Turbotrainer Tilt Platform

thingiverse

This is my take on bryanandaimee's Bike Trainer Tilt Platform. I built it from scratch in FreeCAD, and while the basic idea remains the same, I made some key changes. I mentioned this earlier in the comments of the original design, but I wanted to test it out first. Thankfully, it works like a charm, so here it is. Here are the main things I modified: - In the center, I used lacrosse balls instead of tennis balls because the tennis balls I had felt too soft. The added bonus was that they don't slip on my floor. - I remixed the cup to have a curved shape, creating a defined center for the Platform to return to. - I used four cups, each containing one lacrosse ball in the center and one tennis ball on either side. - To secure the Kickr, I used zip-ties. It works pretty well on my floor with the balls directly on the ground. If you have a carpeted floor, you might need an additional board to place it on. My Kickr isn't symmetrical, so finding the center of gravity (the line for the central cups) took me a few tries. Initially, I was consistently leaning to one side, but after a couple of attempts, I got it perfectly centered.
