    I am looking for someone who is or may know someone who is a plastics molder. I am looking to make a mount for a cell phone/small tablet.

    You should probably look into people who 3d print.

    So I'd idealy like to have a mount that comes out of the upper cup holder slot. Slides out, flips up and locks into place... Not sure how possible it is. Could also just mount a flat piece on two cylinrical pieces, as a drop in. Idk id like to hear possibilities if this is what you areninto.

    So i have a bluedriver device that allows me to virw my motor in a live view mode, and my lap is not the most convenient place.

    3D printing is the way to go for one off or small production runs. Injection mold tooling is very high cost.
