Snowshoe Binding Reinforcement by pmm

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago

Seattle Sports made a snowshoe before discontinuing it; they sold their stock to Amazon who sold them for under $50. And for good reason; the bindings break when they get cold - not great for a snowshoe. Replacements cost as much as the snowshoe, so I thought I'd create a reinforcement to minimize breaking (I also used to to rejoin a binding that completely broke in half).
I used #10-32 x 5/8" zinc bolts with large washers on the top and smaller ones on the bottom with Thread Lock Red to prevent the nuts from coming off.
I did both feet to keep the height the same.
UPDATE: The PLA didn't last very long, so I reprinted using 3DXTECH PETG + Carbon Fiber.
