Admittedly, most of the hacks featured on this site are low tech. There is nothing wrong with low tech, heck, as long as the hack gets the job done count it a success. A couple of readers alerted me to a decidedly high tech solution to a light mounting issues on some drop bars complicated by cable placement. Reader jackflap wrote:
The hacker couldn't fit his light-clamp on his handlebars because the brake cables were in the way. So he used a 3D printer to create a reversed-clamp which would fit. Very cool use of 3D printing.
This is an problem I would have likely tried to solve with a low tech velcro hack and a 3D printer hack kind of blew my mind. The full hack is detailed Thorwil's WordPress site. The entry shows how to use FreeCAD go from this -
to this -
Any questions should most definitely go to the comment section of Thorwil's site because this high tech hack is bit beyond my low tech mind.
I would have likely tried to fix with a low technical velcro hack into and printing device hack into type of blew my thoughts. Great job done by you here.
