3D model description

This is my take on a popular electric unicycle powerpad / jump pad. Why pay a hundred+ when you have access to a 3D printer? You might even want to change your color scheme up at some point, DIY gives you the power(pad).

Design Features:

  • Variable radii along both throttle and brake pads to maximize shin & calf-to-pad comfort and control
  • Minimizes thickness without sacrificing durability to not noticeably increase overall EUC shell (stance) width
  • Flat along bottom of throttle plug surface to aid in pedal retention without need of magnets if throttle pad is oriented accordingly
  • Provides greatly increased protection of the EUC shell in wrecks and slides
  • Throttle plugs are friction fit parts, no epoxy necessary
  • Scalable parts (in Slicer) if buyer wants to experiment with size

Requirements:

  • Requires flat surfaces to attach to.
  • Highly recommended to install with adhesive hook-and-loop material. I use the Strenco brand. I advise against using Velcro brand hook-and-loop due to it's weaker holding capability.

What you get with purchase:

  1. 3 STL files (mirror parts in your slicer program for opposite hand)
  2. PDF Document detailing printer recommended part orientation and printer settings

Note: The last 2 pictures shows the condition after a long season of aggressive trail use. While I'm not suppose to care about what happens to the "protective bits," I think it's great that not only did the shell ended up very well protected after all the wrecks (see my YouTube channel if you're interested in checking out some of my ride videos for the timestamped crash footage), but the TPU pads barely show any wear at all (compared to the black ASA plugs pictured). It's truly a well-suited material for this application.


If you have a Begode RS19, MSP, or MSX, you might consider purchase of the following 3D-printed mods intended to provide a Complete Wheel Protection Solution:


3D printing settings

Throttle and brake pads should be printed in TPU 95A, and it is recommended that the throttle plugs print in a tougher engineering filament such as ASA or ABS. See attached PDF document for printer settings and other details with purchase.
