Doing the fork seals on the Sporty and instead of using a piece of PVC tube I can simply download and print me a tool!  Great thing here is that I also need a 35mm driver so printed one at the same time!  within an hour I have both tools on the workbeach ready to go - bloody marvelous. (and a throttle lock screw and friction thingy)

happy to help folks out if they find something that they would like printed.

I’m a total noob so after a chitload of research I decided that Bambu Labs was the best machines for those that simpley want to print vs. Those that want to fuck around tweaking the actual printer itself. 

I ended up with a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon with and AMS.  (Circa $1800) and it’s so easy to use that even I can print things.

Tell me: how strong are these printed parts?

And what can you print them out of?

Cheers, Will

remember not to download or print anything that looks like a gun. You'll have a lot  of black wagons with lots of aerials parked outside. 

I am a bit sceptical if it could make the throttle lock wedge and expect it to work properly. 

I dismantled the same cruise control / throttle lock thing when I first bought my  bike and the wedge slipper thing was missing so I have never worried about it.

I am assuming these 3 D printers only manufacture plastic components, what sort of finish do you get when it comes off the printer?

Would it be good enough for the throttle lock wedge to work properly?

And the most important question is would you trust a piece of plastic that you have just printed ?
