I've already designed and printed a flow diffuser for my indoor cycling winter setup (see blog post here) and a fan mounting bracket (see here), and I have number of other bike-related things I want to create using the 3D printer in the coming months.
My latest creation, shown in the photo above, is a handlebar mounting bracket for my Cycliq Fly12 bike camera.
The Cycliq camera came supplied with a handlebar mount, also shown in the photo above, but one of them. Since I often want to put the camera on several different bikes, I need to have several camera mounts, to avoid the need to unscrew and move the mount from bike to bike. Unfortunately, the spare handlebar mounts that Cycliq sell (see here) are quite pricey, at £22.99 each.
I'm not prepared to spend almost £100 to buy several mounts for my spare bikes. Instead, I’ve created a replica which can be 3D printed.
It works well and only uses 16g of plastic filament to produce (equivalent to about 20 pence). It requires a couple of M3 machine bolts and nuts, but that's it. It works well, and I've even created a version with a slightly ovalized radius that fits onto some of my stems.
It's free to download in case anybody has a 3D printer and wants to use it:
