![]() Then maybe we really will have whatever a person wants available via download. ![]() Hopefully in time we will see CNC plywood cutters, CNC water jets or even CNC plasma cutters or 3d metal printers become more commonplace and affordable. I see a lot more potential for building up a wealth of community driven open source designs in the form of scad, stl and other 3d models than in paper wood cutting templates. And then there is the potential for parametric designs. You can always share your design with the internet. And even if you never want to build the same thing twice someone else might. 3d printed designs, once you do the work to perfect it once are pretty much a button press away from duplication. I appreciate a printable design though and usually turn to my printer first. Honestly, I have a pretty decently stocked shop for working with wood and enough knowledge and skills to use them. “When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail”.Ĭomplains the guy with a screwdriver who sees everything as a screw? I wouldn’t want the weight of the monitor constantly pulling the layers apart. That depends on the weight of the monitor of course.īut also it depends on what kind of plastic is used and which way the layer lines are run. “I wouldn’t trust that plastic to support the weight long-term.” Posted in computer hacks, Peripherals Hacks Tagged 3d printed, adapter, monitor arm, monitor mount, vesa Post navigation That is not to say that there’s no other way to make exactly what one wants when it comes to mounting monitors: check out this triple-monitor setup using some common metal struts, no welding required. It’s a smart design that leverages one of the strengths of 3D printing: that of creating specialized adapters or fixtures that would be troublesome to make by hand. As long as the screen size is between 17 and 27 inches diagonal, and the monitor thickness falls between 30 mm and 75 mm, it should fit. Some hex-head M5 bolts and nuts are all that are required to assemble the parts, and the top arm is adjustable to accommodate different sizes of monitor. The three arms extend around the edge of the monitor to grip it from the bottom and top. How does it work? When a monitor can’t attach directly to a VESA mount, this assembly attaches to the mount instead. ![]() To handle this, designed and 3D printed these adapter arms to make flat monitors mount to VESA hardware whether they want to or not. Some monitors lack the holes on the back that make them VESA-compliant, so mounting them on a monitor arm can be a non-starter. ![]()
