Engine hose retaining clips

Broke these clips when installing the AOS. Really struggled to find a part number or anywhere to order.

Redesigned the clip to be better suited for FDM printing, added a double hose variant, and made it a swivel mount. Really pleased with the result. No more cable ties!

Edit: should have specified that I used white ASA so the pictures would turn out better. I’ve swapped out with my favorite PPA-CF Core from SirayaTech.

Fridge door bin repair

Fridge door bin was cracked and the previous renter tried repairing it. New one was $50+, so instead I used my $5000 scanner and $1000 printer to make perfectly fitting repair patch for the sides and a simple plate for the bottom for $3 in filament. Used plastic epoxy to attach them and we're all good!

Wabi Special Complete Build

Have been out of the fixed gear game for almost a decade, previously riding a Kilo TT frame. Was encouraged to not have yet another project for me to work on, so looked for a shop that would do the complete build.

Wabi Cycles came up again and again for the Reynolds 725 steel tubing. Spec'd out the Wabi Special with everything you see here (minus YNOT pedals, AssSaver fender, and lights). Gotta say, this thing is awesome.

Shipped in 10 business days, the quality of the build is incredible, and it's so so buttery and responsive. Just needed to attach the handlebars, front wheel, pedals. Have absolutely no complaints other than I should've done this so long ago.
