This channel details the various projects I work on. Videos can range from Remote control toys to 3D printing to DIY tasks, to fishing hacks, etc.
Original JRX2 Rehab - Sam repowers his over 30 year old RC car
I kept the RC car I used to race when I was 12 years old. In this video I get it operational and drive it around a little.
I put new oil in the suspension, replace the motor and install a new Electronic speed control.
The Team Losi JRx2 racing dune buggy runs and is in great shape after almost 25 years in a box.
Comment below if you think should put the original 5-link trailing-arm suspension back on the car.
Are you surprised the gear-train is still operational after over 25 years?

I talk about the improvements I made to the Filter Sock Cup that I designed and produce for the Innovative Marine 40 Gallon All In One Aquarium.
SunLu S9 Plus unboxing, assembly, and first print
Просмотров 4886 месяцев назад
I unbox, assemble, and print on my new SunLu S9 Plus. Its presently 55% off and one cannot get any other printer with that bed size and these features for remotely the same price. a.co/d/fUM39vZ I used a custom Cura profile that I just added the CR-10 gcode to but I bet a CR-10 Cura 5 profile would work just fine for this printer.

Projects with Sam RAW - After the Crash!
Nice video, good work! 👍
thanks! I cant wait to get the new one edited. I replaced all the tie rods!
Thank you sir...
OMG!
Maneiríssimo.😀🙏😀
love it
Love the aquarium!
Thanks! Aquariums helped me quit smoking a long time ago. I really enjoy it.
So would you buy it again?
I totally did. Was lucky enough to pull the trigger before they ran out of stock. Went back for a third later and they were all gone.
Love it!
Seemed like a shame to not share such an opportunity.
Just purchased the very same victoria sailboat at auction for 15 dollars. It's fully assembled and in great shape, however, there appears to be a couple of small pieces that are missing which attach the sails to the mast. Have no idea what these missing pieces are or where(if anyplace) they can be purchased. Great Vid!
thanks! Would it help you figure out what you're missing if I did a quick rigging video on the boat? I still have it in working order!
Pretty cool I used to do soldering too
I found the ender style end-stops with all the little components already soldered on. Be here in a day!
Actually. a day isn't fast enough and I really like soldering with my Hakko FX-888D. I can change out the tip to a very precise one making these jobs pretty fast.
Was the temp for petg too high or was this another material/temp?
It was just for PETG. PLA wouldnt have an issue. I could probably put capricorn tube in for the Bowden and it would be fine. I probably will end up doing that too.
I saw where you mentioned you weren't sure if it prints petg, I'm assuming it did?
it is so far. after a bunch of prints I'll examine the boden tube to see if its melting. if it is, I need to look into a bi-metal heat-break to prevent the transfer of heat.
I ended up getting the bi-metal heat break and its been happily printing PETG without odd odors for awhile now.
Hi do this tracks fit wpl b24?what is the size of bearings that you used?thanks for your help!
hi, I'm not sure if they fit the b24. I think it was a standard skateboard bearing. it was so long ago. I think I documented all this on Thingiverse?
Hi Sam. Where do you get your butcherblock workbench tops from? Is it also from IKEA?
Hi, Thanks for your interest. I am sure IKEA has a wonderful product, but in this instance, I used something like this: www.menards.com/main/building-materials/lumber-boards/boards/mastercraft-reg-1-3-8-x-24-red-oak-benchtop/1048608/p-1444445113151-c-13115.htm Home Depot also has a similar product. You can usually get them in different lengths and depths and thicknesses! If you're using it for a kitchen, I suppose it would be prudent to verify the glue used by the manufacturer to laminate it together is food safe.
If you had made the model/plug/pattern upside down it would have been much easier to cast the mold of it. Nobody squished the pattern into the mold material . Was that a Victoria rc you were copying?
Agreed! But I totally would've misjudged its buoyancy on the first attempt.
I had a similar problem when building my own CNC. There were problems with the limit switches. The solution was not to change the wiring for another shielded one (mine is RJ45 twisted pair), but to use a ferrite at the beginning and another at the end with all the wiring. Solved case !!

ahh nice solution! I had some RJ45 I was thinking of using but it was cheap and brittle, not very good for repetitive motion. The Optocoupler solved my problem.
That's what she said
time to switch to a panhard bar
I mean, it is a $40 WPL.
This will let me work on 4' by 2' stock. Plus the videos of the build should be fast.

nice setup
Nice, reminds me of the good old days in 2008 when everyone was making every diy scrubber they could manage.
That is actually an inefficient heater! The difference between now and then though is that now access to commercial grade hardware and software is much less expensive. Now its more about the operator then the equipment. Innovation and good design will be rewarded. Checkout the product on ParlAquatics.com!
If you are going to use this boat as an RC sailing boat you really need to install a rudder tube that the rudder post passes through. The way you built it there will be a leak around the rudder post. Perhaps you did that, but it wasn't shown in the video.
Nice! I shall follow you ❤
thanks so much! It really makes a difference for us small creators! I may actually start making more RUclips content if I can get my subscribers up!
cool fix,let it rip
Is there a way we can buy those bearings?
Subbed! 😎
Hey sam, thank you very much for your great documentation! I'm starting to gather the parts to build up a multibot myself. Do you think it'll work with rods and lead screws with 800 mm in the x- and the y-axis?
yes but you may get some flex & chatter over such a long distance. Funny you mention it; I'm actually making a new version that uses 46" or 1100mm linear rails for the Y-axis. a.co/d/eOStfGZ It may be awhile before I release it as I'm curently designing the parts now. I plan to make it an upgrade path to the Multibot... was planning on using my 600mm y-axis rods for the new x-axis.
en que configuracion la tienes para corales la que trae por defecto

@@RandomProjectswithSam muchas gracias por responder a que porcentaje el blanco un 30
Keep doing your thing sir!!
Thanks! Trying to get back into the videos! Just hard to get motivated!
Hey! Have a question? Do I have to change it? Can I repair it ?
I've never had much luck repairing such small parts. If you can repair it more power to you!
Seems a little fast...Cool but fast
That is an opinion. In practice it works great! I've managed to find a setting that seems to avoid overmixing while still preventing the dreaded Kalk puck.
I'm also running it for longer then usual for the video.
@@RandomProjectswithSam Cool...it looks nice and performance can't be judged from a 30 second clip. Just seemed like it stirred up a lot of white Kalk in the water to be dosed. 30 seconds doesn't give a full picture. Glad it is working good.
@@Trickmanii I have it stirring for only 3 or 5 seconds (I forget my setting) every 2 minutes. enough to keep the undissolved solute in suspension while not disturbing the surface of the water to introduce unwanted gas exchange.
Very good job!!!
Thanks!
Hi! How to find stl file for that cable chain ?
I made it a free download on Thingiverse. The link should be in the video description but just in case its not: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4908815

What about all the moisture? I have tried many times but get tons of moisture and it ruins the media.
I wasn't aware moisture ruined the media. I've actually overflowed my skimmer through the media a few times accidentally while I was testing designs and didn't notice a change in the efficacy of the skimmer cap. That's why all my caps have weep holes now; any skimmer overflows are able to escape and not get drawn through the media. Although, I did verify that aside from a slight pH jump exposing the tank to the media is not detrimental to the livestock.
Hi Sam, I came here because I saw a comment of yours on amazon, pH ph0-14 is a ph meter, I wanted to know how you programmed it without the use of arduino. I was checking your videos but I don't see anything about this project.
Sorry I missed your comment! I did use an Arduino. I stopped posting videos for a bit; I had a bunch of projects that didn't pan out with anything fun to edit let alone watch so I took a break... Its just lasted a really long time.
music sucks. makes it hard to hear what seems like a well presented, knowledgable video. What the hell makes creators think we want to experience their questionable music?
Would you rather hear children screaming? I was heavy on the music because there was a ton of background noise. A lot of people don't like the the audio but I tossed the original footage so cant re-edit. Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt regarding my knowledge. As with everything its a learning experience; I know now to go with less background audio.
ya, about a toss up with screaming kids. On second thought, did that, done with that... well, at least it isn't german techno-pop.
Good to put yourself out there. I have some suggestions. Firstly, did you use a PVA release agent? I saw you had release troubles. It is normal to wax and polish the mould, but the final step should be a water soluble PVA release agent. This allows you to release the mould with water rather than air and is far less likely to damage your mould. Secondly, your resin use shouldn’t leave “puddles” on the cloth. You want to JUST wet it out. This gives the optimum strength at minimum weight. If you are going to add more layers, do them on the initial lay up so that they are all bonded with the same resin rather than forming discrete layers which are susceptible to delaminate. I also suggest you invest in a vacuum bagging system to ensure the layup is pressed hard against the mould. Vac pumps are cheap and readily available. Finally, switch to epoxy resin. It’s stronger, has far less odour and doesn’t shrink as it cures. Polyester is old tech.
The mould quality is stunning and the resultant hull is beautiful
Hi, sorry I didn't see your comment till now! I did use water soluble PVA but I didn't mist it on, I used a spray bottle to apply it so I am not sure I got a thick enough coat. I think I did 3 or 4 coats of wax too. I would have done two layers in the first layup if I'd known one wouldn't make it very strong. I know it was a sloppy layup because of the pooling; especially the second layup. I went with the cheapest most readily available resin because didn't know what I was doing.
@@Lozzie74 Thanks! I was presently surprised by the finish quality I was able to get in some spots of the hull with that mold. If I were todo this again, there are a number of things I'd do differently; but I'd try to keep the process that allowed me to get such a fine finish right out of the mold.
I have the exact same problem and was looking at the same part. Now I know I can make it work. Thanks for the upload!
It took me a while to figure out what to look for. A lot of garage door places wanted to charge me $40 for the small piece of metal... It didn't make sense to me so I looked around. Thanks for commenting! I am glad I could help you out!
Awesome video! 😊❤
Nice 👍👍
Why do I find this so sexy?
I wonder how your video was suggested to me, but you look like a handsome turkish actor
I have no idea but thank you! I'll take it! :D
I got super lucky this year!
Wow......awesome🥰👍
Nice 👍👍
Nice 👍👍😍
13:52 The inner ledge you made, was that the same epoxy mixture as inside the hull??
I added fumed silica to that and the 'gel coats' I added. It thickens up the resin and strengthens it.
