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)

    Thanks for comment!

    I tried a few anchors that were already out there all of them broke at the layer lines easily with PLA. Granted PETG would probably have mitigated that issue, but I didn’t want to change filaments.

    The toggle anchor would be fun to design, but designing a hinge that would work universally across many printers and filaments would be a challenge, for sure. Cheers!
