I made an iPhone 6 adapter for the cup holder on my 3D printer. The phone can be inserted or removed with the lightning cable attached. The front 2 holes are for directional sound.

Handy! I'm still waiting on the proper snap in adapter for the iPhone 6 (no idea how much longer a wait that will be). In the meantime I have got a Brodit proclip, though still yet to actually fit it to the car.
 
I've been using the 'extra' cup holder, with the length of a plugged in lightning cable to 'prop' it up, it sits well enough.

A proper holder would be better, but, well, this works ok.
 
I got the Kenu Airframe, fits perfectly on the vents.

I've got a holder that plugs into the 12V under the dash so the phone appears to float.

Are you able to upload the model to thingiverse.com? I'd love to print one of these for our i3.

Do you have a photo of this in the car?

I have a generic vent mount and it drags the vents to the down position with the weight and then it wants to slip off. Niue a great solution for me. 3d printing looks cool though need to find that in London
