This jig is sweet. I've created a more beefed up version, which I'll upload to Thingiverse soon, along with my template for STH2 WTR binders. I wish more people would contribute to this badass template/jig, as it makes it a breeze to install new bindings.Quote:

This is super cool! When the pivot jig is figured out, I'll definitely print one upQuote:

Any recommendations for a value oriented 3D printer that would be capable of printing that jig?

I can do it, but no time to make the CAD - Find me a 3D file, cover material and shipping
Need some Jigarex help. Just got some attack plates from tognar. The toe plate looks perfect. The heel plate is way off. Holes are way too far forward and the rear-most set of holes are too close together. The plate is labeled attack, and I don’t think the attack mounting pattern has ever changed - original attack and attack2 use the same pattern I believe. So I’m thinking maybe it’s just a mislabeled plate.
Photos below. Anybody have any thoughts, or recognize the drill pattern as another binding? Little screwed cause I’m trying to mount these today. (Cross posted in Jigarex thread). Toe side is toward the bottom of these photos.

Yeah, that seems off. Back holes are wider than front holes
I ended up using the front plate for the toe piece, which worked perfectly. For the heel I used the paper template and ran it back from boot center. Worked ok, mount was right on. Just annoying. I have at least one more of these Attack mounts to do - hopefully Tognar can get me the right plate. A little worried the whole run is off though.
As an aside, it seemed like the paper template was a little off and would have pushed the boot about +1cm. When I printed it out on 8.5x11 paper it all looked right but the scale on the side didn't measure correctly. I had to blow it up 103% to get the scale right - and that may have been what pushed the toe forward. Seems like maybe the scale on the side is off on the bindingfreedom Attack template? Putting it out here for general knowledge.
I thought we sorted this out in the Minimum & Maximum Boot Sole Lengths thread:Quote:

What BSL are you using?
275. Wife's boot. I used the Wagner template on the bindingfreedom website labeled R4. I'll need to compare it to the min max thread. But when printed to the right scale it pushed the toe piece something like .7cm forward from where the jigarex plate put it, and the jigarex plate resulted in dead nuts boot center matchup.Quote:

Ok, went through it and see that the newer template is a little shorter than the older one. That might explain it, and from now on I'll use Knut's and then double check boot center. Thanks for the heads up - I hadn't read all the way through that thread.Quote:

They were mounted at like, -6 from the line with a pair of maker 8.1 SC (that's select control for the uninitiated) death traps, about which Ski Magazine wrote this nice little piece:
"By manipulating flex, Marker’s Selective Control (SC) shifter transforms a single ski into a quiver.
Position 1 is designed to have little or no influence on the ski’s personality: It gives the ski a free-floating sensation meant for slow speeds, soft snow and moguls, where tips need to float over the bumps.
Position 2, the Logic1’s default setting, is best for everyday use on groomed surfaces. It feels natural and strong, especially at the end of high-speed turns, where the ski slices back out of the fall line with no sense of deceleration. Position 3 is the most powerful setting Marker has ever offered. The edge engagement is incredible. Racers and All-Mountain Experts will click to 3, then mount a search-and-destroy mission on ice and hardpack."
Almost as brilliant as keyhole technology.
Anyways those went in the trash, I moved the plastic 977s off the extremes on to the Merlins, and then the metal-er 977s went on the extremes. I ski the extremes a couple times a year, these Merlins look like they might be a fun spring groomer zoomer.

Seconded on this questionQuote:

The more money you are willing to spend the less fiddly of a printer you will end up with. You can also print at a lot of libraries, but it can be hard to do any sort of involved assembly like that.Quote:

https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ig-(printable)
(my jig that I would argue is a better universal jig, but also isn't entirely printable. If you just want a jig and aren't overly interested in printing send me a message. I have made and shipped a couple dozen of these at $65 + $10 per template set)
I fucked up again. I was rushing and ended up drilling off-center. The holes are less than 1cm away from where they should be. I tried filling in with some JBWeld MarineWeld (claims to be drillable) mixed with chopped up fiberglass mat. When I went to drill the new holes, it just busted through the epoxy. I think maybe there were air bubbles, I tried my best to pack the epoxy in well but it didn't want to stay in with the glass making it thick. Is there any fix for this? I'd rather not go forward or back because l already have the other ski mounted correctly.
YES!Quote:

I successfully taped and used 1/4-20 nylon screws as fillers on such fuck ups. See if you can use the binding and a bushing(hose) on the drill bit to re-drill. Those nylon screws are surprisingly tough.Quote:

Maybe consider a different binding with a hole pattern that doesn’t overlap (if it exists)?Quote:

easiest would be drilling it out, epoxy in hardwood dowel, re-drill, cross fingers
a whole shwack of campers recently suggested it was ok to use only epoxy in holes but as you pointed out its really hard to get the air bubbles out , IMO epoxy is used to hold repair material which IS the machinable part so i wouldn't trust that machinable bs
the original epoxy/ FG hack was possibly mine but that was to fix a spinner, not to drill screw holes into
Heyya - tagging on. I'm mounting up these Redeemers and trying to find a mount that works with the old holes. Is the current consensus still that the new holes needs to be 1 cm away from the old ones CENTER to CENTER? Or is it edge to edge? Center to center works pretty well. Edges will be tough.
I would be alright with center 2 center and I'm the nay sayer around here

Forgot to take the in progress pic but end result came out nicely
Tognar took the old plates back and sent out correct ones, which I got in time for my second set I was mounting with Attacks. Here are the two mounts.
The Whitedots are the ones beaterdit passed along. Thanks man!

I still kind of regret not snagging some Dots when they were the darling of Sierra clearance years back.
Couple of mounts from the last few weeks:
HL C132 with Alpinists
Dynafit blacklight pro with trav gara titans
Used MottN's 3d printed jig which works great, centering is dead on and for touring bindings the heel drops right into the pins without messing with the toe alignment. Recommend if you have a printer. Attachment 451440Attachment 451441Attachment 451442

Need a template for a Look Rockerace heel. Whoever has one, give it up. Two new pair of clamp here that need to mate with some skis
I doubt there is one floating around anywhere since look says they should only be mounted to race plates.Quote:

You can see where I unsuccessfully tried to drill and busted out the epoxy on the upper hole.
STH2, and all of them.Quote:

so I asked buddy if i should move the binding on the other ski and he said don't bother,
when I asked him later how it skied bro sez he ( good skier) could not tell the difference and the fix was good
Recently picked up a pair of minty pow skis on Craiglist, and noticed that the shop (Doc's Ski Haus, which is no more) had stripped a hole when mounting the bindings, so they jammed in a second screw to wedge the first screw in the hole, and never told the guy, lol. He took them heli and cat skiing several times, even a trip to Japan. Wow, glad the ghetto fix held.

I've seen a lot of shit come out of shops but that blows my mind. Going to have to keep that in mind for a mid mission fix lol
