Scoreboard mount

This is a mount used to fix a pétanque scoreboard to a wooden post, used in particular for my own scoreboard design (https://www.printables.com/model/508599). I have published it as it could be useful for other situations where someone may wish to mount a board temporarily on a post or wall.

It uses two pairs of flush bracket mounts for cabinets & pictures, top and bottom of the scoreboard. These were not used directly on the board; the stand-off provided by this mount makes it easier to line everything up on a rough fence post that may not be entirely straight. The matching bracket is screwed directly to the post, but the other way up (obviously!).

I used brackets similar to these, which are fairly common. They have a hole spacing of approximately 34.5mm, but it is possible that the hole spacing of the ones you find will be different - if this is the case, change the variable screwHoleSeparation in the SCAD file and re-compile.

Notes:

I made mine using PETG, but ABS is also very suitable. PLA may not be durable enough long-term in an open air environment. I used 3 walls and 3 layers top and bottom, with a brim while printing.
