Dell Monitor Stand (4 screw) to VESA 100mm Adapter by Pherson

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

I ordered a new monitor on ebay that didn't come with a stand. I had an old Dell UltraSharp monitor + stand lying around that didn't work anymore. One can buy an adapter on ebay for $10, but hey, I had a 3D printer so I came up with this simple design to attach any VESA 100mm-compatible monitor to the dell stand. There's a similar-looking mount on thingiverse, but that one's for a stand with 3 screws, and doesn't work on my four screwed one (I tried). Anyways, in order to assemble this you'll need 4 M4 socket-head bolts. I used M4 x 8mm because that's smallest I had, but realistically 5 or 6mm would be better. If they're longer than 6mm they will still work, but the display can't be rotated after installation. The model also has hexagon sockets for an M4 and an M5 nut to latch on to the 2 round bumps on the stand. They're not entirely necessary but I think they help. Anyways, I hope this helps someone out there!
