PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PRINTING
I was a bit lazy and didn't make it too user friendly (sorry), so you'll need to read the instructions to make it properly.
I created this motorcycle phone holder mainly for function - to be convenient and easy to use above all else. It should fit most handlebars, except for clip-ons and enduro handlebars (the ones with a thinner rod welded above the main tube).
It is designed to be a snug fit - just slide the phone in from above and it'll stay in place. It's also designed to only hold the phone horizontally.

Materials:
I used ASA for main components for its strength and UV resistance. You can use some other similar material (like ABS), just don't use PLA.
Some components are made of TPU - these shouldn't be made of any other material, because they were designed to be flexible.
Printer settings:
0.2mm layer height
ASA: 1.6mm wall thickness, 40% honeycomb infill
TPU : 1.2mm wall thickness, 15% infill
Model orientation is probably not correct for most models, so here's the instructions:

Testing:
So far it has only been tested on a short ride at speeds of around 130km/h or 80 mph (highway speeds where I live). It held the phone without any issues. The phone was a bit shaky (as expected with the central part being made of TPU), but the image on the phone was visible without any issues.
Do keep in mind that this was tested on Yamaha TDM 900 (touring bike with fairings), so the phone wasn't exposed to any actual wind. It might be different on a naked bike - if someone wants to test this on a bike without fairings, I'd appreciate the feedback.
Final note:
This model is fully printable and functional, but I'm still running some tests, so I'll update this with more info on usability and add photos of it in use.
Also, you can contact me if there isn't an option that would suit your needs (phone size, handlebar diameter, etc…)
