Interesting.

I couldn't figure out how this thing works. Do you have a photo of it installed?

Very cool. Interesting shape. I assume it's been well-engineered for water flow.

Okay, now I have a valid reason to buy a 3D printer. Heck, if I get a printer, maybe I'll offer these devices to forum members.

Yea, testing video.

LOL.. I have a 3d printer.. did some upgrades.. now I have to put it all back together.. after 6 months...
LOL

Had one Mac 26M owner 3D print cup holders for the stern seats... (did not need them.. I have stainless ones already)
I printed remote control holders for all my remotes on the boat.
I did even see some sun covers/mounts etc for various electronics on thingiverse.
(search your "brand name" ie: Raymarine... etc)
