    I cant confirm if the spacing exactly matches the Spectra as I don't have files on me right now, but it does have four corner screws in pretty much the same position, the only difference being that there are adhesive rubber feet applied over the screw recesses. These can be pulled off and super glued back on, so you could potentially do that and then design the bracket to have four little rubber spikes which match up to the screws recesses on the Twister. That is pretty much how the metal F1/X1/Z1 stands work.

    That's what I needed to know. Thanks!

    It doesn't matter for a "one off" plate if the screws are in the exact same spot as the other MFs. If screw location is slightly different on the twister, it might cause a slight problem for producing a universal MF mounting plate though.

    Are the feet on the 3D done the same way as you described on the Twister?
    If so, the rubber spikes could work great for easy removal/replacing a 3D on the plate.

    Anyway thanks again for the info.

    What about making brackets / rising feet under the plate, so you could position it over most 15" laptops/MacBook Pros? That way you would always have space for your setup providing you would have a place where to stash your laptop/MacBook.

    Another good idea! I might be able to use aluminum "C" channel for easy brackets. I'll look into it.

    Edit: Yep "C" channel would be the way to go, but the only problem I see with that is the MFs will be covering your keyboard and part of the screen.

    @Vangogo

    Just to confirm - they are in the same location ~.5 mm

    Thanks for checking on that Midifidler! That is good news for a universal plate design.

    Are the feet on the 3D mounted like the ones on the Twister?

    The 3D has silicon feet over the screw holes but the screw holes are a little closer together than the Twister/Spectra

    Twister/Spectra = 128 mm square

    3D = 126 mm square

    Not having a 3D I would have thought larger spacing not smaller because of the bank buttons. Thanks!

    Are there screw recesses under the feet of the 3D like the Twister? (Checking to see if the rubber spike idea would work for the 3D.)

    Yup the screws are recessed on the 3D

    Thanks, and that last part is basically the idea.
