Thanks for your post. I would love to print that if you decide post the code. please update your progress !!

I'll upload the STLs once the new print finishes and I can verify it fits. Probably tomorrow at some point.

I also don't want to take away from the drawers that are sold by the site sponsors. The print I made is loooooong, 10 hours, 14 hours and 22 hours for the 3 parts. Then you have to glue it, sand it, maybe paint it. It's not for everyone. I work in Visual Effects, so 3D modeling and printing is fun for me.

PLA has a relatively low melting point. It will warp in a hot car.

Can confirm. I have done "test prints" of various Rivian internal accessories, and one day parked in the sun, all of them warped. I do the test prints in cheaper PLA, then the final prints in something heartier.

Looks great!

We have been working on one as well, and have done some testing on it, but hesitating if we shall make the injection mold for it.

I have been told by a Rivian employee that the truck’s computer manage my (system) detects the camp speaker by a current draw /voltage drop across the pins. They also said the Three pins/pads are; neg, positive, and battery voltage feedback. So you should be able to fool the system by matching/simulating some aspect(s) of the speker’s electrical behavior. The first step is to open the speaker and see what it there. If it is just a resistor then you have a an east fix. If it is more complex they open up the back side of the pin armature in the console connect a recording oscilloscope to the three leads, and record the behaviors of the speaker while docked.
Another easy fix if you don’t want the system to control the units release from the docking slot is to add a bypass switch to control the latch. Probably with three options: interrupt, open, and closed.

If someone comes up with a solution, I can add it to my 3D model and upload them here.

I redesigned the front to be able to print the "handle" separately in a different color. Currently printing it in Compas Yellow, like in the render.

Updated original post with STLs if you want to print your own. Please post pictures if you print your own!!!

Did I miss the link for the STLs? (I checked the OP)

I'd really like to print one for myself.

Thanks so much for posting this!

Looks like I can only attach images here... It removed my zipped STLs. Here is the link to Printables:

This is so nice!! Thanks for creating this and sharing.

I have not ventured in to the world of 3D printing, what does a setup cost to be able to do this like what you showed in the 1st post.

I know initially price may be high but I'm sure there are many more things that could be printed just not sure about what the hobby will cost.

Thank you this is great!
And it doesn't take that long to print on Klipper based printers, only about 3 hours for mid section.

Is super glue going to be ok in the heat?

Is super glue going to be ok in the heat?

I've looked at this in the past, and it depends. Some varieties are good to 250F, which is sufficient for the inside of the vehicle. Others are good only to about 170F, which may be fine in a cooler climate but, I wouldn't chance it.
