TV mountable Board

thingiverse

You usually only have a print size that does not allow you to build a whole board. The fact that I have a seven-month-old son who's starting to crawl makes it necessary for me to move my electrical devices to somewhere else. But I didn't want to open the wall to hide the cables, so how can I move these devices on top of the television? The problem was born and the first step of the solution looks like this board. ## Measurements Well, just be clear, it should be pretty difficult to find the exact TV-mount I bought. Neither can I find an "it looks like the same" mount. And even when they look alike, maybe someone can use my idea to build one for other televisions. I have an LG 50PZ250. At the backside of the television are the VESA mount screw holes. The horizontal distance between the upper two holes is 400mm at mine. You can easily mount this board to these holes if you have enough space to the upper backside, I don't know if it may wobble a little bit because it's only screwed with one screw on each side, but the board-legs are strong enough, I think. I'll put some measurements in the next days about how the distance of the parts is. ## Material You can use any material you want. Keep in mind that if your devices get hot - I mean over or more than 60°C - then you should use PETG/ABS to prevent deformation. ## Amount of Parts 1 x Left 1 x Center 1 x Right 2 x Triconnector 6 x Nut ## Can I Print a Couple of Middle Elements? No, you cannot. The distance between the holes of the triconnector is not all identical. One of these holes has a bigger distance therefore it covers more area and with that carries a little bit more weight. I know, stupid, but it's like it is. Maybe I'll change that in the second version.
