I published a new thing on Thiniverse.com http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13877 This thing is a quick release bicycle headlight using magnets. I bought the magnets in a garage sale so I can’t really help you find the same magnets.
Instructions
Print the parts:
—————-
2 x clip2.stl
1 x magneta.stl
1 x magnetb.stl
Attach one clip2.stl to magneta.stl using a 1/2″ 6-32 bolt.
Attach the other clip2.stl to magnetb.stl using a 1/2″ 6-32 bolt.
Attach the base to the bicycle handle bar using a 1 1/2″ long 6-32 bolt.
Attach the light to the upper part using a 1 1/2″ long 6-32 bolt.
Superglue the magnets on the bottom of both magneta.stl and magnetb.stl
Make sure you align the small notches in the right direction for your setup.
What’s Next
- Would be nice to derive a new thing using more standard magnets.
- Making it in OpenScad would allows parametric parts.
- Adding new connectors to attach a camera, a map, …
