Awhile back I bought some Quanta Pros from @CaseyP. Initially I was using them as lighting for my garage holding tank while I slowly moved things back into my main display. Now I'm finally putting them on their actual target home, which is my frag tank. On that tank I have a RMS Rail, and while I did find some mounts online they are shockingly expensive, almost as expensive as the lights were bought used, so I decided to design my own.
I will upload it to makerworld soon, but posting here in the meantime because I think they turned out well and other people might find it useful in the future.
These are meant to be used with the movable mount that came with the lights, and when printed out look like this:
They're not the absolute strongest thing in the world, but seem strong enough to handle the lights. I printed it in gray/silver PLA, though I may switch to black. PET-G might be better, but I have a lot of PLA at my house right now, so I'll see how this goes.
Also if anyone needs a CAD file with an approximate buildout of the dimensions of a HMS rail, LMK. I didn't model it perfectly, but did enough to ensure I could build the hook part.
