Since people seem to miss this in the instructions I will put it here at the top instead, DON'T print this with OVERTURE TPU, overture TPU is way softer than they specify and it will not be able to hold the weight of the wheel.

2024-05-11: Uploaded V2 version of the kickstand with more straightened angles (the first one mimics the various angles of the stock kickstand), this design and stronger so that you can keep your wheel laid on the kickstand without the kickstand deforming.

A shorter kickstand replacement for the LeaperKim Lynx.

The stock kickstand of the Lynx is pretty long, for most riders this is not a problem but for advanced riders who like to do technical off-road or playing around int he Skatepark the kickstand risks hitting when you do a drop.

This kickstand is about 2cm shorter than the stock kickstand and is supposed to be printed in TPU thus minimizing the risk if getting hit in the first place and also minimizing the consequence if that would happen since it will be flexible.

One could also just remove the stock kickstand but then there is nothing to protect the mudguard in case wheel is dropped on the side and mudguard can easily break.

The kickstand still functions as a kickstand although the wheel will be resting even lower since the kickstand is shorter.

Print in TPU95A aligned as per the STL, avoid overture TPU as overture makes way too soft TPU that really doesn't adhere to 95A shore hardness.

Attention: The idea with this kickstand is primarily to act as a protector for the fender, with these print settings the kickstand can work as a kickstand for shorter period of times, if you want to park it on the kickstand for longer period of times (for example overnight) then I suggest increasing number of walls and bottom/top layers to make it more stiff.

I print with a 0.6 nozzle and layer height 0.3mm, layer width 0.62mm.

3 Walls (0.6 x 3 = 1.8mm)
3 Top/Bottom layers (0.3 x 3 = 0.9mm)
Infill 10% Cubic
Tree Supports

Install using the same screws from the stock kickstand.

I provide all my 3D designs for free but if you want to contribute send me a tip. 😊
