Спасательный инструмент для выравнивания вилки...

Quickly align your stem and handlebars with the front tire in a accurate-ish way. Place it on the handlebars, get it roughly centered, and use the top groove as a «sight» to center it on the front tire.

Я увидел оригинал в видеоролике Berm Peak Express об инструментах для 3D-печати велосипедов, подумал, что это умно, и захотел попробовать, но в разделе ссылок в описании было написано: «Измеритель выравнивания руля. К сожалению, ссылка на это творение больше не работает». Well, didn't look complicated, so I drew it up and printed it out. Made a couple adjustments after my test print (in the photos) so it'll work better.

Соответствующая часть видео находится здесь:

Приятным преимуществом этой конструкции является то, что она хорошо работает с цельными комбинациями руля и выноса, но не так хорошо, если на выносе установлено что-нибудь, например компьютер или фонарь. Тем не менее, это так чертовски просто, что трудно рассердиться.

Before you think «I could put a dollar store laser pointer on that!» — those rarely have the laser beam lined up with the centerline axis of the body, which means they'll be useless in that application. A red dot projector for a firearm, however, won't be much more and has adjustments for moving the aim point. Easy enough to roll one on its side while projecting on a wall and adjust until the point on the wall doesn't move up or down.

My original prototype (in the photos) only just cleared the stem on my trail bike, so I made it a bit wider. Also stepped it out a little to be easier to use, and added curved corners to make it prettier. I think it's now closer to the original in the video.

Кредит

This isn't my idea, I just drew it up because the notes said the original wasn't available anymore. I thought it was a clever idea and wanted to try it out. If anyone can tell me who made the original, I'll be more than happy to give credit here and link if the original is available.

Печать

Pretty much however you want in whatever you want. I used 0.2mm SPEED setting on my MK4 with a 0.4mm nozzle and it's fine. Заполнение какое угодно. Никакие опоры не нужны.

Почему такое имя?

Спасательный инструмент для выравнивания вилки? No particular reason, just liked that combination of words together. It was going to be a fork alignment tool, but I felt it needed one more word. Слово, начинающееся на букву «Р».

Печаль

Seth did a video on 3D printed bike tools and I didn't make the cut. I made a fork dust seal press in 2017 and a top cap socket tool for the SR Suntour forks back in 2019, as well as a fork thru-axle mount. I also think I've got one or two other pretty damn useful things, but oh well. Фу-фу, я!
