Concept Bikes & Bike Innovation - for better or worse

I know near nothing about 3d printing but I doubt it'd be worth putting in all the time to make something custom first try, reckon you could make a copy of my current stripped saddle just in 3d design software, what would you charge for your time?

It would have to be custom anyway, since the design of your current saddle is based around a)ABS (probably) and b)injection moulding (almost certainly) - and this saddle would be 3D-printed PLA so its mechanical properties would be different. I won't charge anything for a fellow LFGSSer, so long as you don't mind me doing it in the evenings.

What I would say is this - I expect a 3D printed PLA saddle to be weaker than a conventional one for a given weight. Perhaps Berrow can confirm how strong his pedals are before anything goes ahead.

This guy demonstrates that PLA seems to be pretty strong. Subjective test, of course.

Anyway. This sounds like a fun project and I'm very interested in getting my own 3D printer in the future, so I'm happy to help - please PM me.
