I will need a red one.

One more thing, is it possible I pay for a bundle and send a gear STL file to print with your Ender? Then I can send a rider to pick up both remainder bundle and the printed gear?

It’s a small gear with solid fill
Gear : 15mm Height /38mm diameter

Yes you can send the STL file, how many grams is it when you slice it?
But I will print it with the present filament on my spool which is silver.

Some of my filament are already brittle… they snap sometimes when fed into the extruder.

Will a dehydrator oven cure these brittle filaments?

Your regular kitchen cooker can dry the filaments

You will have to test it first

This is nice. I wish I saw them 6 months ago, probably get 10 of them instead of wasting cement on those heavy thick slabs covers.

Thank you!
On your next project or at next renovation.

I recently ordered Ender3. I guess I should have gone for V2. What’s the main difference?

It seems you are the one only on Nairaland talking 3D …. I was expecting loads of topics on 3D here on Nairaland..

The v2 is the latest of the two, so the the quirks in the other would have been sorted I assume.
I have not used the other so I can't speak directly on their differences.

Nice to hear from you.

These are old lay-around filaments that I found in the warehouse. I guess humidity has done them bad… so they “sputter” in hot extrusion.

We had a bunch cocoon model makers from Au that didn’t sell as planned.

Not many hobbyist in Nigeria, I suppose.

Yes, wet filament will do that
But you can dry it in an oven

Do you source PLA+ locally? Any reliable seller?

There are some sellers on Jiji.
I imported mine and I am willing to sell to you.
I have five colours
Black - 2nr, fire engine red - 1nr, peak green - 1nr, silver - 1nr and white - 2nr.
Each roll is 1kg and came at a cost of ₦16,500.
How many do you need?

There's a problem with this print it's not looking clean, maybe reason why it's not sturdy.
What print setting are you using?

I use PLA+ filament for my prints

owagbeba:
The strength of the printed gear not strong enough for the 28NM Torque products for the electrical motor in the appliance

The gear sheared after 5mins in the rotor system

The stronger the filament used the better, ordinary PLA is the lightest PLA+ is stronger which is what I use for my printing, also increasing the number of wall line count (up, down and side) will improve the strength.
Increasing the fill density will also increase the strength.
But the best for your purpose will be a solid fill.

Front wheel removal.
So I had to do an fork seal replacement which requires removal of the front wheel. Unfortunately for me the design on BMW f800st axle shaft is not the bolt design where the right sized spanner or socket can easily be used, it's a pipe! And requires a special tool to loose.
So I had to fabricate my own tool to use as I couldn't source one locally and immediately.

So I bought bolt with 22mm and 2nr nuts, welded them together and it worked. Although the bolt broke as can be seen between pic 3 and 4.
The weld point acted as the stopper

My rear break pads are worn already again! The new one installed in December 3 months

uwemjack:
Rear Break pad change...
So I was planning about 600km road trip on Simba. Created a checklist to ensure the bike was in top condition.

The rear break pad didn't pass the check as it had worn to almost flat, even though it was still performing optimally. The front pads on the other hand is still full.

So I ordered 3 sets of break pads, two set for the front and I set for the rear. It eventually arrived and I will be replacing the rear pads only while the front will be stored for future use.

Went to YouTube to watch the how to, closest video shows that rear tyre has to be removed to change the rear pads, too much work as I don't care about removing the wheel! Went to my e-manual so that I didn't need to remove the wheel.
My steps for this replacement where
1. Put the bike on its centre stand
2. Remove the split pin keeper
3. Remove retaining pin using a screw driver and a hammer
4. Remove the pads
5. Press back the caliper piston using a screw driver
6. Install new break pads
7. Install the retaining pin
8. Install the pin keeper
9. Press the breaks several times
10. Drink a can of malt�

Bro, another question I've been meaning to ask is how do you record videos with clear audio on your bike. I have this problem of wind making the audio recording of my videos defective.

* you can use a microphone that filters noise
* You position the camera behind a windbreaker like the windshield
* Mount the camera where clean air will get to it. Like on the helmet or windshield
* Reduce the volume
* Extract the audio and replace
* Upgrade your camera - some camera have inbuilt noise cancelling

That's so kind of you bro. Thank you.
You welcome
I checked the dimensions and it doesn't match mine but I already placed an order for a matching filter on Aliexpress. That Aliexpress is our saviour in this country I tell you. I would have said Amazon but shipping cost security fee is always too much.
I bought most of the modifications for my bike on Aliexpress.

I got to know about 3d printing a couple of years back.
There was an old car that was no longer in production meaning I could not get the part new, I tried searching for the used part locally but was not lucky, the ones I saw online was cheap enough but fright was exorbitantly high because the part was big.
I looked at having it produced locally by a plastic factory but it didn't make sense for them to produce just one sample.
I researched making it myself using resins and fibre, bought some of the items I needed but got stuck along the way and had to abandon the idea.
I ended up repurposing a part from another car by cutting, meting and welding plastics.
During my search I stumbled on 3d printing got in touch with a guy here in Lagos but he told me it would be more expensive to 3d print the item. Went online saw videos and my interest was piqued!
Checked prices and they were affordable depending on what you needed them for. And you can print virtually anything on it but you must know how to work on a software where you can design and break down larger parts into smaller bits that the printer can handle.
And that friends was how I ordered and bought a 3D printer from China!

Below is a video of me unboxing it, and the model I got was the Ender 3

Sure I know the fit, I do my oil change myself, it's not rocket science actually. Thanks bro. Mine is a beginner's bike, CBR 250R. Just 300cc but I'm currently negotiating with dealer to buy the CBR 1000R with about 1000cc cos I feel I'm experienced enough to handle bigger motorcycle now.

True!
I have one filter left from my old ninja I will give you for free if you can pick up in lag but am not sure it will fit your bike see picture, the dimensions are
height 40mm
Width 44m
Internal diameter 12mm.

You have a beautiful bike there

Aliexpress takes time to deliver. I need to change my oil filter. I haven't changed it in the last 2 maintenance

Not that long, usually not more than 4week. If you had ordered 4wks ago you would have it by now.

You can check local motorcycle parts stores too, but be sure of the exact fit of filter.

What is the model of your bike?
