The Bike Shop / 3D printed titanium parts

« on: September 19, 2012, 11:26:17 AM »

There is an advantage when it comes to "Impossible" parts, which would refer to designs within a part such as the honeycomb you see in the top pictures. The problem becomes like what G had said, the properties of forging to printing are totally different. Yes, you can make some pretty strong stuff from the 3D titanium printer. It holds up for cyclocross but I don't think it'll hold up to BMX or industrial use. Not yet anyways since the technology is still very very new. Super cool and awesome but new.

*I'll go halvsies on a Ti printer with you G* we can rule the BMX world with a titanium fist!

The most I got to work with were paper 3d printers and resin printers. Pretty cool stuff but only good for prototyping. I'd love to get my hands on one of those.

Thanks to a debilitating cough, I've polished up the bike today and that's all I've been able to do to it for the past 3 weeks. FML. (yes, first world problems)

Good o'l sherline.

I'm running a Craftex micro mill which is about double the size of the sherline. If I were in the states I wouldn't hesitate to order something from Grizzly imports. They've got some nice stuff.

Cheap Gerber - Daily carry, cost around $10, but is worth its weight in gold.  Anyone that doesn't carry a knife would be amazed at how often one would come in handy, whether you have a hangnail, need to open a box, need to dig a metal chip out of your boot, etc.  I use it a ton.

I have the exact same one, grip and everything from at least 14 years ago. It's helped me like no other tool I've ever had.

Awesome stuff! Congratulations! (Sounds like most people are just getting pregnant in the winter...probably nothing to do but fuck like rabbits)
