So while I slowly save money for my other project https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=106672 I have been thinking about designing a 3D printed carbon wrapped frame.
The idea being that it would be 3D printable on a standard ender 3 style printer and build-able with some fairly basic tools, I have an idea for a simple drive using the BHT/GNG/LMX/LR style motor but I haven't modeled it yet -
If this all works out the way I hope I plan on releasing an opensource parametric model so if someone else wanted to build one they could tailor it to their size/motor choice etc... But that's a long way down the track...
A few pics of some early prototyping of the down tube top tube interface below... Feel free to tell me how terrible this idea is - but I'll probably try it anyway :lol:
