VESA Mount Adapter Plate for Monitor Speakers

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted a better way to mount my speakers, and to get them off of my desk and reclaim my desk space. I decided to mount them onto a dual-monitor arm so the speakers would flank my monitor and be able to be positioned better. The only issue was that I needed a way to adapt the speaker to attach securely to the VESA mount, so I designed this adapter plate.</p><p>This adapter plate uses a 75x75mm VESA pattern, however I have included the STEP file so you can easily adjust it to use the common 100x100mm (or any other) pattern.</p><p>What you will need for each adapter plate:</p><ul><li>4x M5x12mm button head screws</li><li>4x M5 heat-set inserts</li><li>25mm 3M VHB tape</li></ul><p>I highly recommend a soldering iron with temperature control for installing the heat-set inserts, such as a Pinecil.</p><p>I printed this in Carbon Fiber PETG with 5 perimeters for the heat-set inserts. PLA, ABS, ASA would also be fine.</p><p>Assembly is simple:</p><ol><li>Set your soldering iron to at or below the printing temperature of your material.</li><li>Position the adapter plate on the edge of a table with the flat side UP</li><li>Place the insert over the hole and gently push it through with the soldering iron. Repeat for all four holes</li><li>Apply VHB tape. If you use 12mm screws, you can safely cover the holes with VHB as they will be flush with the plate</li><li>Stick plate to the bottom of your speaker</li><li>Attach to your VESA mount with the M5 Screws</li></ol>
