VESA monitor stand with LED

This is a VESA-compatible stand that comes with LED lights. It incorporates a 4-bar linkage design for the tilt mechanism that can support monitors of most weights and sizes.

The stand is part of a bigger monitor arm project that I started in the summer of 2021. My goal is to 3D print a fully functional ergonomic monitor arm. If you want to follow along, make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and check out other builds.

Print settings:

We used PLA in testing but I would recommend using ABS or ASA especially if the ambient temperature in your environment is above 25C. This is highly important because PLA will creep and deform over time if the room temperature is too warm or the load is too high.
