Any Ideas For A Metal Frame/Edges Of An Senton 4*4??

[AlphaBoss]

The original plastic ones are snapped in many places and I need something stronger. Should I upgrade to metal of some sort??

Are you talking about the bumpers? Do you have some pictures? I'm just not sure what your talking about.

 

[AlphaBoss]

Is this explanatory??

I prefer to install razor blades on my edges

Yes, that is the same exact spot where mine broke. It seems that a lot of peoples sentons do that. You can buy the origianal wheelie bar and bumper set for around $9. It would be nice if someone sold like a five pack of just that piece tho. I haven't heard of any upgrades yet tho. I just bought the typhon bumpers because i'm converting my senton to a typhon.

I think that I need something stronger in the front that on the back. Maybe something that is not plastic?

Yeah, I can't think of anywhere that you could get it. You might be able to rig something up tho.

Something stronger will just transfer all of that energy to something else that will break. Instead, you want something softer to absorb the impact, not harder.

I want to say I had seen someone stuff some squishy foam in between the bars to help absorb impacts. Not real sure, and certainly not the most cosmetically appealing fix. Maybe RPM or T-Bone make a better aftermarket bumper solution?

No first hand experience with this model to help otherwise.

3D printer and thingiverse:

I have a printer but can you send me the thingivers link please? Did you use pla or tpu?

I think this will break easily..

I uploaded to thingverse a design that mimics the original design, I haven't tried, but it would be interesting to try to print it with flexible material

I used PETG ... but I imagine TPU would probably work better.

I have been using carbon fiber, easy to print.
