I am a new Yarbo owner and get my core tomorrow and my pro sometime in November. I also own a 3d printer.
I see that there are Yarbo parts on Thingiverse. I was wondering if we have a dedicated threat on these forum for 3D Printed parts.
Thanks!
P.S. I used the search function before starting this thread. 
There’s not one yet as you found. Perhaps the moderator would create one.
Hi there, we don’t currently have a dedicated thread for 3D printed parts, but we’d definitely welcome you (and others) to start one for ongoing discussion. It could be a great place for the community to share ideas and designs!
I think this would be a great way to takle different phone holders for the controller. I have not figured out how to make my own models yet, but would really appreciate if some could adapt the phone holder to hold the Samsung galaxy fold series.
John, You should take a look at FreeCAD. It is a free and open source parametric CAD software. The Youtube channel MangoJelly has a nice tutorial series that speeds the learning curve.
My 2 cents….
I found FreeCAD to be very buggy and difficult to use. After using AutoCAD for many years I switched to OnShape. a few years ago.
If you’re brand new to modeling I would recommend starting out with Tinkercad. This is what I start my nephews and nieces on. They were around 5 when I got them into it.
All but Tinkercad have a pretty big learning curve but once you understand what’s going on you can pick it up pretty quickly.
My two cents 
I forgot to mention that all of the software I listed is available in both free and paid versions.
Tinkercad and OnShape are both cloud based so there is no installation/maintenance required.
also a huge fan of OnShape here, I find it approximately 2000% more intuitive than fusion
I’m fairly newish to FreeCAD. I went the Fusion route but got tired of the yes it’s free, but we’re removing that one feature you use a lot. 
I haven’t ran into any bugs with FreeCAD at this point.
I’ve played with both Tinkercad and OnShape and have no complaints about either of them either.
I guess I’m just not sold on the whole web/cloud approach. As we saw the other day with Yarbo, with a cloud hiccup we can’t even start a job.
That’s a fair point but in my case nothing I do is that critical. What I really like about it is that you don’t have to install anything, they are constantly adding new features (which you don’t have to install) and you can be anywhere, login via a browser and all of your stuff is there. It’s very convenient.
Cloud definitely has its advantages for use cases like you described. But for controlling appliances, vehicles, robots, etc that should all be default local with cloud for a remote OPTION. If I got in my car and couldn’t hit start because there was an internet or cloud outage I would be pissed and late for work with a pretty dumb excuse. I’ve heard stories of some vehicles doing software updates and basically locking users out of being able to use them until it’s done. 100% the wrong approach. I don’t like cloud dependency at all.
That’s how I feel as well. Most stuff should be local but some cloud dependency is fine depending on its use case. As far as CAD software goes the pros far outweigh the cons in my opinion.
I prefer cloud redundancy. Back up there if you HAVE too.
Now that the Mower Pro blades are on the Yarbo store, it would be super cool if someone designed the adapter for the M1 mower. Then we could print in ABS or glass filled Nylon and be off and running.
Personally I design in Alibre, the best 3d package (smile), and print to an old Davinici printer that I’ve hacked into a reliable ABS machine. I am looking at the new Bambu models and losing a lot of drool…

I kind of wonder how the M1 would fare with the mower pro blades having half the power output - possible the motors might overheat?
What most people said was that the M1 could not handle the blades as-is (safely) due to the increased weight. But if someone designed something that weighed the same as the M1 discs, there was at least a chance they would work. But of course if something broke, Yarbo wouldn’t cover such an experiment.
Yeah I suspect that is partly why they increased motor power, the added weight. But also they are advertising higher grass height, so more grass takes more power. So seems like an M1 would need a similar weight blade (use titanium or thinner stainless material) with some lightening techniques applied to the manufacturing, and the user would have to be a little careful about grass length. Maybe the current Pro blades with some holes added and rebalanced?
As far as overheating motors, a proper power design would account for that by a) reducing power to the motor, or worst case b)shutting down to prevent overheating, or both. Maybe even warn the user motor temps are high and so duty cycle might need to be reduced. Any case, it should be manageable, and still have improved cutting provided by the uplift from the improved blade design. I would take the chance of voiding a warranty to test the idea, until trials are done this is all conjecture!

Hi @offgrid thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas!
Currently, the Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro is designed specifically to handle tall and tough grass, with Straight Blades and upgraded motor power for more effective cutting. At this time, we don’t have plans to upgrade the M1’s blade.
That said, we really appreciate your suggestions regarding blade design and motor management — we’ve passed them along to our internal R&D and product teams for consideration. Your feedback helps us continue to improve our products!
