Um, just got a cool idea here. I can make the angle of the threaded insert at any angle I feel like, so I could do an angled version for low-space installations. Interest level??

Yea, because of the position of my faucets on my keezer collar, I didn't even think of that as an issue. I've actually got one on display at my awesome LHBS Great Fermentations at their Indianapolis location right now on their sample fridge. They had the same problem, but they've got a...

I will have to try and print one. I wouldn't copy the brewing network hop grenade. That's their design and idea. Even if it wasn't copywrited, I'd still not feel cool about it.

I'm in Indy. What are your chill times on a ~5 gallon batch in the summer and then in the winter with that?

I'm not sure, I haven't tried. How big are you talking?

Sorry everyone! The purchase link I had in my post was not configured properly. I've figured it out and it is working.

I've now got a link on my blog post if you wanted to buy a prototype level tap handle. http://fermware.com/3d-printed-tap-handles/

For all of you asking for STL's or wanting to purchase an already made handle, my best advice is to get subscribed on the blog site for updates. I hope to have some time this weekend to work something out and address on the site. I would like to make STL's available, but also provide some...

Ok, here is the link to my blog post and I've got some pictures to share. http://fermware.com/3d-printed-tap-handles/

Yea, I'd say that the print time for all objects was about 11 hours, with the handle alone taking just over 9 hours.

I got the Flashforge Creator and I am very happy with it. It had the right balance of cost, dual-extruders, reliability, non-proprietary filament and has required me to do a little bit of tinkering that has allowed me to better understand the capabilities 3D printers.

Here is my version 2. And just to be clear, I did not print the entire handle in one shot.

The water, barley, hops and flask symbols were printed separately and the plaque for the side was printed separately. I wasn't sure if the logo would print properly the way I had the print oriented, so I did a separate piece. After the party, I was able to get the logo to print with the main...

Here is my first attempt at a 3D printed tap handle. It held up for our party, but I think I can improve a little on the mechanical strength side of things. I've already got a v2 printing the logo into the handle as one piece, I just don't have pics yet. Edited here for link to full post...

good to see some car guys on here!

I'm in!

I don't know how many other car guys there are on this forum, but this show should be cool. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/16/jay-leno-new-cnbc-series/

I use Beersmith for recipe formulation and I've got some other spreadsheets that I use for brew day and fermentation tracking that I haven't fully cleaned up, but here is what I use to plan my brewing for the year...

I know what I want for Christmas now!!! I'm thinking Crazy Cart Racing League. The possibilities are endless....

I've got my last post up for the storage of Mein Bierwagen. I take the wheels off of it and collapse it into a low profile. Then I store it under my deck until the next Strausstoberfest. Prost! Part 6: Storage of the Bierwagen
