M-Wave bike topcase fastening hook

prusaprinters

<p>One of the best-selling and popular topcases for bikers is the "M-Wave" brand, also sold under several other names like "Point". It is being held shut with clamps that can snap and break if your bike is falling down (e.g. someone pushes it over). Here is a replacement part for this clamp.</p><p>For the axis, use any standard 2.5mm nail. Just cut it to the appropriate length and apply a small blob of hot glue or superglue to have it stay in place.</p><p>If you need the general design but it appears you need slightly different measurements, feel free to <a href="https://www.tinkercad.com/things/kgSYGaVZMlw-bike-topcase-fastening-hook">tinker the design to your needs on TinkerCad</a>!</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><br><strong>Rafts:</strong> No<br><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes<br><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.15<br><strong>Infill:</strong> 50%</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>I recommend to print the part in its original orientation for optimal stability and add a bit of support under the hinge. PLA works well for this part, unless you live in a region where temperatures are over 25-30° C often. Then you should better try ABS or PET.<br>If your bed has adhesion problems, please add a brim.</p>
