Star 46-270 Mount STL

This STL file set contains everything needed to 3D print the mounting system designed specifically for the Gilbert Engineering Star 46-270 prop. This design is available in two versions. The first is designed for 1/2″ threaded pipe and 1/2″ EMT conduit, with the vertical section utilizing 1/2″ threaded pipe for mounting to a mega tree topper using a floor flange. The second is designed for 3/4″ EMT conduit throughout the frame. Please select the version you would like when purchasing. In both versions, the conduit slides through the mounts to form the frame, and a 3/4″ PVC cross is used at the center junction to connect the perpendicular conduit sections, using the included bushings file to adapt for the selected conduit size.

Unlike our standard mounting systems, each mount is secured using a 1/4″-20 screw or bolt rather than a set screw. The conduit is drilled to allow the screw or bolt to pass completely through the mount and conduit, where it threads into an embedded 1/4″-20 nut in the bottom of the mount. The screw or bolt then continues through the coro and is secured from the front of the prop using a washer and a second 1/4″-20 nut. This creates an extremely strong connection between the mount, conduit, and prop, making it well suited for supporting the star on a mega tree topper.
