Support piece for packing bicycles with 12mm thru axle

thingiverse

If you're using 12x110mm at the front or 12x148mm at the back, it's possible to scale them vertically only along the Z-axis to get the desired length. When traveling with your bicycle, you might have taken apart and reassembled your bike multiple times with a bicycle bag or box. During travel, if you're using a through axle and want to ensure that your fork and frame receive support when compressed, here's support for 12mmx100mm at the front and 12mmx142mm through axles commonly found in new bikes equipped with disc brakes. Keep in mind that you can also scale them yourself to fit your bike if, for instance, you have a 12x148mm rear using Cura or any other slicer. I printed these supports with PETG without encountering too much trouble. The first one I printed in PLA broke after a few months of travel.
