Hulsroy's Hustle

3D printed?

Nope

Interesting!
How are you going about making them then?

Sorry that was a quick and rude answer. I was under pressure from my toddler!

We are exploring different options of injection moulding.
I am currently working on a research project called Recovered Plastics. And through this I have learned a lot about recycled plastic and I think it would be fun to make some moulds for a wheel.

I have some experience making mould with students and an old colleague of mine. The idea is to make a two part mould (positive/negative) for half a wheel. Then once two half are made stick them together.

I have not done the fab drawings yet but I can show you when I find some time.

Awesome! Maybe this is something to consider when the offspring learns to tuck in (my kids have more of a boomer-ebike kind of riding style, so no aerospokz for them).

I have actually been to force recently. I was invited to the opening of their new metal 3d printer. Dope place.

That's all right - kids > internet conversations

It sounds like a very interesting use of recycled plastic - not to mention the colour options!
Are you going for something similar to the precious plastics injection moulding machine?

Also, rear plate wheel for those sweet aero gainz!

Yes. Precious Plastics is a big part of our inspiration. But I think we will get pros to produce the pieces.
We will see about disc wheels. I quite like the double spokz and barspin-ability style.

You should start a company making cycling components from recycled plastic. The world is going green.

Garmin mounts, bottle cages etc

Especially in fun colours and patterns

Sounds cool. What are the moulds made of, machined aluminium or something more cost-effective?

(Don't give away IP if it's going to compromise you, I'm just a guy on the internet asking)

Totally. I have been thinking about some things. It is just hard to find the time.

I am not worried about IP.

I have previously done moulds with students in aluminium. I am expecting we will go with something similar. But all of this is to be investigated.

That looks so naughty!

Great idea this.

There is no reason for this. But I had a pair of nice gumwall tyres that needed a bike to sit on.

Proper #dbad mindset

I have boarded the hype train

the guy outside; is. he carrying something while riding?

It does if you smear Vaseline into your eyes.

None of my #purpleano / #3dv bits match either sozlol.

Very cute selection, ready to gawp at the build!

It's gonna be good ay

You are special
