Prototype bike frame

The first prints are here! Feels amazing. I’m really excited, but I also immediately learned a lesson: don’t go overboard with support material. Most of it wasn’t even needed, and taking it off was a pain. Let’s just say it’s not my favorite workout.

Also, there’s now an official email address: hello@openframe.cc. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. With a proper address I can finally start setting up socials too, to share photos, videos, and timelapses (like the one below).

Today I tried pressing the headset bearings into the frame, but the PLA wasn’t having it… crack. So tomorrow it’s back to the printer for a fresh round. Prototype bike frame
