3D Printing anyone?

I have been a bit bored as probably most of you. I'm looking at any and all mods I can do to the 4runner.
I recently got access to a 3D printer. I just printed these seatbelt keys.
I was wondering if anyone else has printed anything for their 4runner? Ive searched some free sites and found these and some other little things.

I've been printing PPE parts non-stop for a month. Finally caught up, and was shifting to personal stuff. Made a few vases for some family/friends. Printer went down yesterday, and I've just not gotten around to fixing it. Otherwise, I have a ton of things I want to print.

Thingiverse is a good resource.

What printer and slicer are you using? Welcome to the rabbit hole of 3D printing.

I have an Artillery Sidewinder X1 v4, and have been using Cura.
 
Printed some Baja S2 mounts to work with my Victory rack

Also designed a custom mount for the 67 Designs phone mount to put it exactly where I want it. Love this mod! Then I put the USB directly below it for charging and connecting to my upgraded radio.

What is a seatbelt key?

You shove it in your seat belt to stop the beeping from reminding you you're not wearing your seatbelt.

Saves you 0.67 seconds each time you enter your vehicle. It's a HUGE deal, man. Add up all those seconds over your lifetime and you'd have enough extra time to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes or play 5 rounds of Russian Roulette!

Some will argue they only use it off-road, so they're being safe.
 
Of course! My 4Runner is what got me started in 3D printing in the first place. I've done a few things for my 4Runner - microphone mount for stock location in overhead console, dash speaker mounts, antenna wrench, etc. Mostly just small things for now, but I'm always thinking of things to print. Most addictive hobby I've ever gotten into!

Not sure about yours but mine does not stop beeping right away. This was one of the first Toyota prints I found and I wanted to see if they worked as I have seen aluminum keys for this for sale.

You can also turn off the beeping if you have something like carista.
 
Have you tried that seatbelt chime silencer yet? The seatbelt end in my 4Runner looks a bit different. Not that I intend on ever using one, but I know my friends sometimes go without a seatbelt at the hunting lease or when checking land/fences. Went ahead and modeled this one up in Fusion 360 based on the actual seatbelt dimensions in my 4Runner:

Been meaning to make a dedicated thread about this project but this seems like an appropriate topic for it.

Wanted a nice clean switch panel with a decent amount of controls on it. Thought I'd try to replace the overhead panel with the light switch as it seemed to have plenty of space.

This required moving the bluetooth microphone so I printed a holder for the blank slot further up on the overhead console and stuck it there.

Definitely not an easy mod, nor simple to do. Had to cut apart a decent amount of the overhead console to allow the wires and everything to fit in that space. But I think the end result looks pretty slick.
 
@%1; Do you have more pics of that radio control head setup? Is that in your sunglass container?

The ones I printed that I posted with my original post work. I found the design on Thingiverse.
I like yours that is says 4runner. I haven't dived into creating my own files yet. I want to try it out and make a grille badge.
