Building a Removable Bike Basket for the Yepp Rack

I wanted to add more hauling capacity to my bike and was looking for something compatible with my Yepp rear rack. I also use my rack with a child seat (the Yepp Maxi) which has a mechanism that allows it to attach and detach easily without sacrificing safety. I was thinking it would be great to build a Yepp compatible rear basket that could I just as quickly attach/detach from my rack.

I designed a removable Yepp-rack-compatible rear basket that consists of a milk crate, some plywood for stability and a 3D printed bracket threaded for M6 bolts which hold it all together. It can be attached and removed in seconds and is very secure.

3D Printed Mounting Bracket

I modeled my mounting bracket after the one on the Yepp Maxi childseat. After a few iterations I was able to make it perfectly fit.

3D Design of Mounting Bracket

I printed it in PETG filament so it was UV resistant and then installed threaded inserts for M6 bolts to attach it to the milk crate and my rear rack.
