In many developing countries, biking is the most common mode of transport. Additionally, a mud flap is important for keeping the rider clean, especially during rainy seasons.\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\n# Available plastic that can be 3D printed, and glue/adhesive\n## Link to all applicable files needed to create part. [https://www.youmagine.com/designs/bike-seat-and-mud-flap]\n\n== Tools needed ==\n\n# [[AthenaII|MOST Delta RepRap]] or similar RepRap 3-D printer\n# Depending on type of bike, an allen wrench or screw driver may be needed to attach seat.\n\n== Skills and knowledge needed ==\n\n* General 3D printing knowledge is needed to make parts.\n\n== Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions ==\n\n# Recommended Print Settings: Temp=210, Material=PLA, Layer Height=0.3mm, Infill=25%\n# Print Time Estimate: 4 hours 20 minutes\n# Assembly Time Estimate: 15 minutes\n\n [[File:Combined seat.jpg|thumb]]\n\n=== Common Problems and Solutions ===\n\n* A common problem is the tolerance for the assembly is too tight. To solve this, use a thicker wall thickness and use sandpaper to create a snug snap fit.\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n* If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.\n# Estimated Cost(57g): ~=$1.14\n# Commercial equivalent, Seat $17.98 [https://bit.ly/2Lqf9ZV]]\n# Commercial equivalent, Mud Flap $19.95 [https://www.backcountry.com/blackburn-splashboard-rear-fender?CMP_SKU=BLB0150&MER=0406&skid=BLB0150-ONECOL-ONESIZ&mr:trackingCode=913D6673-B1CE-E511-80F3-005056944E17&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=c&mr:adType=plaonline&iv_=__iv_p_1_g_42227304452_c_161003831971_w_pla-659327415317_n_g_d_c_v__l__t__r_1o3_x_pla_y_7811_f_online_o_BLB0150-ONECOL-ONESIZ_z_US_i_en_j_659327415317_s__e__h_9017742_ii__vi__&CMP_ID=PLA_GOc001&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PLA&k_clickid=_k_CjwKCAiA8qLvBRAbEiwAE_ZzPZIoB2RHzQpGs3kS7SWXs7IAEFTGRVYIUtNgNLnyvYDsMRsvlnipnBoCl8MQAvD_BwE_k_&gclid=CjwKCAiA8qLvBRAbEiwAE_ZzPZIoB2RHzQpGs3kS7SWXs7IAEFTGRVYIUtNgNLnyvYDsMRsvlnipnBoCl8MQAvD_BwE]\n# Cash Savings: $36.79, Percent Savings: 97.14%\n\n== Benefited Internet Communities ==\n\n* Cycling [https://www.appropedia.org/Cycling]\n* Keweenaw Trails [https://keweenawtrails.com/biking/]\n* Bicycle Parts Request [https://www.appropedia.org/Requests_for_3-D_printable_open_source_appropriate_technology]\n* 3D Printed Bikes Community [https://all3dp.com/topic/3d-printed-bike/]\n* Reddit Bicycling [https://web.archive.org/web/20210322083409/https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/]\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, bicycle, bike seat, plastic\n| sdg = SDG09 Industry innovation and infrastructure, SDG11 Sustainable cities and communities\n| published = 2019\n| organizations = Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MY4777, MTU\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:3D printing]]\n[[Category:Plastic]]"}
