Hacking the Siglent 2k+ Cooling System and Mount

<< < (6/9) > >>

Martin72:
I´ve finished the backplate adaptor for the 2K+ HD, adding mounting holes for VESA 100x100 and 75x75.

With this adaptor plate, you can mount your HD scope on normal VESA monitor holders.
My first thought to make it more "3d" I´ve sacrifice it for easier assembling.
Instead you can use plastic distance rings between plate and scope.
Lenght of the needed screws is original length plus thickness of the plate plus thickness of the distance ring.
That´s all... 8)
I´ll test my patience to wait until next week when I´m at work again and make the plate there - Or order it online somewhere...

Job well done, Martin!

The plate looks OK, and it will not be difficult to estimate the length of the screws. Still, there is the threading problem for the screws themselves.

I must confess I have problems to understand the threading thing...

The threading is the part of the screw that has that spiraling pattern carved in. It's what makes it a screw, after all.
The threading can be different on an aftermarket screw with respect to the original one. If that's the case, the female rivets on the scope will be stripped. It would be very unpleasant.

On the other hand, most (but not all) "M" screws have kind of a standard threading. It's tricky, since it's very difficult to know if you are stripping the female housing until you actually strip it.

Ahem, threads are VERY standardized.. M3 metric thread is same in the whole world. Same with imperial ones.. machine threads should go in with very little force until end..
