DLG Modular Wall Mount (Discus Launch Glider)

prusaprinters

This is a wall mount design that I created using Fusion 360 to hold DLGs (Discus hand Launch Gliders). I loosely based it on a cardboard DLG mount that I designed years ago. It has modules so that you can have 1 or multiple DLGs on a single wall mount. Each of the 3 modules that I include support a DLG at different angles. Centered so that the DLG is straight up and down, leaning left, and leaning right (referenced from standing and facing the wall). The purpose of the different angles is so that the tails don't hit each other.I have used up to 3 modules to support 3 DLGs on a single wall mount. You should be very cautious though because if your print is under-extruded or flawed in some other way, the strength of the mount that you print could be weaker. Make sure to test it with some kind of weight way over the maximum that you plan to use before putting your expensive DLGs on it.I am not using any felt or anything on the mount and haven't seen any wear on the leading edges in the month or so that I have been testing this, but I recommend using some kind of felt on the modules where the leading edge of the wings rest on the mount just to be cautious so that it doesn't scrape up your leading edges.I have only tested this with a Binary IV, Arctus DLG, and a Solar DLG. If you find that your fuse is too big and doesn't fit well, let me know.I used PLA for this but it will fail at some point in my experience (for me it was about 2 years). The constant pressure over time will make it deform near the top and eventually fail.  You should use a material like ABS that will hold up long term.Print SettingsPrinter:Duplicator 9 Rafts: NoSupports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mmInfill: 20%Filament: 3D Solutech PLA Silver  Notes: I printed this using 0.4 mm nozzle and support.Post-PrintingIf you have any issues with fit, you can use a file on the bottom edge of the clips. The clip mechanism fits nice and snug requiring a little pressure to snap it into place but printers can vary so you might need to file a little. Let me know how it works for you if you print it.  Category: R/C Vehicles
