RAM Ball Mount 25mm / 1 inch M5x20mm Yaesu FTM-500 FTM-400 Etc.

I got aggravated when I couldn't find a 25mm ball with an M5x20 screw to hold the remote head of your mobile radio. This should work with the Yaesu FTM-500, 400 and any radio that takes an M5. 

You will need to clean up the threads using an M5 tap or use the M5x20 SHCS to tap the threads. 

I have included the F3D file, STEP file, and STL. Disregard the shoddy modeling practices was in a big hurry.  Feel free to remix and use this any way you wish.

Uploaded a modification to the design – should hold up a little better now. Please come back and comment if you have issues and we will address them! 

EDIT: June 3rd 2024 

I hate to admit it, but the design is inherently weak. This is obvious when I think about it. Needs complete redesign, coming soon..
