Description: Presenting one of my first forays into 3D-printed metal. I built this frame a few years ago to test the possibilities that 3D-printed AlSi10Mg aluminum offers. All the lugs are printed and epoxy-joined to prepreg-wound carbon tubing. The handlebars are another experiment - the stem and bar ends are 3D-printed 316L stainless steel, and the tubes are custom fiber-wound tubes. Although the bike was supposed to be a test mule, it has become my daily.
