Before my knee surgery in December, I purchased a 3d printer to keep me occupied during recovery. It's proving more fun and useful than I could have imagined.
In addition to printing lots of other people's creations, I have created a small library of my own stuff. My library contains printable parts for the TRS I used to own or the TRS may someday own:
- E-Start TRS Number Plate
- E-Start TRS Enrichener Lever
- TRS CDI Mode Switch Bracket
- TRS Crankcase Breather Hose Elbow
The 3D print files and more information for all of these parts are available in the Prusa Print Library. The print library contains everything you need to print these parts on any 3D printer. Contact me via (david at scarbro dot com) if you would like to get any of the parts directly from me. I'm not try to start a sideline business, just looking to break even (more or less).
If you have suggestions for 3D printable parts, I would love to hear them.
I like the side stand foot that you made.
Thanks. The kickstand feet are molded plastic. The "master" used to make the cast for the TRS foot is mostly Bondo sanded to the desired shape.
I started working on a "big foot" for Beta kickstands, but haven't finished it.
If access to a high resolution 3D scanners was affordable, it would be fun to try drawing and printing the big feet for kickstands. Because of a kickstand's complicated shape, it is hard to draw a copy in 3D CAD. I failed when I tried a few years back.
@dscarbroSo the foot that's on my Beta that I got from Bob B. was designed for the TRS? If so, I'll buy one for my Beta when you have them available and donate mine to a TRS owner. maybe a new owner that gets an E-Start model! 🙂
The one you have is a Beta kickstand foot prototype. The bottom is not parallel to the ground. This will be fixed in the next iteration.
The foot I've been making is for the 1st generation TRS kickstand. TRS has since improved the kickstand. The 2nd generation already has a bigger foot and doesn't "tent stake" like the 1st generation did. It new version is now used on all TRS bikes. For a couple years, it was used only the RR & Gold models and R models still got the 1st generation kickstand. For New England mud, I think an even bigger foot might still be useful. I've had several inquiries for one from people, but I don't have access to a 2nd generation kickstand to develop a foot to fit it.

Hope your knee heals quick
Can you print me a new bike!
But seriously how about the lower mud guard for the front fender?

@43
Do mean a mud flap? Can you provide a photo (or link to one on the web) of what you mean.
Dave
Mud flap is the proper term
What do you think ?
What type of materials does your
Printer do?
@43
Chris, My printer can print a bunch of different plastics. I've been printing mostly PETG and TPU. The TPU is more flexible and really tough. It might be good for a mud flap, but still may be too stiff. There are more flexible filaments, but I haven't needed to print anything too flexible yet. Can you post a picture and dimensions of what you need?
