Bicycle Handle Bar Mount for 1/4

thingiverse

Human: Designed to Replace Store-Bought Handle Bar Mount The Original Store-Bought Mount Was Unable To Support A Device With A 1/4"-20 Threaded Nut. I Purchased Two Of These Handles And Experienced Broken Ends On Both Of Them, Which Prompted Me To Design My Own Custom Solution. My Improvements Include: Reinforcing Weak Points In The Handle To Increase Strength Enlarging Thumbscrews For Easier Adjustment To Begin, I Suggest Printing All The Components At Once Using The STL Files Provided. Print Each Component As Indicated In The Orientation Guidelines. The Top Mount Will Require Support To Ensure Integrity. The Ball Joint Needs Additional Supports Either Manual (Simplify3D), Rafting, Or Briming To Prevent It From Breaking Away From The Plate. When Printing The Components: Use Three Shells For Increased Durability And At Least A 30-50% Infill Ratio. I Personally Chose PETG Plastic For Its Strength And Heat Resistance. While PLA Will Also Work, It May Not Be Able To Withstand Extreme Heat. Components Required For Assembly: 1 1/2" Length Of 1/4"-20 Threaded Rod 2x 1/4"-20 Nut (one for assembly purposes) M4x40 Socket Head Screw 2 M4 Nuts 1/16" Nail or Rivet - trimmed to 24mm length Gorilla Glue 1" wide Rubber Strip For Handle Bar Assembling The Components: First, remove all support material from the ball on the Ball Joint Part. Be Sure To Leave A Slight Amount Of Friction In Place To Secure It. Install Two Nuts At One End Of The Threaded Rod, Securing Them Against Each Other Using Tightening Power. This Gives Us Leverage To Drive Home The Rod Completely. Inside The Top Section of the Ball Joint Apply Gorilla Glue And Secure it into position With Some Pressure (using the nuts) Then drive home with 3/8 inch tap Tape or place weight on thumbscrew before adding some gorilla glue, securing with a dab in area the gorilla glue won't bond to Carefully install M4x40 screw by aligning one hole on Top mount with top M4 nut and use to tighten second side's m4 to create clamp
