I bought a monitor arm for my 2 monitors to tidy up my desk. As everything was installed and i was ready to fasten the monitors, i realized that they don’t have a vesa mount!
Are you serious Samsung??? WTF? Why are there monitors without Vesa?
But, wait, I am some sort of tech nerd owning mostly everything - soooooo…
Pull out my Einstar Vega and scan the back part of my monitor, because sure not will it be a flat plane, haha!
Here is my monitor prepared for removing the stand:
The first scan was really tricky but went right at the first try:
Unfortunately the scanned area was to small so i did it again with the help of some bluetape:
That turned out amazing! No spray, nothing just the bluetape for the border and some loose bits to help it a bit. Sure you have to move really slow and steady but i tried it several times with a competitors device and no chance at all!
Next push it in FreeCAD and design the holder:
Next step the slicer of your choice, mine is Orca:
Upload to the printer and hit print:
Now wait some 10 hours and be granted with a nice finished product that not only holds water but also my monitor!
In my design are holes for m4 nuts to hold the bolts and i glued the holder to the back of my monitor. It is a really old one, so i decided the easy way.
Scan - CAD - Print - Repeat!
Have a nice rest of the year, and make some stuff!!!
