My initial thoughts were: "Let's do a quick and fun build with this system." Right from that moment I should've known that this wasn't a two week project. Oh well, it works. And although this system needs to be improved further, I think that it's a fun concept which can be turned into a 3D printer ;) Thanks to anyone who suggested to tighten it from the center, this sparked the idea for using the twisted fiber!

2:58 that pause....😂

I am extremely impressed by the quality of the film making here ❤❤❤ wow. Very awesome video man. This is ART!! And you are a true artist

Aramid fibre is said to substantially degrade with UV exposure. While the outer fibres will protect the inner ones to some degree (and the beam structure as well as the stuff around will partially shade the fibre strand), you might still want to consider putting the fibre strand in a sleeve or something.

Your going to need a UV protective clear coat for those indicator covers. The resin will over cure and they will become extremely brittle to the point of crumbling with the slightest bump. A nice gloss finish would also look really nice and make them more transparent if that's a look you'd want.

the brass tube is work hardened. Anneal the brass tubes before bending, you will be AMAZED how much easier it will be.

great stuff . the diamond was my first thought😀😀😀😀😀😀. I wish CAN, 3D printing and some other tools and equipment were available when I was building Trikes nd bikes. I enquired about standard pipes for an old Z750 and they said £650, I said oh not too bad, they then said a side. It didnt stay standard

When I inevitably move to the Netherlands, I want a shed that looks like that. It makes an amazing filming background in addition to being a cool shed to make stuff.

personally when I tried bending brass tubes to make a pop-pop boat, I filled my 4mm (ext diamaterer) whith very thin sand (goes through a .5mm mesh), capped one the ends with desktop tape, put the sand into the tube with a piece of paper rolled into a cone to make a funnel, and capped the other end with tape. The (two) tubes bended really nicely (

I do like how the aesthetics of the tail lights in particular came across. I don't know, but I think the pre-tensioning functionality here might be the most interesting thing about this. Could have applications for, say, 3D printed aircraft. NO, NOT THAT YOU FLY IN---the smaller, more autonomous sort. Some sort of testing of load bearing and deflection/rigidity would be interesting. Suppose you used your pre-tensioned strut to span various distances, and measured things like rigidity vs deflection vs elasticity and vibration dampening vs resonance? Btw, as you have found out first-hand, CF nylon doesn't shrink as much as regular nylon, but it does shrink enough that you sometimes have to oversize your prints to account for it. Love your work!

Nice work, I design and print lots of parts and upgrades like this, Just an FIY on nylon carbon fibre, and similar as this is all I print, dry it at 90° C for at least 8hrs, the longer the better, and print from a dry box that can maintain 85° C, I wont print it until its below 10% humidity, no fan while printing, and use a heated chamber for even stronger prints, also recommend PAHT-CF's for better stiffness, but for eBikes, motorbikes and other fast moving vehicles I use normal PA-CF as it becomes very flexible after it rehydrates, making it very durable for knocks and impacts, also I line all clamps and interfaces with a gasket printed from TPU, excellent for removing vibration, you can vary the infill and pattern to give it more softness, depending on the need.

Jon, always interesting to watch your projects, I know they will have over engineered failures that are corrected and finally you succeed.

Looks great man! I wish there were more people modding bikes with 3d printing. Bikes want to be customized... And 3d printing is a natural fit for that, i think.

I love your style, design your editing you a great inspiration for me ❤️

Great design and Thanks for the tour 😀

Wow that looks so good it makes me also want to make a mount like this for my front blinkers

The only honest channels are the ones where nothing goes to plan. Good job! 👍

looking at the parts laid out like that made me* think that this would be an awesome system for a VR gunstock and/or VR accessories @2:29 could even allow for sliding grips for lets say pump action for example.

Awesome video and awesome motorcycle Jon !

Fantastic job all around, the prints are functional, the videography is fantastic and the end result looks great!!!

Really like the style of the vid! Very good job man!!

Great design and build. You always seem to come up with unique challenging projects! Great soundtrack and beautiful cafe racer!😎

Great video again, pleasure to watch! 🙌

So GREAT to see you BACK!!!!!

Always love your content! Keep em coming!

these profiles looks like a great way to build a desk lamp I dreamt of for sooo long ;) yes please!

Quality stuff yet again man, so impressive! I wish I had such a shed in the Netherlands, I should move again. :)

your Successes and Failures are Inspiring. Keep it up!

Nothing cooler than designing a part for different application and using it elsewhere as well as the use of mixed materials.

Great video and impressive bike, great to see someone do a video where they show mistakes and how they correct them a true example of if at first you don't succeed try again 🤘

2:57 ahhh it was an handle !

What a cool bike, it looks so good on you!

Cool stuff, really looking forward for more content

Really love this project: i'm actually investigating on printing parts for my Suzuki Bandit N ABS: Disc brake lock holder and sadle-bag holder

Was wondering if you would get anything useful from your last video, happy to se that you as usual figured something out👍

Gotta love percussive maintenance, AKA hit it with a hammer. Ha ha. Great job and keep up the great ideas.

I don't know how you do it, but keep on being awesome. You make videos that are stylish (the camera angles, music, backdrops), you cover/explain a wide range of engineering topics, you have pragmatic solutions. The right amount of self criticism, great jokes (Magic Mouse, the 'plug' etc). This channel deserves a spot in to the top of the 3d printing channels. Perhaps you can do a collab to increase your visibility.

Hi John, even if I haven't seen the video yet. Good work! Always enjoying your work.

Nice job I am doing a street legal conversion for my dirtbike right now and have designed and printed the gauge mount and battery holder.

ive gotten some great results tinting clear/transparent resin prints with alcohol based inks, even just ripping the core out of a sharpie marker and squeezing it into some isopro works very well

Cool design, great editing as usual, loved the design meeting scene. Had a feeling those curved sections weren't going to work out too well in the end, but glad to see the problem get solved.

Always enjoyment watching these video's.

Man that patron wall is filling up! Great video as always.

Outdoor office is

Dude, awesome! I SO want a cargo frame backpack made from these beams 😃

Nice projects! I would like to suggest you increase the tolerances for these parts; I'd expect it will help you put all parts together more easily.

Towards the end of this video, I found myself thinking: He's going to build an electric bike that is ENTIRELY 3D PRINTED!!!!!

Been waiting for a new video!

Very cool. I might look as making mods for my ebike

I‘ve been working in the Automotive Industry in the Design-Technic-Convergence-Segment and I can absolutely confirm the habit you presented concerning Deigners, we used to say: An engineer has ha problem when the designer says „I have an Idea“ 🤣

i also 3d printed a part for my gastank packpack to angle it more since i switched bikes last year. I printed it in tpu so it won't crack if there is tension.

Love it. Nice to see you live in the neighbourhood.

Indicators come mounted on flexible stalks. These look kinda cool but practically will break first touch or drop.

This looks awesome and I love your construction. As UV light is the Achilles heel of aramid you might want to put a sheath around it. Although it hurts the aesthetics.

The Mac mouse explanation of design over form. Hilarious. Love your videos.

13:10 in bike frame hydroforming they have 3 or 4 moulds so they don’t do from tube to final shape in one go. as so maybe do 2 or 3 dies to form the brass. I assume your die over bends the rod to account for spring back? On the filling aspect could you make a jig that holds a heated rod then put it in an arbor press. You place your part in mount and drop the rod down to melt the perfect shape into the thermoplastic - might be quicker than filing each one Also when you anneal perhaps you could thread each part onto a ride so that it limits contraction to the rod length axis. And keeps the shaft hole smooth?

17:56 tube cutter tool usage check...passed. as an instrument fitter, that's all I have to contribute.

The world would not turn without the 3D Spacemouse. Love it❤

you should have covered the back of the front blinkers (just a small portion to keep it from shining right in your eyes at night), maybe with some black spraypaint or something.

That tension mechanism is simply genius!

Zo mooi om te zien hoe 3D printen zichzelf op het level van houtbewerking en metaalbewerking heeft gehezen. Met dat trio kan je alles.

12:15 you could have made large molds like for hydraulic press to get exactly the shape you want ... Then again, at that point you need to know % to go over to get the desired shape once pressure/tension on brass is removed... Aww crap, i did the same thing you did :D

Good video and your honest takes are fun. Just like to comment that aramid fibres lose strength with exposure to sunlight and need to be covered or contained in something that prevents sunlight exposure to retain strength. Just saw this has been mentioned previously.

Bahahaha mount a... "diamond" that just broke me 🤣.

Working hours a file insert and the diamond attachment after dark? hahah keep it up! love your videos!

I love how Anycubic is claiming speeds almost 3x faster than Prusa but selling the printer for half a grand instead of two grand. Absolutely insane. Even if the speeds are equivalent... you could literally buy three Photo Mono M5s units and have a print farm while still having a few hundred left over for resin and such. Literally three times the printing speed at that point!! Love it!

What about using a brass H-beam instead of brass tubing? That should increase mechanical resistance to bending. It would need capped end-plates but that shouldn't be an issue with how you are using aramid fibres to hold everything together. I use the h-beams when I design linear actuators for structural integrity and "lower friction"- linear glide rails with (resin-) printed parts.

Love it. The apple sketch was great 😂😅

Eindelijk weer een video. Top video weer.

The curved pipeline assembly (especialy with multi-pipe) need a huge amount of work of precise hammering. It's nice but for people who dont count hours ^^' This frame design become more and more interesting 😁👌

Nice Movie you made out here ;-) Very nice!

13:40 "this meant a lot of filing" - no kidding, those are literal dust piles o_o

3:03 gold!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I love your videos

Echt prachtig gemaakt, proficiat !

The system is very cool. Altho for such a beautiful bike you should just went with the original look for turn signal bulbs :)

Your uploads always make my day!! Just a question, doesn't CF filament obliterate the thin copper insert of the cht nozzles?

Could you share what oven you bought and the temp/time/process you went through to anneal the pa-cf? It's a material and process I've been looking to experiment with myself.

Love the aesthetic! Is filing cf nylon without a mask or clean area safe? Always heard it was really nasty stuff

“If you can’t make it accurate enough, make it adjustable” that should go on a tile / Dat moet op een tegeltje 😎 #tegeltjeswijsheid

Amazing work. Did you had an idea on how to pretension correctly the curved part?

Does the fibre remain attached, or is it removed after the tightening process?

6:52 een waterpomptang kan je voor alles gebruiken.

chainsaw file, butt plug combo. ingenious!!! youve done it again!

Nice bike . I make cafe racer my old suzuki ts100n 100cc 2stroke.

The curve where beautifull, but without a pipe bender, you where definitely shooting yourself in the foot.

I'm tired... Just from watching 😅😂 Ended up a very cool project. 😉

Nice and fun as usual ! why not use nylon resin ?

Ohhhhh, please do the bike wheels too!

Man, this reminds me of designing flushmount turn signals for my SV1000S. I thought it would be cool but at the end I was just extremely done thinking about that one small aspect of the bike. So many test prints. These days I usually have a couple project bikes in the garage, it seems. How resilient is this rail system to impact damage? Asking for a friend :D

I think the indicators could have been better with amber LEDs and clear resin prints. My motorbike has LED indicators with clear housing, so it certainly can be done.

That Nylon CF Tensile is 130 MPA. That is insane. Peek's Tensile is 130 MPA... Peek CF is 200 MPA

Somehow i didn’t get notified. Glad I looked specifically for a new PP Video.

Hilarious at 02:55,ehhhhm you can put a diamond here....or a 4 mm file. :) :) :) :) :) :)

I sure wish I had an old shed.

Man o man volgende keer eerst blowtje voordat je begint te designen of was dat misschien het probleem :P je bent weer lekker bezig geweest en erg inventief hoe je het boren voor binnendraad hebt aangepakt. Kijk af en toe maar met veel plezier naar je leipe zaken / uitvindingen.

I'm impressed is all I can say.

Kevlar without protection is quite problematic if exposed to sunlight. It will loose its strength. 6:30

The Apple design meeting ignoring the charging port on the magic mouse was entertaining, I'm sure all of us engineers got flashbacks of their sales team overlooking the extra work engineering will put into it.

Is this new system lighter than the old one with the rods?
