Source code for a 3D printed iPad Mini wall mount.

See the built files here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4766367

This is written using the SolidPython, so you will need to install the Python module to use it with the command:

pip install solidpython

Depending on your setup, you may need to just install it for your user account:

pip install --user solidpython

Once installed, generate the .scad files with:

python iPadMiniHolder.py

This will create a generated directory, with 3 files:

• iPad-Mini-Holder-Back.scad: The back of the holder, the side against the wall.
• iPad-Mini-Holder-Front.scad: The front, the part that holds the iPad in place.
• iPadMiniHolder-preview.scad: A preview of the 2 parts together - do not use for printing!

The grub screws are in OpenSCAD format in the screw.scad file, you will need to print 4 of these.

Most of the dimensions and variables are at the top of the iPadMiniHolder.py file. Run the file to build the OpenSCAD file, you can then open up in OpenSCAD. You can enable DEV_MODE so you can see what it looks like while developing (the default in this repo). Without this set, OpenSCAD will not be able to preview the design without changes (and it'll probably be very slow). Enable this once you're happy, and then render and export the STL's (I use the command line when using OpenSCAD to render files, but the GUI will still work). Note that generation will take a long time - maybe over an hour depending on your device.

The constants are all commented to assist you in making decisions.

A change worth considering is including the mounting holes in the back panel. I didn't include these as I wanted to drill them when I had it lined up on my wall - but drilling so the screws are countersunk is not easy.

Enjoy!
