Ellipse Mount (Remix)

thingiverse

The original design worked quite well but some areas needed improvement, particularly: <ol> <li><h2>Difficulty accessing the touch panel</h2>The original design had the touch panel facing downwards into the mount, which made it hard to enter the lock combination as you couldn't see what you were pressing. <h3>Solution</h3>The model is now mirrored so that the other end of the lock is inserted into the mount instead.</li> <li><h2>Mounting holes too small in diameter</h2>The mounting holes on the mount were too small at the entrance which made it difficult to fit screws with slightly larger heads.<h3>Solution</h3>The entrance to the mounting holes has been enlarged slightly to accommodate M5 screws with a larger screw head.</li> <li><h2>Arch not flush against bicycle bar due to curvature mismatch</h2>The arch of the mount that faces the bicycle wasn't suited for the curvature of my bicycle's bars (mine had less of an arch).<h3>Solution</h3>The curvature of the surface facing the bicycle bar has been decreased so the model can sit closer against the bike bar when mounted.</li> </ol> For reference, these changes were made to accommodate a Reid Granite 1.0 bicycle. Suitability of this model will depend on your bicycle's physical attributes.
