iPad mini car headrest mount for back seat
A rear-seat holder for the iPad mini (195.4 x 134.8 x 6.3 mm) that clamps to the two headrest posts so children can watch films in landscape. Two post clamps close around 12 to 14 mm posts with M4 bolts and slide along a slotted bar to suit post spacing from 120 to 190 mm, while the cradle pocket is 197 x 137 x 9 mm to accept a thin case, with a 14 x 9 mm cable notch at the bottom. The cradle tilts 10 degrees, walls are 3 mm and everything prints flat. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Design a headrest tablet mount for an iPad mini with two clamps for 13 mm posts closed by M4 bolts, a slotted bar allowing 120 to 190 mm post spacing, a cradle with a 197 x 137 x 9 mm pocket tilted 10 degrees, a 14 x 9 mm cable notch and 3 mm walls.
Fit notes
Headrest post spacing is different in nearly every car, which is why fixed downloaded mounts never line up. In SpeakCAD you give your post diameter and spacing along with the tablet and case, preview the mount in the browser, refine the tilt in the chat, then download the STL.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
