Delta Stroller Handle Bushing

prusaprinters

<p>I own the <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJIXW2K">Delta Children City Street LX Side by Side Stroller</a>. One repeated complaint about the stroller is the low handlebars. They force you to walk very close to the stroller, so I kick or scrape the stroller about half the time.&nbsp;</p><p>I saw other parents who had attached bike drop bars to their strollers to increase the height and allow them to walk further behind. I purchased the <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B002I7IBHM">Origin8 Compe Lite Bar End</a> and <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0030RS68S">Schwinn Ergonomic Comfort Bicycle Grip</a>. The opening in the drop bar end is too large to grip the stroller handle, so I printed some bushings.</p><p>I printed these in PLA, 0.2mm layer height, 3 walls, 15% concentric infill. The bushing is slightly longer than the drop bar bearing surface to try and distribute the clamping pressure.</p><p>I was worried that the PLA would not compress enough to form a tight grip on the handlebars, but they seem to be solid. If they start to come loose, I will try again in TPU or another flexible filament.</p><p>I have also included a test print. I used this to ensure that the inner diameter matched the stroller handle.</p>
