If you really want to try rubber then a 3d printed Polypropylene part is the way to go.
Yeah Ill have a little think about it. It was just something that occurred to me today and I wondered why no one had designed something like that before
Came across this chap, quite by chance. Amusing to boot.
Bendy frame seems to work better than anticipated, so maybe polypropylene is the answer, as Rich said. Or maybe a āsmall pee-pee frameā is something else entirely.
Thatās the guy I got my ideas from.
It worksā¦ whether itās good is another thing.
Like so much in my lifeā¦
Polypropylene did last quite a while. However eventually the crashes took their toll. The main damage was de-lamination of the 3d printed layers and a tendency to stay bent after being bent.
My carbon frames have stood up to a lot more abuse than the polypropylene did and I did have those fly-aways as wellā¦
Forget the frame, I expect a 3D print Twin of yourself
Now bendy frames takes it to a whole new level lol
