+ Having ridden motorcycles since I was sixteen, and being an avid music enjoyer, I'd been looking for a way to + improve my music listening experience while on-the-go. One large pain-point I'd always had was with controlling + track selection and volume levels while my gloves were on, as smartphones don't respond very well to this, if at + all. In 2023 I found out about chubby buttons, a low-power and highly water-resistant media controller + specifically designed for use with gloves! The only problem was that it was designed to be worn on your arm + using a strap, which isn't very practical on a motorcycle. +

+

+ Having recently gotten a 3D Printer, and having some baseline modelling skills, I purchased one, took some + measurements, and began designing a proper mount. + I already owned and used many 1" RAM compatible mounts and gear on the bike, so I decided to make this one + natively + support the ball size to use an existing clamp I had stored away. This design was the first where I decided to + use heat-set inserts in the plastic, along with some medium-strength loctite on the fasteners, due to the + high-vibration environment the mount would see. The print was also done using a UV resistant, high-temp rated, + and non-water-absorbing ASA filament, as the direct expose to the elements would not allow something like cheap + PLA to last very long. +

+

+ While my first iteration was sized appropriately and went together with no issues, the ball mount neck ended up + snapping due to a low infill percentage. After changing that area to 100% infill, including a handful of the + rear mount layers that it attached to, a second iteration has worked perfectly for a few years now! If you're + interested in printing this yourself, feel free to download the model and print it yourself using the button + under the photos! +
