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:

Exported as an .stl file into the UP! software:

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?
