I wanted to mount a Raspberry Pi display on the side of a cabinet to get access to the Home assistant interface from a convenient location.

Print instructions: 

  • the most important change is to use enough perimeters to get the sides strong enough to sustain the weight. I used 4 with a 0.4mm nozzle.
  • with the correct orientation no supports are needed (back.3mf and rim.3mf are already in the correct orientation, the 3rd file is the assembled part).

Assembly instructions (it is not trivial to assemble because I didn't want any screws outside the mount):

  1.  use the “back” piece to mark the 4 holes ( 174.5 mm horizontally, 95.2mm vertically) and drill them
  2.  use 4 M3 screws that are at least 15mm longer than the wall thickness and screw them in the back piece (the holes are 2.9 mm so the screws will cut a tread, do not use excessive force.)
  3. Install the Raspberry Pi on the display (make sure that the OS is installed and configured correctly, it will be very hard to remove the sd card afterwards). Also install the power cable and the network cable if WIFI isn't used.
  4. use 4 M3x10 screws to attach the back piece to the rim and to the display
  5. place it on the wall, and secure it using 4 M3 nuts and spacers.
