LED TV mount support for VESA 200mm

thingiverse

This is my very first design from scratch, and it's specifically designed to support a 32" LED TV with a VESA mount of 200mm. The weight of the TV itself is approximately 20 pounds. I've left the decision up to you as to whether or not to use this design; however, please be aware that I'm not responsible for any accidents involving fallen TVs. In order to accommodate my printer bed's dimensions of 200x200, I had to cut the design into four main pieces. To test its stability, I applied a moderate downward pulling force on the TV while it was mounted, and thankfully, I didn't hear any unusual sounds, which led me to believe that it's safe, or at least almost safe. Please refrain from applying excessive horizontal pulling forces, as I'm fairly certain this design won't be able to handle it. It's been designed with vertical strength in mind. After one week on the wall, on June 13th, I've had no issues with scary noises when pulling down moderately. Everything seems to be working properly. For attaching the support to the wall, I only used the two top screws; however, you can also use the two bottom ones for added sturdiness. I employed a total of 16 M3 screws and nuts, along with some glue to secure the parts together. The screws that I used in the wall came from another TV mount that I purchased at a store sometime ago. Don't forget to use attachment plugs in gypsum walls for extra strength. Additionally, I placed some soft auto-sticking pads behind the support to prevent the TV screws from scratching the wall during installation. It took approximately 120 grams of PLA to print all the parts. Please note that the part that attaches to the TV isn't perfectly flat; rather, the cross in the middle is 1.2mm above the lips. This wasn't an issue for me since the TV's screwing sockets were slightly higher than the flat surface. If you need this part to be completely flat, simply let me know and I'll modify the files accordingly. Also, if you require more detailed assembly instructions, feel free to ask.

This design is made entirely from PLA.
