Description
File to 3D print the mount is available and that worked well, but in spirit of the i3's construction we made a mold and made one out of forged carbon fiber. The carbon fiber process wasn't for the faint of heart, but we think it turned out really well!
If going the mold route, use 6x 9mm M6 and matching nuts to hold the two bottom pieces together. I coated all of the mold pieces very liberally with mold release spray (I used
Mann Release Technologies Ease Release 200).
I roughly followed the process described in Easy Composite's guide (you can skip past the part about creating the mold).

When filling the mold, I started with the bottom half, then added in the two 4 pieces that create the gap in the middle of the part, then filled the rest above before finally adding the "top" part of the mold and clamping down with two c clamps.

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.
