Description
A MagSafe phone holder for Porsche 718, 981, and 991, designed to mount near the glove box compartment.
This is an improved alternative to my previous center-console trim mount. It mounts in a different location, which helps reduce the chance of scratching the leather and keeps the phone holder farther away from the gear lever. The tradeoff is that the phone sits slightly farther away from the driver.
Fitment
Confirmed fitment:
Porsche 718
Porsche 981
Porsche 991
This version is designed for LHD cars. For RHD cars, mirroring the model may work, but I have not personally confirmed it.
Improvements Over Previous Version
Mounts near the glove box compartment
Less likely to scratch the leather trim
Does not interfere with the gear lever
Cleaner, more out-of-the-way placement
Still keeps the phone visible and usable while driving

Print Material
Do not print this in PLA.
Car interiors can get very hot, especially in direct sunlight. I recommend ASA or another heat-resistant material. PETG may work, but ASA is preferred.
MagSafe Magnet
This mount uses a standard MagSafe-style magnet ring:
46 mm inner diameter
54 mm outer diameter
I personally used a magnet ring removed from an old MagSafe charger, but similar adhesive MagSafe-compatible magnet rings should also work.

Assembly
Use super glue to attach the printed parts together. Alignment/index holes are included to help with assembly.
Make sure the magnet is securely glued in place before using the mount. If it feels loose or shaky, add more glue around the magnet ring or check that the printed parts are fully seated.
Notes
This mount was redesigned based on user feedback from the original version. The goal was to make it more leather-safe and less intrusive around the shifter area while keeping the simple MagSafe mounting setup.
