These look great! Very clean.

Awesome work!

That's amazing! I'm a sucker for anything modular.

That looks awesome! Love it.

Love it!

Those are fantastic ideas! Thank you so much for sharing.

Haha, nice work!

The thickness is definitely important, but in an application where the geometry is constrained a harder material can allow you to increase the strength. The yield strength of hardened steel is higher than non-hardened steel at the same “elongation”. This means that the hardened steel is stronger (but fails at a lower elongation); however, if the jaws deform the wrench is useless anyway. I highly recommend the Wikipedia page on fracture, it’s quite an interesting read!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture

I shouldprobably clarify that I’m taking about the recoverable (i.e. elastic) elongation here.

Nice work!

Awesome!

I just looked it up, that’s a very cool tool!

That’s a very useful tip, thank you for sharing!

Unless you have access to specialized equipment (such as a lathe), it's probably a better choice to buy your trucks and wheels.

Thank you! It's amazing what you can accomplish with patience and a good set of files.

Thank you! I did use mild steel, and although I haven't noticed any deformation yet that is definitely a potential concern. When I end up making my new design, I will probably use stainless.

Awesome, great work!

Wow, those look fantastic!

Looks great, thanks for sharing!

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

That's so cool, awesome work!

Nice work!

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing! I'll have to give that a try.

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

No problem! I'd love to see pictures, if you end up making it.

Gracias!

Thank you!

Good idea! I'll have to give that a try.

Certainly! However, it would be very big & unwieldily; this way, you can fold the diffuser flat & fit it in your pocket.

Thanks! It makes a surprisingly big difference.

I did the balance using Fusion 360's "center of mass" tool. After extruding everything I imported the file into Fusion 360, and used the tool to determine the center of mass of the model, taking into account both the plastic and the metal. I haven't had the chance to print the file out and test how effective this method was yet, but it seems to make sense.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! It certainly is, it looks good and is very comfortable.

Nice work!

Those look great!

Great idea, awesome work!

Great work!

Very cool!

Glad to hear it helped!

+1

Nice work!

Those look great!

I'm glad to hear it, it's always nice to help foster people's creativity :)

Yes, it should.

I'll see what I can do! Good luck!

You know, I'm not entirely sure myself. I'd say that welding is stronger, but I'd have to look into it!

Good question! I'm sure you could, but you'd have to do a very thorough job to avoid any air leaks.

No problem!

Very cool, nice work!

I didn't know that, thanks for sharing!

It certainly would, but the right tool isn't always available.

I used a spray on sealant from rustoleum. There're probably better things to use, but it's what I had on hand.

I'm not sure, sorry! I had all the material lying around already.

That's a good question! I haven't tried it, but I think that sprinkling some sort of powder over the print works to make it clearer/more colourfull.

Glad I could help!

Looks great!
