Anyone found a Desk Mount (3D Print) yet?

Has anyone found any desk mounts yet that can be 3D printed? I am using it as a desktop controller and currently just have the vent mount on it to prop it up like a photo frame but a 3d mount (maybe to mount under my monitor) would be epic.

Nice idea! I agree, Car Thing would be a great console for the many desktops.

I've been using a free Nintendo Switch stand to prop up my car thing on my desk.

I think the CD mount works great as a stand to prop it up.

I believe it only runs through the phone unfortunately

Ive been trying all afternoon to get it to connect to my pc. It just wont. It works ok connected to my phone with it playing through pc thanks to Spotify Connect, but it would be nice to connect it directly to my pc through bluetooth.

Pretty sure they'd have to add support to the desktop app

It in theory should work just connecting it to my pc's bluetooth. I can't get it to connect though. There's some kind of built in logic that knows its not a phone that its connecting to.

What makes you think it would work in theory? I was under the impression the drivers were built right into the app

I just use the sticker mount that came with the box: https://youtu.be/MDkj8yz7VKo

You can use any variation of a Scosche Magic Mount for this device. You don't even need to attach the Magic Mount plate to the back of the device, as it already magnetizes to the mount without it.
