I like it. I’ve tried a few and settled on the Speedfil.

Is it a 3D printed container?If your referring to the rear mounted unit I posted the no. Its a piece of ABS plastic I heated up to bend around a aluminium tube and the trimmed to size. If your referring to something else in the thread my bad.

I prefer them below my aerobars.

Updates. Nearly finished. Its DIY I'll admit but still happy.
Cheaper than a new bike!
A bit of trimming needed round the wheel and then I'll try and find some matt carbon vinyl wrap. Hopefully it'll hold a 1.5 lt bladder although how much I fill it will depend on the event. Next is connecting the hose although I'll be changing a cockpit over first.

I was in the same situation as you. Had the comp mounted on top of the bottle on a Speedfil Z4(similar to the Xlab Compact) on my old setup. When building my new rig, wanted the comp further forward and up closer to my line of sight. so i went with the 76project Modular TT Mount.
Below is another experiment am trying now to bring the comp even closer to the tips of the extension into my line of sight. However, as my face is very close to tip of the extension, the comp ends up only 60-80mm from my face. The difficulty is now for my eyes to adjust their focus from the road ahead to the comp screens that is so close to my face. May just go back to the original default and live with averting my eyes down whenever i glance at my comp.

In regards to the computer mount solutions/ideas.
During a race do people use a watch as well or both units?
Hence do the latest gen Garmin ANT+ speed/cadence units, work with both watches and bike computers at the same time?

The latest Garmin devices can "clone" the data from for example your watch to the computer right in front of you. In all honesty I don't see the point except for having all data on one device. An additional downside is the that the Fenix 5s plus doesn't manage to go the full distance (9h41 IM), so I decided to split the activity on multiple devices. The swim-T1 on the Fenix, cycle on a Edge 130 and the run on the Fenix again.

Just uploaded this setup in another thread:
Tririg Alpha X bars with Kappa cage and Profile design HC bottle and a Camelbak bite valve on the straw. Since I'm running a narrow setup on the pads, I needed to add a space between the bottle cage and bars. Here it's a 3D printed aero profile that puts the bottle cage 10mm higher. The computer mount is a CNC cut aluminium strip with a Garmin quarter turn mount screwed on. Given the limited space out front I decided to buy a Garmin Edge 130 in stead of the Edge 810 I run on my road bike. The cord still needs some adjustment, but for now it's rather safe than sorry.

Bit late to the party.
I've got the basic Wahoo TT mount on the extensions right beneath where my hands go, perfect spot to glance down at without getting in the way. I've moved the bottle cage further back, using the threaded bosses built into my Tririg Sigma XF. One downside - cage goes in "backwards" with the bottle inserted from the rider-side, rather than the front. This is partly because I have ski-bends fitted in reverse. It's not a big deal at all.
The little aero spacers under the cage lift the bottle up so it sits between my arms/elbows, and also they are red.
Cheers, Rich.

Problem is I have to turn my wrist to check the speed and time. On top of that, if you have a polarized goggles, you have to turn it to a certain angle to look at it clearly. It’s not convenient at all.

I'd never thought about the glare/angle issue. Thats worth noting. Thankfully space is something I have.
