Schwinn Tricycle Pedal

thingiverse

This is a replacement pedal for a kid's Schwinn tricycle. The original pedals are plastic clamshells which have a protrusion that fits into the notch in the medal pedal shaft. Of course, that protrusion gets bent pretty quickly, and then the pedals don't stay on the shaft. This replacement design has a reinforced protrusion and holds together with bolts instead of plastic snaps. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 100% Notes: Print two identical copies. Use M3 bolts and nuts with washers to hold them together. The bolt heads function as tread, but if I had this to design over again I would have added some tread. Step file included, if you want to remix! Initially, the friction of the protrusion in the groove introduces friction that makes the pedal spin stiffly, but as that material starts to wear down, it gets easier to turn.
