Anyone use 3d printed pistons or domes for mock up purposes? I am getting ready to fianlly go through my spare engine and have cylinders that need a bore as well as what is "supposed" to be a 4mm crank. Want to mock it up with plastic parts. set it to print a pair of pistons, the models I have set up to run are 6 hours for a high resolution print per pair. Do not want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done this....

Like Claude i am a bit of a geek when it comes to technology. Have a couple printers and lathe/mill/surface grinder/bandsaw at home, have $80k plus in printers and full machine shop at work. Why not? All it is going to cost me is tome and some nylon for the first couple runs.... i have 4 spools of it right now.

Here is the Banshee I purchased.

Alba will be a good choice for trails, dunes and playing on an mx track. If you want to air it out or be competitive I wouldn't run them. The shock arms are stronger than Alba. More gussets and better welds. Those yfz shocks are what are ruining the ball joints. I wouldn't run them on any new arm or you'll be back in the same spot (unless they've been shortened).

I wouldn’t trust Alba for mx. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
