You can yell at me all you want! If you need a hug, I can get you one of those as well, no charge.
I am using some of the mounts now for some pictures, but I can say they are extremely stout, at least the way I printed them. You have to use a hammer to tap them in the last little bit so it doesn't spin. They survived some fairly hard love taps, and once the screw was in, they aren't moving.
Your personal experience may be different.
I don't say no to hugs.
That retainer ring looks pretty stout. Do you somehow counter-sink that to get it flush or just let that hang out?
They sit 3mm proud. This is not an issue if they are hidden, me thinks. However, you should be able to not use the support ring if it is an issue. (I'll modify a design today in attempt to reduce the amount it sticks out.)
Also, these are intended to be extremely secure and almost permanent. If you want it flush, you can probably pound it in a little more with a hammer. If not, leave it proud and it gives you a little meat to pull it out of the wall later.
Cool. Appreciate the effort!
I added another version today that has a 2mm ring without the chamfer, btw.
