Training wheel bracket

thingiverse

I went to go get my older daughter's bike refitted with the original training wheels for my younger daughter, and one of the plastic bracket that keeps the training wheels from scuffing the bike was broken. My first thought was : Where in the world can I gone of these? My second thought was: Wait, I have a 3D printer!! (This is for a Raleigh bicycle) It took a few tries to get all of the dimensions right. It prints faster on its side, but I want the weakest part to be where it has metal inside and not straining against it. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: 100% Notes: Important - 100% infill. You can print on its side to print faster, but I print it this way so the weakest dimension is where the metal inside of it is taking all of the strain. How I Designed This I used a pair of calipers and openscad. (Oh, how I love openscad....) I used a lot of variables to make it easy for anyone else that has something that is the same basic shape but not exact.
