Fascinating experiment, and very enjoyable video ! :) I gotta say though - and no disrespect at all to the attempt, but ultimately I could not trust these as anything but the most temporary of replacements while I ordered some new metal ones ! There is a reason that every single commercially manufactured EUC uses metal pedals, and I suspect these plastic ones simply won't hold up to the daily rigours of EUC riding, especially if that riding involves any jumps, bumps, off-roading or falls. Plastic infamously goes brittle over time when exposed to sunlight, and I worry that the inherent strength of printed plastic like this, regardless of which way the layers are going is just not strong enough or durable enough to fulfil the extreme conditions and amount of vibration and weight support that EUC pedals have to endure. I can also imagine just how horrible the crash might be if one of those pedals suddenly snaps off during riding ! Try as I might, I can't avoid the conclusion that EUCs, on the whole, have already got enough fail points and ways things can go dramatically wrong, and using plastic parts for the most critical weight-bearing functions of the unit is 'risky biscuits' to a whole new level !
great job, I have been molding for years both in FDM and in Resin, maybe building the platforms with resin printer using the excellent "Siraya Tech Blu" you would have a much higher mechanical resistance, maybe I'll try :-) have you the STL files ?
Hello, I appreciate the content and I have some hopefully constructive feedback: The quality is good enough to me but I was missing the context to understand what you are trying to archive. I had to Google what "EUC Pedals" are. Your intro is good but soooo zoomed in that I didn't understand what was going on, for a while I thought it was about motocycles. I few stable wider shots on a tripod would have been a big plus to me. CZcams got me there because I watch 3d print content. Hope it helps, cheers!
Thank for the feedback. its kind of about motorcycles... Just a different kind. Cool the crossover between EUC community and 3Dprinter community content. My 2 interests at the moment. now you have watched the 1st video. there is 3 in the series now.
Whohoo fantastic work! I hope that it can work out in the end, super excited to maybe print pedals later 😃 Yes makes sense to print in this orientation for maximum strength. What filament are you using during prototyping? I see you're printer in a chamber on what looks like a Voron, at pretty high speed. Is it ABS? (from the fact it's getting white under stress) I'm guessing nylon (Nylon 6 like the Nylonnove) might work well later, maybe even cf-nylon? Thanks for documenting your efforts too, I'm very much looking forward to the updates.
Prototyping with ABS because it's easy to print and very cheap and pretty damn strong. Just discovered the 8mm pins on the Sherman hangers are very short so a longer pin will make it even stronger
@@jc84com ah yes it makes a lot of sense to prototype in ABS, so you can tell visually when it's failing, and it's not snapping like a more brittle plastic would. Yeah using an elongated pin would be a clever hack to distribute the force over more material, reducing the moment I guess. It would be absolutely reasonable to set as requirement pins to be 2x the original length, if it's something that can be sourced without too much issues. Otherwise I think Inmotion pins might be the longest.
@@supercurioTube I do have some InMotion pins about that I will be using for next revision3. Have another 2 days to printing to get there first. and i still to test these revision2 yellow versions.
Hi, glad you like. Thankyou. The full plastic pedals are pretty risky, However the 18th revision of the combo plastic and steel combo have proven to be really stable. Eventually they will end up on my store EUC.jc84.com

Hell yeah 👍. This is awesome 👍.
Thanks for sharing this process.
✌️ Keep it wheel ✌️

Love your work jules
Awesome 😎

Wow they look good good make dude
Thankyou
More videos about them coming soon,
@@jc84com can,t wait dude

I really think nylon may work. Very interested to see
@@jtm94 ABS and PETG pedals work excellent. i've done over 1000km on them now. They are insanely good. alot better than I expected.
Curious about the Printer that you used?!
voron2.4 open source printer
@@jc84com Okay, thanks
Can I get the stl?
