Customizable Console Organizer (3D Print)

[RWerksman]

Selfishly give Fusion a whirl, we have a personal (free) edition for exactly this reason. Lots of online resources to help you learn. Runs on Mac and WIN.

Not an AD as its free!

I really wish you all would add more features to Tinkercad (filleting, beveling, and negative space in addition to solid or hole) and spending more time devising a way to make the transition between it and Fusion more seamless.

Right now, the former is underpowered and jump in complexity to go to Fusion pretty severe.

I have this printed and so far so good. The "key" holder is nice, but will not fit a house key, but smaller keys.

I have a new model for the keys that allows larger keys. It also adds an internal piece to help hold the key in place and keep it from rattling. Its pretty tight for the big keys but pretty nice for the regular ones. Unclear how well it’ll last long term or if it’ll warp over time. The top photo here is me holding it upside down showing it won’t fall out. I’ll publish the model soon.

While that's cool. You may not want to share pictures of your keys as it could be used to replicate the keys.

Good point … even if the chance is low.

LOL!!!

My printer is finally free to start trying some of these parts. I think I am going with yellow PLA.

I've uploaded all of the STEP files now. If you make or remix this, I'd love to see how it turns out. It's always fun to see what color combinations folks choose and how you organize your center console (or don't!). I encourage you to publish a make on the printables site so other folks can find it and see!

I share nearly everything I modify, it's the best way to get more ideas and solutions. My next step is to go look at everything I've stored in there. The way my brain works (or doesn't) I barely have an image of it all. Also time to figure out what doesn't go in there any more, if it's not used.

I'm printing the upper level now.

I chopped off the top layers of the base organizer, and kept the bottom to use as a false floor to keep my SSD hidden:

It would be great to have a parametric cube/cylinder option. I'm no good at the actual model making though.

Two small mods, where I use the slicer as a club and chisel...

Thanks for another great print! The Bambu slicer did some funky stuff on the first layer so I had some adhesion issues, but I let it ride on a wing and a prayer and it's looking great. I just won't flip it over ?

 

[blank_lemur]

I'm glad it ended up working out! Here's what my first layer looks like...

Yeah that's way better... For some reason mine looked similar to yours for about half of the first layer, no idea why. I don't know enough about printing to know if there's some setting I can change to fix it

 

[blank_lemur]

Looks like you might have concentric infill set for first layer? and for some reason it's doing infill before perimeters? I'm really not sure...

 

[SwampNut]

I've never used that Hilbert top option, is that what causes all the top surfaces to be rought?

 

[canyonero]

Thanks for the suggestions! I put it back to the "standard" pre-set vs "strength" and the first layer looks just like yours. What I get for trying to be clever
