Toyota 86/BRZ Data Mount
This data mount replaces the OEM driver's window defrost vent on the top of the dash. It is designed around the AIM Solo series of Data Collection/Lap Timer devices, but could work with other accessories. Using a standard 1" Ram Arm, it securely locates the Solo in a better position for the driver that still allows immediate access, but without obstructing your view.
Made from FDM printed PETG-CF material with a focus around creating a cost-effective part that is both strong and durable. However it also had to be UV-resistant while still having an attractive finish without requiring post-process finishing.
The mount stemmed from the suction cup mounts falling off and/or how it always seemed to block part of my view. Took a professionally scanned OEM part and remodeled it using additive DFM to bolster strength and durability on both clips, ball mount, and Z-Axis strength.
Offering a few different versions:
FDM printed - PETG-CF material (Similar to car interior plastic). Comes in Black. Finish is more textured and rougher than the other versions.
MJF printed - PA12 material is a nylon plastic. Comes in Black or Gray. Standard finish is evenly textured matte finish. The vapor smoothing smooths the surface out and gives it a patterned look. (pattern varies)
SLA printed - Tough 1500 material is a resin plastic. Comes in only Gray. Smoothest finish. Higher comparative cost is primarily due to the additional post-processing steps of cleaning and curing that the others do not go through.
