Description

Boost Me (for free)

Like keeping your cowboy hat lucky and looking sharp? Boost this design to help more folks protect their hats the right way—and keep me designing more functional prints for the community.

Give your cowboy hat the respect it deserves—both for style and for luck. In cowboy tradition, placing your hat upside down lets your good luck spill out, so this vehicle-mounted holder keeps it superstition-proof, crown-up and ready for action. The design cradles your hat securely, preventing it from sliding, getting crushed, or becoming a backseat projectile when you hit a bump.

 

Perfect for trucks, SUVs, and even roomy sedans, this mount keeps your hat within easy reach without hogging valuable cabin space. Whether you’re hauling hay, heading to a rodeo, or just running into town, your hat stays in prime condition and exactly where you left it. No more tossing it on the dash, back seat, or floorboard—this is proper cowboy hat storage, done right.

 

Update 1/22/26: 

By popular demand, I have uploaded a print profile that splits the design in half so it may be printed on smaller format printers. Because of my filament requirements, it will be a challenge (at best) in open-frame printers that are not enclosed. Please carefully read the guidance on the print profile prior to printing to ensure your best chance of success! Please don't try to print this profile on an unenclosed open-frame printer, have a failure, and then provide the profile a poor rating.

Solid design! Fits perfectly on my ‘24 Navigator. My only “complaint” is the half circle where the crown sits on is a bit rough but could just be my setting as I printed off the app vs the PC program.

Hey! That looks really sharp! I'm not sure on what decisions the app versus PC makes, but I do believe it does reslice (which could impact the overhangs for sure). Do you remember if it used normal supports or tree supports?

Thanks for the fast response! That could be it, I’m still new to this so I’m figuring out the quirks as I print. I got you one better, Timelapse!

Replying to @MChoate :
I haven't seen any issues with the hat being marked up as of yet. And yeah, it's a big single print, even at an angle across the bed. One MIGHT be able to do it at an 45-degree angle across the bed and vertically, but I haven't tested that orientation.

I got to the last hour of my print and got spaghetti/tree support failure (or at least found them knocked over). I tried to do both sections on the same plate at once. Any recommendations on what I might need to improve round 2? I'm new and using an X2D. Thank you!

my advice would be to make sure that you have a clean build plate. it's possible that the supports aren't adhering to the plate and get knocked off.

Typically I clean it after 2-3 prints, maybe that isn't often enough. it only generated two tree supports for the entire build. However it turned to spaghetti before they even had a chance to adhere. I didn't know if it was because I attempted the build with petg I stead of asa. I appreciate the response.

What year/model truck do you have? What's the OD of the headrest posts and the distance between them? Maybe I can fab up vehicle-specific units?

Did the Ram seats change much over the years? This is designed for my 2011.

I printed it and it looks great but the headrest posts in my F150 are farther apart. I’ll see if I can adjust the width in Studio. otherwise the print came out great!

Thanks! I'm a big fan of functional and keep-it-simple designs. Complicated is often pretty, but complication for complication's sake is not something I sign up for.

Do you happen to have the distance between the hook points where the headrest posts go? I want to double-check the measurements to make sure it’ll fit my truck before I print it.

when this is printed in two pieces on the A1 how are you attaching them together? glue?

As the print profile explains, you just use two M3 screws (of slightly different sizes). Glue will not be sufficient.
