Nexus 5 Holder Mercedes W211

thingiverse

A Google Nexus 5 horizontal holder to slot into the center vent of a Mercedes E-Class W211. It is made to have the USB port and speakers on the right (steering wheel on the right where I live). The actual vent mount can probably be used for any kind of gadget, the mounting surface is 14x95mm and the holes are 2.9mm 75mm apart to suit M3 bolts. FYI: Lineage OS allows for a horizontal/landscape unlock screen. Just to add some more info in case ppl want to make a similar mount for the W211, the dimensions are mostly visible in the screen shot of Fusion 360 without anu champfer etc. The very bottom part is 4mm extruded, that's not W211 specific, thats only to hold the actual phone specific holder, the bigger plane is extruded 6mm, that fits my trim (Avangarde). I have not seen different vents but who knows what AMG has done etc...... The notch that hooks behind the bottom vane of the vent is 9mm high. To remove the holder you will need a flat screw driver or spudger or the like to bend the vane open a bit. I had my quick and dirty print in the car for a few days and its fine. I might add some adhesive felt or something to prevent any rattle on bad roads (which we have plenty of here). In the pictures is a quick and dirty print in ABS. PLA is obviously not recommended due to temperature in cars during summer months.
