I print stainless parts with @Neuhaus_Metalworks every month. If you would like to slide your part into the queue, I can print it to save on shipping and heat treat cost.
Send me a PM through the forum, or email daniel@neuhausmetalworks.com. If your part needs critiquing to improve printability, I will ask you to post it to this thread. That way the community can learn from the experience.
@Daniel_Y , I was just thinking this morning I’d love to do some testing on 3D printed metal welded to 4130. The college I work at has a pretty nice setup for doing macroetch testing. I’ll have to check what power microscope we have, but I may even be able to get a look at the micro grain structure. I’ve been really curious to take a look at it. Obviously, I’d document the whole experiment on here.
I’ll work out some details and see if I can piggyback on your next order. I assume you just need a .step or .stl file? These will be super simple parts, basically just a handful of flat coupons.
I would be highly interested in this tutorial. I have recently been learning fusion with youtube tutorials, but when I get into the design space on my own it’s very apparent I haven’t learned enough to create the parts I want to.
Would you be able to post a .STEP file as well? The STL is tricky for analyzing. I’d be curious to see how it lines up with the yoke that I’m getting printed.
Looks sweet! My yoke is optimized around a bit longer chainstay. I’d be interested to hear how the thin section of yours holds up - I was pretty conservative with the pinch point thickness of mine (11.5mm iirc).
