Hey, I need to make an experiment for physics. I can test whatever I want. Yet the problem is, I can't think of anything that I want to test. Ideas? I've got plenty of time to do the testing, so times not an issue. Please don't suggest things that will cost a ton.

Thx :thup:

Is there any specific subject in physics that you are doing? Electricity, space, motion, etc?

If there's an archery range nearby you can test the pull strength/speed of arrows xD

You could also just play around with forces if you want^^

Just take some balls of different size and prefferably of different material and roll them on the floor towards each other and document the relationship between the weight, density and the speed of which they roll when they collide:)

Can you supercool a magnet or something? Or a strobe light and swing a rope around or something. Or you can be like me, and get dry ice the day before it's due and say you burned yourself and get another few days to work on it.

Well since times not a problem, i suggest creating a hadron collider.

But for the more... smaller end of projects, i guess you could make a Rube Goldberg contraption utilizing the forces of physics somehow :D

Geez, you guys went all out on these ideas.

And I was about to just test the affective range & blast radius of my shotgun... :eek:

High school physics can only take you so far :D

I like my Gauss idea. All you need to do is make a wood or plastic track, get some neodymium magnets, and steel ball bearings. If you set up a few of them you can set up a series of chain reactions that make it go faster. Just be sure that no one is in front of it because they hurt sometimes.

Or you could build a railgun^^ The basic idea is that you have two rails connected to each pole on electric storage device(battery) and then you put the projectile in the middle so that it barely fits, this will force the current through the projectile and makes the rails have different magnetic poles thus pushing the projectile fortward. The longer the rails the faster the projectile goes:thup:

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
