Stiff and progressive Begode shock insert, air chamber volume reducer Master ,T4

By reducing the internal air chamber volume in the stock Begode shock you can achieve almost the same result as installing custom linkages and expensive shock (budget for which can go over 1k USD).

I found this idea from the Instagram user @euczero and modelled this simple insert for the Stock Shock.

Runs very good. At this point I don't see any need to upgrade with new linkages and shocks. Impressive how big is the difference.

So far tested on master and T4.
let me know if you can install it for ex30 master pro. Shock should be the same.

The main model is 23 ml volume insert.
if you are a lightweight rider and 23ml is too much for you (you want it just slightly stiffer and progressive) you can use

TPU A98 recommended 100% infill
Use highest possible temperature for your filament (follow the manufacturer recommended max) - to make sure no delamination will occure during the use.
Post printing: very important to Cut out all oozes on the print, take a turbo lighter and melt any small strings. Make sure the print is absolutely clean and nothing will fall off it inside the shock.

Installation:
1. Remove stock shock
2. Unscrew large top head (will need two wrenches or wrench and bench vise). Make sure you don't touch internals of the shock much to avoid removing lubricant.
3. lower the piston to get enough room for the insert
4. Position the insert in the way so air channel is pointed towards the shock valve.
5. Click in the insert
6. Assemble everything back.
7. If you have any shock oil, remove the valve and some oil (optional)
8. Enjoy strong and progressive suspension!

If you worried that insert will be touching and hitting inside the shock - don't worry. Stock Linkages don't utilize full travel of the shock. There is a lot of room and with this insert its not even close to touch anything.
