Garmin eTrex C/Cx/HCx series GPS Hinged Dashboard Mount

thingiverse

This hinged dashboard mount is compatible with the Garmin eTrex C/Cx/HCx Vista/Legend series of handheld GPS devices, such as eTrex Vista HCx and eTrex Legend HCx. It is fixed to the dashboard with 3 self-tapping screws. The height of the hinge is parametrized in the SCAD file to allow fitting the mount to the desired opening angle and the space available on the dashboard. STL files of the base plate for hinge heights of 0mm, 5mm and 10mm are provided. An M3x35mm bolt, an M3 nylock screw nut and 4 washers are needed for the axis of the hinge. The baseplate is mounted to the dashboard by means of 3 self-tapping screws. Given that the clip part needs to have some flexibility, ABS is probably the best choice for printing.
