Hottest day of the year so far. Oil temp in the test vehicle reached 95° C (194°F). That means the 3d printed TPU valve cover gasket was in direct contact with that temp. It and the other 2 have yet to fail. 2 complete mows so far with the valve cover and fuel gasket. 4 on the carb gasket. Each mowing is about an hour and 1/2. If you have no idea what I am talking about. Check this playlist - 3D printed gaskets: youtube.com/playlist?list...

Got a great deal from reddit.com/r/3Dprintingdeal/. 1kg black TPU for $17. Not sure there is any left but it is a great place to find pop up deals. Let me know of any resources you use to find deals in the comments. Best!

2nd mow done and the 3D printed TPU gasket and new #hipastore carburetor performed flawlessly. If you have not seen the second video with temperature experiments here ya go https://youtu.be/dSGOzGJjoWc
Outside temp during this test was a slightly chilly 60°F , the big tests will come with Georgia summer heat.

Hello all, just a heads up. My latest video was corrupted after the 5 minute mark after I tried to make a simple edit with the Youtube editor. I am going to reupload it, so if you get another notification for the same video that it is why. If you already watched it just disregard the the notification, if you have not watched it or it hung up after a few minutes then go watch the reupload or else...just kidding. But if you do want to see the mystery tool at the end, the reupload should allow that.
All the best as always and thanks! Eddie

Sorry folks I made a bit of a cock up. The email address in the description was wrong for an hour or so after I published. If you were one of the first 14 people to view the latest video and sent me an email requesting a sticker, I may not have received it. If you did not get a reply confirmation from me, please re-send your address to the correct email that is now in the description. The one in the actual video is correct.
Sorry for the confusion,
All the best!

I just got access to this community post feature but don't worry I don't plan to use it much or at all after this. I just wanted to take the opportunity to give a big thanks to everyone for subscribing and helping me reach 1000 subs. It has been a fun ride and I hope it continues for a good many more miles. If you have any suggestions for vids or just things you would like to see, please let me know below. Be sure to check out my latest video hacking my way through a Honda.
Thanks again , I hope you are all staying safe, all the best, and see you next time, Bye!
