Customizable DIY barbell

thingiverse

This device crafts plastic components to manufacture a barbell bar from 3/4" black pipe, which is used for natural gas lines, not electrical conduit or water supply lines, and 1.5" PVC pipes. The result is an 8-pound bar that can be utilized until a more substantial bar is required, likely between 100-200 pounds. I designed this device because my wife found my 20kg bar too heavy to use, so I created this lighter alternative for her until she is capable of handling the heavier 20kg bar. This design could easily be modified into a children's or curl bar.
