Have you noticed an improvement? What is it printed from?

Well done for taking this up but we would need more details before we can even think of putting a price on something. Its probably better if you and your friend decide the price based on your costs etc. No point in us just throwing out random numbers.

Keep us informed as to how you testing goes.

Cheers Frank

it definitely makes a difference, nits not night and day but definitely feels like more immediacy to the bite

which i guess is what i was hoping for.

I'll ask him what he used, not much idea on this 3d printing lark personally but he chase the best material based on usage and install location

I can say its Blue

Does anyone have any pics? 4 pages in this thread and not a single one

Basically this:



It just wedges between the FL upper strut brace and the back of the master cylinder and stops the master cylinder moving (or at least reduces the movement). I haven't quite got the spacing correct on mine yet so it needs tweaking, and tbh I wasn't satisfied with my printed version. I used PLA which has the highest compressive strength of any of the domestic printing plastics, but it still flexes too much. I did try redesigning it but it didn't help much and then it interfered with the plastic cover on that side of the rain tray.

I am planning to further refine my design to get the angles right and then I'll send it off to my CNC guy to see what it will cost in aluminium, but I'm curious to see what MarkIII's design looks like and how it works

there was a group buy for these a couple of months ago and its made from aluminum and you can see a picture of them.

this link shows it installed

spoke to my friend and he tells me its ASA material.

its definitely making pressure modulation easier. will post a pic ASAP
