This entry is part 4 of 7 in the series RepRap

Hey. This page is more than 7 years old! The content here is probably outdated, so bear that in mind. If this post is part of a series, there may be a more recent post that supersedes this one.

For all the disdain I throw at my little Reprap (see here, and here), the little machine never ceases to amaze me (when it’s working). The idea of it amazes me: A load of hacked together bits of MDF, wires and electronics can make a physical object. I have had a bike-light sitting around for a while – one of those things you constantly just move with the thought, “One day I’ll do something with that”. I have a lot of these things lying BTW, so the bike-light got lucky.

Bike Light, Today is Your Lucky Day!

I made a mount so I could actually fix it to my bike (genius ;)). I think I actually found the light on the road – it’s one of those handy USB charging ones. Photos below self-explanatory, I think. Kind of magic that something in the mind’s eye just comes into being in the space of a couple of hours eh?

I could have just used duct(/Duck?) tape.
