Resistance band wall mount / anchor

prusaprinters

<p>Been working on a home gym and came up with this option for an resistance/exercise band wall mount.</p> <p>New model has smoother edges to hopefully reduce cutting of the resistance bands and your fingers. In my testing the model can take a lot of stress. Have not broken one yet. Will try soon</p> <p>Printing:<br/> Important: Place model on its side. With the logo and word mark facing up.slicer: Prusa Slicer<br/> Resolution: 0.20mm<br/> Raft: 3 layers to protect the side fillets.<br/> Vertical shells: 3<br/> Top and bottom shells: 5 and 4<br/> Infill: 25 to 50 %<br/> Infill pattern: Gyroid<br/> Printer: Prusa MK3<br/> Material: Only tested with PLA. It is remarkably strong with the Gyroid infill.<br/> Print times: 25% infill around 2 hours and 40 mins ish. 50% infill over 4 hours ish.</p> <p>The Gyroid infill pattern makes the part quite strong and does not add much to the overall print times. But USE THE MOUNTS AT YOUR OWN risk. So far in my testing they have never broken but their strength depends on so many factors you will have to be the judge.</p> <p>The design has the screws act to make the part stronger in the axis you are loading it so it should be very strong in theory.</p> <p>I mounted them to a stud with some 3 inch deck screws I had around the house. The wholes should fit any fastener under ¼ inch (7mm) with a head less then ½ inch (14mm) .</p> <p>Recommended Fasteners (not fully tested yet)<br/> 3 1/4" long, screws with a head size of 5/16" and a shaft thickness is 1/4</p> <p>Test them before pulling too hard on them!</p> <p>Please comment if you have ideas for making the mount stronger or any other improvements.</p> <p>Happy exercising</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print Settings<br/> Rafts:<br/> Yes</p> <p>Supports:<br/> Doesn't Matter</p> <p>Resolution:<br/> .2mm</p> <p>Infill:<br/> 25 to 50</p> <p>Notes:<br/> Updates Revision 3: Mar 13, 2020 - added large mounts still in beta Revision 2.1: Mar 1, 2020 - added mount with square centre hole.
