Designing covers for media hub and front outlets

[Kindafearless]

After a year, I’ve never used the media hub or front outlet :/ I feel like these spaces could be better used!

To that end I’m designing covers to replace these plates. Has anyone else tried this? I can share the STL files once I have a functioning prototype if anyone else finds this useful.

I'll take the STL. Like you, I don't use the media center.

Cool, I’ll post it up on Thingiverse or something when done. V5 is printing right now. Probably take a few more revisions to get the fit perfect.

Think I got the fit. Working on mounting for the media hub first.

Have a working passenger side version. Work has been a little crazy lately... hope to test out the driver side one this weekend

I’ll post up the design this evening for anyone who wants to play with it.

Will probably iterate a little until the bolts are flush.

Why would you not use the media center?

 

[Kindafearless]

Moved it.

Anyone know of aftermarket blank filler panels available for the lower areas - right side for those without factory aux switches and left side for the non-factory locker crowd?

Have you tried printing that so it is a "tall" part not a "short fat" part? I don't know what the back side looks like but you could get rid of all the "waves" if you printed it on it's side.

It’s a good suggestion. I’ll give it a shot when I feel it’s past the prototype phase. Still using cheap filament and trying to get models out fast.

I was thinking of wrapping it in black leather for the final version, or cutting it out of aluminum with a CNC.

I really like this mod.

Have you thought about designing these covers to house two rocker switches?

Thanks, I like it too, the wires are much cleaner now.

It wouldn’t be hard to do, just negative extrude a rectangle though the covers. Do you have a 3d printer? I’d be happy to add a couple holes in the model for you.

I do not have a 3D Printer... Not super savy in that realm.. Suppose I better get a googling...
