Duckdapter - A Duck to handlebar adapter

You've just managed to escape all your responsibilities und finally managed to take your little yellow friend for a ride. But then it happens: Your friends rubber band rips! What now? You just can't leave him behind!

If this has happened to your, you're in luck! This is a super safe replacement for your ducks bottom. Just print it and enjoy the ride with your little yellow friend.

Printing

Print this part upside down. I've used PLA but I'm sure this will work in almost every material. TPU might be be best choice but I haven't tried it yet.

Assembly

1. (Optional) If you've got an old inner tube laying around cut it open and glue a small piece of it to the bottom of the holder. This will introduce some additional friction between the part and the handlebar. Alternatively, print it in TPU or print a small sheet out of TPU.

2. Insert a 4mm cable tie from the top though to the bottom

3. Place the mount on your handlebar

4. Wrap the cable tie around your bar and pull it though too the top part

5. Close the cable tie

6. Cut the cable tie (don't care about it's length. It'll be hidden)

7. Add your friend (This can be a bit of a pain. We don't wan to loose him!)

Safety

• Make sure to secure your Duck's propeller is secured with a bit of lock tide. The screw tends to come lose and the propeller will fly of.

• Always make sure your Duck is waring its helmet!

• If you crash, ignore your own injuries. Duck is number one priority!

Sizes and Configuration

There are two handle bar sizes available. Some Users reported stretching of the ducks body. Due to this, I've uploaded the FreeCAD Project file. You'll be able to download it and modify it to your liking. Feel free to upload different sizes to Printables as a Remix. If you send me a shot message, I'll add a link to the Remix into this Post.
