Twelve clicks fixed the motor
Last lesson in the Infento course. Two things happen here. The dead hub motor from the quad build finally gets fixed, and we install both lighting kits. The motor fix is almost annoying in how simple it turned out to be. Press the power switch exactly twelve times at a fairly quick pace and it enters calibration mode, which resets the hub sensor's zero point. That's it. The motor worked normally afterward. What bothers me is that it took seven days to get that answer out of support and I couldn't find it documented anywhere. That should probably be the first entry in a troubleshooting page. On the lights. The Modular Lighting Kit runs about $39.95 and gets you two lights with color discs, three modes, USB-C charging and brackets that fit both v1.0 and v2.0 rails. The LED Light Strip Kit is about $29.95 and sticks into the channel in the aluminum rail with its own battery pack and a remote. After riding with both, the modular lights are the ones that matter for actually being seen, especially on flashing. The strip is mostly cosmetic. It's the same call as a bike light or a bright coat for the walk home once it's dark at five, what matters is what a driver sees first. My one gripe is that every light has its own battery, so parking it means plugging in four different things. Then again, that independence is exactly why these work on any ride-on, not just an Infento build. If you drill a hole and bolt through, they'll mount to almost anything. If your kid rides anywhere near dusk, what are you using to make them visible?

New Lesson: Making the faceplate move!
Latest lesson: motorizing the helmet, which turned out harder than printing it. Same as the rest, we're getting organized and turning the series into a proper classroom. If you caught this one already, no worries. This is the real, unpolished version of a build. We installed the Walsh 3D Servo Pro kit, wired up a CrashWorks control board, learned heat-set inserts, twisted and soldered our own wires, and zeroed the servos. The faceplate actually moved, which was a huge win. But we also hit real problems: heat-set holes that came out too big, the mask colliding with the servo arms, and wire routing and clearance issues we still need to fix before sanding and paint. That's the honest part of building. You try it, you learn from it, you fix it, and you keep going. If you were building this, what would make you most nervous, the printing, the wiring, the motors, or the paint? Tell us.

👋 Welcome to The Bonding Blueprint on Skool!
Hey everyone, I’m Ryan, and this is my son Evan! We’re the father and son behind The Bonding Blueprint. On YouTube, we’ve been sharing what we’re working on as a family, and we’ll continue to do that. Things like LEGO builds, STEM kits, DIY projects, 3D printing, gaming, and learning new skills side by side. If you haven't seen our channel, you can find that here: www.youtube.com/@thebondingblueprint This Skool exists for a different reason. We wanted a place where families could slow down a bit, talk to each other, share what they’re building, and learn from one another. Not just watch a video and move on, but actually be part of a community. This Skool is for: - Parents who want to spend more hands-on time with their kids - Kids who enjoy building, creating, and figuring things out - Families who already love this stuff and want to go deeper - Families who don’t know how to do any of this yet, but think it looks interesting or want to try You do not need any prior experience to be here. You don’t need to be an expert. We definitely aren’t. A big part of what we try to show, both on YouTube and here in Skool, is that a lot of these topics can look complicated or intimidating at first glance. LEGO mega builds, STEM kits, 3D printing, home improvement tools, DIY projects, even gaming setups can feel like something only experts do. In reality, once you break things down into smaller steps, watch someone else work through it, or tackle it together as a family or a community, those same projects become very approachable. That has been the whole point of our content from the beginning. Showing families that you do not need prior knowledge to start, you just need curiosity, patience, and a willingness to learn together. We make mistakes. We backtrack. We figure things out as we go. And we talk honestly about what worked and what didn’t. The most important part of this Skool is participation. Posts, comments, questions, and sharing your own projects are what will make this place valuable.

I called the horde chumps right before Evan died
🧟 I spent the horde fight calling the zombies chumps, and then Evan died. I was feeling good about the machete, so I told the whole horde they were chumps and told Evan it isn't that bad as long as you're patient and don't make bad choices. A couple of seconds later he ran out from safety to clean up the horde zombies and died to a Wheezer. Also, it was at that point he realized he never set his spawn back at our base. 👀 How it played out • I call the horde chumps, more than once, out loud. • Evan died making bad choices and says, "Nah, bro, I forgot to check my spawn." • I give him a eulogy, "He was such a good lad." 💬 Am I the only dad who jinxes his own kid by bragging about a fight before it's over?

DeceasedCraft EP11, Evan Wanted a City Tunnel and Got the Subway
🎬 NEW EPISODE. DeceasedCraft EP11 is up, the full video is right here. 📚 It's in the classroom too, under "EP11, Say Yes To The Real Version". This one was supposed to be a quick dig. The plan was a tunnel from our parking garage down to the nearest subway line, so we could drive to a city instead of walking there, and Evan explained it to the camera before we'd even started. Then he upgraded it to a tunnel all the way to the city, which would've taken way too long, so we pulled up the map together and went for the subway entrance just north of us instead. He still got his fast route, just a shorter one. 🎮 What's in this one • Evan opened by reading out the name he gave every item he owns, "Mr. Fightster" and "Ser Brass" included. • He told me I should really name all my stuff, then got offended when I called his names fun instead of real. • We packed food and water for the trip and he found five onions in his bag he couldn't explain. • He went hunting for a hammer that mines three by three, and the one he made just destroys stuff. • Evan scouted the subway first and got jumped by zombies on the wrong side of the tracks. • When the horde hit that night, Evan told me I didn't need to come help and burned the rest himself. The moment I liked most wasn't the tunnel. Evan swore our water source was down in the basement and kept asking how much I wanted to bet, and I told him no bet, I believe you, you're usually right. He was right. It's a small thing, but when he's sure of something and he's been right before, I'd rather take his word for it than make him prove it, in the game or at home. When your kid is dead sure about something and wants to bet you on it, do you take the bet or just take their word?
