Indicator adapters front and back for CBR300R

prusaprinters

For my taste the CBR's factory indicators are far to beefy, so I replaced them with some Barracuda Mini Vipers. But that is actually easier said than done, given the fact that there are no indicator adapters available that wouldn't leave a massive recess in the fairing. – Time to fire up the A8. :)As mentioned above, the adapters are designed to fit the Barracuda Mini Vipers, which have an 8mm wide and ~19mm long thread with a pitch of 1.25mm. The diameter of the indicator's arm is 16mm. Any indicators with these dimensions should fit straightaway.I used mike_mattala's brilliant screw and nut generator to create the threaded parts. The bolt consists of two parts: one with an inner thread (pitch: 1.25mm, matching my indicators), the other one with an outer thread (pitch: 1.25mm). The whole assembly is completed by a nut (pitch: 1.25mm, matching the bolt) to which I just added a fixed washer.Print SettingsPrinter:Anet A8Rafts:Doesn't MatterSupports:YesResolution:0.10mmInfill:20% (adapter) 100% (nut and bolt)Notes:Only the adapter itself needs to be printed with supports.How I Designed ThisStep 1 (front):Removed one of the factory indicatorsStep 2 (front):Slid a piece of paper into the fairing and traced out the shape of the hole/indicatorStep 3 (front):Scanned said paper and created a vector graphic in Affinity DesignerStep 4 (front):Imported the vector graphic into Blender and extruded it into the third dimensionStep 5 (front):Printed said extrusionStep 6 (front):Wrapped painter's tape around it, inserted it into the fairing and traced out the shape of the fairingStep 7 (front):Removed the tape from the extrusion and scanned itStep 8 (front):Cleaned up the scan and used it as texture in BlenderStep 9 (front):Still in Blender, I cut the model to the shape of the fairingStep 10 (front):Added the hole for the indicator and added some details in openSCADStep 1 (back)Used the base shape and created the adapter in openSCAD :)Category: Automotive
