Converting my Bike into an Electric Bike: The Journey of 3D Printing a Bracket

The Spark of Innovation

The idea struck me to convert my bike into an electric powerhouse. Armed with a 150 Euro motor and a thirst for innovation, I set out on this DIY journey.

From Scans to Design: Iterations Galore

Utilizing reality capture and my smartphone, I meticulously scanned both the bike frame and the motor. Through 15 iterations of design, I honed in on the perfect fit for the frame, facing challenges along the way. Each tweak brought me closer to the seamless integration I envisioned.

Bringing Designs to Life: Prototyping with Precision

Using my 3D printer, I crafted PLA prototypes to fine-tune the design before transitioning to ASA for enhanced durability. The process was a labor of love, with each layer adding to the excitement of seeing my vision materialize.

The Road Ahead

With the bracket in hand, crafted through countless hours of dedication and innovation, I stand on the brink of a new chapter in biking adventure. From humble beginnings to a high-powered transformation, the journey has been nothing short of exhilarating.

Stay tuned for the electrifying ride that awaits!
