The monitor arm side-kick

This mount lets you attach an iPad holder to an existing monitor arm, giving you more space on your desk while securely holding your tablet. It’s designed for a standard monitor pole diameter of 3.5 cm, but you can easily scale the model to fit larger or smaller poles.

Notes

• Default size fits 3.5 cm monitor poles (scale in your slicer for other sizes)
• Built-in opening to route an iPad charging cable neatly through the arm
• Requires 3 × M4x20 bolts and 3 nuts for a firm connection

Assembly instructions

1. Print the parts in PETG for strength (PLA is possible, but may bend over time).
2. Use a short piece of filament to align the holder and monitor arm piece, preventing tilting.
3. Assemble using the M4x20 bolts and nuts.
4. Route the charging cable through the opening, connect it to the iPad, then place the iPad in the holder.
