Description
The bracket installs below the gutter - use the included drill template and qty 3-6 (3 should be adequate) M5 screws with washers and nuts (and preferably lock washers as well). The modular coupling can be used by itself or joined to itself multiple times. Best to print it in ASA or ABS in hot climates like Florida or Arizona. IMPORTANT - add an M3 lock washer between TP-Link's metal ball and this printed extender to ensure that a tight grip on the solar panel will be achieved after choosing the optimum angle for the solar panel. The tread on TP-Link's mating hd'we is essentially a 1 inch major diameter with a 2mm pitch. I have verified the fit-up of the threads is good with the TAPO mounting base. 10/24 - Added ‘KnuckleJoint’ extender step file to get a better angle of attack on the sun in relation to gutter.
