Customizing the plates and arms

Plates

  • Clamp the baby wall plate.
  • Pick a location for the additional hole.
  • For example, for the small Optoma projector and Avanger baby wall plates offset from the center of the plate by approx. 2.5 cm (1 inch).
  • Use a hammer and center punch to make an indentation in the plate where the hole will be.
  • Drill the hole through the plate at low torque.
  • Use a grinder or file to remove metal burrs caused by drilling.

Arms

  • If the arm is too long, use a saw to cut off the unneeded length.
  • Use a grinder to chamfer the cut edge and remove metal burrs caused by sawing.
  • When you are using the arm, put a rubber cover over the cut end of the arm or, if the arm does not have a grip attached, use this end to mount other things to hide this.
