Micro-Loading/Fractional Plates for Olympic Barbell

thingiverse

Here are included 6 files for 3 different prints. Depending on your filler material, the weights could be whatever you wanted, but I used them to create 1.5 lb, 1 lb, and 0.5 lb sets of plates for my olympic barbell. The inner diameter is approximately 2 inches and should have no issue sliding onto the bar. I used Quikrete to fill my weights, but you could use coins, sand, metal scrap, or other materials to fill the weight. Even water (would need to glue the edge after putting the pieces together for complete watertight quality). The parts were designed to be durable, easy to print (no text, overhangs. etc), and require no glue to put together. You could still use glue to be absolutely sure they never open, but personally I did not see a need to do it.
