Default Center Console Tray Keeper

Got sick of my tray sliding in my center console so I made this quick in Fusion 360 and 3D Printed. I will give a link to where you can download and print your own. If you do not have a 3D Printer I will be happy to make you one and send to you for $10 (PM me). Design may change over time as I just put it in. (ignore print quality for now as it was a first run - it is about an hr print and I can print it with a little better resolution).

Here is link to print yourself.

Here are some quick pics of it and installed.

I solved the problem on my new 2019 Lariat and just bought another tray so now have two trays on top and don't have to dig around in the bottom for stuff.

I thought about that too! Except I have stuff in below that I access quite frequently!

I added one like below and put a cabinet handle on it. Great to keep frequent stuff on top and quick to remove for stuff below.

I just cut a strip of electrical tape(Actually hockey sock tape but it's close to electrical tape) in half length-wise and put it in the slot on the tray.It doesn't slide anymore but still moves if I want it to move. I made a wood divider for under it so I need the tray to be moveable.

They are nice but put a cheap handle like this in the middle ridge. Makes it much easier to get out.

Yup, that was definitely in the plan once I get it.

What printer do you use, where did you get it, for how much, what materials can it use, where do you buy those materials, for how much...? How much is Fusion360, and is there a demo version? I've been itching to get a printer for a while, but I don't know enough about them to be comfortable buying one without LOTS of advice.

I have several work 3D printers (2 MakerBot Rep2's and Ultimaker 2+). Printers range in price, the ones I use are probably more for production and cost around $3-7K. However I have seen hobbyist printers for ~$300 that are pretty good. I use mostly PLA and some ABS. Both printers have a wide range of filament you can use. Fusion 360 is free to hobbyist's (as long as you do not profit from it) (I have AutoDesk Design and Manufacturing Package and is included). I'd visit the following sites to learn more. It is pretty easy to get started and have successful prints, however the problem is when you don't! LOL - The hardest part about 3D printing is man again all the settings when a print fails. I have been 3D printing for work/personal for about 5 years. I am not a pro, but I can pretty much figure out and if I cant I reached out to the sites listed.

https://community.ultimaker.com

And whatever printer you get, there is a community that will help.
