You can also print so Evolution headset spacers etc out
My granny spacers and plastic Allen bolts are still working well, and I'm only using PLA and nothing erm more suitable.
Tubes are nice and easy.
Cheers FC. This is the 1st 3D printed part I've have done in ages! As you say, tubes are nice and easy! ....10 years ago I did a batch of magura line guides for my RC100. If I could find the file...I'd have some more done.
Hi Boy! Dont forget to cut the rings. You will not be able to re-assemble all the parts and get all of it back in the stanchions if theyre still a full tube/circle. Good Luck mate.
Cheers fguki!
Yeah...looking at the disassembly diagrams, it doesn't show this.....but when you re-assemble it becomes clear why you need the cut in the ring.
I think my outer size is slightly off...mainly due to guessing the size rather than having the actual part to measure...so I'm going to run another batch.
Which brings me onto....
Couldn't work out when I was re-assembling why the bolt that goes through the slider and holds the spring assembly wouldn't attach to the fork leg?
Had a torch down the stantion and could see what I thought was it's locator. Probing in with a kebab skewer- turns out they were the washers that separated the original elastomers! ....and underneath was the gunky remnants of what was left. My initial thoughts that I'd got lucky and these had already been cleaned out were wrong!
On the plus side....also buried in the elastomer gunk were the 2 original bushes!
So I've now got something to measure the correct size when I get some more 3D printed ones done.
Modified kebab skewer hooking tool!
Proper 'split' bushes found inside elastomer remains
True bush external size. Back to the drawing board for the 3D printing
ooo, might need a set of those, though not sure which model i have off the top of my head, and have not had them apart yet so it all may be fine in there anyway
No problems Mark. Let me get them redone in the correct size though.
Cheers.
