Description
I designed this mounting sytem to clamp onto pipes typically used in antenna mounts and masts. Once securely clampd onto the pipe it provides two rails on either side for you to slide your electonics box and panel onto.
I've provided two mounts to attach to the rails: one for a Sonoff waterproof box and one you can attach a cheapo solar panel swivel mount onto. There are clamps for various pipe diameters I've encoutered in antenna masts so far, if you need a different one you can modify the parameter in the fusion360 source file and export it again.
The source files in Fusion360 have parameters defined for pipe diameter and solar panel mount hole spacing. You can tweak these parameters and make your own versions of the mounts, or just design your own adapters for whatever you wish to fit. Go to Modify > Change parameters > modify what you need, then go to Utilities > Make and choose format .3mf, select the part from the list on the left and click OK.
Required hardware:
4pcs. M5 screws (> 30mm long) + bolts + washers
