Well, don't get one of those and leave ir out in the California sunshine, or your wheel will for certain fall off... Should have printed them in at least PETG IMO. Who stores their wheels outside? My PLA stands have been in service (indoors) for 9 months plus and I never had a failure with wheels as large and heavy as the Monster on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also dont forget that they are free to download so you can print locally Please do. I made it for everyone to print. Yea feel free to print stands using Mathias's designs all day long. I just tweaked them slightly just to add some personalization. This my store link - https://eucarmy.com/store/ If I was a smart individual I would probably stop selling them because I'm not sure if I am even breaking even at this point but it's my way of giving back to the community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andee Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2018 The V8 has its own little stand thing built in. Also, if that is not sufficient, I usually just lean it against a wall or something... you people and your fancy stands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is so low the wheel is actually still on the ground... Did you try to set the bars closer together by moving the position of the pin on the back? That should prevent the tire from touching the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gadgetfann Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2019 I already replied to a post in the mods section, but thought I’d post this here in case anyone is looking for a way to store multiple EUCs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0178QBDP4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_DYmrCbJ3WN5QH It took me a while to find something that would work for my Z10, KS18L and Glide 3. Might be the perfect solution. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the guitar stand works okay, I'd advise anyone else who might be getting one to look at how high up the bars are. This one is so low the wheel is actually still on the ground... The angle of the stand can be reduced by setting the round tab in the back to one of several positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwent1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Here's my suggestion. These aren't elegant but I like the wheel to be vertical and I didn't want to put any weight on the wheel between rides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duf Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Also have 3D printed varieties. You can print yourself if you are into the 3D hobby using Mathias STL on Thingiverse or I sell them for a reasonable price on my store. https://eucarmy.com/store 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutalo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Got tired of cleaning paint residue from my wheels from leaning them on the wall. So, Here's what me and Home Depot came up with. I built 5 of these, and still have reserve material to build more should I ever become a wheel hoarder Edited January 23, 2019 by Lutalo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seba Posted February 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2019 Because my fleet has been expanded by the new KS-18XL that arrived last days, I had to build new stand to accomodate all three wheels. I wouldn't be myself if the new stand wasn't equipped with something exotic Wheel cavity dryer! I noticed that even if you store your wheel in rather warm and dry room, it still keeps wet inside the wheel cavity. It may lead to rim, axle and bearing rusting/degradation. So I decided to add a fan and simple ductwork made from plastic sewage pipes. Air is passed thru the pipes and are directed to the wheel cavity, causing it to dry up faster. Simple, slightly noisy , but works 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you 3 hours ago, rwent1 said: What charger are you using in this? This is a generic 6 A / 84 V charger, modified by adding current and voltage regulation & readout and Lenovo cables (to be compatible with KS-18L/XL charging ports). I bought the original charger at one of Polish stores - https://nexun.pl/pl/p/Ladowarka-20s-84V-6A-505W/522 - it's also available on AliExpress in many flavours.

Rats. I was hoping this was a commercial product. Where'd you get the regulator and display parts? (kit or did you design/build the circuitry yourself?)

Seba Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Modification of the charger is not particularly difficult. The charger's electronics include two adjustable resistors for factory calibration of output voltage and current limitation. In a simplified way, the conversion consists in replacing them with potentiometers mounted in the enclosure. Additionally, a ready-made current and voltage meter module is added. Such a module costs very little and can be connected to any charger, just to control the charging process. https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-DC-100V-10A-Voltmeter-Ammeter-Blue-Red-LED-Amp-Dual-Digital-Volt-Meter-Gauge/32814017487.html?albbt=Google_7_shopping&isdl=y&slnk=&albslr=228348304&src=google&acnt=494-037-6276&aff_platform=google&crea=pl32814017487&netw=u&plac=&albcp=1623752838&mtctp=&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjIKs74af4AIVBaaaCh2GIQZjEAQYASABEgJgy_D_BwE&albag=61296248786&albch=shopping&albagn=888888&trgt=296904914040&device=c&gclsrc=aw.ds There are even meters that have the function of measuring the flowing charge (so called Coulomb counting) and show on the display the number of watt-hours taken by the battery. Ideal solution for the charger https://www.banggood.com/pl/100V-10A-DC-Combo-Meter-Volt-Amp-Power-Watt-Capacity-Panel-Meter-Monitor-for-Oled-p-1044480.html?gmcCountry=PL&currency=EUR&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_bgs&utm_content=zouzou&utm_campaign=pla-pl-css-elc2-pc&cur_warehouse=CN I plan to write an article on my blog in detail about the process of modification of such a charger, I hope to publish it this month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not trust a voltmeter / current meter bought from Aliexpress for a few $ these can be terribly out of range ,especially if choosing to monitor your charging voltage I have bought a few and found them to be upto and over 1 Volt from actual and the potential for overcharging ??? Spend thousands on a wheel and cut corners on modifying yr chargers Hoo Hmm Edited February 3, 2019 by Gaz Bon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I get your point, I wouldn't personally trust them too much when it comes to actually adjusting the charger output voltage... That's what the HP34401A is for (kidding, probably a "normal" multimeter is enough) Edited February 3, 2019 by esaj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
