That's pretty cool Paul, although I wonder why he didn't just use the plexiglass version. In order to make such a plate like he did, one would need the CAD model. I believe that is the hardest part of this whole 3D printing experience.

Looks like it turn out great.

measure, draw, print. voila parts design and printed in less than a few hours.

I've been designing and printing different scotty mounts.

Using this as a base for any attachments: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:793219, and doing all modeling in Fusion 360.

I've been printing the attachments completely solid after having a 60% solid one fail quite easily.

Be mindful of your print/build direction and the loads that may be applied to your parts.

Nylon12 and ABS should work well for most parts, check out ultem if you need something that can handle higher temps.

Transducer mount is a great item to print to suit your needs. I had to cut off a section of my transducer mount to fit my lowrance transducer.

Try having the parts laser cut from Acrylic, or HDPE. Acrylic glue will weld the three parts together and will only shatter when hit very hard.
