I'm looking to install a vesa mount on my non vesa monitor and there are two options availabe, the cheaper one being 3D printed, with steel bolts for stabilization, and a more expensive version made from aluminum. Which one do you think would be better for a 7-8kg monitor?

This is an installation guide for the aluminum one, I think the plastic version would be installed the same way.

are you fucking retarded?

the metal one.

even just plastic is retarded, but 3d printed in braindead.

i just looked up the cost and i'm sorry you must be really struggling to even ask this question based on the difference in cost. chin up lad.

Chill, I'm just stingy and there's also shipping cost and shipping time to factor in. Thanks for your feedback.

are you factoring in the cost of breaking your monitor by being stingy?

being poor is expensive, you know

If you have experience with CAD, 3d printing will be just fine. It'll just need to be very bulky. But strength wise, it'll be fine if you're smart with layer orientation and can find heat-set inserts for screws that big.

Room temp IQ retard. It's less than 20lbs.

Nta but op isn’t asking to 3D print one, he’s buying a 3D printed one

I would say if it’s a movable mount and you’re going to move it around then definitely get the alu one but if it’s a static wall mount and you’re not touching or bumping into the monitor a lot then the 3D printed one should be okay. It looks crappy and they shouldn’t have embedded the nuts in the design but for a 7kg static load that should hold it up no problem.

the 3D printed one WILL break

>Room temp IQ retard. It's less than 20lbs.

i dont care if its less than 2.

printed plastic will not hold it.
