PLA and carbon fiber is useless as per above just more beautiful
- You should focus on ABS/ASA, Nylon, Polycarbonate, PETG. With or without carbon or glass fiber.
- bambolab is not the best choice for your usage, it is blazing fast but doesn't have an heated room that is very nice to have to print more technical materials. Look into Qidi that have a great alternative.
- In any cases print slowe than thr bamboolab default speed, as at that speed the layers cannot melt properly tougher and rhey snap off, exactly what happened to you.
Keep going the geat content ❤
