The Last Headrest Car Mount Tablet Holder Fix

thingiverse

This isn't a complete item, this is a fix for a popular Tablet Holder from Amazon that has a really weak clip that breaks on first install especially on new SUV cars like mine that have a thicker bar for the headrest. Other than the clip, the holder is really good. Once this 3D print is paired with this clip, it becomes super sturdy and doesn't shake. Print two clips and two bolts in place no support needed. On my first try installing this in my car, the clip broke, then I noticed it happens to many on Amazon. So I design a new beefy clip to hold this in place and made it to hug the headrest bar to minimize shaking and wobbling. I used the screw from Thingyverse item 1460364 however it isn't related to bolt design so I don't consider this a "remix" per say but wanted to shout out to the designer. I added ready made patterns from Tinkercad for the sides and it does a great job in hiding the wall imperfections. I wasn't expecting that good of a result especially with my new high speed printer the walls dont look exactly as perfect as the slow Ender 3 Pro. For the top I used Thingyverse item 1975017 to create a pattern which turned out pretty bad when printed so when I have time I have to get rid of it. The filament is a basic PLA black. Not very good. I recommend using ABS or ASA. Apparently PLA wont work well in the sun and weather. Will see. So far its holding very steady. I dont have the space or ventilation to use ASA yet. I never liked any prints from this 100% black PLA but its a good color to blend in with the car and not stand out. Tablet iPad Holder for Car Mount Headrest I bought (that breaks super easy): https://amzn.to/471mw10Printer Used is an Ender 3 V3 KE and printed at 15% infill and 300mm speed.https://amzn.to/47Yu8TmThis uses the bolt from Thingyverse item 1460364 but cant be considered a remix since the bolt can be any bolt and it was just copied in without modification.
