PIVOT to RAM Adapter

PIVOT-RAM Adapter: Because Engineering > Admitting Defeat

Behold the unsung hero of tablet mounting—the PIVOT-RAM Adapter! This glorious little gadget bridges the gap between your trusty RAM mount and that fancy PIVOT iPad case you begrudgingly started using. No more wobble, no more shaky screens—just rock-solid, boomer-level reliability. Sure, I could’ve just bought a PIVOT mount like a normal person, but where’s the fun in that? Instead, I spent way too much time designing this bad boy because I’m stubborn enough to believe that old-school RAM mounts deserve to coexist with the latest tech. Why change when you can over-engineer?

This adapter is a labor of love, frustration, and a healthy dose of "I refuse to give up my RAM mounts." Compact, durable, and designed to make you feel like a genius every time you snap your iPad in place—this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.

Printing Instructions: Because a Good Adapter Deserves a Great Print

• Supports: Oh yeah, definitely use supports! This design has enough overhangs to make your printer sweat without them.
• Perimeters: Set it to 3 perimeters for that rock-solid feel—because you don’t want your iPad flopping around mid-adventure.
• Infill: Use 15% adaptive cubic infill. It’s the perfect mix of strength and efficiency, and it makes you feel like a pro when you explain what “adaptive cubic” means to your friends.
• Bed adhesion: Optional, but if you’ve got a printer that likes to play games with you, a little brim or skirt will keep things in check.

Filament Recommendations: Because Not All Plastics Are Created Equal

I printed mine in PLA+ because I’m extra like that, and it worked beautifully. Honestly, any filament will do the trick, but if you plan on leaving this beauty inside a plane baking in the hot Texas summer sun, do yourself a favor and use something more heat-resistant—like PETG, ABS, or even ASA. Unless, of course, you enjoy peeling a melted blob off your RAM mount after a 100°F day.
