I wanted to share my design for a 3D printed ash tray phone holder. The other designs I've seen tend to use a gripping type mount. I use a magnetic mount in my daily driver and thought that my 914 should have the same convenience.
Instead of trying to solve the problem of the mount, this ash tray is more of a mount for a mount. It emulates the fitting pattern found on many mounts designed for air vents. It should work with any mount you find that claims to work on air vents.

Payment methods accepted are Paypal, Venmo, and Square Cash. Sorry, I can't take anything else. The actual mount isn't included, You can get any variety of round air vent mounts off Amazon.

I went shopping for the actual mount today and I found one that is pretty much perfect. My main complaint about these things is that the slightest speedbump or pot hole and your cell phone and mount are bouncing around your ankles.
This is the Scosche MagicMount Vent Pro. I got it at AT&T but it is probably available online for less. I paid $29 + tax... It is on there for good! Attached image(s) |

I have a had more problems with the suction cup type falling off of the window, I have never had one of these magnetic ones let go of the phone and fall out, ever. I had mine in place in Helen Georgia all over the hill s up there and it did not fall out or off. Now in my other car I ahd it slide off the vent but the magnet was still on the phone (different vent). |
