what a clever son and a 3d printer can do.
« on: December 18, 2016, 09:47:20 AM »
My son printed an abs bracket for my gear position indicator and a bracket for the controller on my Oxford heated grips on our 3d printer. The controller bracket is particularly smick and looks way better than the scungy metal one it comes with.
Thanks Matt.

He could go into business, turning out gear of that quality.  I presume once the first one is made, it's just a matter of "repeat, again".

I couldn't figure out "ABS", until I realised it's (C8H8)x​(C4H6)y​(C3H3N)z

that is, a plastic: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
