lost cleat mounting for Meural Canvas MC227

Need a replacement cleat for mounting Meural Canvas MC227 on the wall- was on the phone for over an hour and transferred 4 times without luck.  Anyone have any idea how to replace it so I can hang it on the wall?  The swivel doesn't seem to be something my version is capable of supporting according to the instructions and pictures.

 

Lost the powercord too.  Tried a 12v i had and the frame flickered, so trying to find one of those too.....that is what happens when you move...you end up loosing something!

 

thanks-

  • Did you ever procure a replacement wall cleat?  I also moved and lost my wall mounting cleat in the process and looking for a replacement.

    Replacement parts are not one of Netgear's strengths.  Most hardware stores carry French Cleat picture hangers for under $10.

    Spend a little more and get an aluminum cleat that can be cut with a hacksaw to match the size of the hole in the back of the Canvas

      CrimpOn​ THANK YOU!  I didn't realize cleats were essentially universal. Makes sense.  Again, Thank you.

    Another solution might be to put two screws in the wall and let them stick out enough for the Meural Canval to hang from them.

      I’ve decided to 3D model and print a replacement. It’s faster if I had an original cleat for measurements, but time isn’t a problem. The design is very straight forward.

       

      Once I’m successful I’ll post the file on a number of the free 3D design sites (e.g. thingaverse, printables, etc.) for everyone looking for a replacement.

       

      I will post here when I’m successful.

        Apologize for the delay. I completed the 3D printable cleat and posted the files on printables.com

         

        I realized during this design & printing process that I have the MC315 model. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

         

        Link to the files: https://www.printables.com/model/1794056-netgear-meural-mc315-mounting-cleat

         

        Hopefully it will be helpful to others.

    Love that you're posting it to a free 3d site. The amount of times I've popped on a site to print something simple (rc car part), its usually a have to pay for and by then, its cheaper to just order it from amazon by the time you figure paying the print, material cost, and the time or 3 you mess it up. :) 

    Please post it back on here as I imagine this will be the first post that pops up if people search this topic.
