Easel Leg Mount & Clip

thingiverse

This is a simple mount and clip set for a generic easel that I acquired that was missing a leg. The mount and clip are designed to take a leg no thicker than 19mm (I used 18mm ply) 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 an angle of 20° as recommended by a really, really quick internet search. 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.
