X-acto KS Pencil Sharpener Clamp Mount

Description: This clamp mount is designed specifically for the X-ACTO KS Pencil Sharpener, providing a versatile and non-invasive solution for mounting your pencil sharpener on a table or desk without the need for drilling holes. Perfect for those who want to preserve the integrity of their furniture.

Design Details:

• Compatibility: Suitable for the X-ACTO KS Pencil Sharpener.
• Mounting Range: Clamps securely onto surfaces with a thickness ranging from 19 mm to 35 mm.
• Precision Fit: The back fillets are precisely contoured to match the device's mounting plate, ensuring a secure and attractive fit.
• Tapered Screw Holes: The mounting screw holes feature a slight taper, making it easier to insert the 17 mm long screws that came with the sharpener into the PLA material.
• Assembly: Printed in multiple pieces for easy assembly.
• Printing Specifications: Printed with 4 wall layers and 10% adaptive cubic infill for optimal strength and durability.
• Additional Hardware: The only extra hardware required is rubber padding for the inside jaw surfaces to prevent slipping and protect the mounting surface.
• FreeCAD Project File: Included for remix or learning.

Background: I initially faced the challenge of not wanting to drill holes in my home or furniture to mount the pencil sharpener. As a result, the sharpener remained unused for a long time. This inspired me to design a clamp mount using FreeCAD. Now, the sharpener can be conveniently mounted and used without causing any damage to furniture.

Instructions: Each piece is print-in-place without supports but then need to be assembled. After adding the STEP or STL file to your slicer (Prusa, Bambu, Qidi, Orca) right-click the object and select Split > To Objects. Then Auto Orient, followed by Arrange All Objects. Once the pieces are assembled, add adhesive rubber padding to both inside surfaces of the clamp. Mount the sharpener, clamp to table, and make some sharpened pencils!
