Anyone can have them free from this forum as long as they pay postage for shipping via paypal. I had some spare filament while prototyping one of my project. Since there was plenty of ABS/PLA filament left, I have modelled and printed 3D tools of : - Alternator pulley tool (9pcs) ALL GIVEN AWAY (might print some more in following months) plastic tool, you just need to add M6 and M10 bolt and M10 nut to make it functional, see the images below, I am giving away only plastic body. - Camshaft lock tool (11pcs) ALL GIVEN AWAY (might print some more in following months) locks cam shafts while changing belts, tensioning etc. Simple to use, insert inbetween intake and exhaust cams to lock. they were primarily for testastretta engines (749,999, S4r etc) but might fit other - Battery clip holder (5pcs). 3 Pieces remaining .This is replicate of oem ducati clip holder that holds battery in battery tray on LHS of bike. ABS/PLA plastic body with rubber insert with ducati logo as in OEM version (not shown on picture, but it is included). they were primarily designed for testastretta engines specced bikes (749,999, S4r etc) but might fit other. All printed parts are black or white plastic. I will ship out black version first. Anyone can have them free from this forum as long as you pay postage. For UK, it is about £1 (it's only 30g in weight), you can check postage here: Get a price | Royal Mail Group Ltd If interested, please pay to [email protected] via paypal and leave in paypal text note what you want from above. I am also happy to post abroad irregardless if you live in USA, Finland or North Korea. Just look up the postage and pay it via paypal.
I trust that is not a reflection of the quality of the very generously offered items! (Cheap joke I know, sorry, couldn't resist)
Stupid question from someone who hasn't done it yet: wouldn't you need two of the camshaft lock tools? ie. Both belts off at once? Anyway, brilliant ideas for use of 3D printing. I'm starting an engineering degree next year. I think I'll look into designing something like this myself as a fun project.
Its only needed for the vertical cylinder Matty; the horizontal cams don't move because that cylinder is at TDC. The vertical cylinder is on another part of the stroke so the inlet cam spins when the belt is removed. You can get by without the locking tool, I did recently; but its a bit fiddly turning the cam by hand & fitting the belt.
Thank you, Sir! In what seems a bit of a masochistic bent, I'm actually looking forward to having a go at changing my belts.
15 envelopes sent earlier today via post, almost all is taken now. Envelopes should reach you by Friday. Thanks for the interest, might 3D print some more in following months if I end up with spare ABS filament for others. An even more interesting project coming in following days, will create a new post with lot of pictures soon... stay tooned.
