Leather Wrap your 3D Prints | Custom Bicycle Handlebar Grips

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ส.ค. 2023
- When shopping for new handle bar grips for my bike, I realized I could easily make them instead! Also, I could probably make a nicer set than anything I could afford…
Armed with a free iPhone scanner app (Kiri Engine), I digitized the old handle and made a few changes before printing a set on my new V400 3D Delta Bot Printer provided to me by FLSUN.
Most all grips I have used eventually break down. Coating your hands with slimy rubber compounds. I knew I wanted to upgrade my human | machine interface to a nice leather wrapped, ergonomic design that would be fairly easy to reproduce if I needed another set.
You can print your own grips, too!

New Oltrogge let’s go!!!!
This channel diserves more recognition.
A magician at work.
Thanks for the comment. I, of course, agree with you wholeheartedly.
Your content is always the perfect blend of engineering and art. I love it!
Thank you
It’s not just the product it’s the apparently flawless execution …with every single project. I don’t know how you do it. I don’t know if there are ever mistakes or outtakes or whatnot ,but I for one appreciate your NOT showing them. There is something both daunting and
Mesmerizing watching your projects come together with such sublime precision; and it makes me believe that one day a project of my own might also manifest so perfectly. 🙏🏻🙇🙌🏻
Thank you very much! If it makes you feel better, the insert nut I installed in this video was in the wrong side... I had to cut the leather off, reprint, re-wrap and install the insert nut in the correct, under-side. I reshot it, too… but the first one looked better, so I left it in.
I think a lot of people include their mistakes to drum up a sense of drama. If I go out to a restaurant, I hope the chef doesn’t feel compelled to come out and tell me about the steak he overcooked the first go around.
I mess up all of the time, less often when I am filming because you have a lot of time to consider every step while moving the camera, etc…
@@Grunblau 💕🙏🏻
Nice job. I particularly liked the masking tape pattern development.
Useful for a lot of things!
Wow, so simple but such an elegant process.
Thanks! Usually I am struggling to edit down multiple hours worth video, this time it even came out under the 8 minute threshold. Pretty straightforward!
Awesome job!! using all those digital tools the results are fantastic!!!!
Thanks! People forget the power of the flatbed scanner! :)
You are such an impressive maker. Well done.
Thank you very much! I hope people are inspired to try on their own…
These videos never fail to impress me. You are the most talented person on TH-cam in the maker community
I see a lot of incredible talent on TH-cam these days! I think there are just a couple channels sucking up a lot of the oxygen so you need to dig deeper than you used to… Thanks!
Dude, just wow. Each and every your video is a joy to watch and very inspiring! Getting myself a 3d printer
Hey, thanks! Look into the Bambu enclosed printers. I’m not affiliated or anything… I just know everyone that has one is happy with them. This delta one is fun to watch, but technology moves on…
@@Grunblau Thanks! I ordered the P1S. Not the fanciest one they have, but still a steady starting point. Very excited
Fantastic presentation. This is the power of 3D printing.
Yup. Thank you!
Individualized ergonomic design is one of the best benefits of 3D printer. This is best utilized by those who understand biomechanics.
Gad to see you back with a video, you have been missed!
Hey, thanks!
I need my 2024 dose of Oltrogge ❤
Wow, I love how you've showcased your design, thought process and build. This is super inspiring. Cheers.
Thanks! Good luck with your projects!
Awesome 👍. I thought you were gonna cast rubber grips, using the 3D printer. But these are like Bentley grips. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks! I was going to print the snake skin one in TPS filament but ran short on time and realized it wouldn’t really flow in the video.
Very nicely done. I have a steering wheel project for a car I’m doing, I’m probably going to borrow a few of your tip and ideas. Cheers.
Great! Steering wheel was the first thing I did this way in high school! Good luck with your project!
hi sir I admire your work on casting metals, could you do a video only on the tools , materials, and organization of your workshop and how you prepare yourself and set things up before a metal casting around your workshop
So much quality 😊 I wish you could upload more often.
Great execution, well done.
Thank you!
Great job, love the handles
Gorgeous
Thank you for posting. I truly love your videos and look forward to watching them.
Thank you very much. Means a lot…
Very nice video!!
Wow! Impressive!
That's an impressive project! 🙏 Thanks!
Thank you! Easy way to add leather to 3D prints…
Wow, nice job!
Thanks!
Excellent!
Amazing! They look great!
Thank you!
Wow those came out great!
Glad you like them!
Could you make a video specifically for beginners & intermediates trying to learn about all the tools you use where to start & where to move forward when getting better
Another killer video Brian! I never thought about just cutting the holes in the leather with the laser.
Thanks! Yeah, the thing is… either side is slightly a different length with the baseball stitch. Using the array tool, I could simply array 25 holes instead of an even spacing like a leather fork would do.
Only draw back I see is the little bit of soot left in the hole.
Missing your videos
Nice handle ❤
Make big project and use all your tools in one video (or) show all your tools and tell good thing about that tool
I would love to build a prefab shop. A stand alone building for my backyard. Just need one of these scratch-offs to hit and I’d be all set…
@@Grunblau 🤩 waiting to see how would it turns 👍
Great job, as always. Your video style is perfect! Cheers from Ontario
Thank you! I am always trying to improve…
Excellent work! Wow.
Thank you very much!
As always... I love your videos!!!❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
Did the same a while ago and it was definitely easier than i thought! The only flaw is that I used smooth leather instead of a grippier rough one, but it's ok so far. Rough leather gets smooth over time as well.
Dang, looking good!
So now I need a laser cutter,
leather,
...and a bike
Well this bike was parked next to a garbage can in my neighborhood and the owner said I could have it. Still have my eyes out for a free laser cutter, however…
@@Grunblau Free bike, nice.
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Everything you show us is so damned cool
Pretty cool bro.
Thanks!
Well done Brian! 😃🤙🏻
Thanks! 👍
That was well done.
Thank you!
Grandios!!!
love em, time for a 3d printer
I can say that they are finally getting to the point where they work as expected every time. Too often in the past you felt like you were getting ready for a science fair.
Fancy!
Impeccable. Not that I'd pec.
Nice 👌
Thanks 😊
i was vibing hard to the music while the printer was doing its work - great video as always. Wonder what else you got going on - any new fountains/sculptures?
I have a pretty sweet fire pit I am trying to afford to do. Laser cut 3/8” steel that is bent into shape with a hand torch and welded. You can actually catch a glimpse of an early mockup in the scene with the flatbed scanner ;)
Might I recommend kangaroo leather for your next set, it is stronger so can be used thinner.
Excellent! Username checks out… Thanks I’ll look into that.
sweet
Finallyyyy
Well I thought I was disappointed that it wasn't a casting video, but damn I was wrong!
(Secret Time 🤫) I was preparing to do a lost wax UV cured 3D print for these. That is why you see a resin print in some of the shots.
Seemed too involved for what this is, but I am still looking for ideas!
@@Grunblau Don't get me wrong, I love all your videos. The one you made of making your own dominos has made wish the local community collage still had actual manufacturing classes instead of just a CNC program. :(
That is some very nice work, good job. How powerful of a laser would I need to cut leather like that?
A couple passes with a 40W or one pass with a 100W would be a good guess. This leather seems a tiny bit more difficult that normal veg-tan, though…
Cool! Great work! Do you just laser engraved leather with some patterns on other two pairs? In this case, does it decrease water resistance of leather? Or you 3d-printed stamp and pressed pattern on leather? How long white stitches remain white?
Yeah the pattern is just engraved. I suspect it won’t really matter as the edges are also exposed. As far as pressing the leather… not with oil tanned, it wouldn’t take. The white would honestly probably get whiter with use as it has a small amount of charred leather in it from the holes. I like when things look worn, though…
Awesome project, how do you clean the edges of your laser cut leather?
Thanks! Mostly by handling it. If it was a concern it could be wiped with a damp cloth and sealed with a variety of different waxes, etc…. This is oil tanned, so it sort of self lubricates the edges…
Great video! Could you share what app were you using for the photogrammetry and then for the post processing of the result? Thank you!
This was the free version of Kuri Engine. Just emailed to myself from the app. There might be better pay apps like Polycam, for example.
Polycam uses your LiDAR and might be better if your phone has that capability.
great video as always. I'm amazed that you were able to print CF Nylon without an enclosure. with nylon did you use?
NylonX from Matterhackers. The most difficult thing to overcome was getting it to stick to the build plate. I had to turn up the temp quite a bit a lightly scratch the surface with some scotch brite.
@@Grunblau For bed adhesion issues I usually recommend Magigoo. Their PA and Pro PA are designed for Nylon
This was such a cool project!
Are the alligator ones fully 3D printed?
Yeah. I made a grasshopper definition that makes a tortoiseshell out of surface. :)
hey Brian awesome video, what is the scanning app you used? how do you then convert this to a usable element in Rhino? thanks in advance
App: Kiri engine
👆 I used this one but I didn’t need super fine fidelity and I wanted it to appear more approachable. I also tried out Polycam, and I think it might be better if your phone has LiDAR. At the time, my phone was full so I didn’t have the space for a giant mesh file. I tried KIRI first and it worked as well as I needed it to.
For KIRI, you click process.. then a few minutes later it tells you it is complete. You can then send it to yourself and import the mesh into Rhino.
Thanks mate!
👍👍😎👍👍
Leather saddle?
I knew someone once that made their own saddle. Huge undertaking. I would need a horse first. Unless Mini-Pinschers can be broken…
@@GrunblauI'm pretty sure if you tried to ride a minpin it would break, but I'm not an expert in horseback riding or dogs.
Do I spend $30 on grips or buy a $900 3D printer to attempt to make my own.. Yes, I spend more money to try to make it myself! I love that attitude, I do it myself.
♾️ grips > 1 printer :) easy to justify…
'promosm' 😓
