Standing Desk Monitor Arm Guide Wheel

With the transition back to school, I decided to improve my desk setup with an adjustable sit-stand desk frame, to improve the ergonomic situation and make those long evenings working behind the screen a bit more enjoyable. Studying at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium, we get a lot of group work to do, so Team calls are quite frequent as well.

The only problem with that new desk setup is the fact that when my arm-mounted monitor is pushed back, it will grind against the wall when the desk is moving, leaving a dark and ugly streak of paint on the wall.

So I decided to take the time to design a small accessory, that will mount to the monitor arm and hold a rubber rollerblading wheel, to act as a bumper/roller and prevent the monitor arm from coming in contact with the wall.

This piece will work if your monitor arm has a diameter of 31 mm and you have a 64 mm rollerblading wheel. Otherwise, you will need to adapt this file. This Thing is more of a concept to give you inspiration.
