My first thought after reading this title: Oh cool, they've taken part in a drill and used the motor. I don't really know what that looks like inside a power drill. This will be an interesting post.
Immediately opened it and laughed out loud. Perfect execution, no notes.

Same thought here. Did not expect this level of jank but I loved every photo and word.
The contrast between the 3D scanning and bolting a power drill to the side was fun.

This is exactly what I wanted even though it was not at all what I expected.

You’d love how I’m starting my generator. Same drill. Hodgepodge of springs and string to manage the choke. ESP32 committing obscenities in the middle of all of it.

I do wonder how long the electronics, motor and little (plastic) gears in the drill would last with this. Especially since I'd suspect that it's designed for intermittent use, where it has time to cool down between each screw / hole drilling that you'd do normally. If you drive 2 miles in one go, that'll be a lot of heat that doesn't have time go anywhere.
Somehow I'd suspect that it won't last all that long...

Where have I seen something like this before. Right HAWK Hildesheim organized (locally) famous "Akkuschrauberrennen" https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=akkuschra...

Wonder how this would work with an impact? Also, since it already uses one-way bearings, could another drill/impact be fitted to the other side so that there are two “gears” available?

A good friend of mine told me he would frequently come across a guy who had modified his bicycle with an electric drill.
He would see him leaning over and pulling the trigger get an electric assist on the uphill section of the commute.

What is that 3D printed wheel made of that it can support over half of your weight while bumping along a road?

Yes, but you could have made it out of PETG just the same. I have some PETG parts here that we have tried to break but couldn't, that stuff is ridiculously strong for its weight if you use the right infill and you take the layer direction into account when designing the part.

Direct drive, yes, also direct drill.
Watch out for the gear change, may end up in hammer action.

You know you could have used a 90 degree chuck buddy. Or better yet, an angle grinder to make it a friction drive from above.

It's got 2 miles of range, adding those complications would likely eat up a lot of the range.

add another wheel on the other side of the drill for a kind of sidecar-like stability? (tricycle style?)

Missed the opportunity to add vacuums and blowers and go upside down plus lateral and rotational movement, with fancy dark themed site and buzz words all over :)

If AI-generated code makes new development much faster do you think the maintenance to development ratio will increase, even if the absolute count of maintenance stays equals?
