Description

Custom bracket to mount the UCS Millennium Falcon 75192 to the wall in a vertical position. All other ways I've seen to mount the set in this position have used wood and the final versions were not perfectly secure. This 3D printed design allows the set to be gravity-mounted with hooks that prevent it from sliding off. The Model also has a 2.5-degree slant to it so it does not have a chance to fall off.

The model should be printed on its side so there are no weak points caused by layer line orientation. I did a prototype print with one wall and 10% infill out of PLA and it feels strong enough to mount, but I recommend at least three walls and 20% infill. The set only weighs about 16-lbs (7.3-kg) so PLA should be plenty strong enough. The bracket was designed to not be too stressed from the weight. I printed mine with 5 walls and 35% adaptive cubic infill, it took about 8 hours to print and used around 300g of filament.

I am using the large drywall anchors as they were the only ones I had. You could probably use smaller anchors and screws but I have not tested it.

Feel free to modify aspects of the model such as the bolt holes for your requirements. A step and Solidworks file have been uploaded for easy adjustment.

This is my first upload, so let me know if I should change anything about the post. Or just let me know that everything works. Thanks!

EDIT: The feet of the falcon do need to be removed to successfully mount.

Glad to see it worked for you!!!

Great job, I'll give you credit for moutnting it this way. I'd love to try it but I'm not brave enough. I was nervous just mounting it on the lego stand.

A little scary for sure, but the internal truss members of the Falcon are stronger than they seem. The process I went through to mount it was first to secure the print to the wall then remove all the top panels of the falcon. With all the panels off, holding the internal structure and carrying it confidently is much easier. Then literally just place it onto the print and it should fall into place, at most shift it around a bit. But ultimately the weight of the falcon should be enough to secure it, that's how I designed it to work. I would highly recommend this if you have the wall space. Would a video be helpful to show how I did it?

Replying to @Galladex :

Thanks for the offer, but my wall space is taken up. Not showing off, but I have 2 walls in our lego room and they're taken. I have mine on the lego stand, but I've downloaded yours just in case. The other two walls are off limits, they're my wifes Harry Potter. Great work though!
