Samsung SmartThings Motion Sensor Magnetic Mount

thingiverse

I previously designed some "ball & socket" type mounts for my SmartThings motion sensors around my house, but after a few weeks they loosened up and wouldn't hold the sensor in place. I wanted a simple low-profile mount that would easily allow me to swivel and remove the sensors to change batteries, so I didn't want anything that required tools. These are fixed downward angles, one at 78 degrees and another at about 72 degrees, which I just eyeballed for position. I may add another at a lower angle yet for those who want it to point down even further. They can rotate 360 degrees around the base. I used double-sided adhesive foam tape to mount the base to the ceiling, and the other half fits onto the sensor using the keyhole mount on the back, with just enough play to level out the sensor. I imagine it could be used with other keyhole-based products as well, if they are light enough. Each mount uses two 12x3mm magnets that I got very cheap from the local big box store. Print Settings: Printer: Original Prusa i3 MK2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: .2mm Infill: 20% Cubic Notes: The supports were a bit of a pain to remove from the larger piece. I printed with PETG first, but the supports caused issues since they stick so well. I tried printing on its back and the print quality turned out poor. I ended up using AIO PLA, which the supports removed easily from and matched my sensor better as well.
