SKATEFORCE. Wall mount to hang electric longboards for Press Reset's challenge.

Goals:
1: You must post your design to Thingiverse by midnight EST June 6th.
2: You can enter as many times as you like, but try to be reasonable LOL
3: Your bracket MUST be a SINGLE print design, not multi part.
4: The design must NOT use any supports.
5: You can support the deck, wheels or the trucks, it can be horizontal or vertical.
6: Your design can NOT be a remix of another design, it MUST be original.
7: You can use whatever design software you want, but you must provide a downloadable STL as the final output.
8: You must tag your file on Thingiverse with #SKATEFORCE in the title and in the description.
9: You must place the YouTube link to this video in the description.

Post-Printing

Wall mount

The three screw holes are not so much for strength (two is sufficient) but more for alignment with studs or to improve placement option. The covers can be printed as the singles, Press Reset Dual/Single Extrusion Panel, Blank/Custom panel. While gauged for the wider longboard trucks it fit my regular skateboard (with 80mm wheels and 1/2 inch riser) just fine.

Unfortunately the footage I took of my self standing on the bracket was poorly shot and was a great view of the packing crate. I did get a nice shot of my efforts to hop on the bracket repeatedly until it broke. I am 200lbs for reference. I would not recommend this for items over 50 lbs for safety. As not all printers and filament are created equal or parts made under similar conditions I cannot guarantee similar results, so please be careful.

Strength can be improved by heat treating or printing at a lower layer height but even with PLA this should be more than sufficient for an electric skateboard.

Stress Test

How I Designed This

Measurements

Hardest part for me was figuring out how, well, anything dimension wise should be.

I started with my limiting factors:
-Printer, at this time I only have access to my office's Prusa i3 MK2. That's my max size.
-Boards. I don't own any long boards or electric boards but I could find out what is on the market. This set my range.

Looking at the boards they seemed to vary wildly, except in the front axel/truck. I focused on that as my basis to build from. Most vendors listed the truck and wheel size. With this information jotted down in my project notebook I moved onto designing.
