3D printed parts to augment the FX
« on: November 10, 2013, 10:32:55 PM »

I'm going to design some parts and pieces for the 2014 Zero FX.

Just based on the pictures I'm going to start by modeling/making a nice headlight enclosure to conceal the assembly and exposed wires/connectors.

I'll be using the Replicator 2X and ABS to print the models.

Then I'll move on to other stuff that needs attention.

Sounds awesome. I look forward to seeing it.

Do you do 3D printing for a living?

Motor air scoop please!  I haven't looked at it enough to think about mounting points, inlet location, and shape quite yet.

Olav,

Print out a cool, sleek rear luggage rack to go over that huge rear fender space.

Oh, and a PowerTrailer that has slots for 4 of the standard FX battery packs and a supercharger to charge the bike and trailer up as fast as possible.

All great ideas.

I'll post up some models off all the suggestions as they progress.

Some might be too big for one pass so they will have a little bit of assembly.
