Bike Pedals
Project developed by [Mitchell DeNooyer]

Abstract
- 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
- Plastic Filament (PLA preferred)
- 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
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
- 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

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

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]

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]].
