As Steve Jobs said “Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it.” And that’s basically what I try to make with my printer.

The Next Chapter in CyberBrick Modular RC Chassis
The Next Chapter in CyberBrick Modular RC ChassisSince the release of CyberBrick, us creators got the ability to create amazing projects. CyberBrick sentence the new era of electronics and modular systems, all that combined with 3D Printing. Not only us as creators but also all the Makers and Users from all over MakerWorld and the whole 3D Printing community got into our hands this amazing gift given by MakerWorld and BambuLab. And every single one has been trying to exploit CyberBrick Ecosystems in every single possible aspect and this is what my new GT-RC 4S Chassis is all about. Long time ago I released the GT-RC S and the GT-RC R, 2 modular chassis based on the same phylosophy, they should be able to accomodate any single possible car that I could Imagine and that I would love to have in my hands but this time with this project (GT-RC) It wasn´t anymore about 3D Printing something and then just let it catch dust in a display rack. This time not only me but users from all over the world where able to not only feel the things that they 3D Printed, but also drive them and watch them in action. Since the Release of GT-RC S I´ve released more than 12 cars and all of them are compatible with GT-RC S and GT-RC R, but being honest, everytime I wanted to have fun and take this cars for a ride or even go with friends and make some races I never took the GT-RC S, this chassis is the small brother of the GT-RC Family and it was based on the CyberBrick and MakerSupply Architecture, the problem with this last one is that it was barely able to reach top speeds of 6Km/h while it´s big brother the GT-RC R was able to reach top speeds of 70 to 80 Km/h.  I really Enjoyed tinkering and playing with the GT-RC S, it was easier to use and more accessible, thanks to the CAD Files provided by MakerSupply I was able to create a chassis with better ergonomics, functionality and accessibility but the philosophy of this chassis was to only be compatible with MakerSupply components, that means that the highest performance engines were the N20 1000RPM´s but the problems comes when you take a look to the physics behind small electric motors. When I released the GT-RC S Chassis inside the BOM People can find the needed components and inside that list, the N20 400RPM Motors arrived, people was constantly asking why the 400RPM and not the 1000RPM? Well the answer is simple, the higher the RPM´s the Lower the Torque, so in real world conditions and after some tests, I was unable to use the N20 1000RPM Motors, cars barely were able to start and move from their stading position, this 3D Printed Cars are heavy and some people complained about the waste of plastic involved in the shells and how time consuming they are, but again there´s a reason for that. The another side of the story when it comes to the 3D Printed Shells and why they have so much infill or why they are so heavy is just for one single reason, GT-RC Started on it´s roots with the GT-RC R, the GT-RC S was something that I never planned, CyberBrick arrived right in the middle of the development of the GT-RC R. And once I completed the first functional prototypes of this last one, I found a problem, cars had no grip, no matter what TPU Filament I used for the Tyres, so the cars needed more weight to transfer more grip to the ground and that´s the main reason but again this decision came at a cost that I never expected it would affect another project that I was about to launch, the GT-RC S. So when I already had available the shells of GT-RC and the GT-RC R First protoype I started to work on the GT-RC S, I was so excited to release a CyberBrick version of my modular chassis, but again we go back into the start, the main problem, the powertrains offered by Maker´s Supply, the options were N20 400 or N20 1000 and as most of you already know and based on the results that previously said in this post, I had to use the N20 400, Speed? Boring compared to GT-RC R, Emotions? Almost non Existent, Fun? Nope. But don´t get me wrong I knew the reasons and I don´t blame the motors or the ecosystem by itself, I still was amazed that such tiny motors were able to move those big 1/12 scale Big Blocks of 3D Printed PLA, Some cars were almost at the point of weighting 1Kg. So going back to the start, CyberBrick offered an ecosystem that allows us creators to make anything we have in mind, the limit is our creativity and my creativity and head were constantly telling me to improve and make faster the GT-RC S. So the solution? Simple, Adding more motors to the Formula, But Applying the solution into the practice? Well that is the complex part and where the headaches started. So based on that idea of applying more motors there was 2 possible ways, implementing 4 motors in the rear or implementing 4 motors at each wheel, 2 at the front 2 at the rear, the first solution easy, but the crazy or reinventing factor was poor and I really wanted to release an AWD Chassis, wich was something that I never did, so I went with the second solution, more complex but it had more of a crazy factor. So I started tweaking in the CAD and as soon as the .STEP File of the N20 Motors arrived to the front Axis, the problems started everywhere, the Motors were colliding with everything, they were hitting Both Suspensions Coilovers, they hitted even the central pillar of the front chassis, when suspensions compressed they hit the control arms, the steering rack? Impossible to connect it to the Front Axis, so the solution needed more of my creativity, I had to make an Entire new Front Chassis, new Steering Design, new Stronger and at the same time thinner suspensions and also I had to fix and change some things that I didn´t liked from the GT-RC S, things that some users complained about and that I had to redesign, but after 1 Month, evey single solution arrived, with patience and determination. And the Results? Well you can check my new CrowdFunding Campaign and see the new GT-RC 4S and see why it´s the new era of modular CyberBrick Chassis, a new chassis that now it´s really well paired with CyberBrick and a Chassis that now I really want to use and that extracts every single possible potential available from the currenet hardware for CyberBrick. So you can consider this as the Prologue of what you´re about to see in the GT-RC 4S Presentation Video. https://makerworld.com/en/crowdfunding/254-gt-rc-4s-next-gen-cyberbrick-modular-rc-chassis
KCS Coasters, Art blending with Kinetics NOW LIVE!
KCS Coasters, Art blending with Kinetics NOW LIVE!I´m proud to share with everyone my First CrowdFunding in MakerWorld, the KCS Coasters. This last weeks I´ve been watching how the KCS Coasters Crowdfunding has been gaining more and more followers and finally, today, I´m proud to release it to the world and start this campaign together with MakerWorld, you can find all the detail info in this link: https://makerworld.com/en/crowdfunding/150-kcs-kinetic-modular-coasters/rewards Even though if you´re lazy enough to get into another link here´s a resume about KCS Coasters.  This Coasters are like no single other Coaster you´ve ever seen in your whole life, as this ones are Kinetic Coasters, as you can see in the banner of this post, this models have an outside, modular and beatifully designed exterior ring that moves every time you place on top of them a glass of water or a cup of tea, KCS has built-in 3D Printed Helical Gears and Springs, all that together will allow only the most exquisite and highly refined users that dare to push this crowdfunding campaign and get their Kinetic Coasters, to achieve a Kinetical Motion Every single time they place on top of the Coasters. This Kinetic Motion will probably give you some few seconds of pure relaxation and excitement, as you´ll be watching something that the human eye has never seen, not at least in this format and with this functionality. But the crazy thing about this CrowdFunding campaign it´s not only the beatifully designed and engineered KCS Coasters, or their beatifull transitions, there´s even more. Some Tiers / Rewards will arrive with my iSembly program/tool to create easy and fast assembly guides, also some bundles will include a video tutorial made by me on how to create Textures in Blender, not only for KCS Coasters, but also to add different Textures to your own 3D Printed models. Some may Ask why would you add a Blender Tutorial or an Assembly Guide Program, the thing is that the main idea also of this CrowdFunding Project is to allow everyone pledging this campaign to create and sell their own designs, all that together with the Commercial License of the KCS Coasters, as the main idea of this project like some other succesful projects that I´ve already released into MakerWorld is to keep everything as much Modular as Possible and that´s how it is. You can combine the Top Part, the Base and the External Ring of each KCS Offered design and the good thing is if the campaign reaches any of the Stretch Goals, the ammount of combinations and KCS Coasters offered by the end of the CrowdFunding will increase exponentially. So if you´re interested go and check my KCS Coasters CrowdFunding Campaign. Thanks for your time. Mr.Rod
Mr.Rod´s NEXT LUCKY CAR FAV COMMENT WINS!
Mr.Rod´s NEXT LUCKY CAR FAV COMMENT WINS!This is gonna be a bit different post compared to the other ones, in this Post All of you will decide what cars should be arriving in the next uploads to MakerWorld, so let´s set the rules of the game. 1. First of all give like to this post, if the Post don´t reaches a minimum of 100 likes then I won´t be taking any actions or uploading any cars based on the comments section, that´s the first important rule. 2. To participate you can comment wich car you want to arrive soon or…       3. If the car you wish to arrive has already been commented, just give it a thumbs up 4. The car/comment that has more likes will be the one arriving in 1/19 scale and as 1/12 RC scale too using as some of you know the GT-RC Modular Plattform (CyberBrick Compatible or MJX) 5. Also this is gonna be a kind a of game where one each user like can also be increased, there are 2 ways to increase one single like in a comment and convert it into 2, 3 or even 5 likes at the same time per user. 5.1 MULTIPLIER 1: If you share a photo of one of my builds that will account as a like increaser, share 1 car of mine with photos and your like will account as 2 likes, share 3 photos of different cars of mine and your like will account as 4 likes. (1 Photo of 1 car of mine = 1+Like more to the comment you share the photos) 5.2 MULTIPLIER 2: If you share a screenshot showing off how many times you boosted one of my builds then your likes will be increased by the ammount of times that show off you boosted a model of mine, so if you give like to a comment/car and you show via screenshot that you boosted me 3 times, then your like will account as 4 likes total inside a comment/car choice 5.3 OVERALL MULTIPLIER: So all this last things means that if you give like to a car/comment and inside that comment/car you show off that you´ve printed 3 cars of mine and sended me 2 boosts then that means that your like will account as a total of 6 likes in total. (1Like + 3Cars + 2Boosts = 6Likes) This is gonna make things more interesting. 6. The finish line of the game will be setted the 31/12/2025. And so that´s all for this post, now it´s your choice and your time to take action, Let´s see wich is the next car arriving :) See ya on the comment section.
