3d printed neck rest design, fully adjustable for V20 and others

[sixty-six]

I've spent a while designing a fully adjustable compact neck support for my V20, after Larry assured me I needed one. It can be fully 3d printed unless you need a long support then I would say use 12x 6 mm aluminium drilled bar ( I've included a drill jig for the 5'5mm holes) All the instructions etc are on the maker world page. I have padded mine with firm foam and covered in leather. Feedback encouraged, and more than happy to test is with a race cage if anyone would like to donate one to me. all files https://makerworld.com/en/models/1398900-cruzbike-neck-rest-assembly#profileId-1450385

Nice work!
When mounting the Race Cage, your lower clamp could be used in place of their clamps, provided the spacing’s correct. About 95 mm. Make sure it's strong enough to take the bumps.

Though your design has more adjustability, I think the Suspension Adjustable Headrest provides the strength and springiness most riders like.
I do think your curved Neck Rest would be more comfortable. I'm going to look into modifying mine that I use that on my S40.
Back when I used the original seat on my V20 I preferred using inner tubes.

Thank you Mathew,
If you know the hole centres of the race cage bolts I might be able to adapt my clamps to fit. I have made the clamp inserts seperate, as I may stilll get them printed in aluminium, also they are easy to replace if they fail. If you give me the dimensions you need for your headrest fixing, happy to modify the file to fit.
The "suspension" aspect never really seemed important, from my point I want it to stay exactly where I place it, relying instead on the padding I use to give a little give? I found the original square soft one that goes over the bars to be awkward.and that's why I wanted to hold me in place a tad more securely.
I also think I will use a removable clamp insert for the head rest itself. so it can be replaced
It is surprisingly solid, even with the printed pillars over the alloy ones
