Never played disc golf before. This was my introduction.

Yeah I think there's a reason for the dreaded reputation of "leg day". I know I do. But at least the soreness should stop appearing after a few weeks.

And that's it. Updated design should be stronger and also solve a few minor annoyances (the ends are beveled now). Other wing is also broken but not as bad, so I'll deal with that later.

Ready to button up. I also broke part of the truss webbing in the process and had to fix that too...

Looking back at these, I'm realizing the break happened right where the carbon fiber ends. Makes sense, but I can't extend the rod. Maybe embedding another splinted piece of carbon fiber would help here, or maybe it just moves the problem.

I do not for a moment still understand how to use TinkerCAD

The buggo needs wing repairs and it's time to dust off some very old projects...

Bad filament day...

Checked out a new (to me) section of the bike trail today and I have no idea what kind of Blair Witch shit I stumbled into.

Just the jaw. I might need to extend the frame or a strap over the head to make the jaw fully functional, but the rest of the head feels sturdy enough like a normal foam base would.

Actually printing gyroid TPU sucked because the infill is sliced assuming a supporting shell is there and it will try to start from thin air. Fortunately I was printing on an H2D so I could use PLA supports and the TPU separates cleanly.

I feel like gyroid should glue better because the glue can wrap around all the fissures. Adhesion is still tricky here because it's TPU and stuff doesn't like to stick to it. The parts are bonded with Barge which is doing okay but not as strong as foam. Hot glue barely sticks.

The gyroid model feels stiffer overall while also feeling less structurally sound, and maybe a little heavier. Though this base might be heavier with the jaw included. This feels like a more pliable EVA foam which is what I'm used to working with.

New material, new print for the Nargacuga head base. The lightweight TPU has good give and prints really well. Decided to try a moving jaw so there's a PETG jaw frame embedded in a channel inside.

First I ran out of Barge thinner. Now my respirator harness broke. This project really wants to take its time coming together.

If you're not running advanced processing on your stream (e.g. ARC), just don't. The native support is too limited and half of what IS there is broken. In fact, if you're not planning to have your butt glued to a couch, just avoid spatialized streaming in general.
