How much does a 3D printed bike mount cost?
A one-part accessory costs 950 credits to design, then the print is paid in US dollars, at the firm price shown before you order: a delivered order always includes a manufacturing minimum, delivery and the service (today, a delivered order starts at $23.90). A set of 2–4 parts costs 1,900 credits to design.

Delivered order · from
The minimum delivered price of an order today, at the cheapest printer available: an order always includes a manufacturing minimum, delivery and the service.
Order limits
Up to 100 copies per online order, $2,278 incl. VAT at most; above that, a custom quote.
What brings the price down
- thin the non-structural walls
- switch to printed PETG (redo the safety calculation)
A solid, thick mount costs more than an open one: ask for thinner walls where the part takes no load, and keep material around the clamping points. The clamping is printed too: thumbscrew, ratchet or clip, nothing to buy.
How do you get an accessory made to your measurements?
- Measure at the exact spotWith callipers, take the diameter of the handlebar, tube or pole where the accessory will sit: a handlebar changes diameter between the centre and the ends.
- Note what's around itCables, levers, bike computer, light: say what's nearby so the accessory doesn't get in the way.
- Describe the useIn Design mode, say what the accessory holds (with its dimensions) and what it goes through: vibration, rain, sun, knocks.
- Check the 3D previewThe AI designs the accessory in parametric CAD, checks the minimum thicknesses and shows the preview. Adjust the clamp with the sliders, for free.
- Choose the material and orderPA12 for the structure, TPE for grip: the firm price, VAT and delivery included, is shown before you pay.
What the AI will ask you
- Give the diameter measured where the accessory will sit: handlebar, frame tube, stem, pole.
- Describe the object to hold and its dimensions: phone in its case, light, flask, racket.
- Say where the accessory will live: rain, sun, vibration, knocks, garage.
- Say how it should clamp: thumbscrew, ratchet strap or clip, all printed.
- Pick a delivered print budget range, or “No limit”.
Which bike parts can be 3D printed, and which never?
Accessories, yes; parts your balance or your braking depend on, never. The rule: if the part breaks and you could fall or get hurt, it doesn't get printed.
| Part | Printable? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Phone, GPS or light mount | Yes | An accessory: if it gives way, you lose the device, not your balance. Add a lanyard for a valuable device. |
| Cable guide, bar end plug, cover | Yes | A part under light load. |
| Frame guard, soft end cap | Yes, in TPE | Absorbs rubbing and light knocks. |
| Brake lever, calliper or pad | Never | A braking part. |
| Stem, handlebar, headset | Never | A steering part. |
| Seat clamp, child seat fixing | Never | It carries your weight or a child's. |
| Helmet part | Never | Protective equipment. |
How do you measure your bike before ordering a mount?
- Measure with callipers at the exact spot, with the tape or housing on if it stays in place.
- Measure twice, at 90°: an oval or flattened tube doesn't have the same diameter both ways.
- Note the free space around it: levers, cables, bike computer, bell.
- Say which way it mounts and the clamping you want: printed thumbscrew, ratchet or clip.
- After the first print, adjust the clamping dimension with the sliders if the part turns or binds.
To replace a broken part that isn't an accessory, such as an end plug or a cover you can't find, see spare parts.
Which sport accessories can be 3D printed?
The ones that hold, store or protect kit, never the ones that protect or hold a person. A few examples by sport:
- Running and trail: flask clip, race number holder, belt organiser.
- Hiking: pole tip, pack clip, lamp holder for the tent.
- Rackets and boards: wall mounts for rackets, a board or a paddle, frame guard.
- Climbing: storage for your kit at home only; no belay part, harness part or hold.
- Gym and turbo trainer: tablet holder, storage hooks, foot blocks.
Which material should you choose for a bike or sport accessory?
- PA12 (SLS): rigid, takes vibration and knocks; the default choice for a mount or an adapter. Check in the table which colours are rated for outdoor use.
- PA12 (MJF): the same nylon, an even grey or black, precise for a clamp that has to close snugly around a tube.
- Flexible TPE: non-slip strips, end caps and guards; it cushions, grips and doesn't scratch the frame.
| Material | Min. wall | Min. detail | Min. clearance | Max. size (mm) | Properties | Price |

| PA12 black vapour smoothed (MJF) | 1.5 mm | 0.5 mm | 0.7 mm | 360 × 210 × 210 | rigid · outdoor | $$ |

What won't objekto do for bikes and sport?
- Never a braking, steering or stem part, a seat clamp or a child seat fixing.
- Never a helmet part, a harness part, climbing gear or protective equipment.
- No certified load: nothing that has to carry your weight, a child's or the bike's.
- Not watertight: a printed case keeps off splashes, nothing more.
- No screws or cable ties to buy: the clamping is printed with the part; only a wall mount needs your usual wall screws.
- No copies of a branded accessory, its logo or its protected design.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom 3D printed bike mount cost?
Expect 950 credits to design a one-part mount, then the print price in US dollars, shown before you order, VAT and delivery included. A delivered order always includes a manufacturing minimum, delivery and the service; beyond that, an open mount costs less than a solid one. The clamping is printed: nothing else to buy.
Will a 3D printed phone mount hold up to the vibration on a bike?
For everyday riding, plan a PA12 mount with a TPE strip and two clamping points rather than a single clamp. Give the real handlebar diameter and the size of the phone in its case. Always add a lanyard for a valuable phone: no printed mount has a certified load rating.
Can I get a handlebar adapter made to measure?
Yes, to mount an accessory: a light, a bike computer, a GPS, a bell or a phone holder. Give the handlebar diameter where it will sit and the shape of the accessory's foot, then choose the printed clamping. objekto doesn't make adapters that change the steering: no stem risers, no headset parts.
Does a PA12 accessory stand up to rain and sun?
PA12 copes with rain and outdoor use, and some colours are rated for outdoor use: the materials table says which. A dyed colour can fade over time in the sun. TPE stays flexible in everyday use. No printed part is guaranteed watertight or unaffected by UV.
Can brake or steering parts be 3D printed?
No. objekto refuses braking, steering and stem parts, seat clamps and child seat fixings, as well as helmet, harness and climbing parts. If the part breaks and you could fall or get hurt, it doesn't get printed. For those parts, buy an original part from the manufacturer or a bike shop.
Can I have a custom sports accessory 3D printed?
Yes, if it holds, stores or protects kit: a flask clip, a pole tip, a wall mount for rackets or a board, a tablet holder for a turbo trainer. Give the dimensions of the object to hold and where it fixes. Anything that protects or holds a person, such as a climbing hold or body protection, is refused.
