Introducing the AMS Lite Wall Mount with an optional safety strap, designed to be printed on an A1 Mini. Free up some desk space by attaching your AMS Lite to a wall or in my case, particle board because I haven't decided on a location yet.  Bill of materials at the bottom. Some important details before you print: I take no responsibility if the mount fails. By using this mount, you accept any and all risk.Mount it to a stud or use high-quality drywall anchors.If you download the STLs instead of the 3mf, you need to split into parts and max out the walls of the two “inserts” for extra strength. The mounting holes are reinforced independently of the rest of the model. See the last two pictures to get a better idea.The strap is optional. The mount should be fine, but it gives me peace of mind to have it in place. The spools may rub on it a bit, but I have not seen any negative side effects.The 3mf file's settings are designed with safety in mind, you may be able to adjust things to save some filament and time. Some more info, known issues, and future plans for the curious:There were some design challenges as the cable to the AMS is a fixed length, so the mount was designed to have the unit upside down to allow for as much line as possible. This is the 34th iteration. I really need to get better with Fusion…There is a gap between the lid and the feed due to the taper of the legs. It doesn't really matter, but it is sloppy, so it needs to be fixed. You can shove some foam in the gap if it bothers you.The nut slots at the bottom are the only things that require supports. I hate supports and will be looking at alternatives.Along the same lines as the nut slots, I wanted to make a slot for the strap underneath but that would require more supports. Still looking at other options. If you run into any issues, please let me know. I will keep tweaking the design based on any feedback I receive. Bill of materials. Some links are part of an Amazon Associate program, and I may receive compensation from qualifying purchases.  Straps:There are a couple of different options at different prices. Velcro:What I used: Velcro 1.5" Heavy DutyCheaper: Velcro 1" Heavy DutyCinch Straps - Untested:MasterwiseMagarrow Screws:M4 x 60mm Nuts - I'm putting a link to just the nuts, but also one to a “starter kit”, because if you are getting into 3d printing, you should have a lot of different sizes of screws and nuts on hand for all the projects you will inevitably start. Just the nutsM3, M4, M5, M6 Assortment kit Drywall screws - I used #8, but #10 should work as well.Pan head drywall with anchors assortment kit
