Galaxy S5 holder for 2007 2WD ford expedition (Replaces coin holder on dash)

thingiverse

2WD expeditions from 2007 had a "coin holder" thingy on the dash near the steering wheel, where the 4WD switch would go on the 4WD version. I removed the coin holder from my dash and replaced it with a 3D-printed phone holder. This will likely fit other model year expeditions, but I've only tested it on a 2007. Note: I made the base in separate pieces to be glued together so that it will be stronger. Most parts seem to break along the boundary between layers, so I wanted to have the loading in the springy pieces to be "in plane" for the layers rather than separating them. The clips have several different orientations, so there was not a single position that would accomplish that goal, and the rest of the part made more sense to print in the orientation shown. Instructions The phone holder is built from 3 components, a mount base which fits the hole in the dash, little clips which allow the mount base to stay in place semi-permanently, and a phone holder on a stick which inserts into the mount base. I glued the clips to the mount base before installation, but the phone holder was a tight press fit to the mount base and did not require glue to stay. This might allow a simple upgrade in the future if I get a different phone or whatever. Note: I made the base in separate pieces to be glued together so that it will be stronger.
