Description
A 3D model to create a riser foot with spikes to hold it in place on a carpet.
I was mounting some components on floor of my Jeep. I had two use cases: one was to level out a component due to the contours of the Jeep floor. The other was to mount a component to the floor, but wanted risers to encourage airflow to keep the component cool.
This project uses OpenSCAD to create a cuboid that has carpet spikes on on face of it. In my case I used VHB tape to affix is to the components being supported.
This model has the following parameters that you can use to customize it.
| Parameter | Description |
| foot_height | Foot height in the z direction. This dimension does not include the carpet teeth. |
| foot_width | Width of the foot in the x direction. |
| foot_depth | Depth of the foot in the y direction. |
| teeth_rows_x | Number of rows for teeth in the x direction (width) |
| teeth_cols_y | Number of columns for teeth in the y direction (depth) |
| min_teeth_spacing | Minimum spacing needed between teeth |
This model is built using the tools listed below and must be installed in order to customize the model.
The OpenSCAD file for this model is uploaded here. You can also get the latest version on the Carpet Riser Foot GitHub repo.
