This time last year I used Shapr to design and machine a taillight for my chopper.  
We exported the design as a STEP to Feature CAM to make a tool path.  
It was a fun and rewarding thing to see a design on Shapr become a functional part on my motorcycle.

I’ve been using AR preview to visualize part designs as well, which is REALLY cool.

Looks fantastic. I would probably consider adding a weep hole and coat the hell out of the PCB.

The led boards are waterproof, but I also sealed the housing.

Beautiful work AND one of the rare examples of something actually, physically created using shaper.

@Ting much appreciated. There’s a lot of people making parts from their Shapr designs. 👍🏻

Very nice bike!! I’m building a pan/shovel and looking forward to designing a few parts for it. Great looking build man!

@CrayForm rad! Have any pics?  
And thanks, the wheel project actually became a reality last weekend, I’ll be posting it up once it’s finished. Hopefully lacing it up tomorrow 👍🏻
