Standard to Olympic Conversion

thingiverse

I convert Olympic-sized weights into standard 1-inch dumbbells or bars that fit Fitness Gear brand plates perfectly. These conversions are designed for use with an Olympic bar as well, ensuring easy removal and installation of the rings without any excessive play during lifting. Initially, I had developed a design where the ring and plug were separate units. However, after using them for some time, I found it more convenient to connect the flange directly to the plug. This eliminates any potential issues with the separate components. To use these converters effectively, you will need at least eight of them, which can be placed on two dumbbells - one on each side of the weight. If you're only using one weight per side, simply flip the outside converter piece around before clamping it tightly in place.
