@ThatNgonGuy Looks awesome! How did you create the SPI like surface? Added realism to the image would be to have a smoother inside surface to the enclosure. I have not seen injection molded parts with that surfacing on the inside.
Calling this bevel shader high poly done. Took about 8-ish hours, with most of it being the subdiv body and figuring out boolean order of operations.
Imagine trying to do this entirely with subdiv and how long it would take 😬
And finally, you may need a case. You can 3D‑print it as well, at least for prototyping, long before even thinking about tooling. All of this can be supplied by the Chinese company. It’s an enormous productivity boost at very low cost. Europeans should offer the same.
USA burde aldri ha gjort seg til Israels tjener og Trump skulle aldri ha gått til angrep på Iran. Helt enig med dr. Jeffrey Sachs om dette, veldig bra uttalelse fra han 👇
EQC owners — the “Holy Grail” eDrive Kit is here!
And it’s not just for EQC. The solution is also being prepared for eSprinter, eVito, EQV, EQB and EQA models affected by the ZF eDrive design flaw and the high-failure-rate SiC KACO rotor seal. Validation is currently in progress — bringing your eDrive a new level of durability and long-term reliability.
Soon avilable as preventive and repair offer in EVC Zagreb, Zagreb2, Ljubljana, Belgrade and Berlin
EV Clinic consulting for OEM eDrive improvements is open: 2000€ per hour - how to make electric motor reliable and sustainable.
Original Panasonic pack with 400,000km - Tesla Model 3 Long Range with Original motors and original battery. No drivetrain replacements. No diesel theology “drama.” And most importantly, this car was spent around €20,000 on electricity.
All real maintenance costs are known and transparent: suspension components, brakes, sensors, filters, the 12-volt battery, air conditioning, and minor repairs. No oil. No gearbox. No turbochargers. No DPF. No EGR. In total, the complete operation of this Tesla powertrain system which doesnt overlap with ICE for over 400,000 km comes to roughly 3000€ which far away of worst case scenario where we calculated that he needs to change all powertrain components only at 400k 23000€. Overlaping brake system, suspension and other are same for ICE and took into account becase EV parts are most hated and used as reference.
Now put this next to a BMW G30 with the B57 diesel engine. Same class of vehicle, but objectively weaker, heavier, louder, and less enjoyable to drive. Fuel alone over 400,000 km, at a realistic consumption, costs between €42,000 and €52,000. That is already more than the Tesla spent on all electricity and all maintenance combined.
And that’s where the diesel really starts paying the price. Regular services, oil changes, filters, injectors, EGR, DPF, turbochargers, transmission, differential, cooling system, electronics — and most expensively, labor hours. In the real world, a G30 B57 at 400,000 km rarely stays below €80,000 in total operating costs and often ends up closer to €100,000. So, a German diesel eats the cost of two EVs over 400,000 km. One EV pays for itself through savings alone — something ICE can never achieve. That’s why EV prices can drop: EV owners can actually afford it.
The result is simple and uncomfortable for diesel mythology: compared to the BMW, this Tesla saved at least €50,000 — more realistically €60,000 to €70,000. So if two neighbors drive two cars — one a BMW diesel and the other a Tesla — the thing the BMW owner likes to mock, ‘the battery costs more than the car,’ actually turns out to be the advantage. Over the same mileage, it would make financial sense to replace the Tesla battery five times, compared to a BMW owner who only refuels and maintains his car. The math is that brutal.
More importantly, this saving came with no loss of functionality. The car was faster, quieter, more comfortable, and more enjoyable to drive the entire time. No compromises. No “but”.
Sustainability here is not measured by ideology, but by the fact that the original motors and the original battery are still in the car after 400,000 kilometers. This is not a theory of the future — it is proof of the present.
The conclusion is simple. Electric vehicles don’t win because they are “green.” They win because they are technically simpler, more energy-efficient, and cheaper over the long term. The BMW G30 B57 didn’t lose because it is a bad car. It lost because internal combustion technology has become too expensive for what it delivers.
Everything else is just an attempt to ignore that fact.

I designed an MRI-safe torque wrench that can be printed in place in a single piece on a Fuse 1+. Doesn’t rely on friction so it keeps 0.6Nm after hundreds of cycles.
It works great but has one MAJOR flaw—can anyone guess from the pictures?

@ArgentLiberty@willreil Sorry wasn't ignoring you but had to take a raincheck. The geometry then toolpaths were somewhat challenging as I didn't want a simple profile so included plates. Was going to run again with a 1.2mm end mill to reduce fillets but couldn't be be bothered, maybe another day.
Tip for @willreil and @ArgentLiberty. Before refining a design and toolpaths for CNC, it's very often best to have the material mounted and ready to machine. For some reason if it isn't ready, I can't find the flow. Some Xmas trees decs incoming...
@FifteenCharacto@Mammoth My spindle seems unbalanced, but maybe there are some tricks to balance it. It may be the cooling fan that creates the problem. Do you use freecad or something to create the gcode? I converted mine to be with grbl, but thinking about fluidnc.
@ArgentLiberty@Mammoth Thanks! Still use the original spindle, not a Ferrari but sufficient. The T-Slot plates have 20mm PE-HMW attached, cover the entire machine area, is levelled. The material takes M6 screws direct. This level for large blanks, custom clamps and another spoilboard for smaller blanks
