Wer Iz Mi Mount

A Tile bluetooth tracker mounting  harness for all bicycles. It is designed to fit under the core mounting assembly of the saddle, which is pretty much guaranteed to bring the  cables in a proximity that it can attach to.

Because of the open case design the user can fit any tracker including Airtags and Chipolo. If a custon print is needed to stabilize third party trackers, the inside volume of the design is 47x43x5.7mm +-2% tolerances.

The design is loosely fitted so it can accomodate most tracker types (2022 are a bit bigger than 2022). It also made to be thin enough so the button can be accessed if needed.

Last but not least it is another proof of concept of my design for bubble supports which work exceptionally well, with lower fillament cost and easier cleanup compared to any traditional supports the slicers will try to place. 

Features

  • Prints in 57-59 minutes
  • No supports required
  • Minimal post processing
  • Fits most tile Mate and Pro Designs (up to 2022)
  • Easy to open and close
  • Versatile design with varried angle slots for mounting it in different bike types.
  • Thin and flexible top cover so the button can be pressed even when sealed.

Hardware Required

Four 2x1mm Cable Ties

Assembly

After printing use an exacto knife or any sort of precision tool( small screwdriver, to pry the bubble supports off the 4 slots in the Lid and the Base. Fitting the tool between the wall and the support will greatly help in doing so. 

Make certain to clean up any spare plastic since that is the heart of the locking mechanism.

Place the tile inside the case.

Gently close the lid, by sliding the feet inside the slot. It should be a bit offset as shown in the picture. 

Slide in the direction of the arrow, to align the base and the lid, sealing the case. 

 

In some cases with smaller tiles, and because the top is thin and flexible, you may need to use a knife to keep the edge over the lip.

Installation

To install on the bicycle, remove the Saddle and flip it over. 

Figure the slots that fit your saddle's design and thread the cable ties

 

 

Please note the orientation. While it is possible to install it either direction, I recommend doing as shown, since it will protect the lid by pulling it towards the metal frame.

Fix the tracking mount on the saddle, by gently pulling each cable tie until it is balanced.

 

Enjoy your new trackable mount!!!
