Create E Track Tie Downs For F150 2015 through 2023
There are many different tie down brackets for the Ford F150. Making your own flat plate E-Track brackets can be rewarding and provide a basis for snap in E-Track accessories like tie down rings, straps and tool and bucket holders and hooks. Also harbor freight has brackets for 2x4 wood load retainers. The metal used is 1/8" aluminum 6061. Four M6-1 screws are needed for each of four total brackets created. Ford doesn't tap the holes where the plates mount so you either have to use self threading M6 screws or hand tap threads into the blank nuts Ford installed.

Filament Broken off in Extruder How to Clear Fast!
zhlédnutí 39Před 2 měsíci
If your filament breaks off just above your hotend and below your drive gear, it may be near impossible to get out without disassembly. As a last resort, try heating your filament push rod with a small torch - warning! don't overheat! If your rod is glowing red your probably heated it too much! Remember you only need it to be 200f to clear your extruder. Be careful and I am not responsible if y...

Adding a Grease Fitting to a Bafang Ultra Mid Drive Ebike Motor to Quiet Noisy Motor

Bafang mid drive Ultra motors have very little grease from the factory. The motors become very loud over time and a cure is to grease them. I have found the best grease for this is Cornhead Grease.

Is it just me or does this controller fry really easily. Combined with headset cable routing it's not a good situation if the slightest damage happens to the display cable.
From what I've read these do not work well as the ones that bolt over the stem and even then it needs to be a good brand like satori as many are cheap and dangerous.
Well,mst, riding is believing! Mine is still performing perfectly after 2000 miles of hard riding. I didn’t think it would last this long but I have checked it twice and no movement whatsoever. Ride safe!!
I guess it’s “inexpensive” if your time is worth nothing. Otherwise it’s about $900 all in.
Dude! Thank you so much for this. I'm wiring remote fobs for my cap light on my 2024 Forest river vibe 34xl. I too hate the switch in the front Bay lol. Anyway I was struggling with the wiring about to give up and I clicked on your video. Your quick explanation of the wiring made my day. I got it up and working immediately! So I just wanted to send a thank you from Boone NC😁
Matthew!! Glad to help. The remote switch works awesome! Enjoy !!
You've solved one problem, but created another. As the motor casing is a sealed unit, you'll need to include a breather, or another removable screw to allow for release of the pressure that will build up when you add grease. Other than that, it's a good work around for a pain in the rear process.
Hello Derek! the case is not air tight as air escapes around the Crank/ Torque sensor. No pressure problem. The seal between the gear case and electronics also works adequately to keep grease out of the controller. Just don't use a powered grease gun and go wild!! ha ha. Ride safe!!
@@filoncmike cool, thanks for replying. Ride safe!
Its been a year, has the tube cracked yet?
Nope!! All good. Even took it off twice to check. Over 1500 hard single track miles. Ride safe!!

U dont have to do all this u can unload from the extrusion page it has auto unload and load. just feed the filament in then hit load no need to push it threw and risk clogs..
My magician pro does not have an unload feature, just load and stop.

@@filoncmike I'm looking for how to clean an extruder with clogged filament not broken filament. As in melted everywhere in the nozzle/extruder apparatus.
@@Cacowninja Ouch!! That does not sound good. Maybe try a heat gun and try to get everything soft enough to use needle nose pliers to pull the mess out or a small screwdriver to pry it all out. Not sure how hot plastic came out of nozzle end and turned into your mechanism.
@@filoncmikeActually that's not what happened. What happened is I have a stuck piece of filament. Like this really small piece of filament that won't heat up for some reason with the extruder open.
@@Cacowninja did you watch this video? may be the only way to get it out. czcams.com/video/pJirx3VmRbA/video.html
Great idea!
Thanks Ron!! Pleasure meeting you at the park!!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Wtg looks great!
since this grease has a mineral oil base there could be concerns about degrading plastic gears over time. I've made myself a similar grease using Lucas' Xtreme Heavy Duty (synthetic Polyurea SS) and heavy(320W) industrial gearbox oil. that blend flows pretty well yet sticks to gear teeth and is fully synthetic.
thank you for your advice bro ❤
wow dude that thing is pretty awesome, cool build!
Wow, are you sure thats enough grease. You should have added a tub of butter just to be safe...unsalted
You know, Velo, I think butter might work!! Ha Ha! It would be a lot better than the minute amount of grease the factory adds!! Ride safe!

Nice video! How's it holding up after 5 months?
hello Christoph! It shows no sign of ever failing! I have added 1000 miles of hard riding without a problem. I never finished painting it thinking it might not last. I think i'll have to sand and paint it not!! Ride safe!!
@@filoncmike Wow, that's great! I have an aluminum frame hybrid bicycle that I adore, but it got a crack in the down tube, right under the seat post flange. I'd love to try this out. Otherwise, it's a huge hassle to do a weld repair because then the heat treatment gets ruined, and then you have to get the whole bike re-heat treated. And, all the parts would have to be removed as well. Wow, this seems like a great option! Thanks for the upload!
@@mumpygumboo8554Let me know how it works out for you! I was amazed at the strength. Be sure to take the wrap cover off after the time they say or it will stick to the repair!! Ride safe!
how did you put the top cap on?
hello Aim! the allen screw that tightens the stem extender into the tube has a threaded hole for the bearing preload cap to screw into!! Genius! Ride safe. BTW, rode today with no problems. I think I have near 1000 miles on the extender.
Is this frame from the bafang bike you did a unboxing review of?
Jeff, no this is my first mid drive fat tire bike which I abused and still ride the heck out of it with that JB weld fiber cast repair. It was the perfect solution. The bike that I unboxed is really a killer after I upgraded the shock and front fork. It destroys Specialized and Trek. The power is awesome and I love flying by my friends with a mere push of the throttle!! Ride safe!
You have link of the bike?@@filoncmike
@@jeffreycasier6094 Jeff, I had 7 bikes built for me and my friends according to my specs. I dont have any more and I have not seen any comparable. Most have an in tube battery and are fat tire. I wanted the bafang ultra, 2.88 tires, and with the biggest shark battery I could get at the time to be able to upgrade easily if necessary. ride safe!!
como va la adaptación, funciono?
I highly recommend this swap. It is working perfectly! More travel, almost no pedal strikes. 100% improvement. Ride safe!!
excelente! thanks bro @@filoncmike
Thanks for the help!
too much grease I think will be hard for the motor, maybe a gear oil has less of a drag. Usually, the noise is coming from the slightly worn-out bearings. You hear less noise because the grease muffled the bearing noise. In my opinion.
Hello Mr Man! After thousands of miles on multiple motors, the cornhead grease works perfect! The amount of grease mentioned in the video seems also perfect as no grease has migrated into the controller cavity where gear oil as suggested by you will probably leak into that area. As for the grease slowing down the motor, be realistic, it is a light grease with a coefficient of friction of around .05. Ride safe!!
Максимум 2 месяца работы😅
How much did you give for the battery ?
Good luck
Farhan, thanks! The bike is performing beyond expectations!! Ride safe!

More larger tires,more traction.
I used this thing for only 8 days. It failed. I turned it on one morning and the display didn't turn on. The light in the extruder didn't turn on. The China based support only responds through email. They take 1-2 days to respond. They just told me that I have to PAY to send the defective printer back to them! Really? Good companies don't do that. If you buy one of these things and it fails, you're screwed! Take some time to read their warranty information on their website. It's extremely vague. I got this thing as a birthday gift. I loved it until it failed. I wasn't using it in any way that could have broken it. I just printed some really nice stuff. I am offended that Mingda thinks it's OK to make me pay for shipping! That is a very shady business practice. I will be filing a complaint with the Texas attorney general's office. I will leave negative reviews everywhere I see this product being sold. They just pissed off the wrong customer.
Sorry to hear that. How long have you had it? Could it be just a fuse? I haven’t opened it up at all. They should definitely pay shipping if they want it back. They should just send you a new one!!👍
Are this extenders will work on dualcrowns fork?

Antifreeze hasn’t affected it so far. Good luck!!
fantastico @@filoncmike
Useful video btw
Do you know how I can disable the filament out sensor on the magician X as mine is faulty.
If you click on settings you can turn it off
this kind of tire carrier is great. just drop the tire every year. to lube the unit. and check the tire for rd damage. but one must secure he spare from theft. those cheap stick locks do not work. way to easy to by-pass or just snap off. one needs DOT 1/2 in chain. and a large pad lock (better quality, not a master lock) that is not easy for a lock pick to get to. and a plate to protect the chain from being cut. and this even goes for the cheap one use half tire spares as the crooks sell them real fast.
lots of reasons to open up the case and keep it clear and get good thread cutting. dont do a half ass job. to it right the first time.
Great idea, did not even think about that one so thanks for having the idea and testing it. No doubt your measurements are great but turns out Bafang had sent me the CAD file of the motor so took me 5 minutes to create an STL file of a 1.05mm thick gasket (thanks for the tip on the thickness ;-)) with the exact precise measurement of the motor. Anyone wanting to 3D print this gasket (at their own risk) can download it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1tVLaxcz7pdw8Yp2jpN4KmTyVwQsZUNaQ/view?usp=sharing
Who fucking die and left you in charge ?
hello everything is fine? Did you do some tests with the bike and everything is still going strong?
I took it on a hard 16 mile very rocky ride today. All went well.
I dono how i ended up on this video but looking at this it's definitely not a good idea to add that much grease. There is no gasket inside the housing so you'll eventually start leaking grease into the electronics as some will break down. Never drill into a motor and leave shavings in there open it up drill your hole and add maybe 10 pumps to start with. Some motors make more noise then other that is fine. I would honestly do this modification on my own bike run it for 100 -250 - 500-1000 miles and then come back and post the video once you've identified that it will not cause issues!
baba, I know it seems like a lot of grease, but i assure you after many thousands of miles and opening the motor up to check, no grease has migrated into the controller. There is a rubber grommet that separate the two chambers. If you drill first without grease then grease the drill bit for the final cut through, you shouldnt get any chips and when you tap the threads with greased tap no chips either with practice. BTW they are aluminum chips so they don't effect the gears if by some unknown miracle they migrate to the gears , the chips do no harm to the gears. ride safe and quiet!! 🚲😀

@@zj4041 send a pic of your serial number on the bottom of the motor to greenbikekit.com or bafang and they will tell you. Good luck!!
That is WAY too much grease in my honest opinion. Not removing the old grease, not great. Frankly you can remove the few screws on the cover, not that hard. This is gonna work, ofc its going to be silent, but the gears are going to fight and "swim" through the grease now. I would have stopped at like 30 pumps max. You did stop at 40, then video cut and you go "so i put 80 pumps in there". I could not hold a good chuckle. I am not a mechanic and maybe i am wrong, but those 80 pumps seem to be a LOT.
Please don't take my comment badly man. Great idea. Let's just agree to disagree on the right amount of grease.
Thanks Poma! re: not removing the old grease - since there is very little grease from the factory and little contamination occurs during operation, I would say that is not a factor. The idea for the video is that one can add a grease fitting in the perfect spot without removing the motor and easily grease their motor. I've removed and inspected the motor at least 5 times in my 5,000 mile hard driving journey and every gear and bearing is factory fresh. 80 pumps is not that much and just fills in the cavities without getting into the controller area. glad you got a good chuckle! 😀 ride safe!!

So you don't have to take the motor apart every time you have to regrease. My Lekkie block for the BBSHD has one of these built in. Super nice feature.
That is a big jump and fork length. Are you able to keep your front wheels down on climbs?
3arrows - I really don't notice any rideability effects from the longer front fork. Your natural riding position seems to make up for it without thinking. i do notice the longer travel and elimination of pedal strikes!!
how is it holding today? does it come loose again with the epoxy ? or not?
Ok Carl. I just returned from a 16 mile rocky, hilly trail and it seems to be holding just fine. I think the key is to lube the bolt and wedge components and tighten it as tight as you can. It may take to people to get it tight. I epoxied it just in case , but maybe it was overkill!! 😀
