F31 rear dash cam mounting.

335d Touring Xdrive · 09-22-2020, 09:57 AM

Do we have any fabricators on here that is willing to do a batch of these brackets?
We seem to still have some interest in these.
If there is anyone willing to help out, please send me a pm.
Cheers.

We might nearly be at 10

haha

OSUClevage · 09-22-2020, 10:21 AM

I'll purchase one as well if we have the 10 needed.

335d Touring Xdrive · 09-22-2020, 01:31 PM

If we can find a fabricator within the group, then we could possibly make this happen.

Do you have a blueprint, or better yet a CAD model of the bracket? If not, I can create an 'stl' and mass 3D print some using a medical grade Duraform PA (Nylon 12) material. This may also help eliminate signal interference too.

How did your camera mount to the bracket? Double sided tape or bolted / screwed?

Hi, I only have a bracket to copy off I'm afraid. This was originally only a bracket that was fabricated in a workshop.
The camera sticks to the bracket with a 3M double sided sticky pad.

Ok thanks. I'll render up a few bracket designs, print and test their fitment. I'll update this thread once I create one that works.

Senna · 09-23-2020, 01:17 PM

Put me down for one when you have formalised the design

dholdi2 · 09-23-2020, 04:49 PM

I made my own for my Blackvue after reading the threads referred to above.
I'm happy to knock a few more up if materials, postage and some beer tokens for my time are covered.
If there's any interest I will put a photo up.

ian332isport · 09-23-2020, 05:47 PM

I’ve got a Solidworks model of the bracket I made if it helps. I actually tweaked the model to better suit 3D printing too.

Ian.

335d Touring Xdrive · 09-23-2020, 06:12 PM

Cheers guys for your assistance with this. Any help is appreciated.
I wasn't making a penny on the ones i turned out which i also had powder coated. I did it for the good of the members of this forum but i am currently not in a position to do another run right now.

Mind sending the file to me? I can use yours as a starting point and render if needed.

Depending on how I position them within the sintering chamber, I can most likely fit 30 - 40 of these brackets per build cycle. Won't mind sending to those that want one, all I ask is postage be paid for.

Awesome, thank you! I've started the first build. Will take a few pictures later today when it's complete.

Any chance of re-uploading it?

OSUClevage · 10-02-2020, 06:00 PM

Hey guys just an update. Ended up having to travel for work so I didn't get a chance to start the build process till this morning. The build is currently cooling down so I'll break them out tmw morning.

I only built 15 of them this time around, as I didn't want to waste material if they dont come out right. I'll post pictures and results sometime this weekend.

chris-c · 10-03-2020, 03:31 AM

Any chance of posting the STL or other format files as I'd love to have a look and try and print myself.

Niicckk · 10-03-2020, 01:43 PM

Can i be put down on the list for one too please.

Many thanks
