Bikes spare parts with 3D printing ?

Sorry I closed the previous conversation I don't know how!

So again, Do you think there are bike parts that can be 3D printed ?

Seen a carbon frame with 3d printed titanium 'lugs' so yes.

Thank you! And what about plastic parts ?

Bastion do this and they’re awesome

I believe @PhilDAS has a 3D printed cable stop from someone on here.

Oh yeah true that

A bit pricy

Because, to explain you, I'm trying to develop a platform where spare parts (mainly in plastic) can be found : https://www.myminifactory.com/category/cars-other-vehicle.
There are cars parts, but not much bike ones. So I wanted to know if it could interest people

Why do you have to specifiy plastic?
A lot of bike parts have a lot of force or tension through them and plastic would not be suitable. There’s a reason why bike parts aren’t plastic already.
Things like light holders, Garmin mounts etc are about the only use.
You can print to metal anyway

For now, I only have ABS and PLA. But the thing is, I am more looking for design parts so that people could print them at home than printed them myself.
And in fact there are some website like https://3dcompare.com/materials/ that find for you the material you want at the better price.

So in fact, I am looking for parts to design, to enrich our data base for our customers. Do you know which parts often break ?

And actually, if you need a part, you can ask for it here : https://www.myminifactory.com/pages/request-a-free-spare-part
and I will design it, only photos and dimensions are needed

Hello,

I would suggest rear mech and front mech hangers?

You know what would be useful. Tools...Even if they break after one use, a lot of times you only need to use a tool once in a blue moon so if you could save yourself some dough printing it I bet people would go for that. Things like cassette and bottom bracket tools, headset presses might work or even just bits to fit on a threaded rod...maybe even cone spanners, stuff that doesn't necessarily have to have loads of force put through it or can be overbuilt. And then the small plastic stuff like tyre levers, bottle mounts and gadgets, garmin mounts, phone mounts

Adapter/Spacer to move a bottle cage lower. Handy for frame bag space

Hi, thank you all for your ideas, and thanks to those who has requested a spare part
: https://www.myminifactory.com/pages/request-a-free-spare-part.

I tried to gather everything that was asked, and what I already had access to, you can see it here : https://www.myminifactory.com/category/cycling.

Again, don't hesitate to ask for a piece, and if you have other ideas of broken pieces, thank you !!

Things like cassette and bottom bracket tools...
