richywrecka Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 That looks the dogs B*****s, its a good idea to trick up bikes with the personal touch and easier to trace if it gets nicked, could you do them with postcodes on as well? I'll order 2 when you've got it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregd Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Dave, that is the "Mutz Nutz", i want one!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkp Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Dave - did you create the cover as a solid model in a CAD system and then output a stereo lithography part? What solid modeler are you using? What's next? Create an investment casting and CNC the net part? Details man! DETAILS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I drew it all myself using Solid Edge V15, then pressed print !!!! It was printed using a dimension BST 3D Printer. http://www.dimensionprinting.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 So what are the plans for a sprocket guard. I see you have a spot to mount it, are you gonna make a sprocket guard spperately, I suppose it would be good to be able to whip off to get any crud out. Looks very impressive though, if you start making them alot of people will want to buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) That is brilliant. I work with technology every day, but that is unbelievable. License to print money if you pardon the pun. Don't suppose you can print me one of these off. She's only small. Edited March 3, 2005 by bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 She's not bad for an old bird. Sorry didn't mean to hijack the topic Dave, just can't resist a quip. My response was because I was amazed how easy it seemed. How long does it take you to knock drawings up? What's the cost for actually producing something like that? The drawings look like they'd probably take me a year to produce for starters. Looks damned good - personalised plastics - you'll make a mint.

neonsurge Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I so want one of those Dimension printers... but $32,000? Kinda rich for a desktop toy at home...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger_ninja54 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Someone got too much time on their hands at work??!! How strong is this 'printed' plastic? I'm a toolmaker, i saw one of these printers at an exhibition at the NEC. bloody clever! was 'printing' a city map, with all buildings and contours on it, v.impressive! back to above.... i'd guess this'd have to be milled from an ally or plastic billet wouldn't it? how strong do the layers of plastic bond together? would it stand up to water, etc? (in no way knockin it - mega-impressed! just askin'!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 From bits and bobs that ive already made on the printer i am hoping it should be as strong or even stranger than the standard one. I should get round to making the final one during next week, so next weekend it will be properly put to the test, and i will let you know how it goes.
