90-degree VESA bracket, 2-part
I think it's terrible that makerbot patented something that a user made. Isn't that just plain theft? If not theft, it's immoral. It's something nice people don't do.
Do not use this. It does not work.
Update 2: The triangle shapes made a weak point. Back to the SCADing board!
Update: Newer version. You can change many parameters in the OpenSCAD file, if you really want. It doesn't need to be that parameterized, but this was a learning experience.
I want a 90-degree adapter for a 100-mm hole-spacing VESA mount. I found one, but it was too big to fit on my RepRap build area. I decided to try to build one as an experiment in OpenSCAD.
I wanted it to be made of two parts held together by bolts. I thought I could also make the two parts identical, so I just print the part twice.
There are interlocking bits that are meant to add strength. There is also a crude fillet along the side of the triangular brace. I didn't want to spend too much time coming up with a solution that resulted in a true fillet with a radius, and I think this should work well enough.
At the last minute I added in some holes to reduce the print time and total plastic use. I suppose they could also add some strength, too. I chose square (diamond) shaped holes for the vertical re-enforcement triangle because I thought that circular holes would be messy at the tops.
