Work in progress, but I'm printing up a few SRAM eTap AXS battery blocks for some racers who race a geared bike in the SSCX Race.

That's pretty cool! Are you going to paint them or leave them black?

Either print them in a different color once the design is finalized. I can also print in 2 colors so the raised letters can be a different color as well.

3d printer to the rescue once again. I need to ship some hydro levers/calipers that required me to cut the line to remove. Anyone who has shipped hydro stuff knows that the lines are kind of tricky to cap off, no matter if it's DOT or Mineral Oil. Tape doesn't want to stick, so I fired up the 3D printed and made some caps with plugs.

5mm outer diameter with a 1.4mm plug

This one is timely. Appreciate the solution as the sram plugs I’m using in my shimano hoses still leak a bit.

5 minute design, 10 minute print and I now have a solution for removing old SRAM Barb/Olives from their hoses without forcing me to cut them.

Success today with this crude 2 piece clamp, but a lifesaver on an internally routed bike (Tarmac SL7) and $100 hoses.

Basically, clamp this on the hose, use the T8 key to unscrew the whole thing (Barb + Olive). I clipped the very end of the hose off to get a fresh end to work with, but its better than losing a few centimeters.
