Slide-on Accessory Mount for Taz 6

thingiverse

I created this modular accessory mount as a flexible attachment that slides onto the bed of my Taz 6. I suspect it will work on other Taz models, as well as a variety of other printers, but I cannot guarantee its compatibility.\nThere are two components to this design: the clip that attaches to the bed mounting plate and a simple cap that fits over the clip's vertical riser. The cap is an easy print, so multiple caps can be printed for quick swaps of different accessories. To make the cap customizable, I added two holes on top that should allow you to attach almost any accessory. These holes are designed to accommodate thermoset inserts. (If you're not already using these inserts, you're missing out. Installing them is as simple as placing them on a soldering iron and pushing them into the hole.)\nOnce the inserts are in place, you can either mount accessories like cameras or lighting directly to the cap or design a custom mount that accommodates both the accessory and the cap if needed. I've included a drawing for the cap with dimensions. As an amateur designer, my drawing may not meet industry standards but it should suffice.\nThe mount is positioned far enough away from the bed's edge to allow mounting almost any accessory without worrying about it being hit by the print head when printing near the front of the bed.\nI've also included versions of the clip that work on any corner of the bed. The clip holds well in other locations on the bed; my requirement is a corner mount but you can use it anywhere you prefer.\nI hope this design proves useful to some users!\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: LulzBot\nPrinter: TAZ 6\nRafts: No\nSupports: No\nResolution: .40\nInfill: 15%
