When Pademelon started SIDE QUEST as a secondary brand under the Pademelon name, their goal was simple: design and 3D print specialized parts and accessories to solve very specific trail-side problems. But lately, the Australian brand that’s known for its Steering Damper<\/a> has come across another problem, and today, they open their digital vault to solve it.<\/p>\n

It seems that riders who are outside of Australia are getting nailed with crazy international shipping fees when ordering SIDE QUEST products. In their words, “Spending $15 AUD on a smart, protective component makes perfect sense – but spending double or triple that amount to fly a lightweight piece of TPU across the world does not<\/em>.” <\/p>\n

To solve that problem, SIDE QUEST opened its digital vault. So you can now purchase and download their proprietary STL fabrication files straight from their site.<\/p>\n

Open the Digital Vault<\/h2>\n

SIDE QUEST has been receiving a lot of requests to release their digital fabrication files. The brand had never even thought about opening up its proprietary files to share. <\/p>\n

Physical products have always been their thing, so it never occurred to them. After a few customers asked about buying the files, they started setting up an infrastructure to help deliver clean digital assets. <\/p>\n

What About Pricing?<\/h2>\n

SIDE QUEST wanted to be direct when they talked about the pricing. They know these files are not cheap, and they are not free. They also know that there are a lot of riders who expect 3D print files to be open-source. <\/p>\n

But the shapes of the SIDE QUEST parts represent extensive product development time including real-world testing on the rowdiest trails in Tasmania, which spawned several design iterations.<\/p>\n

So, SIDE QUEST wants you to know that when you purchase a file, you are paying for the engineering expertise that ensures the part actually works when the trail gets rough. That’s fair.<\/p>\n
