<p>This is a Diamond Back Mountain Bike mount for the iPhone 7 and 8 Otterbox Defender Case. I was on a family vacation and we visited Martha's Vineyard for a day of bicycling. My sister-in-law was leading the way and made a wrong turn. She was using Apple maps and took us on the main roads where there was no bicycle paths for quite a few miles. I was taking up the rear behind all the kids and my wife for safety. &nbsp;I was not able to call up to the front. As my phone is in the Otterbox Defender case it doesn't fit well in the universal cell phone mounts. &nbsp;So my cell was in the bag under my seat. I had to stop any time to call to the front of the line.&nbsp;</p><p>I like the way my cell phone fits in the belt clip that came with the otter box case. &nbsp;This inspired me to build a bicycle mount that functionally gives all the benefits on the belt clip.</p><p>&nbsp;My design allows the phone to clip in, so when you stop you ride it can unclip and immediately transfer to a shorts pocket or the belt clip. It swivels 360 degrees with pre-determined latching points. The clamp is designed to mount on the center yoke for the handle bars. &nbsp;All the hardware needed to mount this you probably all ready own. I designed it to use the M3 hardware used for building 3D printers. The mounts for the yoke are have a hex on both sides so you can put the nuts on either the top or bottom mount.&nbsp;</p><p>I had designed the bottom mount solid, but later changed it to have a center slot. Hopefully the center slot will aid in allowing any water that is trapped under it to escape. &nbsp;The clip allows the all the buttons to function and gives you access to the lightening port. I could have 3D scanned the clip but designed it from scratch as the Otterbox design would need supports and it is a bit on the thin side. I have broken enough of the belt clips to know for a bicycle mount it need to be thicker.</p><p>Unfortunately, there are no pictures of it installed on the bicycle. I had printed the model with &nbsp;20% infill. During testing prior to clipping in my cell phone and going on its first voyage I managed to find all its weak points. I ran out of time this summer to reprint and test it out. If you decide to print this I recommend printing with 100% infill.&nbsp;</p><p>Please do not ask for the cad files. This was designed 100% in Tinkercard.&nbsp;</p>
