Title: 3D printed parts to augment the FX
Post by: Olav on November 10, 2013, 10:32:55 PM

I'm going to design some parts and pieces for the 2014 Zero FX.

Just based on the pictures I'm going to start by modeling/making a nice headlight enclosure to conceal the assembly and exposed wires/connectors.

I'll be using the Replicator 2X and ABS to print the models.

Then I'll move on to other stuff that needs attention.

Sounds awesome. I look forward to seeing it.

Do you do 3D printing for a living?

Industrial automation which involves prototyping stuff.

Yah I'll post my results.

Wow, that is just wow. Really shows the potential of 3d-printing!

Motor air scoop please!  I haven't looked at it enough to think about mounting points, inlet location, and shape quite yet.

Olav,

Print out a cool, sleek rear luggage rack to go over that huge rear fender space.

Oh, and a PowerTrailer that has slots for 4 of the standard FX battery packs and a supercharger to charge the bike and trailer up as fast as possible.   

 ;D

All great ideas.

I'll post up some models off all the suggestions as they progress.

Some might be too big for one pass so they will have a little bit of assembly.
