IPad Mini 4/5 Case with Ram mount style slide in adapter

thingiverse

This is an iPad mini case with a slide in RAM mount type 1" ball adapter. I developed it for my airplane as I felt the existing grip adapter was too large and bulky. This one is streamlined, compact and holds the iPad very solidly. I developed it for my iPad 4 but I believe an iPad 5 will fit as well. The case and ball are meant to be printed of TPU or another flexible material, while the insert should be printed out of something stiff like PLA or PETG. I printed this very slowly on an Ender 3 with a Bowden tube. Open side of the case down so that the back side came out a little nicer. Support density has to be pretty high for TPU and it doesn't break off as clean as other materials do, but that's ok if it's behind the iPad where you can't see it. Might have come out a bit nicer with direct drive. But I'm extremely happy with the utility of it.
