OttLite Swivel Mount Replacement Part

pinshape

I have a standing Ottlite that's been held together by duct tape, but I'm not satisfied with this makeshift solution. Enter my 3D printer, which has saved the day once again. I designed a replacement mounting arm using 3D Builder, and after a trip to Lowes for some hardware, I was able to connect it all up for under $5. The result is a sturdy and reliable Ottlite that's holding up great. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator+ Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 200 mils Infill: 50% Notes: I always print with a raft because it gives me better results, so feel free to skip it if you prefer. I set supports for the larger bolt hole to ensure it was printed to perfection. With 50% infill, this part is rock solid and ready for anything. Post-Printing: Smaller Bolt Hole: The smaller bolt hole is a tight fit for the OEM bolt, but that's exactly what I wanted - minimal play and a secure hold. It's a deliberate design choice that ensures my Ottlite stays put. Large Bolt Hole: For the large bolt, I swapped out the OEM bolt for a 3/8" x 2 1/2" bolt with some flat washers and a locking nut featuring a nylon ring inset in the nut. This upgrade provides extra security and peace of mind.
