This is a version of the 7100 mount I designed to use magnets which allows for somewhat quick release.

This is a remix of something I designed and made so I don't really think of it as a remix ;) - anyhow the magnetic mount version of the RAM Mount for the ICOM 7100.
Original is here:
The difference with this one is it has magnets inside it so you can quick release the control head and lock it in the glove box or whatever.
This uses 15x2 magnets you can purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G48647D - or anywhere you can find that size. Want a different size? I included the cad files with this one - or maybe just ask me. There are some limitations on what you do fwiw as all the holes are 2mm deep and the surface for each is only 4. Any thicker and it gets a bit unwieldy for a plastic ram mount.
The one in the picture was printing in ASA on a Prusa XL. I would highly recommend using something very temperature resistant - also if you mount this near the windshield during the summer I would put a hat over the top of the control unit so it doesn't get baked when you park the car outside. Fwiw this has been tested using PETG - it works, but by the end of summer you can see where its partially melted and deformed on the RAM clamp - the inside of your car gets that hot...
Also the cable in the picture is the one recommended by ICOM for mobile use - IC-OPC-2253. The cable that comes with the radio is WAY too stiff - may end up damaging it
Lasty use super glue to put the magnets into place - take great care in orienting them properly.
Known issues: the upper left hole for the feet to sit into interferes with the hold for one of the magnets. I could move the magnet hole to the right, but they wouldn't be symmetrical anymore. It doesn't cause any issues and only you and I will know about it.
