Use at your own risk. No engineering skill is promised here.
This is a mount to allow you to install the 'standard' Chinese downtube battery pack onto a Performer Goal recumbent. It might fit others in their product line, I'm not sure. It uses the curves of the frame to stiffen the mount and make sure it doesn't touch the chain. I think this bike is a great platform if you want to do an ebike conversion on a recumbent.
To print:
Print the fore and aft pieces separately
Optionally load the 'stiffener' STL files as modifiers in your slicer. These cylinders can be used to set infill to 100% in the region that the screws are clamping down on.
To assemble:
Use two pan head screws in the aft of the mount
Use one allen head screw in the fore mount
The rear derailleur and brake cables pass through the channels in the rear mount
Quick ties hold the mount to the frame
Q ties or (preferably) 24"x1" velcro straps provide extra support for the battery. These straps are not optional, because they are needed to bear most of the weight of the battery in this 'upside down' orientation.
