The 3D-1031 print part is used to fasten a 20 mm profile to plate material, such as the bottom of a housing. The 3D-1031 fastener is screwed to the profile with the aid of an SM-5x8 cylinder head screw and an SN-20-M5 slot nut (see pictures »Fastening« and »Accessories«). The laterally protruding lug has a hole for an M4 screw and sufficient space for an M4 washer, which can then be used to fasten it to the panel material. The type and length of the screw must be selected according to the requirements of the panel material.

The 3D-1031 fastener is used, among other things, in our application examples to screw the profile base of the Czerny-Turner spectrometers to the baseplate of the MDF housing (see »Application example« image).

Depending on the current space requirements in the respective application, it may be that it would be more favorable if the fastening lug were located on the other side of the aluminum profile. For this purpose, there is the 3D-1030 floor mounting with correspondingly mirrored mounting lug.

This 3D-printed part is a component of one of our DIY spectrometers, for which we periodically publish application examples. However, it can also be used to easily set up other optoelectronic experiments. For more information on the basic functions of the individual 3D-printed parts, see here: »The Idea Behind Our Construction Kit«

In addition to the STEP files for quick reprinting, the FreeCAD files are also freely available here, making it easy to modify the 3D-printed parts to adapt an experiment to your specific needs.

For printing the parts, we use 3D printers from Prusa and Bambu Lab with PLA filament in-house. If you do not own a 3D printer but would still like to replicate our experiments, please contact us. We are sure to find a solution together. In the near future, we also plan to offer finished printed parts as well as complete modules through our Maker web shop.

You can find the assembly instructions for the modules, the complete spectrometer and the application examples published so far on the linked subpages.
