Semi Oval Monitor Mount Clamp pad

thingiverse

This is a "pad" to place between a monitor clamp mount that is shaped like a semi oval. The inner dimension of the cutout itself is approximately ~77mm x ~46mm x 2mm. the plate itself is 100x61x6mm. I built my own desk out of nicer quality wood so I wanted to protect it as best as I can. I know that some of these clamps do bite into the wood and damage it over time, so this pad in addition to adding a small strip of felt (as thin as possible to minimize clamping distance) should help protect the desk and also distribute the pressure into a larger area. This was printed on a CR-6SE using PLA, but I believe that PETG or ABS might be even stronger (or just go w/ Nylon if you have your printer set up properly) Note: I am printing this for a mount that will hold a monitor that is roughly 16lbs heavy. I do not know how well it'll hold up at that weight (+ the mount's weight itself) or anything heavier. So please keep this in mind when you print this, that I can not and will not guarantee its strength in this function. I believe it will work, but I can't guarantee it since I'm testing it myself right now. I hope this helps someone else so they don't have to spend too much time redesigning it. If you have any recommendations on what else I can do to improve it, I am open to try and implement it if I am capable of doing it correctly.
