Title: VESA mount for Rigol HDO4000 / DHO4000
Post by: jwise on April 27, 2024, 04:28:56 am
Hi all,

On the suggestion (?) of this forum, I got myself a DHO4404.  I find that I'm in a bit of a crunch for desk space, so over the past few days, I modeled together a VESA mount for the back of it that attaches where the battery pack that Rigol couldn't be fucked to sell us would have gone.

I've attached some photos.  If you're in the Bambu universe you can download it from MakerWorld here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/444674 (https://makerworld.com/en/models/444674)

Or if you're in the Prusa universe, from Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/858885-rigol-dho4000-hdo4000-vesa-mount (https://www.printables.com/model/858885-rigol-dho4000-hdo4000-vesa-mount)

Or if you want to mod it for yourself, here's the onshape link: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/bfa89435db8323d375fd32a1/w/511571cd0b08c31e0ffa8b79/e/48ab0b03f2c55600799ae151 (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/bfa89435db8323d375fd32a1/w/511571cd0b08c31e0ffa8b79/e/48ab0b03f2c55600799ae151)

I made it out of PETG and a bunch of M4 heat stake thread inserts.  Probably PETG is the right play because the tabs are relatively thin and you want as much layer adhesion as you can get around them.  But if you have an expensive 3D printer and an expensive scope, you can make a decision for yourself as to what kind of plastic you want holding your scope off your desk :-)

I have some other cheap-ass test equipment projects that I should get to writing up.  Some day...
