Surface Book 2 and 3 15 - Vesa Mount

thingiverse

This is still kind of a work in progress and just threw this together to provide some ideas for a Vesa mounted Surface Book 3. I have no idea how long it will hold up - this is not designed for heavy use and it does the job for what I need (a place to take advantage of the additional monitor). I really just wanted to get this out there as a concept for others to build off of since there wasn't anything really out there yet - I am sure someone can come up with something much better. This Works with both the Surface Book 2 and Surface Book 3 15 inch laptop since they are the same design. ### Stuff you may need You can find these on Amazon 4 - M3 4mm x 4mm Knurls 4 - M3 16mm screws (or whatever length will work best with your mount) 4 - washers (optional) 4 - 1mm or 2mm silicone bumpers Vesa mount (original was built using a Wali pole mount purchased off Amazon) ### Assembly 1. Print Vesa Mount Cover Plate 2. Insert the 4 M3 4mm x 4mm knurls into the Vesa Plate Cover (look up how to insert knurls - heat, glue, insert, done). 3. Lightly sand down the 4 plate cover holes where knurls are 4. Print 2 or 4 Surface Cradles (there is just 1 .stl for each of the left cradles. To make cradles for the right side just copy and mirror in your slicer). If want a more secure fit print the adjustable top cradles). 5. Make a sandwich - Fasten Cover Plate and 4 cradles to an existing Vesa mount. Insert the M3 16 screws with washers through the Vesa mount, cradle, and cover plate. 6. Place silicon bumpers over holes to prevent the screws from scratching your laptop (thinner the better - otherwise you will push the laptop out). 7. Configure. ### Configurations Vertical - Right bottom cradle down, Left bottom cradle to the left, Left-Top cradle to the left, Right-Top cradle to the right. Horizontal - 2 cradles down, 2 on top ### Printing Notes - Used Inland PETG - Printed the cradle holders on their sides no supports using .15mm quality, printed without brim, but would recommend one if your PETG has problems sticking - sides are thin.
