Comment on How to search for 3m command hook-hooks on an STIL website?

Speaking for myself, I usual just command strip the thing I want to hang to the wall. After all, whatever you print to attach to the dry erase board will likely need to be attached to the board. Why not just attach straight to the wall? You could also potentially print something that mechanically attaches to the dry erase board and attached to the wall via command strip.
You probably want to look for “command strip” and will have to dig through the results. Here’s thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/tag:3m_command_strips It looks like most of the results are what I described: “here’s a mount for this specific thing that attaches to a wall via command strip”, but if what you’re describing exists it will be in those results.

Pretty much do the same thing, I leave the pull tabs visible to make it easier to pull down later but it’s definitely the best option IMO, the block option is a good one too if you really care about hiding those. Found this one printables.com/…/330707-simple-dry-erase-board-mo… on printables that’s more of a hook type mount, but yeah, something in that could work too.

I assume 3M makes those inserts for their hooks because it’s difficult to mass-produce cheap hollow objects with a firm flat back.
We don’t have that problem.
I have stuck all manner of things to the wall with command strips — power strips, 3D-printed hooks, boxes… whatever has a flat back works fine.
