This is a multifunctional clamp utilizing the Picatinny / Nato rail design to assemble different modules on the same rail.
The rail design is based on the military standard Stanag 4694 Standard which came from the Picatinny system MIL-STD-1913 ment to to make sure different accessoires for weapons are exchangable.
These rails are used for adding sightingsystems, lamps, grips an so on military gear.
For my bike i will use it as a base to mount my Go Pro, the mobile, or maybe a lamp on it.
Check printables for picatinny or nato rail - to see what adapters are available.
Examples i will try out when i have the time for it:

Furthermore use some rubber underneath the lamp when screwing it to the handle bar. The screw should be long enough and self locking nuts do make sense - to keep it tight under vibration

Printing: I do currently use a perimeter of 4 and an infill of 60% - the reason is that the load on the joint is relatively high when screwed - its important to take care when screwing it - not to apply a too high torque - because this will lead to a cracked bolt inside the joint . As material i use PETG - this setup is still under evaluation so no guarantee that this will be durable.
Note: if the clamp is used as a mount for a light on the bike make sure that the light meets the traffic regulations i - eg. brightness - position of the cone of light etc. The light must maybe be certified - depending on the regulations of the country where you use it.
Disclaimer - The design is still under evaluation on my bike - tests are ongoing - so there is no warranty of any kind for this design (especially under different ambient conditions - cold, warm, rain - heavy vibration)
If you download, print and/or use this model - this is at your own risk - you assume all responsibility and safety for your final product and its use. Note 3D printed parts can break and may contain sharp edges.
