Hexamodular Monitor Riser

Lift your monitor to new levels with this new modular screen riser print. Designed to suit all 3D printers (including the A1 Mini) this modular print allows you to customise the assembly to suit your setup perfectly. Just combine with a flat surface / shelf / the full works of Shakespeare and away you go.

The print profile in this upload is designed to lift your shelf by 67.5mm and can support a pretty decent weight. The granite butchers block in the photos weighs over 7 kg on it's own and the stands had no issue with that.

You can build your own custom stands by joining the hexamodules however you see fit. If you want to print the components you need directly then each can be found as single parts in my Hexamodular collection here.

The stand plates shown in my photos are:

1. Ikea NORRÅVA (Top plate for the Ikea RÅSKOG trolley)
2. The complete works of Shakespeare - Please don't tell my wife
3. Granite butchers block (7kg) - Usually sat keeping my A1 Mini stable whilst printing

Key Features

• Modular - Each hexamodule is 25 mm tall and can be stacked numerous times when connected using a joint pin. The base stands and screw fixing plates are half hexamodules and allow for half height increments to be realised.
• Easy Printing - No supports are needed to print the parts and minimal effort is needed to prepare the parts for assembly, simply remove from the brim and connect together.
• Versatility - The base plates feature small hexagon dimples which increase surface area, perfect if you want to bond your new parts to another print / component. The screw fixing plates allow for up to 4 screws per part to be used to join to another print / component.
• Simple Assembly* - Simply align two parts together and insert a push fit joint pin to connect them together. You'll hear / feel a small click when the pin is inserted correctly.

What is Hexamodular?

Hexamodular is a new project I'm working on to build items from a series of standard parts (hexamodules). Each hexamodule is joined to it's neighbours using simple 3D printed push fit pins.

The project is very much in it's infancy and in early development stages so any constructive feedback / ideas / suggestions are much appreciated.

The building blocks of hexamodular can be found within my Hexamodular collection here.

Other prints seen in the photos:

• Deburring tool case
• Seedling propagator
   

*The joint pins are definitely on the list of things I want to improve first. Whilst they do work well once in place they can be a little fiddly to insert due to their small size and having to work inside the hexagons. Once you get the hang of it they become easy though. I've found the best way is to press them into one hexamodule first, then align the second piece and push through, rather than trying to push through two in one go.
