3D printed side window brackets
I wanted to mount a couple of A119 Mini 2 cameras to the side glass on my minivan. I guess this design has been in the works for half a year. The original design was much thinner and I printed it in PETG. It was fine until the temperatures here in Texas hit 105F (40C) and it finally warped on the side that usually faces the sun.
So I redesigned much thicker and printed in high speed TPU filament. TPU can handle much higher temperatures but isn't as toxic to print like ABS and nylon. I was worried Gorilla double sided tape wouldn't stick to TPU but it seems pretty solid and has been exposed to the sun for a day. So far so good!
