Tayto Tail Guard

[xsynatic]

yes

[kfred]

I actually have a spare one of these, but something doesn’t sit right with me using a Boosted part on a non-Boosted board

[kfred]

That’s awesome, I unfortunately do not have a 3d printer though

[ProfoundMagician]

Well there dead so what wrong with the pillaging the corpse a little

[xsynatic]

3d printing requests,

So there’s tons of little bits that can be 3D printed and used for building our esk8 builds. But not everyone has access to a printer. This is a place to try and connect to people who do have access that are willing to give thier time/ equipment to help other members out. Its up to both parties how to negotiate, some people print random things for nothing. Some need compensation. Some do it in trade. Ill start off. Hoping to get these both printed.

I use a piece of translucent plastic so that it also acts as a diffuser for a tail light. I also have a layer of hot glue on the actual edge so that it doesn’t slide when it’s leaning against a wall (e.g. in the train or in a pub). Both get worn but the idea is they’re easily replaceable.

[kfred]

Do you have the STL file for this by any chance?

[kfred]

Amazing, do you have more pictues of this build?

[xsynatic]

I can send it to ya later.

[frame]

is it possible to print it in clear? maybe i should “upgrade” my tayto

[xsynatic]

If you find a semi translucent filament? Probably.

then I need to find some company in HK to do it, also shoot me the file please. I will see if anyone in HK is willing to do it in clear

[kfred]

I’ve been looking at the skid plates here. Surely one of these would work? But I am not sure how to measure and estimate.

Skids — decomposed skateboards - freestyle skateboards

It’s just a BKB Tayto with customizations. The tail pick is just screwed onto the tail and the light is just an iwonder skateboard light.

[worldismine772]

thread is making me want a tayto

[xsynatic]

@kfred @frame

Again full disclosure: I have not yet printed it fully nor did i mount it.

Has anyone tested it?

[PedroMcJimenez]

Nah, but I need one, will print up later tonight.
Thanks for the reminder!

[kfred]

Haven’t tested or installed yet but I have one and the measurements are great. I have no reason to suspect any issues.

[PedroMcJimenez]

Profile is good! I would go a little thicker but leave the screws where they are so they’re inset to allow some wear b4 it reaches the screws.
