mount.step also referred to as a “plug”
This piece is carrying the whole weight off the monitor. I suggest you use the most structurally sound material on hand. I have used Prusament PC Blend.
- Nozzle 0.4mm
- Layer 0.15mm

- Infill 100%
- Supports: YES
Spacer 6mm
This piece is used to move the VESA mounting plate away from the monitor and create space for the nuts and bolts binding the VESA mounting plate with the plug.
There are no special requirements for this part, except for the height of the spacer to be around 6mm to prevent damage to the monitor. Print from non-flexible material.
