Camaro F-body phone holder for cassette tape slot

thingiverse

I like the original design of the phone clip but needed a clean way to mount it in my 1995 Camaro. My car came equipped with a useless cassette tape holder, so I thought this was the perfect location to mount my phone low beneath the radio, out of the way of the shifter, and make use of the cassette tape slots. The base part slides into one of the cassette tape slots and it fits snugly on my right side. It should slide all the way back without any issues. The "front" side of the base is angled towards me as I drive. It has two mounting holes that are 38mm C.D. apart, which can be used for whatever phone clip you have or modify another design to mate with this base. Included in the files are the base, a remixed clip that I modified for my iPhone 6 without case, and the original sized clip, apparently designed for an iPhone with a thin case. Note that I haven't printed or tested the fit of the larger clip version, so double check the phone opening size to ensure it matches your phone case. The parts can be assembled using two #6 x 3/4" flat head wood screws, or similar metric screws. Slightly longer or shorter screws would work fine too. I added some extra depth to the holes and they threaded in perfectly without needing any adjustments. I was surprised that no one had uploaded a similar F-body phone mount in the same manner as my design, so here it is for you. It took me a few test prints before I got the base part right, increasing its depth by 5mm from my final test print to allow for easier sliding in and out. PRINTING: I recommend printing the base vertically, with the widest sides having a taper like the cassette tape slots on my Camaro. Place it rightside up so the cove cut is at the top of the print. The large circle cut-through in the base saved me about 25% of filament and made removal from the cassette tape slot easier. It still prints fine without support, although the clips need some for better results. Cura added support to the bottom phone support tabs with a 75% overhang setting, which worked well. If you make use of this print, please upload a picture of your creation. I'd love to see how it turns out! Suggestions are welcome and I'm happy to make any changes as needed.
