Modular Hook For Helmets and Things

thingiverse

All parts are precision-engineered to fit together seamlessly, much like interlocking pieces of a puzzle. These components should provide more than enough strength to support helmets and Boosted Board remotes. The remote clip was specifically designed with Boosted Board remotes in mind, but other remotes may also fit; if the tolerance is too tight or loose, please let me know and I'll be happy to assist. ## Customize * Download OpenSCAD if you don't already have it to customize your clip depth. The clips are fully customizable, allowing you to choose from two different orientations: vertical or horizontal. To do this, open either the Vertical_Clip.scad or Horizontal_Clip.scad file in OpenSCAD and adjust the value on the first line (clipDepth) to your desired thickness in millimeters. You will also need to have the corresponding .stl files in the same location as the .scad file you are editing. Render your clip by pressing F6, then export the STL and slice it in your favorite slicer. By default, the vertical clip depth is set to 20mm, while the horizontal clip depth is set to 22.25mm. ## Fit * Some connections may be a bit tight, but with a little force they should snap into place easily. To attach the remote clip to the hook body, if necessary, slide a thin hex key or metal ruler between the spring part and the bottom of the top part of the clip and use it for leverage. The middle part of the hook body at the top is designed to break apart in order to clip into the top clips. There are two counterbore holes designed to fit M3 6mm hex Screws (6mm depth max.). This is optional, but if you plan on attaching heavier objects, it's recommended. However, I believe the connection is strong enough without it. ## Attachments * Print and attach as many Boosted Board remote clips as you like; they snap onto each other easily. If you have any questions or ideas for improvements, please let me know. Enjoy!
