Bike Pedals

Project developed by [Mitchell DeNooyer]

Abstract

  1. A bike is a very useful mode of transportation that many people in first-world countries take for granted. There has been a goal set to create a cheap bike using primarily 3D printed parts. This bike pedal is a good prototype for what the possibilities are for this project. This pedal is fully 3D printed and clips together around a bar/axle. The goal is that this pedal would be easy to switch out and allows for rotation around the axle but not in other directions. This is still a rough prototype and would need more work to be implemented fully onto the bike.

Bill of Materials

  1. Plastic Filament (PLA preferred)
    1. All files (FreeCAD and .stl) can be found on Youmagine at: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/bike-pedal-38-29

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
  2. Knife of some sort to clean up parts

Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

  • Be sure you are able to load an STL into a slicer and orient it the correct way

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

Error in widget YouTube: Unable to load template 'wiki:YouTube'

Common Problems and Solutions

  • Don't forget to put support everywhere on the pedal halves. Be sure to select "Everywhere" instead of "Touching Buildplate".
  • Ensure all pieces are printed with the orientation shown.

Cost savings

  1. The cost to print the full pedal is approximately $2.50
  2. Walmart sells two pedals for $7.99 [1]
  3. Savings are $3.00 per two pedals which is savings of 37.5%

Benefited Internet Communities

  • Name and add links to at least 5 using single brackets around [url name]

References

  • The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references/> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: [1]
  1. web page: Department of Energy (DOE) Landscaping and Energy Efficiency, DOE/GO-10095 (1995) Available: http://www.eren.doe.gov/erec/factsheets/landscape.html

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
