This is a ball/socket mounting plate for a TomTom GPS. It was designed to be compatible with most TomTom GPS products.
There are two types of mounts:
This model is intended to be customized, which is why the OpenSCAD file is included. Nevertheless, I provide mounting plates for a 17 mm ball, which is what I have. It is likely that your ball size would be different.
Three OpenSCAD files are required, the primary tomtom_adapter.scad
script and two library files:
octsphere.scad
- my geodesic sphere library based on an octahedronisothreads.scad
- my simple ISO thread libraryPut these files in the same folder as tomtom_adapter.scad
or put them in your usual OpenSCAD library folder.
Supports: No
Resolution: 0.2 mm layer height or less
Infill: 30% cubic or gyroid
Note: Use at least 3 perimeters. PLA is not recommended; the fingers around the ball break too easily. PETG or ABS work better.
Before assembling, rub some wax from a crayon or candle into the threads. You don't need to gum up the threads with wax. Just apply enough on to lubricate the threads. Some types of plastic have high self-friction.
