3D printing parts (kickstand foot)

[mbrobich]

Anyone out there scanned the kickstand yet to be able to make a 3d print of a proper foot for the kickstand ?

I made this hardwood block riser as a quick prototype to see if all the dim's and angles were good before I went ahead and carved out an Acetal or maybe aluminum version. But dang, the wood one works surprisingly well.

I found this one and it worked good. I want to reprint it and make the base 3/4 thicker.

It looks good, definitely wider than the stock footprint. But it doesn't appear to be much longer, and that's the biggest problem with the factory supplied part.

You can fix this by drilling and adding a bolt m3 or m4 to the stand so that the bike does not lean as much

I've always thought that fix was a bit sketchy for anything other than perfectly flat, firm and level ground. Especially if you haven't cut off that crazy auto-retract spool.

I've been very satisfied using the "screw stop" mod on the kickstand since I got my Varg in May.
Very simple and effective, it just keeps the kickstand from swinging too far forward and corrects the lean.
Adjustable by adding or removing washers under the screw head.
The foot doesn't sit perfectly flat, but I don't care, the lean is perfect.
I did cut off the crazy auto-retract spool as well.

Yea mine is working a treat can't complain. I agree it's working as advertised.
