OH this is a first devlog.

I’ve stared by a lot of research, like it began a year ago when I’ve seen a video of a guy making his own onewheel out of an old hoverboard. Not to mention that I was timkering with howerboards for like four years.

Also I’ve ridden OneWheel at Open Sauce which was amazing, also while signing a waiver lol - it was my first time in the states

So I’ve began by researching all about it. And I still haven’t fell into the OneWheel rabbit hole.

Yeah after research I’ve began working on the CAD for this project. it should be well documented as it’s supposed to be in the FOSS OSHW spirit.
First were the 20x40 extrusions for which I have found a dxf file and with the help of some tutorial extruded … after trying to find a plugin for it - well sometimes the best solution is the simpliest.
Then found the motors on grabcad along with the tire. And that’s it for now. Like I wouldhave continued but today was pretty packed.

PS: I’m building a prototype OneWheel in parallel with the scaps I have laying around to learn from the mistakes and make it better.
I now know that plastic wheels along with making the tire airless raised a bunch of challenges.
