How dose it mount to the back of the monitor

@Krispyconman_3598081 Hey Kris, it uses standard Vesa mount screws M4

Can this be mounted onto an already VESA mounted monitor?

@Stewett_2315885 I strongly doubt it; even with the use of long screws, the components are likely to interfere with the movements of the mount.

great idea,can act like a dock behind the monitor or hold it to be a second screen,tysm

Super cool idea, works flawlessly!

I slightly modified the mount to use less material and print faster, turned out great!

I used Prusa Galaxy Black PETG, 0.2mm layer height, 3 perimeters (0.48mm), 4 top/bottom layers, 20% cubic infill with anchors.

@pajdzik Job well done, love the efficiency and the idea of saving on materials.

I'd add a filet on the sharp corner in the bottom (where the high stress concentration point is) but other than that, flawless dimensioning and works perfectly for my use case.

i'm glad you liked it, thanks for the tips, i design it in Tinkercad which has no fillet feature, but i intend to redo it in fusion, ill update the download file if so.
