Garmin Echomap 9x series Safety Bracket And Sun Visor

thingiverse

This project started when my son - an avid fisherman - lost his brand new ECHOMAP UHD 92sv in a lake on the very first day of using it. The unit slipped out of the cradle and into deep water. He googled the issue, and found out that he's one of many not-so-lucky fishermen, so maybe this design will help others.There are 4 parts required for safety, and 2 more if you choose to print a sun shade/visor. Corner brackets and mounts (one set for the right side and another for the left) are printed separately and joined by M3 nuts/bolts (I used short bolts that came from old PCs). The visor also has right and left parts that have a small overlap and are joined at the back. Each visor half is printed as one piece (top and side), joined by a print-in-place hinge, curtesy of gzumwalt's elegant design:https://www.instructables.com/Parametric-Print-in-Place-Hinge/Overall, you will need 10 M3 nuts and 10 bolts.I used 4 magnets to keep the sides from flopping around. Magnets are 3/8" (about 9.4mm) in diameter, 7/64" (about 2.6mm) thick - sorry, it's whatever I had on hand. All parts were printed with 80% infill, brackets in Dremel ABS and the rest in Duramic PLA+. PLA won't last outdoors so the intent is to reprint everything in ASA once my son tries it out and once no more tweaking of the model is required.Please re-orient the parts as needed: brackets should be printed with the front (sloped) part up so that supported areas aren't visible once assembled. Mounts should be laid out flat and require no supports, same goes for the shade.
