    Going to need at least 6 of these to hold my quiver up but havent able to find $200 in the couch. Definitely looks like a 3d printed design.

    Not that I am aware

    I did this one a last year, and works rad:

    Interesting option, rfconroy. I’ve been kicking around something in between both of these approaches without the cam and springs of the Gravity Grabber (I presume) and the sloped sides of yours. More like a wedge for a pair of skis that slide up and down to lock them in place.

    Yeah, that's pretty a pretty cool. Nice to display so you can see all the topsheets!

    Looks nice but dont have the wall space to display my skis like that. mostly limited to a closet.

    Also, wanted to see if anyone has printed any angle guides for tuning edges?

    Got a 3d printer recently and decided to see what I could add to this thread.

    My version of a ski wall display:

    The gears link both sides together so that they always move synchronously. Not sure if this is actually beneficial, but at least it looks kinda cool. The gears also stop either side from opening too far or closing too much. I used an old road bike tire for the friction pad, but I've also experimented with a TPU print which also works.

    Below is a new ski pole basket I printed for my 3 piece poles which enable the poles to clip together securely without the need of the velcro strap they came with. Currently printed in PLA but I hope to reprint them in nylon at some point for a little added flex. (Black is stock, white is printed)

    I also started working on a footbed. I was able to get a scan of my foot form the Verifit app by signing up for a free business account. I've tried http://gensole.com/ but its finicky and I haven't quite got something I'm happy with, but it definitely looks possible to get a good product out of it.

    This is fucking rad!

    Where can I grab some files to try this shit out?

    For anyone that's interested I finally got around to experimenting with 3D printed footbeds. Printed the final versions in TPU for flexibility and a bit of cushioning. In the picture you can see how they compare to my current footbeds.


    After some testing I found that Gensole was too finicky and wasn't really designed with iterative changes in mind so it was basically just a gamble if you would get something workable from it. Also Verifyt didn't scan the arch very well. The most reliable scanner I've come across is EM3D, which uses the FaceID camera on an Iphone for a really accurate scan. The workflow involves uploading the foot scan to Fusion, dividing the foot into 5-7 planes, sketching splines that trace the arch on each plane, and finally lofting the individual sketches to as a form so that you can make easy adjustments to the arch shape.


    Also, for the ski holder, you can find it on printables under the name "Gravity Ski Holder/Ski Rack (UPDATED)." (Not sure why but I don't think I have permission to link directly)

    Not exactly sure what you mean, but I can upload the fusion file somewhere so you can look through the timeline and see the steps that way.

    Anyone ever try printing boot soles? I love my wife and all, but Jesus h Christ her feet are a pain in my ass! We’ve tried all sorts of boots and the only things that work are these old Salomon optima mid entry boots.

    The problem is that whatever material they used gets brittle over time and falls apart. I can usually find another pair cheep on eBay, but it would be nice to not have to worry about them falling apart on a trip. It seems like this would be a perfect item to be 3D printed.

    Has anyone created a toe shim for the speed radical or other 30x39 hole pattern dynafit toes? Basically, looking to print my own version of the B&D 6.4mm classic shim. https://skimo.co/bnd-shims.

    Thanks in advance

    I’m also curious about a 6mm toe shim for ski trab vario 2.0. I hate high ramp

    Like creating binding templates and our binding layout tools, input is needed to provide things like shims.

    Provide a scan (or good, straight on image) of the toe bottom & a scaled tracing of the toe and I could generate the 3d model and/or the .stl files for printing.

    I tried getting a library going for stuff like this but no one seemed interested in contributing.

    I’m a hackjob at anything CAD related but managed to trace an image and double check with a few measurements to at least get the holes in the right place. Here is a link to a .stl file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10EL...w?usp=drivesdk

    I don’t have a printer myself so spent the 10$ to have it printed and shipped to my on Craft Cloud. When it arrives in a week or so I’ll update the design if needed and put it on printables.

    Another decent option for shims is send cut send, they have a couple delrin and other plastic options that fit the use case pretty well. You can use a drawing software like inkscape to draft the pattern and then just choose the material and thickness you want

    I traced a photo and scaled a 2D file in Inkscape. Imported that .svg file to tinkercad and set the stack height of the shim to the desired height and save it as a .stl file. Not too hard.

    FWIW, I converted your .stl file back to a 2d polygon. IMO, adding a few mm's to the perimeter and then rounding over the corner makes for a cleaner print. The extra width will account for any discrepancies in the trace vs trying to get the perimeter to be dead on with the binding shape. Obviously, you can print your drawing to compare too.

    3D printing is cool and obviously the way to go for reproducible production of oddly shaped parts. Great for anything you'd want to have a library of and be able to sell on demand like all of the cool shit Alpinord is making.

    But if you just want shims for a binding, it has got to be less work to just buy some piece of delrin (or a plastic cutting board), trace the bottom, cut it out with a coping saw, and then drill some holes...

    It will fit, you won't have any issues with layer separation or fragile plastics/cheaper filaments...and other than sourcing the plastic, that's like what? 20 minutes?

    Knowing me, I'd probably spend 45 minutes reading reviews of different print-on-demand places before picking one to send my file to

    That Send Cut Send place looks pretty sweet though for things that make more sense to cut out than to print.

    Speed Radical Toe shims printed and fit tested. Fits well with screw holes and is very close to the exact outline of the actual binding.

    https://www.printables.com/model/951...tern-6mm-stack

    I had them printed on Craftcloud for $12 shipped in PETG at 80% infill.

    Just putting it out there. If someone wants to make a file for a clone of this tech toe binding mount it would be awesome and I’ll happily buy you a 6pack.

    Thread has me wanting to buy a first printer.

    Seems like a prusa is the way to go (I've built them in the past at work lol).

    Any other recommendations? I wonder if black friday will have some good options.

    If you want to get into printing as a hobby, Prusa is a good, high quality option. Open source, easily maintainable and upgradable.

    If you want to get into printing to support a hobby, Bambu is a better option. Tightly integrated, high quality, easy to use machines.

    Think of it a bit like a user friendly Linux distro vs a Macbook.

    If $600 is within budget, a P1S will be more than enough for vast majority of users.
