Super cool! I ordered the kit and it's supposed to be delivered UPS Monday; assuming that the hardware is on it's way, too. Now if only my car wasn't on jack stands... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Will these be available in black in the near future? The Polyamide is white and this is the only color available. But it is paintable. I tryed dyed polyamide, but the kit is too compact an lots of surfaces are not dyed correctely. Juctions are white anyway and need touchup. It also increases parts size and it assembles very badly. |

Information about ancillaries.
There next to no demand for white screws and my stock is out. So I decided, white screws will not be offered as an option anymore. ... |

OK, what am I missing? The grip range is too large for my Iphone which is ~58mm. Do I need my phone in some case to fit? 2nd, it's floppy and I dont want to over tighten that little bolt. Not sure wh it has mch threads eith. Seems like the long one would be a tapered screw like a sheet rock screw. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Is it just me???????

The phone support was designed for minimum 60mm so you are a bit under. One of the clamps is free and the other has to be ajusted and tightened. You can put your phone in a case, this would be the easiest way to fix the issue. The clamps have a rake and if your phone is very thin, you can glue a 3 to 5mm rubber or foam on the surface that will receive the back of your phone. THis will push the phone towards the clamps. You can shorten the main part about 1mm each side with a file and gain 2mm clamp travel If the ball join with main frame assembly is floppy you better disassemble and put some glue on the surface before re assembling. This is not intended to be disassembled in the future. |

Johannes, I received my kit from iMaterialize yesterday and cut all the pieces out this morning to paint. This is damn ingenuous! I'm amazed at how you packaged everything together and how well it goes together. Very, very clever. Looking forward to receiving the ancillary parts... as you said, just in time for the paint to dry.
Note to others- I got a little happy trimming the excess plastic and accidentally trimmed off the two little "posts" on each end of the little cross-members that were meant to pop into the main body. Nothing a little super glue couldn't fix, but just a small watch-out for anyone else... Again, thanks so much for doing this! |

Thank you for your message JoeD. Yes it was very challanging to have all the parts in this small volume in order to lower the price. Every decision on the support design had to be made in accordance. By the way when assembling the last prototype, I also accidentelly cut one of those small posts on the cross memeber (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)...
As also said to 76-914, on final assembly you can glue the ball joint to the main frame to secure the screwed assembly. This reduces stress on the plastic thread that is in the ball joint and prevents from wobeling. I suggest you don"t paint the surfaces that will receive the glue. |

This is not intended to be disassembled in the future. Pretty much what I planned on doing. I'll use a strip of foam pipe insulation to correct the dimensional problem. Then I'll replace the machine screw w/ another style and JB Weld the square post to the body. I'll post my results if I have results. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Made those two mods and luv it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Also hit it with some duplicolor vinyl spray paint.
If you look closely you can see the head 0f the #8 1" sheetrock screw and the bead of JB Weld around the stem base. Solid as a rock now. Also added a thin strip of foam on one side. The texture of the material blends well with the OEM look. |

Looking good. For small phone I suggest you put two rubber bands.

Screw kit arrived yesterday. Hopefully the mount will be following shortly.
What about sourcing a black o-ring for the tensioner? |

Good evening guys,
I ordered one but received three of the cell phone mounts. At first I assumed that I screwed up but after looking at the paperwork I actually received units that belong to C Kutter & D Bryson. I don't know who these members are but if they could PM me I would like to confirm the shipping addresses. Thanks David |
