Vacuum Pump Capacitor Mounting BracketDuring the development of my other vacuum projects (especially the Double-Sided Vacuum Block with Side Connection or the Vacuum Block for 20 & 19 mm Bench Dog Holes) I realized I needed a stronger vacuum pump. So I ordered a standard 500 W oil-free vacuum pump which came with a handful of accessories to be mounted, including the capacitor. As the pump has no direct mounting options, I made a bracket to fix the capacitor safely in place while also having strain relief on the mains connection.FeaturesMounting bracket for the capacitor (M8 thread, capacitor diameter 40 mm)Several positions for cable ties to manage the cables and to create a strain reliefPrinted in PETG to support higher temperatures (pump gets warmer during operation, and the slight flex of PETG might work better in the vibrating environment)Leverages existing pump feet mounting positions (M6)2 additional spacers included for the remaining 2 pump feet to secure a horizontal positionMa
