I have been missing the concave on that board so I thought I should try one of those add on solutions and see what happens.
I printed some of these pads. I was out of PETG so I figured I would try PLA and see what happens. Since they are thin, they are flexible enough so mission accomplished.
Since these would be used on a MTB with bindings I did a few modifications.
Yes I am lazy and have too many tools. Grinding them down was a lot faster than designing them again. Did you know that PLA smells like coffee on the belt grinder?
I did not want to epoxy them on the deck so I figured I would use 3M VHB tape. This thing is strong enough to do the job and I required can be taken off without leaving a mess.
Doesn’t look bad.
Did a very short test and I really, really like it. All the advantages without any of the disadvantages (reduced flex etc).
We will see how it goes long term but so far it looks very promising.
