RAV4 Phone Holder Dash Mount (for Plasticlamp)

Update Aug 2025: I've made an improved v2 of this available here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1709142-rav4-phone-holder-dash-mount-v2-for-plasticlamp

Dashboard mount (requiring no glue, adhesives, or car modifications) for 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 cars, compatible with the popular “Plasticlamp” build-your-own-phone-holder system available here: https://www.printables.com/model/454546-plasticlamp-multi-purpose-clamp-adjustable-phone-h

This remix of an existing dashboard mount adds two M3 screw holes and hex indentations. This allows any of the Plasticlamp “Socket to Hex” parts to be securely mounted to it, forming the base of your custom phone holder mount. The Plasticlamp model page includes magnetic and mechanical phone holders that you can print, or go any other mount someone else has designed to be compatible with that system.

To use this you'll have to remove a dashboard panel, drop this on top of it, and then put the panel back to lock the mount into place. Watch the first 45 seconds of this video for instructions on removing the relevant dashboard panel (it's pretty easy):

Warning: Don't pull/rotate the mount too far up once installed. It creates a strong lever against the trim piece and you can accidentally break the trim by doing that.

I strongly recommend printing this in PETG or another heat-resistant material. PLA prints will deform and break the first time you leave your car parked in the sun.
