Vizio XVT553SV "clip in" phone/camera mount

thingiverse

I created this platform specifically for use with a car phone mount/holder, allowing my phone to be securely mounted on top of my TV for video conferences. This design slots perfectly into the venting slots in the top of my Vizio TV (XVT553SV), providing a snug interference fit that keeps it firmly in place. To ensure optimal performance, the top plate must be printed on an extremely smooth surface with excellent first-layer adhesion. Anything less may cause your car mount's suction cup to become loose over time. Required hardware includes: * Four M3x10 machine screws * Four M3 nuts * Four M3 washers or lock washers (optional) This design worked flawlessly for me, but after a week the suction cup started to peel away. To address this issue, I added a rubber band to reduce the moment and prevent the back side of the suction cup from detaching completely. If I were to recreate this design, I would definitely add a hook to the plate part to make it easier to attach a rubber band securely. Even with a well-printed top plate, adding a rubber band is a wise precaution to prevent your phone from falling.
