Whitepaper: Moonlight Mounts LLC — 3D-Printed Mounting Solutions

Executive Summary

Moonlight Mounts LLC ("Moonlight Mounts") is a manufacturing company based just outside Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in 3D-printed mounting systems and protective enclosures for satellite internet hardware, networking equipment, performance GPS devices, and workshop tools. Every product is designed and printed in-house in the USA from UV-resistant ASA, paired with application-matched metal hardware. From an initial focus on satellite internet equipment, the catalog has grown to support four current Starlink hardware platforms alongside devices from Peplink, Dragy, Fanttik, Bosch, and Silhouette — with design, production, quality control, and customer support all under one roof.

Company Background

Moonlight Mounts was established in late 2024 around a simple conviction: getting away from it all shouldn't mean losing touch. The company builds on more than twelve years of 3D printing experience and a founder background in drone design and manufacturing, large-scale 3D printing, and CNC operations. That engineering history shapes how products are made: each mount is designed around the published dimensions of the specific device it carries, and the catalog is revised continuously as customers report what they need in the field.

Materials & Engineering

UV-Resistant ASA

Every mount is printed in ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate), a material chosen for outdoor service life rather than printing convenience. ASA offers exceptional UV resistance, weather resistance, thermal stability, and impact resistance — suited to years on a roof, rail, or dashboard without fading or turning brittle. Most products are offered in 18 ASA colors, from everyday Black, White, and Gray to Galaxy Blue, Teal, and Pop Pink; the Starlink Mini roof, rail, magnetic, and hybrid mounts come in black or white.

Polycarbonate Impact Protection

Hail guard enclosures and replacement shields use impact-resistant polycarbonate from the Lexan® family — 3 mm on Starlink Mini shields and 4.5 mm on the larger Standard 4 Gen 3 and V5 shields. Shields fasten through brass heat-set inserts and machine screws rather than threads cut into plastic, so they can be removed and reinstalled without degrading the enclosure.

Application-Matched Hardware

Metal hardware is specified per product rather than one-size-fits-all:

• 18-8 stainless steel oval head screws (#12 × 2" and 3") on roof and surface mounts
• Black-oxide alloy steel M5 socket head screws on rail mounts
• Stainless steel M8 square nuts on magnetic mounts
• Brass heat-set inserts in enclosures and hail guards
• Zinc-plated spring plungers driving the rail mounts' quick-release
• Encased ceramic magnets rated at 48 lb of pull each on magnetic mounts and enclosures

Product Portfolio

Starlink Mounting Systems

The deepest product line supports four current Starlink hardware platforms: the Starlink Mini, the Standard 4 Gen 3 dish (also known as Rev4, V3, V4, or UTA-232), the Starlink V5 (Gen 5), and the Starlink Router Mini. Depending on the dish, mounting options include interior-glass suction cup mounts for sunroofs and windows, flat screw-in roof mounts, boat and rail mounts in ten pole sizes from 5/8" to 2", magnetic mounts, a hybrid magnetic/surface mount, and polycarbonate hail guard enclosures.

Networking & Performance Devices

A locking suction cup mount supports Peplink Slim 40G 4x4 and 22G 2x2 MIMO antennas, and a windshield suction mount fits Dragy DRG69 and DRG70 GPS performance meters.

Garage, Workshop & Desk

Wall mounts and desk stands organize Fanttik electric tools (B10 Pro Max, C8 Nano, Slim V8, Slim V10), Bosch BAT414 batteries, and Silhouette CAMEO 5 tools. Wall mounts ship with 75 lb-rated drywall anchors and screws.

Spare Parts & Supplies

The fasteners, suction cups, magnets, and shields used across the catalog are sold individually as spare parts, alongside an 18-swatch color sample kit.

Design Philosophy

• Device-specific fit. No universal clamps or one-size adapters — each mount is engineered around one device's dimensions, and every product page states exactly which hardware it fits.
• Honest use ratings. Product pages state plainly where a mount installs and how it is rated to be used: interior suction mounts are designed to stay mounted while the vehicle is driven, exterior stationary mounts are labeled for stationary use only, and suction mounts install on interior glass, never exterior surfaces. Suction mount listings also state which vehicle glass passes the Starlink signal: pre-2025 Tesla Model Y and Model 3 roofs do, while Tesla's newer heat-rejecting glass (the 2025 and later Model Y roof, the Model Y L roof and rear hatch, and the Cybertruck roof) blocks it.
• Printed for strength. Strength in a printed part comes from wall thickness and how much material is inside. Every part is printed with solid outer walls about 2.5 mm thick (six passes of material around every edge), a dense 75% internal fill, and solid top and bottom surfaces — far beyond a typical hobby print. Every design is tested in real-world conditions by full-time travelers.
• Field-driven iteration. The catalog evolves with customer input — the boat and rail mount's ninth pole size (40 mm) was added in direct response to a customer request.

Manufacturing & Fulfillment

All production runs in-house near Atlanta on professional-grade 3D printers, with each order printed on demand: production takes 1–3 business days, followed by 3–5 business days of domestic transit, and orders ship internationally. Printing to order keeps every listed color available, and additive manufacturing deposits material only where the part needs it, keeping production waste minimal.

Customer Support

Technical support comes from the team that designs and prints the products in-house. Published installation and buying guides cover mount selection, installation, and sizing; verified customers share photo reviews on the reviews page; and pre-sale fitment questions are welcome through the contact page.

Conclusion

Moonlight Mounts LLC sits at the intersection of outdoor adventure and connectivity. A materials-first approach — UV-resistant ASA, polycarbonate shielding, and application-matched metal hardware — combined with in-house, print-on-demand manufacturing lets the catalog track new hardware quickly, from the Starlink Mini through the V5. As the devices people carry into the field keep evolving, so will the mounts that hold them.
