   Part of me wants to assemble it with the ABS 3d print base.. But I know it would be a bad idea. Next step is transferring to metal. I can tell i need a 3D printer |

I've owned one(well 2 different ones) for 2 years, honestly I misused the thing for the first year. Make a few things and basically designated it a "toy". Then I started using it for quickly making parts to see if they would fit. As once its going it's mostly set it and forget it, where as machining would take some thought.
For rapid prototypes where you don't give a shit about strength but want a visual confirmation things will work the way you intend, these things are epic. You can make pretty decent strength parts out of it if you make your infill high too.
Also there are guys on Scooter Maniacs group that 3d print intakes, they seem to hold up? I dunno I may give it a go.

PETG can stand up to 90c degrees and i thing it can be posible to run it like that.

It may work, but if it ruined this cylinder or crank I would be chapped.
I have a CNC to make at least the base plate out of aluminum. I just have to not be lazy.

Couldn't you use some sort of oil n heat resistant material in the 3d printer? That way you could just pop out parts haha.
You should consider making a couple extra, I'm sure you could sell this setup to a few Honda guys out there. Awesome work btw.

I just wanted to say that this is badass and continues to get more badass each time I look; and I'm happy you're sharing another drool-inducing project with us.

LOL, I did a double take on that!
It really looks like my dogs face!
Sadly it is a postcard of a bear in a old record bowl.

The ABS is heat resistant and oil/gas too. But I think over time the studs would pull out of the plastic. |

would love to see how it really should be done! I'm a hack. My tools are mostly the same, big plate with a notch cut out of it, I use snap on sockets instead of big allen bolts to push the pin. Everything else looks similar, but I will show some build up pictures next time. |

 I like having options. This is my 3rd crank option. that is the Stage6 R/T95 ATV crankshaft. It doesn't fit, but it does now.   |

Oh yes, there will be case work to come. It is 4mm wider overall.
The flywheel side... well there will be special stuff going on there....

That intake is beautiful.
Would the existing 3d printed intake work with hardened bushing inserts for the cylinder through-holes?
