It seems that most of the drywall mounts that I looked for printed in a vertical orientation, which is not good for strength.
For once, I didn’t reverse engineer anything to design this. Lulz.

Update 8/10 - Added dimension sketches, Added .step file, Added a thinner support ring option that will sit more flush (but not completely)
Neat! How much do you figure it can hold up?
Not much. If you want to put heavy stuff up, you should use SnapToggles https://www.toggler-uk.com/snaptoggle/
Neat, good job. You might want to include what screw size it fits, and the word “anchor” somewhere in the description/title for searching (these are typically called drywall anchors in the US).
🤤
I bet these would also work in masonry
Neat! Won’t the thick rim make it sit a good bit proud of the wall though?
It can, yes. However, it is only by 3mm. The print orientation is the way it is so that it can survive a hammer and some love taps. (I already tested that, btw.) Additionally, I wanted some extra meat on it for easy removal later and it may be hidden, depending on your application.
In theory, you don’t need the support ring if the hole you drill in your drywall is a perfect fit. I have traditionally drilled my drywall holes a hair small for these kinds of mounts, so if you do that, not using the ring may work. Or not.
