Dumbell and nut

This was my quick make of a dumbbell that mimics common brands of adjustable dumbbells.

NOTICE: please print horizontal for part strength. Yes you need supports but it will be infinitely stronger that way. Also, be aware of the integrity of plastic. I'm confident my girlfriend (whom I designed this for) won't put crazy weight on it to risk it breaking.

Be smart... This isn't for maxing out your skull crushers or dumbell bench press. This is for lightweight use.




Handle length: 8.75in
Length thread region: 3in each
OD handle: 1 in
OD thread: 1 inch (whereas the plates I was designing for where slightly bigger).

The sizes I designed for were so my girlfriend could have lesser weights on some dumbbells while I had the heavier ones on the original metal ones. To fit my print bed, the length of the thread region was shortened as well as a slight adjustment to the handle region. The handle would still work for me though and isn't too small.
