@aquilinx,

Which mount is that, I could make it a bit deeper and adjust the angle if you like. I can't do anything until I return home from visiting my parents on October 1.
It's from page 53 of this thread. Thanks!

I meant what device are you trying to attach. Too many for me to keep track of.

Not completely back yet, it is hard to leave elderly parents 2300 miles away. Lots of stuff to take care of at home. I did, however, get an Apple AirTag and designed a module to mount it. Just opened my shipment from Shapeways and it is a bit tight, but a totally workable design. Over the next month I will try to incorporate the AirTag into many of the SWAT, Bontrager, and Shimano Varia saddle mounts.

As far as I know, and I looked on 3D print file repositories as well as on Shapeways Marketplace, I would be the only person designing mounts for the Varia that include a simple clean way to mount an AirTag in the same mount. At some point in the next few weeks I will also pick up a Samsung Tile and see if I can make a further small variation that will mount the Samsung Tile behind the Varia.

Please don't blame me but since adding a mount for the AirTag will require more raw material and take up marginally more space in the printer, Shapeways will be charging more for it. If you don't need AirTag compatibility, there is really no reason to not get your mount now.

Very nice Bud! I may want to upgrade my saddle mount with this version. The saddle mount one you have a link to is the Medium?

So far I am only working on medium versions, easier to do one thing at a time. They are not simply modifications of the existing models, I am redoing them from the ground up. Still almost identical in design, but not an exact copy with just the AirTag slapped on the back.

I just finished up a Bontrager FLY6ce/AirTag Mount (http://shpws.me/SPHg)

Are you able to make this mount any time soon or should I just get the old mount instead?

You will need to remind me exactly what you are looking for, and maybe include a picture.

I want a mount for cateye rear light with a square mounting interface on my specialized saddle, just like the one showcasing on page 53. But I want the rear light mounted closer to the saddle just like the picture is illustrating.

The original version:

What I want:

Thanks @aquilinx

Just an FYI, I am old and senile and your page 53 might not be the same as my page 53 so that is why I asked for details and don't go back through the thread to see old posts.

@aquilinx

Take a look at this link, https://a360.co/3Gk1ZbT

It pushes the cateye back 20 mm. But is will be lower than your picture by around 8 mm. I need to do that to make up for anything molded into the shell of the Specialized saddle. Not all of them are completely flat on the bottom. I didn't change the angle from the standard that Speciailized uses on the SWAT taillight.
