The USW Pro XG 8 PoE has port lighting, so I wanted to have it on the desk but without cables in the foreground.  I refer to the model as the 'turtle' -- that's what it looks like.  Hopefully you've kept your mount plate and screws...

Features:

  • The Pro XG 8 mount plate attaches to the turtle base using the original screws.

  • The original XG 8 foot pads must be removed (due to the use of the mount plate) but can be attached to the bottoms of the turtle feet.

  • Additional hardware is needed to hold the cable comb halves together:  six M3x12 screws and six M3 hex nuts.  M3x10 screws will also work.

Files:

  • A 3mf project file and a bgcode file are provided, but they are for the MK4S with MMU3 so may only be useful to a limited group.  My setup is an MK4S with MMU3 but the MMU3 is not required.

  • Individual 3mf files containing models only are provided:  base (print 1x) and comb (print 2x).  All will fit together on the Prusa Mk2/3/4 or Core One mount plate.

  • Fusion 360 file.

Instructions / Assembly:

  • PETG is recommended, primarily due to the tight fit for the hex nuts, to avoid cracking the base (I didn't want these coming loose once the plate was installed).  You'll need to pull the hex nuts through with a longer M3 screw and washer from the other side (Prusa kit builders will know this technique).

  • I used default Prusament PETG settings, 0.2 mm height (structural), 15% infill

  • First, install the hex nuts into the base (from above) as these will be inaccessible once the mount plate is attached.

  • Second, attach the mount plate.  I oriented the plate so that the XG8 snaps into place by pushing front-to-back -- it could be reversed, but the XG 8 will sit slightly further back.

  • It's easiest to arrange cables and attach the combs with the unit flipped on its back.

Finally, note that the mount plate, which will usually rely on gravity, doesn't hold the XG8 body very tightly in this horizontal configuration (just a word of caution).

Enjoy that Pro XG 8!
