Description
This radar bracket may also work with the Valentine V2 detector and may also work with the 718 Cayman, although the ability to move the passenger visor to the side will be lost. The mount may also be modified to work with other detectors.
There are three pieces to the assembly:
1) The main bracket. One end is tucked behind the headliner at the top of the windshield and the other is clamped under the new component on the visor clamp.
2) The new visor clamp replaces the OEM cover/visor clamp that holds the end of the sun visor.
3) A radar holder that fits into the slots on the V1 detector. The holder is attached to the main bracket by inserting the tabs and rotating the detector+bracket by 90 degrees.
Print the component from a temperature resistant filament. I prefer PC, but PET-G, PCTC, ABS or ASA should also work. Print the radar holder standing up and minimal supports will be required.
After printing, assembly is as follows:
1) Remove the OEM visor bracket by removing the thin cover plate and using a torx bit to remove the mounting screw.
2) Tuck the main bracket under the headliner with the tail end pulled toward the visor clamp.
3) Note that the new visor clamp replaces the top half of the OEM visor clamp. The bottom half of the OEM bracket inserts through the new clamp and together they grip the visor bar. The new visor piece should nestle inside the OEM part. Assembly requires that the capturing the visor bar and also getting the bracket end under the new visor clamp (see pictures). Use the screw to secure the main bracket and visor clamps. (Store the OEM piece and cover).
4) Slide the radar holder onto the V1 detector using the slots on the side of the detector, the insert the tabs into the main bracket and twist 90 degree to hold it into place.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
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.
