Monitor Stand

Simple monitor stand. Height 80mm. Included STL and STEP files are generated for 500x200x18 mm board. Source Fusion 360 F3D file is included. The model is parametric, dimensions for screw holes and the board can be changed in Change Parameters window in Fusion 360.

Assembly

Insert the end of a board into the opening of the legs. If legs with screw holes are used fix the board with self-tapping screws. It is best to pre-drill the screw holes on the board using one of the legs as a template. For the legs without screw holes it may still be needed to fix the board to the legs, i.e. using CA glue or resin to glue it in. Tolerance can be reduced for friction fit.

Print settings and tips

• Build volume: For the board I have (500x200x18) the model barely fits on Prusa MK3s and Ender 3. Anything larger will not fit on these printers. Prusa mini will probably not be able to fit the whole leg on the build plate.
• Infill: ≥ 15%. More is better for better rigidity. Looks great with Hilbert Curve bottom layer infill.
• Supports: No supports are required if printed with the outside face placed on the build plate. STL files are already oriented in this way.
• Layers and perimeters: About 4 perimeters/layers should be sufficient.
• Layer height: I printed mine with .6 nozzle and .3 layer height. There are no small details so feel free to experiment with larger nozzles. Standard .4 nozzle and .2 layer height should be good too, but will extended the print time.
• Tolerance: STL and STEP files have .15mm tolerance for the board built in. If it is too little/much you can either modify boardTolerance parameter in F3D file or simply use XY Size Compensation setting in Advanced section of PrusaSlicer. It is only visible in Expert mode.
• Material: PLA is strong enough. Maybe don't print in anything that is UV sensitive if the stand is placed near a window on a sunny side.
