3D Printed Parts

[baby#yota]

Hi all, I recently acquired a rather nice 3D printer and got to thinking about parts for our t4rs. There are a handful of STL files out there for cup holders and gadgets, but nothing really useful. Out of curiosity what is something that you would find helpful?

I have a 4th gen and my first thought was a switch panel to replace that stupid little pop-out cubby under the HVAC cluster. Im going to be working up some prototypes in Solidworks for a few things. If people show interest I may start producing in volume.

I have a collection of "toyota" related things that I've found on thingiverse. Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects

This panel for the 5th Gen might be a starting point for your 4th gen flip out switch panel project:

I'd love to see what you come up with as all I've found that cubby useful for is holding some napkins and a pencil tire gauge.

I’ve got a preliminary CAD file for it, I still need to do a fitment test. Once I get it worked out I’ll post the files.

Modular storage systems for the trunk or under-seat areas that can help keep things organized, especially for those who use their t4rs for off-roading or camping.
