This simple bracket allows you to easily attach an Apple AirTag to any object. Held in place with six screws, it's incredibly secure. This bracket was intended designed to attach an AirTag to a disc golf disc (it works great for that, btw!), so it has also been designed to limit aerodynamic interference.
Included is a file for a template to help mark the hole positions for the tag.
In addition to the printed files, you will need:
- 6x M2 hex nuts (here are the ones I used)
- 6x M2 screws (whatever length you need--I like to use these extra-wide screws to ensure maximum holding power)
Instructions
- Print the AirTag holder (and optionally, the template). Print in the given orientation and use supports. You can use any material, but for something that needs impact resistance (such as the aforementioned disc golf disc) something stronger & more flexible is recommended, such as TPU.
- Mark and drill the 6 requires holes on your object. You can either a 2mm or 5/64 drill bit. If you're drilling through a soft material such as a disc golf disc, you may need to use a slightly larger bit and use some force to get the screws through.
- Insert the hex nut into the holder. The pockets are positioned so every nut has a point facing the center. The easiest way to insert the nuts fully is to insert the screws from the underside and tighten them to pull the nuts into the pockets.
- Add your AirTag with the metal side facing out.
- Screw the bracket in place.
