Phat Boy Mini Tree Mount

$43.95$64.95

3D Printed mounting system for the EFL Phat Boy Mini Tree. The mounts provide a frame structure increase strength and allow mounting to various surfaces and are designed to be zip tied to the coro. The mounts can be ordered in two styles, a basic mount or a mega mount. The basic mount consists of 4 mounts along the centerline of the tree that support a single piece of 3/4″ EMT conduit. The mega mount version adds on outrigger mounts that are primary designed to help stabilize the trees during ground installation as 1/2″ rebar can be driven into the ground and inserted inside of the EMT conduit. These outrigger mounts are sized for 1/2″ EMT conduit while the center mounts retain sizing for 3/4″ EMT conduit. Since the tree is quite large, these mounts are not intended to be the sole support system. You will either need to attach the mounts to a solid structure like a fence post or porch column or use guy wires that are attached directly to the EMT. For ground installations 1/2″ rebar should be inserted at least 2′ into the ground and extend above the ground up to the mid mounts on the outriggers. Colors may vary, although black is most common. If you have a specific color request for black or white please include a note indicating your preference with your order, but keep in mind that it may increase processing time for in-stock items. Includes 3D printed parts only. More information about mount installation below.

As with all our designs, we strive to utilize the precut zip tie hole locations for our mounts. However additional holes beyond the precut ones are needed to install the mounts. In order to improve the strength on the center mounts the conduit is secured at each mounting post by using a 3.75″ long 1/4 – 20 bolt that tightens against a nut that gets embedded to the bottom of the post. The bolt then continues through the front of the prop where it is secured again using a washer and another nut. This creates an incredibly strong post that will hold up to the weight of this prop. This technique with the bolt running through the mount is only used on the lower 3 center mounts with the conduit on the center star mount being secured conventionally with a screw like all the other mounts The star mount utilizes an embedded zip tie tunnel to secure the mount to the coro in which the zip tie must get fed from the front of the prop. 

 

Here is an example of utilizing a bolt or machine screw to secure the conduit to the mount and the prop. This maximizes strength in the part since the bolt helps transfer shear loads all the way through the mounts.

3D printing parts is a slow process and we have a whole print farm running 24/7 to fulfill orders and build stock of the more popular items. If you order a product that shows “made to order” we will move it directly to the print queue where it will be printed as soon as possible. While normal processing times for most orders with made to order items is less than a week, it can fluctuate. Very large orders can also experience longer than normal processing times as well because of the high number of hours it takes to produce lots of parts. If processing times are expected to be longer than two weeks before shipping, there will be a banner at the top of the website indicating the expected wait times. See the FAQ page for more info.

All of our 3D printed parts use PETG filament which provides good flexibility and resistance to UV exposure when used seasonally.
