VESA Mount for the Rigol MSO5000 series Oscilloscope (Sharing my design)

I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum section to share this in, so forgive me if I got it wrong and let me know where to post this.

I want to share my design of a VESA mount for the Rigol MSO5000.

I worked really hard on this and after countless prototypes, I'm very happy with the end-result. The mount is low-profile, tool-less, and very sturdy. Should be easy to print with no supports required (only 45-degree overhangs). I've had no problems with it at all in the 2 months I've had it set-up. I hope some of you find it useful.

Seem to be having some trouble with attachments. Let me try in this post.

what about cooling?

There is about a 7mm (1/4 inch) gap between the mount and the back of the case and open on the sides and top. The right-side (left-side if viewing from the rear) is where the fan is, and that side has more of the vents completely un-obstructed. I haven't noticed the scope getting any warmer than when it was sitting on my desk. I was planning on iteratively cutting out holes/shapes in the design for ventilation while testing for strength, but this seems to work fine so I didn't feel like making more iterations and creating more filament waste.
