SRAM GXP Pressfit Bottom Bracket Tool 12mm Rod

thingiverse

I tried using this tool already, but I found it challenging due to a lack of details. Specifically: * The 8mm rod didn't seem sturdy enough to keep things aligned properly. * The plates were too loose-fitting for the bearings I had, causing alignment issues. To overcome these problems, I measured the bearings and the frame's BB diameter, designed new plates myself, and experimented with different sizes until I got a snug fit on the cups with bearings and the frame plate. Additionally, I decided to use 12mm threaded rod and make the plate shafts slightly longer. One plus was that I already had big sturdy 12mm penny washers on hand, which came in handy once everything was snug enough. Using this tool, I successfully installed my SRAM GXP Pressfit bottom bracket onto my GHOST Lector 5LC bike. In a few days, I'll upload the *.scad file after adding comments (only a handful of values need adjusting). I'll also post a picture of the printed and assembled tool.
