Square Aluminum Tube Construction Collection

thingiverse

Thanks to Lazyguyaqua for the initial spark that ignited this design! This is my remix (complete rebuild) of the original masterpiece, and it's far from finished. Check back later for updates as I add more configurations. To print on the flat side, you'll never need supports for the internal ceilings, which are all circular in shape. All brackets have hollow centers to allow wires to pass through seamlessly. This bracket slips snugly inside a 1-inch Outside dimension Aluminum Extruded Tube with a 1/16 inch wall thickness - keep that in mind when selecting materials. The holes are precisely positioned at 1/2 inch and 1 1/8 inch from the open ends, accommodating 1/4 inch (and M6) hardware. Secure them with locking nuts. Depending on your machine's calibration, some minor sanding of the plastic may be required. I printed this bracket in PETG for its exceptional strength and low shrinkage properties. The print came out a bit stringy, but I'm confident that fine-tuning my Prusa Mk2/s settings will yield better results. This bracket is the foundation to my innovative unmodified LCD Monitor SLA Printer project, utilizing a 21-inch LCD monitor as the core component. It will run on basic electrical components and easily sourced 1-inch extruded aluminum square tube from local hardware stores. The printer uses Daylight curable resin with no modifications needed to the display - a major advantage. I have 15 of these monitors collecting dust, and this project promises to be an exciting adventure.
