Description
Like it says, I needed shorter legs to fit on a small shelf, and put some nice round padd feet on them. Figured while I was at it I'd do a couple variations; Added screw holes, or pockets for hot glue or other adhesive, and pockets for magnets.
Then I figured it needed view holes for the LEDs, and vent holes. At this point it got involved.
The original STL would Not become manifold though, with several tries in mesh software, and even converted fully to polygon mesh in Openscad, it had too many issues for extensive editing. So, I fully remodeled in Openscad , using the original as a template,( and to directly steal geometry to cut the Mango pocket profile), so material could be removed, not just added.
screw pockets are for a #6 flat head wood screw.
Yes, glue pockets are just the same screw holes in from the bottom. squirt the glue, in my case hot glue, or Liquid Nails Fuze-It, into the countersink, fill with some excess, then mount. Excess glue comes out the top hole, so you know its bubble free. wipe off the excess, mush it flat like a rivet to increase hold, or cut off after its dry. Simple!
Magnet version has pockets in the bottom of the feet to glue in magnet discs. I went with 10mmX3mm so anything up to and including that could be used.
I can release OpenSCAD source if there is any interest, and I will be doing a wall mount version soon too( Mango laying down on an X instead of stood up like these are. )
