SmokeAlarmMount_4-tab

chasedeluca's was for a 3-tab style mount evenly spaced at 120 degrees. The smoke detector I have has 4 tabs spaced at 90 degrees.


I loaded the model in 3DBuilder on Windows 11, then duplicated it 3 times, moved them, perfecly aligned, on top of the original, and rotated each duplicate until I got tabs at 90 degrees spacing. Obviously, there are a bunch of other tabs but, there are some approximately where I want them. I then used the "Merge" function of 3DBuilder to bond the copies together into one object. Worked like a charm.


Sloppy, I know but, hey, it worked.

I also had to increase the diameter a little. I almost missed; it fits a little too tight on the detector, but it will work.

One thing I messed up was NOT leaving a space for the cable that comes out of the ceiling connecting it to all the other smoke detectors upstairs and downstairs. So I'm re-printing it, increasing the diameter a bit and cutting out a place for the cable.

Thanks chasedel
