AppleColor RGB Monitor height adjustment tool

[AlexMac]

Hi all, I just acquired a beautiful AppleColor RGB Monitor. Here and there I see pictures of it where it is elevated a bit with some bar stuck below it. Attaching a picture of what I mean and a second one of how my monitor looks from the bottom. Probably that bar can even be rotated into two different heights.

If you know what I mean, did that thing come with the monitor back in the days? If you have one, can you measure it for me and send me some photos? I'd like to make a model for the 3D printer and share it here.

Thanks everybody!

My display came with a large swiveling pedestal that the monitor can sit on top of. This would be way too big for practical 3D printing, unfortunately.

It looks like this one: https://applerescueofdenver.com/pro...acintosh/apple-universal-monitor-stand-m0403/

Thank you @davidg5678. That is not the stand I was looking for. I mean that little bar below the monitor. I made one myself now and the 3D model looks like this. One can raise the monitor by 1,5 or 2,0cm with it by using it in one of two possible orientations. Let's see how it comes out of the printer and if it fits ... I will keep you guys posted.

@AlexMac Would love a 3D file on Thingiverse or something similar. I also wondering this, so thanks for making it!

Sure, happy to share it with you. Little disclaimer: I never had the original stand and nobody ever shared measurements or detailed photos of it with me. So I made it as good as I could from the few pictures I found. It does the job but it is not identical to the original. A closer copy of original was made by someone and shared on the 68kmla forum here.

I attached my model as an STL to this message in case someone still wants to try it.

I made the model that’s closer to the original and had posted it on 68Kmla (as @AlexMac mentioned). Also posted it to printables, link in my signature.

Really well done @jmacz Thanks for sharing this great model
