Wasn't 100% happy with the mounts I'd tried so deeded to make my own. These are all for use with Garmin, or any other, 17mm ball mount. I have magnetic mounts in the vehicles for use with phones and tablets (that used to be used as GPS's) The CD tray magnetic mounts as well as the steel ball magnetic mounts work perfectly with these. I found that the shorter the neck of the mount the less wobble/vibration it created, so I prefer the very stubby one.The different sizes take the regular sized super thin metal stick on plate (for phone) , a 22mm steel washer and 35mm 3259 steel washer. Be careful with the steel washers as they can be VERY hard to pull off the magnetic mounts. The super thin sheets are better and hold a Garmin 6.95" GPS perfectly

The odd-one-out is a remix of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:674873

The thicker the metal plate is that you stick on it the greater magnetic force

Advised by jfrancais that 6 & 7 had weird artifacts. Loks like Tinkercad created the stl's incorrectly. Did some monkeying around with Tinkercad and 3D builder and all 'seems; OK now
