I have updated the model to no longer have the nubs in the center of the first picture.  I didn't feel like they gave you enough benefit, but did make it difficult to disassemble.

After building an extrusion based rack to hold my 3d printers, I decided mounting them to the extrusions would be better than a bench top for them to sit on.

I had heard about Hula before, but hadn't used them.  After talking with some people I decided that was the way I wanted to go, but I was unable to find any adapters to fit the Hula onto my extrusions.

This item does just that.  I printed this out of PETG using the Hula recommended settings for my first batch, but you can increase walls/infill if desired.

Assemble your Hula as you would normally, but leave out the M3 x 8 screws that hold it together.
install the Hula base into this adapter, and bolt together from underneath with M3 x 16 screws.  This holds everything together like the stock setup, just with an extra part on the bottom.

Insert t-nuts of your choice into your extrusion, and using a M5 x 10 screw, bolt the adapter down to the extrusion.  You will likely have to do some alignment and adjustment to get them aligned perfectly with your printer of choice.
