VESA 200 x 100 adaptor for Dell Monitor stand

thingiverse

I wanted a stand for my TV, which has a 200 x 100 VESA mount. I trawled the internet and couldn't find one that I liked so bought a surplus Dell stand and set about making an adaptor. The adaptor fits straight on to the Dell stand via 4 x countersunk M4 x 10mm bolts. I bought a stand suitable for a 22in monitor and its counter-weighted nicely (there's a spring in the arm to allow easy movement up and down). The tolerances on the adaptor are zero, which means that if you print it out at 0.35mm like I did, you'll need to slowly run a 4mm drill bit through the holes and use a countersinking bit to get the bolts to sit flush. Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Mk2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.35mm Infill: 20% Notes: Printed on a Prusa i3 Mk2 using Slic3r standard settings and a thin layer of glue on the bed. It just about fits on a Mk42 heated bed. Just. How I Designed This Designed on FreeCAD 0.16 I'm still learning FreeCAD, so this was a practial exercise for me to try out my new-learned skills. I originally designed it as a 4mm 'H' section which was nothing like stiff enough and it just didn't look good. I took measurements from the stand that I was adapting, then used simple primary shapes to come up with the design.
