Star 46-460 Mount

$46.95$59.95

3D Printed mounting system for the Gilbert Engineering Star 46-460. These mounts have been completely redesigned to eliminate the need to use the stock coro clamps to attach the vertical pipe to the star. The mounts are available as either a standard mount or a mega mount which adds additional support structure to the lower points of the star. There are also three different configurations based on how you plan to mount the star to the topper. The 1/2″ threaded pipe with 1/2″ EMT is the legacy mounting style where the vertical support is threaded pipe which then threads into a floor flange that is installed on the topper. The 3/4″ EMT version allows one to use Maker Pipe fittings to attach the EMT conduit to the topper and the Sasquatch version connects to the Mattos Designs Sasquatch Mega Tree Star Mount 2.0 and is a hybrid between that star mount and 3/4″ EMT conduit.

Includes 3D printed parts only. Colors may vary, typically they are white or black. If you have a specific color request for white or black please include a note indicating your preference with your order, but keep in mind that it may increase processing time for in-stock items. More detailed information on the variations below.

The top, mid and bottom mounts are the primary connection to your mega tree topper and the support conduit attaches slightly different compared to our other mounts in order to increase strength. At each mount a 2.5″ long 1/4 x 20 machine screw is inserted on the top of the mount and attaches to a 1/4 x 20 nut that you insert into the underside of the mount. This creates an incredibly strong post that will support the primary loads of the topper. The horizontal supports are made with either 1/2″ or 3/4″ EMT conduit (depending on the version purchased) and at the center junction point a 3/4″ PVC cross is used to connect the threaded pipe or EMT conduit using the included bushings. On all versions you want the vertical support conduit to run continuously between the top and bottom mounts with the horizontal span made from two shorter pieces. Furthermore on all mega mount versions the connection to the lower left and right points from the bottom center mount is made using 1/2″ EMT conduit regardless of the conduit version for the rest of the mount.

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.

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.
