MadManMike Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 I've had this for 6 months now, covered 8,600 miles in it. The novelty still hasn't worn off. It looks great, sounds great and is just a blast to throw round corners. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Wasn't sure this was worthy of being here or Best of Internet. That fan car on Thursday is a friggin rocketship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 (edited) I've recently just gone from my F30 330D which I had owned for 6 years to a Mercedes-AMG GLC43, taking some getting used to moving from a diesel to a twin turbo petrol.

manuel Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 Well bugger me with a bunch of bananas, there’s a new binky episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 Must have taken a huge amount of time and effort to get all that working right so I totally get the wait between episodes, but I found that one fell pretty flat. Lots of interesting detail in there but I dunno. Hopefully they can rebuild a bit of momentum (the few vids prior were surprisingly quick succession by Binky standards, and somewhat more engaging) and it's just a one off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Yeah agree - they didn’t really finish the dials so there wasn’t any car progress. I would have preferred if they had made episodes to fill in about building the solder printer, that is a great build! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 Will be interesting to see how the literal printed circuit board will last over damp winters etc. I know they used high quality solder but even so the adhesion didn't look incredible and I wonder how it will end up in a couple of years. Amazing what they've achieved while being self-taught etc. but I can't help feeling that it's a complex prototyping system that once they have it dialled could/should be replaced by a 'proper' PCB made at PCBWay or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 Yeah. The time and money in that could well have been spent on a couple of iterations of "proper" PCB. But then I suppose the same could be said for SendCutSending most of the brackets, which would detract form the DIY build (he says, having taken delivery of two Fractory deliveries of laser cut goodies today...)

I was assuming after it worked they would cover it in something resiny to waterproof it a bit and fix the tracks. Or maybe actually just do the simple thing and design an actual board and get it made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
