Did anyone have a chance to 3D print something that can connect onto the centre railing? I am trying to build a wireless charging dock for my android phone that would clip onto that railing.

 

When I bought my used R60 the dealership gave me a sunglasses case that attaches to the railing, which I never use because reasons. If you can get your hands on one of those you may have an easier time designing your charging dock, or rigging something you can hack on to the actual sunglasses case. Just a thought.

 

LMK if you figure something out. I have been thinking along these lines too.

 

I will gladly donate a bottom bracket that clips into the railing, or my sunglass holder for development of this!

 

I just got the car 2 days ago, actually wifes car so didn't get a chance to see the railings yet. I am trying at this point to reverse engineer the original accessories but I don't have any in hand yet. Might see if I can just create a simple spring type clip or something in that domain. But a video of the mechanism and high resolution images might also help, maybe even some dimensions...

This is a profile that worked for me. I am working to print out a phone holder/tray and if it is good I will upload the .stl but I tried multiple profiles and this one locked into the track nice and tight.

 

Nice will check it out. Thanks for sharing!

 

NP !

Note that the file is just a small section of the profile used for testing and it is a friction fit so there are no moving parts. I scaled up the length to about 120mm and the friction fit was still very nice. It has enough grip to stay where you put it but is still relatively easy to pop off if you wish to move it around. The tray that I made to go with this is interfering with this e-brake handle so I still have some tweaking before I can share that design too.

For any newbie 3D printer peeps out there:
Please note that the way you have your 3d printer set up (scale/extrusion) and your slicer settings will affect your experience/fit with this particular file. I suggest printing the smaller test piece first and making sure that you have that dialed in before going all in on a large print.
