Yet another 3D-printed phone mount (installed, with pictures)

• While Snazzy’s clip worked very well for charging my iPhone 12 Pro, I didn’t like that I couldn’t see the whole phone screen and it was out of my field of view
• Others have printed a ball mount that uses the tray at the front of the charging platform but my gripe with that one is that the phone then interferes with the slide-out cup holders
• @RWerksman ball mount between the two screens is great but the steering wheel cuts into the view of the phone (which I think he acknowledged)

I built upon the design of @Snazzy Labs phone holder to make a ball mount that sits on top of the charging platform. I designed it to fix a few issues I had with the other solutions.

I printed in PETG as two separate pieces and glued together. Works well so far. I'll likely print another one at some point and sand/finish it so it appears as something other then a 3D-printed hack.

I’m using an official MagSafe charger and a mount from Amazon, “Adhesive Car Mount Compatible with Mag Safe Charger”, made by Kuaguozhe, sold by BestBlue. (not linking directly because I can never see the Amazon links others post)

I get up to 2.25a charging with MagSafe from the USB C ports in the console.

Files are up on Printables.

And yes, the base does look like a giant grand piano.

This is one of the better ones I have seen and would work for me. Can the base be flipped to the other side?

Did you need the expansion poach for a snug fit?
