Bike 360 Mini

thingiverse

This is a revised version based on my previous project “Bike 360”. You can find and download the former version from this website. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3777452). To be honest, the essential point of this revised version is to make it smaller so that I can print it with my tiny FDM 3d printer at home environment. It’s two years ago, covid-19 spreaded around all over the world, we were locked at home to get avoid being infected. With nothing to do, I decide to do some handwork to kill the time. Because of one and also the only comment of my previous “Bike 360” project, it remind me that although I have opensource the design work, but i didn’t mention how to make it and what materials need to prepare. What’s more, I know it is a little bit difficult to deal with some small part that I didn’t well designed. So I decide to make a revision and a detail instruction for this “Bike 360”. Since decided to revise the design, I focus on how to make it as simple as possible but still don’t lose the sense of texture. Also, the 3D printer I used at home is much small than the one I used in my laboratory in size, its printing volumn is only 120mm * 120mm * 120mm. This means the size of bike frame should be limited in this size. So, this revision is toward a “mini” bike compared with its brother. I named them “Bike 360” & “Bike 360 mini” because the software Autodesk Fusion 360 is where they borned and I like the sense and modeling style of Fusion 360. On the other hand, I have seen and used many opensource project from others, I think it is pretty cool to share experience, knowledge, skill, and even working sytle with others. I hope this small project can become my first project to start my opensource journey. And I will continue to optimize the sharing style in the folloing projects which are still in gestation. Finally, hope you enjoy this tiny gadget.
