Tin can Dumbbell (3D printed), by Samuel Bernier Project RE_

As a kid, my mom was telling me that vegetables would make me stronger. It was true! Here's how : 


123D link : http://www.123dapp.com/AssetManager/Publisher?stgAction=getProduct&intProductId=597956

“Submitted by DIN 2012, Université de Montréal, industrial design program, for the Instructables Sponsorship Program”

Step 1: 3D print

First step it to print the handles! I used white ABS with an UP! 3DP.

The STL Files are below.
Dumbbell moyen (part 1 and 2) is for 83.75 mm diameter cans. 
Dumbbell small is for 73.25 mm diameter cans

*Note that not all printers print equally and that different materials wont shrink the same way. If you use a different printer or a different type of plastic, you might have to adjust some settings to get a perfect fit. 

If you are having difficulty getting a good resolution with your UP!, I suggest you also build this box as showen in this instructables :

You should paint the classic '1 TON' stencil on each can!
