How to Create an Elegant Keyhole-style Wall Mount in Fusion

Recently I recreated a very nice 3D-printable wall hook with concealed screws and wanted to share the process. In general it can be described as a "glorified keyhole mount".

Only the basics of solid modeling in Fusion will be required for this project.

The main sketch shows all shapes and dimensions used in this tutorial. Feel free to adjust these to your use case. All extrusions are made in join mode. Don't forget to create a new component for each part!

We're starting with the wall-mounted part. It has the same function as the screw head in the keyhole mount and it will be mounted to the wall with two M3 screws.

The "shell" will hide all the components of the mount while being the "keyhole slot"-part of the keyhole mount.

This mounting plate is required to keep the outer piece connected to the shell.

This part will be attached to the thing you want to mount to the wall. It will be connected to the mounting plate with two M3 screws.

Re-check the alignment of the holes and the offsets one final time prior to printing!
