### back support for motherboard bracket for Ghostbusters q-pack by mr_kiou Thanks to mr_kiou for its wonderful work and for his great passion for Ghostbuster ! https://www.thingiverse.com/mr_kiou/designs The "bracket_01.stl" piece is attached to the motherboard and to the "gun_mount_box" piece from which the Wand is then hung. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to tighten the bolts on the back due to the limited space. But considering that it has to support the weight of the Wand it is very important that this tightening is stable and strong. We have posted the problem in various Forums and many have given us various helpful suggestions. Giordano Corazón Amidani suggested using a metal back plate with threaded holes. Starting from this idea we have developed this simple plate to be printed in 3D to be glued on the back so that it is possible to tighten the two M3 bolts with force. (other diameters aswell) ###Update 12-24-2022 - version 1.3 Once we verified that the system works, we decided to extend it to the other brackets as well. We have designed holders for the "bracket_02.stl" and "bracket_03.stl" which, in theory, need no glue to stay in place. The size is so that the support is held in place in the bracket as soon as you insert either scerw, whether you decide to fix the bracket first to the motherboard and then to the proton pack or vice versa. You need M6x24-30 bolts, the M6x20 are too short to secure the mount, they don't come out far enough. The purpose of these supports is to hold the nut until the bolt is driven in, after which the bolt will pull the nut after it. The code is very easy to understand even for those unfamiliar with OpenSCAD and we have placed all the variables in the Customizer so that it is possible to adapt this object to other uses as well. Excuse the variable names in Italian, but the comments should be clear For those who don't know OpenSCAD and don't want to learn it, just download the program from https://openscad.org/downloads.html, open this file, modify the variables in the "Customizer" window, type F5 for a first preview, F6 for the Render and finally F7 to generate the .STL file The default values are the ones we used and worked well for us: see photo. Depending on how you printed the proton pack bracket you might have tho change them ### Thingivere Customizer Note We have always worked in OpenSCAD but it is the first project we upload to Thingiverse. The Thingiverse Customizer based on OpenSCAD is automatically activated. But unfortunately an error appears: "We're sorry, but something went wrong." which makes it unusable by Thingiverse We have searched the Documentation and on the web but without finding a solution, even though we understand that it is a very frequent error. If some user still wants to modify it, the only solution is to download OpenSCAD and modify it. The operation is very simple even if it is the first time you use OpenSCAD and you have no intention of learning it.
