Description

I recently got a VW UP and I really like the USB port mounted on the dashboard but I didn't get the original mobile phone holder accessory with the car. I think this will work with most UPs that have the USB port in the upper dash and also perhaps on the Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii. I designed this mount to hold a range of phone sizes, It uses a short length of 3 mm shock elastic cord to provide the spring fit mechanism.  The mount comes in 5 parts. I printed in PLA at 0.2 mm layer height , 0.4 mm nozzle. The 3mf files should be in the correct orientation for printing. the clamp the phone mount the outer base the inner base a wee cap for the usb port (optional) You will also need:  4 x M4 nuts; 4 x M4 approx 10mm machine screws; About 30cm or less of 3mm shock/elastic bungee/cord. Assemble and fit the phone mount. Assembly is simple and I hope intuitive - nothing should be over-tightened and nothing should damage or mark the car. Attach the outer base to the phone mount using two M4 Screws.  Keep the elastic long and trim after adjusting the length and tension. Thread through the clamp and phone mount and push the clamp into place, it was a nice smooth fit on my printer, but if it's too tight, very light sending of the corners should work. Tension, knot and trim the elastic. NB I turned on elephants foot correcting in PrusaSlicer and the fit of these parts improved massively. Push fit the into the assembled phone mount. Push fit the nuts into the inner base.  Insert the inner base into the car (remove and retain the plastic cover trim). The hooks face down and lock into the interface in the car. The nuts should be a tight enough fit that they don't drop out when putting this part in the car. A tiny drop of glue should help retain them in the printed part if you have a loose fit. Attach the assembled mount to the inner base with the remaining 2 M4 screws will secure the whole assembly in place. I really enjoyed working on this functional model and I
