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.
</p>
<p class="mt-4">
When starting this project, I'd recently gotten a 3D Printer, so having some
baseline modelling skills I took some measurements, and began designing a
proper mount. I already owned and used many 1" RAM compatible mounts and
gear on my bikes, 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.
</p>
<p class="mt-4">
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 using the button under the photos!
