Hello fellow fingerboarders    I am here today to introduce you to my new fingerboard company: Micaso.
I offer inexpensive 3D printed decks that are completely customizable upon request.
Yes, I said completely customizable.  (In standard/possibly old school shapes only, within reason.)
I have spent countless hours mastering 3D CAD programs, and have had nearly 50 failed prototypes, so I have a good amount of experience with this.
All I need for dimensions is:
Wheelbase, Nose and Tail length, Width, Nose and Tail angles in degrees, and what kind of concave you would like.  
I can even engrave simple graphics/words into the decks if you want.
I can also make square decks for DIY bondo molds (suggested by a smart user).
I will send pictures of the model before I start making it so you know exactly what you are getting.
Currently I can only make decks in the following colors: Blue, Semi-transparent Yellow, and Semi-transparent purple. What color would you guys like to see?
I am not set on prices yet, I need some feedback on what would be fair.  
(And feedback in general)

Here is some samples of what I have done so far







Thanks for looking  
I will be posting new things on a regular basis, so please return  

Pretty cool stuff man. Im curious to see how they pop/feel for grinds and slides/ in general. Its cool how you can customize length, width, etc. Have you tested out putting grip on the decks. Screwing in trucks. Etc?

Looking forward to some new stuff! An idea to go with the square decks could be a normal shaped template to go with it. Like the same concave and kiks but actually the size of the deck you want to produce. Could be cool.

this is cool, if the price is low then id be tempted to grab one, its cool having been able to totally customise the size and shape, i think id pay about £7 for one at the most   

solid white decks could be fun! i could do some amazing sharpie art lol

Yeah, that's what I'm working on with him. He's making me a square deck, and a normal one. Gonna use the normal one as a template, and maybe even set it up too haha. So nice because you can make an inexpensive mold to the exact dimensions you want! Props to Micaso for making this company!

Keep going man! You're doing a good job!

i was waiting for someone to come up with an idea like this. i feel like it definitely has a lot of promise

sounds very interesting.
dumb question, are those plastic decks when u create them in a 3d printer?

Yeah I have a few set up right now with foam tape and the pop is pretty great, although I haven't had much experience with wooden decks to compare pop.  Honestly when putting on the trucks it is a bit of a stretch, so I would recommend using longer screws.  As long as you screw them in a little at a time while alternating screws the trucks hold on fine.  I've accidentally dropped mine down a wooden flight of stairs a few times and it held up lol.  They slide good too, since the bottom is sort of glassy.  I tested the "slideability" on my metal rails.

And yes, these are plastic decks.  There is ways to print in other materials like stone, metal, wood, and I think clay.  I think the only other material that is compatable with my printer would be wood based material, but it is expensive and i'm not sure if i am going to it out.

Thanks for the feedback everyone

This is what a yellow semi-transparent one looks like set up.  The black grip tape sorta makes it look weird on the bottom but I like it.  I was thinking maybe I could put a white sticker on the top before putting on grip to have a better color.

oh man I need one of these as a template for my holes when I'm drilling my decks. I'm definitely gonna buy a few of these.

i may pick up a cruiser for fun once some people start buying

I don't think they'd hold up well? Just a guess though as I've never worked with this material. Definitely interesting that's for sure. Excited to see more!

This plastic is pretty strong, a lot stronger than the average tech deck. But I'm sure it will hold up. Would you be drilling thrrough the actual deck or just using it to mark the holes?

On a different note- Does anyone have any ideas for a wacky board design? I've been thinking of making a unique shaped old school board like maybe a hand or something.

Schmitt Stix Ripsaw is a pretty unique shape man, old school deck.

I'll just be using it to mark holes

These looks really interesting, I've worked with 3D printers at college and the strength of stuff has been pretty good from what I've worked with.

Can't wait to see things develop

I used tech decks way back when to drill my holes. It made accurate holes for about 20-30 decks before it wore out.

So sick!! New something like this would come up one day

Hi guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while.  I was on vacation.  Here is a unique shaped old school prototype! It is a hand of Hamsa.  What do you guys think? I can add concave and a nose to it, I just need some feedback to see if I should keep working at it.



I didn't sand/coat it because i didn't feel like spending that time before I got feedback

looks sick man, that's definetely ... different   

Ha thank you, that was my goal. To explore different and cool new shapes of decks. If anyone has ideas for future designs feel free to post

Damn man! They get better day by day!

You know the Santa Cruz footboards? It'll be awesome if you made 30-34 mm ones since the TD ones are a bit small.

I will definitely try and make one of those santa cruz footboards!
So 30mm near the tail and 34mm near the toes or what?
