Why this design, compared to alternatives out there?

  • Low amount of filament consumption (17.5g each, with 20% infill and 4 perimeters)
  • Less filament consumption = a quicker print
  • Use of just a single T-nut & screw
  • Can be mounted/removed with the squash ball (pre-)installed in the 3D-print.
  • Designed for the correct screw length, with some leeway; with some other designs you risk(/will) damage your extrusions.
  • Lock on ‘hook’-feature, making assembly real easy

Necessary hardware (BOM)
