Vertex Standard VXD-720 bike bracket

I have successfully printed and utilized the -001 version. When working with PETG, print walls at a thickness that will yield fairly solid results. The one I printed was set to .5mm thick walls, which is almost equivalent to vase mode. Although PETG is a strong material, it did not withstand rough roads. It cracked at the top and failed to retain the radio on the bottom due to excessive flexing. If you need this thing for an event, consider using a strap to secure the radio to the bracket (rubber band, hook and loop strap, or paracord). Redesign considerations are in order: 1. Longer printouts will help move the CG lower into the 'cup'. 2. Adding a cutout for the belt clip boss is essential. 3. Once the cutout for the clip boss is added, an anti-vibration spring can be incorporated, similar to the one I put on the bike bracket for the ID51a. 4. Due to this radio's substantial weight compared to my other radios, I may add a clip that goes over the front to provide additional support. Note: Do not print version -000. I printed one and will make adjustments to the model. It fits the radio too tightly due to plastic flaring on the battery. I will be readjusting the slot location and adding another slot for the aftermarket battery (Sundely), which has a shorter belt clip. After working events with my ID-51a, people asked if I had a DMR radio that could work bicycle sweep for this event. This thing was put together quickly, but should function. I marked it as in progress because I have not printed it yet. I think it should also work with the XPR-6550, as the batteries are interchangeable. This bracket only interfaces the battery and the attached belt clip. The clone battery will need another slot added, as it was shorter than the Vertex one. I plan to print in PETG like I did with the ID-51a bracket. It will be secured with zip ties and have strips of silicone rubber between it and the handlebars. When I get time, I will create a model of some TPU strips that lock into the bracket. Yes, the radius is different on each leg to compensate for the shape of my handle bars on my bike as you get farther from the center, they taper. I have a 2017 Specialized Sirrus Carbon Sport U.S. edition, with the radio mounted on the right side. -001 - I added 1mm through the center to make it wider to miss the bump in the side of the battery. Moved the lower slot up, made it narrower, and added the second slot for the generic battery. I removed the -000 file. For 000, I printed it upside down. The droop from the clear span was not bad at all. I sliced in Cura, printed in Pronterface. No supports were used. Bed at 60, head at 240, on glass with Aquanet as release agent.
