Description

This is a full fledged bracket sling for the Bug-A-Salt 2.0 gun. I am using it to hang it off the side of my fridge, as shown in the last picture. The other two loaded pictures show the two placements:

  • centered, which is balanced, but doesn't hold the gun as well
  • locked, which is off-center, but holds the gun tight. The bracket does not hang balanced.

This design is fully parameterized, but these dimensions seem to work really well, and fits on an Ender 3 (220mmx220m) when rotated 45 degrees on the bed. If your bed is smaller, you can adjust the br_space variable, but you'll have less stability holding the gun.

The design is in two pieces, the holder and the arm. The arm is designed to allow a strong magnet (mine is pulled from an old hard drive) to hold the bracket tightly to the top of the fridge, as shown. Tape on a clean surface would also work well. The two pieces mate with a joint, so if you have some different mounting need, feel free to design a different arm. You'll need 80mm between wall and fridge if you hang it like I did.

Alternatively, you could just hang it off a screw without printing the arm at all. Or two screws if you want to hang it unbalanced.

Extra tip: since this is load bearing, you'll be better off printing so the layers aren't pulling apart. Don't forget to add internal support to the arm if you do it on its side.
