Inverted bicycle stands

thingiverse

These are custom bicycle handlebar stands designed to fit easily into the back of your car and set up at the trailhead. They securely lift bars off the ground, protecting them from potential damage and providing a stable support on uneven terrain. The designs can be printed without any supports, making them convenient for 3D printing enthusiasts. I recommend using PETG material with a 4-wall thickness for optimal results. The diameter of the bar holders is 33mm nominal, ensuring a secure fit. Both STL and STEP files are included, allowing you to modify the CAD model data in the STEP file as needed. Notably, it's unclear why STL has become a standard file format for 3D printing. January 2020 saw an update to V3, featuring a much stronger head section that could potentially be printed using PLA material instead of PETG.
