Oxigin has been making waves on the German VIP scene since 2001 with its range of single and multi-piece alloy wheels. What’s more you can now get hold of them right here in the UK.
Manufactured in Germany, Oxigin’s exclusive, high-quality wheels reduce weight and improve performance. They also transform the look of any vehicle in a second.
Arriving with a bang, Oxigin’s range of rolling stock is sure to tick the wish lists of even the most discerning wheel nut. Available from 17-22″, Oxigin specialise in low-weight performance orientated alloys (from 7kg) in addition to a vast collection of classic, unique and flamboyant styles for a multitude of car applications.
Each and every wheel is available in a combination of finishes from black and white to gun-metal and chrome. The firm even offer an exclusive colour-coding programme for its range of three-piece alloys; all you need do is provide a paint code.
Thanks to patented Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technology, Oxigin wheels have a clear acrylic powder coating more than double the thickness of wet coated rims. That means you can be sure your wheels will cope in all weather conditions and continue to look as good as they did the day you bought them.

This is part of my custom Lulzbot Mini build and I wanted to show you how to install brass threaded inserts into your 3D printed parts to take them to the next level. These things are awesome!
Threaded inserts
Http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-threaded a inserts/=zjgkn9
Just any standard stick type soldering iron will do using a pointed tip. Let the iron heat up use needle nose pliers to place the threaded insert on the tip with the knurled end of the insert towards the iron and the ribbed end toward your part. Let the insert heat up for about 3 seconds then easily center it on the hole and slowly press it in about 80 to 90% of the way then use my technique in the video to complete the install.
