I have a Monkii Cage on my Krampus – they’re a clip mounted, quick release, bottle cage that fits different sized bottles, rolled up things etc. really good piece of kit!
It fits onto these mounts:
But the water bottle mount on the downtube are too high up, so any bottle in the cage gets in the way of my frame bag.
So I needed to make/fashion a mount to go further down the downtube so I can mount the cage lower.
I happen to have access to an UP! 3D printer (DT teaching has it’s uses!)
Model in SketchUp:

Just tried it on the frame in the shed and it fits like a glove 😀
Might try a chain guide next….any other ideas for useful, 3D printable parts?
