Eleiko Weight Plate Coasters

Introduction:

Since I'm a big fan of Powerlifting I decided to make these models for my office and as gifts for my friends and fellow gym buddies and as a tribute to the iconic weight plates from Eleiko.

The coasters are 4mm thick with a diameter of 100mm and a hole with a diameter of 12mm.

This set features:

• 4 coasters with metric units (25kg, 20kg, 15kg, 10kg)
• 4 coasters with imperial units (55lbs, 45lbs, 35lbs, 25lbs)
• 3 different racks
• A pen holder for the alternative Racks with an inner diameter of 12mm, which looks like a mount for barbells

The Main Rack holds up to 8 coasters in total. (4 on each side)

The Alternative Racks hold up to 4 and up to 8 coasters.

A tiny bit of glue is needed for the racks!

Printing:

I've been prototyping a lot to achieve the best quality and looks of the coasters and racks.

Therefore I had to adjust some settings like line width, variable layer height and so on.

There's also a little bit of support needed, because of some small overhangs on the racks.

To avoid confusion among what to print I made different print profiles, which separate the racks and metric / imperial coasters from eachother.

Assembly:

While the Main Rack is quite self explanatory, the Alternative Racks need to be aligned properly.

Because the pockets for the dividers are off-centered I made a little index on the Rack's bases, which indicate the insides of the two parts:

I also recommend to face all dividers into the same direction, for an overall better look.

You will also need a tiny bit of glue for connecting the base parts and the feet.

Final Words:

All rights of the logo belong to Eleiko!

And if you like the model I would love to receive some kind of feedback from you by liking, rating or even boosting it for free.

I would also love to see some pics of your prints!

Thank you for printing!
