Trak Racer TR-One Dash Fire 7 Tablet Holder

thingiverse

I recently upgraded my wheelbase and mount system so the old tablet holder would not work. I remixed this one that you can use for Trak Racer's TR-One mount system for wheelbases that mount from the from of the base (Simagic, Simucube, VRS, Accuforce, etc). You can see the mount here: https://trakracer.com/collections/accessories/products/tr-one-black-fully-adjustable-direct-fit-wheel-mount-for-simucube-vrs-accuforce-osw-mige-etc The picture on their website does not show but there are 2 M4 holes on the top which are meant to mount some sort of dash to it. I believe the M4 bolts I used were M4x16. This one was made with the Fire 7 Tablet from 2019 and 2017 in mind which is rather a cheap grab compared to other tablets. The new Fire 7 from 2022 had some design changes and it could work on this mount but it's not as long (181mm vs 192mm) so could slide a bit on the mount (maybe add something on one end to keep it from moving around). Depth size it's virtually the same at 9.6 on the 2019/2017 model vs. 9.67 on the 2022 model so it's negligeable. You can find the 2019/2017 models used online for a pretty good price. I added a small notch on the right side so you can have a Micro USB cable connected at all times (I use a right angle one). A nice advantage of this design is the fact that the Fire 7 wake/sleep/power button is below the charge port and instead of lifting the tablet to push the button to wake it/put it to sleep, you just push the tablet with your hands from the left side towards the right which pushes the button against the mount causing it to wake up/sleep. Use SimHub to pull your favorite dashes and you have yourself a 7" dash! Print it flat and use supports so both sides don't crumble down (I tried without supports and it kind of worked but came out a bit crooked..)
