This is a custom wall mount for my 2nd screen Dell P2417H (simmilar models with same stand will fit as well). It’s a 24" monitor with pivot stand (can adjust up/down, portrait/landscape and tilt), but it doesnt suppport vesa mount (edit: this is wrong, it does support vesa, but then cant use pivot mechanism). I wanted it on the wall so I printed 3 parts out out of PLA. One part is screwed in the wall and the other one is securing monitor in place using zip ties. 3rd part is a small shelf that is mounted underneath (with original screw for monitor base), but its there mostly to provide a flat surface between monitor and a wall.
I’ve been using it (2 actually) for few years in old place and I love it. It can be a bit tricky to tighten zip ties, but its only done once anyway.
I’ll upload files if someone needs them
Huh? Dell makes monitors that don’t support VESA mounts?
I’m 99% sure this monitor has a the ability for a VESA mount. The specs you linked say it has. According to Dell they even sell the thing without a stand, that wouldn’t make sense if it didn’t have another way to mount it.
The manual explains the VESA mount: https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_display_projector/esuprt_display/dell-p2417h-monitor_user’s_guide_en-us.pdf
This just goes to show that people with a 3d printer would rather design their own solution rather than taking 10 seconds to figure out an already existing one.
Haha I agree Im like that! But IMO, In this case it really made sense to design and print a custom mount to keep existing pivot mechanism, at least for me
Buddy of mine has 6 Dell monitors he inherited from a network upgrade that have no VESA holes.
I could be more specific. You are right, it supports VESA, but only if you remove pivot stand (the reason I bought the monitor in first place). This way I can have it wall mounted and still use tilt/pivot/vertical motion. Pivot stand build quality is great
Pivoting+tilting+swivelling VESA wall mounts are also a thing, so you wouldn’t have needed to choose the display based on its stand
I personally wouldn’t have risked my monitor on being able to design a part that is able to last just to save the few bucks a mount costs. So props to you, I guess.
Im aware all kind of mounts exist, my setup is made from parts I had at home (including monitor ofc). I didnt want to spend 50€ or more on decent mount for 140€ monitor, but I respect that most people would just buy off the shelf product. Just sharing what I think someone might find usefull.
Strength wise, Im not worried at all, but Im clumsy enough that one monitor fell and screen broke while moving last year (RIP)
