MagSafe Charger to 17mm Ball Adapter and Mount

This adapter lets you use a MagSafe charger with any 17mm ball socket mount — an industry-standard interface that has become widely adopted across a large ecosystem of aftermarket mounts. Compatible brands include Garmin, iBolt, Arkon, Tackform, ProClip/Brodit, Bulletpoint, and Fanaue, among others. 

Dashboard, windshield, vent, and adhesive mounts with 17mm compression sockets will work with this adapter.  This adapter will also work with my own 17mm AMPS-compatible socket mount, which further adapts to the common 30x38mm hole pattern used by many car mounting accessories.

I believe the Magsafe charger may have a couple different versions.  This adapter was made for the charger I bought at this link, which is 55.6mm diameter and about 4mm deep.  It has a textured or braided USB-C cable.

I am also working on a version of this adapter that will bolt directly to an AMPS 30x38mm hole pattern, while omitting the ball attachment.

The charger clips in and is secured by small, non-interfering retaining tabs that keep the charger sitting high, encouraging contact with the back of your phone for good magnetic attachment. The geometry is designed to allow airflow around the rear of the charger, to dissipate heat during use.

The model prints as a single piece at a 45° angle.  The 45° printing angle increases the strength of the ball post and helps with overhang issues, allowing printing with no brim or supports.
