Exercise Bike Timer Holder

Our very basic exercise bike has no timer, so this is a simple clamp to hold a kitchen timer. The clamp is secured with a VELCRO® brand One-Wrap® thin cable tie.

As designed, the clamp fits around a ~36 mm diameter foam-covered bar. The timer used has a chunky clamp which means the holder needs a lot of clearance to fit through. Consequently, it's a bit loose but won't fall out.

VELCRO® and One-Wrap® are registered trademarks of Velcro BVBA.

Notes:

You probably don't need a raft, but you might want a brim to help with adhesion.

You*definitely* need supports with this design, but check in your slicer before printing to ensure that there's no support in the channel for the cable tie. Any support here will be**really** hard to remove. For me, using Cura, I found that increasing the*Support X/Y Distance* slightly (from 0.7 to 1.0 mm) made the problem go away.

See the bar clamp support image for details.
