3D printing kite parts

THIS!!!

Oh man, kite mounts, board mounts, buggy mounts, so many options, mounts for each kite, each camera, lines, sails.... Bob, you just blew my mind!!

I never saw a huge market for those printers, but just on those... That is soooooo cool.

Phanny 15, mid line, tachyon mount lol sign me up!

Print me off a few of those Canadian $100's, too please. I'm close enough to go for a visit!

There are similar technologies that can/will include metals or other, various strengthening composites.
Then there is the possibility of metal/plastic layering to build custom electronics.

The prediction is that there will eventually be less shipping or inventory on some durable or electronic goods.
You'll simply walk into a corner shop or even a kiosk, and order items from an online catalog, selecting from many custom options.
Then you come back later in the afternoon to pick it up after it is sprayed/extruded/dried/cooled for you.

And, of course, it will be a boon to remote space explorers and colonists who can't carry or replace all the stuff they'd need to take with them (say, like on Newt's Moon Base!)

BeamerBob, Drewculus,

What cameras? What mounts? Name em', I'll design and print em'. Though I may ask for some dimensions...I've got a Kodak ZX5 and I've been planning on making some mounts for it soon, so I'll be in the camera mount mood.

@flyguy

My printer is attached, not perfectly finished however. Essentially, the machine is a 3 axis CNC machine, but rather then driving a mill, it drives a glorified hot glue gun that pull in plastic welding wire, and extrude controlled lines. There are a large handful of open source designs, but at the moment, the Prusa Mendel (That is my machine. Everything was sourced locally for me.) is the most popular. The Printrbot shows promise to fit into a >$400 machine. Makerbot Makes a great, ready to roll kit, though more expensive then the Prusa and the Printrbot.

Great stuff for home manufacturing!

built yours....?

First we were impressed by the machine....now we(techno-no knows)...are impressed by you.

*Hmmmnn...I need a nice swivel pair of mounts and plastic backboard that can go on my buggy's rear axle behind seat( for- voile'!-a fold down adj. backrest!)..


.. that's one down. More...?

*Splash guards! Can you make curved sufaces/planes?

*Stake holders ( attach back of seat or along fork?).

* plastic behind the seat lunch box.

*Quad handle joiner piece- to join handle lead ends together and turn handles into temporary bar. ( I saw a video of this).

*"Are we not men" Devo Cone hats....

*Shin guards/spine guards... and like...just add foam after and straps.

*Steering peg pedals-for comfort ..keeps foot flat/distributes pressure.


CAN YOU MAKE ME A MACHINE>>>???:tumble:

More maybe later......:roll:

You and I need to work with guy who made this maybe...:

im thinking a mount for the twister2 5.6m, blade ViP, and phanny 15m

my camera is the tachyon microHD... i might hafta dig out the calipers to get exact measurements for ya....

can you 3d scan objects and add like kite/line mounts, then print?


the attatched pic is the basic tachy mount.... if you can scan/edit/print i'll just send you one and you can mess with it... this is awesome stuff!

could do something as simple as addind some line loops in the mounting hardware... for a general mount, put loops at the top and bottom... and you could just about mount it anywhere
