Boomerang Launcher Test
This is looking surprisingly promising! Hopefully the wind calms down over the next week and I can get it to hit itself haha
Ebike 4.0 is working!
I will be taking it for it's first off road test ride in this weeks video! For those of you who are here for non ebike videos, what are your thoughts if I mention I'm designing a boomerang launcher? Not sure if I'm just nerding out, but the physics behind it is super interesting!
Ebike 4.0 New motor mount
For those of you that spotted the spoiler at the end of last weeks video. This is the new design that I have decided to go for!
Ebike 4.0 Rear Pulley
This was a bit of a pain to fit due to the disk brake caliper being only 6-7mm from the wheel spokes. So the pulley has to squeeze between the spokes and the caliper, then bend back around the caliper to allow the belt to run past the tyre. On the plus side, the CNC is cutting aluminium very well!

It has wheels!

Mini 3D Printed Hovercraft (STL Files)
I'm sure many of you have been waiting for these files! I've spent many hours trying to perfect this hovercraft, which you'll see in tomorrows video. I apologise to you guys in the $5 tier, the early access might have to wait until tomorrow morning (UK time) as this hovercraft has taken far too long to develop properly and I'll most probably be editing until late tonight/early tomo...
Video description issue
Hi Guys,First of all, thanks to each and every one of you for supporting my videos via Patreon. I know I have been saying it at the end of all my videos recently, but your pledges really help provide the freedom and time to produce the projects I upload.Now, I've run into a bit of an issue with YouTube. Basically, YouTube will only allow me to enter a video description of 5,000 characters long...
Air powered plane - Update
After making some modifications to the air engine, it is finally time to see if it'll fly! Will hopefully have the video uploaded by the weekend. Also, I'm considering making a tutorial just for you guys on how to print, prep and run this engine, who would be interested?
