Projector Ceiling Mount
Description
Instructions
Don't forget a safety leash, in case of total failure - I use 650 lb kite line, should do the trick.

Nice I love it when people post stuff you can use. Ceiling mounts can cost north of 50 dollars in tte right places.
This is ballsy and fantastic. I like the idea of trying to see how much weight printed objects can support or defy... an excellent example. Boss!
Did you use PLA or ABS? How much does your projector weigh? I know that ABS is plenty strong, but I'm less sure of PLA.
Also what machine did you print that with? it's really clean. :)
PLA has a slightly higher tensile strength than ABS, but it's also a bit more brittle, which means that it will break if you bend it too far. Used properly though, it's pretty strong.
The projector weighs about 5 lbs; I've been using the mount for several days now without any problems. If anything gives out though, I've still got the 650 lb kite line to a 280 lb concrete anchor - I think it'll stay up there. :)
Printed it on my printed Mendel - thanks, it did turn out nicely

You should put in some tooth notches in the joint area to create a better locking system.
