Re: Batteries (and Chargers)

If anyone has a good guide on batteries I would love to read one. I spent a few hours yesterday reading and thinking about all this. Fingertech has some nice batteries for small bots, all $9.75 USD https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=G-2S-mAh JST and balance connector on each pack...

Re: Batteries (and Chargers)

Found the discontinued product
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nan ... -5pcs.html

Google is bringing up some from random websites that are like $14-$16 a piece (180mAh, but not Turnigy)

Re: Batteries (and Chargers)

Apparently I needed to read my build diary first. I have this reply from 2020 from MySolderIsOlder I'm going to dissect it and see what I can fine. I guess what I need most is a desirable weight Personally I wouldn't risk buying cheap imported/unbranded LiPOs, even if they were shippable. Too much ...

Batteries (and Chargers)

I'm trying to figure out what batteries to buy for building these Ants I'm sorry these are such basic questions and are likely really dumb. I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your help with everything so far, I couldn't have made it without everyone who's replied. I was even stuck on posting...

Re: Antweight arena designs

There is a guy on here from Australia who uses a stainless steel floor for his arena and likes it a lot. He said he first went with harder steel but then everyone started using magnets for down force and it because a big problem and that was the only way to win. Stainless doesn't have that problem. ...

Re: 3D printers

Do you think nylon (the alloy 910) is equivalent to 1mm poly-carbonate (like stuff from sheets)? Also do you print it solid or with a % of infill? I don't think 1mm thick alloy 910 printed would be as strong as 1 mm polycarbonate sheet. I usually use 2 to 3 mm thick and I always print 100% infill. ...

Re: 3D printers

Indeed there are some that claim "PLA+ Is a Perfectly Legitimate Choice..." You called? :D I use eSun PLA+, mainly because that's what I started using when I got into 3D printing and didn't have a proper set up for printing better materials like an enclosure or all-metal hot end. Some mat...

Re: 3D printers

I mainly use three filaments, all of which I get from "3D Jake". Shipping from Germany can be a bit slow (normally about a week) but I find their range and service excellent: - Fiberlogy's 'PA12+CF15' (a Nylon/Carbon Fibre mix) for most bodywork/armour. - PolyMaker's 'PolyMax PC' (polycar...

Re: 3D printers

I always use Alloy 910 nylon for any armour or areas likely to come in contact with a spinner. I get it from 3DFilaprint who offer a great service if you buy two spools of filament you get free next day delivery. Thank you all for responding! I really appreciate it. Do you think nylon (the alloy 91...
