Tire Depressor helps to change tire

thingiverse

This tool cost about $25. If you want to print it, you will save money. You should have 2 of these, it makes it easier to get your tire off and on with this tool. It serves as a second hand pressing on a tire on the opposite side as you pry it off and on the rim. Instructions 2 sides are different. One side is for bolt and another is for the nut. Bolt 8mm across. Nut 14.5mm across In other words, print 2 halfs and go to hardware store to buy nuts and bolts that would hold this together. You will also need to buy a spring that would go inside as pictured. Spring does not need much tension, just enough to push the piston back. Handle is attached with regular wood screw size. 3 smaller holes on the right side are for regular wooden screw size. I suggest to print this in ABS PLA is OK too, just keep the part away from heat because PLA has very low melting temperature. It will melt on a hot summer day. Use some clue to make the attachment better if you want. I suggest to print with CURA but you can print with what ever you want. CURA Print speed 30mm/s for ABS. PLA doesnt matter how fast you go. ABS heating bed at 80 cooling fan OFF PLA no heating bed cooling fan ON 30% infill Support for 80 degrees at 40% infill for support settings. 1.5mm shell 0.9mm Top/Bottom Typical printing parameters, just extra thickness allover, thats it.
