I bought a 2016 F150 last month and wanted a really clean way to mount my iPhone on top of the dash and still get wired Carplay without dangling wires. I designed this, 3D printed it and it's been working really well. I know there are other ways to mount these but I wanted something that included USB extension cables right in to an enclosure, as cleanly as possible.

I'm hoping to sanity check this design amongst other 2015-2020 F150 owners and get any feedback. Is this something others might want or is it not that useful? I designed it to accommodate up to three ball mounts.

Thank you!

Nice! Like how the USB is routed.

I'd definitely categorize it as useful and desired.

Very nice.

cbbennin

definitely like. what would your price point be if you sold them?

Well, the Builtright industries one is aluminum and $49, so hopefully not much more than that.

OP, that looks pretty neat! Any plans to post or sell the STL?

Pretty slick idea! Very smart with getting USB up there.

I agree, if someone had this for sale when I started designing it, if it was $50 I'd pay that for sure because it would have saved me a bunch of time. I asked my brother what he would pay and he also said $50. My little brother has a 2018, so I'm going to make a couple tweaks to the design, ship him one and have him install it and give me some feedback on the design. If I were to sell the STL, what would be a fair price. What would be a fair price for just the printed part and what would be a fair price for the part+2 USB extension cables+RAM ball mounts included. You can of course just buy those off Amazon yourself but some people just like to get everything together without the fuss. Thanks guys!

Thank you! I love a really clean install. Of course newer vehicles have wireless carplay/android auto but I'm not getting a new F150 anytime soon!
