  • Really hoping for some of these cool lugs/parts/dropouts/braze-ons to be made and released to the "consumer" framebuilding community in the near future

  • Absolutely
    It'd be great to have an app in which you modify angles and features from a library of parametric lugs and dropouts. The CAD file of your lug or dropout could then be approved for purchase or downloaded to modify the asethetics or check within a CAD assembly.

    316 stainless is the most common material that can be printed and welded/soldered.

    I just checked actually. I've only ever bonded carbon with Ti or Al and didn't know if the chromium interfered with the bond. Doesn't appear to, as long as the surface is correctly prepped.
