3D printer source files for a Neptune Systems Trident Mounting Bracket

[SDJustin]

I wanted to mount 2x tridents off the 'floor' of my aquarium stand. A few hours in AutoDesk Fusion 360 and a few dozen hours of printing resulted in this. It's not perfect, but it works and seem sturdy enough to be completely safe for the Trident. (of course you have to know how to 3D print or have it professionally printed)

Neptune Systems Trident Mounting Bracket by jhardin

A way to mount a Neptune Systems 'parallel' to the mounting surface. I used this under my stand, and mounted with #8 3/4" stainless steel screws. UPDATE: I added a 'single piece tray' STL file for folks with larger print volumes. The single tray part will need a print volume of Width 142.627 mm...

nice work

How large of a printer do you need for this?

Very nice.

I, too, am a Fusion360 user... increasingly alarmed due to their changing licensing scheme.

Downloaded FreeCAD a few weeks ago. Trying to get comfortable using it. It's different, certainly. Frustrating, sometimes, but most F360 knowledge isn't wasted.

Wow! Thank you. I was literally just about to design one of these, you saved me the trouble!

Actually, could you upload the tray as one piece? I have a big printer.....

The two tray portions need a 156mm L, 143mm W, & 60mm H print volume each.

The support needs a 135mm L, 125mm W, 120mm H print volume.

Howdy. I added two additional .stl files in thingiverse.
single_piece_complete.stl
single_piece_tray.stl
