Computer Monitor Mount
A challenge is faced when trying to mount the AOCi226fw-22 inches computer monitor to an adjustable mount stand. Specifically, no threading has been inserted onto the back of the monitor to attach it to the metal plate of the mounting arm. The present project briefly describes the design and assembly of a monitor mount allowing to attach the AOCi226fw monitor to an adjustable mount stand.
Supplies
- 3D Printing Material --> Carbon Fiber Filled Nylon
- Screws --> M5 x 0.8 mm - 25 mm Long
- Nuts --> M5 x 0.8 mm Square Nut
- 3D Printer --> Ender 3 Pro
- Computer Monitor Screen --> AOCi226fw-22 inches
- Monitor Adjustable Arm --> Dual Mount Stand
Design & 3D Printing
Carbon fibre-filled Nylon filament was used as 3D printing material to optimize the component's strength. Fusion 360 was used to design the part. The STL file is provided below and can be downloaded directly into CURA or any other slicing software. The Fusion-360 model file (f3d file) is also provided if one wishes to modify the design.
Printing Parameters:
- Nozzle Temperature: 260 *C
- Bed Temperature: 100 *C
- Extruding Speed: 60 mm/sec
- Printing Speed: 90 mm/sec
The parameters could be further adjusted for optimal print quality.
As a side note, I was highly surprised by the Carbon Fibre-filled Nylon filament strength. Extremely rigid and durable!
Assembly
A standard mesh paired with a drill was utilized to make the hole for the screws. The location of the holes can be adjusted based on the mounting arm model. Washers were inserted within the M5 screws to avoid damaging the component when screwing the back square nuts. Screws and nuts were ordered from McMaster-Carr, but any other screws could be utilized.
