I enjoyed the measurements of my last fixie so now we have on this 1A throw nearly the same.
34mm X 52mm @ 52g
Interesting properties are:
Very very powerful at 52g
The porcelain PLA makes it grid able
Fast but hard to catch due to its slime line shape
What are you guys using for guts? I’m curious how I can get some so I just need to make the actual shape and rims
In this throw they are printed.
What kind of hub are you using?
Looks like flat cap side effects
New prototype. Higher walls and added a bunch of hollow triangles to try out lighter weight. Matte black feels more premium somehow and looks nice with the yellow.
What’s that bad boy weigh in at?
58.8 grams. Still a bit heavier than most modern wooden throws, but feels VERY light. I guess it’s the material and somewhat hollow body. So far my favorite one with this profile had just a few hollow triangles and weighed 67 grams. Sounds crazy heavy, but just feels right.
I love a throw that punishes my hand. 70g Harbinger I have is one of my favorites!
I’m just curious to know if there is a particular reason for choosing the triangular shape void for reducing weight.
It has todo on how 3D printers work. Everything smaller then 45 degree is no overhang and will not cause any dripping of the plastic.
Cool. I’m enjoying all the posts regarding the 3D printed throws and accessories.
Like @Kray said. It’s the easiest shape to print. Printed with the triangles pointing up.
Right. I was thinking it had either a handlebar mustache or horns.
Tangent: any suggestions for (preferably free) design software? My neighbor got a 3d printer and I want to try making a custom soap dish. Yes, I do dream big, thanks.
I use fusion 360. They have a free version. @MarkD uses FreeCAD in his tutorials.
What are the custom guts like? Just allows the gap to be slightly wider? Looks amazing btw!
