Personal collective of ideas, thoughts and notes
“Creativity is doing more than the first thing you think of”
Einstellung Effect:. Research shows that the very first idea that comes to mind, even for experts, can prevent us from finding the best solution. Creativity challenges us to go beyond this initial thought.
Another carbon fiber project to design and create a bottle holder for behind the seat. 3D printed mould and used 8 layers of 220g 2K Carbon fiber for the wet layup.

I have had an app idea on my mind for a little while now with this premise: Thanks to laws like GDPR, tech companies are required to provide the ability for their users to download their data. In an effort to ensure I “own” anything I have uploaded to social media, I periodically download my data from platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. The issue with the platforms is that they do not have a standard data format, images properties such as location, their description or even dates they were taken, are not particularly easy to save or import into your local file system. Below is an example of a Instagram export and how the filesystem is structured 🙁
My next foray into Carbon fiber design, tooling and development came with this project. Overall, a reasonable success. Still not perfect, and probably will not be used due to the catastrophic risk associated with riding a bike at 50mph and these breaking, but in theory and practice, a great learning opportunity.
Inspiration
Part 1: Prototyping
Part 2: Design
Fusion 360 for the design work.
Part 3: Tooling/Plug
This consisted of 4 3D printed cubes glued together and then finished with lots of sanding, and an epoxy coat.
Part 4: Version 1
The first version didnt go according to plan, I ran out of Carbon fiber material, and also recognized some layup issues. I decided to finish it anyway, but it was a dud 🙁
If comparison is the thief of joy, context is the redeemer.
I KNOW THE PRICE OF SUCCESS:

DEDICATION HARD WORK,
AND AN UNREMITTING DEVOTION
