🧭 MOUNTING THE GARMIN XT2:

• The Garmin XT2 clicks into the official Garmin locking cradle, which attaches to this mount.
• Cables can be routed underneath the mount – use zip ties for neat and secure cable management.

✅ TIPS:

• Epoxy creates a strong permanent bond – align parts carefully before curing.
• Metal pins add rigidity and vibration resistance.
• PA6-CF is heat, UV, and moisture resistant – ideal for outdoor motorbike use.
• 25% infill is sufficient for strength while keeping the print lightweight.
