Wahoo Elemnt Bolt mount for Bontrager Blendr mount

thingiverse

**Update 2019 Aug 15:** I received a message from [nichenke](https://www.thingiverse.com/nichenke) who attempted to fit this on the Wahoo Elemnt, but it didn't fit. He tried modifying the original design from the F3D file, but it didn't update correctly. I also tried and got the same results. I found [my new mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3752313) works better anyway, so I uploaded a longer low mount for the Elemnt with a new interface that performs better. I work at a Trek bike shop, where I was exposed to the [Bontrager Blendr mounts](https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bontrager_blendr_how_to/). I immediately became a fan because you can use it to mount various things to your bike without using clamps or rubber bands around the bar or stem, resulting in a clean look. I mounted a Garmin GPS and one of the awesome little [Bontrager Ion 100 front lights](https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-lights/bike-front-lights/bontrager-ion-100-r-front-bike-light/p/14243/) to my bike without using up any space on my bar or stem, and it looked clean. That was all well and good when I had a Garmin computer because Bontrager makes mounts for the Garmins. However, when I got a Wahoo, sadness ensued as there is no mount available for these great little computers. Folks on Trek University asked for these mounts as well, but got no reply from Bontrager about releasing them, so 3D printing came to the rescue! The mount I'm happiest with at the moment is the "mid mount" - it's called that because it's in the middle of the mount, versus the [Bontrager low mount](https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/shop-by-collection/blendr-integration/comp-blendr-stem-and-blendr-accessories/bontrager-blendr-garmin-low-mount/p/22244/?colorCode=black) and the [high mount](https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/shop-by-collection/blendr-integration/comp-blendr-stem-and-blendr-accessories/bontrager-blendr-garmin-high-mount/p/22245/?colorCode=black). This prints with minimal supports and fits very well. The mid mount is designed for the Elemnt Bolt - I don't have access to a Wahoo Element, but I know it's larger and might not fit the mid mount. If anyone can give me an idea of how much to increase the length for the Elemnt, I can adjust and make those versions available. The high mount I created in case someone wants it, but it'll require a bunch of supports and I haven't printed one yet. I've listed [Bryce's](https://www.thingiverse.com/bdanders) [Garmin Stem Mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2865968) as a source because he modified his design for the Wahoo, and when I discovered it needed some adjustment, I used his as a template for redesigning from scratch. Yes - there are many Wahoo mounts I could have used, including [this one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3036575) which is even modeled in Fusion 360. The design is simple enough that I figured I'd draw it up from scratch, and I found some adjustments in my early prototypes that helped the design work with FDM printing. Finally, why are vowels being dropped from both Elemnt and Blendr? Are they expensive?
