Description
Holders for hydraulic bicycle brake bleed syringes. Print in TPU. Pin should be printed in a strong material, I used PC but PETG should also work. PLA twists too easily.

the end result is great! a little holder I can attach to the bars or frame as a third hand. TPU means no risk of scratches etc. I’ll be printing another to hold the syringe at the bottom.
I did have issues printing the pins in PETG. I had to enable a brim and revert to default support settings to allow the ‘ball’ to grip the bed and stop sliding around, which was a tiny bit of sanding. but otherwise a good result
hey awesome man glad you liked it! yeah the pin is a little tricky. you should be able to split it down the middle lengthwise to print each half flat on the bed, then carefully glue it together. I did that the very first time and it worked well, but then I tried it whole and it worked for me.
