3D Printed Motorcycle Clutch: Will it Break?

In this short video, I 3D print and demonstrate my clutch pack

[@bytesandbikes]

well, bike clutches are paper, so should be fine :-) Plus more spring force makes a huge difference

[@CamdenBowen]

If I make a new one to mate to an engine or so, I'll definitely use more springs and see if that helps from slipping

[@HergerTheJoyous]

Now, to be able to design a clutch to make a go cart from an old lawnmower engine would be cool if it would last more than once around the track.

[@CamdenBowen]

I was thinking of putting it onto something eventually

[@hulksmashnoobsgotit2387]

i have a centrifugal clutch gokart, and its the most common type of gokart clutch behind the CVT.

[@joey_f4ke238]

Unless it's slipping like crazy it should hold just fine, no slip would mean no heat or wear

[@Wimmsi]

​@@CamdenBoweni think its gonna melt away

[@floridamangonwild]

Wow someone actually did it, id like to see this attached to a gearbox with 5 gears or so and a toyan engine!

[@CamdenBowen]

Me too! I think it could be possible!

[@floridamangonwild]

@@CamdenBowen im kinda wondering how the gearbox would hold up or if you would have to use metal

[@tmn2813]

@@floridamangonwild rc test flight and Edward page both have videos on the topic of 3d printed gear longevity and high speed testing

[@floridamangonwild]

@@tmn2813 with an actual combustion engine tho? Ive seen theyr videos

[@tmn2813]

@@floridamangonwild no one has done it with a internal combustion engine to my knowledge.
Nitro Rc cars RPM in the range of 25,000-37,000
Edward page tested straight cut Unlubricated gears to nearly 40,000 before it exploded.
so I don’t see why it couldn’t be done.

[@DatBlueHusky]

i think you should run fluid in there because it wont be long before it all melts together

[@marcusthegamer348]

When he said "yeehaww"
I felt that

[@stefanguiton]

Great video!

[@waghak27]

I have a suggestion could make a video about how the liquid rotary engine works and where the air goes

[@nejnej4676]

I like your videos, they are creative.

[@christophercain7343]

Try destruction testing it! Put the clutch in the vice, hook the shaft to a drill, and go until it melts

[@CamdenBowen]

Really good Idea actually! it's been collecting dust this whole time anyway...

[@christophercain7343]

@@CamdenBowen really looking forward to this, I’d imagine the video would have the potential to do rather well because people like seeing shit break lol

[@CamdenBowen]

@@christophercain7343Update: Just finished smoking it off lmao, I'm finishing it up now

[@stephenhumble7627]

I suspect the surfaces will partially melt then start gluing together before being completely torn apart.
Is there some way it may be improved by using inserts of a more durable material without making it too hard to manufacture.

[@Salviasmoker]

@@CamdenBowen what happened to the video of you doing it?

[@YourLocalRailfan]

3d printed clutch out out of entirely 3d printed parts

[@sagenbabin8786]

Man whipped out a klx 140 with missing plastics
Based

[@CamdenBowen]

In truth I got it with plastics, but I couldn't get them to fit back on after taking them off so I could fix it ahah

[@sagenbabin8786]

@@CamdenBowen dude I had the same problem with my brothers 140 but such a great bike always starts

[@RonPaul20082012]

It would pair well with fluid coupling and if the clutch was operated hydraulically by a pump and a valve body.

[@roberthawthorne147]

Ive been trying to prototype a small clutch for RC vehicles for awhile. I started pouring silicone molds in order to make resin/sand composites for thd clutch pads, it all failed. Im going to try your hotglue method.

[@peter360adventures9]

Motorcycle has a wet multi plate clutch with friction plates and slipper plates the springs are mounted on the basket of plates. But Awesome.

[@jeromerox9999]

Nah, my ducati has a dry clutch.

[@peter360adventures9]

@@jeromerox9999 And it was noisy too.

[@frzzzdtm]

finally someone actually did this

[@CamdenBowen]

It was one of those projects that's been on my mind for a while lol

[@piousminion7822]

My prediction before the end of the video is that the friction will slip and you'll smell a lot of burning plastic.

[@jackomix]

but will this stop any, hypothetically, gamma ray tanks? 🙂

[@CamdenBowen]

Facts Jacob mix

[@your_fbi_agent311]

I could have swore you made a video on like destroying it. I'm thinking TH-cam removed it.

[@CamdenBowen]

I actually unlisted it, I didn't think the video was very good but I'm thinking of adding it to a playlist of unlisted stuff

[@Earth_Elemental]

LETS GO

[@rickster58]

The hot glue is going to melt

[@kaiyofox]

Broooo, You should put it in a Bike.

[@swliwii2198]

Where's the 4s engine?

[@CamdenBowen]

Still in the works, I decided to make a new project in between
