For those of us who don't 3D Print (but know someone who does) how/ where can we get the stl without having to sign up to a file sharing or 3D printing site?

Your bracket looks fantastic so would like to get one printed for myself.

Many thanks

Steve

Steve,  Draco will reply I'm sure but as we're all in different time zones (GB, AU, USA) I'll jump in and say/suggest that he will soon put a link to his design on Thingiverse as he suggested he would.  It is free access for all for personal use so no problem there.

Your friend will be then able to access and print. 🙂

I uploaded it to Thingiverse here:

I made this bracket based on this design, because I have a larger...

You should be able to download the files without a Thingiverse account, but if that doesn't work, PM me and I'll send you the files.

Thanks draco 🙂

I'll be using the original parts for a while as my printer is out of action - I've volunteered to be in a trial for some new BETA firmware/software for my machine.  It's early days in the trial and the platform is still a little sketchy ATM until the bugs are ironed out.

Anyway, thanks for your work on this and I'm keen to hear how robust it will be in the coming days/weeks/months. 👍

I couldn't find a way to get zip ties around the swing arm. I used some 3M VHB tape, which should be fine for a while. The tape that came on it is slightly better than celotape. 

Here is where I mounted it:

 

That bracket for the XSR should fit. I'll print one and give it a go. 

 

I just noticed the master link C clip on your chain.

The Horror!

I know! I am prepared for internet ridicule 😬

I have had clips, rivets, and the bolt/rivet that EK offers, and all have treated me well.

So how well does it function.  I tried the very cheap Lubeman but it was a poor solution.  I looked at the Nemo and knockoffs but figured the reservoir oil volume would require frequent refilling and was going to bite the bullet and buy a Tutoro oiler (I have an ancient Scot Oiler on another bike but they now are even more pricy).

Also, could you please post closeup photos of device mounting (did the bracket come with it) and hose routing and fixation from device to rear sprocket?

Thx

As promised here is my oiler install with photos.  It's taken me a little longer than expected as I chose (later) to install a new chain and sprockets while at it.

All I've done so far is to fill the reservoir and prime the tube which was a doddle - no leaks.  Full test in the next few days.

Oil of choice is 80W/90 gear oil.

@draco_1967 many thanks, I downloaded the zipfile last night and sent it over to my friend who has a 3D printer.

Cheers

So, I lost the dual nozzle on my last ride. I think the chain was able to tap it on full extension of the swing arm. The arm and L-bracket were there, with no signs of damage. I think the chain cut through the zip tie that holds the nozzle on. I just sip tied the hose on the top of the L-bracket, and it seems OK. It's out of the range of the chain movement at full extension. Luckily, I tucked enough extra hose up under the tank that it still reaches the sprocket.
