Mounts & holders
Need to Mount Something That Standard Holders Don’t Fit?
When a device has an unusual shape or the mounting location is constrained, the useful question is not “which standard bracket should I buy?” but “what shape actually needs to connect these two things?”
Objects we can evaluate
Start with the object you want—not with a printing process.
These examples describe project types, not a fixed product catalog. The final design, material and manufacturing approach depend on the dimensions and intended use you provide.
Why people look for this
The search usually starts with a specific frustration.
The device has no suitable commercial mount.
The mounting surface or space is unusual.
Ports or buttons must remain accessible.
The holder needs to follow a particular installation angle.
What to send
You do not need to prepare a technical brief.
Good measurements and context are usually more useful than guessing manufacturing terminology. Send what you already know and identify what is uncertain.
Exact device model or dimensions
Photos from several sides
Mounting surface dimensions
Required access to ports/buttons
Expected orientation and approximate load
Load-bearing, overhead, heat-exposed or safety-critical installations require additional suitability review and should not be assumed appropriate for a printed component.
How the project moves
Photo, measurements or file → review → design → print.
Show the real context
Send the object, space, measurements, photos or existing file.
Define fit and function
We identify the dimensions, interfaces, visual constraints and intended use that matter.
Prepare the geometry
If no printable model exists, custom design or modification can be included in the project scope.
Quote the real project
Production is quoted from the actual geometry, quantity and requirements rather than a generic “price per gram.”
Questions specific to this project
Before you send it.
Can you design around an existing device?
Yes. Accurate device dimensions, model information or reference photos are needed to establish fit and clearances.
Can ports and ventilation remain accessible?
Those constraints should be identified in the brief so the holder can be designed around them.
Can the mount attach to a shelf instead of a wall?
Potentially. The attachment concept depends on shelf geometry, thickness, load and intended orientation.
