  • Best fix solution to a broken IMAC mount

    This mount is easy to install, better than replacing the original mounts which require a lot of work. The one thing that would make this better...provide some velcro so the monitor will stay attached to the pivot part of the mount, perhaps a magnetic device would work as well. Good quality part!

  • Must have - if you must have it.

    The hinge design for the thin Apple iMac computers leaves a lot to be desired. Someone at Apple thought plastic washers under bolt heads that hold the hinge spring was a good idea. Well, it wasn't. When the plastic washers have had enough, they fail, and the spring no longer holds the display upright. What you have then, is a display that tilts forward. Options? Put a few books under the bottom of the display... but that may restrict airflow being sucked in from the bottom causing the internals to overheat. Or, take it apart, risk cracking the screen, and struggling with a kit sold on eBay (almost guaranteed to tear up your fingers) to replace the broken plastic washers with a steel plate. Or... this thing. The idea is absurdly simplistic. It's a brace that you slide on the stand, turn a locknut, and you're done. Out of sight, out of mind. Just remember to loosen the locknut if you need to adjust the angle of your screen, and then tighten (but not too tight) again.

  • Work flawlessly

    Great solution if you don't want to open up the computer. You set it and forget it. Adjusting is also easy if you need to every once in a while. Brought new life to my Mac. :) I recommend it if you have a broken hinge and need a cheap and easy fix.

  • Perfect fix

    This clever 3D printed contraption is a great fix for my Brocken iMac screen hinge. My hinge was completely broken, not just weak. I had an old camera in place to prop up the screen but it looks much cleaner with the new hinge support. Definitely worth the price.

  • Excellent fit. Fixed my issues.

    This is a well executed, low cost (yet very durable) alternative to paying a small fortune to Apple or having to disassemble and then fabricate replacement spring clips for your iMac your self. I'm glad I found this alternative - it is well worth the price.

  • A great solution for a broken hinge iMac

    Once the hinge goes on the 27" iMac, it's really tricky to keep the screen at a usable angle. I tried a few things, but to no avail. I thought 'someone must have come up with a solution for this' and I was right! The Machack adjustable bracket is a neat little item that simply does the job - at a sensible price.

  • Broken hinge fix!

    My beloved 27" late 2012 iMac suddenly suffered the dreaded screen sag while we weren't home and I immediately feared I'd be spending more into an old computer than I should when I found this little GEM. Well designed 3D printed part that arrived quickly and the print is very clean! It is VERY smug so required a little gentle coaxing but that's good because it will hold on as it needs to the stand to brace the screen up. Thank you for this brilliant solution to an INVASIVE and costly apple repair.

  • Splendid Simplicity

    This is a marvelous, affordable device that solves a major problem on an expensive computer. I'm just happy that Apple didn't design it, because it would be very costly. It was simple to install, and it works flawlessly.

  • What an amazing piece of kit

    What are the alternatives when your iMac screen drops well the answer is the Machack 10 second installation and looks the part or spend £200-£300 for a fix and your iMac to have open heart surgery I know what my choice would be and I took it thanks Machack 👍
