When a simple idea comes to life on the track

One of the best things about my job is this: I don't just ship 3D-printed parts... I ship ideas that end up directly on karts, to help those who, like me, are passionate about this wonderful sport.

A few days ago, I received this message from a customer after assembling one of my components:

"Hi, I received the parts. Thank you for the gift. Great product.

 If I may give you some advice: please note that 3.5 mm wide cable ties are needed (for example, I have 2.5 or 4.5 mm ones, which are the most commonly used).

 And another tip: you could also include just one part, i.e., the piece where the two cable ties go, so that it can also be used in places where it doesn't normally fit.

 I put the shortened one between the water pump and the seat attachments on the engine side and one on the front crossbar under the seat where the gear lever is attached."

Reading words like these makes up for all the hours spent designing, printing, testing, and redoing.

 Not only for the “excellent product” (which is always a huge pleasure 😄), but above all for the practical advice from those who really live karting, on the track and in the workshop.

3D printing serves precisely this purpose.

The beauty of 3D printing applied to karting is that there is no such thing as a “definitive” part.

Every piece of feedback is an opportunity to:

• improve a component

• make it more versatile

• create new solutions based on existing ones

The fact that this customer managed to fit the part in difficult areas such as between the water pump, seat, front crossbar, and gear lever is exactly why I came up with this project.

One of the main advantages of flexible swabs is that they can be cut in the middle to be placed in less accessible areas that are nonetheless very important to protect.

We don't just sell parts here. We build solutions.

Every message, every photo, every piece of advice goes straight into the development process. New versions, more efficient variants, clearer assembly instructions... this is how they are created: on the track, not at a desk.

A big thank you to everyone who chooses my products, assembles them, tests them, and writes to me. It is also thanks to you that this small 3D printing workshop continues to grow, evolve, and improve.

If you are also using one of my components on your kart, write to me. The next evolution could start with your message 🏁🔥

Many thanks to Fabio B. for the photos and the message ❤️
