Dumbbell to Barbell

thingiverse

I wanted a way to have the ability to do barbell exercises without all the additional plates and such, so I designed these clamps that will hold my bowflex style dumbells that attached to a 3/4in schedule 40 iron pipe that I sanded the black finish off of. These clamps are attached by an m6 bolt from underneath (more pictures coming soon). The hinge will require an M6 bolt, I used a 6mm diameter round standoff that I had on hand. I have had 52.5 lbs in each clamp and there has been no issues with PLA's strength to support that load. I recommend testing the parts you print before doing anything crazy with them though.
