095.5 – 210mm “elephant” rod with M6 insert threads

Basic Info

What is it: A rod with M6 insert threads on both sides.
Material: strong | standard tolerance
Measures: 210mm high (fixed!), ⌀ ~35mm. The insert threads are 15mm+ deep in. There is an extra 25mm space for a bolt after the insert thread. So in total there is room for a 40mm M6 bolt (see this sketch) | Tolerance? The length is fixed at 120mm, but the ~35mm diameter is flexible within the standard tolerance
Note: this is an additional elephant rod (095.1, 095.2, 095.3, 095.4) with the length of 210mm

Ikego is a circular design platform experiment. The core idea is to build products from multipurpose parts – parts that can be creatively reused like LEGO® bricks – to create products that can be creatively transformed in infinite ways. The parts are open source and mostly very easy to make. The system is collaborative: We invite designers to use it and contribute new parts and products – as part of their professional work or just for fun! And we encourage manufacturers to make products using the Ikego System and to sell them on the market. Small local workshops can also make Ikego products and sell them to individual customers as a ”local make”. This is called “decentralised manufacturing”. It’s sustainable, very sustainable! The Ikego approach works also great for education about design and sustainability. We run workshops ourselves and support others to do the same. Let’s invent a circular design revolution, together!
