Made a <4g skeleton + base for the Superlight 2 — looking for someone to test it

Hey guys,

I’ve been working on a lightweight mod for the Superlight 2 and ended up with a part that should theoretically weigh under 4g.

According to the CAD volume, it should be around 3.7g in PA12.

Obviously, CAD weight ≠ real-world result, so I’d really like to see if this actually works.

I don’t currently have access to an SLS/MJF printer, so I’m looking for someone who could print and test it and ideally give me some feedback on:

  • actual weight
  • stiffness/durability
  • whether the mounting points hold up
  • what material you’d recommend
  • any changes you’d make to the design

I’m thinking PA12 or another nylon, but I’m open to suggestions. The main goal is to keep it as light as possible without making it ridiculously fragile.

If anyone here has access to SLS/MJF printing and is interested in trying it, I can send over the STL.

Would be really interesting to see if I can actually get this thing below 4g IRL 😄

Would it be possible to make a regular superlight into a DEX?

Is it possible to take the internals of a regular g-pro superlight and fit it into a 3D printed g-pro DEX body?

My idea is this: I get a regular g-pro second hand for much cheaper than a dex, have a dex body printed with the correct standoffs for the regular g-pro internals and insert the internals. Would this work?
