I'll go first. I just thought this would be a good place to share the deals we find and little knick-knacks we buy along the way or if you find a deal that someone else may want, feel free to post it up. 1. I scored a go-pro hero 7 off ebay for 130 bucks this week. There will be good night footage from the dragon now. Need to put a nice night fpv cam in it. www.ebay.com/itm/295238338033?nma=true&si=fFaVcRA%252BxLKTPz%252FVzY0bHd0ils4%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l25572. I had to pay 10 bucks plus more shipping for a new nose wheel for my FMS ranger. Lame. Should be like 5 bucks, this thing is literally a porch door spring with a cheap wheel on it. www.hobbyzone.com/fms/fmmrn109.html3. I had been eyeing some skyzone cobra x goggles for a while. They are the best analog box goggles you can get. I am not a fan of the low profile or whatever the correct term is because you have an external battery to deal with and all that other mumbo jumbo. So I lucked up and found a set on RCGroups for 150. 50 bucks more than a new set of eachines. I will pass my eachine ev800dms down to my daughter I suppose. 4. Of course my batteries. I got my battery shipment in today, should have my spot welder sometime this week. Just need to find some shrink wrap. |

Picked up a Ender 3 clone (Voxelab Aquila C2) with $80 worth of brand new PLA for $100. Didn't need it, but now I have a bowden tube printer that I can tinker with and add a second extruder and a auto-leveling touch sensor and I pretty much paid 20 bucks for it. Why? I dunno - because it sounds like fun? Wait - didn't I start buying stuff for a needle cutter?

I dunno - because it sounds like fun? Wait - didn't I start buying stuff for a needle cutter? I haven't posted my ender for sale yet, and I was mainly getting rid of it because I don't have room. It didn't make sense sinking money into it when I ended up with a nice direct drive printer for 220 bucks. I am not upset I impulse bought that artillery sidewinder. Speaking of which, it is on clearance again. Probably until they sell out this time since it was replaced by the x2. www.banggood.com/US-DirectArtilleryGenius-3D-Printer-Clearance-p-1915050.html?gmcCountry=US¤cy=USD&cur_warehouse=USA&createTmp=1&ID=6303874&ad_id=583410554834 |

my current printer is direct drive - I wanted to see what the fuss was about bowden tubes lol. I also got a smaller stepper motor for the extruder on my A8 ages ago to reduce the weight on the carriage (but for who know what reason I never installed it) wow - just looked up the sidewinder - that thing's a beast!

Bowden tubes.... I much prefer direct drive after owning both. They aren't bad, but you have to futz with them all the time, even if you get the allegedly nice capricorn bowden tube. Thing is, you buy an ender 3 for 180-200 bucks for whatever it is, and by the time you get all of the upgrades done so it can print something besides basic pla, you may as well had bought another printer. That is kind of why I decided I wasn't going to buy the baller direct drive hotend for it. Then this thing came up cheap, and I figured it was a ton of printer for 220 bucks, so I bought it, and it was a great purchase. Most of my issues came from the bowden tube and getting everything lined up. The only real upgrade I plan is the hot end so I can print ABS and nylon to make tough parts for cars. |

I have picked up two quads since I started this thread. I forgot to tell yall. I also have a iflight gocam that does 4k and works with gyroflow. I'll keep you posted on the great camera shootout I inadvertently had.
Also, the great white may happen after all. I started finding them for 100 shipped again. I will keep yall posted. Hopefully this one comes through.

CNHL has a good sale going on. They have a BOGO sale. I got 4 4s1500 100c batteries for my quads for 60 bucks, then spent another 9 on a 3s 2200mah to get me up to 69 bucks for free shipping. Pretty stoked I picked up 4 quad batteries for 60 bucks. chinahobbyline.com/collections/cnhl-black-friday-sale |
