Self-leveling Can holder for Bicycles

thingiverse

This mounts standard size drink cans and will attach to most bikes either in the middle of bars with a 31.8mm diameter (most bikes, including road) or to one side of most non-drop bars using the 22.2mm clamp. Some hardware is required, I used some metric nuts and bolts I had lying around, check below. Printing: The holder itself prints upside-down in one go. Support is necessary however, not only underneath the flat section, but also for the pegs that connect the concentric rings. This support is very easy to remove with a knife and tweezers once the rings have been broken free and loosened up. I used hexagonal infill at 35%, that's a minimum. As for the clamps, all parts should be printed so that the circles lay flat and the layers are in the optimal direction. Once again, support is necessary, but with care it's not hard to remove. Assembly: Once the necessary parts are made and out of support, assembly becomes straightforward. One larger bolt (M5 or similar) and accompanying nut connect the rings to the clamp and either 2 or 4 M3 bolt/nut pairs secure the clamp. It's very easy to mess things up when affixing the smaller nuts, so be careful and use one of the small bolts to pull them into place.
