Although this is designed for a Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040, you can redesign the bracket that attaches to the bottom of the projector to align with mounting holes on other models.

This is a remix so that the projector is free standing rather than supported from the ceiling.  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4024833 The changes are as follows:

  • Projector mounting holes changed to match Epson PowerLite 1040 projector
  • Support bracket slots have been rotated 180° to account for the change from the projector hanging to the project standing.

I added more plastic to both pieces for additional strength to support the projector (remove moment arms of gravity's force down on cantilevered supports). 

The two parts I changed are also attached as step files.  The rest of the files remain STL format.

Print Settings:

Printer Brand: Monoprice

Printer: Maker Ultimate

**Rafts:** Yes

Supports: Yes

**Resolution:** 120

Infill: 45

**Filament:** Inland PLA+ White 

Notes: 

I used a small amount of silicone grease on the threads to prevent them from seizing during assembly. I also used radial supports on the screws and other circular parts to align with the parts.
I recommend printing one screw first and verify that it fits. The design is quite tight and you may need to shrink the screws by 1-5% to thread into the shaft.
I intentionally left the holes to mount to the projector small so I could drill them larger as needed for screws I had on hand.
Finally, my print bed is 200mm x 200mm and the Epson mount only fits at 25° to 35° rotation to be printed diagonally across the bed.

3 Axis Ceiling Video Projector Mount

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I only included the two parts that I changed. You'll need to download the other parts from Xqua's ceiling mount to finish the build: axis shaft, roof plate, & 5 screws. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4024833 The changes are as follows:

  • Projector mounting holes changed to match Epson PowerLite 1040 projector
  • Support bracket slots have been rotated 180° to account for the change from the projector hanging to the project standing
  • Reinforced supports to handle significant moment arm caused by the weight of the projector and the 3-axis adjustment
