Zephyr Garmin Edge bicycle mount

thingiverse

The Cyclone Mount is similar to the Out-Front mount by Garmin to attach their Edge computers to your road bike. Some of its benefits include: + Print as many as you want for different bikes + Weighs only 14 grams, one-third less than the Garmin mount + Mount left or right of your stem + More aerodynamic, saving at least 3 milliseconds over 40 kilometers Guaranteed! It comes in a left and right version, with the direct version attaching directly to a standard road bar. The gasket version requires a 1-1.5mm thick rubber strip between the clamp and handlebar. ### Printing This mount is designed for use with either PLA or PETG. If using PLA, I recommend the gasket version due to its reduced grip and tendency to slide after settling on the bar. Print at 0.15 layer height and three perimeters without brim or supports. Print slowly at 20mm/s perimeters to achieve a clean finish. ### Clean Up Remove two supports on the clip face by knocking them out with your thumb nail. Remove a third support at the bottom of the clip by pressing its inner spring. Inspect the top rim of the clip and trim off any excess if it sags too much, causing trouble inserting the computer mount. ### Mounting Insert an M3 hex nut into the slot on the lower clamp and slide the clamp over the bar. Tighten with a 12mm or longer M3 socket head screw, leaving its head out of the recess to allow for proper alignment. Be careful not to over-tighten when using PLA, as it can cause the arms to become too tight. Instead, tighten loose, let sit overnight, and then tighten further. ### Design I focused on designing this mount with the realities and limitations of 3D printing in mind. I paid attention to layer orientation and how it affects part strength or detail resolution.
