3D printed lanyard attachment

MitchNC · Sep 23, 2019

Just got my 3D printer today. Got it built and tuned up and printed my first part.

I don't take credit for the whole thing.
There was a design on Thingiverse by Jim Oliver that I used as the basis. That design had a ring oriented vertically that prevented the phone holder from folding.

I modified it so that the rings are horizontal and then I strung a twist tie through them to attach the lanyard to.

I did mine today, on a concept a little more solid.
If the plastic ring is broken, whis the radio plus the weight of the tablet, it can hurt!

Autel Evo controller lanyard attachment by mitchNC

This is an attachment that allows a lanyard to be tethered to the Autel Evo controller. It is based upon a great design by Jimo1966. That design didn't allow the phone holder to be folded down. I modified it with 2 horizontal rings to allow the controller to fold up without removing the part. I...
