Description

This is a minimalistic rod-mount for your printrbot electronics. Simply use 4 zipties to mount the board onto your M8 threaded rods. No screws needed.

The STL file is configured to fit onto the original Printrboard Electronics board ( printrbot.com/shop/printrboard-electronics/ ) but you can change the parameters in the scad file to attach other dimensions too....

UPDATE:
- Uploaded a version 3 which has 2 extra holes to fit the Sanguinololu board too.
- Uploaded a version 4 with larger holes, for better fitting and easier printing..

Instructions

1. Print 2 instances ( of printrmount-ziptie-v4.stl)
2. Take 4 zipties
2. Install

TIP: It's even better to mount the board upside down on the upper rods, so you have better access to the connectors, especially the power-cable connector.

For the Sanguinololu use the outer and the inner holes.
For the Printrboard use the outer and the middle holes.

If you need this mount with other dimensions ( other rod diameter , another mount hole distance, more flesh around the rods, ... ) you can edit all these parameters in the scad file.

Enjoy !

Hello. Can you make a little modifications to put the Sanguinololu board on top of your mounts? The metric version of the PrintrBot i have is 6cm from rod to rod (center of it) and the board has the mounting holes 4.3cm apart (M3 holes)

It will be so great!! Anyway Good Job!!

Thanks mate!!

Hi Iceflow - thx for adding the info. I added 2 extra zip holes that are 43mm apart. Let me know if it fits your Sanguinololu board!

If anyone has (metric) hole distances for other types of electonics boards used on printrbot , please post them here, and I'll make versions available per type of board.
