Your Bindings – YoBis
As in: Made myself a pair of YoBis yesterday, they are the bomb!
(These are foot hookers on the other forum and I’m not a fan)
Our Russian speaking friends might not resonate with this name (can be changed later)
I’m continuing this one here
Just because we switched forums and there isn’t a thread about this here.
TLDR for people joining us just now.
This thread initiated community based bindings design instead of freebord (who don’t like esk8 diy)
After numerous contributions we have a working design.
The files are on thingiverse and you are welcome to make your own.
Now, the base plates were the only part that is custom made and not 3d printed, and it may impede people from trying these.
To make it more affordable I ordered a bunch of them, 40 to be precise, for people who want to try this out but don’t want to pay manufacturing price for 2 pieces.
I’m offering these for 30$ for 2 plates + shipping.
I can add other parts, just let me know.
This is kind of “short kit” version, you’ll need to work on these (drilling and tapping) – basic stuff for this community. I’ll put a short how-to on Friday.
Yes please, a set for me, with the extrusions and the hardware (if you have it) please.
I read through the original thread, awesome community progression, then you dropped the bomb Thanks for going through the trouble to get some plates made.
As promised, here’s a little how-to: what to do with the plates and general assembly.
Here I’m using imperial numbering. For metric use M3 instead of #4-40 and M6 instead of 1/4-20, otherwise the process is the same
So, we have 2 plates, 2 8020 profiles, 2 1/4-20 countersunk bolts and 4 4-40 bolts.
I was using the 3d printed cap from @mmaner. To secure it I tapped the other side of the profiles and used plastic 1/4-20 bolts. Way overkill of course, but clean.
Generally, by tapping the other side of the profiles you create a very sturdy mount for anything, like cameras and stuff.
That white actually looks pretty nice. I’ve really been wanting to support your project, but have been short on time to source all of the components, so this kit sounds perfect. Thanks for your hard work on these. I’ll send you a PM.
@dani if you would care to sell me a pair of plates, I’d be more than happy to take a punt on a small jiffy envelope reaching me at my risk. I had everything else made before heading on holiday
