Have ordered some today called BikeHand off EBay. Apparently they're designed to accommodate 'toe in'. Will confirm when I get them

From the photos, looks like mine are cheapo copies (they've hiked up the price since I ordered). How closely copied remains to be seen. The blocks won't remain toe-in for long of course.

We'll just have to see buddy? What they say and what we get could be entirely different

Tinkercad anyone? looks like an ideal 3d printer project..

Tinkercad anyone? looks like an ideal 3d printer project..

If I got a 3D printer, the ratio of useless to useful 3D printed objects quickly filling my home would be hundreds:1

 

[thelarkbox]

3d printing services both local and international are available, tinkercad aimed at kids is much less daunting than pro tools.

I wanted to fit some 'smart' light switches but have shallow switch boxes. rather than buy multiple 5mm spacers to extend the switchplate outwards i followed a couple of kids youtube vid on extruding boxes/enclosures and after 5 x rewatches and 20 mins I had my stl files for 15 20 and 25mm switchplate 'spacers' ..

now buying 1 x custom 3d printed brake pad spacer would be EXPENSIVE, but look at filling the buildplate and the unit cost drops.. and if you know someone with a 3d printer, Supplying the stl files is a Very good way to get their help as its the chore aspect

My mates lad who had a 3d printer was keen to just print off my files as he was sick of folk asking him to create stuff after designing it too.

I'll get one free when there's just one online shop and one "Food and other objects as a service" 3D printing subscription available, digital delivery only obvs.

Designing anything in 3D is a right pain, always has been, even when you have or are working with CAD files. New tools are much easier to use than they used to be, and in sharp contrast cheap or free too.

3D printers aren't too expensive. One of the brands had incredible offers last year - about £150 for their £300 one. Even today, you can get a reasonable printer for not much more than £150. They're not too difficult to use either. My one is more or less fully automatic. I just clean the base and press print, though it was more expensive than most at about £1500.

They have arrived and it turns out my cheapos aren't Bike Hand knockoffs, or not obvious ones anyway. I myself don't particularly need "Toe in" but as you can likely see, these are:

Hi fellow Pedelecer's. The Bike Hand brake block setting tool arrived today and I have used them successfully to realign and set the new brake pads. They work a treat. Straightforward and simple to use. No more brake squeal. Recommend these to anyone interested. Thank you all for your kind help & advice!
