very smart and cool use of 3D printed parts to assemble your jig... but the point of the jig is also to keep warping to a minimum while you are welding the frame. If you remove the frame from the jig to weld it then that doesn't help much. in the future, if you decide to reproduce this frame you could use those 3D printed parts to create molds and cast those jig parts in aluminum
You are absolutely right. Jigs have many purposes, even some rotate to facilitate reaching hard places when welding. This build is very minimalistic about the tools used and it has tradeoffs. TIP: if you tack weld this design based on triangles (kind of trellis frame) the warping will be acceptable. Your idea of aluminum molds from 3dprints is good and may try it someday. Thanks!
Exactly. The frame is designed in CAD (Autodesk Inventor), the jig pieces are easy to create using solid operations. A cube - frame tube = jig piece. Thanks for appreciating my work :)
Para esta pieza utilizo tubos 7/8 de pulgada de 2mm de pared. Todos los materiales que uso estan listados en este documento de OpenOffice github.com/eroldan/OpenEMoto/blob/master/BOM.ods
For this project, the sticker cuts PDFs are located here github.com/eroldan/OpenEMoto/tree/master/MainFrame/Cuts . If you ask about the method to generate those, I should make a video someday. I can tell you that with CAD (Autodesk Inventor) I make a boolean operation between the two tubes to generate a "surface" that then is exported and "unwrapped" with a program called Pepakura Designer (intended to crate Papercraft). Inventor 2020 comes with this feature but I've not tested it yet. czcams.com/video/Dlye9bYkVF0/video.html
Hi! It is phosphoric acid aka "rust remover". Not essential but will remove the rust in the inside of the tube which may ease the TIG welding afterwards.
Really cleaned up your workspace since last time I checked in! Looking great brother don't stop get it get it
Thanks for taking your time documenting all this. I plan to build something similar in the future.

Amazing work!!!
Do you 3d print the supports/jigs for your frame work?
Fantastic work, very inspiring btw!

@@OpenEmoto You're welcome :)
Any chance you share the STL files ?
Can you please do a vedio for vector bike frame.....
Hola me podrías decir por favor qué tubos utilizaste? Excelente trabajo, muchas gracias por compartirlo. Gio

where do you get the patterns for the tube end cuts??????

@@OpenEmoto Yes please...…..
@@OpenEmoto Yes please make a video of your cad process it would be of great interest. Thank you for the Great content.
What is the green liquid you put the steel tubes on?
Hi! It is phosphoric acid aka "rust remover". Not essential but will remove the rust in the inside of the tube which may ease the TIG welding afterwards.
hey man! What bearings did you use for the swing arm?
This swingarm and the rear wheel hub (in other video) use the very common and cheap 10x30x9 bearing: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0716NGDBR
@@OpenEmoto Thanks!
Where are you from? nice job
Thank you! I'm from Canelones, Uruguay
