Materials and safety
Materials and what we won't make
Bike parts live outdoors, in sun and vibration. We print them in ASA, which holds up to about 95–100 °C and resists UV, or in carbon-filled nylon for stiff arms. Never PLA: it softens at 55–60 °C and creeps. Threads are brass inserts, bolts are stainless, and we never print a thread.
We only make device mounts and non-structural caps and covers. Every mount fixes to a metal clamp or bolt hole that's already on your bike, carries a declared max device weight, and comes with a tether loop and fitting notes: torque, inspect before each ride, replace after a crash. It's a mount, not a safety device.
