Massive Monitor Mount + Tilt Function + Samsung Adapter

thingiverse

The alignment should remain unchanged, as it's designed to be easily printable and will not require any adjustments when mounted. The same alignment applies to all parts of the mount. To ensure a secure fit, I used 8 mm Aluminium rods with threads cut at both ends. The rod's fit should be as tight as possible for easy hand mounting. If the setup is loose, it may tilt excessively and potentially move due to the monitor's cables. I initially wondered how strong a 3D printed assembly could be. After researching available monitor mounts, I found them to be either unattractive or insufficiently robust. To address this issue, I began designing my own mount using Fusion 360. The double-arm design appealed to me, but purchasing it would have been expensive. I also wanted the mount to be as long as possible while still being printable by most printers. This led me to create a design that balances strength and affordability. The total cost of materials is approximately 400g PETG, 1m Aluminium Rod, and a few M8 self-locking nuts. I recommend avoiding threaded rods due to the high forces exerted on the parts, which could cause the thread to work into the material and weaken it. I'm considering designing a tilt mechanism for the monitor in future updates. To provide users with more flexibility, I've added a few parts that enable a tilt function. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can simply omit these additional parts without needing to reprint anything else. In response to user requests, I've created an adapter for Samsung monitors that allows for tilting up to 20°. This means most users won't require the extra tilt function. As a result of further refinement, I've updated the Samsung adapter to improve its fit and functionality.
