This is ABS. Iām actually really surprised by how sturdy it feels. This one is a prototype that I printed to check the fit. I just finished designing it.

Itās cool bro, yeah it probably feels strong but those are some high stress areas lol
Lmao I was thinking about designing something like this for my street board to help me turn tighterā¦ Have you tried it yet? How strong is it??

I have some free-bord binding that I picked up years ago. People always ask me about them and I donāt think you can currently buy them, so I figured Iād try to design some that could be 3D printed.
This design is fresh off the printer. I havenāt tried them out yet and the weather is shit today. Hopefully, sometime this week. They do feel super strong.

I can vouch for this, I witnessed it in action myself. Instant bond so make sure you have whatever youāre bonding where you want it before you press it together.

you can buy them, but they arenāt selling the hardware to affix it to the board. which is the plate and some other things.

ya those look interesting donāt they. I wonder if they really are recycled from beer cans? any why isnāt anyone else making a metal deck?

I would assume there arenāt many people making metal decks because of the vibrations you get while riding
I just got one of these but donāt have the wheels yet. The slip that it comes with says theyāre made of recycled aluminum and plastics

Looks good!
Did you put the fg on the bottom end layer?
A few others have been doing it for a while.

rogers brothers [link]
aluminati boards [link]
These guys are the ones I know of.
I have one from ThreeSix, but I havenāt electrified it yet. Iāll have to try it out eventually, though.

Wouldnāt aluminum be a poor choice for flexible boards? IIRC thereās a definite fatigue limit to aluminum where it will snap, compared to something like steel which will reach a point where repeated flexing wouldnāt degrade it further.

Yeah, you wouldnāt want to make it flexible.

Amazing how it looks invisible on the second picture, well done mate.

Ah yes, I must admit thatās my bad uploading pics out of order. It can look invisible if using clear epoxy as Iāve done another deck like that. This one however will get a few more thin coats and be black.
