I wanted a solution for my Screen+Cougar MFD setup which I could easily remove and store without the need of additional clamps or screws aside what was already there from the Monstertech Joystick table mount.

This is how this table mount for 2 Thurstmaster MFD Cougar controllers + 11.6 inch LCD screen was born.

The screen/cougar assembly is one unit with a small USB hub on the back powering both MFD and the screen (yes I was surprised as well that one USB cable can power all that). The complete assembly then slides into 2 rails mounted to the Monstertech 40x80 alu profile for a secure and, most importantly, wobble-free fit. one USB cable and one HDMI cable plug later and I'm ready for take-off in DCS and MSFS2020 :-) To store, simply pull the screen upward, the mount will slide out of the rails and the only part left at the table is the montertech joystick mount with the small rail mounts on the side.

Suggest printing the parts at 50% infill and PETG for extra strength (also sands easier in case you want to paint your mount to give it an even better look and feel). No supports required. 2 Versions of the top cradle are included: one with a solid back brace and one with holes in it to allow you to run cable ties through it to secure the USB cables at the back.

Version History: 1.0 - Original Release (Sept 2020) 2.0 - Updated and more secure cradle (Oct 2020) 3.0 - Updated cradle with Vesa mounts located 9mm higher compared to the original release to suit new monitor versions (Screen Cradle_Top_v2_+9mm.STL)" (Feb 2025)
