// ============================================================
// vesc_mount.scad FSESC 6.7 Pro Mini Dual ESC Mount Cradle
// Issue #699 / sl-mechanical 2026-03-17
// ============================================================
// Open-top tray for Flipsky FSESC 6.7 Pro Mini Dual (~100 × 68 × 28 mm).
// Attaches to 2020 aluminium T-slot rail via 4× M5 T-nuts
// (2× per rail, two parallel rails, 60 mm bolt spacing in X,
// 20 mm bolt spacing in Y matching 2020 slot pitch).
//
// Connector access:
// XT60 battery inputs X end wall cutouts (2 connectors, side-by-side)
// XT30 motor outputs Y+ and Y side wall cutouts (2 per side wall)
// CAN/UART terminal X+ end wall cutout (screw terminal, wire exit)
//
// Ventilation:
// Open top face heatsink fins fully exposed
// Floor grille slots under-board airflow
// Side vent louvres 4 slots on each Y± wall at heatsink height
//
// Retention: 4× M3 heat-set insert boss in floor board screws down through
// ESC mounting holes via M3×8 FHCS. Board sits on 4 mm raised posts for
// under-board airflow.
//
// VERIFY WITH CALIPERS BEFORE PRINTING:
// PCB_L, PCB_W board outline
// XT60_W, XT60_H XT60 shell at X edge
// XT30_W, XT30_H XT30 shells at Y± edges
// TERM_W, TERM_H CAN screw terminal at X+ edge
// MOUNT_X1/X2, MOUNT_Y1/Y2 ESC board mounting hole pattern
//
// Print settings (PETG):
// 3 perimeters, 40 % gyroid infill, no supports, 0.2 mm layer
// Print orientation: open face UP (as modelled)
//
// BOM:
// 4 × M5×10 BHCS + 4 × M5 slide-in T-nut (2020 rail)
// 4 × M3 heat-set insert (Voron-style, OD 4.5 mm × 4 mm deep)
// 4 × M3×8 FHCS (board retention)
//
// Export commands:
// openscad -D 'RENDER="mount"' -o vesc_mount.stl vesc_mount.scad
// openscad -D 'RENDER="assembly"' -o vesc_assembly.png vesc_mount.scad
