An old friend wanted me to raise the skirt of these leylandii
It ca be raised about 1/3rd but after seeing some issues, dead branches and a lot of rubbing damage, 6+ stems.. decided best to remove.
Needed the practise and plan to do some more tomorow, hopfully take the tops and start on the trunks.

If they are lipo, to look the part, they need to be in battery bags, not nicely combustible foam.I have sorted out a box for the remote control gear this morning. I am hoping to go flying later today and thought it would be best to at least look the part....
I re-used the packaging the printer came in and some hot melt glue. It will suffice until I get more of the breakout foam.
There is room for more batteries etc but I only have three for now.

They came through the post in a foam padded box so they will live on in the same luxury

How long did that take to print? The little box I did took 5 hours so that must have been days!

My balls were squashed and falling apart 
Genuine RAM mounts for my bikes mirrors, not impressed.
So drew some up in Fusion and planned to make them from some aluminium but when I went to the workshop I couldn't find anything suitable so had to resort to making them from some 50mm dia acetal.
Didn't bother setting up drill and boring bar in the CNC so just used it to make the main shape.
Then put into the manual lathe and bore/counterbored them.
Then gave the a one way knurl so that they will hopefully grip enough until I can get some aluminium.

Well that was a disaster, the acetal was just too slidy even with the knurl.
So plan B, decided to try some adhesive lined heatshrink on them, biggest I had was 3/4" but managed to stretch it to get it on.
Mirrors back on and seem to be fine, will see how long it lasts but properly knurled aluminium should work better if this doesn't work out.

Improvised some tire storage. Need a step ladder but it's perfectly doable to load and unload.
Washed and cleaned these beforehand, Saab Aero 92 rims for a 900. I mean to sell them later so I'll have to get them down again, but I wanted them out of the way for now.

I see them a lot in the city, they flip up vertical so you can still see out of them but they don't clatter van/suv wing mirrors.

I printed this in two halves. Sliced in prusa slicer and split in two with dowel connectors. Glued together with Ob1. Over all about 18 hours print time in total. 8mm thick with 5 walls.

There you go, the box the battery came in cardboard and foam, nice
cardboard and foam, nice When not in use, and provided they're not damaged, there isn't much risk from a LiPo.
The risk is when charging them (biggest risk is a faulty charger causing them to go over-voltage), or they're damaged.
