As someone else mentioned the current CA clean air vehicle decal system was always going to end on September 30th 2025, Clean Air Vehicle Decal | California Air Resources Board
It was hoped that an extension to the program would happen but as newsweek and other outlets mention, "The current...
There are so many 3D printers on the market these days that choosing one is very tough.
I've been using Prusa printers for many years and don't see myself changing. Yes, they are on the more expensive side of consumer printers, but they have great customer support, lots of spare part...
I was in a similar situation to you earlier this year but with the R1T. Ended up going for the used 2023 although mine's a January build so still has the dual 12V batteries. Saved $30K and have been enjoying driving it rather than an extra year of anticipation! We did test drive a new truck and...
The good news is that the color isn't defined in the model so you can print them in any color combination you like. The bad news is you can't download the models anymore :(
I used the 0.2mm structural preset and only modified the following.
Single perimeter on top surface - Topmost surface only
The other thing I made sure to do, was print the yellow last. In Prusa slicer the tools are used in numerical order 1 through 5 so I placed the yellow in the highest...
As others of said there is a good chance that Rivian will ask you to remove any IP related files from 3D model websites, should you upload them. I know this firsthand and when I asked Rivian for permission to keep the files available (for a few reasons) it was denied. I also know some other...
Worse thing we ever had to avoid was an eliptical exercise machine. Saw it was loose in the bed of a truck and decided to slow down just in time as the whole damn thing bounced out of the bed on I-215 in Temecula, CA right in front of us!
What problems did you have with the coasters? I used PLA for all my test prints on a Prusa Mk4 with MMU and all designs printed without issue. The compass logo and yellow accents are pretty small so that’s the only issues I could see that might happen.
As a slight aside SAE just published the updated J3400/2 which is the 1000V capability for NACS. SAE J3400/2 Update Brings Quicker NACS Charging | Sustainable Mobility Career Center
Eh, no!
I was asked not to do something by the IP holder so I'm not going to do exactly the opposite of that. If you want to design your own and release them please go ahead but my choice is not to anger Rivian and have to deal with the consequences.
Did the LA area trip to Vegas back in March in our '23 R1T Quad. Left with 100% state of charge and stopped at the EA station in Baker with an arrival SOC of 45%. Stayed about 25 minutes but I forget how much charge we left with, probably around 75%. Absolutely horrendous head winds for most of...
