FT5 713 Maker Dual RJ45 Mount (Ultralight)

Edit 2/4/19: I have successfully tested and printed the mount, which works as intended without colliding with other hardware. Edit 2/21/19: Following your request, I have uploaded a version of this breakout that should prevent belt rubbing; it's labeled "Clearance (CL)". Please let me know if this offset needs to be increased. Edit 4/5/19: At your request, I have uploaded a third version of the standoff labeled "TALL" to provide an additional 3mm offset from the gantry plate than the clearance version, for a total of 12mm. I have also uploaded Fusion and .STEP files for both the Clearance standoff (CL) and Tall standoff (TALL). As the Clearance version has shown success, I will no longer support the original version of this design, now designated "slim". Although it still works, I have been using it for months, and the newer designs are improved. Unfortunately, the original Fusion archive was lost. I've noticed that older versions of the 713 Maker parts do not have accessory mounting holes. If you wish to drill your own, I've uploaded the dimensions in the comments courtesy of user bwaslo. Alternatively, if you don't want to drill your parts, I'll be attempting a clamp-on version of the mount in the near future. This is a simple mount designed for Dual RJ45 breakout boards, intended to attach to the back of a 713Maker Ultralight FT5 carriage. The screw holes for the aluminum plate were created using the supplied drawings, so they are accurate. The mount fits over the drive belt and does not cause binding or excessive friction. Supports are unnecessary; print as oriented with the chamfers facing down. Screw the printed breakout standoff to the carriage plate using 2 M3x12 screws with the supplied hardware threads. Then mount the breakout board to the standoff using 4 M3x8 screws. These were designed to be a tight fit, and the screws will thread into the plastic with sufficient force. You will need: * 2 M3x20 screws (Clearance) * or * 2 M3x12 screws (Standard) * 4 M3x8 screws * 1 RJ45 Breakout Board https://smile.amazon.com/Ethernet-Connector-Breakout-Board-terminals/dp/B072J59H5X/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1549133347&sr=1-4&keywords=rj45+breakout I'm glad to say that this design is gaining a lot of success, and I'm happy you're all enjoying it. If you haven't found it helpful or if there are improvements I should make, please let me know! While I can't always guarantee a speedy response or upload, I will do my best.
