Bike Stand Sliding Thru Axle Adapter

My older pro bike repair stand only accepts quick-release.  Could buy an additional accessory to take thru axles but I figured I could probably 3D print one.

I've modelled this for 12mm axles but you can take the STEP file and change it to a 15mm one.  Alternatively you could copy the commercial product, lengthen the slider and have both a 12mm and 15mm adapter.

The 3MF files have been orientated for printing.  No supports necessary.  Depending on your printer you may wish to print the axle carrier with a brim.

You'll need to supply a couple of M4 bolts (8mm) and nuts to attach the slider to the axle carrer.  You will also need a 3/8" nut if you've got the same bike stand with the 3/8" locking knob.  Otherwise model your own locking mechanism.  I've used stainless for all these parts for a little better corrosion resistance.

BOM:

1. 3/8" nut (x1)
2. M4 bolts 8mm (x2)
3. M4 nuts (x2)

Hope this helps someone.
