Universal Multiboard Clip Mount (w/.step files)

This is a two part design that I made to allow me to mount nearly anything to the face of a Multiboard tile. Part A gets combined into whatever you want to mount using the combine function in Fusion 360. It has a slot for a captive M3 nut but it also works if you remove the slot and make the hole in part A slightly smaller so that you can screw directly into the plastic instead of using a nut. Part B is the screw on latch that gets fastened to part A with an M3*8mm screw. The whole assembly then snaps onto the Multiboard as shown in the photos. All of the things mounted on the Multiboard in the photos have been mounted using this mount.

You can use as many or as few mounts as your model requires and you can stack them vertically or horizontally 25mm apart to match the Multiboard large hole spacing.

Requirements:

You need a 4 to 5mm gap between the back of the tile and the wall (2mm for the print itself + screw head height).

One M3*8mm screw + M3 nut per mount (you can also remove the captive nut slot and make the part A hole smaller in Fusion if you want to screw directly into the plastic instead of using a nut).

It's designed to be printed upside down in order to not have to deal with supports. The taper on the top of part A can also be chopped off if your model isn't tall enough to need it which is what I did for the example print shown in the photos. For reference, the last two photos show an example that uses four mounts on one model, the top two have the taper cut off and the bottom two are left whole so you can see how they look both ways.

How to add it to your model in Fusion 360:

Download the part A .step file, upload it to Fusion 360, and insert it into whatever model you're working on.

Arrange/move part A so that the flat side with the M3 nut pocket is flat against whatever you're mounting and then use the combine tool in Fusion to join the two parts together.

Print settings:

Both parts can be printed using the recommended print settings for the Multiboard components so you should be able to use your existing Multiboard print profile if you have one. I have found printing at .28mm layer height instead of .2mm works very well though and saves some time on printing so you can experiment with whatever works best for you.

Mounting:

Simply align the mounts to the Multiboard holes and snap it down into place. If it's too tight of a fit and you find that it doesn't want to snap on, loosen the screws a little and try again. The first few times mounting the print might be a little tight but usually after a few times mounting and removing it I'm usually able to tighten the screws all the way.
