3d chain slider

Post by plasmid »

Anyone with some 3d skills?

Maybe 3d print some chain sliders http://www.stein-dinse.biz/Complete-par ... :2494.html

I've got two friends who do that. All I need are CAD's and I could get a quote.

If you are going to get some made there are at least 2 different ones. The one on the top is a new spare part bought a few years ago and the other is of an older p750. the differences are the extra lug near the pivot end and the "nose" of the new one has been flattened off where it goes round the front of the swing arm , and the brass nut is not fully moulded into the new guide :)

Was referring to the small one that fits on the center stand - http://www.stein-dinse.biz/Complete-par ... :2494.html

The big one would probably be $100+ to print via shapeways.

Personally, only know one person that could maybe make the 3d model - waiting on confirmation.

I'm also talking to someone about making these so we'll compare notes.

Do you have a CAD model already?

No point in duplicating if you already do.

Ah ! you got me there , mine never had a centre stand ( till I made one .... really for workshop purposes only) , But I did make one for the frame out of a bit of nylon ( actually a bit of Dianne's kitchen cutting board......chopped right out of the middle too, just to be sure she would notice and praise my resourcefulness...... didn't work :lol: )

Not yet he's prepeared to scan it to create the model though so that's easy. He does some work with local universiies so trying to see if he can get mold costs covered as part of a student project etc.

Money first, CAD later!

Hm, ask him to submit the model to shapeways and then anyone can get it made pronto.

True, we can get it printed in quite a few places. We could also get one carved out of dried sheep poo, chiselled from granite or cnc from billet. All of which will be the same amount of use unless the material is right for the application. Materials for 3d printing aren't exactly main stream and the sort of nylon delrin mix that a chain slider should be is really quite difficult to print.

The guy I'm talking to runs an automotive component manufacturer. Some of the components he makes are chain sliders so he already has material specs to use from some other manufacturers. He's also planning to expolore 3d with this but is not hopefully for getting a long lasting product with standard techniques. This may not be a quick solution but it could be an enduring one if it works out right.

Alright. Sounds good.
