Cool, did see this before but forgot completely about it. As long as i can put enough vectors for the core profile (lets say every 5 to 10 cm) im totally fine. Will try it out @twizz: yes i know that solidworks is total overkill ... did look into beam equations but got stuck ... not enough basic the...

Better you get a cis system or refillable cartridges. Always cheaper to buy ink in bottles then in cartridges. Dont know with the T3200 (just have the 7600) but look into modifying the ink waste tank (an 7600 drill a hole in the waste tank, put a tube in and the tube into a bottle fixed to the print...

Thanks, i have this spreadsheet already. Youre limited (without hacking) to these params, so just trapezoid cores Tip Thickness 3 mm Mount Thickness 9,5 mm Tail Thickness 3 mm Tip Start 710 mm Mount Start 200 mm Mount End 200 mm Tail Start 710 mm Im looking into solidworks right now, but this would ...

core profile simulation
Is there an easy program to simulate bending of profiles (core profile)? Would like to experiment a little bit with different profiles /trapez/concave/convex) without cutting up too much material (other problem is my limited access to the profiler i use). I know theres stuff like mathlab and so on ....

So generally speaking for a nice carving ski with good grip on ice a smaller abs is better (lets ignore the ski flex now, just edge related) but for a more forgiving / easier to repair edge a wider abs is a good idea (powder ski). The ABS breaks on high impact, but its easier to replace then a smash...

I did cut up the destroyed ski right now (a production model), the sidewall was only 4mm wide so the edge material was halfway above the wood core (which was badly damaged too). So there are 3 ways to do the sidewalls / edges ... Just a matter of taste or do you see any advantages / disadvantages? h...

Edge / ABS
Thinking about the width of the sidewall. Many people here seem to make it 8-10mm wide. On some skis where i destroyed the edge i could see that the ABS was the same width like the edge (see upper drawing). Sometimes the core gets a hit too... Im not sure if its preferable to make the ABS a little b...

@chrismp: Which wattage did you order? still thinking if its usefull to use a 4kw blanket for sublimation AND pressing. With a good controller and enough heatsink it should be possible. One the other hand ... with these prices... But maybe we should continue in a new thread ;) P.s. first post and ha...
