Micro-Loading/Fractional Plates for Olympic Barbell

thingiverse

Here are six files for three different prints included. Depending on the filler material used, the weights can be whatever you want them to be, but I used them to create 1.5 lb, 1 lb, and 0.5 lb sets of plates for my Olympic barbell. The inner diameter is approximately two inches and should have no problem sliding onto the bar. I used Quikrete to fill my weights, but you could use coins, sand, metal scrap, or other materials to fill the weight. Even water can be used (would need to glue the edge after putting the pieces together for complete watertight quality). The parts were designed to be durable and easy to print (no text, overhangs, etc). They require no glue to put together, but you could still use it to ensure they never open. I personally did not see a need to do this.
