Update 04-OCT-2023: The flexure is too fragile and breaks. I'm testing designs for an actual hinge. I've uploaded it, and it needs a spring.

Update 09-OCT-2023: Fixed an issue with the hinge and reduced the width. To be honest, I thought print-in-place stuff was a parlor trick, weak with not much practical use. I'm surprised how well my first off-the-cuff design worked. We'll see how it survives the sun and weather and typical use.

I can't reach the button for the cruise control on my Energica SS9 without taking my hand off the throttle, so I created this extension.

I have a "RAM Motorcycle Brake/Clutch Reservoir Double Ball Base" (https://rammount.com/products/ram-b-309-6u) so this is designed to mount on that, but the OpenSCAD file is parameterized and can be modified.

Print it in PETG with:

  • Snug supports on build plate only
  • 25% rectilinear infill, except for from the hinge to around the mounting bolt, which is 100% (add a modifier, see image)
