Tablet Integration Poll

charnathan

In all honesty, I would have gone the route of a plug and play if I had a 3D scanner. But the high end ones are costly (30k to 70k) to get a good resolution and then I could scan all the parts that it interfaces with.

I also thought of a way to save the cubby and incorporate a system similar to the lid, but it was either going to be too small of a tablet/phone or too big of a housing that looked god awful to have there. I even wanted to reuse the latch mechanism, but after a few months of development I said @#$% it and went to integrate it into dash itself.



I do like the idea of a clean look too, but I think the cost will be an issue with some over that. So I'll more than likely offer two options: 1) as printed straight from the printer or 2) with alcantara (assuming I can find a fabrication shop I like and is willing to do this low volume work)

Carbon Fiber is not simple to do with this current design, nor do I have experience with working with Carbon Fiber, so that will be out of the question for the near future (never say never I guess, as I am starting to play around, but I'd have to make molds for this to work on this design)

After I get a feel that more and more people will want to look into this, I'll have both options shown in this thread before I make a thread in the marketplace for sale.

I'll also probably have to start off with only the Galaxy Tab S2 8" first and then offer the iPad Mini for others like yourself Wonka2581. I just want to make sure the files are updated correctly to fit everything and I'll have to get an iPad Mini 4 to do so.



If this becomes a dead project, I might be willing to sell it to you, but it you would need to have access to a 3D CAD software like SOLIDWORKS to make it easily modified, as that it what I used to design this.
