Thanks, Marc 😁😁

Thank you

I didn't try putting any weight in it, but I think I could add extra rubber to give it more power when it is loaded.

Thanks for commenting, George 👍👍

Thank you

Make sure you upload a video so we can see how you get on 👍👍😁😁

Yes you can go 4WD like that. It is a bit of a pain to wind it up, but yes it does work 👍👍

Hey, good to hear from you. I hope all is well. Sounds like there are plenty of problems over there at the moment.

The rubber bands our postman drops are too powerful for most of my builds. I only need the car to travel the length of the kitchen, so more power is not necessary. I have used various other stretchy things for the power in this playlist - Not rubber band powered cars ua-cam.com/play/PLA5a2xPRSrB1u0WVnO3-RjC6nUQ0yVJcx.html

Thanks, Marc. I found that bit of fishing rod by the side of the road, so I wanted to make use of it.

The hot end was leaking above the heater element. Technically it should be possible to clean it and retighten the bolts, but I replaced the hot end. Just to add to the fun the replacement hot end failed within a couple of hours and burned itself out, so I had to replace it a second time. All seems to be fine now and getting perfect prints. We will see how long it lasts.

The main issue will be getting enough grip from your wheels, so you will probably need rubber tyres. Next point will be gearing. You don't necessarily need a gearbox, although that would help you get more power to the back wheels. Instead of a gearbox, you can use relatively small wheels and a relatively large axle to wind your rubber motor round. The bigger the diameter of the axle, the "lower" the gear you are in, so the heavier the object you can pull. I did this video on the maths back in 2015 ua-cam.com/video/HNcA04ojF0s/v-deo.html

@mikeflight9 Hi Mike, dull and grey outside at the moment. It is probably better suited to balsa gliders or at least any glider with a reinforced fuselage to take the strain 😊👍

@Sea-Dog5496 probably more effective to put a stiffening rod along the length of the plane👍

@@Putarubberbandonit Great idea. Shove a stick up its rear. I know some people I would like to try that on. 😋

Haha, UA-cam hid your reply, they thought it might be offensive 🤣👍

@@Putarubberbandonit I take it you could not read it? No matter. It was a little off color. I am not surprised. I try to be discrete, but I don't always get away with it. Haha

@Sea-Dog5496 I always check the "held for review" folder. If I didn't, I would miss half the comments. UA-cam algorithms tend to catch innocent comments and miss the important ones. My 9pm publications on my main channel always get a comment from an automated porn bot. It is a new one every night, the bot creates a new channel and spams publications with seemingly harmless comments, but the thumbnail is the same each time and the channel is simply a link to an external porn site. As they use the same images every time, I cannot understand why UA-cam can't write an algorithm that spots it as soon as it is created and blocks it immediately. A cynical person might think UA-cam is happy to play along with it as it will make their stats look good with new channels created every night to boost UA-cam's numbers.

🤣🤣👍👍 Good morning Mike 😊😊🌞🌞

@spencer963 Haha, spoken like a true American, you can never have too much power 🤣 Sitting drinking my coffee watching the world go by. Frosty start this morning, but the sun is shining 🌞

@Putarubberbandonit hell yeah! Don't need to be getting locked up for posting a meme 🤣 though admittedly, our government was getting too far out of hand. Next 4 years will be better :)

Hi Ed. There is another video tomorrow with some replacement rubber bands. I did this video about a week ago, but scheduled the publication for today. Since then I have been hunting for suitable replacement bands. I could order them online, but I was hoping to find some in local shops. It looks like the size of rubber bands I wanted are no longer stocked anywhere. Then today I found I had a box of suitably sized ones in my own stock.

I am sure you could if that is your preference. I prefer to avoid weapons on my channels 😁😁👍👍

I assume you are talking rubber band powered. I would guess you would need gearing to make a reverse feature. I vaguely remember a toy mechanism with 3 gears where the "middle" gear only engaged in one direction. The gear shaft rode in a slot and one of the other gears must have too, so the outer gears engaged for forwards, and the third gear dropped in for reverse. In a similar, but different, gearbox on some pullback toys they have an action to wind up the spring when you pull it back, and engage an extra gear when it drives forwards

@@valveman12 oy ... 60 years ago, I had 4 high school cheerleaders every danged day. Mary Kay, Gloria, Glenda, and Gail... yahoo ....

@KingdomCome811 there is one way for you to find out 😁 Build one yourself and try the various combinations and options 👍

Thanks, yes, running it hotter seems to be doing the job 👍👍

@Putarubberbandonit what do you set your build plate to? I'm constantly using 65c

@@spencer963 I pushed it up just a touch, currently running 68°C It is a glass plate with a coating that is supposed to grip the print while it is hot, but when I am having problems I often add a layer of Elmers glue.

By coincidence, tonight, I was searching for some brass tubing in my "stock room" and came across the wooden launcher and thought I might give it another video for comparison. So you will probably see it again, fairly soon. It just needs a few replacement bands as the old ones have gone brittle

😁😁

@@davidepiccini9254 Hi, Davide 😁

@spencer963 I try to get a video uploaded here every couple of weeks to keep the channel ticking over 😁👍

Sorry for the late reply, UA-cam hid your comment. 0345 is the number of the video. All the videos on this channel are numbered in sequence. The rubber bands I used came from Poundland. If you are not in the UK that won't help you, but they are just cheap ones from the bargain store. Dollar Store if you are in the USA.

@rabiasyed1808 potential energy is the cake in a box, kinetic energy is eating the cake. Potential energy is stored in the rubber band when you stretch it. Kinetic energy is the band returning to normal.

No, back in 2015 that wasn't a regular part of my videos.

@@DontPaniku This is true.

🤣🤣

I have no doubt you could, but that wouldn't qualify 🤣🤣👍👍

@@Putarubberbandonit 🤣 definitely wouldn't

Hi, Allan. I hope you are well 😁😁👍👍
