First prototype mount for the threaded heatsink. Print with 0.2mm layer height.

Thanks for the quick design, you have a new buyer for the Orion Module

@moriquendi Idris If you remember I asked about this some time ago but I was more interested in a bare pub that would take the threaded heatsink however this solution may well work for me. Do you have a render showing how it all fits together?

I don't think (at the moment) that there's sufficient market for a PCB specifically for the threaded heatsink though hopefully that will change, the groove mount is... suboptimal.

This however involves much less investment.

Green is the new part specific to the threaded heatsink.
Blue is a standard Orion top piece, either screwmount (shown) or threaded or a custom part.
Purple is the Orion PCB.

@moriquendi ah so the thread it integral to the mount then?

[Moriquendi]

Yes, it's actually very secure even when tightened by hand.

[Dougal1957]

@moriquendi how about in a heated chamber tho?

May well print one and check it out tho and order a orion to see how it works out.

[Moriquendi]

I think that you would be able to print a mount in nylon or some other material that would hold up in a heated chamber up to the temperature where the piezos would become unreliable anyway (somewhere around 80c I would expect)

@zzing Thanks for uploading this

@Moriquendi

Hello,

Would you be able to upload a STEP file please.

[Moriquendi]

@rikesh942018 I've just uploaded the step file to thingiverse, follow the link above.

Idris

[Dougal1957]

I sent the file to Shapeways and expecting the print later today in SLS printed Nylon should be ok I hope.

[rikesh942018]

@moriquendi

Perfect, Thanks

[Dougal1957]

The Shapeways part is spot on not the cheapest way but it is at least in Nylon at very low layer lights and 100% infill so should be quite strong and stable. cost was about £12 and took 5-6 days from upload to delivery

will order the Orion module a bit later Idris in no real rush for it!

Just a heads up: I wont be dispatching anything between 21/12/18 and 3/1/19
