I recently finished my latest creation on the Up! 3d printer, magnetic iPad mounting brackets. This should be of interest to that small cross-section of people with 3d printers and an iPad. Just turn the bracket sideways to print it on a makerbot or reprap. If you use a screen protector or skin on your iPad you will need to sand down the interior of the clip to compensate. Glue a large diameter neodymium magnet or several smaller magnets to the back. I would not use smaller than .25 inch diameter neodymium magnets. If you use that diameter magnet, you will need 4 per bracket to have enough grip not to slide down a vertical surface. You'll need four brackets total. They were designed to be used as a rudimentary shock absorbers and spill guards as well so they can live on your iPad. All of this can be yours! Just head over to Thingiverse and download the
Magnetic iPad Mount to start printing away! Send me your pics if you print it! Feel free to pay me for my work, just click the button below.
