Too bad. I just printed my first test parts for a bike project yesterday.
I'm trying to make a 'frame' attachment for my top tube.
Not sure what I'll attach to it. Some sort of home grown bento or other storage....with a Garmin mount?'
Maybe interchangeable storage. One for short ride. One for long ride?
I tried to use some cheap photogrammetry to get the dimensions. That failed miserably being that I was just using my phone.
So I tried a contour gauge, and then 'traced' the profile onto a sheet of paper. Then used some splines in The Gimp to create a live trace...that I could import and then recreate sketching some splines in my CAD software. I got one dimension close enough that a tweak or two would be good. The other part needs a little more work.
I'm about as hooked on 3d printing as I am tri.
And, actually...I think there's a small cottage industry there. |
