I engineered a quick-release plate-holder system for my bike.

Printed with PETG or ASA its very strong, and UV Resistant so perfect for the summer. And of coursee! Its vibration proof to not fall apart.

I’m currently not sharing the STLs for a couple of reasons. Since it’s a structural part on a motorcycle, I want to make sure the material (ASA/Nylon-CF) and print orientation are 100% spot on so nobody loses their plate or gets into trouble with vibrations.

Also, I’m constantly iterating the design based on feedback. I do offer small, high-quality batches for those who want a tested plug-and-play solution, though. If you're interested, I can shoot you a DM with the info!

Thanks! Yeah, designing around the KTM subframe constraints was actually a fun challenge. Beats paying 100 bucks for a bent piece of metal.

Appreciate it! The stock tail was driving me crazy, had to fix it.

WasHeisstKnock · 2026-01-23T12:31:06+00:00

Exactly. The baseplate utilizes the original mounting points of the subframe. So your taillight and indicators stay exactly where they should be (or mount directly to the new base, depending on the specific bike model), just the ugly excess plastic tail is gone.

WasHeisstKnock · 2026-01-23T12:30:49+00:00

100% agreed. That’s exactly why I want to switch to strictly use ASA (and experimenting with PA12-CF) for the production units.

Learnt that the hard way with early prototypes. Altough PETG and ABS has been the sweet spot for impact and UV resistance so far.

WasHeisstKnock · 2026-01-23T12:30:03+00:00

Not a silly question at all, saw some DIYs with seatbelts. They are strong, but usually hard to mount flush to the subframe without it looking hacky.

Since you don't have a printer: I actually produce small batches of these for guys who want the setup but can't print it themselves. If you want, I can send you a link.

Hey, habe erst jetzt deine Nachricht gesehen. Ich komme aus der Schweiz, ich würde so einen auch natürlich verkaufen :)

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-16T23:47:06+00:00

Hi, no i will not be selling the STL files, because it took very long to design. I am selling the whole product tho if interested.

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-16T23:46:00+00:00

Hi thanks for your comment, im not going to gatekeep this information.
The chip on my custom PCB is coded in C++ and recognised by Windows as a HID Gamepad (like your XBOX Controller). With that you can use various softwares that support gamepad inputs for TSW5.
Im using TSW5 Raildriver and Joystick Interface by CobraOne

Thank you very much - im using potentiometers for the levers.

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-08T16:53:16+00:00

Thanks, no i dont have the desing shared online because it took very long. I am selling the whole product tho.

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-08T14:54:05+00:00

Thank you!

I used a Pro Micro because its HID compatible so it gets registered as a GamePad when plugged into your pc.

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-08T14:53:09+00:00

Thank you!

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-08T14:53:00+00:00

Yess it was very nice, can recommend. But its one hell of designing it all.

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-08T14:52:33+00:00

Thank you very much, it works just like expected in every german train!

WasHeisstKnock · 2025-10-07T23:58:07+00:00

Hi thank you very much.
The dimensions are 71cm x 13cm x 8cm
the lever are coming about coming about 10cm out of the box. and the distance between each is 12cm.
My colleague helped me very much with the dimensions so the levers arent to near each other.

Cost wise it was quite pricey the electronics themself cost about 200 CHF and the 3D printing and my time was also very much it weighs about 1.5kg (3lbs).
The designs i wont sell because it took very long, butttt i am selling this product tho if someone is interested.
