The design goal of this mount was to hold both parts of a hotas setup in place without sacrificing any folding and storage capabilities of the playseat

Depending of the thickness of the rubber there are two versions to print. One for 1mm and one for 2mm thick rubber.
You need :
Prints:
hotas_clamp_A_left 1x
hotas_clamp_A_right 1x
hotas_clamp_B 2x
hotas_clamp_connector 2x
hotas_plate_mount 2x
Turnhandle 4x
gripplate (optional)
Parts:
M5x40 with cylindrical head 8x
M5 nuts 8x
M6x40 hex bolt 4x
M6 nuts 4x
rubber(1/2mm thick)
wood or metal plate (20x20cm) 2x
8x screws with 4mm diameter to attach the plate to the plate_mount
Build:
Print all the parts you need and remove any overhang or edge from the first layer. cut out four pieces of the rubber wit roughly 3x4cm for the clamp. and screw the hotas_clamp_A and. B with the M5 screws and nuts to the seat.
Cut four more pieces out if the rubber for the connection between all the rotary joints with roughly 3,5cm in diameter and a 7mm hole in the middle. Use this rubber in between and screw the hotas_connector with the M6 screw and the turn handle on the clamp.
Screw the hotas_plate_mount to the wooden or metal plate with 1cm space between the edge and the first hole of the holder. Then attach the plate with one M6 screw, rubber and a nut to the connector and you are done.
Optional:
If one of the rotary joints is not stiff enough with the rubber alone you can print two grip plates and glue them on booth sides of the joints and it should improve the grip on the rubber tremendously.
Tip:
Remove all of the weights in the base of the hotas to keep the weight of the seat overall low. That makes it easier for transport.
