Update: Unfortunately it lasted about 5 rides until the plastic started separating from itself underneath. I have put the second one on for now, but I suspect that will meet its end soon too, and then I will have to find another solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a mount that you stick on your Garmin? i bought one online long ago that is stuck on my old phone, used to use that phone as a gps… i even thing I bought it from the hub 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth trying a stronger filament like PETG, or printing vertically (or at an angle) so the layers don't run parallel to the main forces applied to the part.

Unfortanaetly I would think most diy printing options for gps mount's are not goint to last long as compared to the manufacturing process used in making the origional oem mounts. If you could find someone with a resin 3d printer that might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MongooseMan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Printed some flat inserts for my SPD pedals for trips to the shop. I'm a little sceptical of how long they'll last, but they seem fairly solid and I'm not going to be putting massive Watts through them, so will see...

Jono Posted June 8, 2022 Share Good to hear. Honestly I was a bit skeptical about them lasting! Machined some a while back after 3d printing the prototype. Wanted them for messing around on the bike with my kids. The one issue I had was the pedal rotating towards the ground when I took my foot off, as the side with the platform is heavier. I'll try find a pic, or take one later when I'm home. Edited June 8, 2022 by Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted June 8, 2022 Share 3D Printing has advanced significantly in the past few years. There are HP 3D printing machines in the country that do a good quality print in a variety of materials that outperforms FDM prints for longevity and finish quality. Using PA12 as an example: it has 20% elongation at break, which means it doesn't just snap like a lot of the FDM type prints struggle with. I have no business interest in any of these kinds of ventures, but if you guys want contact details to trial some prints, private or business use, just drop me a PM and I'll send them to you. The prices are very reasonable. We use these prints in our company for Prototypes and also for a couple of parts that are installed in our final product that goes to the customer.

NotSoBigBen Posted June 8, 2022 Share What I love about 3D printing is the 'see a problem' try out a few things and pretty quick you've solved it ... I mean I only thought about position of the Garmin on my TT bike this morning and off to ride with the 'prototype' in a few minutes time.
