PSA: Mount your own fucking skis.

[dgilligan02]

Says it’s L3298160001 in the 2019 binding manual.

Correct.

[detrusor]

Yes. Here's my method as you want the boot centre on the mount line as well: Put the boot in the jig to set the jig length. Drill the toe holes only. Shorten jig by 5mm. Align the jig on the ski with the toe holes. Drill the heel holes. This'll give you the correct forward pressure adjustment with the heel length in the middle of the centre knurl and the boot centre on the mount line.

Same for jigarex I reckon?

Not in my experience. That would put you on the third ring

Mounted up some new whips for me and my oldest kid. Wren 98s for me and Chapter 1.0 for him.

Side note - Why the fuck did Salomon make the heel pattern for the Warden 11 different from all the other Wardens/STH2s? Dicks.

Hi all, first time posting. Thanks to this thread I have been mounting my own skis for years. I getting ready to mount a brand new pair of Nordica Enforcers. Does anyone know if Nordica recommends tapping the holes?

[detrusor]

If there are metal shavings tap. Or, on the top sheet it will tell you which bit to use. If it’s 4.1 it’s likely metal in which case tap. Or, tap anyway to prevent any kind of volcano action

Yep, two layers of metal in those. I was leaning towards tapping, just wasn’t sure if anyone knew for sure with Nordica. I’ve had a few skis with metal where the manufacturer specifically said not to tap. Thanks for the reply.

Anybody have 4 spare inserts? I either can't count (likely) or lost a few (also likely).

I think I have some BF floating around, shoot me a PM

I have QKs if you need those.

Thanks. Slight preference for BF but I can definitely work with either. Already PMd fleaches but I'll get in touch if that doesn't work out.

Another shoutout to rfconroy for 3D printing guidance. Printed his 312 BSL pivot plates and the centering guide he found on thingiverse for these mounts. Much easier and faster than using paper templates. Stoked!

[chicken feathers]

^ I think thats so cool. How are people getting these printed? Ordering through a service?
Thanks for sharing rf conroy

Damn, that's some great work! Do you have your own 3d printer? How feasible would it be to order a print? Alternatively, what are the requirements of a friend's printer in terms of capacity/plastics to do this?

I have no prior 3D printing experience but I do work in engineering and have ordered parts before. I printed these myself with some guidance. I recently bought an Ender 3 V2 (relatively cheap filament printer at $280) and printed these out of PLA using mostly default settings in PrusaSlicer. I'm super happy with how they came out. As far as printer requirements I'd look to rfconroy, he told me what printer to buy haha.

I've mailed some stuff to folks, but its definitely better if you have your own printer, or know someone locally with one. If you're in a pinch reach out and we'll get you square away.

Today's project

[PeachesNCream]

Mounted some line vision 108s yesterday. When we were drilling holes there was very clearly a metal layer with metal shavings. Surprised me since I didn't think there was any metal in these skis, did some reading and I didn't see anything about metal in the core. What was this? Is there metal? Should I have used a 4.1 bit? The screws went in nicely with a 3.6 bit.

[kid-kapow]

The topsheet says 3.6.

Do they have a binding plate, or is it just" something i n the aramid, carbon, and fiberglass combo that resembles metal? That is, one should think that the translucent top sheet would indicate a metal binding plate right away

[wwwllw]

Pulled the shifts and put a real binding on.

This should be pinned in several places / threads. Thanks Spyderjon.

They may have a plate. I don't think it was a something mixed in. It took a little while to drill through and there were metal shavings and we could see the layer in the hole that was drilled. If it is a mounting plate, I'm glad they did it, the rest of the core was very soft
