The dust seals just keep crap out of that storage box? Then you glued them in?

I think I added the instructions on Thingiverse. But yeah, they keep the dust out of the box and are glued with super glue. They work.

Outstanding!

I don't have a printer. Are there any printing services that will do single orders you know of?

That's a shame.. that it's the only place we have under the hood for that compressor. Mine's currently occupied by a heavier duty relay and I'd love to mount my compressor under the hood but I don't know where to =(

Can you design a cover for the rear cup holders? My dog stands on the center console and I have been trying to find a way to fill in the cup holders in back. Flat top that plugs into the holder bits to make it a snug fit. I have a printer, just no time to learn how to design something.

I'd like to see a replacement piece designed for the wireless charging pad that can hold an Apple Magsafe charger. I may get around to it eventually, but I'm pretty inexperienced with CAD design software.

just curious, why do you want a magsafe on top of the other wireless charger?

The Toyota Qi charger is very slow and makes my phone really hot. Other people have reported that it won't work with their phones, likely because their phone case is too thick or their camera lenses create too much of a gap. So I think it would be cool to design a piece that can replace the existing Qi wireless charger with a Magsafe charger. There are threads online for other Toyota vehicles where people have done it.

There would be some challenges making sure the Magsafe pad is in the right place and it may need to protrude slightly to help with the camera lens issue.

3D printing opens up a whole new area of bespoke pieces to fulfill niche needs.

Check your local libraries. They print for free.

With the fun you can have, it's actually reasonably priced. I'm just getting started and I have printed several useful things on my $200 3D Printer. There's a lot to learn. I designed and printed a hole-through mount for my Digital Rear when I relocated it to the back of my cap. Not knowing, I used the wrong filament and it's starting to Warp. Printing again now with different stuff. Hopefully it will work out better. I'm sure I'll eventually upgrade, but it's making it fun to print things for my Tacoma. @Sagebrush , I actually had downloaded your oil channel early this morning. I'll be printing it after I get this mount finalized. Looks super useful.

I am also 3D printing enthusiast, but in this particular case printing these parts seems to me like a solution in search of a problem.
Wouldn't it be easier to just cover the holes with tape?

Where's the fun in that?
