Love the first design @Addryn, I'd say spray paint would be fine. I know people use different coloured plastic to do the designs so you already have a base colour on it already, if you have different colours that is?
I have just black and white filament. Going to buy more colours but not now
Recently purchased a 3d printer and here's my first item which I really like. Luckily, there are a lot of models of it, and I didn't have to create it myself. But this is the next step of this hobby for me
Who knows, what are the best paints for it? I was thinking about spray paint, but not sure it would go with this plastic
- Get a saddle bag, always handy to hold a spare tube
- Make sure you have a pump which will pump up a schrader valve
- Enjoy it, keep it clean, keep it well lubed
Cleaning: Fine to use fairy liquid and warm water. Then rinse with normal water.
Lubrication: Small moving parts - buy some GT85 and spray in small amounts to prevent rust. Large parts get some good quality Muk-off grease.
Make sure you don't get any lubricants on those discs though!! If you do then you'll just need some alcohol rub to keep them clean.
Also, I have a bee on my bonnet about saddle height. Don't make your saddle too high, when you extend your leg on the pedal your heel should be able to reach the pedal. Seat posts which are too high cause feet, leg, hip, back, everything pain.
Other than that, ride it like you stole the Tomasso!
Great advice about the saddle! This thing is very important for comfort ride. For several years I rode on a high saddle, and I thought that it should be so! ..
