iPad holder for DJI Mavic

thingiverse

Like so many others, I am anxiously awaiting my pre-ordered DJI Mavic drone. Even though I haven't yet held it in my hands I can already tell that I am going to miss my iPad mini. I have seen similar holders already out there and anticipate that there will be some much better and well designed ones in the future but out of the gate I threw together one that leverages the clamp on device holder for a Phantom 2 on a iPhone size mounting plate to fit in the Mavic controller. When I get my new toy, I am hoping this will hold me over while I experiment with a more refined version. Example of the Phantom 2 device holder used:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014NGKNIA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 NOTE: I do NOT have the Mavic yet and the measurements are based solely on the available specification. I am unable to test it but will provide an update as soon as my Mavic arrives. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: Normal - Standard High Infill: Normal - Standard High Notes: I didn't use rafts and got a slight lift on one corner but overall not too bad. I would recommend a raft if you have weak first layer adhesion issues with larger prints. The cross bracing and holes reduce the amount of filament used but maintain the rigidity. You may want to bump up the shells and infill for a little more rigidity but mine appears plenty strong for the weight of a iPad mini 2. How I Designed This Solidworks 2014 This software is pricey but I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to develop 3D models. Everything I have posted on my account was designed in Solidworks with ZERO training and only minimal guidance from YouTube "experts" and built in tutorials.
