Well, it's been a little while, but here's part two of the 3D printed drone build, looking at the 3D printed components, the drone electronics, and how they go together. Part 3 should be around soon once I finally get around to flight testing!

I'm on the quest for a new hexacopter frame after crashing my old one, and I've decided to try and 3D print it. In this first part, I discuss my goal and then test out different 3D printing filaments and designs to see what's best.

Join me as I try to work out what the best place to see the 2024 eclipse is, journey there, visit some other attractions along the way, and rediscover what it is that I truly enjoy about trips like this.

I went on my first multi-night trip in the camper van and for some reason decided to record a travelogue as I was doing it - so here you go! I visited the Sunspot Solar Observatory, White Sands National Park, and met up with a friend travelling across the US in Truth Or Consequences. 00:00 - Day 1 07:39 - Day 2 16:29 - Day 3 20:50 - Day 4 25:32 - Wrap-Up

It's the end of the first phase of the build and this video series, and I go through building the bathroom and shower, how the toilet is supposed to work, and a few other improvements I've made after the first couple of "beta test" trips! 00:00 - Opening 00:21 - Intro 01:01 - Bathroom Overview 03:09 - Greywater System 08:11 - Bathroom Construction 11:11 - The Shower 12:43 - Shower Flooring 13:5...

Cabinetry. Who knew that it would be harder than electrical, plumbing, flooring, insulation, and structural work? Turns out, it is. Plus, a look at the panelling in the van, and a few other small improvements. 00:00 - Opening 00:23 - It's Been A While 01:15 - Cabinet Talk 07:02 - Panel Talk 11:00 - Cabinet Close-Up 12:51 - Some Are Better Than Others 13:27 - A Few More Cabinet Facts 14:08 - Pan...

I take a look at the water and propane plumbing systems in the van, including supply, piping, and fitting choices (including how I got one of them totally leak-free the first time!). Plus, a look at other van progress, including the kitchen and the mattress. No accompanying blog post for this one - maybe I'll write one later on - but the key pieces of tech shown here are the Propex HS2800 air h...

Shockingly, this week is all about electrics in the camper van - batteries, chargers, inverters, breakers, wiring, and the wonders of both 12V and 110V systems.

It's time to talk about my sliding van bed! I go over the mechanism, the structural considerations, how it's linked with the rest of the van's framing, and of course, the cost.

Join me on my quest to stop heat going where I don't want it to go by stuffing a whole plethora of different materials into the walls of the camper van! Build notes/materials are on my blog, as usual: aeracode.org/2022/02/22/camper-van-insulation/ 00:00 - Opening 00:40 - Why Insulate? 01:33 - XPS Foam 04:00 - Thinsulate 06:52 - Sound Deadening 09:43 - Thermal Bridging 10:43 - Low-E 12:48 - Insu...

A quick summary of how to cut holes - for fans, vents, and other things - in the roof of your camper van (or any other vehicle, really!) For a longer build discussion of this with more detail, see my full build video on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/FcSJ7SGihqw/v-deo.html

In this part of my camper van build, I look at what it takes to install things into the roof - a MaxxFan ventilation fan, Low Pro roof rack, solar panels and an LTE antenna - without attracting rust or letting water in. More build notes, materials and product details/links are on my blog: aeracode.org/2022/02/08/van-roof-fans-and-solar-panels/ 00:00 - Opening 00:36 - Why I'm Cutting Holes 02:58...

I'm back with my camper van build, and it's time to look at the first actual part of the build - the floor! I talk you though choosing and installing floor insulation, subfloor, and the flooring itself, as well as finishing things off with some nice floor edging. A full materials list and more info is on my blog: aeracode.org/2022/01/27/camper-van-flooring/ 00:00 - Intro 00:49 - Flooring Layers...
