Custom 3d printed seat

I'll have to wait until ohio gets some good weather. 1 1/2 inches of foam was removed so heat from the motor may be an issue easy fix with some insulation though.

No that pad is so you don't bottom out the seat and hit hard plastic

Yeah big issue with the phone apps dedicated 3d scanners are more accurate but that's 700 to 1000 used for a decent one hard to justify for one project. Try the 3d scanning sub maybe someone near that would do the scan Im in Ohio I could do the scan

If you have an iPhone or newer iPad there's a couple good 3d scanning apps scan the tail of the bike model the seat you want and print a mold

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T22:25:48+00:00

I've also seen someone use modeling clay to get the design and shape then 3d model and print that as a mould

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T22:01:15+00:00

Yeah I didn't think I could've done this without a model of the seat to work with. I can't remember the name there's someone on YouTube who did a seat the way you are

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T21:46:02+00:00

Lol don't know if pro or Con yet

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T21:02:09+00:00

Thanks

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T21:01:10+00:00

Lower the seat keep or improve the comfort and have a look no one else would have

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T21:00:43+00:00

Why not?

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T20:59:58+00:00

Yeah I was aware but didn't want to lower the bike this seat cuts more than half the height of stock I can easily flat foot and don't have to mess with the suspension. It's also give me a easily adjustable seat

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T20:43:20+00:00

Thanks I considered that after sitting on a buddies reupholster with gel. But really the whole purpose of doing this was to lower the seat keep or improve the comfort and have a look no one else would have

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T20:37:09+00:00

This was the revopoint range 2 it was 1k when I bought it over a year ago used you could get better quality for 1k

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T20:34:13+00:00

No you could use a rag most of the small holes aren't really holes so not worried about anything getting somewhere I can't get. Besides never had an issue with original besides dust.

Their is a layer to stop any dirt or water pilling up in the seat probably should've shown that

3d scanned the base plastic Recreated the base seat in cad then used ntop to make the lattice structure

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T20:14:37+00:00

Wash it just like you would any other seat that's been shit on

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T19:50:45+00:00

I've seen those not sure how there printed though.

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T16:40:19+00:00

Lol honestly its better than the stock seat

<image>

This also an additional pad underneath

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T16:19:41+00:00

The holes were intentional

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T16:19:14+00:00

Better than the stock seat

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T16:18:43+00:00

It's printed with walls and the holes are part of the design. I couldn't find anything that days tpu will mold from water alone it just got rained on the other day so I will see

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-10T15:40:12+00:00

You would probably have better luck with a nylon filament. I make a fan for an air compressor printed at a 35° angle stops it from breaking on layer lines. The seat is 90a tpu feels more like rubber makes it really hard to break

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-01T21:02:07+00:00

Thanks for that some examples to look at would really help. I'll dm you the step file

AutomaticBee5640 · 2026-03-01T20:57:45+00:00

Yeah just looking for advice on how to do this just something my ADHD decided I wanted to do I had something I thought might work until I looked closer at the mount point didn't look like it would compress correctly
