Talk3D Episode 12: Logan Pletz
Logan Pletz is a Biathlon athlete, who has competed in a number of provincial and national competitions over the years. He has fared well in a number of competitions, and eventually earned a spot on the Biathlon Canada's U20 team, representing the country in competitions at the international level.
His venture into 3D printing was born out of a need: he is quite tall and needed a bigger rifle to fit his frame, while not adding a lot of weight to it. Logan got to work learning 3D printing. He made many versions of the rifle stock until he became successful at making one that suited perfectly, and could go with him to races internationally. His custom rifle now weighs less than the team's weight limit, while retaining the needed strength.
