Mount standard real tail-lights with braking-sensor onto your bike's frame or a vello folding bike's mount.

You also need to print a fitting counterpart! See below.

Printing

• Wall strength / perimeter count: recommend 4-5 for 0.4mm nozzle, less for bigger nozzle.

• Infill: with additional perimeters, does not really matter.

Caution

• Don't force-twist the connector into the Vello-Mount. The Vello-Mount of your frame might break. Be gentle.

• Rather adjust your print settings, like xy-hole compensation, etc.

Installation on the Vello Frame

1. Look at your vello light mount. The connector can be rotated CCW so the protrusions slide into the holder. This is mainly to lock the magnetic holder into place. Don't rely on this alone without a magnet installed.

2. Check the Orientation of the large protrusions. rotate them so they slide in just CW of the top and bottom hole-space on the vello side

3. Push it in, so it completely covers the holes

4. Gently rotate CCW until it locks. Too much force and you might damage your frame's mount.
