- In this part I will cover the basics of how I construct the steel base and test how much force it could handle.

So let’s start with the bottom part of our model. I firstly extrude a rectangle and drill 4x 6 mm holes on both sides. A 0.5 mm fillet is applied on the corners and the bottom part is complete

Now let’s make the sides. I drew a 60 x 30 rectangle and extrude it for 20 cm with thin feature.

Then I make two cuts on both sides, the first one is 60° and the second is 30%. After that I cut a hole through entire body that will serve as our shaft for the bike. A few fillets and the sides are complete

Last two parts we need to make are two steel pipes each of them extruded exactly to a specific length.

So now when we have our parts we can make an assembly and this is where the fun begins.

I tried to use as less mates as possible and another tip here for positioning the pipe exactly in the middle of the base is to use an advance mate called width

Lets save the first one and quickly make the second with the shorter pipe

So after finishing making the assemblies we can now test how much of a stress could handle our assembly.
