A couple mounting plates to attach an Atom smoke alarm to aluminum extrusion or a NEMA17 motor. These [tiny smoke detectors*](http://amzn.to/1jW6z4f) are small (40mm diameter) and light enough (43g) to mount on a printer or extruder.
I had some concerns that the plastic fumes would trigger the alarm, but that hasn't been a problem so far. I haven't tried burning plastic to see how sensitive it is.
*Update: The alarm did trigger once when printing transparent ABS. I doesn't seem to trigger consistently, but I'll probably move the alarm further from the extruder if it happens again.*
**Parts List:**
1 - [FIrst Alert Atom Smoke Detector*](http://amzn.to/1jW6z4f)
2 - [M5x8 Socket Cap Screw](http://www.trimcraftaviationrc.com/index.php?_a=product&product_id=442)
**Filaments:** (full list can be found on [thrinter.com](http://thrinter.com/filaments))
