Kryptonite Lock Mount for Backfire M8 Rover
Print Profile(1)

Description
Attaches a Kryptonite "New York Fahgettaboudit Mini" U-Lock to the handlebar stem of the Backfire M8 Rover
The lock crossbar sits in the large semicircular cradle, then the U is inserted through the holes in the front, securing it in place. It fits quite snugly and does not rattle around while riding. Although the lock is quite heavy, this mounting position does not appreciably change how the scooter rides.
This design has the lock at a 45 degree angle relative to the handlebar stem for compactness. The lock and mount don't extend beyond the folding switch in the back or the headlights in the front.
Requires 2x M5 screws (I used M5x16, but up to M5x16 should work fine), 2x M5 heat set threaded inserts the ones I made the model for were m8 6x10
Use a soldering iron to heat up and slowly press-fit the threaded inserts into the larger part, then screw the larger part and smaller part together around the handlebar stem. The design leaves a small amount of space between the two parts; don't overtighten.
I printed both parts in the provided orientation, using Overture black PETG with a 0.6mm nozzle.
I reccomend a lot of supports on the bottom half of it will warp in odd ways, just to keep the print looking smooth.
