From different printers to different set ups to different firmware's to different slicers to different slicer settings to different filaments etc. etc. The world of 3d printing is so deep and vast it's insane. And quality 3d printers are as cheap as $200 now and a 1kg spool of PLA filament is only 20 - 30 bucks which last a long time. so it's a hobby that the majority of people can get into now. it's absolutely insane. possibilities are endless.

9:32 there are plastics like ASA and other carbon fiber reinforced plastics that are 80 percent as durable as injection molded parts. also there is a setting in most slicing software's that control how much infill there is. if you make a part that is 75 to 85 percent infill and make it out of asa or other strong plastics it will last a long time. also ASA is oil,uv and temperature resistant. while i agree that it is not 100 percent as stong, i think it is about 80 percent as strong as injection molded parts. as long as you dont hit it with a hammer really hard you will be fine.

[@ASuperBambi]

Bigger concern with the bottle holder is heat depending on filament they used. Abs or asa would be a good baseline, though pa12 or pccf would be great. Pla or Petg will just deform in hot weather.

[@breckinslife]

You are correct. I had one of the early prototype designs warp once. Bed of truck, bike on side, leaning on the bottle cage, about an hour in direct sunlight and 100F... if warped enough it was trash. However, the final design like in the video I've had on my hard tail for over a year now, in pla, and it's still perfect. I'm sure someone like nalgene could produce an indestructible one though.

[@ninjaride1312]

Hey seth. As a former 3d printer it is very important that the filament choice is good. PLA is begginer friendly but not so sturdy. PETG has great durability, but its harder to print but for example the chin mount is very beatiful printed and I am sure that is from a good material. And hear me out if you want a 3d printer get a ender 3 pro and add a bltouch too. Trust me a 3d printer is a LOT and I mean A LOT of work but it is worth it you are going to love it.

[@sexyfacenation]

Really should just buy a good printer out the box and just print. Not fix/ improve/ work around the printer

[@ninjaride1312]

@@sexyfacenation eh not so true... even a good printer needs to have its settings dialed for it to print good and periodic things will still need to be done for ex: nozzle change. On a ender 3 pro you can see if you like the hobby then upgrade if you want otherwise its a very capabable printer.

[@EspenShampoo25]

Your concerns about the durability is valid. As a 3d printer owner for 5 years now who has sold various 3d printed objects you have to know what material the object is made from. PLA is the most used filament material but I would definately not buy anything on my bike made from it. PLA is brittle, will deform in temperatures above 50-60 degrees Celsius and shouldn't be used fir load bearing applications. I have some 3d printed solutions on my own bike made PET-G that definately has stood the test of time. Quadlock phone holders, u-lock holder (reinforced with a steel plate inside), tool holders and so on. There are also other stronger filaments out there: Nylon, carbon fiber and numerous blends. Basically what I'm trying to say is 3d printing is not just 3d printing and just because someone has bought a brittle 3d printed part that doesn't mean 3d printing can't be used to make strong robust parts.

[@chadmyles-theclevelandcyclist]

The bottle cage is right up my alley since I don't use standard size water bottles on my bikes. I have found few products on the market that accommodates the larger water bottles. Surprisingly, the Salsa Nickless Cage can hold up to a 36oz water bottle but they're never consistently in stock. I see 3D printed products is filling the void the bike industry is failing to fill.

[@jimmystephenson5675]

3d prints are really great, just make sure you seal them before heading out to the sunshine and weather to make them last!

[@kyleo1236]

Some materials like ASA and PETG are UV resistant. PLA is actually uv resistant as well but because of its lower melting temp I wouldn't use it for bike parts if there's a chance of a bike being stored in a hot location.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

What do you suggest? Varnish? Clear enamel?

[@jimmystephenson5675]

@@DinnerForkTongue like KYLE O was saying some filament you use can be UV resistant however ones like PLA or ABS are not water resistant... you can change how you print(larger layers,etc) or choose PETG, Polypropylene (PP) ,GF30-PP (Polypropylene with glass fibers) that are water resistant. You can use Epoxy resin to seal the gaps created in the layers...i've even heard of silicone sprays being used. ABS can be sealed with acetone vapors. Good luck!

Seth, I’d love to blow your mind with 3D printed parts that defy your current conception of what this tech can do. Your current understanding is fair when based on bottom rung consumer printer technology. But I work with industrial printers. Which although more expensive, with the right business case can actually be quite affordable. If I told you to buy a $20K printer you’d laugh. But if you’re making a product and don’t want something that looks and feels like a consumer print - but want the design flexibility additive manufacturing offers, there are several solutions available.

I've had 3D printed parts i designed on my bike for well over 5 years, yet to fail. Bottle holder, phone and flashlight mounts. Secret time.. Cant use cooling on your prints, preferably heated (passively works too). Apparently you get the same results of you anneal the parts, but that also warps them. What happens is that every time you add a layer it's warmer than the previous layer and causes layer tension, pulling in on itself. This makes the print brittle. The tension is heavily reduced if you don't use any cooling and print in even a passively heated printer. And of course annealing also does the same, but will "relax" the print causing it to change dimensions (size).

[@meikgeik]

Prusa i3 MK3S+ is about as user friendly of a 3d printer as they come. The prusa slicer is great, and the printables website they are building is also great. I have intermediate 3d modelling skills, but I rarely ever have to use them anymore, because whatever silly wall mount or tool I want to make is 90% likely to already exist on printables or thingiverse. If you get the non-kit version of a Prusa i3, you can be up and running within an hour, and printing random bike parts off the internet. Just stick with filament from known good US manufacturers, or Prusa themself, and you'll be golden. I have a small print farm with 18 FDM printers, 2 resin prints, and a laser cutter, and while I only own one Prusa, it's what I'd recommend to anyone like you who doesn't want to delve into a whole new hobby, but just wants to print bits from the internet. I've printed a few things for my wife's road bike already. If I had to put a monetary value on just how much my 3d printers have saved me over the years, it would be in the thousands. Obviously, I have the know how to design my own parts, but even if you subtract out the ones I designed, I think it's definitely worth it if you have the patience.

[@joenagel6644]

Another note about 3D printed parts: for the most part they are strong along the layers and weaker between the layers. If you use the correct type of filament prints can be pretty strong. They are not as strong as an injection molded part because of the layers, which is expected. For example, the bottle holder you showed needs to be strong in the horizontal and not as much in the vertical direction.

I design 3d printed bike parts for personal use. I use PLA, and I over engineer the weak parts so they hold up. I created a Brompton flashlight mount that bolts on where the carrier block goes and it's been holding up for years. (Basically a mini handlebar that you can mount accessories to near the fork.) Also very important is understanding where the shear forces will be and making the layers perpendicular to them. 3d printing for bike parts isn't ideal, but if you have an idea for a very specific accessory that will make your life easier then it's a good tool to have.

Cold temps aren't going to be your problem. Heat is. Ambient heat out on a ride won't matter much, but if you leave something that's printed in PLA in a car on a hot summer day, it will deform. It won't melt into a puddle or anything, but it will definitely be damaged. PLA is the most common type of 3D printer filament, but it does have that one major drawback. If you're going to get something 3D printed for a bike, and you envision ever having to leave it out in a hot car, make sure it's printed out of ABS or PETG. I 3D printed some mounts for a bluetooth speaker to go on the top tube of my road bike, and they've held up well. I wind up printing new ones every 2-3 years, when the old ones finally give out.
