    Can it be printed?

    Working on creating a mount for a tablet in my dash and I am going to send it off to be 3d printed since I don't own a printer. I don't have any experience printing and wasn't sure if the clips can be printed since the clips kinda hang over and that part not supported.

    With support, yes. You pay for that plastic in the price.

    Most hobby printers probably can't print anything that large.

    I'm estimating that's 10-11 inches wide at the widest?

    Heck, if he's going to send it out to get printed, no problem.

    Yeah its probably about 10 inches wide. I just wasn't sure with the upside down L shape for the clips would hold don't know much about 3D printing do and don'ts when modeling.

    Its a bit large for a consumer (home) printer but definitely printable. And not that much more expensive either.

    The Davinci (surprisingly) might handle that, it's 8" ^3, but I'd have to kick it at a 45' angle from the print bed, making the amount of support required prohibitive. Half the build space would be support!
