Shapeways

Well it has been a bit since I have posted anything but I recently took possession of the parts that I designed for 3D prototyping. The first is shot is of a line up of the three different mounts that I designed. Hopefully I can start testing them out soon. From left to right they are the bar mount, head mount, and helmet mount.


This next shot is of the head mount with the light attached. All of these pictures are quite crappy and out of focus. I'll get better ones sometime in the future. There will be a velcro and elastic harness that will go around your head.


This is the helmet mount which will also have a velcro attachment.


The next two are of the bar mount that will be fixed with a couple o-rings going around the bar and hooking on the saddle horn looking tabs. The second also shows the two ends of the connectors that I got from deal extreme. They close and separate with a nice sealing pop sound.



There are a few small changes that I will make to the mounts but overall I am super happy with how they came out. Time and testing will reveal what other changes if any will need to be made for reliability purposes.
