That is a bummer. I have a 1000 and love it in landscape - pretty much out of the wind that way! Hope it doesn't die! haha

I had to make a mount to place the Lezyne above the bars or it wouldn’t communicate with the Stages PM crank. That’s why it’s up there in the wind. A side benefit is that it puts the display in the mid range of my progressives

For my V20c with curved slider, I made my first test print. It's an aerodynamic holder for my Garmin. I have been riding with the Garmin in this position, so I know I'm happy with it. I'll make some adjustments to make it more aero/sleek before I'm satisfied with the print. It'll be held in place with double stick tape, but I may add a slot for a zip tie for extra security. I'll post here when I do.

Looks great Mathew. Adhesive backed velcro works great too. Maybe too well. If you try velcro might I suggest putting the fuzzy side on the holder and hooked side on the Garmin because when you wipe the bike down after a wash the hooked side catches and shreds a towel, leaving strings stuck inside. I ride with my Bolt in the same location and love it there too.

My recent version’s looking good. It’s being painted & sanded in between work and life, so final pics will come in due time.

Looks great on the 3D viewer and I'm sure it will be more aero than what you currently have on. My Wahoo Bolt mounted in the center on the road bike bars used to be in the way when I sat up like many who have their computer in the middle, but now that I have the Deda Tribar the edges of the bar prevent my gut from touching it as much as before.
Since my Bolt's battery life is getting worse I am thinking of replacing it. A Lezyne Mega XL is on sale for ¥23,000 at my LBS, which is about $175. I don't really need the map function for every day rides, but a claimed 48 hour run time is hard to look past.

Very Cool, always wanted to try 3d printing. What kind of printer do you have?

That looks great! A wide strip of Velcro would work too. I stuck a heavy Mohoc camera on my helmet with it and it took some grunting to get it off. I'd recommend putting the fuzzy side on the bars though so the hooks won't get stuck on your rag when you wipe it down after a wash.

That really does look great. Is it done in PETG? I am considering (eventually) printing something for MBB derailleur that incrementally helps aero but that moves with the mechanism. It is a real monster to think about how to do that.
