Media player clamp for TV mounting

thingiverse

This is a clamping device to hold your small media player (western digital or raspberry pi) to the bottom of the TV so it looks like it belongs and does not just hang by the cable. First Inspect back of your TV - you need to see if there is a small 'shelf' on the back .. ideally only a few inches from the bottom edge. You may need to modify the design if the clamping surface is too big. The clamp will hook onto this shelf and pinch the WD (or whatever media streamer you use) to the bottom of the TV. (See the photos) During final assembly the bolt does not need to be tight - just snug to avoid slipping. Note: - The bolt is sized to be a smooth fit on the thread with very little friction and very little play. It does not need to be scaled any smaller to work well. - Print the bolt vertically, with the head of the bolt resting on the print bed. - The full design of the bolt is quite long ... but for your use it may not need to be full length - I simply aborted my print when the bolt was long enough. Decided not to modify the file since a long bolt may be needed by some. - The big hole in the clamp back is for access to the ports (HDMI etc) - The big hole in the base is for cooling / ventilation. - The Small triangles under overhang are for print support only - break them away after printing and clean up with sharp knife. - Slice in draft mode (0.2 mm) no supports are needed (breakaway supports are 'built into' the design)
