Blokeonabike Posted November 12, 2021 Share Hi hubbers! So I recently needed 2 tools but had absolutely no reason to actually buy them as I was just helping a friend. I needed a 12sp Shimano chainring tool and also a masterlink /quicklink plier thing. I figured I might as well try my luck and found out that many many cyclist already designed and printed these (and many more) tools. I also found interesting on-bike storage parts and other nifty little bits and bobs. Have any of your ever printed any bike related things? If so please share! I think it will be quite interesting to see what the bikehub community has come up with Sid the Sloth and peetwindhoek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted November 12, 2021 Share Front derailleur covers, Shimano pedal service tool the useful and successful one's Garmin mounts tried a few different designs and materials but they haven't lasted ... the like 'top layer' where it turns into the quarter mount comes off Tried one of the chain quick link 'pliers' things but it isn't strong enough, will try another sometime Button for a Garmin 810 worked as well A cool thread, will be interesting to see what has been printed and if it was successful. Advice would also be welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted November 12, 2021 Share I've been meaning to design and have printed a more compact light mount for the Giant Conduct system on my bike. 10 000km later and i still have not done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alouette3 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Made a couple things, most things that take force don't last, clamps etc, the layers delaminate. Some of the useful things I have made and use often are the Shimano hollowtech tool and a fork seal driver. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo Posted November 12, 2021 Share I've got access to a 3D printer at work and use it quite a lot. I've printed some bearing drivers for my hubs, a Shimano pedal tool (which doesn't work too great) and a GoPro housing for a friend. Really handy things too have around.

Pure Savage Posted November 12, 2021 Share I have had cable stops printed for by SuperSix so that the shifting cables can all run internally. It took 2 versions for it to stop snapping to pieces and some molding of the frame as well. Supersix CT and Kom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
