TV/Monitor Flexible Mounting system 8mm Rod

thingiverse

Not my greatest idea, using 8mm rod for mounting monitors is a pain the nuts take forever to place on the rods, the nuts have to be tightened really TIGHT, coach bolts don't work they just rotate in the plastic, access to nuts close to wall is nearly impossible, it took forever to print all the bits. It does work though. I would not do it this way next time, I'd just purchase some steel rectangle section and use that, rod's tend to twist way too much. Instructions If you are stupid enough to attempt this All the parts are correctly rotated so print as required. I printed 20% infill, 3 perimeters, 3 layers top and bottom, 0.3mm layer height, no support. The Spacers are all multiples of 17mm. Hardware required is 8mm Threaded rod cut to suit 8mm nuts and washers 38mmx8mm repair washers for top and bottom of the pillar's (this is essential or you'll just squash the plastic) Loctite or thread lock is essential The 68mm Hinge spacer will give 17mm adjustment up down and the 85 should give 32mm adjustment by turning the threaded rod. (I slotted the three rods attached to each monitor, so I could use a flat screw drive to make fine adjustment after complete assembly). Note: create the frame and monitors off the wall then remove the monitors and mount to wall, its almost impossible to do by assembling directly to the wall as you will be forever removing the rods to cut them to size. Again having done it this way I wouldn't bother.
