Description
The GPS was still getting hot, so I opened the sides and top up to increase ventilation and added relief holes that are slanted in a way that allows airflow while still preventing direct sunlight. I printed in ASA/ABS.
Update 1:
Added sides to aid in shielding back of the GPS from the sun, as well as added a cable bracket to prevent the cable from snaking underneath the GPS. Also replaced many Fillets with Chamfers to enhance structural strength, and several other minor tweaks. Will need to drill the mount holes out with a 3/16" drill bit.
Original Post
This GPS holder mounts to the dash just above the Infotainment screen. I designed it because my standard GPS holder wasn't cutting it. Where I live, my GPS keeps overheating from the sun. This GPS holder should not need any additional screws or hardware. Just remove the rubber platform, remove the screws, and mount this holder with the same screws. This version is smaller than the one I am testing, but should work with a GPS unit that is 80mm tall.
If you have a recommended improvement to increase compatibility or durability, let me know. You can also play with the included f3d file.

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.
