Bike Lift

thingiverse

This is a revolutionary remix of the traditional bike hanger transformed into a bike lift, powered by a single piece of rope. To create this innovative device, you will need to print the following parts in the specified quantities: - Five wheels - Six pulley housing components (which combine to form three total housings) - Saddle Hook Left - Saddle Hook Right - Steer hook left (choose medium or big size, or use saddle hook for small bikes) - Steer hook right (choose medium or big size, or use saddle hook for small bikes) - Rope clamp In addition to these printed parts, you will need five axles. I used six-millimeter aluminum rods as axles, applying grease to ensure they roll smoothly. You will also require bolts and washers and nuts to assemble the entire device. For maximum structural strength, it is recommended to orient the pulley housing components with their outer sides facing down. The default orientation in the .STL file should already be set this way. I used four-and-a-half-millimeter nylon rope to lift the bike, which rides smoothly as the bike is raised or lowered. UPDATE 17 AUG 2018: I have updated the hook size to medium and corrected the axis alignment.
