Description
Our daughter got a Lite Brite for Christmas. Then she wanted a way to display it on her wall. Introducing a wall mount French cleat system for a modern Lite Brite. Inspired by repkords, https://twitter.com/repkord?s=20 love of French cleats. I had grand plans of it using the mounting holes used to secure it in the box.
I have that design initially laid out in the Onshape model https://cad.onshape.com/documents/20507eaad2f9c7821cb4d01b/w/bfe4580b046cbe24b3dbe7f4/e/59e565a90298ff820749bd89?renderMode=0&uiState=63f42d8a36adda0b47f35684.
But those didn't quite work out in the initial print. so 3M double sided tape to the rescue for securing the Lite Brite Cleat to the Lite Brite.
The wall mount has some features I thought would be handy.
Spoiler Alert, my daughter loved it for a few hours until she wanted to use it. With the Cleat taped to the Lite Brite it wasn't her favorite way to use it. So keep an eye out for a shelf that might use the wall cleat for mounting.
