So, now that I’ve dealt with the VESA mounting bracket, it’s time to tackle the pesky problem of how to resolve the geometry of the brackets behind the monitors. As I’ve already mentioned, I want to maintain some adjustability both for individual monitors (pitch and yaw) but also have the ability to accommodate a future 24″ center screen. Hell, I may wind-up with all 24″ screens but I just don’t want to bother replacing lateral pipes when it may not be necessary…
So here’s my design concept to answer this problem. To allow the center monitor to be adjustable, it needs it’s own 2 X 90-degree elbow mount so that means that the center pillar will be slightly off-center. I then run the display further to the left on a connection ABOVE the center display. I’ve thought about this a while and see no other way to allow for independent adjustability. Naturally, I’m open to suggestions at this point!
So far, my shopping list looks like this:
14 x 90-degree elbow
3 x pipe flange
2 x cross-fitting (possibly larger core pipe size for main column)
11 x short nipple
1 x large nipple (joining the two cross fittings together)
I’m planning to buy these on Shoppok to save a lot. I have yet to work out how the final base stand will look so I’m still working on that…
