GPS Mount Carbiner Adapter

Carabiner mount for the Garmin GPS 60 Series bike mount Designed for the bike mount of the Garmin GPSMap 60 Series.! The adapter links directly to the bike mount so if you don't have the bike mount or a mount with the same system, like the car-mount, you can't use this adapter. ! When I'm riding my bike with my GPS attached I always have the problem that when I make a rest I don't know where to put my GPS, because the bike mount is attached to the GPS. With the bike mount attached, the GPS doesn't fit in the GPS-carry-bag which has an attached carabiner and when I use the other GPS adapter with the carabiner which does link direktly to the GPS I don't know where to put the bike mount, if I don't want to leave it on the bike. So I designed a carabiner mount for the bike mount. Easy to use: The 'GPS Mount Carabiner Adapter' links to the bike mount in the same way it links to the original bike adapter or car adapter. So you can attach it with a click and remove it by pressing the button like you do it with the original mount. Practical: A carabiner can be attached to the hole on the top-side of the adapter and with the carabiner you can attach the GPS easily to your backpack, belt etc. without removing the bike-mount-adapter. Cheap: You need about 20ct worth of plastic to print it. Printable without support: If oriented with the carabiner-hole downside to the print bed you can print it without support. The only print-critical part is the hole for the carabiner. Special: This adapter works only together with the bike or car mount from Garmin as seen in the pictures. Hope you enjoy it! Have fun! Chris Credits: The design was developed in FreeCAD. http://www.freecadweb.org Thank you for making such a powerful software available to the public! Instructions I printed the adapter 'standing upside down' with the hole for the carabiner down on the printbed. Doing it this way you don't need to add support for printing. But for stabilizing the print you could need a brim or raft. With 0.1mm layer height and a printing speed of 50mm the print took about 1 hour.
