It seems that most of the drywall mounts that I looked for printed in a vertical orientation, which is not good for strength.

For once, I didn't reverse engineer anything to design this. Lulz.

Update 8/10 - Added dimension sketches, Added .step file, Added a thinner support ring option that will sit more flush (but not completely)

Neat, now I can yell at you when shit falls down instead of just cursing these mounts in general. I hate these things, they often don't install well, fall apart and never hold the weight they are rated for. I've tried a bunch of different types and they all kinda suck. Print me a better studfinder and we can be friends.

I'll bookmark it because I'd rather print one than buy it, but just seeing these raises my BP.

I have switched to just using a ouija board and asking it where the stud is. Just as reliable but a little more fun.

Eeeeyyy! I just found the stud.
