Wireshelf pole bracket with captured nut and zip ties

Overview

I needed to mount a 10" rackmount system onto some wire shelving.  This bracket helps with that.

• Assembly is pretty straight forward.  Put the nut in the hole, and then thread the screw in to whatever you need.  The zip ties should slide through easily.  

• It's currently sized for a #8 screw and machine nut, but model is parametric and should allow you to change most of these things pretty easily. 

• The "additional_back_plane_offset" makes that portion a little thicker.  I needed to do that because I only had 1/2" screws and I didn't want the screw poking through to push it away from the pole.

• It's designed to be printed on "the back" so that the layer lines are perpendicular to the stress from the zip ties.

This works great as long as you have some other way to prevent the thing this is attached to from sliding.  But, there is a reason the poles have that little groove, so depending on where a groove might be convenient for you, I've created three new models and uploaded new step and fusion files.

• top ridge - just above the top zip tie 

• middle ridge - between the zip ties, over the bolt location

• bottom ridge - just below the bottom zip tie

  • "Um... it's symmetric, so if you just flip it the other way this is the same as top ridge, right?"  Yes.  But I thought of that after I had uploaded and I'm now punishing myself for being dumb by immortalizing this on printables, so it's staying.
