# Mounting plate for the M3 2.2 Newton board
This is a super basic / minimal mounting plate for the M3 2.2 Newton ESLs.
![Render of the mount](tag-in-mount.png)
The geometry is similar on the rest of the M3 family so using this with the other sizes should be as simple as scaling in your slicer but I don't have any of the other sizes to verify this.
The[`flat-surface-mount.step`](./flat-surface-mount.step) file is provided for easy adjustment in your CAD package of choice or - if your slicer [supports it](https://blog.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer-2-5-is-here-new-perimeter-generator-step-file-support-lightning-infill-and-more_70562/) - direct printing.
I have also included the [f360 archive](./flat-surface-mount.f3z) so you can modify as needed.
It references / uses the [`M3_2.2-inch_esl-module.f3d`](OpenEPaperLink/Hardware/M3 2.2 Newton Jig by kquinsland/M3_2.2-inch_esl-module.f3d) file as well.

## Printing
The suggested print orientation is shown below:
![Print orientation](./print-orientation.png)
No support material is needed.
Print in any material you like but I used PLA because it's what I had on hand.
There are a few small features so relatively thin layer height and a small nozzle are recommended.
I have gotten acceptable results with a `0.4` mm and `0.6` mm nozzle and `0.2`mm layer height but your mileage may vary.
## Assembly
The mount features a shallow recess on the back that is just wide enough for a small 3M Command Strip to fit.
You can also use double-sided tape or glue if you prefer.

There's only one way that the tag fits into the mount:
![tag in mount](./eject-slot-demo.jpg)
The mount was designed to be a tight snap fit so the tag could safely be mounted to appliances that vibrate or moved around a lot.
If you need to remove the tag for any reason, you should use a small flat head screwdriver or similar to gently pry the tag out of the mount.
Counter intuitively, the best place to pry from is **not** the place that looks like it'll be the best place to pry from.
You'll have an easier time prying from the side pictured above.
