Bike Book Carrier

pinshape

A stylish yet compact carrier for your current novel or creative journal. On a quick ride to the park or your local bookstore, you may not want to carry a backpack, but would like a safe and attractive way to hold the novel you're currently reading. Or perhaps you'd like to have your sketchbook handy at all times just in case inspiration strikes. This book carrier is made up of several easy-to-print components that simply snap together for a strong book rack on your favorite bike. Attractive even when empty, it adds some character to your bike while showcasing the world how cultured and refined you are. Uniting these under a new motto - Live, Read, Bike - represents a healthy mind and a healthy body. Assembly is as easy as snapping the three parts together. They're slotted and tabbed to lock in place, then add the appropriate clamps for your mounting method or simply zip tie it to your frame rail. A file for a snap-together clamp to fit 31.8mm tubes is included. For a more generic tube mount use the ZipTie version which is an easier print with no supports needed. Keep your book in place with a simple cord, shoelace, or bungee. The updated version includes a cord cleat in the base to make securing your books even faster and easier. It accommodates standard novel sizes as well as larger hardback novels. Printed in PLA on a RepRap Prusa i3, layers set at 0.2mm with a speed of 40mm and 20% infill. Main components print with no supports. Mount clamps need minimal supports and print best with a small raft of 2mm due to their small footprint size on the bed.
