Bottle cage adapter for small frames
Small frames and full-suspension bikes often leave no room for a standard bottle cage in the normal position. This adapter bolts to the two frame bosses at 64 mm spacing and offsets the cage 40 mm lower or 20 mm sideways, using 5.5 mm slots for M5 bolts and a 6 mm thick plate with 3 mm ribs underneath for stiffness. A 1 mm rubber pad recess against the frame prevents paint rub, and PETG or nylon tolerate the constant vibration. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Design a bottle cage adapter plate 6 mm thick with two 5.5 mm frame slots at 64 mm spacing, two 5.5 mm cage holes at 64 mm spacing offset 40 mm downward and 15 mm sideways, 3 mm stiffening ribs on the back, and 1 mm rubber pad recesses.
Fit notes
Instead of buying a fixed-offset adapter and hoping it clears your shock, describe your frame geometry to SpeakCAD and it generates the exact offset you need. Slide the cage position in the chat, add a tool strap slot, and preview the result in the browser before downloading.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
