Stronger 3D Printed Items {3Bar}

thingiverse

Up-cycle bike spokes to construct stronger 3D printed constructs and assemblies I stumbled upon a method to both solve a problem and save a little coin in the process using ‘trash’*; and thought to myself: “Hey; this might solve some other folk’s problems and save them a buck or two as well.” So I’ve created these file showing how to use discarded bicycle spokes to strengthen 3D printed parts; which have strength and rigidity issues in some applications. The objective is to demonstrate various methods to use discarded bicycle spokes to strengthen and stiffen 3D printed parts. Not primarily to build the 3D Printer Tools Rack and other items, they are basically vehicles to demonstrate the methods, though quite useful in and of themselves; a 'bonus' so to speak. An instructable is available if you prefer.
