MBB (Makers Building Bikes)

thingiverse

Makers Building Bikes is an innovative project that combines the maker culture's focus on evolutionary design and open-source principles with the bike customization community. This project responds to the challenge of creating a platform for new projects by providing a modular system consisting of support pieces where users can build their own creations. This approach fosters a sense of community, allowing individuals to share their projects and easily apply them to their vehicles, making improvements as needed. Although Makers Building Bikes aims to serve as a launching pad for new projects focused on bike frontals, it is entirely feasible to integrate existing market frontals, such as round optics and projectors, without any complications. This blend of cultures enables the provision of maker culture procedures to the bike community. The design enters the size range of common printers within this culture, maximizing public acceptance. It is recommended to use ABS, an advanced material within the reach of most users, achieving the necessary structural rigidity. It's essential to consider the print position to achieve the desired structural rigidity, as specified in the guide. Three sizes of the bridge piece have been created according to the motorcycle fork size and a single union piece is used. The files are available in STL format, and Fusion360 files are provided for modification and evolution of the project. The system requires 4 M6 screws and lock washers but is designed to use the same type of fasteners for assembling personal or standard projects. This allows users to purchase large quantities without unnecessary waste.

Thanks for downloading, printing, assembling, and sharing!
