Background
I recently wanted to make a quick release mount for a bike light (here), but couldn't find any good reference models. I ended up taking inspiration from some other models and really felt like it took way too long to dial in the design for my needs. I wanted to share a simplified version for anyone to use in a project, even if it is just for future me. I also wanted to update it to be more universal and accessible to anyone to add to their model right in their slicer.
Instructions
Add the “Outside” to your stationary mount
- import the stationary part of your model (handlebar mount, wall mount, ect.) into your slicer of choice
- import Outside file into slicer
- align Outside so that model intersects with your part. Should print as 1 part.
- NOTE: be aware of clearance for the quick release bar to bend
- confirm orientation of Outside is acceptable (see instructions below)
(GIF to come)
Adding the “Inside” to your releasable object
- import the removable part of your model (flashlight mount) into your slicer of choice
- import Inside file into slicer
- align Inside so that model intersects with your part. Should print as 1 part.
- NOTE: be aware of clearance to access the quick release button
(GIF to come)
Note: Quick Release Bar can be printed entirely separately
Assembly (see gif)
- Push Quick Release Bar into the Outside and listen for snap!
- NOTE: Orientation of the bar is important! Refer to images as reference. If you install it upside-down, take some pliers and pull it out and try again.
