mon-cheri's Issues

Add support for M4 bolts

Mon-cheri should work with the smallest reasonable allen key you might have with you while out riding.

My Daysavers tool's smallest bit fits in the m4 grub screws, so that seems like a good starting point.

model mon-cheri to fit shifter and brake cables

Square mon-cheri

• Size close to tri
• flat side and corner variants?

Bead shapes to match myo-notion zipper pulls

The bead shapes from myo-notions could make a pretty decent non-cheri.

Having matchy-matchy zipper pulls and crimps would be nice touch

❤️ Heart shape mon-cheri

A heart-shaped mon-cheri for bike lovers

Ideally I can get this out in time for valentines day - would look just right in red.

• Decide on orientation
• Model it up
• Test print
• Release

Visible artefacts from screw hole on tri

When printed at a lovely .24 layer height the thin walls of the screw hole on tri-m4 pull in a bit, creating a visible artefact.

• increase wall thicknesses
• test print in shiny black filament

Source grub screws

This is a task to find an appropriate grub/set screw size and length to model around.

What I have in mind is the typical pedal pin grubs, since cyclists or shops are more likely to have them around

Cable crimp for brakes & shifters

A 3D printed bead or ball with a feed-in for cable, and a grub screw to set it in place, like the well known 'bike cherry'.

• #3
• Drum shaped cable crimp
• Ball shaped cable crimp
