Arduino Mega Clip Mount Base

thingiverse

This is the ultimate platform for mounting an Arduino Mega.\nRequires zero screws or spacers to mount the massive Mega board.\nScrew it into your gadget (4 holes), then simply slide the board directly into the slot. Once it's fully inserted, a small pin snaps perfectly into a secure mounting hole on the board to hold it in place. To remove, simply push the tab down and release the pin while sliding your Mega board out smoothly. \nThe "Mega Base web.stl" has native support for FDM printing integrated right into the slot in case your slicer is having trouble generating proper supports for it. On my first print, the little support segments came off effortlessly with a small screwdriver. (version 1) \nFor version 2 I made significant enhancements by adding countersinks in the mounting holes so you can use either 3MM or #4-40 flat-head screws when mounting to avoid any potential interference issues. \nVersion 3 is the most recent and offers numerous improvements, including optimized slots for seamless fits right off the build plate with minimal interference on the bottom of the board. Additional slots were added on the outside for easy integration with a cover which will be released soon. \nThe base was edited to add: After printing version 3 (with "simplify3d slicer), I'm thrilled to report that once the support material was removed, it came out like a zipper and the board fit the base perfectly without any further refinements or cleanup (filing, deburring, etc.).
