The file 'Tablet Wall Mount Brackets 3D Printer Model' is (stl,max) file type, size is 79.3KB.
I designed these straightforward mounting brackets for the purpose of wall-mounting my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, which I had lying around. This setup allows me to conveniently check my security cameras and doorbell feed whenever someone approaches the door or a package delivery is detected.
This feature proves especially valuable during the early morning hours or late at night when unexpected visitors arrive while I'm asleep.
The brackets were tailored for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, which has a thickness of approximately 8.4mm, and the slot measures 8.5mm, providing ample room for easy insertion and removal of the tablet. For a snugger fit, one can affix some felt to the back of the slot to increase friction. The two-part design accommodates various tablet models and sizes, provided they are no more than 8.5mm thick. If you have a thicker or thinner tablet, you can adjust the Z-axis accordingly.
These brackets work best with tablets ranging from 5 to 8 inches when used in a landscape orientation. For larger tablets, you can make adjustments to the necessary dimensions. The same applies if you prefer a portrait orientation. In that case, I recommend mirroring the Right Side Mount (the one without the charger plug cutout). The cutout is specifically positioned for my tablet, which has the charging port on the right-hand side where my door frame aligns. You can use your slicer's mirror function to flip it as needed.
To separate the parts into individual objects, simply utilize your slicer's "split to parts" function. I initially uploaded them as one to simplify the upload process, given Thingiverse's known issues with file management. As far as I know, PrusaSlicer, Cura, and BambuStudios all offer this feature. Please refrain from requesting a reupload, mirroring, or redesigning for such straightforward adjustments. If you cannot make these modifications yourself, you might want to reconsider 3D printing, as these are fundamental tasks that all 3D printer users should be familiar with.
Numerous videos and tutorials covering these adjustments are readily available online.
I've also included the source 3DS Max file, allowing you to import it into your preferred 3D/CAD application for more advanced alterations.
When printing the parts, lay the long side flat on the bed, with the short ends and tablet slots facing upward. The screw holes should be perpendicular to the bed, eliminating the need for supports.
I used PLA for my prints, but any filament type and color should work. The choice of infill settings depends on your desired strength for the mounts. Higher infill results in stronger but slightly heavier mounts. Even at 100% infill, they won't be excessively heavy, just a few ounces. Your tablet will be the heaviest component and will dictate the choice of screws and, if necessary, wall anchors. Simple plastic drywall "mollies" should suffice for most modern tablets.
