Description

This is a modular rail mount system designed for mounting a railing or rail structure onto a bike trailer. The parts were specifically developed to compensate for uneven surfaces (e.g. dented aluminum boxes) and to provide a durable, vibration-resistant connection. The design is optimized for flexible materials like TPU, which allows the mount to adapt to imperfect surfaces without introducing excessive stress into the parts. Features: Modular design (body + locking part) TPU-optimized geometry Tolerant to uneven or dented surfaces High durability under dynamic load (vibration, movement) Printing: Material: TPU recommended Walls: 5 perimeters Wall thickness: ~2 mm Infill: ~20% (3D honeycomb or similar) 3MF file includes optimized print settings (for BambuLab A1). Notes: Originally printed in ASA-CF, but long-term stress due to uneven mounting surfaces caused potential failure risks. TPU solved this issue by providing flexibility and stress relief. Use case: Designed for a custom-built bike trailer with an aluminum box and railing system. IF YOU USE IT, I'D LOCE TO SEE YOUR SETUP! Remixes are welcome – I'd love to see improvements or adaptations. Please keep attribution (camping-druck and/or logo). Disclaimer: This is a functional part intended for real-world use. Always test under your specific conditions before relying on it in safety-relevant situations.
