OBSOLETE Bike Light Holder for Threadless Stem

### THIS DESIGN IS OBSOLETE, UPGRADE TO VERSION 2 HERE: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2794924 ### A precision-engineered light holder that stays centered once installed. The light remains secure while being effortlessly attached and detached. This custom-designed holder was created to fit my bike perfectly, but it's unlikely to work well unless you have the exact same stem and head tube angle as I do. My bike has a 73° head angle, a 6° stem angle, and a "Planet X Superlight Team 3D Forged Stem" with an oval-octagonal profile measuring 34 mm high and 32.5 mm wide. The bike light used in this design has a diameter of 28 mm and can be found at http://www.dx.com/p/flood-to-throw-zooming-cree-p4-wc-3-mode-led-bike-light-with-mount-3-aaa-26800. I've been using these lights for years, but the included holder is subpar. Printed in Flex TPU with a shore 98A hardness rating, this design still needs fine-tuning to eliminate stringing issues, as seen in the accompanying photo. The current version works adequately, but the light occasionally touches the stem bolts, causing a rattling sound. To resolve this issue, I'm planning to create a revised version with increased clearance. ## UPDATE BEFORE PRINTING! ## After extensive use, the rattle has become quite bothersome, especially when riding on cobblestones. Unfortunately, my printer is currently offline due to a dead PSU, but as soon as I replace the part, I'll print, test, and upload an improved version that addresses this issue.
