Here's next week's video, early for Patrons! This one goes out publicly next Tuesday 10th May. 

I was supposed to make a video about Makers Central where I was exhibiting at the weekend which was due to go out today, but the event was extremely busy so I didn't actually get around to making any footage.

I have a few bigger projects planned now I have somewhere bigger to work and make a mess, and another workshop update coming in the next couple of weeks too hopefully.

Large Omni-Wheel - PEWVIEW VERSION

Omni-wheels you can buy are normally not that cheap, especially the larger ones. I’ve seen some forklift trucks with mecanum wheels which have slanted wheels around their circumference, but I’m imagining that those are fairly costly. I really want to get hold of a large omni-wheel strong enough for me to ride on, and I’ll talk more about what I’m planning to do with it at the end of the video. So for now, it looks like I have to design and build one.

My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

If you ever desperately need to borrow a drill press, drop me a line can lend you mine (its pretty portable) and if im not mistaken you're just down the M3 from me in Basingstoke

Thanks, I'm talking to a few tool companies about them providing some items. I get the keys to the bigger unit within a week so I'll be getting some new kit.

Fair enough, offer is always there though, and for anything else you might need a hand with - i just like helping out :)
