Pannier Mount
Karrimor Pannier Redesign A lightweight, strong and minimalist bike bag mount is difficult to come by. Please send innovative ideas my way. I received an inquiry about reproducing, via 3d printing, a pannier mount from a vintage Karrimor brand bag. When I received the photos of the original design, I instantly thought that there must… Continue reading Pannier Mount
Gripper
Topology-optimized, additively manufacturable robotic end effector for increased productivity Using computer aided design, topology optimization, finite element analysis and additive manufacturing, we will have an end effector design with a reduction of mass and part count over the original design. This should result in increased reliability due to the lower part count and ease of… Continue reading Gripper
Retro Shifter
Rapid prototyping Upcycle a useable design The retro Suntour shifter works very well for the stock gear-set but now it’s time for an upgrade. The original shifter works, however the gear range has grown. This means the drum no longer has enough length around the cable-pull circumference. CAD and additive to the rescue An hour… Continue reading Retro Shifter
Bottle opener
Topology optimized – 3d printed bottle opener The challenge of this task is to create a bottle opener that can be printed using PLA and function nominally. The goal is to use this task to become more familiar with FEA (Finite Element Analysis), Topology optimization and the design process for polymer additive manufacturing. The result… Continue reading Bottle opener
1896
Kutter-Jolle, Albert Anderson This small-boat design by Albert Anderson will be my first full size boat printed using FFF (fused filament fabrication). The design has been modeled from the original drawings into Autodesk Fusion 360. A prototype has been designed and sliced to use minimum support and printed at 8 percent scale to show the… Continue reading 1896
Ender3 filament guide bearing
The Creality Ender 3 has an issue with filament chafe. With the filament lead coming down from above the machine there is a sharp corner at the extruder that chafes away at the filament. Designed to slide over the existing Z screw nut, the gentle curve of this large radius bearing is one solution to… Continue reading Ender3 filament guide bearing
Salve Flask – Stand and funnel
The stand is modeled to fit a previously existing Flask by a Swedish brand called Low Key Goods. This flask does not have a base, therefore cannot stand on its own. Flask body is modeled using the Form workspace in Fusion 360. The stand is in two pieces which allows for 3D printing without support.… Continue reading Salve Flask – Stand and funnel
