Description

I wanted a vent mount for my Phone holder that doesn't wiggle around so much. So I designed one that perfectly fits the vent slots in my car.
I have a '97 Volkswagen Polo 6N1.

The mount has a hole in the centre for a screw. In that way you can connect anything to the mount you want. I used a combination of two Car Phone Holders.

-> This is the main phone holder (https://www.amazon.de/UGREEN-Autohalterung-Handyhalterung-L%C3%BCftungsschlitz-kompatibel/dp/B07F3X8PXZ?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=ugreen+handyhalterung+auto&qid=1622820709&sr=8-4&linkCode=sl1&tag=meinerasenkante-21&linkId=ee788a41ca7b2800dd4406a612375bce&language=de_DE&ref_=as_li_ss_tl), since it had no ball joint, I combined it with an older mount which had a ball joint on it. I would recommend you try out these ball joints created by DieZopfe (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4739696).

After printing you can just clip it between the vent slots.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
