Here’s my latest. Soft jaws made specifically for AXS reverb dropper service. It works great and it saves thee step of removing the saddle to clamp to the top of the post. https://www.printables.com/model/1445997-rockshox-axs-reverb-clamping-jaws

Wow! What printer do you have? That thing mush have a huge print bed.
Did you ever share the Spurcycle bell model? I’m super interested in trying it!
I am trying to make a washer to put over the bottom bracket to save the paint with my T47A bb when I do maintenance but the 3D printing tool I’m using (PrusaSlicer) only lets me adjust the outer diameter. Is there a better way? I need the inner diameter to be about 55mm.
I never ended up changing the angle of the bell like I wanted! I’ll put that on my to-do list for this weekend, and hopefully share soon!

For simple shapes, I would create it in Tinkercad. You can upload an STL there and edit it, but for a shape like that you might be best served by just creating it from scratch.

I have a Canyon Aeroad with the threaded seatpost mounts for a race number. I found this on Makerworld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1772505-canton-aeroad-race-number-holder?from=search#profileId-1887248 which looked like a good solution for easily installing/removing a race number (I ride to local races)
Decided to try take it one step further and modify the design to attach my Moon Helix rear light, Moon basically uses a Garmin Quarter turn mount but 70% of the size
I’mcurrently having issues getting ASA to play nice, so I may just revert to PETG or get some PCTG for ease of printing, I tried to print it vertically, but there is some ‘sag’ when doing that, so the tolerances go out the window and I cant mount it on the original design. Will add more when I am happy with the finished product
Might also make a Bontrager Flare compatible version as I have one of those too
I had to sell my 3D printer when my first kid was born - just not practical in the house anymore. But man EVERY DAY I think of something I’d like to design and print.
One thing I’d want to do is create an AirTag holder for my Ostro’s internal Di2 battery mount.
Thanks for the mention! Sorry I’m just seeing this now, I don’t spend much time on the forums. Just saw this thread and catching up.

Worth looking around for makerspace, library or similar who might have 3d printers available in your area. I am a member of a club with a bunch, plus they’re available here at libraries and some home improvement stores.
I also have a newish kid and no budget or space for one of my own, but I’m able to print things all the time 
Took my 7yo on her first mountain bike trails last week and she is loving it!
I have a hardtail with flat pedals for riding around town/campsites, and also an XC bike with CrankBros Mallets (interbike 2013 special edition nobigdeal..)
I went on a short lil ride with her yesterday and found the EggBeater part of the Mallet to be a bit uncomfortable under my street shoes. That combined with the news of the new Redshift Mousetrap had me thinking about some 3D printed spacers that could have integrated rare earth magents for a comfier ride.
I am still just an ideas man and have no 3D modeling expertise. Anyone seen an STL that might work?
I’m about to stock up on new filament and the plethora of options is making me dizzy! I want some TPU as there’s a few tools I want to make that need to use that, but what else should I get?
Most of what I print is tool-related or on-bike stuff. Some of if needs to be strong-but-flexible (think clip-in bike light mount) whilst the rest of it needs to be strong and not brittle.
Example: One of the PLA tool trays I made has sagged under the weight of stuff sitting on it - is there a filament that would avoid this?
PETG is probably going to be better for the tool tray situation
It’s generally more flexible than PLA too
