3D Printing: E-Bike Miniature Frame Joints

I miniaturized the joint design to build a straw mockup of the frame.  Nothing beats the touchy-feely aspect of a physical mockup!





Being able to hold it in my hands gave me a new direction on the front-end design of the frame.  The new design moves the lower connection to the fork tube closer to the wheel.

Also, received my order of XTC-3D brush-on coating for 3D printed parts.  It's supposed to self-level as it cures so it should cut down finishing time by quite a bit.  I'll do some tests this weekend and report back what I find.
