Mosaic Palette+ Scroll Wheel Mount

thingiverse

Personally, I'm not convinced velcro is the most aesthetically pleasing design choice for securing critical hardware on my printer...\r\n\r\nThis setup utilizes a V2 scroll wheel and I assume it won't work with older scroll wheels, but feel free to experiment and let me know if you're wrong.\r\n\r\nThis mount comes in two parts to enable permanent attachment of the base to a printer and effortless movement of the scroll wheel/palette between printers. To achieve this, you'll need to print one copy of the "top" model and one "mount" model for each location where you'd like to attach the scroll wheel.\r\n\r\nI provide an extrusion mounting base that utilizes a drop-in t-nut to mount to most printers. There's also a taz mount available for Lulzbot printers, which use a slightly smaller slot diameter t-slot. For convenience, I've included a base with 3mm screw holes and one with 6mm screw holes (which work well with most woodworking screws).\r\n\r\nComponents:\r\n * M3 screws\r\n * 50mm spacer (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5SDUVJ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) \r\n * For extrusion mounting: drop-in t-nuts (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FOC6A70/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)\r\n\r\nTo assemble and use the mount, remove the three screws securing the acrylic top to the scroll wheel. Using appropriately sized M3 screws attach the printed top in its place.\r\n\r\nTo construct a base, use M3 screws to attach two spacers to the two recessed holes.\r\n\r\nTo secure the scroll wheel to a base, use any diagonal pair of mounting points on the top and M3 screws to attach it to the spacers. The various mounting points offer multiple options to find an angle that suits your printer configuration.
