Design it so that the release mechanism is just the binding exploding. Print in different thicknesses for different release values. Also no brakes. Brakes are dangerous.
KevenI am trying to 3d print my own binding prototype for a school project. Anybody know where to start?
I'm guessing this is for a high school elective class and the point is to learn some CAD basics and how to use a 3D printer? I like the enthusiasm but this project idea might be a little overzealous. Maybe just find some old bindings from a thrift store and see if you can take them apart and model the pieces in CAD. Look for something with the simplest geometry.
Your best bet is to invent your own “bindings” with whatever CAD software you are using by measuring your ski boots with calipers and getting the dimensions and then modeling the bindings so they would have a bit of wiggle room.
these bindings would purely be cosmetic but would be fun to design
ASSholebomber22Upvoted for ski bindings
Downvoted for guns and drugs
look i absolutely wanna see everyone's homemade bindings, drugs, and especially guns (can you rename the thread, OP?), but personally i don't want any of my body parts, brain included, to explode so i'm leaving these 3 to the pros
Ok thank you for all the feedback, I didn't intially plan to ride these bindings, but after all of your encouragements I think I will slap them onto some 2x4s and go f up my acl.
Research some materials like PEEK or Polycarbonate filament and see if you can 3D print those materials because most common materials like PLA, PETG or ABS would likely be nuked if they were actually tested. Also work on how to design assemblies and evaluate their critical tolerances and how to 3D print the parts so the assembly fits as desired.
skiermanIf you're a lazy piece of shit that prefers shitty-looking floors, sure.
Never heard of quarter round huh? Well maybe if we can get together sometime this week, we could go over how useful quarter round is when you put in a floating floor :)

It also makes sense in certain cases when you have nice but extremely old floors and you install new trim, since the original flooring does not terminate cleanly at the existing wall line. I just did this in my old ass house. Looks quite nice actually, but the quarter round should match the trim, not the floor IMO
u dumb idiots the kid said he wanted to make a prototype binding as a school project he didnt say he was going to mount and ride them man u are all so dumb

OP edited his post, before it said he plans to use the homemade bindings at the Kitzbuhel DH race this year

PEEK is really expensive and mainly used for high temperature applications. Do a fiberglass or carbon filled ABS.
Geometry is just as important as material choice, too
