This reminds me of a portable dual monitor setup that I tried to build. I used PVC pipe fittings and USB monitors.

The most difficult part for me was getting the screw holes lined up for VESA mount. I didn't have access to a 3D printer, so I was just cutting wood panel and drilling holes by hand.

Also PVC was too unwieldy. Making the necessary hinge joints was hard because of how much space the pipe took up.

Hmm, now I want to revisit my design. If only I had more time.

Also, I now have access to 3D printers, laser cutters, and a CNC machine at the STEM lab of my local public library. It's actually a shame how underutilized this place is. I was there during open hours, and no one was using any equipment except for the 3D printer. There is also a recording studio.

I made a wood plate VESA adapter recently. I used a paper template for the hole spaceing, and a nail to mark the holes so the drill bit didn't lose centering when starting the holes. To make the template, I taped a piece of paper over the VESA plate and rubbed the side of a pencil lightly over paper on top of the holes. Leaves nice circular marks where the holes are.

Use a blind hole transfer punch. You can make your own with the right sized bolt and a grinder.
