Camaro F-body phone holder for cassette tape slot

thingiverse

I like the original design of the phone clip but needed a clean way to mount to my 1995 Camaro. Since my car was equipped with a useless cassette tape holder, I thought this was the perfect location to mount my phone low beneath the radio, out of the way of the shifter, and make use of the cassette tape slots. The base part slides into one of the cassette tape slots. I have it in my car all the way to the right. Its a snug fit and should slide all the way back. The "front" side of the base is angled towards the driver. It has two mounting holes that are 38mm C.D. apart that can be used for whatever phone clip you have, or modify another design to mate to this base. Included are files for the base, the remixed clip that I modified for my iphone 6 without case, and the clip as it was originally sized, apparently for an iphone with a thin case. Note: I have never printed or tested the fit of the larger clip version. I am including it as a bonus. Double check the phone opening size to see that it matches your phone case. The parts can be assembled with two #6 x 3/4" flat head wood screws, or similar metric. Slightly longer or shorter would be fine. Added some extra depth to the holes. I did not need to drill the holes out any. The screws threaded in just right. I was surprised that no one has uploaded a similar F-body phone mount in the same manner I designed... so here you go. It took me a couple go-arounds with some test prints before I got the base part the right size and depth. The final design I submitted was increased in depth by 5mm from my final test print so the phone protruded slightly farther out from the radio so I could more easily slide it in and out. I haven't run a test fit of this improvement yet but I don't see any potential problems. PRINTING: I suggest printing the base oriented vertically. The widest sides have a taper, as do the cassette tape slots in the Camaro. Put the part rightside up so the cove cut is at the top of the print. The large circle cut-through in the base shortened the printing time down by about 25% and saved some filament. Turns out it makes it a little easier to remove the part from the cassette tape slot anyway. Still prints fine without support. The clips need support, although Cura only added support (with 75% overhang setting) at the bottom phone support tabs. Hardly any and it came off easily. If you make use of this print, please upload a picture of your make. I would love to see it! Suggestions are welcome and I would be happy to make any changes.
