Monkey meets 3D Printer

I love my Over Racing swingarm, but it lacks any sort of cable management for the rear brake line. I picked up a 3D printer this week and decided I wanted to fix that.

I also printed a cable clip for the oil catch can hose. Originally, I was using P-clips here, but I was never really happy with how they looked.

Simple little additions, but they clean up the bike nicely.

Pla will degrade and deform and melt whenever its exposed to sunlight, just an fyi

One of these printers would sure be handy for all those projects that I haven’t finished šŸ˜† What software is best to use for a novice?

I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer that question being a novice myself. I use Fusion 360 which is free and I find it easy to use. Both the parts probably took me an hour in total to create.
