Chevy Volt (2nd Gen) Center Console RAM Mount Bracket

thingiverse

This is a center console 1" ball RAM style mount designed to fit in a 2nd. Gen Chevy Volt. I didn't like any of the commercially available mounting options out there and found this to fit my needs. I don't have any 3D modeling experience, In fact, this STL file is a combination of two separate STL files that I hacked together with PrusaSlicer. I welcome and encourage any improvements to this design.

There are cut-outs for a M3x12 screw & M3 hex nut, but really any screw and nut you had that would fit through the hole would work fine. Printing Recommendations: -I'd recommend printing in ABS or PET due to the potentially high-temperature requirements during the summer in your vehicle. -Consider a higher infill % in order to reinforce the ball and attachment point, especially if you plan on adding a significant amount of weight or other stress to the ball. Succesful printing with PETG, printed with a brim, and supports touching the build plate. (Supports are definitely needed under the ball).
