Minimalist Monitor Shelf Stand / Risers

prusaprinters

I needed a short but sturdy riser that I could use to turn a cabinet door into a monitor shelf.  I saw a few designs I liked, and this takes inspiration from many of them.  Unlike other shelves I found, I wanted this to be fairly low profile, with just enough room to tuck my keyboard and mouse away when not in use, and to hide away some of the regularly used cords for chargers, my microphone, etc. I wanted the design to be flexible enough so that if I needed to move more cords around, the sides would not get in the way. I also didn't want to see the risers when sitting or standing at my desk normallyWhat I came up with was this 7 x 2 x 1.5 inch riser with a thru hole for mounting screws that extends through to the bottom so that you can use a standard #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver.  My shelf surface is only ¾" thick, so I used a pair of #6 dome-top wood screws for each riser. On the bottom of the risers, I used an inch wide strip of adhesive-backed cork as a non-slip foot.I printed mine in some R3D PETG I happened to have around, but I think any material would work for this.  I printed with 6 perimeters, 8 top, 8 bottom and no infill.
