It looks super clean! What material and 3df?

ShutterShock · May 3, 2021, 5:32pm

I might consider printing in ABS and vapor sealing them to increase strength, especially with that layer orientation

tomiboi · May 3, 2021, 5:36pm

This is ABS. I’m 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.

ShutterShock · May 3, 2021, 5:38pm

It’s cool bro, yeah it probably feels strong but those are some high stress areas lol

Oddcomo · May 3, 2021, 5:48pm

Lmao I was thinking about designing something like this for my street board to help me turn tighter… Have you tried it yet? How strong is it??

Plurf · May 3, 2021, 5:58pm

You should give a look at the Yobis thread

I have some free-bord binding that I picked up years ago. People always ask me about them and I don’t think you can currently buy them, so I figured I’d try to design some that could be 3D printed.

This design is fresh off the printer. I haven’t 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 you’re bonding where you want it before you press it together.

Kalitapaws · May 4, 2021, 1:09am

you can buy them, but they aren’t selling the hardware to affix it to the board. which is the plate and some other things.

why did I even bother building my own metal deck. I want one now

BenChieffen · May 5, 2021, 3:35pm

ya those look interesting don’t they. I wonder if they really are recycled from beer cans? any why isn’t anyone else making a metal deck?

ShutterShock · May 5, 2021, 3:49pm

I would assume there aren’t many people making metal decks because of the vibrations you get while riding

I just got one of these but don’t have the wheels yet. The slip that it comes with says they’re made of recycled aluminum and plastics

pmg · May 5, 2021, 3:56pm

Looks good!
Did you put the fg on the bottom end layer?

scrapheap · May 5, 2021, 3:56pm

A few others have been doing it for a while.

threesix downhill [link]
scissorflip [link]
rogers brothers [link]
aluminati boards [link]

These guys are the ones I know of.
I have one from ThreeSix, but I haven’t electrified it yet. I’ll have to try it out eventually, though.

Wouldn’t aluminum be a poor choice for flexible boards? IIRC there’s a definite fatigue limit to aluminum where it will snap, compared to something like steel which will reach a point where repeated flexing wouldn’t degrade it further.

ShutterShock · May 5, 2021, 5:20pm

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to make it flexible.

Plurf · May 5, 2021, 5:38pm

I’m sure i’ve seen someone with a red aluminium deck on his build arround here

Edit : nailed it : Onsra 115mm airless wheel quick review.
That’s a threesix

Fucking rad

JeffyJ · May 5, 2021, 11:08pm

Thanks!. Fg on the bottom for now. Will Fg top too once I’ve installed threaded inserts for enclosure

pmg · May 5, 2021, 11:28pm

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