Powerblock Bracket

thingiverse

I created this universal Powerblock Bracket to neatly store the Powerblock of my Micro PC underneath my desktop. I created it in Fusion 360, and used Meshmixer to create the .stl file. I printed it on XYZ da Vinci Mini w. How I Designed This basic thoughts The bracket should have an open jaw to easily remove the powerblock when needed. It is screwed to the bottom of a desk with 2 wood screws utilizing the 4mm dia holes in the top of the bracket. The bottom of the bracket received 15 mm diameter holes for easy access of the screwdriver to actually reach the screws. It can also mounted on a wall, receiving the powerblock from the top. In that case I might extend the width of the bracket from 30mm to 50mm..... I incorporated a groove in the top and bottom, close to the open jaw. A rubberband (to be applied to the top BEFORE tightening down the bracket) helps with the weight and also secures the Powerblock in the bracket. The bracket is a little deeper that the Powerblock, allowing to back-route the cable within the bracket if needed (like in my case). As I have not figured out a simple way to create "counterbore" holes in Fusion 360, I just used my powerdrill with a countersunk bit to prepare the mounting-holes to receive Flathead woodscrews.
