Tablet holder

[tiltmaniac]

Getting out to bike right now has.. complications.|
So, I'm relegated to biking indoors.

I like Zwift and similar, however, I've found that attempting to hold up the tablet (or phone) and cycle at the same time, even indoors and in one place.. is super duper annoying.
I'm sure that comes as a major shock to everyone.

So, I designed and printed a tablet holder (and clamps) so I wouldn't have to hold the tablet while Zwifting.

This works with our Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and S5e tablets, and probably other 10" tablets, but haven't measured or attempted to test.

Pictures of the real thing, and of some of the CAD drawings attached!

That is a VERY Clever design of the clamp around the handle bar AND the Tablet holding frame, making a strong and adjustable connection, for angle and wider/narrower tablets!!!!!!!

Thanks!

Also has the advantage of ensuring that the bolts are recessed and not gonna scratch you!

Would it be possible to attach the 3D cad files so I could change it for a Asus 12.1' 2 in 1, without the keyboard?
What is the handle bar dia in the clamp area?

If you give me the measurements, I'm happy to attempt to modify what I have for you and give you the cad/stls.
I used the standard CruzBike handlebars, so 24mm OD.

317 * 192 * 8 mm OR in the OLD BRITISH measurements (12.5"*7.6"*0.32")

My Quest has drop bars, so 24 mm handlebars in the clamp area!

.. So, I've modified the model to fit (as far as I can tell).. but am unsure what format I can post that you'd be able to use?

I User PrusaSlicer for my Prusa Mk3s 1.75 mm Filament printer, so STL, 3MF, OBJ, and AMF files!
I am JUST using Fusion 360 3D CAD software, so there are a lot of file formats it can open, then I can get it to create a STL file.

I thank you for time and effort, and especially for the clamping joint design!

I also attempted to do a slicing with PrusaSlicer (perhaps and older version but no more than a year out of date), and included that too.
Note that the original model is for SLA printing. You'd want to suppress the 'shell' operation, and then do infill for Prusa.
That is what I did for the 2-in-1 model.

Best of luck!

I have started in PETG Prusa Orange, so 7 Hr 21 mins time , I will see Tilt Maniac's baby come to life, and try it out on my Orange Cruzbike Quest v1.0 on the indoor trainer!

I have finished the printing, and removed all the support material, and installed on the Quest with the Asus 12.1" touch screen of a 2 in 1, and boy is it better than using a 27" on the desk, and using a mouse to change direction!!!
The clamps and frame look stunning, AND having a flexible top of the frame, that allows the Asus to be slid in and the top of the frames flex to hold the top!!!

Yahoo! Truly happy the design worked for you too!

That’s usually @super slim ’s line!

Please forgive me, as I have been trying to remove the ghastly brown liquid nails that used to stick wet-suit rubber to the bar, headstem and two light supports.
Does anyone know of a chemical that will dissolve liquid nails without damaging the black anodising?

 

[tiltmaniac]

Never played with liquid nails, so sadly no idea here.

Seeing all this, I need to try this zwift asap, sadly I need a trainer also. I reget not getting one sooner, since I was riding most of the winter, didn't really need one. But now with this pandemic, bah.

Looks good!

@tiltmaniac @super slim
Would the holder work for a 12” notebook computer with it tipped away from the rider and holding the base of the notebook?
