Jetson Nano Suction Cup Mount

This Suction Cup Mount Kit adds suction cups to the back of your Jetson Nano, so you can stick it in hard-to-reach or moving surfaces. The suction cups work best on clean, smooth surfaces, such as glass or acrylic.

Suction Cup Mount (Overall) Suction Cup Mount (Detail)

Here's a few project ideas to get started:

  • Mount inside your car, and use the Nano to create a DIY head's up display
  • Mount to a window, and use the Nano as a motion detector
  • Mount to a dry-erase board, and use the Nano for real-time sketch recognition

Assembly Instructions

  1. Print the jetson_nano_board.stl, two jetson_nano_clip.stl, and four [jetson_nano_clips_tripod.stl](jetson_nano_clips_suction-cup.stl at 20% infill.
  2. Slide the two Jetson Nano Clips into the front of the printed board (this should be a tight fiction fit).
    • Note: The front of the board has centered slots and a rougher finish.
  3. Snap your Jetson Nano into the Clips — you should hear a nice click sound.
  4. Slide a 30mm suction cup into each of the Suction Cup Clips (this should be a tight fiction fit).
  5. Slide each of the Suction Cup Clips into the back of the printed board (this should be a tight fiction fit).
    • Note: The back of the board has off-centered slots and a smoother finish.
  6. Thoroughly clean the surface you'll be suctioning to, and then give the assembly a good press down onto the surface.
    • These suction cups work best on completely smooth surfaces, such as glass.
  7. Stick it and go!

Printer Settings

Each of these parts were printed on a Prusa i3 MK3S printer using the MK3S_MK3_0.2_Fast profile (0.2mm layer height) with PLA.
