Stands to easily store your inline skates upright on a shelf.
They no longer fall over with these simple yet stable stands.
For the best stability, put the stand on the 2nd or 3rd wheel or a 4-wheel skate.
For Tri-skates, the most stable is the middle wheel.
- The length of each stand is no larger than the wheel diameter. This means you can use it with any wheel spacing, it does not matter if there is only 1mm of space between each wheel or 20mm.
- The maximum height of the stand is 12mm below the axle midpoint and around the axle midpoint there is a larger cutout, allowing nearly all shapes of frames.
- The base of the stand is a 90mm circle. Wide enough to provide a lot of lateral support and keep the skate from falling over, but still within the footprint of a skate. So when you put 2 skates next to each other (which will usually happen), the skates will touch each other before the stands do.
- The bottom of the stand is open. This means that the weight of the wheel (and the skate) is on the shelf and not on the stand.
- Inline skating wheels are 24mm wide, so the internal width was made as 24.5mm. The additional space will make sure the stand does not stick to your wheels when you pick up the skate. Don't worry if there is a very slight wobble when you put your skate in, this is okay.
- The inside curvature is modelled to urban wheels. This means that this stand can be used with both urban wheels and speed wheels.
- The entire design was made while trying to keep the required material (and printing time) to a minimum, while still being strong.
If you printed and use these,
leave a like, add a comment or post a make :-)
If you have any suggestions on how to improve the design, feel free to let me know.
If you have other ideas on things to be printed for inline skating, but don't have the courage or ability to design these things, please don't hesitate to contact me.
