      Nice!

      I have 2 people testing sets of brackets to make sure they function perfectly. I expect to be ready to start selling sets in about a week.

      Thanks for the interest!

        Unfortunately my cowcatcher wasnt ready yet and I wont be able to grab it for a while. The brackets look great but will be sitting in the box for a while now...

          Do you have an estimate on what the price will be. I also have a cow catcher ready to be installed

            Glad they arrived safely! And no rush.
            I've made a couple recent printing adjustments which will result in sturdier brackets, so I can send you a couple even stronger ones if you'd like.

            Shangsta, it's likely going to be a little north of $60 for a set of three shipped.

                Great news guys!

                I have a couple sets ready to ship out to you!
                I can print brackets in white or black, so please let me know which you'd prefer. Otherwise I'll default to black.

                Please PayPal me $60 without fees, or $65 with fees, to zephyrpitre@gmail.com

                This will cover shipping of 3 brackets to your door. If you have issues caused by the design or manufacture of the brackets, we will get you replacements, or if you prefer you will be refunded.

                Looking forward to seeing photos of your mounted valences!

                                For future batches you might want to consider not making these out of PLA. PLA is hygroscopic and becomes brittle over time, its particularly susceptible to breaking when under load for an extended period of time.

                                You'll notice if you load a PLA spool and leave it for a year or so, it just starts breaking apart between the spool roll and the extruder.

                                Use PETG instead, it'll print as easily as PLA (slightly hotter extruder and heated bed if available), but the end result will be be a part that should last a very very long time.

                                Consider PLA is used for biodegradable cups (bad relationship with moisture), and PETG is used for bottling for softdrinks (good relationship with moisture).
