Description
Designed a wall mount to fit the Dell Optiplex Micro PC that I recently got. My network setup is pretty limited where I live, and having space to run everything I want is even more limited. The only wired internet I can currently run is within a small media panel, and this PC must run on ethernet.
The best solution for me was to mount my PC in a confined space near the rest of my networking equipment (because I do not need to access it physically) since that would make the whole setup as painless as possible. But, most of the options I found online were not suitable for my needs. And that's why this was created!
My residence does not allow us to drill into the walls (for the most part, I just try to avoid using screws here anyways) and with it being a network closet that I have no clue what's behind the wall, I didn't want to risk it. So, I set out to create a solution that would work with 3M CommandStrips!
The CommandStrips I used were the velcro ones, Medium sized. They are rated for 12lbs when using 4 pairs, which is exactly what I designed for. So far, it is working great and my whole setup is functional and easily removable when I inevitably move out.
While I did design this to use with CommandStrips, I DID also design recessed holes and access holes for someone to install this in the wall using #10 screws. I don't have any way to test if this feature works myself, but it should work.

Model is already oriented for optimal printing, and prints in one piece. And these preferences are what I used on my mostly stock Ender 3 V2:
I printed this in 3DHOJOR Blue PLA Pro that I bought off of Amazon. Really pretty color, prints super well, and offers some better heat resistance which is important to me since this PC will be running constantly in a confined space.
And if you see stringing/artifacts in the images, please ignore them. I had my printer put away for a couple months and I didn't take the time to fine-tune the setup before printing it all. Even with some of those issues, this printed just fine.

I hope you enjoy the model! If you have any recommendations or suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.
