Easel Leg Mount & Clip

thingiverse

This is a simple mount and clip set for an easel that I acquired which was missing a leg. The mount and clip are designed to take a leg no thicker than 19mm, which is exactly the thickness of my 18mm plywood piece, secured with an M5 bolt & nut for the hinge. There are counter sunk screw holes that will suit approximately an 8g or less wood screw for fixing into the tripod frame. The mount itself has an integrated stop that creates an open angle of 20° as recommended by a quick internet search I conducted. I cut the leg on a laser, but it could easily be cut using a jigsaw, table saw, by hand, or another material could be used.
