The whole project started with a nuisance: the bike gets parked at a school where lights are regularly stolen, so the headlight had to come off and go back on all the time. The original rubber-band attachment was annoying to use, especially in the dark, and the band eventually went missing. Sorting out a proper mount had been sitting on the maker's to-do list for close to a year before this design took shape.
The build is a custom quick-release mount for an existing LED headlight. A two-piece clamp grips the handlebar, and an interlocking bracket twist-locks onto the light. Removal happens with a removable orange pull-key, which carries a key ring for attaching it somewhere. Assembly relies on machine screws, hex nuts and washers, tightened with an Allen key screwdriver.
The printing details are what stand out to me. Spring pins are printed in place over breakaway supports that snap loose during the first actuation. Holes get a sacrificial layer to keep support material down, and separate custom supports were modeled for the pins and for bridging, with cross-struts under the big spans and sacrificial bridging over the screw recesses.
The lock needs a 90-degree turn from insertion to locked, a choice the maker added so a lost pin is less likely to let the light drop off mid-ride. In my view better locking layouts probably do exist, as the maker admits. The mount is currently PLA, with an ABS reprint planned once a low-budget chamber heater project is done, and the rope tying the key to the steering wheel should get a nicer design in that iteration. Durability over long use is still an open question, and the maker cheerfully calls the whole thing overengineered for a light that is cheap with bad battery life.
