Yep, send me a link to a picture, just remember more nylon means higher cost.

Gus they are actually stronger since ABS used in everyone else's mounts (remember they are all made in China, using the cheapest manufacturing methods) is more brittle than nylon, these will give more before breaking, and it would require a lot of force to break them. Here is a YouTube video showing relative strengths, The parts Shapeways prints will be a lot stronger than the Formlabs resin one he tests first and the other nylon part he self printed.

The attached PDF is if you really want to see the numbers.

Thank you, I started this all for myself, I wanted parts I couldn't find so I made them myself. People asked so here they are available.
