Important alignment information: The design of the XLS Snowflake is not symmetrical about its axis. Variations in pixel hole locations exist between 2-4 millimeters if the prop is mirrored horizontally or vertically. If the mounts were designed to fit perfectly with this asymmetry, then each mount would be a unique design and any rotation, horizontal or vertical flip from that one orientation would cause the mounts to fit quite poorly. This obviously would be problematic, so the mounts have been designed to fit in the median location and the pixel openings are large enough to account for the asymmetry. Our recommendation for fitting the mounts to the XLS Snowflake is to first place the XLS on a flat surface before pushing pixels and then place the mounts on the prop with the EMT conduit per the renderings. With the mounts inserted into the EMT, you can then adjust the placement to achieve the best overall fit and mark the coro for making the zip tie holes. Once the holes are made, attach the mounts to the prop with zip ties, but don’t fully tighten them down until all the EMT sections are inserted so there is some wiggle room for making adjustments to the mounts.
As with all our designs, we strive to utilize the precut zip tie hole locations for our mounts. However, these pre-made holes don’t always align perfectly for optimal mount placement, which means you may need to create additional holes in the coro to secure the mounts with zip ties.

Our goal is to get your order shipped as quickly as possible. Most orders, including made to order items, ship within 3 to 5 business days, and many ship even sooner. If we anticipate processing times exceeding this, the most up-to-date estimated processing times will be displayed in a banner at the top of the website.
All of our 3D printed parts use PETG filament which provides good flexibility and resistance to UV exposure when used seasonally.
