Expanding Bar-End Plug for Road bikes

This minimalistic bar end expands from 18mm up to 21mm, locking your bar tape in place and giving your bike a nice detail depending on the chosen color.

The bar end will of course also fit mountainbikes and other handlebars. The mechanism is inspired on common expanding sleeve bar ends but optimized for the more brittle 3D printing filament with extra flexible joints.

To assemble it you need an m3 bolt of at least 20mm and an m3 nut.

I have added two smaller versions for thicker bar tape, please make sure to chose the right one. If anyone wants an imperial version you can give me the (metric) dimensions of an equivalent nut and bolt.

(Oh, and it's just 6.38 grams a pop for the weight weenies out there. And that's with a steel bolt, imagine titanium bolts!)

Happy printing! And if you like my designs make sure to follow me :)
