Wall Stands and Wall Mounts: 3D Models in STL

«Wall Stands and Wall Mounts: 3D Models in STL»

The models differ mainly in how they hold an object. Some are simple brackets or cradles that press an item flat against the wall, others are small shelves, and a third group is a board with a grid of holes where hooks and holders are placed where you need them. Mounts for controllers, consoles and network units usually follow the outline of one device, while figure stands and record or instrument hangers are built around a single object's width and depth.

Before printing, read what the author lists: the size and scale of the part, the number of separate pieces and how they join, whether supports are needed, and the material and settings used for the shown print. Check the screw hole spacing and diameter against your wall type and the anchors you plan to use, and think about the load a bracket will carry, since a thin arm printed flat behaves differently from one printed upright. Photos of real prints on the model page tell you more about the finished surface and the joints than a render does.

If the first search gives too few results, try other wordings: wall mount, wall bracket, holder, hanger, wall shelf, pegboard or hook. Related topics are worth a look as well, such as controller and headphone storage, cable clips, helmet hooks, record display and modular board systems, because many of these parts are designed to work together on the same panel.

A search can also be narrowed by the object you want to hang, by the wall it goes on, or by the style of the mount, such as a flat bracket, a shelf or a hook board.
