welcome back to Berm Peak I'm Seth and today we're going to be doing something a little bit different
kind of the same so I have here in front of me a whole bunch of 3d printed stuff sent to me by
the audience 3d printing is an amazing technology it has allowed people to produce things that they
would have never dreamed of without hundreds of thousands of dollars now it's within reach of just
normal consumers if you have the capability of doing a little bit of 3d modeling on a computer
you can basically just print it out so let's talk a little bit about 3d printing first
so this this is a printer so the way a printer works is it has a print head and it moves along
and it lays a little layer of ink on the paper and then you're left with this now what a 3d
printer does is it lays layer by layer on top of each other until it builds an object now it
doesn't use ink it uses filament lots of different types of filament and lots of different types of
3d printers so one of the things you'll find with 3d printed parts is that they have this texture to
them they're kind of ripped that's each layer you can actually if you look very closely see
each layer that was laid down during the printing process and because everything's not being formed
in one piece 3d printed parts tend to not be as strong as like let's say injection molded parts
and so 3d printed parts tend to be a good way to prototype things it's a way to make something
quickly so you can check for fitment and keep testing it until it's perfect then you can make
the real version out of metal or from a real mold but in recent years consumer 3d printers have
gotten good enough to make some pretty stout parts right from home and we have some pretty impressive
ones to show you today so this is from miles from Maryland it's this pedal that's actually a bottle
opener but this whole thing is really accurate you have the axis right here and it looks like you can
get a pedal wrench on it I'm wondering if if this will actually screw on a bike no it doesn't fit
but that could have been purposely because if you were to step on this it would not it wouldn't work
you would you would crash but that's not what it's for it's for opening bottles so let's try that
okay so max is 13 years old and he apparently 3d modeled this and got it working
portable wheel truing caliper I'm pretty sure I know how it works let's let's bring it over
the bike and see strap it right here then as you can see we can turn this little knob
and get this super close to the rim and now we can spin the wheel
you hear that you hear how it's nicking the wheel in one spot it's this one right here we got to
tighten that spoke and rub should go away and now it is no longer rubbing now we can continue moving
this in and in and in until it's perfect and so his invention absolutely works now here's the next
part kid thought of everything he used reusable zip ties you press this little button in and
you can take this off and use it again if you're interested in it i'll put the information below
so over here I have stuff from a whole bunch of people they're all air tag holders so when your
only tool is a hammer everything starts to look like a nail an air tag holder is like the perfect
thing to make with a 3d printer so a lot of people are making it but a few of these people got really
creative let me show you okay so they got a little creative did some packaging and they call it the
stealth tag and this one clips underneath your seat holds the air tag right there and
then it gives you a gopro mount so it has a dual purpose that's pretty cool I just have to find
my air tag I have it like on a bunch of keys somewhere oh I can use my I can use the thing oh
here it is stealth tag fits right in here so you pop that in there ooh nice snug fit you have
these too and they clamp together so like this or okay it does not go on the rails of the saddle it
actually screws into existing bolts on the saddle my saddle doesn't have those bolts what about this
one this is also an ergon saddle doesn't have those bolts this is for specialized saddles
i don't have any saddles that this will fit on but cool idea derek who has an etsy shop has an air
tag holder that is a little bit simpler I'm going to show you I'm going to pop this out okay so now
this goes in here and I suspect that it's never gonna come out ever not unless you
cut this whole thing apart so see that little hole under your steer tube gonna put it over
here probably gonna need a mallet to really get it in there good that's a tight fit which
is good because you don't want this coming out oh yeah that is never coming out and that's a
really discreet way to hide an air tag and there's a whole bunch of people selling
them and so i'll give you all the options in the description all right next what do we got here oh
this is awesome what do you reckon this is hi Seth as you know getting a face full of webs
while on the trails is a little annoying don't we know what's worse is the agony of
waiting for a safe time to take a hand off the handlebars to wipe the webs away you mean this
the product attaches to a helmet's visor and can be folded when not needed for catching spider webs
so now to some of you guys this sounds absolutely crazy but if you live in a part of the country
where it gets warm and there's narrow corridors if you're on a dawn patrol ride if you're out there
super early in the morning you are hitting all of the spider webs that have been produced throughout
the night from spiders crossing the trail and so this is going to keep them out of your eyes let's
see if it works wow he didn't even know what type of helmet I had or maybe he did appears
to work so they're up like this and this is shaped such that it kind of snaps down in that position
snaps down in that position and now it blocks the spider webs from hitting your face now I seem to
recall that we once reviewed a product that did the same thing but it took like the 50-pound
sledgehammer approach and strapped two giant antennas to your lowers this I could get behind
so I must admit I was unprepared for this I didn't have a bunch of uh
fake spiderweb in my inventory but yeah these are pretty stout this would definitely block a
spiderweb from getting in your face and if this kid tested this as good as he did for fitment
I'm sure it works let me like stick my face in the bushes or something and see if this works
I'm impressed pretty ingenious he says my concern is that although it works
very well it's not too aesthetically pleasing bob
dude this this is fine if you saw the web blazer you would not be worried about that
this one's my favorite these are water bottle cages for nalgene bottles so aaron and breckenhall
developed this and these are phenomenally built and designed they're stout they're printed
really really well they have lots of mounting holes side loaded holds 32 ounces of water
fits in absolutely perfectly we're gonna test that so let's throw this
here full bottle into the hardtail send the slope style course and see if it stays in
okay so that worked apparently and I didn't really feel all the excess weight that would
give me a really good feeling not having to wear a backpack having this much water I'm a
big fan of this but I do have some concerns so first of all I suspect that this might not fit
on some full suspension bikes especially small sized ones because sometimes the shock or parts
of the frame just clear the bottle and this is a lot thicker so for gravel bikes and hardtails
you're not going to have a problem but my other concern is with the material so it's 3d printed
what happens when it's cold out it's a nice 60 degree day right now but what if it's like
25 fahrenheit this thing gets all brittle is it gonna crack
I don't know so any of you guys that want to buy the stuff in this video that I'm linking to
you're early adopters just like me we don't know how this stuff is going to hold up long term but
I think this is a really really cool product and I am absolutely leaving this on my hardtail and here
is an invention from somebody who we featured on the channel before so josh from pro bike 3d
according to him this audience has made a massive impact on his business he is the kid that made
the chin mount for that fox pro frame that you can put a gopro on and I still use this to this day
and he made some additional mounts for gopro this guy is just smart right so on instagram and tick
tock and youtube shorts you gotta film vertically and not everybody wants to do it with a phone some
people want to do it with a gopro but the problem is the mount on the gopro is on the side not over
here he built an adapter for it and so you put your hero 10 in here he's got ones for other sizes
fits perfectly you can lock it into place right over there and now you can mount it vertically
so he is just on a roll coming up with stuff that's actually really useful I might actually
use these so here's another homegrown business stealth id so what they do is they print whatever
you want on stem spacers so here they put the Berm Peak logo on there and you can use it on
your steerer tube to set the height of your handlebars and they have a spot on the inside
of it where they can put your phone number your bike serial number so now if your bike is stolen
you have proof you can say to the police hey look take that stem spacer off right over there
and it's going to have all this information on the inside and I know that for a fact it's going to be
there and the police are gonna say what's a stem spacer all right so I know what you're gonna say
Seth you should get a 3d printer not yet not yet when I do it I'm going to
do it right I don't have the time to dive into that bottomless pit right now however
happy to take your creations and review them on the channel keep them coming can't promise I'm
going to feature them all or give you a shout out but the really interesting ones i'd love
to put those in a video and share them with the rest of the audience if you want to send your
3d printed invention just get in touch with me on my website I'm going to leave information
in the description as well and thanks for riding with me today I'll see you next time
