3D Printing BMX Grips

Leave a Comment

Jonny Lee is back with the 3D printed magic… This time he 3D prints molds for BMX grips!

Over the past year, Jonny Lee has been experimenting with 3D printing different BMX parts. Today he dropped a video showing us how he made his own BMX Grips by 3D printing his own mold. This video shows you how the mold was made, minus the CAD drawing part that he usually shows in his videos, along with some footage of him riding with the grips. Hit play and take a look!

If you think that was cool and want to see some other 3D printed parts that he has made, check these out…

“This took a lot longer to make then I had anticipated! I’ve wanted to make custom BMX grips for a while, I finally got it figured out so here you go! They turned out great and I have every ambition to keep riding them for the foreseeable future, encase you were wondering.
Let me know in the comments what you want to see next!” – Jonny Lee
