This is a revised version of Thing:4229336, which user Simpl3 did from Thing:4161847 by user MakeThisModThat. If you're interested in using this, you should check MakeThisModThat out on Thingiverse or especially YouTube, where he made a video showing the installation of this bracket. I threw it in TinkerCAD and came up with these modifications: - Lowered the position of the post hole on the X bracket. It sat too low and stuck out beneath the monitor panel, which was aesthetically unpleasing. There is still enough clearance around the ports to insert cables. - Made the hex hole in the center of the rectangular bracket smaller. It was too large, so trying to use an M5 nut resulted in the hole not catching the edges and stripping. I used the same hex hole that is found on the X bracket, which was slightly smaller and more snug. NOTES: - This requires 5 M5 bolts, 5 M5 nuts, and 4 M4 bolts. The center and corner holes have recesses wide enough for socket head (not button head!) M5 bolts. The rectangular and X brackets' central holes still have enough material for the M5 bolt to bite into the plastic in addition to the nut hole at the end. - You are required to heat up the hex holes to soften them to fit an M5 nut inside, they are just barely too small to hold an M5 nut while cool. - Drilling may be required to widen or modify holes as you see fit. You may also have to sand or file down the male end of the post to fit inside the X-bracket's socket. - I would recommend doing the max infill possible on this since it's supporting weight at funny angles, and you definitely don't want anything breaking. As it is, it feels super sturdy! - I would not recommend rafts since these things are large, flat pieces that are hard to separate from a raft.
