The project started with the long centering pin version. It's REALLY frustrating trying to install spoke nipples through a double walled rim using an unmodified flat head screwdriver. Once I realized how effective my modified nail worked I thought why not make a copy of the Park Tools nipple driver as well. Plus I didn't have to wait like 4 days for it to arrive in the mail. After completing the project I learned about the HSB-1 from BSC Tools which has an adjustable length centering tip. It costs $55. This was a fun project, and it was pretty easy. But it took several hours. DIY or buy? You can't put a price on fun. I just wanted to do this, so I did.
Nice work, thanks for the idea, I have a couple of wheels to lace up too, not a real fan of the way that Bambu Lab printer printed the parts though?? was it wet PETG? Very stringy and rough.
Ha ha ha! Busted. The actual frustration of trying to use a flat screwdriver for the task is hard to communicate visually. So I resorted to visual exaggeration. "There must be a better way."
Works fantastically. Especially for a gravel bike. 60 mm of travel with coil springs, zero stiction and oil dampening. I extended it at the tips so that it can receive these 650B wheels. Same weight as the current offering from rock shocks at similar travel lengths.
Park makes a similar tool, but this is a great DIY project!

That's an awesome little tool! Never have I known a 3D pen could be useful.
Nice little speed handle.
A piece.of wood or brass would have done similiar job and acted as your bearing, so no need to glue your handmade straight blade safety bit into it.
You should print a base for that TS-2, the ones park makes now are disappointing
Could have done it with my hands quicker
That may well come in handy. I need to rebuild a wheel soonish. 👍
I that primitive bike tools channel?
Maybe stay inside and watch you tube 😊
Turn on captions for explanations.
Epoxy putty would be much stronger than hot melt glue. Takes much longer to cure though.
That's a 3D printer pen spitting out PLA plastic. It's not hot glue. Epoxy wood be stronger but this works too
You have bad hand skills lol 😊
Well that was pointless 😊
Looks like someone from an infomercial trying to use that screw driver ;)
The custom tool does look like it would work much better.

3d printed ukulele background music?
Nice Retro MTB. Does AMP still works ??? I'm Big fan of that weirdo forks 😅

@@DesignPrototypeTest I Agree and everything in so tiny package, just look at that damper !!!
Did you try to use the Spoke Tension tool for the 3d printer belt? Might you have to modify the spring.
Great to see you're using rhinoceros I am learning it now v6 with grasshopper.
Nice spoke spindy thingamajig.
That's a pretty wild looking fork! What is that and how much travel?
Amp Research from the 90s. 60mm travel 2.2lbs but I modified it (lengthened it) so it weighs a little more now.
NICE ! I always wondered what one could ever do with a 3D Print Pen. Brilliant 👍👍😎👍👍
Definitely get one. If you do functional prints. I use It constantly to weld prints together.
Old School!
Loved it
That is some seriously damp filament I'm guessing
All my filament is like this. I live with the southern tip of Illinois. Humidity is a way of life.
@@DesignPrototypeTest 😥 Makes me feel lucky being in the Sourth East of England
It's like a handheld speed-driver. Nice!
Wordless workshop :D Well done!
Nicely done.
