I'm starting to make my plans for next year (personal, professional, and avocational) and would like to attend the Southeast conference at the least. Have dates and locations for the regional and national conferences been decided on and released? I looked online and haven't been able to find anything. Thanks!

3D Bicycle Fenders
by eric clough 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Thank you so much for all the responses to my request for information about experience with 3D fenders. I feel like you all have provided me with some very good options. At least a couple of the responses have included a question of why we might be pursuing our own manufacture of fenders. So, I have had to really think about that. But I do believe we have a need for making our own fenders. We rely on donations and fenders are not commonly donated. They are relatively expensive to buy. if we do buy them then it would be tough for us to offer them on low cost/free bikes. I really like the instructables reference provided in one of the responses. The idea of re-purposing a disposable plastic bottle into a reasonable quality bike fender fits our mission just right. My thanks again to all the responses. I find this Thinktank list serve to be a very valuable resource and educational source of information. Eric Clough Front Street Community Bike Works Coos Bay, OR

3D Printed Fenders/Mudgaurds?
by eric clough 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Anyone out there in ThinkTank land have experience with 3D printers and/or ever tried 3D print manufacturing of fenders with such technology? At Front Street Community Bike Works in Coos Bay, OR, we are considering ~$3,000 purchase of specialized tooling to make aluminum fenders. That is a very big investment for us. Then we learned about the potential of using 3D printing to make fenders. We have no experience with 3D printing but the idea intrigues me. Here is a link to a design in "Thingiverse" (love that moniker!). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1695322/comments Seems like the idea has potential and I wonder if it has been done with success anywhere.

One should be mindful that there is Right~Libertarianism (Individualist Anarchism) & Left~Libertarianism (Libertarian Socialism). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anarchism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individualist_anarchism ~Robert R. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 10/25/18, globalguy <globalguy(a)gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [TheThinkTank] Contents ofThethinktank Digest, Vol 145, Issue 13 To: cheerfulharmony(a)yahoo.com, "The Think Tank" <thethinktank(a)lists.bikecollectives.org> Date: Thursday, October 25, 2018, 6:47 PM And when you read it without those two words, it sounds positively Libertarian.
