Ergonomic Ajustable Monitor Stand
Description
Some time ago, I got this old monitor without a stand. It laid around for a while until I found some use for it, but with no stand, it was a bit of a nuisance to use. I looked all over the internet to find a suitable stand I could print, but none fit my needs. If I was going to spend a lot of filament and time printing something, I wanted it to last so, I decided to design my own with the following characteristics: 1-It must be strong 2-It must be adjustable 3-It must fit, not only my monitor, but any VESA standard monitor. 4-It must be cheap to produce. The base is made of PVC pipe. I used 40mm diameter but I believe 32mm should be fine for small monitors. I designed the plate that should be screwed to the back of the monitor, but at the last minute, I decided to make it from a sheet of metal I had. Anyway, the part is there. You will need: 1 meter* of 40mm PVC pipe. 3 T joints. 5 end caps. 8 screws M4x15mm 4 screws M4x10mm 1 screw M4x40mm 1 screw M4x30mm 14 nuts M4 *This is enough for a 40cm high stand. If you need a taller one, buy a longer piece. Cut two segments of 10cm, two segments of 13cm and two segments of 7cm from the piece of pipe. The remaining 40cm of the pipe (or more, if you got more than one meter of pipe) will be the post of the stand. Connect the post to the central opening one of T joints. On the other two openings of that joint put the two pieces of 10cm. This is going to be the central part of the stand. On each of the other two remaining T joints, connect one piece of 13cm and one of 7cm on the lateral openings, so they laid in the same line. Connect the remaining central openings of those T joints to each side of the central part. Be careful now to make it square. Once glued, PVC cannot be separated and the adhesive dries fast. Close all the endings with the end caps but DO NOT GLUE the one on the top of the post. If you do that, it will be impossible to fit the printed parts to the stand. Now print all the parts and assemble as shown in the picture. If you need more weight on the base, fill it with sand or any loose material. It is a good idea to drill a small hole somewhere to vent the interior of the pipes.
