SmartThings Hub Mount (Gen 3) for small printers
Description
Papaslights posted a great hub mount from which this was remixed. I really liked the design, but it was too large to print on my Monoprice Mini Delta, so I decided to chop it up so it would fit. This is my second iteration (the first had 4 identical parts but was complex and my printer was not accurate enough to print it so that it would fit well, and it would have required either gluing it, or having it screwed down with 4 screws to a wall or other surface to hold it together) which works well, though when I printed it I neglected to take into account that the 4th arm wouldn't be able to fit past the other three in the middle to lock in. I ended up having to cut notches (as in the pictures) to make it fit, and then designed that into the arms (but have not tested the new design). So, this is a work in progress, and I would appreciate any feedback if you happen to try to print the arms with the cut outs to make the hub mount. In short, though, this hub mount is printable on a small printer (the MPMD has a print surface of 110mm in diameter) and snaps together without any extra hardware or glue. I used Cura as my slicer and enabled tree supports to support the top of the arms as the tree supports only contact the base and not the rest of the model.
