2020 Extrusion Panel mounts

thingiverse

This mount enables mounting Plexiglas panels or other panel materials within 2020 aluminum extrusion frames. I utilized them to add a panel to the bottom of my HyperCube printer. The mounts offer the benefit of positioning the mounting hole well away from the edge and applying gentle pressure on a wider area rather than a concentrated screw hole, thus minimizing the likelihood of cracking. By using these mounts, the panel becomes easy to remove without needing internal access. To use these panel mounts, drill a 6 mm hole in the panel 12 mm from the edge. Attach the mount with the bushing and a 3 mm x 8 mm screw and washer. Use a 5 mm screw and extrusion T-Nut to secure the other end to your 2020 extrusion. The bushing hole is self-tapping. The mount is designed for 3 mm thick panels but can be used with thicker panels. For thinner panels, you may need to shorten the bushing. This is the HyperCube Printer I am using these panel mounts on: http://www.thingiverse.com/make:272257 Print Settings: Printer: HyperCube Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 50% Notes: PLA works fine, ABS even better
