Not every monitor setup is the same. We realized this and made sure that with some simple steps, you can adjust the Moody sizes to your needs! We designed it to be modular.

We provided three solutions, explained in detail in this chapter:

  1. If you want your Moody to fit your monitor/tv perfectly, you can use Onshape (for free and easy to make account) to modify the Moody design. No worries... we made it parametric, meaning you just have to input two measurements in a table: your monitor size and height from the ground
  2. If you do not wish to create a Onshape account, we also have a solution for you! We made the lamp modular and provided different segment sizes so you can create a stackup that fits your monitor setup.
  3. Feel free to download our CAD files from our Patreon and modify it there.

Remark: The lower limit of the design heights are: lightbox 225mm and pole 120mm. For sizes below, the parametric design is not stable. The upper limit for the pole size is 750mm, for sizes bigger, the Moody will tip over.

Parametric Design Onshape

You can find our model in Onshape, we made it available to the public: Link here

We made the entire model parametric. All the segments, screw connections, mating surfaces nicely adjust different height inputs that you can tweak.

Open the Onshape Studio and activate on the right side the 'variable table' button. Now, you will see a table with variables. The first three are the only ones of interest.

  • The first parameter 'Screen_height' indicates the height of your monitor
  • Parameter two indicates how high your screen is removed from the floor. This value you can get from measuring the bottom edge of your screen to the ground (or the surface you the furniture you want to place your Moody on)
  • Parameter three 'printbed_size' is the maximum size of your printbed. This value is needed, since it is used to segmentize the Moody in parts that fit your printer

Remark: The parametric design is stable for all sizes up to Screen_Height 225mm and Height_to_floor 120mm. This is the lower limit. All sizes bigger and equal to that are possible! For pole sizes bigger than 750mm, you will have to enlarge the foot, otherwise it will tip over.

Important remark: How to export files for printing. Most of the parts, you can export as STL like usual. However, if you have an AMS or other mechanism for molticolor FDM printing, you should export the lightbox segment as 3MF files. Each color is a different part, so you should select multiple parts per segment and export together in one file as you can see below:

Modular print files

We highly recommend you use Onshape to create your custom Moody size, however, we also provided some STEP files of different size and shapes of Moody that you can download from our Hypno Patreon. The files are on the folder 'Moody Different size Steps'.

You can achieve the correct height in following ways:

  • Is the correct total pole size and total lightbox size present, but not in the same files. No worries, print the pole parts from one file and the lightbox parts from another and connect them. The design is modular, all parts fit on eachother, no matter their heigt.
  • Is the correct pole or lightbox size not in their? You can select different segments from different files to stack up to desired heights. Everything is modular, so feel free to puzzle around untill you have a size that works for you!

The names of the STEP files are as follow: Moody Hxxxxx Fxxxxx. With Hxxxxx indicating a value (in mm) of the height of lightbox and Fxxxx indicating the height of the pole.

What you can also do is reach out to the discord community to ask if someone can create the custom Moody for you.
