Put together a custom Terran themed welding helmet for work, i’ll work on a zerg and a protoss one soon. nothing fancy, but still cool. let me know what y’all think.
There will be a space in the link so that it works.

Try not to cry when you see this. It was literally my first time ever. A chick I know had an ebike. The tines to the front wheel were bending and rigidity is proportional to thickness on the bending axis so we just needed to make it thicker. I had an old wire welder sitting in a shed that hadn’t been used in at least 15 years. Dropped a spool of wire in it and it worked great. I did get sun burnt thought. The bike died less than 6 months later anyway. The motor is built into the tire which means the motor feels are the forces from gravity in addition to all the rotary forces. If there is any flex, the stator and rotor would rub together and this eventually caused the motor to fail. That’s why it’s better to have an axle with a drive pulley and mount the motor separately via a belt. Then you add a cover to keep the belt clean.
You can see the culprits of the motor failure in that photo. The screws that hold the two halves together would slip and that allowed the rubbing. We drilled out the old ones & tapped it for a size bigger but that wasn’t enough and the motor died. We couldn’t drill any other holes because that would be drilling into lamination of the stator and that would mean eddy current losses in the stator.

That hurts my soul!!! But honestly man, thats better than some of the “ticketed welders” that i work with…
Thanks man, i appreciate it. I have a cool idea for a Zerg one. I just gotta see how i can get it done.
