graearea Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I've had the car a week and so I've started making some bits and pieces. so far it's just go-pro rollbar mounts and errrm, bike clamp guides. my next few things are some bike clamp guides so that I can take the bike AND have the roof up. here's them in use:https://www.instagram.com/p/CbUkCLCsA69/they locate the bars of the bike to the rollbar downtubes and then zip-ties(soon to be short ratchet straps) hold the bars to the... bars. version 2 will hopefully allow me to mount them a bit lower and allow the half-hood. the first prototype is printing as I type.anyone else using 3D printing for anything?for my next trick I'm going to try self-cancelling indicators using an accelerometer, a microcontroller and some buttons. anyone know if I can use a mosfet to handle the relay part?

Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 20, 2022 Member Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes, lots of interest in 3D printing and some projects.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 first proof of concept for my self-cancelling indicators.my idea is to have small box on the dash with a switch on it to disconnect it from the indicator switch which it'll be wired into. then two buttons on the wheel with a spiral cable and a decent connector of some kind.

R400svn Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Really like the indicator canceling. I have a system that works on a short timer from when the brake pedal is last pressed but i think your ideal is a better system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I use a clever system that after I have indicated I turn them off with my hand. But then I'm a control freak who disables the self-cancelling on tintops when possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 I can't be relied upon to self cancel. I've caught myself driving down the road with the blinker on a bunch of times. especially easy in a noisy car with the sun behind you.next job is to design the button case and figure out how to cable it from the dashboard.
