Audi B9 A5 S5 Aftermarket Grille Camera Mount Remix 1

thingiverse

This is a 3D-printable front camera mount for an Audi A5/S5 (B9 chassis) designed specifically for the RS-style grille sold by "German Car Accessories" in 2020. This design builds upon the work of s5ecific from audiworld.com, incorporating key changes to enhance functionality and aesthetics: - The angle is adjusted downward to match the original camera position on Audi vehicles (20 degrees instead of 15). - The camera is relocated forward and down to ensure a clear 180-degree view while navigating grille elements. - This model is optimized for 3D printing, with detailed notes available in the printing section. Key Features: - Uses original Audi screws for mounting, eliminating the need for additional hardware. - Installation can be done without screws or Sugru, but the Sugru method is still highly recommended. - An open bottom design allows for easy fitment and moisture drainage. - The size of the bottom has been reduced to minimize visibility from the grille. - Larger screw holes have been added for improved compatibility. - A base bumper has been integrated at the bottom of the model to rest against the crash bar. Printing/Installation Instructions: - One horizontal member under the Audi logo must be removed before installation. - The model is designed to be 3D printed face down (camera pointing towards the ground) for optimal surface finish, reduced support material, and easier removal from the build plate. - For a seamless installation experience, we recommend using the Sugru method described on audiworld.com. - Original Audi mount screws should be used to secure the camera in place. - When installing the camera, ensure it is snugly fitted with the lens frame extending about half a millimeter (as seen in photos). - The mount base will rest against the vehicle's crash bar. - This design allows for easy installation and removal without requiring bumper removal, although a tight fit may necessitate stretching the grille forward.
