If you’re looking to mount your own gadgets on your desk, this plate is a simple, reliable solution. I designed it around the standard NEMA 17 layout—31 mm center-to-center between holes—so it works with a wide range of brackets and hardware. I use it to hang my robots and prototypes during the design and testing phases, and it’s proven sturdy and flexible.
