Garmin Varia radar mount for aero seatpost
The rubber band mount supplied with the Garmin Varia RTL515 and RCT715 is designed for round posts and sits crooked on the D-shaped aero seatposts found on Canyon, Trek and Specialized road bikes. This mount has a cradle shaped to the flat back of the post, two 20 mm slots for a hook-and-loop strap, and a Garmin quarter-turn socket angled 17 degrees so the radar hangs vertical on a typical 73 degree seat tube. Walls are 3 mm, the socket tabs match the Varia's own mount, and a thin 1.5 mm TPU pad or a strip of rubber stops slipping on carbon. 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 Garmin Varia radar mount for an aero seatpost 30 mm wide and 55 mm deep with a D-shaped cradle 3 mm thick, two 20 mm strap slots, and a Garmin quarter-turn socket tilted 17 degrees rearward so the radar hangs vertical.
Fit notes
Every aero post has a different width and curvature, so a generic part rocks and the radar misreads. Tell SpeakCAD the post width, depth and your seat tube angle, preview the cradle in the browser, fine-tune the fit in the chat, then download the STL and print it in PETG.

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.
