3D Printed Cobalt USB Air Pump Bracket

[TheEngineer]

I bought one of the new rechargeable backup air pumps from Cobalt to give me a bit of piece of mind. It comes with this silly little metal clip on the back that's entirely useless. I have access to a 3D printer now, so I decided to give making my own 3D printed bracket a try

I should be able to print this out tomorrow just to see how it goes. Probably will need some tuning.

Needs a few minor tweaks but it came out great! The holes for the feet came out a little small from the angle I had to print it from. I’m going to drill them out and should be fine.

I don’t have it hooked up in this picture but there is space for the wiring and connector.

I wish I owned it. I'm a member of a maker space so I get free use of it and free materials

Are you going to sell these? Cool idea.

 

[TheEngineer]

I wasn't planning to, but if people want one we can work something out.

@TheEngineer Hey Adam, looks good - what thickness did you make the platform? Is the model available on Thingiverse?

 

[TheEngineer]

I think it is 1/4” but I can’t recall. Yes, it is on thingiverse
