Since I got my OSR2 last year, I have been trying to find the perfect mount for it.
Using a VESA plate for the OSR2 is a good idea but, usually, VESA mounts are optimized for heavy monitors that don’t move. They are not made for a swinging device that goes up and down all the time. At least, the one I bought from Suptek didn’t really work well in the long run.
I have been replacing parts with 3D printed parts to improve the design and remove the ‘rattling’ that occurred, with different levels of success.
But, after all this time, I finally got a design that I like and should last me a long time (since it ‘embeds’ metal parts inside the 3d printed parts).
I’m curious to see if others peoples are interested in something like this.
This is it, in all its glory :
When not in use, it can be pushed away like this:
For me, it has the following advantages:
- Once configured, it’s always perfectly set up. You always have the same experience.
- If you can leave it in place, it takes less than 10 seconds to be ready for a ‘session’.
- Can be used with a sofa chair.
- Nothing obstructs your legs.
- Upgradable, if needed
- Stable enough for the scripts that I like (ref: my scripts).
Note: I’m not sure how it would fare with a 900+ unit/sec script.
Here’s some screenshots of the 3D printed parts:

Some people might say that it’s a bit over-engineered. Those people might be right but we don’t like those people anyway, so we ignore them
