3d Printed Star Wars Yoke Mounts -- Countersunk and Standalone

[PL1]

Here's a v1.0 OpenSCAD model for a panel mount countersunk SW yoke mount with a drill/cutout template.
- The base is 180mm wide x 200mm deep and the mount is 115mm tall.
- The mount is high enough that when the front housing of the yoke is turned 45 degrees, it will still clear the control panel.
- The gears only stick out about 1.5" below the mount.
- This version is a fixed 45 degree angle.  I could remix it into a variable angle version if there's any interest.
- Use 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" carriage bolts for mounting hardware.

When assembling the mount, connect the yoke to the mount then connect the mount to the panel.

Updated Countersunk Mount to v1.1 -- The .zip file contains the OpenSCAD files for 45 and 25 degree mounts/drill templates and .STL files.
https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=164992.0;attach=397964.
- Fixed several minor code errors.
- Added variable "BaseBoltInsetY" to move the carriage bolt holes closer to the center of the mount's Y-axis.
- Added variable "MountAngle" for the yoke mount.  Default is 45 degrees minus the angle of the control panel.
- Made a 25 degree version for Telengard since he has a steep 20 degree pitch on his control panel. (45-20=25)

Countersunk Mount v 1.1:

Code: [Select]

// SW Yoke Countersunk Mount for Star Wars or Alan-1 yoke v1.1.

// Use the template to drill holes one at a time.  Put a 1/4"-20 carriage bolt into each hole after you drill it to ensure proper alignment.  After all four holes are drilled, cut the hole for the yoke mechanism.

// Attach the yoke to the mount then use 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" carriage bolts to attach the mount to the control panel.

25 degree test print currently in progress.

[PL1]

25 degree test print worked great.
- Perfect fit.
- Gears/wiring only sticks out about 3.5" below the mount.

A question came up via PM about calculating the mount angle on a tilted control panel.
- Red plus yellow equals orange.
- Yellow is the variable "MountAngle" in the OpenSCAD code.
