Lockholder 2.1

thingiverse

Prevents your u-lock from being stolen while you are riding !!!Version 2.2 is FINALLY RELEASED!!! Apart from the possibility to consider bowden cables in the customizer, also a lot of bugs have been squashed. I therefore recommend using version 2.2 in any case. Pro tip: also the instructions have been slightly improved for version 2.2 Update: checkout the new version, providing cable shafts This is a customizable version of this lockholder A mount for u-locks on bikes. Provides a lot of settings to fit on your bike and lock. Instructions What you need A bike and a u-lock (well, that's obvious) A 3D-Printer (probably you wouldn't be here otherwise) 8 equal screws (should be a bit longer than twice the thickness of your print - I would recommend 1 - 2 cm) 8 equal nuts fitting on your screwsHow to build it Measuring Measure the diameter of your bike's top tube (or another round tube where you want to mount the lock Measure the diameter of your u-lock. As you will later slide the u-lock through the holder, measure the thickest area of the u-part of the lock. Measure the diameter of your nuts (if you were laughing now, please grow up). Measure the flat size (look here: Wikipedia: Nut, measure A/F) Measure the diameter of your screw's thread Start the Customizer and edit the settings Print it (you are on your own with this step) To mount the printed parts, use the screws and nuts. The offset between the two lockholders can be determined easiest when you fix one lockholder on your bike and slide the lock through it.
