What I would do with the handle bars is to take the gray pieces that connect them to the vertical bars and put them on upside down. As they are mounted right now leaning on them causes them to flex and potentially break. Flipping them however allows the grey disk spacers to prevent the parts from flexing, potentially making them a little bit sturdier.

Darn I really want an optical analysis of that 3d print as a real lens, could make many projects that are very tricky to find a suitable lens for easy if its a good as it looked on camera. Not to mention as an alterntive to having to source a good enough version of your old classic car/bike's lightbulb lens/covers to fill and polish then cast new ones. Worth the effort of casting no doubt if you have a few buddies with the same problem, but still if the 3d printer can actually just do it.

For the front light, a 1x1 stud in the centre of the 2x2 round plate, clicked into the 2x1 brick with hole might look better, and be "legal", if that's a look you're worried about. It is legal to stick a stud in a technic hole. But only one stud, not two. 👍

This is awesome and I love the creativity. That said there was a small bit around 8:30 that made me take pause. You mention that the m10 bolt adds strength to the handle bar but I had a realization related to my having tried similar at a smaller scale before. Does it really add strength if the plastic cannot handle deforming to a point past the bolt? To put it another way, if the plastic delaminates before it reaches contact with the bolt, has the bolt really added strength or is it just there as a backup not directly contributing during the initial stress and breakage. In essence I think the solution if this is even a problem worth worrying about is getting the plastic tighter around any metal components and or using plastics with more compliance before failiure like nylon or high durometer TPU.

@MattDenton

19 күн бұрын

Well.. yes and no. The bolt only ads strength to the part it is connected through, eg the black grip and the end of the grey buckle, but beyond that to the forks then it’s game over. So I should have been clearer on what I was trying to address. 🙂
