I wanted to hang my mac mini off the back of my monitor, but while some Dell montiors expose a VESA mount, on the 3818 it's used by the monitor stand. So I designed up this adapter to hang on the top of the stand, so I could then attach@@CalMarrero_303401's Mac mini mount to the adapter.

Potential future improvements, here. If at some point I'm bored, I might improve, but I'll upload the Fusion 360 model in case somebody wants to have a go: 

  • I used superglue for the two parts. Added glue, clamped for a few hours - it's solid as a rock. So far. The mini mount has screw holes at what look like VESA spacing…in theory I/you/someone could add holes to the adapter so the two could screw together…
  • The adapter is a very utilitarian model. More work could be done to sculpt it into something that looks a little better, but I'm looking at this side of the screen, not that side.
