I made a 3D model with an online program called Tinkercad. Tinkercad | Create 3D digital designs with online CAD

Then I used a website called shapeways to make 8 of them. They will ship them to my house for about 20 dollars.

Here is a link to my item.

I should see it later next week and I'll post pictures. I am going to tap it to the right size. I figured that I would try it out.

Thanks

Bad link.

I'm very curious what type of plastic they will be using.

Try that one. It states that is a "Strong and Flexible plastic". I figure that I would try it before I go and try to make them myself. They won't let you make it publicly available until there is at least one confirmed printing.
Thanks

Well I got them back from my 3D Printing Adventure. They look sturdy and they should work. I designed them with a Pilot hole to make it easier to drill and tap to the correct size. But they turned out alright. Here are some pictures.

Looks pretty nice to me. This is a resource that could come in handy. draw it up and have them printed.

The ones for my Satellite are expensive & I was looking at them. And the base is the same style as the license plate holders. So I bought a bunch of them and they worked. If you have a square hole or aren't concerened to file the hole you can use these
