Description
It happened several times to me that the purchased YS brackets broke after a mounting/unmounting them a few times.
Since these are quite expensive here (~12-15 €) I thought I can make them better and here is the result.
I would really recommend to use the 0,12High Quality Profile with 25% infill for the bracket, with that you get best results for the thread in the bracket and also stability (if printed with PETG) and flexibility. Even if you try to break the bracket with force it will not fall apart (like the purchased ones)
Keep in mind: The PETG must be really dry otherwise your print results will be awkward!
The only thing what you need is a M8x35mm hex screw.
The hex screw will fit very tightly, it might need some pressure to squeeze it in, then use some glue to fix the lid.
If you then shake the Hexmount (screw and llid placed correctly), you shouldn't here anything.
If you hear the screw moving, then the lid is not placed correctly.
Happy Printing
