Bicycle Mirror

thingiverse

This is a remix of Gyrobot's Ball and Socket Mount that is for mounting a mirror available at automotive stores as a "blind spot mirror" on a bicycle handlebar. These are perfect for a bicycle as they are small, but because of the convex you can see even if they vibrate quite a bit (I had mine mounted on a motorized bicycle that vibrates quite alot) and still see cars behind you perfectly. The end of my rubber grips had a 9mm hole in them so my mounts have a 10mm peg to just press fit in the grips, yours will probably be different, I uploaded the source files in case you wish to modify. Its probably overly beefy, but that makes it astheticly pleasing, and is IMHO worth the extra 5 cent of plastic and few more minutes of print time. The pictures are of V1, the files I provided here get the mirror up and past your arm and rotate the socket to a more usable angle. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Ebay Prusa i3 kit Rafts: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30% Notes: Support and brim on the female socket piece The male part does not need support. Print at a decent resolution so it fits smoothly. 25-50% infill would be fine. I think I used 3 shells. Sand the ball a tiny bit first if it isn't pretty smooth, don't sand too much or it will be loose though.
