Monitor Frame

So, I scavenged a display out of a dead laptop and found a working driver board on ebay. While the display works great, it's a bit difficult to use when it's just a raw panel with a couple boards glued to it, so I modeled a replacement frame so that I could VESA mount it with the rest of my monitors. I've modeled the whole thing in OnShape and split it into a couple pieces to make it printable on a standard sized bed.

UNLESS YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME MONITOR, DRIVER BOARD, HEAT SETS, AND MOUNTING COMBO, THE STL FILES PROVIDED WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU. USE THE LINKED ONSHAPE DOCUMENT TO FORK AND CREATE YOUR OWN, USING YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS

A frame for a 17" laptop panel only used about 600g of plastic, and it's pretty solidly attached.

The frame is designed to use pins to join frame segments, and heat set inserts to attach the VESA block that locks everything in. You shouldn't need any glue for the pins, as the VESA block will lock the panels together.

I printed the frame on the bottom and top sides, as shown in the frame.3mf file. I added cheater disks to the non-rounded edge, but I still had a bit of warping on both ends of the print. You may want to use a brim or really stick it into the bed.

The file is mostly parametric, but you'll want to futz with the driver board and control board mounting.
