A different replacement kickstand for the Begode Blitz.
I made this kickstand for 2 personal reasons:
1) Weight savings: It's much lighter than the stock kickstand, with my print settings and material the whole kickstand weighs in at 270g compared to the stock one at 580g, that's a whopping 300g saved on the kickstand alone.
2) Appearance: I think it looks better, makes the wheel look more sleek.
If printed partly in TPU like I did it still technically functions as a kickstand but I can not attest to how well that will hold up if resting for long periods of time but I don't really use the kickstand anyway.
If you don't like the stock kickstand why not just remove it? That's a good question, I still want something there to protect the mudguard in case the wheel drops on something so the way I see it this replacement is really more akin to a bumper protector for the mudguard.
Print Settings:
Preface: I print with a 0.6 nozzle and will be sharing wall sizes in millimeters as well for easy conversion to other nozzle sizes.
You can virtually print this with any material you like but I printed this part with both PETG and TPU95A (which has good adhesion to each-other) which is the way I recommend printing it, with the STL oriented as is I printed the base part i.e. the one that the screws goes into I used PETG to make it rigid then I changed the filament to TPU95A to make the actual kickstand flexible and impact resistant, see screenshot.
Walls: 3 (3x0.62mm = 1.86mm)
Top/Bottom Layers: 3
Infill: 15% Cubic
Supports: Tree support
Installation:
1) First screw the pin onto the left and right parts, this require 2 M4 screws, I used M4x20mm screws for this.
2) Screw the whole assembly onto the wheel using the stock screws just like the stock kickstand.
