My buddy showed me those when we were talking about a drywall ceiling I was about to put up in my living room. While many different tools like that exist already I wanted to make my own to practice CAD and add mounting for the “laser shield”
The model is mine and made from scratch, but I can't claim the idea is original, there's plenty of tools like that. I made one to practice and add the laser shield.
You can install the whole CD60 profile framing basically on your own, level everything nicely with the help of a laser and then screw the profiles to the hooks without much hassle (one that tried to do this with two hands know how tricky this work is).
For one mount you'll need:
Item | Qty | Description |
---|---|---|
M8 screw 30-40mm | 2 | See drawing bellow for details on the length |
M8 nuts | 4 | |
gk_mount_base | 1 | Printed |
gk_mount_nut | 2 | Printed |
You can use almost any M8 screw that sticks out about 18mm from the base of the nut into the base part. If using a cap head that can go into the nut a 30mm screw is great. If the screw has a head that won't fit inside then a 40mm is good.
If you'd like to use the “laser shield” you need a few additional parts listed below.
You might want to print 5 of those in total and have only 2 with the shield.
Item | Qty | Description |
---|---|---|
Heat inserts M3 x D4.6 x L4.0 | 2-4 | 2 pcs for each side, one side might be enough |
DIN 912 M3 x 8mm | 2-4 | Same deal as above, 2 might be enough |
gk_mount_plate | 1 | Printed, pause before the last layer stars to switch to a different color |
