Sorry for the long wait
Here is the top tube being printed.
Here are all the core parts glued together and mounted in my low-tech jig. The HT, BB, and seat cluster were printed from plastic mixed with carbon fiber for some added strength.
Here's the final result. It doesn't look great, but it rides pretty well and was a great learning experience
A lot of the lessons I learned building this bike have helped me with deigning and working on my current project I'm working on.
