littlelio Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Thank you @Rawnei! So it appears my previous post to ask about the squeaky noise is from the slide. There were some design among the community to improve it, but obviously yours is push it to another level! About this King Song S22 Sliding Mechanism Dirt Protectors, I read the content on thingiverse carefully. Maybe I will try to pring the parts and modify my S22, before that, can I check some points with you? Let's say there are three parts in your design, the top part, the rail guide, and a frame. It seems that a screw is used to bind rail guide and frame together (along with the original T-reail). May I ask the specification of it? Is it correct that no extra hole is requried on the T-rail? (The screw only connect two printed parts) How does the top part would stay in the rail? Is it fixed on the top somehow, or it drops? Depending on the suspension setting, the T-rail may extend out of the rail at the bottom. So in this case, any design would not help to prevent the dirt/sand gets into the rail would it? (All right it can be the design flaw from KS but I just want to confirm) However I don't think the T-rail/new part will not extend beyond the top. That would be very extreme! So basically this improvement remove the original rubber insert but keep the rubber end on the T-rail, and replace the rubber insert with printed middle part, also printed frame to make the rail 'fatter' to have a good interaction with the channel (with the help of dry lubricant). While the top part will make sure dirt will not enter from the top of the channel. I think it is a clever design given current system. I am glad to try it on my S22 just want to understand how it works! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave a note for KS support somewhere, feel free to do it too, more voices, more (naive) pressure Dimming the lights wont fix the problem unfortunately, it will only reduce it a bit, on-comers will still be staring directly at a led light (or 8 of them actually 😎), what the anti-glare solution does is to cut off the direct line of sight into the leds. But your point is valid they could do better from factory, there is a standard called StVZO how to design bike lights to not produce glare but it seems that EUC manufacturers are either unaware of it or think it is too expensive to implement. 39 minutes ago, littlelio said: Thank you @Rawnei!

I am glad to try it on my S22 just want to understand how it works! Thanks! 1. The screw is already on there, it is holding the rubber piece that is installed from factory, you reuse the same screw, I haven't measured it. 2. No extra holes or components, just the 3D prints and PTFE dry lubricant. 3. Top part stays in rail with friction, it's a tight fit and wont move unless you push it with force. 4. Rubber Puck extending out of the channels in the bottom would be problematic in another way, that will cause a lot of resistance and suspension would be worse, as the wheel comes in the middle position from factory that is enough for that part to not go out. Even if that part went out the amount of dirt or dust possibly coming in would be negligible. 5. No it does not extend to the top, movement is stopped by coil shock. 6. The 3D printed parts sole purpose is to keep dirt out with as low friction as possible so that the suspension system can work better, I am confident that there can be better or improved design for this even, I have some ideas for the future and other people are working on other solutions but this is way better than the factory solution and cheap/easy to do if you have a 3d printer.

Very clear. Thanks for the explanation. So I just ordered a 3D printer and this would be my first project. I used to draw in autocad, but not a lot in 3D. Now I may need to train myself a bit for that... Fow now I will make use for the STL from you guys to test! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Song S22 Controller Board Replacement Gasket https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5466208 Having disassembled my S22 a couple of times now I noticed that the original gaskets was not in the best state, the glue started to wear off and the very soft material the original gaskets are made of started to twist and become a bit malformed, worrying they would loose their intended function of water protection I made this replacement one that you can print in TPU. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone that is considering a 3d printer but cost has been a deterrent: in the US, Micro Center is running a special for new customers. The Ender 3 Pro is $100 off, which makes it $99. It is kind of bare bones, but at that price, it was enough for me to finally bite the bullet and buy one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawnei Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Just something to be aware of if you are using printing services, some parts will have more important tolerances than others, for instance the dirt protectors might want to print more than the specified amount in case any of them get the wrong tolerances when printing, for other parts it's not as important and a mm off here or there won't make a huge difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 New thing. King Song S22 Shock Link Protectors https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5475861 Protectors for the shock link on the King Song S22 meant to protect it from scratches and dents. As a frequent off-roader it happens that I pedal clip from time to time which often means that the wheel falls on it's side, these protectors are meant to keep the exposed parts of the shock linkage in tip-top shape even after such a fall. These are designed in such a way that you clip them on, no need for adhesive and will stay on quite firmly unless removed with some force or finesse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rawnei Posted August 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 Pad support updated with a V2 version that can be attached using 2 of the screws in the battery box for added stability. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5454518 Update: 2022-08-26: New V2 version added, this version comes with holes so that you can attach it to two of the screws in the battery box for stronger support. When I switched from my Clark Pads that was 1 big pad to Grizzla pads that are 2 smaller padsI noticed that they had a tendency to move around a bit due to smaller velcro area so I made this version to make it stay in place better. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Someone reported that if you have the suspension linkage at the highest setting the link arms will interfere with one of the clamps on the link protectors so I have now updated the design and move that clamp higher up so that won't happen. If you printed the original design and it works fine for you no need to change! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5475861 Edited August 27, 2022 by Rawnei 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rawnei Posted September 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) King Song S22 Mini Fender and Dirt Protector https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5508151 These are not suitable for CNC sliders. An evolution of the dirt protectors, these mini fenders (one in the front one in the back) protects the sliding channels on the S22 from dirt being splashed into them from the wheel and is easy to print for anyone having a printer with a bed of at least 220mm height or width. The fenders are designed and mounted in such a way that they move with the rails and the motor without scraping or causing friction on the battery case. The PLA fenders Combined with the TPU plugs should give pretty good protection from dirt and mud getting into the sliding channels and keep the suspension system working. I am aware that there are solutions circulating that basically cover the whole wheel well with one large fender but this is an alternative if you don't have access to such a solution.

Rawnei Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) King Song S22 CNC Sliders Dirt Protection System https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5621786 Dirt protection system made for King Song S22 CNC sliders (Alexander Vodnev, MyEwheel, Javi, etc.). This system is made out of a ecosystem of parts to keep dirt out of the system. Mini Fenders - Two fenders, one in the front one in the back, keeps dirt from splashing into the channel above the sliders. Channel Plugs - Four of them, one in each channel at the top of the channel, works in tandem with the fenders to keep dirt outside. Slider Plugs - 8 total, 2 per slider, one at the top and one at the bottom, bottom one will prevent dirt from coming in from the bottom and top one pushes away any potential dirt/dust that would get in despite fenders and channel plugs. Slider plugs are slightly smaller than the channels as to not produce any friction. Edited November 11, 2022 by Rawnei 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rubber on my stock caps started to peel off so I made this replacement cap, it also add additional splash protection to protect from water or dirt being splashed up around the charge port. The cap is very easy to screw on and off the charge port due to the hexagonal shape. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rawnei Posted November 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2022 King Song S22 Parking Stand https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5661949 A parking stand for the King Song S22. The S22 has a built in kickstand but putting it on a stationary stand will make it take up less space in your home or storage area. This stand is designed in such a way that most of the weight from the wheel will actually rest on the ground via the tire so that the stand does not need to support the full weight of the wheel. Currently this S22 stand only supports the S22 with the suspension in such a position that 2 or 3 holes are visible on the link lugs (2 holes should be default from factory), for lower suspension settings there would need to be a cushion similar to the one Master version of the stand, thus it's not recommended to use this stand if your suspension is in a lower position than the recommended use case. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawnei Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) King Song S22 Trolley Handle Extender https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5834176 A trolley handle extension for the King Song S22, comes in two versions, one that extends the trolley handle by 7cm and one that extends it by 5cm. You will need to use 4x M3x16mm Philips screws for the upper part of the extension which screws into the handle, you can use the original screws (M3x10mm Countersunk Philips screws) from the trolley handle on the lower part that goes into the rails, if you don't use the original 10mm screws for any reason there might the different tolerances and the trolley handle might not go all the way down, this is not a big deal just something to be aware of.
