These are the STL files to create a 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. 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.
