Lego Star Wars Helmet Wall Mount

Credit goes to Desmothing in his original design linked here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5364327

I added holes in the Wall-Piece so it can now be mounted with nails or screws instead of command strips.

I found the command strip not working well and my lego Boba Fett ended up falling and shattering all over my room (sad days). The base was all that remained intact. The drawing I did on my phone is a temporary replacement. But on the bright side, this design is a lot more stable and reliable now.

Also turns out that this can also fit the lego infinity gauntlet as well as the lego nano gauntlet. Pretty much any lego set with a 3.15" x 3.15" base. Desmothing also has a special base for the lego Tie-Fighter in the thing I linked.

Installation

1- Start with the Wall-Piece and make sure the shorter side is on the wall. Hammer in two nails/screw in two screws, starting from the top hole, at about a 45-degree angle or more. Hammering it in straight in will just pull the nails right out of the wall. I haven't tried it with screws yet but I'm sure it would just be better to do it at an angle anyways.

2- Take the Arm and start by placing it slightly above the wall piece and pull it down until it is secure. If you hammered the Wall-Piece in too much, the Arm will not slide in properly, to fix this you can simply pry the top of the Wall-Piece out little by little until the Arm is secure. With screws, you can unscrew the top screw little by little until the Arm is secure. Check that it is secure by applying various amounts of pressure (don't break your drywall testing it lol).

3- Place the Base in the hole of the Arm, with the name tag slot facing outward.

4- Now it's ready for your lego sets. If it seems unbalanced, it can be rotated on two different axes to maximize stability.

Notes:

For the base

* You can print it with the stem on the heat bed or with the edge on top of the heat bed. * I just used smart fill * I printed it with the stem on the heat bed and supports so it would be a lot smoother where the lego set sat. * Feel free to print with the top edges on the heat bed, it will take less filament * Printed at 150% speed For the arm

- Make sure the arm is sticking up by rotating x -90 degrees

- I used supports on the bottom where it connects to the wall piece

- I just used smart fill for that

- Printed at 150% speed

For the wall piece

- Print with the long side on the heat bed

- Supports on the inside of the hole

- I used 25% infill for safe measures since that's what's keeping it connected to the wall

- Printed at 200% speed

- Removing the supports took a little bit of time for me but it is worth the extra stability
