Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum, but I had an idea. I used to be a product designer and figured I would take crack at designing a integrated mount to replace the cubby in the Z. This will be based off of a 7in Samsung Galaxy tablet.

When finished I can post the model file online for everyone to print one out for themselves using a 3d printer. Then you could just sand and custom paint it yourself. This isn't for money, I won't be selling them, I am just curious to try it out and want to share it with others.

If you or anyone else has tried making a cubby mount before please post your experience with some do's and dont's to help me along. I would really appreciate it. I will be modeling it in SolidWorks, so if you want the files as I go just let me know and I can send them.

Goals,
Flush integration with old cubby.
Removable tablet mount.
Integrated charging.
Potentially integrated aux cable.
Sleek finish.
Durable build.

Questions,
I know nothing about wiring, is there a way to plug the tablet into the back of the stock stereo and power it without using one of the cabin's 2 12v outlets.

Finally, when I finish the model and post it as proof, I might need a little help financially to print the first one. Not now but maybe later I could use some help. Or if you have a 3d printer, I would be happy to send you the final file so you can print it out and test it and provide some feedback.

Thank you very much, I am excited about this little side project,

With thanks,
Scott
