Is here anyone else, who prints parts for motos?

 

I have modeled and printed a rear pocket protector and a frontbrake hose guide for gg.

Now I'm modeling protectors for links.

 

Printed with TPU, and those are eternals, you can't get it broke...

How nice to see somebody else interested in engineering and trials bikes.   I am retired now so my only words of wisdom (ha ha) would be to look for manufacturing process and material benifits which  allow you to design parts which otherwise would be too expensive to make for sale;....the benifits of functionality are nearly always outweighed by the profit margin of the supply chain and your cost of sales....whilst thinking of commercial angle it is difficult to develop a idea or product without sharing it and if you share there is always somebody out there better equipped and ready to develop it to a market with or without you.  I found 3d printing brilliant for prototype work as it is relatively cheap way of having a tangible item to proove many areas of your design work .I guess with plastic materials constantly improving very small batch production could be a way foreward.  good luck and just keep on with your ideas.

There are some companies that do 3D printing for you, one that does really good work, I can recommend and can do prints in all kind of materials is:

They do prints in all kind of metals, (even gold and titanium), but these are very limited to the size, see here for ther printing possibilities:

Price is very depending to the material and form, the cheapest material and easy print starts at 0,55€/cm³.

Has anyone printed a kickstand foot extender for Gasgas trials bikes? There are options for every other motorcycle in the world but not for Gasgas trials bikes. At least I can’t find one.
