yeah I went through everything on that bike. I tore it down pretty far. They are very easy bikes to work on. I really regret selling mine.

@@NChirikos well I sold mine around then. You didn’t buy this one did you? Haha. I always put mine on the center stand.

@@theharleymechanic I would sell if you are interested

@@onebadmac well unfortunately I didn’t film this one. The next one though I will.

@@onebadmac yeah for real.

@@emmmaritchie3532 we had all the whomping willows removed from our property prior to finishing the car.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

That is awesome! That is the reason we documented this process is to give people motivation!

Haha fair enough.

Yeah epoxy is a great option but with PLA super glue work just fine. You could use a solvent based glue on say ABS and have a very strong bond.

@@koideaththanks. I have just completed mine and I found the superglue didn’t give me enough working time (it’s summer here in Australia and very hot!). I found epoxy gave me a little more time to get the parts together straight. Also, there was a few gaps between some of the parts and epoxy fills the gaps well. A couple of problems I ran into is that not all the holes printed and I didn’t realise till I had it all together, so sorting that problem was interesting, lol. Also, I have a different bridge that mounts with 4 screws under the saddles. I didn’t think that would be a problem but when I screwed them in, I realised these very little for them to screw into. I ended up making an aluminium plate to go on the back with nutserts in it and I bolted right through the body into the plate, effectively clamping the bridge down. It seems to work great so far. I’ll be stringing it up and testing it tomorrow :)

Well this one is available for sale!

Thanks!

why is the original instrument cluster "useless"? Are they unreliable?

It is!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to build! I’m itching to build another with high end parts

That’s an awesome story! Thanks for sharing!

I actually did .3 and did a 20% gyroid infill on non-critical parts and about a 40% infill on load bearing parts.

@@koideath Thank you!! Definitely have to try gyroid on the less critical parts. Did you use Cubic for the critical parts?

@@tchafa I actually used gyroid on everything.

You are absolutely right. Ideally a higher temp filament would be better. Next one I am doing is going to be out of carbon fiber infused PETG. But with that said the one in video is still holding strong with no deformation. Granted I haven’t had it outside in direct sunlight it’s just been in my house.

@@koideath Thanks for the fast answer! I'm currently in the process of designing my own model on Fusion 360 =)
