Setup Guide — Step 2

Pick your mounting solution.

Using a virtual display? You can skip this page — virtual displays don’t need mounting. This page covers physical TRMNL hardware only.

No drilling required for most options. Whether you want a permanent install, a no-fuss magnetic fix, or a custom 3D-printed bracket — there’s a solution for every office and every wall.

🔩

Official TRMNL Mount

Recommended

The official wall mount designed specifically for TRMNL. The U-Mount screws directly to the wall with a 20mm standoff — the display snaps in cleanly for a permanent, professional installation. Zero wobble, purpose-built.

Best for: Permanent office installs, shared meeting rooms, clean aesthetic

🧲

No-drill magnetic mount

No tools needed

Stick a metal plate or magnetic strip to the wall with adhesive backing. The TRMNL snaps on magnetically. Takes 2 minutes, leaves no marks, and can be repositioned. Two tried-and-tested options on Amazon:

Best for: Rented offices, glass partitions, quick pilots, temporary setups

🖨️

3D printable mounts

DIYFree designs

The TRMNL community has published dozens of free mount designs — wall mounts, fridge mounts, IKEA Skadis brackets, magnetic backplates, and more. Download an STL file, print it, and you're done. The official TRMNL GitHub repo is the best starting point.

Best for: Teams with a 3D printer, custom setups, IKEA Skadis offices
