1/2" PVC Easy Remove Mount System

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

I wanted a mounting system to hang 1/2" PVC with RGB Pixels for my holiday lighting show. Not all parts are required based on what your needs are.
Base: You will mount the base to your house using a #8 x 3/4" stainless wood screw. Print vertical on the flat edge to your bed. This gives the best strength for layering.
Cover: This will mount to either the 30mm, 49mm, or extender with a #8 x 3/4" screw. Print with the top on the bed in the vertical orientation for strength and no need for supports.
Clips: I used the 30mm extenders with built in clips for my needs. I had a couple instances where I had to exend another 3/4" and made 49mm lengths. Print with the C flat on the bed.
If you want a custom lentgh, use the extender and scale it, then use the clip which will also need to be screwed onto the extender.
I did have a few clips break, so for the 30 & 49mm pcs, I added a hole so a zip tie could be added for extra measure.
I used 2 walls for all of them with PETG, 35% infill. Base can be painted to match house color. Note installed pic was before I added the zip tie hole. Base/Cover/Clip can be oriented 90deg if installed in tight places like under the gutter. I used them every 3'. For window frames I used 2 on top and 2 on bottom. No failures once installed this season.
