It seems that most of the drywall mounts that I looked for printed in a vertical orientation, which is not good for strength.

For once, I didn't reverse engineer anything to design this. Lulz.

Update 8/10 - Added dimension sketches, Added .step file, Added a thinner support ring option that will sit more flush (but not completely)

Nice design!! Also love to see the interactions you're doling out. Keeps the community alive. You seem like a nice person!

Aww, thank you! I can be a sarcastic ass sometimes, but such is life. Regardless, it's fun to design and share things. That reminds me... I included the .f3d file with this design but I forgot to add a .step. I'll add that and some clearer dimensions for it tomorrow.

Lemmy just needs all the love it can get and interactions are super critical for that. After being on Reddit for over 12 years, it's great to be part of something new.
