<p>Detailed Discussion in this video: <a href="https://youtu.be/CczqSuy2NOw">https://youtu.be/CczqSuy2NOw</a></p> <p>This system allows you to mount a device to a display and have the device remain aligned to the display. If the display rotates, the device will as well.</p> <p>This is especially helpful for things like Eye Gaze devices for Assistive Technology users (and gamers, it turns out) and perhaps cameras and more.</p> <p>This system is based on our prototype "Watch band" mount for the Tobii EyeX eye gaze device: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2266941">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2266941</a> which should be considered obsolete.</p> <p>To use this system, you will need a Base, some links, and a device connection. Right now we have one base (the VESA mount) and two device connections (the EyeX and 4C eye gaze devices). Additional bases such as tablet &amp; laptop mounts as well as additional devices such as cameras will be added to this system.</p> <h3>Assembly</h3> <p>To connect the hinges, use #6 or 1/8" bolts at least 2" long. Or M4 metric bolts at least 50mm long (55 or 60 is better). Matching lock-nuts are ideal and will be captured.</p> <p>Imperial #6-32 bolts can be ordered here: <a href="https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=1548">https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=1548</a></p> <p>With matching Nuts: <a href="https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=18193">https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=18193</a></p> <p>M4-60 bolts can be ordered her: <a href="https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=17895">https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=17895</a></p> <p>With matching Nuts: <a href="https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=4802">https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=4802</a></p> <p>In either case, we found it best to insert neoprene washers to help the flat side of the screw to help it gain friction.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Ultimaker</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ultimaker 2</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>25%+</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Some of the designs benefit from supports. 25% infill is a minimum for structural support.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Tools
