Title: Kid in a sweet shop
Post by: oldschoolace on January 04, 2012, 10:45 PM
Have been given access to a shedload of cool machinery including a cnc miller, waterjet cutter, laser cutter and a 3d rapid prototyper type thing.  :D  :D  :D Racking my brain as to what bmx stuff i can make but i'm like a kid in a sweet shop and my mind is blank.

Thought about some pierced motomag keyrings as i have always loved em but i need to think bigger, any ideas guys?

Ha its funny that. The waterjet machine can go through 3 inches of steel and i was just thinking about my own seatclamp, should be pretty easy i would have thought. Not sure i want to get into the whole repro thing though  :daumenhoch:

Incidentally the 3d printer can do 3 or 4 types of plastic, glass, aluminium, steel and silver and gold :D

Would love to but i'm a timber man most of the time, started using the cnc for complex contours etc and have now been offered access to a world of mans playthings  :smitten:

I do have a design for a killer frame i did last year in 3d studio max though  ;)

Do you think you could make me a 24 inch cruiser frame and forks from 2 donor 20 inch frame and forks of the same type?

Not unless they are made of Oak  ;D

Seriously, i doubt it would be worth the effort, even if you were a competent welder

Frame savers, where the axle sits and washers where the front  wheel sits to make a more secure fit so they dont drop out. Pegs, gizmo for gyro upper cables(use your own cable thing) ad990 brake adaptor for bikes with no bosses, just a few ideas.

I was thinking of 990 adaptors with the fella over in the wanted section looking for one. They would be a doddle to do on the water jet but im not sure how much call there is for em
