Cree XM-L T6 Bike Light Replacement Mount

thingiverse

People experiencing a cracked or damaged rubber band mount on their Cree XM-L T6 bike lights and headlamps available at eBay often look for alternatives to fix this problem. A commonly sought solution is creating one's own replacement, utilizing readily available materials found in most hobby stores. However, it should be noted that such attempts are rarely as reliable or durable as the original part. One approach is 3D printing the new mount directly. Those skilled with software like SolidWorks can easily create a functional replica by designing the exact dimensions required to fit snugly onto the light and handlebar, incorporating cable routing in a smooth and effective way. Another method of creating an entirely new replacement is simply taking measurements manually on an existing working part using calipers or another precise measuring device.
