A rotating mount with herringbone gears as bearings. Allows you to attach anything with two screws. For example, a custom drawer or container. There's plenty of possibilities!
Easy print in one piece, no assembly required. The raised area in the center gear at the top is the side that faces the surface you are mounting the whole apparatus to, giving tolerance for the rest of the body to rotate without touching the surface.
Dimensions: 2 screw mounting surface is 80mm wide and 27mm tall.
4mm screw holes are suitable for #6 and #7 wood screw sizes. (Any screw used needs to be ~1.5 inch long to mount the gear itself to a surface). For screws with greater than 4mm thickness, you will have to screw through the print. 7mm thick screws should be fine without causing structural integrity issues to the center gear. For the 2 screw holes on the side, any screw size from #3 and higher should be fine (or other bonding agents like glue).
Recommended minimum wall thickness: 1.2 to
