Due to lack of well designed buyable solutions, I built my own bicycle stand from scratch.

BOM:

  • 14 Mtr. 3030 aluminum extrusions
  • 48x M8*16-25 Button Head Screw
  • 6x Feet with mounting Kit for 3030 Profile
  • 10x 90°-Angles for 3030 Profile with mounting kit

Tools:

  • Screwdriver with bits for screws
  • Drill
  • Drillbit 6-8mm
  • Allen Key
  • Chopsaw 1)
  • M8 Tap 1)

Guide:

  1. Cut extrusions to length 1) (F.e. 50cm spacing, 5cm tire width 50cm tire slot lenght, 25cm elevation. You’d need 1x2m, 20x50cm, 2x83cm, 10x11cm, 2x25cm)
  2. Cut M8-Thread into 20x50cm, 2x83cm and 2x25cm 1)
  3. Drill 6-8mm holes into 3030 Profiles corresponding to M8-Thread locations.
  4. Fit Everything together.
  5. Profit
  1. Only nececary if you cut the extrusions to length yourself. If you order the correct extrusion length pretapped you don’t need those.

    Add some stepper motors and a hot-end and you got yourself a printer goin’!

    Well done. Looks perfectly suited to your space.

    Isn’t that very similar to most of those cheap bike racks? Personally I would’ve added at least a couple wider ones for anything but those thin tires, but I don’t know whether you ever expect anyone with a MTB or something (granted, they probably wouldn’t want that to sit out in the open anyway).

      It’s 3030 extrusion, super easy to modify if they get thicker tires.

      I think I would have left more extra material on the bars to allow on-the-fly customization rather than having to cut more pieces later.

      A neat, although potentially expensive rack!

        Yep :) I used leftover pieces, so the length was fixed. But it worked out exactly fo my needs :).
