Description

Replaces the golf ball holder on an Evolution D5 4 Maverick Golf Cart with a 2 slot phone holder. There is a hole for a separate screw in mount for a typical garage door opener--or other attachment. The depth and the angle of the slots allow for viewing of the top half of the phone while being at an odd angle for bumps. So far, haven't noticed any significant movement of the phones underway. My Pixel 9 Pro and wife's iPhone 16 Pro Max are both in cases and fit easily in the slots.

I printed the holder using SUNLU Black PETG on a BambuLabs X1C.

***Disclaimer: I am rudimentary in my Fusion 360 skills. The .F3D file is NOT pretty!

Thank you for this model. Your Fusion skills may be "rudimentary" but they are far better than mine. I was able to delete the hole for the garage door opener. Since I don't want the garage door opener mount, it occurs to me that this model would be better if you added another single compartment above the phone compartments. Same width and depth as the 2 phone holders (but a single compartment). And if possible, moving the phone slots towards the back of the cart so as to make the new single slot as big as possible towards the front of the cart. Having 3 slots in that area would maximize that very valuable storage area. I would make this modification myself if my Fusion skills were better. Thanks, again.

Thanks for the comment and ideas. If I need to reprint/redesign the part, I would consider your ideas. A couple of potential issues come to mind. I like the idea of printing the garage door opener hole as a 'blank' that can be drilled. However my skills haven't shown me how to add 'edges' inside a fill volume. You wouldn't get the solid PETG along the edges of the hole as you would with printing the hole. I could create a screw in blank so if you didn't want the garage door opener holder, it wouldn't be a hole. The other thought about the extra slot would be limited to how much room is underneath. If I recall, I was bumping against something on the right hand side, so couldn't make it much deeper. That and the fact the slots are angled towards the rear, I'm not sure if there is room to move the slot much further rearward.

Thank you. I have just published a ReMix of your excellent model that is along the lines I was suggesting.

Seems great up to a point. 3 prints and not one finished the bottom completely. supports kept falling apart.

Are you using Bambu Studio? Is the problem the support doesn't stick to the plate? I've printed the model using both Normal (1 time) and Tree supports (2 times) and haven't had any issues. If the tree support is the problem, try changing to normal. Normal will provide more plate area adhesion. You could also make sure you have a clean plate and add a little glue stick where the supports would be. Good luck!

Replying to @Big_Duke31 :

Yes. No, the problem is that the supports start out fine but at about 80% of the print they fall over or otherwise fail in some way. I'll try normal, thanks!

I did go in and make the snap clips a little stronger and added 3mm to the end towards the golf cart. Also add some material to the connection point where the slots met the face. It is printing as we speak so I am hoping nothing interferes with the opening. The model looks very nice. Although it is not for me I am boosting this part for sure.

@Big_Duke31

Thanks for the boost! Making the clips a little beefier is a good call. I haven't had any failure yet, but given the direction of the print and the vibration with the cart, that's probably the failure point.
