thingiverse

I got tired of storing all my activity gadgets in a box. I had this idea of a charge station and made mounts to accommodate most of my items. This thing includes the following: - Female mount for Garmin Computer/Varia Rear Light - Male mount for Garmin Varia U800 Front Light - Mount for FENIX 3 Charger (https://www.amazon.ca/TUSITA-Charger-Garmin-Sapphire-Smartwatch/dp/B017SDY9BM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541704266&sr=8-3&keywords=garmin+fenix+3+charger) - iPOD nano mount allowing charge cable mounting. - Petzl CORE battery holder, and Petzl Light Hanger - Generic Helmet Hanger, but designed to hold the Coros Helmet. - Grommet for 1/2" Hole in 3/4" MDF/Wood SUPPORTS: - Required PRINTER USED: - Monoprice Select Mini V2 MATERIAL USED: - PLA ASSEMBLY: I used 3/4" MDF, I had a scrap piece of white and some grey trim that I ironed on the sides. I found some small screws from the local hardware store that fit perfectly, you may need to either resize the holes or drill them out a bit. I did a test layout that I liked, then drilled pilot holes for the screws, and then drilled the 1/2 holes for the grommets. Power: I used an 8 port USB charger found in many varieties on Amazon, Ebay and local Electronics stores. This is the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-8-Ports-Desktop-Charging-Technology/dp/B01HI0E8BQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1522286024&sr=8-4&keywords=8port+usb+charger&dpID=51u3DfH3UML&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch For my purpose I used the stock iPOD cable from apple as I had a few around, and had a few micro USB cables that I ran through the holes and then put the grommet over and tapped the grommet in. The charger was simply 3M Taped to the back of the board, and I made standoffs for the board out of 2" wooden dowel. While I would have liked to 3d print some, I had a dowel handy and cut it down to 1 1/4", hot glued one to each corner and drilled a hole through the centre so I could put a screw through to mount in the wall, I also had some 4" screws. The results turned out well, enjoy and use the mounts you need and/or make the same project, add on to it. Get Outside, Ride, Run, Adventure!
