Kia Soul cellphone holder clamp

thingiverse

I own a 2018 Kia Soul, which has no decent place to mount a cellphone holder. I designed this clamp to attach to the speaker riser near the 'A' pillar. This allows me to attach an off-the-shelf cellphone holder that utilizes a ball & socket type of pivoting mechanism. The holder I got uses a 17mm ball. If your holder uses a different sized ball, it should be simple to model up a suitable sphere with an 8mm x 8mm socket in it. I'm providing this clamp with a 'standard' or a 'tight' fitment option. The standard fit slides on and off pretty easy while providing a suitable grip. The tight option would take more force to install, but would stay put better. I printed this with 50% infill, and it seems quite strong. As I printed this in ABS, I used acetone to attach the ball to the main body. Superglue would likely also work.
