new mount for maze2/3

DigitalChaos · 04-16-2002, 11:53 PM

it is a pain with the current 4 bolt design on the maze2/3 when you need to take the block off for something quick. i love how secure it is, but i want to somehow use the 4 bolt locations on the block to make a much faster mounting procedure.

i have been thinking of designs that use a 2 piece mount... the bottom piece mounts to the 4 holes on the mobo...

then the top piece mounts to the 4 holes in the block somehow, or maybe just holds the top of the side.

those are just my ideas.. but let me know what you guys can come up with for a fast mount for these blocks.
having an unobstructed view of the block would be a plus (thinkin maze3 here)

Well... you could have a bar running between the 2 screws on the long axis of the block.

Then you connect those two with a bar, elivated on some sort of plastic spacer.

Connect the two bars with another quick release bar, which applies the preasure to the center of the block.

I'd draw what I'm talking about... but I don't feel like reaching under my desk to plug m scanner back in

with my maze 2's I found it possible to use a maze1c for holding it down.

This'd be too hard with a maze3, but something similar could be done

something i came up with, you could obviously move this 90degress and make it mount on the sides of the block instead of the ends

yeah that'd work fine, but you'd want the springs to be on there blody tight

yea, the metal rod thing would actually be going through the spring and into the hole... springs would be the originals from dangerden, and idealy compressed as far as they go.
