Leather Wrap your 3D Prints | Custom Bicycle Handlebar Grips
When shopping for new handle bar grips for my bike, I realized I could easily make them instead! Also, I could probably make a nicer set than anything I could afford…
Armed with a free iPhone scanner app (Kiri Engine), I digitized the old handle and made a few changes before printing a set on my new V400 3D Delta Bot Printer provided to me by FLSUN.
Most all grips I have used eventually break down. Coating your hands with slimy rubber compounds. I knew I wanted to upgrade my human | machine interface to a nice leather wrapped, ergonomic design that would be fairly easy to reproduce if I needed another set.
You can print your own grips, too!

The Tool Everyone Needs in Their Shop | Gravity Clamps

In this video, I am making more of my Gravity Clamps. This is a tool that most people overlook when setting up their shop. Standard clamps are great, but can only reach so far into the work being laminated, for example. I also needed to make a variety of sizes for the weights and came up with a easier to move solution for a handle on the largest weight. When I did the original video almost a 8 ...

Ball Jar Light | Cast Aluminum from a 3D Print

It seemed like a fun idea to cast a custom light fixture out of aluminum and use a canning jar for the glass. Everyday items can be taken for granted until we try to figure how they made.

      For this project a tub window was a must! Conversation went back and forth with shower or tub. Either side was a good view of the ocean with access to closet and dressing area being closer to the internal courtyard. Ultimately, it ends up being slightly better where it is for flow of the room along the windows and allowing the bedroom to have a side vs bed being in the middle of circulation. This is about as small as you can get!

    There are a lot of metal casting videos as of late on UA-cam. This video is among the best based on a large sampling. Many people wish to make videos and appear as knowledgeable and they often give inferior and flawed instructions that will result in a lot of wasted effort and potential for long term flawed and erroneous methodology. This is a great video for 'small scale lost plastic 3D printed model metal casting' and offers good instructions and sound methodology.

    • @Grunblau
      @Grunblau Місяць тому

      Thanks! Two bearings limit the play that a single set would have. If you cut a section through the shaft you would see four bearings in the section rather than two. The further these bearings are apart, the more resistance to rotation there will be. -|:|- vs -|:|-|:|-

    • @Grunblau
      @Grunblau Місяць тому

      I don’t generally entertain commissions… I get a lot of requests and they rarely go anywhere after I quote the work involved. The best I can offer is putting up enough info for people to pursue their own projects. There are a lot of ways to approach the part you reference that might include investment casting. Most likely it would be best to ask a machine shop that would produce it from billet aluminum and use steel inserts for what look like vacuum ports (not in my wheelhouse). Hope this helps!

      Make sure the bottom of the pond is level and adjust from there if it isn’t with sheets of pond liner. Then after placing the base, check the rim as best you can with an 8’ level. Install the bowl and check again. Could ultimately shim bowl too worst case…. Got pretty lucky in this case that the pond contractor had made the bottom of the pond extremely level!

    Aluminium is my favourite metal, aluminium 7075 is allegedly stronger than most types of steel alloys. It's usually in the airspace industry. I think cars should be made from aluminium or stainless steel because it won't rush, not even in salt water or after several decades.

    Forgive me for my ignorance; but I have a question. While your end product does look amazing, are you sure you aren't just doing double the work with refining the 3D print? I'm new to casting but am experienced in 3D printing. Are you sure the post processing of the print is really worth it? It doesn't seem to me the initial cast really showcases the processing you did on the 3D print. Or are you just very particular in your work?
