Topic: 3d printing custom parts

[bomorr]

Has anyone gotten into designing and printing custom parts for their CB?
I have a 3d printer coming in December and I plan on making some brackets, fairings, covers, etc. for my 70' CB750 project I'm working on. Just wondering if anyone else had gone down this route?

someone reproduced a start button housing on here.  i think for a 500/550.   that's all i've heard.

As well as several discussion over devices that would “improve” pod filters.

How big is the 3d printer if you’ll be making fairings?!

[bomorr]

It's only 25x21x21 cm but I'll be making locking tabs and breaking the fairings into multiple parts. If those down turn out well I'll just make forms to lay fiberglass.
Printer is a Prusa i3 MK3

What does someone need to know in order to use one of those things?

Cad or blender. Seomthing to that effect. The easy answer is "more than we know"

If you could figure out how to print a replacement knob for the early 500/550 trip meters that would be great.

Knobs, replacement grommets ( yes I am planning on printing flexible rubber grommets) , etc I plan on doing all of the above. Ill post some pictures of the models. I'll be making them while I wait for the printer to get here.

It's not that bad once you get into it, I'm using autodesk 123d design for most of my design because it's free. This program is fairly easy to use for beginners.

 I bought some 3D printed rubber parts for the 400F's not oem quality but pretty good.

Is it worth paying for college cad classes?  Just how “beginner friendly” is the software?

I came into this only a few weeks ago with no knowledge of cad programs but I did some research and watched a bunch of beginners tutorials on YouTube. There is a lot of good content that makes it easy to understand. After that I just had to get into the program and mess around and within a few minutes I had a some simple usable shapes for gears, brackets, etc.

Any chance to use digipen drawing pads with the cad program?

I assume it would be able to, I am using a Microsoft surface with the pen.
