Hats off to Mitutoyo for the sponsor. Nice seeing big company supporting the channel. Those spare pistons maybe classified as shotgun slugs - beware

[@Steves-Bikes]

I hope you have a fantastic and productive time in Colorado.

[@andybobandy641]

They will think the plastic bag of oil is a gun and possibly catch on fire, but they will ignore the fact that it's wrapped in highly flammable styrofoam. Got to love the TSA.

[@crunchyfrog555]

Congrats on gettng Mitutoyo behind you. That's awesome

[@kasper-jw2441]

exactly what i was thinking, sponsered by mitutoyo... amazing.

[@KarlPienaar]

Agreed. Very well done, Mitutoyo!!!!!!!!!

[@MrTamiyacowboy]

Hairspray high hold stuff is what alot of people use to combat 3d prints lifting from the bed.

[@kapytanhook]

Yeah, works great. Glass, cleaned with acetone, hot bed temp, strongest hairspray. I got prints so stuck it flaked the glass. I just pop my petg prints in the freezer now and they jump off

[@cmsracing]

I worked in landscaping and just after 9-11 I carried my wife's bag to the airport. Every alarm went off just from the cross commination from my hands to her bags carrying handle. What a mess!

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

😂

[@jasonbirch1182]

For the people going "HUH?". AMONIUM NITRATE....fertilizer.....boooooom.

[@cmsracing]

@@jasonbirch1182 Thanks for the further explanation.

[@alexmerkeezy]

I know someone who did moped racing in the NL from the US and brought everything via plane. They cleaned as well. What got held back by TSA was the shocks (and everything else in the bag) as they contained compressed gas. Watch out for that if your damper does.

[@evilelf5967]

i think its filled with oil.so should be fine.

[@TheMadManPlace]

@@evilelf5967 there is nitrogen in there too if it is a top line shock absorber

Doesn't feel like 5 years. That covid dragged on a bit!

[@conradmarais1010]

This man is so grateful it makes me feel warm inside

[@christiankirkenes5922]

I have moved car parts like that, I also left a note. They called me over the pager at the airport and I went to the security. They asked me to open the suitcase and as soon as they realised it wasn't a gun or a bomb they let me close it up and go on my way and they sent it through no worries.

[@mhbh1979]

If you have time get some VCI paper and chuck a couple of post it note size bits in those crank boxes. The luggage hold is generally pressurised but it is usually much colder than the cabin and that causes condensation on everything when you land 👍

[@sixdegrees6434]

If it fails again, try printing it with your 0.8mm nozzle before going to aluminium. You’d be surprised how much stronger 0.8 prints are compared to 0.4

[@cjcantrell80]

I traveled across the US with a rifle case full of firearms (big range day with my Pops). I laid everything out, told them all firing parts were separated, and put a note with each firearm giving make, model, and serial number. When I picked it up from claims, they thanked me for making it so easy to check everything. Has anyone ever been THANKED from any airport personnel?

[@davidcatanach2620]

Baggage has some form of strap you can sling over a shoulder and can carry without holding. Luggage is bigger heavier and has a handle to help ‘lug’ it around. But in practical use the words are interchanged with a broader meaning of ‘your stuff’.

[@polarbub]

On my ender 3 I soldered the control box fan to the 24 v power. It now runs all the time and never overheats

[@gleddyvrudd]

Definitely think you are on the right track with the reeds , they flow worse , but they are also under pressure, looking forward to seeing your adventures at Bonneville

[@schelmean16]

haha i like how thoughtful you are with packing, i once took a complete moped through europe in two regular suitcases

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Especially in southern Europe they don't care much it seems. USA is different. Last time I almost got shot cause I put my hands in my pockets while walking through the security scanner... I have to re-check my bag flying from Denver to Grand Junction.

[@michaelfackler9716]

If the reed cage experiment doesn't work out , I had a forward thinking idea , might you have access to air compressor disc Reed valves , it is a disc with a conical spring in a threaded insert , they are very robust,,with your ingenuity im sure you can accomplish great results🎉 ,love your vids

[@CriticoolHit]

Make sure you seal that CFN print. It's still hygroscopic after annealing (printing) and WILL soften over time as the moisture in the air plasticizes the material. It will also change shape and expand. You must post process that print.

[@billyjoelization]

You could have the reed supported by the thick reed material internally. V-shaped and slotted in from the rear to support the paddle in the middle. Would take up a way less space allowing for more flow.

[@timnorth8130]

Good thing to add to your Mychron 5, is a LCU one. Will also log Lambda, but you will need a 12v power supply. Also look at the Smartycam option. It’s expensive but logs video and data.

[@TheMadManPlace]

Travel safely - we need you. Hopefully the TSA agent is a subscriber to your channel - that would probably help the process go smoothly.

[@wojteksroka3524]

U can connect the cover fan to the same output as the hotend fan which is always on

[@thespeedy3091]

You've been my 50cc inspiration for years and am hoping to shake your hand at SpeedWeek 2024.

[@Richard-n2w1g]

What I think of when doing the comparison of baggage and luggage is that baggage is probably small things that you can fit in a bag. Luggage, I think of lugging something around. So probably larger or heavier things. Just a guess using context clues

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

You know the series "Moonshiners"? Tickle went to rally up support for home destilling. Therefore he had an appointment where he had to pass security. Being asked why he had so much cash money he repiled "I was coming to see a politician and thought that might come in handy." Guard laughed, sent him on his way. Just be You- this isn´t Your first rodeo, is it? Treat security like four year olds with guns- that should work. "Yessir/Nosir" That they like.

[@TrustPro2024]

Hi Alex! MC Proparts in Germany makes a nice aluminum cage made for the big DEPS Malossi case for the ciao… it’s called the MCMV21+ . They are badass!!

[@pieterbarneveld9518]

Baggage is someone that wants you to pay for everything, luggage is something you use to leave the baggage behind.

[@guidosamson682]

Alex. Befor you cut the reeeds take into account that there is a reed direction. You cannot cut snyway you want. This is because of te way the nylon is woven. Polini gives the direction to cut but mmaalossi does not give you it. But you can feel the tension and know the stuffer wat is towards the engine.

[@ameliorant1]

Please try an opposed piston setup. I think it would simply things for you and be a much more efficient design, particularly for high boost application.

[@christiankirkenes5922]

Good luck bro, and have a tonne of fun !!!

[@ogKEGGY]

I moved my display, power supply and electronics outside of the enclosure I made for my Ender 3. I never had an issue with the board, but the display would get all sorts of wonky when printing ASA in the enclosure.

[@timdryden7863]

Best of luck, safe travels, especially on the salt!

[@faroironandcustoms6577]

[@saban_6r]

For anyone wondering: Luggage is more common than baggage. In American English, luggage refers to empty bags and suitcases. Baggage refers to bags and suitcases with their contents. There has been a decline in sales of hand-sized luggage.

[@deGraaff-s8p]

Good luck at the speedway track 🎉🎉😊

[@SaltonEarth-r6o]

To get a good seal on the reeds, you need lap it on a hard surface.

[@Dansdialogue]

I'm pretty sure the main difference between baggage and luggage is the spelling 😂

[@Metalandwoods_longlostdentures]

TSA- everything is a gun.

[@nathanhale3006]

In America, you can fly with a gun as long as it is secured in the proper lock box and is declared. My buddy just took a 6 shooter with him to Yellowstone. Pictures with big iron on his hip are a nice touch.

[@petenikolic5244]

[@uwu3130]

the new reeds look so good :D

[@RubberSalt]

I've noticed the textured glass beds from Creality are not even. I switched to a magnetic PEI bed and never looked back. Significantly more even, and easier to work in general. This is from 6 years of owning ender 3 printers and working on 15 of them regularly.

[@pirateradioFPV]

Try Gyroflow to stabilize the GP5 footage 😊Also, I use steelwool to clean my beds. The type with the soap that you use to clean kettles with. Works great.

[@LipoSuctionRC]

You should look into sticking around America for 3 weeks and attend bike week at bonneville. There are a different set of records available there, ama and FIM.

[@Tunerfreak99]

You’ll be fine when it comes to TSA, I used to fly with my nitro RC buggy all the time And I didn’t clean it super thoroughly

[@leadsled8961]

Outboard motor reed blocks are tough and metal.

[@jobertvangool9961]

I used to have a Tillotson carb on my ‘68 FLH, no floats but a membrane it used to be virtually immune to vibrations 😂 it is able to deliver more than enough fuel with nitromethane in mind, now that you go to its homeland, a good acceleration pump and a booster to atomize the mixture like the Weber DCOE. Just an idea.

[@jobertvangool9961]

I hope you have the same customs officer as Burt Munro had 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@Sausketo]

You should check out an sc2 smart carb, its high cost, but easy to tune and self compensating for elevation change, people also seem to gain a little performance as well

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

You can just wire the fan straight to the 12v on the PSU plug if needed! There are also replacement boards you can get with an extra fan header!

[@acontadoquim]

For nylon prints you have to use PA glue stick and cover all your printer with a trashbag. If you create a hot atmosphere you prevent warpage.

[@brahmdempers1005]

Tony Doukas is the guy u must contact for Reed blocks and valves.

[@baothiletran-ef8zn]

Determining the absolute theoretical maximum horsepower of a 50cc engine is quite complex and depends on several factors that can be optimized in theory but are difficult to achieve in practice. These factors include: * Maximum RPM: Higher RPM allows for more power strokes per minute, but achieving very high RPMs is challenging due to friction and material limitations. * Volumetric Efficiency: This refers to how efficiently the engine fills its cylinders with air and fuel. A perfect engine would have 100% volumetric efficiency, but real-world engines have losses due to valve timing and intake/exhaust resistance. * Thermodynamic Efficiency: This is the efficiency with which the engine converts the thermal energy from burning fuel into mechanical work. Theoretical maximums can be approached with ideal combustion cycles, but real engines have heat losses and inefficiencies. Considering these factors, theoretical maximum horsepower for a 50cc engine could reach around 20-30 horsepower, but this is highly theoretical and impractical. Real-world limitations would bring this value down significantly.

[@richardlincoln8438]

Best Wishes for Your trip to Colorado.

[@MuntyScruntFundle]

When printing on glass just use a decent hair spray, very easy, very fast. You don’t need much, just a very quick pass. 😊

[@DontCallMeGarage]

@2strokestuffing, i put a CR touch probe on my ender 3 pro with a Creality Sprite direct drive feeder. i like it so far. 900% better than the stock feeder.

[@BricoleurTV]

Jag hoppas du har kollat upp vilka importregler som gäller. Du borde prata med ambassaden och fylla i en carnet så du slipper betala tull eller att de beslagtar grejerna!!!

[@stephenfrancisvoros382]

Love ya work Alex, I hope they work well. 👋👋👋👍😁

[@Pompomgrenade]

It's going to work just fine... You don't need high flow reeds... The blower creates the flow. You need a strong cage that doesn't fail and looks like you built it 🙈

[@TheOneAndOnlyRandy]

Man, I live in Colorado too. I sure would like to meet you once your here. If you let me know, I'll definitely make that drive. I know he's in Rifle or somewhere around there

[@bradzartman761]

Ah the TSA. The initials stand for Talking and Standing Around. I spent 11 years in Federal Prison. The reason that is relevant is that when the TSA was formed, they recruited heavily from Federal Corrections Officers. These creatures are the least intelligent and laziest in the employ of the Federal Government. The Department of Homeland Security conducts regularly scheduled and "surprise" tests of the TSA's ability to detect suspicious packages and items passing through their checkpoints. It may interest people to know that the TSA has never failed to miss each and every item, no matter how obvious. Items missed include hand grenades, firearms of numerous description, ammunition, binary explosives, the list goes on endlessly. What they excel at (besides stealing a paycheck every two weeks) is confiscating any and everything that strikes their fancy. There are 'special' trash cans in which passengers -may- be allowed to throw away items the TSA deems a threat to aircraft safety. At the end of each shift, TSA employees collect these receptacles, take them out of sight of the public and take virtually all of it home with them. I have overheard countless Corrections Officers bragging about the loot their spouses (former corrections officers) bring in every day as TSA employees. The take away from this rant is as follows: were you to transport actual bombs, you would almost certainly get away with it, however, that family heirloom pocketknife that your Grandfather left you will be immediately seized and used as justification for sending you and all your luggage through a complete, invasive hand search (which includes swabbing with a 'drug detection swab', notorious for inaccuracy). If it sounds like I have a grudge against these creatures, it is because I most certainly do. Take my statements with a grain of salt as you would those of anyone as obviously biased as I am. Ask yourself, however, how such a bias was instilled before disregarding. Thank you for your content, I thoroughly enjoy each and every posting.

[@frankhallmann23]

Hello, I miss the garage and the new results of the engine. I hope you haven't given up. Unfortunately there are already 50ccm 2-stroke engines with over 20 HP. What do they say? No master has ever fallen from the sky. Everything takes time. I come from Germany (Düsseldorf) Greetings Hallmann

[@reyalPRON]

I was wondering to get me one of those filament dryers. Are you happy with yours? Also i have advice with cf nylon. Use a 0.6nozzle. It has WAY less chance of clogging than the 0.4. Personal experience that cost me a customer relationship.. I always thought that baggage was like a suitcase and luggage was cargo that needed a trolley. Like skies and bicycles. Kudos on the result from an ender3 sir. Mighty impressive slicejob.

[@peterbornmann9184]

When is the date in Bonneville ?

[@jimdale9187]

3 Aug through 9 Aug.

[@mistermacgray]

Where did you get the carbon reed material/sheet from, I'm going to have to make some of my own soon. Also with CF nylon, be sure you use a harden steel nozzle. I use the same printer and glass plus glue stick plus printing with a brim around the inside and outside of your print will pretty much ensure it won't come off during printing. Keep up the great work, I was inspired enough to order an AMR300 supercharger to supercharhe a 2 stroke I have, more for show purposes vs performance.

[@hangtight71]

Wire the control board fan to the hotend fan output so it runs all the time the printer is on.

[@gsestream]

floater does not have to be gravity aligned. it can be a directional valve. like in a water line.

[@noenlunde7028]

You can try a new type reed valve noone ever made before, you can try to make the from your leather belt and with a tiny pull spring from one side to the other side. They wount break an make any damage. I dont know if it will work but i think it will.

[@banmadabon]

you can also try with a Holy Communion Host. Be very CAREFUL WITH THE ORIENTATION, Satan is watching

[@beardoe6874]

A $100 bill is a very bad idea. It's just a reason for TSA to lose your whole bag. It's easier for them to explain a lost bag than a bag that has been opened and is missing valuable items.

[@noenlunde7028]

To eliminate the backfire you should think about fuel injection in the transfers

[@saimon1680]

Mind if you’re not doing so already carbon fiber orientation on your reed valves. Once I had a hard time with those breaking on my MRC go kart engine cause of the carbon sheets orientation, till I realized sun light bounced on them differently when they were incorrectly oriented. I’m talking about polini 0.25mm reeds

[@arzemagic]

If the engine has to move fasten it to the frame with hairy string.

[@kenkennedy5516]

The large carb with no float bowl…as a interim proven unit….old but gold….no float bowl , therefore as efficient….it’s called a Wal Phillips fuel injector ..look it up on the web…..made by a multiple record holder…..and adjustable !!! Should you wish to try one I have one to lend you, just let me know 👍🚀totally mechanical
