MP Maker Select V2 Lack Enclosure Control Box Mount

thingiverse

I was constructing an Ikea Lack table based enclosure and I needed a sturdy underslung control box mount. Dirtsky's mounts were a solid foundation, but I also wanted to incorporate a mount for an SD card extender/adapter as the stock slot would not be easily accessible. I also desired a stronger means of support for the mount because the bottom of the Lack table is only 1/8" thick MDF, so I enlarged the mount holes to accept some 1/4" bolts. I drilled 1/8" pilot holes in the Lack table where I wanted to place the mounts, then drilled 5/16" through holes to accept 1/4" T-nuts and 1 1/4" bolts. I hammered these into the top and used 1/4" x 2 1/4" bolts to secure the mounts from underneath. In addition, I drilled some 5/16" holes underneath about an inch from the bolt locations. I then injected enough Great Stuff foam sealant for windows and doors into the holes to fill in around the bolts and fill the hollow space inside the Lack table. This will increase the strength of the table and provide additional support for the control box. Overkill? Maybe, but I feel more confident about my control box not ripping out of that thin MDF material. Parts List: 4 - 1/4" x 20 T-Nuts 4 - 1/4" x 20 x 2 1/4" bolt (2 1/2" if 2 1/4" aren't available...they'll just stick up a bit.) SD Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY5QB2Z
