plates and risers

Do you know better plates with more lift? I'm in europe market!

Check out this website: https://beta.carver.si/snowboard_plate_systems

The have the best plate systems. 

I am starting to experiment with 3d printed riser plates out of different plastics. The main idea was, to have a center plate that will take the main compression in the center of the binding an have some quite rigget ABS plastic to have the binding mounted without play coming from softer stuff.

As a complete rigget riser will probably influence the flex of the board, I chose a TPU rubber like material for the outer riser pad. This also allows me to adjust the compression flex by the infill I use. These holes give me the opportunity to create special pressure areas, where I did not want any compression flex of the riser but also be able to go with the natural flex of the board. 

The two component setup also allows to adjust the binding angle by turning the Riser around the center piece. 

This one is made for my old Flow M11 shape, now I am making one for the NX2 GT. The high should only be limited by the standoffs you can get.

I am also wondering how to implement some canting angles, as the angle of the screws will always be effected and tilted.

Let me know if you guys like the idea and where you think will be the limits.

Love the idea!

Where did you get the standoffs?  I had to have mine made custom, they are 13mm.

For canting you will need an interface disk because the binding screws are no longer perpendicular to the board.  Check these out: https://carversconnection.com/community/postid/1609/

The standoffs are just from amazon (germany) as I needed them quickly for some impatient tests. They are just brass and the threads are a litte on the long side but if you measure the threat depth on the snowboard you should be save. I also found several shops to order them online out of steel, stainless steel in almost any length. These are just 10mm for the first tests.

also these in 15mm might fit for the next step

As they all come from some Chinese distributor, they should be available in North America, too.

I just saw the massive cnc milled canting angle adapters you used with the two component riser plates. Very nice 😉 There ist probably no other way to get these angles between the "screwing axis". 

Here are some pics to show how the internal structure could look like, to achieve the desired flex but also pressure resistance. The shape fits the nx2gt quite nicely, i think.

@t-jung Wow!  Thank you!  I searched for these in the summer but found nothing!

I'm gonna order a batch later, gotta go shred first...
