Warlock Mount STL

$15.00

This STL file set contains everything needed to 3D print the mounting system designed specifically for the Gilbert Engineering Warlock 46″ prop. With nearly 1,700 pixels and a fully loaded weight approaching 37 pounds when using bullet pixels, this prop requires a highly reinforced mounting approach. The brackets are designed to be zip-tied and bolted directly to the coro and sized for 3/4″ EMT conduit, which slides through the mounts to form the frame. Each mounting post includes a recess for an embedded nut at the base. A 3.5″ bolt is inserted from behind, threading into the nut to clamp the conduit in place, then continuing through the front of the prop where it is secured with a washer and second nut. This method creates a highly secure mounting point designed to handle the significant weight of the prop. At the center junction, a 3/4″ PVC cross is used to connect the perpendicular conduit sections, using the included bushings file to adapt for EMT’s slightly smaller diameter. Once assembled, the frame locks together to form a strong, rigid structure—ideal for mounting to permanent structures or for handling heavy, high-density designs. More information listed below.

Because of the high weight and pixel density of the Warlock prop, the mounts are designed to be both zip-tied and bolted directly to the coro for maximum strength. Each of the 8 post mounts requires:

(1x) 3.5″ long 1/4″-20 bolt
(2x) 1/4″-20 nuts
(1x) 1/4″ washer
Zip ties

Step-by-step instructions:

Install embedded nuts: Begin by inserting a 1/4″-20 nut into the bottom of each post mount. You can do this in one of two ways:
– Gently tap the nut into place with a mallet or other non-marring tool.
– Or temporarily thread the nut onto a bolt inserted from the top of the mount and tighten it to pull the nut down into its pocket.
Mark mounting holes: Use each mount to mark the coro for the bolt hole and zip tie slots. While the prop may appear symmetrical, hole locations vary slightly at the outer mounts. These mounts are based on the average hole spacing, so they won’t align perfectly—just center each mount visually among the nearby holes. There is sufficient clearance.
Attach mounts to coro: Drill the marked holes and zip tie each mount to the prop.
Prepare conduit: Insert 3/4″ EMT conduit into the mounts and mark the bolt pass-through locations. If the prop was split for shipping, it’s best practice to run the continuous EMT section perpendicular to the split.
Drill conduit: Drill 1/4″ holes all the way through the EMT at each marked location.
Assemble center junction: Glue the EMT-to-PVC bushings into the 3/4″ PVC cross using epoxy or super glue. Insert the EMT into the mounts with the center cross in place.
Secure the frame: Insert each 3.5″ bolt from the top of the mount, tighten it into the embedded nut, and continue the bolt through the coro. Tighten until snug, but avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking the printed mount.
Lock from the front: From the front of the prop, secure the exposed bolt with a 1/4″ washer and second 1/4″-20 nut.

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.
