VESA Adapter for 30 inch Apple Cinema HD Display

An adapter plate for the Apple Cinema Display (30 inch).

This is so you can use one of these old chunky monitors on a more useful stand!

You'll need to remove the stand that comes with the monitor, and save those two fancy looking screws on the side. You'll also need four M4 nuts to use in the screw holes on the adapter itself, as threading in to PLA to hold a monitor that weighs this much isn't a great idea.

It is a tight-fitting model, and I found that the high-infill print didn't fit, but the 15% one did. You milage may vary depending on your printer settings. I suggest thicker walls and an infill higher than 15%. I had normal 0.8mm walls and only 15% infill, and it seems to hold just fine.
