3D model description

This contraption may be used to attach EL wire on the spokes of a bike wheel. For each point of fixation, one of each of elwire-bolt.stl and elwire-nut.stl must be printed; one part holds a standard 3mm hex nut, and the other part a 3mm screw (at least 4mm length needed, and at least 5mm recommended for comfort). Both part assemble together leaving a hole for a standard bike spoke, and creating a β€œpincer” holding the EL wire. This is tight enough to hold the EL wire very taut.

See the attached pictures for mode of installation and results.

Printed in black PLA; with hindsight however, the only correct color for this is transparent.

Also attached is the source file, written in Julia using the ConstructiveGeometry package.
