This is a quick and easy mod to convert the Honda Motocompacto standard thumb-operated throttle into a twist-grip throttle just like a standard motorcycle!
You will need some actual metal hardware:
- 2X 6706-2RS Ball Bearings (30x37x4mm) (I got like 10 of them on Amazon for less than $20)
And that's it! Everything else is 3D printed including the circlips that hold the bearings in place!
Note: YOU WILL HAVE TO CALIBRATE YOUR PRINTS TO THE BEARINGS. THEY SHOULD BE TIGHT BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL ONTO THE PLASTIC PARTS. THE CIRCLIPS MAY BE TOO THICK TO FIT INTO THE GROOVES; YOU CAN SCALE THEM AS THICK OR THIN AS YOU NEED IN YOUR PREFERRED SLICER.
The scaling that worked for me to get the ABS printed parts to match the model dimensions are as follows:
- X/Y = 101.25%
- Z (along axis) = 100.4%
The fit on the metal handlebars should be snug, but still manageable. I used a half-round file to clean up the inside of the base part - especially around the seam - and it went onto the handlebars perfectly.
I've also included the FreeCAD files as well in case you really really can't calibrate the parts in your slicer or if you want to improve on the design.
