How much would you pay for a Touch Wall Mount?

How much would you be willing to pay for a Touch Wall Mounting Bracket?

I think this could be a really good use for someone with a Makerbot
cupcake 3d printer. Assuming folk are willing to actually pay something
to make it worth building the CAD instructions from a real bracket. I
think there are a few in the wild....

While this is not completely fair (as I do HAVE one from the beta program) I'm currently pretty sure I would also pay for it if I had not since I'm bringing it to good use now. Given the price of the Touch and the effort it takes to create the hole in the wall for it I would not shy away from 50$.

Pippin, do you have any photos? I once thought I would wall mount my Touch, but then I got squeamish about putting a big hole in the wall, especially remembering that I do tend to move things around from time to time. But maybe seeing a nice installation would help me take the plunge.....

Not yet. The installation if not yet done. The bathroom I want to put it in needs a complete makeover so the wall (or door) I'm putting it in is not yet there.

I'll do photos when I'm done.

Hi Pat. Is there a meaning to 'Real Bracket'? Are you saying the one that was designed isn't how you would do it or it isn't the way to do it? Could you give us some more information or your thoughts on the OEM bracket?

I meant the few that were made and at least one Beta tester used.

I've never seen one, other than in a photo or two in the beta test days.
So I have no comment on the design or lack thereof of the Logitech
prototypes.

I am assuming, and this may not be true, that Logitech didn't release
the CAD that they used to create the prototype runs. Perhaps they did or
can be talked into releasing them, since they do not plan to market them
themselves.

With the CAD files, you can transform them into instructions to run a
Makerbot cupcake easily, and then crank out as many as you want, just
one at a time. See

I would be prepared to pay up to the $50 mark and have voted as such.
If anyone who has one, and was willing to follow pfarrell's idea, then you could mark me down for one. Anyone else?

I wouldn't pay more than £10, it's just a piece of plastic isn't it? What makes it worth $50!

..an battery pack for it so it can be used as a slightly larger than ideal remote and headphone player.

$24.95 woul dbe tops for a wall mount, unless it was a nice in-wall mount.
