Update 2025-6-25: Added fusion 360 archive file so other can edit or adjust file as they want. Please do not judge me to harshly, I did not label all of my sketches.
A slim profile wall mount for a Lenovo M11 tablet so it can be used as a home automation dashboard. I designed this around using a slim right angle USB C cable to charge the tablet. This way the side bezels of the wall mount can be about 6mm wide all they way around the screen. This is very similar to my previous models for the Amazon Fire Tablet, I had finally gotten annoyed with glitches from amazon's OS
USB C Cable
Printing
The two part version "Large" main body is able to fit on a Prusa MK3, but the “door” will need to be printed separately. For mine I have printed it with a “Matte White Pla” from Overture as I did not want it to be glossy at the end. After printing I did use very high grit sand paper to smooth the sides and to get rid of layer lines. But sanding is not necessary for the mount to work.
Test Prints
I have included a file for a testing a partial main mount body so you can test slicing setting without having to print the entire thing. The most difficult part to print right are the tabs on the door that clip into the main body. The dovetail joint is the next "annoying" part to get right. I recommend a 0.15 layer height. Also depending on your printer you may need to adjust the orientation. To get the full sized part to fit, so when testing the partial parts, make sure they are in the same orientation that the full size parts will be in.
I have included my 3mf file that I used to generate the final gcode I used. I would not recommend ironing, as it seems to cause the edges that sits next to the bezel to curl.
My personal setup
For my setup I was able to run an POE Cat-5 cable to behind the wall where the tablet was going to be mounted. So then using a Calon Low Voltage Old Work Bracket (from a big box home center), I was able to mount the tablet to the wall and have a space to put the POE to UBS adapter.
I then debloated tablet and installed Fully Kiosk Browser and Home assistant to get a functioning local only dashboard to start controlling smart stuff throughout the house. This time it was much easier than trying to debloat my previous fire tablet. And so far there seems to be less glitches than with the fire tablet as the Lenovo Android OS is not constantly trying to fight Fully Kiosk Browser to display ads
