Yet Another Bicycle Flashlight Holder

thingiverse

Over the summer, I bought a cheap bike light for $15, but it proved to be of poor quality. Consequently, I decided to design and print my own stronger light. Initially, I searched online for existing designs that suited my style. However, none were suitable. For this reason, I opted to use an inexpensive LED flashlight. My custom-made light features a removable battery cover for easy swapping of batteries without detaching the unit. This is my first attempt at using OpenSCAD, and although it took a long time to compile and render, I'm satisfied with the outcome. The light was printed using ReplicatorG and Slic3r software, with 10% infill, Speed 30, Layer Height .1, PLA, and a temperature of 220. To assemble, you will need a 1/4"-20 x 5/8" Round Head Nut & Bolt Combo pack from Home Depot. The nuts should be pressed into their spaces and secured using a bolt. Finally, the light must be mounted on the handlebar before attaching the flashlight due to the lower screw holes being covered. Overall, my homemade bike light is sturdy and functional.
