  !\[Exploded view of PitClamp Mini Base assembly]\(./\_images/Exploded - PitClamp Mini Base.webp)
</Frame>

**Developed by: armpit**

A 3D-printed modular quick-release mount ecosystem for NEMA23 motors, featuring:

* 4-degree precision quick-adjustable rotation
* Motor can be quickly removed for storage or use in another base
* Stress tested to 50 ft-lb without grip compromise (PLA, 6 walls, 10% infill)

### Supported Motors

| 57AIM (30/15/10)                                                                                                                 | 42AIM (30/15/10)                                                                                                                 | iHSV57 (180w)                                                                                                                  |

<Note>
  The iHSV57 ring prints as one piece but snaps into two halves after removal from the printer. Clasp each half around the motor to assemble.
</Note>

<Warning>
  iHSV57 motors smaller than 180w require modifications to the ring design.
</Warning>

| Recommended filament | PLA+                              |

<Warning>
  Print all parts in the default file orientation. Printing base components in other orientations causes structural weakness.
</Warning>

### Required Printed Parts

```text theme={null}
(Qty 1) Mounting Ring - PitClamp Mini - 57AIM V1.1
(Qty 1) Base - PitClamp Mini - Dogbone Bolts
