Universal OSAT Bike Pedal

Project developed by [User:Scieply]

Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom

Abstract

  1. My goal was to create a printable item that would be useful in many region and I realized that in many countries people rely on bikes. Biking is made much easier and more comfortable when the bike has large flat pedals. Bike pedals can cost much more than some people live off of daily in certain developing nations. The pedal is intended as usable substitute for a much better pedal.

Bill of Materials

  1. This part was printed from PLA filament which can cost about $16 a kilogram and this pedal uses about 53 grams of filament. This puts the cost of a pair of pedals under $3.00.

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. Jellybox or similar RepRap 3-D printer or similar
  2. Filament
  3. Pedal Spindle

Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

  1. To achieve a similar result as the picture, use 1.75mm
  2. Include print time estimate
  3. Include assembly time estimate
  4. Including drawings or pictures of the device at stage of assembly at minimum. (http://www.appropedia.org/Special:Upload)


Common Problems and Solutions

  • Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

  • If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
  1. Estimate your costs
  2. Find a commercial equivalent
  3. Calculate $ savings and % savings

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]].
