Handy Holder - Vesa Mount

thingiverse

This is a remix of the handy teams original hands free mounting that was to be used with a 1/4 threaded end of a Manfrotto Heavy duty flex arm. I have made it so that a simple m8 or smaller bolt nut and washer could be used to add this to a single vesa mounting point on a monitor arm. The monitor arm is recommended to be installed centrally under a desk to be in front of a user, but far back enough to allow a typical desk swivel chair to be tucked back under the desk - Roughly 40 - 45 cm away from edge of desk closest to the user. Care should be taken as when the monitor arm is retracted away, under the desk, for discreet and neat storage, a user could accidentally, hit their knee on the monitor arm or its vesa points, when wheeling themselves in to be closer to the desk. Care should also be taken if using a gas and spring loaded monitor arm as it could suddenly spring up and cause injury or damage to the under panel of the desk as to dent or puncture. This can be avoided by adding at least a 2 kg wrist/ankle weight around the monitor arm end (closest to the vesa points) and also adjusting the monitor arm as necessary to allow for maximum/minimum movement as desired. This keeps the arm in place just as an actual monitor, appropriately weighted, would. The other additions are rounded ribs that extend to the base point to provide greater long term strength to those areas of potential plastic fracture points. They can also provide a nub for grip. The ribbed idea is remixed/inspired from Bafangit's v2 remix of the Handy team's hands free mount with ribs - I just extended and rounded the ribs. Handy Logo and Sweet Tech labelling have also been used with permission from Alexander, the creator of the Handy. This is fine as long as it is not sold commercially. I do not have a 3D printer at present so have not printed and tested - Please do so yourself and let me know any feedback we can use to develop this further. Thanks - Enjoy!
