VESA Adapter for 30 inch Apple Cinema HD Display

thingiverse

An adapter plate for the Apple Cinema Display (30 inch) ensures compatibility with more versatile stands. This modification enables the use of vintage monitors on a sturdier base, elevating their functionality. To assemble the adapter, detach the original stand from the monitor, preserving the two distinctive screws located on its sides. Additionally, four M4 nuts are required to secure them in the adapter's screw holes. Mounting the adapter directly onto PLA would be impractical due to the weight of the monitor. The design is optimized for a snug fit, but may require adjustments depending on printer settings and infill density. Higher infill percentages or thicker walls can enhance structural integrity. Normal 0.8mm walls with 15% infill seem sufficient for this application, but results may vary based on individual printer configurations.
