Stress testing
Last night I got the idea to do a video illustrating the strength of the 3D printed stands I am selling. I set up one of the stands and placed each of my wheels on it and one of the Minipro’s. The weight range started at 25 pounds and topped out at 55 pounds for my big Gotway Monster. As expected the stand performed just fine, as I knew it would since I have been using these for over six months to store my wheels in the hobby room.
However I wanted to really test the stand with something I had never tried before. I wheeled over the big Segway i2 and carefully placed the 105 pound unit on the stand. It held it without fuss. I really had no idea if this would work. 105 pounds is almost double what I previously tested with. Anyway I thought it made for an interesting video and I will include the video in the product description on the store.
I got some disappointing news that the first stand I sold arrived intact but doesn’t really work for the wheel the customer has. He has a KingSong model wheel that has an odd configuration for it’s foot pedal hinge, different than the four other brands of wheel I have tested the stands with. The hinge makes a normal stand too narrow to support the wheel safely.
I felt badly about this oversight on my part, I assumed all EUC’s were pretty identical when it came to pedal hinge design. I made a new version last night with side supports that are each 8MM wider which should give a larger/wider support surface. I plan to print and send it to him for free.
I have a couple 3D projects I need to try to work on tonight, it’s a fun way to keep my brain engaged.
