On this sunny #FreeCADFriday, I continue my bike series with a pair of leg clips.
Print them to protect your pants from the freshly greased bike chain! ✨
The clip is created from a single B-spline curve which is then offset using Part > 2D Offset. The chamfer had to be created manually using a sweep and its angle is optimized for improved printability.

@tinx Neat! Thanks for sharing, but I'm curious why you have one on the left. I only secure my right (by tucking it into my socks) and it seems to suffice. Also, thanks for sharing what software you use. Polls about which software people use are worthless compared to what is actually being built. (sorry if this got sent twice, M is glitching)

@tinx Awesome. What have you printed them in? I imagine needs to be rugged but a little flex? PETG? /Jo

@tinx @freecad Looks like a great start, but how do you attach them to the bed posts?
