Robert, thanks for pointing out Fusion 360! I've been thinking about
simulating the frame for its stability and did not know about Fusion
360. I'm also very curious to see how well the joints will perform
eventually. I would not try this project if it weren't for the videos
about the "PVC and duct tape" python bike on youtube.

Hi Matthias, it's an impressive concept for sure! Just the idea of
using that type of space frame, with
many triangles, is very interesting.
I wouldn't have thought PVC would be strong enough, but who knows.
Did you know that fusion360 is free for non-commercial use? And it has
static simulation which would tell you if the PVC is going to cut it,
strengthwise. Or even will the joint/nodes be strong enough...I have
my doubts about that I think the nodes strength is going to be
critical ...

Hello everyone,
I hope by putting the right subject I can make this message append to
the right thread, since I've not been a member of the mailing list at
that time. I've decided to try to build a python bike using PVC tubing
and joints printed from PETG. I've just created a page in the wiki,
which I hope we can have the discussion at:
http://en.openbike.org/wiki/Printed_Plastic_Python
I'm very much looking forward to a fruitful discussion!
For reference, you can also download the hole OpenSCAD design from

Best regards,
