I got frustrated trying to wall mount my pair of the wall mounts made by kendrome (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1527199) evenly and straight so I took the holes on the wall brackets and created this simple jig to let me easily space the the mounts out and line them up so they are even. Figured I'd share to help others that are likely to get frustrated too. Even if you don't like my spacing this should still be handy to mount the one at a time since there's no perfect flat surface on the mounts reliable enough to put a level on.

Notes:

I also set perimeters to 3, top and bottom solid layers to 4 . Since this is just a template you can vary anything as you see fit to save plastic. It only needs to survive marking holes.

How I Designed This

Basic bar with holes made in Fusion 360. Measured hole diameter and distances with a ruler and caliper. Eyeballed and adjusted hole spacing in slic3r and tinkered the hole position in fusion until they lined up with the original wall mounts. Final print came out dead on.
