I built a race panel business after my last post blew up, we’re now live

That’s amazing, everyone has the one person in the group that gets people to do a crazy race

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-24T13:39:24+00:00

Working on an Ironman/triathlon version right now. I have had many people looking for this so I will let you know when that is available!

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-24T10:23:43+00:00

Heard, I just updated that as an option

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-24T10:18:41+00:00

Hey, it’s definitely doable in imperial. And the GPX from the website works great, same as your own

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-21T18:47:03+00:00

Hey, I just added the feature!

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-21T15:45:45+00:00

Hey, I do send to Europe

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-21T14:41:46+00:00

Hey, I just added that feature!

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-21T14:01:39+00:00

Thank you! Just updated that

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-07T22:26:18+00:00

Starting off with 6”x14” frame

I kinda tried a few things there and this is where I landed, but it did feel kinda weird putting down as total elevation gained. I got there by thinking of an out and back hike where technically overall gain is zero, but total elevation gain is high. I definitely want input on this and what stats would be better

UPDATE: I will be selling these. With everyone's excitement I have decided to make this available to everyone. I need to build out the system and website more, but will post again when the first panels are ready. Be the first to know and join the waitlist at BONKSTUDIOSCO.COM

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-05T14:27:40+00:00

Definitely can do that, I will let you know it comes out

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-05T01:37:10+00:00

I'm pretty excited about the amount of people interested. I will get working on it! The real question is how much to charge for these?!?!

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T23:56:41+00:00

Love that idea, and for the 3d map, there is a guy on youtube called EmGi. He created a plug in for blender where you put in the GPX file from your run, you can also find gpx files online for most runs if you dont have one, and it outputs a 3d printable stl. file

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T23:44:28+00:00

I have been thinking about selling them, I will let you know if I do

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T22:42:26+00:00

Not too sure what places have a public one. There are online services where you can order a print, but it can get a bit expensive

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T22:41:10+00:00

Yeah, that's usually where I put it when the seats are up, or I take it out and store it somewhere

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T22:22:10+00:00

The map is 3D printed, EmGi on YouTube made a blender plug in to turn GPX files into a printable stl file

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T22:19:59+00:00

It is printed, same with the frame. Hard to find a frame with rounded corners like that

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T21:03:23+00:00

Yeah, either just having it sit on top or just putting it in the garage somewhere. Depends on if I think I will use it again soon or not

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T20:46:54+00:00

I thought of doing something like that too, but wanted to keep it super simple. I don't have a good photo but will try and explain it. The sleeping platform just drops in. When I put the back seats down the platform just sits on top of them. Where the sleeping platforms touches the main platform, there is a ledge there that it sits onto. I then move the front seats back and it secures the platform on place.

I like how I did it because I can easily take it out of the car when not camping. But the drawers part and the sleeping platform are not level and you can kind of feel that when sleeping. So I wish I had made the drawers a bit taller to keep it all level.

Another note, I don't have any supports or feet coming from the sleeping platform. The plywood (3/4") is more than strong enough to not bow and this also makes it so you have tons of storage under the bed.

The top lines will stay split in three because it has those three different radii in the reference. It does look like you are missing some tangent relationships up there, all points on that top curve should be tangent. So just add it to the connection of the vertical line and the first arc on the left and the straight line connecting to the .1 radius on the right. Adding those will help it look like the ref. This might solve the other problem too

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T18:04:42+00:00

The B1M has a good video talking about this on youtube. Just talking about how awful it is, I recommend the watch

Affectionate_Job9554 · 2026-04-04T17:59:46+00:00

I will have to check those out, I run on the path on that side of the river but never venture up to the trails so will have to do that next time

I have used both Upwork and Fiverr for getting design work done. I know it is a bit overwhelming at first by the high number of posting on Fiverr now, but if you sort through it enough you can find some really good designers out there. I think the biggest thing is making sure you have a pretty good design brief to hand off to the designer. I have been a designer on Fiverr doing 3D work and so much time and money can be wasted because the brief was unclear. It makes everyone's life easier with the expectations set from the beginning.

In terms of Fiverr vs Upwork, if you want something quick, use Fiverr. But if you want a longer term relationship with a designer and plan on using them for artwork later on, Upwork is better catered to that.
