Customizable Bike Handlebar/Pipe Mountable Device/Remote Caddy by Nother_Ngineer

Last crawled date: 4 years, 8 months ago

Our stationary exercise bike doesn't have a good place to set the TV remotes, so I designed this remote control caddy that clamps to a handlebar (or any other pipe). In the current design, the pipe clamp does require screws, such as the two 3" 10-24 screws and wingnuts in my photo. The handlebar/pipe can be in a horizontal or vertical orientation, and facing crosswise or sticking outwards. Dimensions are configurable to fit your devices (remotes/phones/etc) and pipe/handlebar. Printing the pipe clamp components is optional, as the caddy could also be screwed to a flat surface (such as a wall) without it. An optional alignment notch prevents the caddy from rotating, but setting the notch size to 0 will delete it. Drain holes are also optional, eg if using for something outdoors. Improvement suggestions welcome.
[Updated 10/22/20: Changed SCAD file default params for a taller & shallower design allowing easier access to buttons without lifting from caddy, and added more example STL's.]
