I liked a few of the VSOs that were posted earlier and wanted to share two of my more recent creations.

This mount screws into an exposed 2x4 and lets me get my Synology DS418, its power brick, and UPS (APC BE600M1) off a table and into a lower dust area of my basement.

I'll upload the STLs to printables if anyone is interested, but be warned that the parts are fairly large.

In the spirit of showing parts under unflattering lighting, here's (nearly) the same angle with a different light source.

What kind of filament is that printed with and are you concerned about it failing over time? Especially if there's spinning disks in there I'd be paranoid as hell about it falling.

[-] charles@lemmy.world 36 points 8 months ago

This scares the hell out of me. Too much risk of damage. Heat, weight, and time.

[-] IMALlama@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

There's basically no heat involved. It sounds like you're worried about creap, which is totally fair and something to be aware of. The parts are printed out of ASA and are very overbuilt, so there shouldn't be any cause for concern.

It looks beefy enough to me

Yeah. That’ll be good.

This man has never heard of 3d2a :P

[-] IMALlama@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

It's printed out of ASA, which basically doesn't creap. It's also wayyyy overbuilt for the amount of weight it's supporting. I'm not at all worried about it failing over time.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

As long as it's not pla. That's a ticking time bomb.

[-] IMALlama@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It's ASA, should be more than fine :)

[-] owen@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

I think it looks fine, the layers are aligned appropriately and it seems at least 5mm thick

[-] Jayb151@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I disagree. It seems that the letters are along where the stress is, which can eventually cause determination. This part scares me when you consider how important what it's holding it's.

He said in another spot that it's ASA.
