Fast Phone Docker -- Car Mount

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a mount for the Fast Phone Grip. It uses a ball-joint attached to a glove-box clip that attaches the inside a 2001 SLK glovebox. The piece that's specific to my car is meant to be replaceable, which means this can be used as a basis for other cars.
If you do customize it, please let me know, and I'll post a link to your thing on my main page
The nut on the ball-joint side snaps off (it's only attached by a few .4mm strands). This should be printed in ABS for use within a car (avoid PLA and PETG, as these warp/deform when exposed to heat). ABS will shrink in the heat but only around 2%, and that's acceptable for this part of the model. (It's not good for the gripper, which has much tighter tolerances for dimensions, but this piece is OK).
One key note on this, is that when placing the phone in or out of the gripper, there's no added torque to the mounting mechanism, which means that this does not in turn put any undue torque on whatever it attaches to. Thus this could be modified to attach to a car vent, without fear of breaking the plastic.
