3D Printing Question

[badsamaritan]

I have Holley Terminator EFI on my Chevelle and it has the normal 3.5" touch screen that also comes with the Sniper series of EFI. I really want to mount to my A-pillar using a Ram Ball setup. Question I have is, can this plastic housing be recreated with a ram ball on the back? If so does anyone have the time to try and run a prototype? I did some searching and couldn't find anything similar, and I think this would be useful to anyone out there with a Holley EFI product. The crappy amazon cellphone holders, just don't do a good job. I'm pretty sure I can get another one of these holders as a test piece.

Looks easy, very doable.

I will need what you have to model it.

Sounds good, I'm going to look and see if I can get another one, otherwise I will give my original.

Have you looked around on Thingiverse.com? Many a time when needing a item that I think I need to design I find someone else has already made it and all I need to do is download the STL file and print it.

didnt look there specifically, but did google, and check Ebay and found lots of options, but nothing for a ram ball

took a look, they had the same bolt on and steering column mount that I have seen elsewhere

What if you mounted a Ram ball mount to the back of the holder using some counter sunk screws? $9 on amazon.

I mount boafengs and tablets with a ram ball all the time

An easier way to mount your ham to a ram mount system with the 1" or B size. Works with the 8w and 5w version. New version includes an access to a charge cord if you would like to go battery less link below to the charger. Radio has stayed in place at Chasing Trucks at the Baja 1000, Mojave...

I would be happy to design a mount for you, just need to mail it up. Too bad I just saw Jeff at expo he could have transported

I looked into that and the plastic is very thin and I don't think countersinking screws would work.

Double sided tape or epoxy??
